Chapter 415 Zhou Zhiruo Gives Birth
The meeting of the three women was very harmonious. After all, they had no conflicts or power struggles, so there was no unpleasantness between them. On the contrary, in order to leave a better impression on Gu Yuchuan, they even took the initiative to show their kindness and gentleness.
Gu Yuchuan stepped forward at this moment: "Alright, you sisters can put your reminiscing aside for now. The most important thing now is to take down the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm. Let's go, let's get ready to go."
Zhou Zhiruo also summoned her own team, a hundred people in total. From the two worlds, she gathered a total of two hundred cultivators. This was definitely too few for a small world, but since the Crimson Flame Demon Realm had been almost completely wiped out, two hundred was just right.
If the number of people is too large, it will not be conducive to them gaining military merits. This number is the best. Gu Yuchuan is very satisfied with this number.
This time, neither Gu Yuchuan nor Zhou Zhiruo went in. After all, there were no Nascent Soul stage cultivators left. Zhang Sanfeng was enough to oversee things. They could deal with the Heavenly Dao Essence and World Essence after all the ghosts were dead.
This process should take some time, since the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm is much larger than the Heavenly Realm. If they really hide, they will not be easy to find. It will require careful investigation little by little.
Fortunately, Gu Yuchuan has been spending these days with Zhou Zhiruo, who is pregnant. He hasn't been able to spend much time with her, which is definitely not good for either Zhou Zhiruo or the baby.
Gu Yuchuan was determined to be a good emperor, not only in terms of political achievements, but also in the harem, where he wanted to be a good husband and a good father. And he had been working hard toward this goal.
He valued each of his children, regardless of their abilities, and wouldn't allow his subordinates to be indifferent to them. He would also try his best to spend more time with them, because relationships can only grow rapidly through companionship.
As for his wives and concubines, he tried his best to treat them equally. Although he currently has only four consorts in total, and Zhou Zhiruo is often away from home, leaving only three at home, he still manages the situation very well.
Although it's impossible for concubines to be naturally friendly, at least their relationship wasn't so sordid, and they were able to maintain a basic level of friendliness, which is a good thing.
Asking them to be as close as sisters is indeed a bit difficult. They are not rivals in love, but political rivals. There is room for reconciliation between rivals in love, but there is absolutely no room for reconciliation between political rivals.
These were the happiest days for Zhou Zhiruo. Every day, her husband was with her, and she could feel the strength of the child in her womb. She couldn't help but start to look forward to her future.
She believed that she would definitely become a Nascent Soul cultivator, and that the Heavenly Realm could become a Lesser Thousand World. At that time, the status of a Lesser Thousand World Lord would be vastly different from her current status.
They were enjoying their time together, but the cultivators in the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm were not so happy.
It wasn't that their actions were hindered; quite the opposite, the Crimson Flame Ghost Realm was practically devoid of Golden Core cultivators. Once they found a ghost, they could easily kill it.
However, the problem remains: ghosts hide very well, since their forms can become ethereal. When they hide deep underground or in remote mountains and forests, finding them is extremely difficult.
Furthermore, this is the Ghost Realm, filled with demonic and ghostly energy. These turbid substances are instinctively repulsive to cultivators of the immortal path.
The crimson moon in the sky shone with boundless red light, which was filled with a suppressive aura. After staying there for a long time, the cultivators all felt somewhat uncomfortable.
It was Zhang Sanfeng who discovered the problem: many cultivators felt that their mental state was somewhat affected, and the most serious cases were even among the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace.
Although the aquatic creatures of the Dragon Palace are generally much stronger in terms of combat power at the same level, they are essentially still demons. As demons, they have a problem: their bloodline contains ferocity.
This is something ingrained in their bloodline, and there's nothing they can do about it. This ferocity is a characteristic of the demon race, but in this environment, it's even easier to unleash this ferocity, causing problems with their mental state.
Fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng discovered it in time and immediately took remedial measures, refining two hundred Tai Chi talismans. These items can effectively prevent cultivators from being affected by ghostly energy.
In this way, a major hurdle for the cultivators was completely resolved, and Zhang Sanfeng's prestige became even greater.
This made Abbess Miejue a little unhappy, and even a little worried.
In the past, Zhang Sanfeng had unparalleled prestige in the world of Yitian. Among ordinary people and the vast majority of martial arts practitioners, his prestige was even higher than that of the emperor.
But the current emperor is her disciple, and she can't help but worry about him. Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation is now quite advanced, and he has even done such good deeds, earning everyone's respect. Will this have an impact on her disciple?
She hesitated for a while, then suddenly remembered the Dragon God. How could she have forgotten about this? Her disciple wasn't just herself; the Dragon God was also behind her. No matter how powerful Zhang Sanfeng was, the gap between him and the Dragon God was too great.
She cheered up and continued her search for ghosts.
Two months passed quickly. One day, while Zhou Zhiruo was reading, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen; she was about to give birth.
She suddenly felt a sense of fear. Although she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, this was her first time giving birth. She had heard many women say that the process of childbirth was very difficult.
Gu Yuchuan rushed over quickly, bringing several midwives with him. Seeing her expression, Gu Yuchuan understood what his wife was thinking.
"Zhiruo, you are a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. You are basically unaware of the pain of childbirth. Don't worry, you will have a smooth delivery. Midwife, please help Your Majesty deliver the baby."
Several midwives wanted to bow, but Gu Yuchuan stopped them. What time is it to bow?
Zhou Zhiruo held Gu Yuchuan's hand, and her emotions calmed down considerably.
"Thank you, my husband. Please go out. The delivery room is bloody, and I don't want you to see me looking unattractive."
Gu Yuchuan didn't care about any of that, but Zhou Zhiruo didn't want to be seen in such a disheveled state, so he went out anyway.
However, he was also very anxious. This was the offspring of his legal wife, and a powerful being at the Nascent Soul stage. It must be an extremely powerful offspring. Of course, even if it wasn't powerful, he would still love it.
