Chapter 1658: Chapter 1658: I Want a Child

This time, Jiang Xiaobai had no idea how long he had been asleep, but Ao Yan waking up was undoubtedly a good thing.

In his eyes, his mind, his heart, his consciousness—there remained only Ao Yan!

In the whole world, she was the brightest!

The two gazed at each other, their eyes blurred with tears. After a long while, they suddenly exchanged a smile.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could react, Ao Yan suddenly leaned in and kissed him!

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes widened, his subconscious urging him to resist, but he quickly sank deeply into the sea of love.

What followed was a tender reunion long overdue.

By the time they came to their senses from that lingering intimacy, it was already evening. Jiang Xiaobai looked at the beauty lying quietly in his embrace, his face full of happiness.

"Xiaobai, from now on, we won’t be separated again, right?"

Ao Yan gently massaged Jiang Xiaobai’s brow. "I don’t know exactly what happened to me, but I had faint awareness during that time. I knew you were by my side; I could even hear what you were saying."

"I really wanted to help you, to wake up, but I couldn’t... Xiaobai, that feeling was so despairing. Please don’t make me experience it again, okay?"

As she spoke, Ao Yan’s eyes turned red, and tears fell freely.

Her sorrow wasn’t for her own plight but for being unable to stand by Jiang Xiaobai’s side during his most helpless moments, to weather the storm together.

A husband and wife are supposed to be like birds of the same forest—why should calamity make them flee separately?

The two had long become gourds on the same vine, breathing as one, sharing hardships.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but hold Ao Yan tightly, a soft smile appearing on his face.

"Don’t worry, Yan’er, it won’t happen again, truly it won’t."

"I’ve already dealt with my troubles."

It wasn’t until now that he had the chance to examine himself. That void within him, the missing piece, was already gone!

And judging by King Qin Guang and the others’ previous attitudes, the issue of his lifespan should have been resolved as well.

So, this was good!

He no longer had to worry about being unable to accompany Ao Yan and the others, and he could now devote more energy to many things.

But the mystery he couldn’t yet unravel was the identity of that enigmatic woman.

The woman had no overpowering aura, appearing completely mortal, but it was obvious that she couldn’t be ordinary.

She had resolved his Primordial Chaos grindstone problem effortlessly!

This person was surely extraordinary!

At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai speculated that the Celestial Palace she had taken him to wasn’t some illusory scene but the actual Celestial Palace!

But why was it so desolate? What had it gone through?

Now, where was that Celestial Palace?

"What are you thinking about?"

Ao Yan said gently, "Why? Just barely recovered and already planning to save the world?"

"No, do I look like someone who’d do that?"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled, raising his head to look at the ceiling. "It’s just that some things can’t be figured out, and it’s so frustrating."

Ao Yan pursed her lips, suddenly sitting up and starting to get dressed.

"Enough joking around with you. You’re the type to overthink everything, even things you aren’t supposed to do. You work harder than anyone else!"

"The world doesn’t stop continuing just because of you!"

Ao Yan spoke with slight resentment.

After all, she had just woken up, enduring the pain of losing Jiang Xiaobai and the despair of struggling to awaken helplessly.

What she wanted most now was simply to stay by Jiang Xiaobai’s side!

And yet this man was contemplating all these random serious matters—how could she not be angry?

Realizing his mistake, Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly grinned sheepishly, grabbing Ao Yan’s arm.

"Dear, it’s just my habit of thinking about stuff subconsciously. We’ve been through these years like this; don’t be mad, okay?"

With his ingratiating face, Ao Yan finally let out a soft hmph and turned her head away, though a trace of happiness glimmered in her eyes.

A moment later, the two got dressed and walked out of the courtyard; no one had come to disturb them.

Sitting by the stone table, Jiang Xiaobai personally brewed a cup of tea for Ao Yan.

"What’s next on the agenda?"

Ao Yan whispered, "Also, Xiaobai, haven’t you noticed any changes in me?"

Jiang Xiaobai froze, hurriedly inspecting Ao Yan. He initially thought it might be something bad, but when he finished, he was dumbfounded.

Ao Yan was now at the Celestial Sovereign realm!

"No... no way, how did you manage to level up like this?" Jiang Xiaobai muttered in disbelief.

Ao Yan cast a sidelong glance at him. "Why? Are you upset that my strength improved?"

"No, no, it’s just that..."

Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t comprehend how simply reconstituting a divine soul could lead to such a terrifying leap in power.

"Perhaps when King Qin Guang and the others were helping out, they lent a little extra aid. Also, while reconstituting my fragmented soul, I saw the Ancestral Dragon."

Ao Yan suddenly spoke. "In my consciousness, the Ancestral Dragon appeared. I don’t understand what it means, but the Ancestral Dragon gave me a ball of golden light. When I woke up, my strength had already reached this level—it should be some kind of dragon heritage memory."

Jiang Xiaobai understood now. Given the overwhelming power of Ao Yan’s bloodline, upon careful sensing, her bloodline strength surpassed even Ao Nong’s as the Dragon King of the East Sea!

Reconstituting her divine soul was already an extraordinary event, so running into such a situation made sense.

Immediately, Jiang Xiaobai grew excited. Didn’t this mean his wife was now absurdly powerful?

Having those close to him grow stronger—this was a good thing!

"There shouldn’t be anything too urgent next. My strength has improved a bit too, though I still need to stabilize it. You’ve just woken up, and your power surged so fast without control—you can’t leave it like that."

Jiang Xiaobai lowered his head to think for a moment before saying, "Why don’t we go find the prism space in the underworld? That thing’s always great for improving strength."

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Ao Yan chuckled and gently leaned against Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder.

The two quietly enjoyed the serene moment.

After some time, Ao Yan suddenly looked up and stared intently at Jiang Xiaobai.

"Jiang Xiaobai, I want a child!"

*Pffft!*

Jiang Xiaobai nearly choked on his own saliva, staring at Ao Yan in shock.

"I want a child!"

Ao Yan said seriously, "You’re way too reckless about things—every other day you’re flirting with death. It’s too worrying!"

"I don’t care. I want a child. If you ever actually die someday, at least I’ll have a child to keep me company!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked dumbfounded, "Wait, honey... isn’t saying this a bit harsh? Are you cursing me now?"

"Who cares about you? I don’t care; I just want a child!"

Ao Yan was adamant, though her heart held other intentions.

She truly wanted to have a child with Jiang Xiaobai.

This was the fruit of their love, their continuation.

Before Jiang Xiaobai could say more, Ao Yan suddenly lunged forward, and the room erupted into an earth-shattering battle once again!

Suffice it to say, not a scrap was left behind!

Meanwhile, at the Celestial Palace’s fishing pond, the Qing Emperor gazed solemnly at the rippling waves before him.

"It’s finally begun."
