Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

Chapter 534: Chapter 532: The Archfiend is Coaxed Silly by His Daughter

Amidst the clouds, the grand ship of the Demonic Domain flew slowly southward.

A gentle breeze stirred, causing the black and red banners to flutter.

In the distance, Spirit Beasts soared slowly across the horizon.

While Celeste Grant and her party were still en route, Nerida had already sent someone ahead to Silvanis with a formal notice explaining the purpose of their visit. Thus, their group slowed its pace, in no great hurry to arrive. Aeron, however, had gone on ahead to inform his parents that the Sovereign Lord and his wife from the Demonic Domain were coming in person to propose marriage, telling them to make the necessary preparations.

Although Silvanis was an Empyrea in the borderlands, they could not neglect the proper etiquette for receiving guests. This was especially true for visitors from a major power like the Demonic Domain.

The sun slowly climbed higher in the sky.

By late morning, the party finally arrived in the southern lands of Grendale.

「Within the borders of Silvanis」

A barrier enveloped the nation, leaving only a single point of entry and exit: the Transfer Passage that Javier Sinclair had created before.

Upon their arrival, a Void Channel slowly materialized in the air. The grand ship from the Demonic Domain, along with the accompanying Demon Cultivators, immediately entered the channel and vanished. When they reappeared, they were already in the skies above Silvanis.

The ship from the Demonic Domain came to a halt above the Imperial City, a sight witnessed by countless citizens of Silvanis. The local Cultivators were all curious, wondering what was happening.

The Cultivators in the city looked up, unable to stop themselves from gathering to discuss the sight.

"Who are they?"

"I don’t know."

"That black aura is Demonic Qi. They don’t look like they’re from the Righteous Path."

"Shh, keep your voice down! You can tell with one look that they aren’t Cultivators from Silvanis. Don’t run your mouth. We don’t know what’s happening, and if you accidentally provoke them, you won’t even know what hit you."

"Their auras are so strong... I feel like I can’t even move my legs."

’So it’s true. When you face someone truly powerful, your legs won’t obey you even when you want to run.’

「On the Sparring Ground of the Imperial Palace」

A group of people stood waiting.

At the forefront stood the Empress and the Queen, with Aeron, who had returned earlier, by their side. He had come back ahead of time to give his parents a chance to prepare themselves.

As it turned out, this had been absolutely necessary. They were still rather overwhelmed by the honor of learning that the Sovereign Lord and his wife from the Demonic Domain were coming to propose marriage in person. Forget a small, remote place like Silvanis; even the great Cultivator Dynasties likely wouldn’t receive such an honor.

"We welcome the Sovereign Lord and his wife to Silvanis."

"Your esteemed presence brings light to Silvanis."

「Aboard the ship」

Standing on the deck, Celeste Grant gazed down below. Her eyes fell precisely on the Empress, who was clad in bright yellow robes. She was a middle-aged woman, her features not particularly striking, but dignified and radiating an air of prosperity.

"Your Majesty, there is no need for such ceremony."

Her voice, gentle yet firm, carried clearly to everyone’s ears. Celeste Grant saw the Empress clasp her hands in a formal salute, a genuine smile on her face that showed they were truly welcome.

’Any ruler who can govern a country well and ensure their people live in peace is a good ruler. As such, she deserves respect.’

She glanced at Javier Sinclair beside her and said softly, "Let’s go down, dear. And you can carry our daughter."

Javier Sinclair nodded slightly. He turned his head, a gentle look in his eyes as he watched his daughter, who was busy patting a large goose’s head. He walked over and stopped in front of her.

Seeing him approach, little Elise Sinclair looked up at him.

"Daddy, Daddy."

He stroked his daughter’s head.

"Come, let Daddy hold you." The words had barely left Javier Sinclair’s mouth when his daughter stretched her little hands toward him. He chuckled softly, scooping her up and settling her on his right arm, holding her with just one hand.

Little Elise Sinclair seemed long accustomed to being held this way by her father. She swung her little legs and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Daddy, have I gotten fat? Are you tired from holding me?"

’Gotten fat?’ Hearing her question, Javier Sinclair looked down at his daughter. He smiled faintly and whispered, "You have. Daddy can barely hold you anymore."

The little girl gasped. She held up her hand, staring at it. "Huh? I’m fat? Have I been eating too much?"

Javier Sinclair chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Daddy was just teasing you," he whispered. "My sweet girl isn’t fat. And even if you were, you’d still be the most beautiful."

The little girl put a hand on her hip and huffed. "You still think I’m fat, Daddy. You’re mean."

Javier Sinclair quickly tried to save himself. "Not fat at all! Daddy’s little princess is perfect just the way she is. I love your round little cheeks the most."

"I love you the most too, Daddy."

The little girl’s sweet words coaxed a smile onto the Archfiend’s lips, leaving him completely charmed. He was clearly destined to dote on his daughter for the rest of his life.

Celeste Grant came over and gently pinched her daughter’s cheek. "Ellie, you love Daddy the most? So you don’t love Mommy anymore? Oh, I’m so miserable! My little girl doesn’t like me anymore, she doesn’t love me! I’m going to bawl my eyes out. I’m running away from home! SOB SOB SOB."

As she spoke, Celeste Grant covered her eyes with her hands, deliberately teasing the girl.

The little girl quickly reached out her hands toward her.

"No, no, that’s not true! I love you the most too, Mommy!" She leaned over and kissed Celeste Grant’s cheek. "Mommy, your baby loves you the most! You’re my heart and soul. With you, your baby is warm through all four seasons! You ask me how deep my love runs, how much I love you..."

Little Elise Sinclair launched right into song. It was obvious she was in high spirits. The moment she started singing, the Demon Cultivators on deck couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

The little girl grew a bit embarrassed. She looked at the Demon Cultivators and issued a command. "No laughing! Every one of you, turn around! Haven’t you ever seen a daughter trying to cheer up her mommy? You’re all just jealous."

"Yes, Young Venerable."

The Demon Cultivators turned around, trying to stifle their laughter. ’Our Young Venerable is so adorable,’ they thought.

Seeing this adorable side of her daughter, Celeste Grant couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "Ellie, how can you be so cute? My precious baby. You’re such a clever little imp. You’re the one who truly keeps this momma warm all year round."

’When she’s being a pain, she can really make your blood pressure spike. But when she’s this cute, all you want to do is shower her with hugs and kisses.’

While they were talking, Celeste Grant and her party had already landed on the ground.

Javier Sinclair stood holding their daughter in one arm, with Celeste Grant by his side. Elder Sawyer and his family were on her left, while Nerida and two other elders from the Demonic Domain were on Javier Sinclair’s right.

The two parties exchanged a few pleasantries upon meeting.

"Greetings, Sovereign Lord. Greetings, my lady."

"Your Majesty is too kind. We hope our sudden visit is not an intrusion."

"How could it be an intrusion? It is our honor that you’ve graced Silvanis with your presence. You and your esteemed entourage have traveled a long way. The journey must have been arduous."

Celeste Grant and her party were personally received by Aeron’s family.

After a short rest and some tea.
