The Demon Venerable is ruthless and infamous.
The Immortal Lord is as aloof as snow, with the greater good at heart.
Yet on the night the demonic sect's army launched its seventeenth assault on the immortal sect's stronghold, an accident led the Demon Venerable to spend a night of passion with his nemesis, who was not in his right mind.
Afterward, the Demon Venerable clutched his aching waist in fury. Unable to kill the man, he could only erase the Immortal Lord's memories.
The Great Demon: No one must ever find out that I was the one on the bottom!
But soon, the Demon Venerable was astonished to discover that he was not only tired and weak, with his inner power fading, but that his belly was growing bigger by the day!
The Great Demon: ?? You bastard! My defeated opponent! Ugh... I'll tear you limb from limb... Ugh, ugh...

Destroying the world is easy, but carrying a baby seems hard.
After being tormented until he could not sleep all night for the thousand and first time, the Demon Venerable stormed into the immortal sect, ready to finish off the culprit. Unexpectedly, his vision went black and he fell into his nemesis's arms.
From then on, the Demon Venerable made an unexpected discovery: as long as he stayed close to the baby's father, he could not only calm the baby down when it kicked and squirmed, but also recover his inner power.
The mighty Demon King made the humiliating decision to spare the man's life for three more days, all for the sake of his grand ambitions!
Day one: The Demon Venerable pretended to fall and grabbed his nemesis's sleeve, placing his hand against his dantian.
One-day inner-power recovery card, acquired.
Day two: While his nemesis was distracted, the Demon Venerable stole his outer robe and hid it in bed.
One-day baby-calming card, acquired.
Day three: The Demon Venerable suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen and staggered into his nemesis's bedroom, only to be abruptly pulled into his arms.
In the hazy night, the Immortal Lord, clad in robes as white as snow, leaned in and kissed the Demon Venerable's brow, slick with cold sweat.
“Want this? Hmm?”
The Great Demon: ??
The Great Demon: You lecher!

Everyone in the cultivation world knew that Jing Yu, the Immortal Lord of Chongzheng Sect, was aloof and dignified. His immaculate, icy, and pure body of the Unfeeling Dao kept demons and evil creatures at a safe distance.
But no one knew that the reserved Immortal Lord, who always followed the rules, kept a portrait hidden in his room.
Again and again, the white-robed Immortal Lord trembled as he brushed his fingers over the bold eyes and brows of the person in the painting. Beneath his usually gentle gaze, dark currents surged.
Later, the Immortal Lord gazed at the person he had longed for, his eyes dark, and cornered the pale-faced Demon Venerable at the foot of the bed.
“Whose child is it, hmm?”
“It's not yours, anyway! Bastard! Have you no shame? Mmph...”
The Immortal Lord curled his lips into a smile and gently laid a hand on the Demon Venerable's round pregnant belly, though his voice trembled slightly.
“Is that so? Then why don't you try harder and carry another one for me?”
I seek no fame or fortune, only the return of an old friend.
“Fortunately, I can still wait for you.”
