Quick Transmigration: The Rise of a Favored Concubine

Chapter 169 Demon Lord × Flower Fairy 7

Demon Moon Festival

This was the first time Luo Li had officially presided over a palace banquet in the name of Queen since arriving in the Demon Realm.

For the past two months, Prince Yuan has barely paid any attention to her, and she has been turned away every time she requests an audience.

She had no interest in managing the affairs of the Demon Palace and only wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Abyss King. However, things didn't go as planned, and as the Demon Queen, she was not close to the Demon Lord.

But now, she wants to take this opportunity to let the Abyss King see her good qualities. The Demon Realm is the one that the Demon Realm should befriend, and she is naturally the most suitable Demon Queen for him.

The Demon Realm is perpetually dark, especially at night. The moonlight in the Demon Realm is not as bright as in other places; although it is bright, it is mixed with a blood-red light.

Peony felt a chill run down her spine. She took a deep breath and sat down. She figured she'd never feel comfortable in this place, no matter how long she stayed. Sigh.

As the night grew later, King Yuan arrived amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

On important days in the Demon Realm, he still wore the same black robe as always, with the same icy face, and his aloof attitude inspired fear.

Luo Li spoke first: "Today is the Demon Moon Festival, the most important day in the Demon Realm. I have been preparing for this for a long time. King Yuan, are you satisfied?"

Mo Yuan sat down lazily, not answering her, but tapping the armrest of the chair with his knuckles, and said in a deep voice, "Let's begin."

The demons raised their cups and murmured to the Demon Moon for a while before putting down their cups.

Peony didn't understand any of this and could only watch helplessly.

Luo Li had intended to make the Abyss King think that he valued the Demon Realm, but he didn't even glance at her. She was slightly taken aback, but still spoke up again: "Luo Li has also prepared some fine wine. Please, Abyss King, have a taste."

As the palace banquet began, conversations could be heard from time to time.

Mo Yuan took the wine she offered and drank it all in one gulp.

Luo Li finally smiled and filled his cup again.

Mo Yuan glanced at Mudan without leaving a trace. The woman was staring at the pastries in front of her, as if she really liked them.

She's been back in the Phantom Palace for a few days now. He'd gotten used to living in the Demon God's Temple, but now that she's back, he hasn't seen her come over.

According to Mo Ye, he went to fuss over those flowers again.

Are flowers really that important?

Thinking this, Mo Yuan drank a few more cups.

Luo Li was secretly pleased, finally satisfying the Prince of Yuan, and all her hard work in managing the palace these past few days had not been in vain.

Desiring to impress the Prince of Yuan, she watched him drink several cups in a row, then tried to tug at his sleeve and said softly, "Prince Yuan, Luo Li is not greedy, but please don't keep rejecting Luo Li from afar, okay?"

"Could you keep Luo Li company tonight?"

If it were someone else's legal wife, she wouldn't make such a humble request.

Her mother would never do that, and her father always obeyed her every whim.

But Prince Keyuan was no ordinary person, and she thought that if she humbled herself, she wouldn't do anything.

Mo Yuan frowned slightly, not taking her words to heart: "Tonight is the Demon Moon Festival, and I have things to attend to."

It's always the same: something's up, something's up!

Every time she came to her, something happened. Luo Li almost lost her composure. She took a breath and tried to appear weak to gain the Yuan King's pity: "Luo Li didn't want to ruin the Demon Moon Festival, she just wanted to..."

"No need to say more." Mo Yuan waved her hand away and got up to leave.

But then they heard a commotion coming from the direction of Consort Dan.

Peony looked at the pastries on the table and thought they looked nice. She wanted to try them, but as soon as she put one in her mouth, a wave of nausea hit her stomach. It came so suddenly that she couldn't hold it in and could only turn her head away and vomit at the table.

"What's going on!" Mo Yuan strode over and asked.

Haitang and Taohua were also puzzled, "This servant doesn't know... Consort Dan suddenly felt unwell..."

Peony was vomiting so badly that her face turned pale.

Mo Yuan picked her up and carried her back to the Demon God's Palace.

The banquet quieted down, and Luo Li's face darkened. A bad feeling welled up in her heart: was Consort Dan pregnant?

She remembered that once her mother was vomiting badly, and her father summoned a doctor to take a look. The doctor found that her mother was pregnant, but her mother's health had been poor since giving birth to her, and she could not have another child. Her father and mother had to painfully abort the child.

Danfei's symptoms just now were very similar.

But when did she...?

Luo Li's eyes were sinister, which was why Dan Fei had stayed in the Demon God Palace some time ago and had already clashed with Yuan Wang...

hateful!

Inside the Demon God's Palace, the Demon Physician was taking her pulse. Peony still couldn't help feeling nauseous. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, barely suppressing the nausea in her heart, and her face looked terrible.

"How is it?" Mo Yuan frowned. Could it be that something went wrong at the palace banquet?

The Demon Physician was slightly surprised. He withdrew his hand and replied, "Your Highness... Consort Dan... is pregnant."

The stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the hall fell silent instantly.

"What did you say?" Mo Yuan asked in surprise.

"Consort Dan is pregnant; she's been pregnant for over a month," the Demon Physician replied once again.

Mo Yuan felt a surge of joy rising from his chest, making him unable to stop himself from smiling.

What does it mean that Consort Dan is pregnant?

This means that his demon realm has a successor. He had never thought about this issue before, but he had always felt lonely over the past ten thousand years and gradually became greedy.

It all started when he decided to form a marriage alliance with the Flower Realm. From the moment she appeared, Consort Dan was different from everyone else.

She was able to conceive his child in just one instance; Consort Dan... she was so special.

Peony was so surprised she forgot to vomit. She gently covered her stomach, her beautiful eyes wide with astonishment: "I...I'm pregnant?"

"Indeed, Consort Dan," the Demon Physician replied patiently. He hadn't expected this outcome either. It was difficult for ordinary people to conceive the Demon Lord's offspring, yet Consort Dan was able to become pregnant so quickly.

"only……"

"But what?" Mo Yuan and Mu Dan were immersed in joy, but upon hearing what the Demon Doctor said, a bad premonition welled up in their hearts.

"Danfei was originally a flower fairy. If she had taken the Demon-Suppressing Pill from the beginning, there would have been no problem with her conceiving the Demon Lord's offspring. But now, it is clear that Danfei became pregnant before she took the Demon-Suppressing Pill."

“This child cannot be kept, otherwise it will harm Consort Dan’s body and cause her death.”

After the demon doctor finished speaking, he knelt down, afraid to breathe loudly.

Mo Yuan's face turned extremely ugly as his joy was suddenly dampened by the cold water poured on him. He looked at Dan Fei, whose face was as pale as paper and who was about to collapse.

He panicked and stepped forward to support her.

"Is there... a way?" Peony looked at the Demon Doctor with hopeful eyes.

"It's already difficult for a demon lord's child to conceive in an ordinary body. Danfei's special constitution is what allowed her to become pregnant. However, the demonic energy is powerful. If she were to force a pregnancy, I'm afraid..."

The demonic doctor hesitated, not daring to finish speaking.

"Lord Yuan...no, save him..." Peony was terrified and pleaded with Mo Yuan, her voice choked with sobs, "Save him..."

Mo Yuan closed his eyes in agony. This was also his child. It was completely unexpected; the joy he had just felt was still lingering in his heart before he was subjected to this agonizing torture. But…

“There will be more, health is the most important thing…” Mo Yuan said hoarsely, “Just listen to the Demon Doctor.”

Peony looked at him in disbelief: "This is also your child, why are you so heartless?"

"I don't want to... I want to keep him..."
