The words "awaiting childbirth" were like a thunderclap on a clear day, the wine glass in Zhan Hen's hand fell with a "clang" onto the table.
The colorful wine spilled all over the floor.
The demon generals present heard this and stepped forward to congratulate Emperor Zhan Hen.
"Congratulations to the Demon Emperor, double happiness indeed."
"The Demon Empress is pregnant, and the unification of South Nether City with the Demon World is truly a great joy."
The cacophony of blessings lingered around Emperor Zhan Hen's ears, like heavy hammers that made his chest tight and short of breath, with a surge of anger trapped in his chest, unable to ascend or descend.
"I'm feeling unwell, Tiger-striped Cat, you stay and drink and celebrate with the generals on my behalf."
Zhan Hen stood up, almost numb.
"You, follow me. I have something to ask you."
The maid trembled as she followed Zhan Hen out.
