Chapter 788 The Jiang Family's Questioning!
"Master will be here soon."
Ji Luoxin walked in from outside the door. Her belly was also slightly protruding, even more so than everyone else's.
His every move no longer carried the sharp edge of the former prince; his eyes were now filled with tenderness.
Upon hearing Ji Luoxin's voice, the Ji family women who had been lost in thought in the side hall all stood up at the same time and tidied their hair and skirts.
"Squeak—"
The heavy palace gates were slowly pushed open.
Lin Qiye walked in slowly, his hands behind his back.
The moment that imposing figure in black and gold came into view, the once whispering hall fell into complete silence.
All the women of the Ji family were staring at him intently, as if drawn by a magnet.
It was a complex look in his eyes, a mixture of worship, greed, and instinct.
Lin Qiye didn't look at them much, only casually glancing at their slightly protruding bellies.
"It seems you've recovered well."
He spoke calmly.
Ji Luoxin was the first to react. She lifted her long skirt and quickly walked to Lin Qiye. Her once proud face now only showed humble hope.
She knelt on the ground with great understanding, her hands clasped together, her voice soft and melodious:
"Master, the Ji family... has recently sent another urgent message."
"They don't know our current situation..."
"Tell the Ji family, what's wrong with this? You are now my women, and this is the best basis for our cooperation."
"After all, isn't that what trust is all about?"
His words, spoken so casually, brought a sense of reassurance to all the women of the Ji family present.
In Lin Qiye's words, possessing these women, who were the heirs of the founding family and elites, had become the so-called foundation of trust.
Ji Luoxin's heart, which had been filled with anxiety, strangely calmed down after hearing Lin Qiye's "justified" answer.
Looking at Lin Qiye's cold and confident face, she suddenly realized that she had indeed been too fixated on the family's perspective.
In the eyes of the man before him, the Jiang family and the Ji family were nothing more than a huge chess game.
If that's the case, why worry about family wrath?
As long as Lin Qiye is strong enough that the Jiang and Ji families have no choice but to accept the cooperation, their worries are completely unnecessary!
Ji Luoxin hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lin Qiye, a hint of determination in her eyes:
"Master... since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore. Rather than letting the spies sent by the family pass on some wrong information, it's better to have a new team from the Ji family arrive directly, so they can see for themselves and speak with you personally."
"I'm worried that my words might be inappropriate and misinterpret your meaning, thus ruining your plans."
Lin Qiye nodded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "Sure, you're always welcome here."
He didn't take the Ji family's arrival seriously.
After all, the arrival of the second elder of the Jiang family was imminent, and this was something that could not be kept secret.
Since we've started, let's do it thoroughly!
I'll take over the women in your family, and I'll not only let you know, but I'll make you watch willingly, and even make you thank me!
……
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Galaxy C10755, Emerald Star, Central Starport.
The atmosphere here has become extremely tense.
All civilian airways were forcibly cleared, and the Starport's protective arrays were operating at full capacity, with rows of bright defensive lasers forming a deadly net around the Starport.
"Buzz—!!!"
With a violent tremor in deep space, ten heavy battlecruisers, painted entirely in dark gold and bearing the intricate crest of the Jiang family on their bows, tore through the clouds surrounding Emerald Star in an imposing formation.
Jiang Yunhe, the second elder of the Jiang family, was standing with his hands behind his back on the bridge of the flagship, wearing a dark gold elder's battle robe, surrounded by the aura of a high-level martial god that was enough to distort space.
He looked down at the emerald green planet, his eyes filled with a hint of gloom and scrutiny.
"snort."
Jiang Yunhe let out a cold snort, his gaze sweeping over the neatly lined-up welcoming crowd below the starport, finally settling on the bustling yet unfamiliar starport.
"What exactly has that girl Jiang Yao been up to all this time?"
A middle-aged martial god beside him respectfully said, "Second Elder, should we send out a small team to scout out their strength first? If they're up to something..."
"No need."
Jiang Yunhe waved his hand, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes: "Thirty Martial Gods accompany us, plus this old bone of mine. In this remote, peripheral star sector, even if Lin Qiye really has some trump card, he can't cause any big waves in the face of absolute strength."
"I want to see what has bewitched Jiang Yao, that she dares to delay even the family's urgent order!"
The warship slowly descended, and the hatches opened wide.
Jiang Yunhe led a group of Jiang family experts out in single file.
He didn't launch an attack directly, but instead calmly surveyed his surroundings.
Until his gaze swept across the front and he saw the young man in black battle armor, and Jiang Yao and Jiang Lingyun, who were standing obediently on either side of the young man.
Jiang Yunhe's originally gloomy and indifferent face turned as red as if it had been burned by fire, turning into a deep liver color!
That was Jiang Yao, the Jiang family's chosen future heir, a proud goddess possessing the purest bloodline of the Jiang family.
That was Jiang Lingyun, the most outstanding member of the Jiang family branch, aloof, noble, and unparalleled.
But at this moment, the two most outstanding and noble women in the Jiang family had their originally flat bellies slightly bulging!
The gentleness and maternal glow unique to pregnant women flowed through them, like a resounding slap across the face of Jiang Yunhe, an elder of the Jiang family!
After the deathly silence came a volcanic eruption of fury!
"How dare you!!!"
A piercing and humiliating roar instantly shattered the tranquility of the starport.
A martial god from the main branch of the Jiang family standing beside Jiang Yunhe had bloodshot eyes and was staring intently at Lin Qiye.
He felt a surge of blood rush to the top of his head, not only because his dignity had been damaged, but also because of the jealousy that emanated from his very bones!
He pointed at Lin Qiye, his voice trembling and roaring with excessive anger:
"Lin Qiye, what exactly do you mean by this?! What do you take our Jiang family's heir for?"
The martial god gritted his teeth, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.
He had fantasized countless times about getting close to a goddess like Jiang Yao, but now, this goddess actually exists?!
This psychological gap, this shame and indignation at having his family's sacred land trampled by an indigenous person, caused him to completely lose his mind!
"How dare you lay a hand on the Jiang family's bloodline?!"
The Jiang family martial gods who had originally followed the Second Elder in a menacing manner were now also experiencing a surge of spiritual energy and a murderous intent soaring to the sky.
Jiang Yunhe's usually imposing face was now flushed crimson with suppressed rage. His sharp eyes were fixed on Jiang Yao, and his voice seemed to be forced from the deepest hell:
"Jiang Yao, answer me! What exactly is going on?!"
The air froze in that instant, and the oppressive aura belonging to a high-level martial god crashed down like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami raging.
Jiang Yao's delicate body trembled slightly. Under that terrifying pressure, she instinctively wanted to lower her head, but when her gaze swept over the man in the black and gold battle suit beside her, an indescribable sense of security instantly overwhelmed her fear of her family.
She took a deep breath, deliberately lifting her slightly protruding belly to meet Jiang Yunhe's piercing gaze, and said, word by word:
"Second Elder, Jiang Yao already belongs to the master!"
"Owner……"
These two words, like a drop of water falling into boiling oil, instantly plunged the entire Jiang family flagship into a violent uproar!
"What?!"
"Your Highness, have you gone mad?! What nonsense are you spouting?!"
The group of martial gods accompanying the Jiang family were all dumbfounded, their anger almost burning away their reason.
The young martial god, who had been itching to make a move, was now furious.
He suddenly drew the Star-Slaying Battle Blade from his back and pointed it directly at Lin Qiye!
Since the Second Elder did not speak up to stop them, it means he tacitly approved of their actions!
"You damned mongrel! How dare you use such despicable means to bewitch the Crown Prince?!"
The young martial god flew into a rage, his spiritual energy roaring like a wild beast: "You're declaring war on my Jiang family! You're challenging the bottom line of the entire founding family! Do you even know what heinous crime you've committed?! Kneel down and kowtow now, and maybe you'll at least get a whole corpse!!"
