In a high-level martial arts game, a wife is given to you at the start.

Chapter 809 A Monumental Lie

Galaxy 0751 once belonged to Qi Xiangqian's villa complex.

Jiang Yulan sat on a large wooden chair with flowing cloud patterns, wearing an extremely large light purple silk robe that cleverly concealed her already very noticeable protruding belly.

Although her face still bore a trace of lingering blush, the moment she activated the communication screen, the cold arrogance that belonged to the fifth elder of the founding family instantly returned to her face.

"Buzz—"

The light screen flickered, and the majestic and aged face of the Jiang family's eldest elder appeared.

"Yu Lan, you've had a tough year." The First Elder's voice was steady, carrying an undeniable concern. "The family has seen all the news you sent back. Is that Lin Qiye really as you described?"

Jiang Yulan took a deep breath, trying to calm her heart, which was pounding wildly as she saw Lin Qiye walk into the room.

She looked directly at the Grand Elder, her tone flat with just the right amount of disdain:

"Indeed, Elder. Although Lin Qiye has had some fortuitous encounters, he doesn't know how to truly utilize them. His so-called 'Spark Project' is nothing more than using massive resources to create a group of descendants with no foundation, attempting to use quantity to cause a qualitative change."

At this point, Jiang Yulan lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the hint of guilt in them:

"I've spent the past year infiltrating the area with the female warriors of the clan, and we've basically figured out his methods. As long as the time is right, the clan can close in and take over all his achievements."

The Grand Elder let out a satisfied laugh after hearing this.

"Good! Well done! Yulan, you have rendered a great service to the family this time. Now that you have infiltrated the core, there is no need to risk going any further. You will stay there with those thousand elite soldiers, acting as the family's spies, firmly anchored to its greatest weakness!"

"When our Jiang family's interstellar war god ancestors return from the battlefield, that will be Lin Qiye's death day, and also the day our Jiang family rises to prominence!"

Upon hearing the words "Star Wars God," Jiang Yulan's previously steady breathing suddenly faltered.

She blurted it out almost instinctively, her voice trembling with an extremely uncontrolled intensity:

"When?! When will the ancestors...when will they return?!"

Upon hearing this, the First Elder, who had previously looked pleased, frowned sharply. His cloudy yet sharp eyes fixed on Jiang Yulan on the light screen, and his tone became somewhat low:

"Yulan, what's wrong? Why are you so agitated? This isn't like you at all."

Jiang Yulan broke out in a cold sweat instantly, her silk robe on her back almost completely soaked through.

She could even sense that Lin Qiye, sitting in the shadows to the side, was looking at her with a mocking gaze, as if admiring prey struggling desperately in a trap.

Her mind raced in that instant, forcibly suppressing the extreme fear in her heart of "Lin Qiye being purged after the return of the family patriarch" and "her own shameful deeds being exposed."

She took a deep breath, her face quickly transforming into a look of gritted teeth and resentment, her voice sharp and tinged with a hint of desolation:

"Elder, you ask me why I'm in such a hurry?!"

Jiang Yulan's phoenix eyes instantly filled with tears of grievance; her acting was simply natural.

"I asked you when you'd be back because I wanted to know how long this dark, covert infiltration would have to continue!!"

The elder looked at Jiang Yulan, who was trembling with anger and tears streaming down her face, on the screen. His doubts vanished instantly, replaced by deep guilt and pity.

"Sigh... Yulan, it's the family that's made things difficult for you."

The Grand Elder sighed, his tone softening:

"Although the front lines are currently under control, several elders are tied down and unable to leave for the time being. The specific date of their return is still uncertain, but we believe it will be soon, within three to five years at the shortest, and ten to eight years at the longest."

"Be patient a little longer. Remember, you're not just doing this for yourself, but for the future of the entire Jiang family! When the patriarch returns, you'll definitely have made the greatest contribution!"

Upon hearing the words "not yet certain" and "ten or eight years," Jiang Yulan felt a sudden and inexplicable sense of relief.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, bowed slightly to the light screen, and her voice regained its usual coolness and firmness:

"Yes. Yu Lan... understands. For the sake of the family, I will continue to endure."

The light curtain slowly dimmed.

The moment the last signal was cut off, Jiang Yulan collapsed onto the wooden chair as if she had lost all her strength, gasping for breath.

A warm and strong hand slowly climbed up her beautifully curved neck, then gently slid down and rested on her protruding belly.

Lin Qiye's mocking and teasing voice echoed softly in her ear:

"Fifth Elder, your acting was so convincing... I almost believed it myself. To stay by my side, you even went so far as to deceive the family's First Elder. If this gets out..."

Jiang Yulan bit her red lips tightly, turned her head and stared intently at Lin Qiye, her eyes filled with an extremely complex mix of shame and indignation, and a kind of resigned dejection:

"You've won... Lin Qiye. There's no going back now. But remember... you promised me, you'd give me divine resources, plenty of divine resources..."

Inside the luxurious yet tranquil bedroom, the incense smoke from the censer swirled in the air.

Lin Qiye withdrew his hand from Jiang Yulan's abdomen, looking at her pretty face, which was flushed red with a mixture of shame, indignation, despair, and longing, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't worry, Fifth Elder."

Lin Qiye leaned down gently and breathed warm air into her ear, his voice deep and magnetic: "Didn't I say? Wait three more months... After three months, I will give you everything you want, including the divine source you've been dreaming of."

"Three months..."

Jiang Yulan's delicate body trembled violently, and a complex look of fear flashed in her phoenix eyes.

Although she is a high-level martial god who is devoted to martial arts, how could her instinctive calculations be wrong?

Three months later, it will be the day when those little ones with domineering bloodlines in her womb are fully formed and about to be born!

"You...you..."

Jiang Yulan bit her red lips tightly, and her eyes welled up with tears again due to extreme shame.

"You have me completely under your thumb..."

Jiang Yulan closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid down her cheeks. She knew that she would probably never be able to return to the position of the cold and ruthless fifth elder of the Jiang family in this lifetime.

……

Meanwhile, in the main star region, in the Jiang Family No. 1 star system, at the Jiang Family Building.

The First Elder, Jiang Tianheng, fell into a long silence.

Although Jiang Yulan's explanation sounded flawless, even carrying a tragic sense of enduring humiliation for the sake of the family, Jiang Tianheng, an old fox who had lived for thousands of years, still felt a thorn in his heart.

Something's not right.

The elder stood up, walked to the huge holographic star map, and gently traced his finger across the remote 075 star sector.

"Although Jiang Yulan has a strong personality, her reaction when the ancestor's return was mentioned... didn't seem like eagerness, but rather like some kind of fear from the depths of her soul."

"Moreover, not a single one of the thousand accompanying female warriors has sent back any private complaints about their personal lives over the past year. This is practically an impossible miracle for those pampered young ladies!"

An utterly absurd thought, one that even sent chills down his spine, flashed through his mind...
