He whispered teasingly and recklessly in her ear, "The old man hopes you’ll move back into my room so you can get pregnant faster, and then you’ll be begging me to marry you."

Pregnant?

Her ears burned red, what was he talking about, her protection was very thorough, absolutely foolproof, there was no way that man’s... seed would have a chance to take root.

"What nonsense is the old man talking about, I certainly won’t..."

The little one’s red-faced look was cute and charming, her fair ears almost transparent with redness, her eyelashes fluttering, utterly irresistible.

He didn’t even care that they were still outside, he leaned over the tip of her ear, gave it a nip, sparking a series of hot flashes on her body with nowhere to hide, and ultimately, she was captured into his enveloping embrace.

A man’s deep voice floated to her ear: "Maybe if you got pregnant sooner, you wouldn’t need to wait until graduation."

How could this man break his promise just after making it.

She wouldn’t stand for it, speaking righteously, puckering up her little mouth, "Have you forgotten what you promised just now... the four-year agreement. If you don’t use a condom, I definitely won’t be with you..."

Having said that, her voice ceased, nearly scared to tears by her own words.

What was she saying? Was she inviting him to do that...

His hawk-like eyes burned, he spoke lowly and wickedly, "Even if a condom is used," then pressed against her soft, flat belly, "there might still be one that slips through the net."

She didn’t believe it, were this man’s seeds really that mighty, to even bypass a condom?

Just by looking at his lecherous gaze, she knew he was coaxing a child again.

"Demon Slayer Chronicles" wrapped up and was released worldwide.

Like all of Ye Yongning’s previous movies, this one maintained a consistent quality and was an instant hit overnight.

Especially since this movie was Ye Yongning’s first attempt at an Eastern fantasy style involving gods and demons, it attracted even more attention.

News about "Demon Slayer Chronicles," including characters, plot, behind-the-scenes footage and more, flooded friend circles, Weibo, and major media websites.

And the character of the little Taoist nun unexpectedly became the most noticed, topping the trending topic charts and ranking high in search results.

While the audience generally dislikes tragedies, favoring happy endings instead, it must be said that tragedies touch people’s hearts more than comedies do.

The forbidden love between the little Taoist nun and the Serpent Demon Monarch completely overshadowed the love story between the main characters Hua Yao and the Scholar, leaving many viewers in tears as they left the cinema.

It was predictable that years later, it would become a classic scene etched in the hearts of movie fans.

Some even said that Ye Yongning’s directing didn’t make the main actress famous, but unexpectedly made a star of the supporting actress.

The cast of "Demon Slayer Chronicles," from the leads to the supporting actors, even down to the extras, had their information and backgrounds thoroughly investigated.

What surprised everyone was that there was one supporting character whose background, beyond a bit of official information, could not be uncovered at all.

That was the newcomer Xia Tingxuan, portraying the little Taoist nun.

Besides her stage name, it was only known that this newcomer was starring in a film for the first time and was a student from the performance department of G University.

Going any deeper, there was no more information; not even a personal photo of the actress playing the little Taoist nun could be found.

Some journalists who wanted to keep digging stopped after just a few days. Suddenly, overnight, all were mysteriously silenced, their voices censored by their own superiors, and no further covert investigations continued.

Jiayi understood that it must be Huo Zhenyang who had spoken to the media moguls of the city to silence the journalists.

Every day, as she went to G University, bodyguards secretly protected her, preventing any student fans within G University from getting close.

Moreover, many students in the acting department had already acted in films while still in school, so even after discovering that a classmate was the actress playing the Taoist Nun, despite their initial surprise and envy, they got used to it, and there was no significant disturbance.

Under the Huo Family’s protection, the role of the Taoist Nun, for a time, acquired an even greater aura of mystery, sparking wild speculation on global forums and websites.

The discussions about the Taoist Nun’s acting skills and character took up the majority, while another part was conjecturing about the background of the performer playing the Taoist Nun.

Some said she must be a newcomer with a financial backer, perhaps even a kept mistress.

Others countered that if she was a newcomer being heavily promoted, now that the character of the Taoist Nun was popular, she would certainly be everywhere doing publicity, striking while the iron is hot to become even more famous.

Thus, the conclusion was drawn that the newcomer playing the Taoist Nun was probably the daughter of a wealthy family, treating acting in a movie as a leisure pursuit.

Jiayi had never anticipated that the role of the Taoist Nun would become an overnight sensation.

Although her original intention in filming the movie was not to become instantly famous, becoming known overseas like this was indeed her aim, right?

I wonder if her family, right now, could be in some corner of the world, getting ready to look for her...

Far from the land of China, in Southeast Asia.

Located at the juncture of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the French Island Nation of S Country.

S Country was originally a French colonial nation, with the majority of its citizens of Chinese ancestry. It is also one of the few countries in Southeast Asia that still retains a constitutional monarchy. The Prime Minister manages state affairs, but like Thailand, Brunei, and Cambodia, it still has a Royal Family.

Although the Royal Family of S Country has become somewhat down at heel over recent generations, less illustrious than in the past, it is still an existence that the people of S Country would not dare to defy.

The Capital, Nanga City.

A classical villa with a sense of history stands facing the opulent palace of the S Country Royal Family not far away.

Just by looking at the exterior, one could tell that the inhabitants were not ordinary people.

This is the residence of the Chu Family of S Country.

The Chu Family is a century-old family in S Country, whose eldest son in each generation inherits the title of Duke.

And the current head of the family, Chu Yanhan, a man in his middle years, was already the thirteenth Duke of the Chu Family.

At this moment, within the grand and elegant living room, at the dining table, a woman dressed in luxurious attire with gentle features was reading an international English newspaper while gracefully having her breakfast.

The woman was Chu Yanhan’s wife, Madam Xuan Yu.

The Xuan Family was also a noble family of S Country, serving the Royal Family as the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Although not as prestigious as the Duke of the Chu Family, the Xuan Family was nonetheless a significant presence in S Country.

The marriage between the Chu and Xuan families had made a sensation in S Country back in the day and even attracted a fair amount of international media interest.

Flipping to the entertainment section, the woman’s hand paused, her gaze fixating on the newspaper, and she remained silent for a long while.

The image of a girl dressed as a Taoist Nun was prominently featured on the entertainment page of the paper.

Madam Xuan Yu stood up abruptly, with a hint of panic in her eyes, "Call the young miss here."

The servant hurried off to summon her.

Ten minutes later, a young girl arrived in the living room.

The girl, roughly in her twenties, was dressed in a red gown like a blazing rose, with big eyes, a high bridge nose, and luscious lips. Her features bore a resemblance to Xuan Yu, but her eyebrows and eyes held a touch of arrogance and pride, unmistakably the look of a pampered and spoiled daughter of a rich family.
