Two little birds perched on a rock not far from the cave entrance, and their eyes kept on Tian Qilian, who was busy rubbing her big belly. After a while, they flew back to their two comrades' locations and returned to their human forms.
"How did it go?" the first man asked.
The first woman answered him. "Tian Qilian is pregnant right now and will give birth soon."
"What?" The two men exclaimed in shock, and the second man asked to be sure. "Is it true that Tian Qilian is pregnant?"
"Yes." The second woman answered with a nod. "We saw her with our own eyes, and her belly is already so big. According to my calculations, she will be in labor in less than two weeks."
"Ha ha!" The first man laughed. "If we can successfully capture them, the master will reward us some good pills later."
The three comrades nodded in agreement, they knew that Zi Guang had been hunting Tian Qilian for years for her beast core, but she could always escape them. However, since she is currently pregnant, her situation is very different, and they believe that she will not be able to escape again.
Before long, Zi Guang had arrived at their location, and they immediately reported their discovery to him.
Zi Guang was stunned for a moment after hearing them, but he laughed in satisfaction. "Haha! I really didn't expect luck to be on my side! Not only did I manage to find that damn woman, but she's also pregnant now. After I successfully capture her, I'll take her beast core and raise her child to take the child core in the future."
The four of his men shuddered upon hearing that; they felt that Zi Guang was too ruthless; he had even planned such a thing against Tian Qilian's child.
Suddenly, they saw Tian Hu and several elders flying into Tian Qilian's cave, and Zi Guang signaled his people. "Let's go! We must act quickly before the golden-haired woman returns, I will fight Tian Hu, and you can take on those elders."
After saying that, Zi Guang flew toward Tian Qilian's cave, and the four people followed behind him.

"That purple-haired man is truly ruthless! Not only does he want to capture Tian Qilian, but he has also planned such a thing for her child." Yu Yunzhi said in anger. Although Xia Tian had never treated her well, she didn't want anything to happen to his child. "Are we not going to stop them now, Master?"
Fan Ying shook her head and sighed. "Sigh, we'll see the situation first. If Tian Hu and those elders can't stop them, I will help them."
"I see." Yu Yunzhi nodded in understanding, and she continued to observe them.

Tian Hu and the elders, who had just entered Tian Qilian's cave, raised their eyebrows. They then looked toward the cave's exit and were shocked to see the presence of Zi Guang and his men.
Even Tian Qilian was shocked by their sudden presence, causing her face to turn deathly pale, especially since she was in an unstable state due to her pregnancy and couldn't escape. 'Shit! Why did they have to appear now! If they show up after I give birth, I can ask Shiyun to bring my child to Xia Tian!'
Unlike Tian Qilian and the others, He Shiyun stood in front of her in a relaxed manner, especially since she knew that Fan Ying was protecting them. 'But where is she now? Why did she let them come here? I think she'll just kill them as usual.'
"Hehehe, are you surprised to see me, Tian Hu?" Zi Guang asked with an evil smile; he then glanced at Tian Qilian. "What a stroke of luck! I will capture you today."
"Zi Guang!" Tian Hu gritted his teeth and prepared to face him.
Suddenly, Zi Guang threw a bole at them, and it immediately exploded.
*boom*
Red smoke covered the area, Tian Hu and the others felt something strange on their bodies, and they immediately enveloped them with energy.
"Block them! Don't let them in!" Tian Hu shouted as he dashed towards his daughter.
"Pathetic!" Zi Guang sneered and released his energy, his men also did the same, and they directly attacked the elders.
However, those elders were affected by the effects of the red smoke, they were helpless in front of Zi Guang and the others.
Soon, the elders lay helpless on the ground; Zi Guang immediately led his men to face Tian Hu, Tian Qilian, and He Shiyun.
"Hehe, you guys won't be able to escape from us now." Zi Guang spoke as he smiled triumphantly.
'Damn it!' Tian Hu himself felt his body weaken from the effect of the red smoke earlier, but he still tried to stand straight. "Zi Guang! I will definitely kill you today!"
"Is that so? You have been affected by my potion. Do you think you can fight me?" Zi Guang walked towards him with a relaxed smile as he took out his purple spear. "Quickly! Capture the two women."
"Shiyun! Take Qilian away from this place right now!" Tian Hu shouted as he dashed toward Zi Guang
However, He Shiyun didn't move and turned to Tian Qilian. "Young miss, you can rest easy; nothing will happen to you."
Tian Qilian looked at her in confusion, she felt desperate about their situation, but He Shiyun still looked calm. "What-"
*Zing*
Just as Zi Guang and Tian Hu were about to fight, Fan Ying appeared in their midst and stopped their weapons with her bare hands.
Zi Guang and his men were stunned to see Fan Ying's beauty, her beautiful long golden hair, and even her pointed ears.
"Elf Race?" Tian Hu and Tian Qilian immediately recognized her race.
"Sister Ying!" He Shiyun exclaimed joyfully upon seeing Fan Ying appear; she then sat beside Tian Qilian and hugged her. "See? I told you nothing would happen to you, young miss."
Tian Qilian did not respond to He Shiyun, and she continued to stare at Fan Ying in awe, especially since she could feel that she was much stronger than her.
As Zi Guang and his men returned to their senses, they were shocked to feel their bodies unable to move, although they did not feel any movement of energy from Fan Ying's body.

Soon, Yu Yunzhi appeared before them, passing a pill to Tian Qilian. "You can swallow it right now; this pill can stabilize your condition. You don't have to be afraid of me harming you; we are both Xia Tian's women."
Hearing that, Tian Qilian nodded and swallowed the pill. She turned to He Shiyun and asked. "Who is she? Have you known of her presence for a long time?"
"I have known about her presence for a long time, young miss." He Shiyun replied with a nod. "Her name is Fan Ying, and she is the little sister of the Elf Queen, who is also one of the master's women. With her presence here, you will definitely be safe."
Tian Yu, who heard He Shiyun's words, sighed in relief. 'Sigh! I didn't expect that there was a cultivator from the elf race protecting my daughter, but this is really good because she will be fine now.'
However, Zi Guang frowned and shouted at Fan Yingying. "Why are you meddling in my business?"
"Frankly speaking, I don't like killing humans. But if you dare to talk to me again like that, then I will kill you right now," Fan Ying spoke with a gentle smile, but those who heard her knew that she wasn't t joking with her words. "Honestly, I don't want to meddle in your business, but this woman's situation is complicated. However, I'm not doing this for her sake alone, but for all the inhabitants of this Seven-Star World. If something bad happens to her, this world will disappear, and billions of lives will be lost."
Not only were Zi Guang and his followers shocked, but even Tian Yu and Tian Qilian were shocked by Fan Ying's words.
"Humph! That must be just your gibberish!" Zi Guang sneered. "I don't believe-"
*Roar*
Before Zi Guang could finish his words, a loud dragon's roar filled with fury could be heard clearly in their ears.
*Bam*
The top of the cave suddenly exploded, Fan Ying waved her hand and made protection for Tian Hu and the others, but she ignored Zi Guang and his subordinates.
They all looked up, and a giant golden dragon appeared above the cave, and its eyes fell on Tian Qilian. The dragon wrapped its tail gently around her, lifted her up, and placed her on its giant head.
Above the dragon's head, several other women were looking at Tian Qilian with a smile. Liu Ying then walked over to her and grabbed her hands. "After a long time, I finally met you, Qilian."
"Hmm?" Tian Qilian looked at Liu Ying in confusion, and she glanced at the other women.
Zhu Yuhe chuckled, seeing her reaction. "Qilian, you don't need to be confused about us. She is Liu Ying, Xia Tian's mother, and we are his women."
