Shen Yunzhou (single line) (2)

On a clear morning at Lengyou Peak, the thin mist had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the unique sweet scent of spiritual plants.

Shen Yunzhou carefully helped Fang Li walk slowly in the courtyard, holding a steaming bowl of medicinal food for pregnancy support in one hand, his expression focused.

Even a fallen leaf underfoot must be swept away with sword energy beforehand.

Seeing his alarmed expression, Fang Li couldn't help but chuckle and tugged at his sleeve: "Yunzhou, I'm really fine. It's just being pregnant, not like you're made of glass. Taking a walk to clear your head is good for your health."

Shen Yunzhou's brows were still slightly furrowed as he carefully examined her face. "Don't be careless. You were feeling a bit unwell yesterday morning, and the mountain breeze is chilly today, so you should walk slowly." He insisted on bringing the medicinal food to her lips, and only after watching her take small sips did his expression soften slightly.

Just then!

"Buzz!"

A violent void fluctuation suddenly came from the horizon! The once calm sky was suddenly torn open, and three auras filled with uncontrollable urgency and joy suddenly descended above Cold Nether Peak!

The immense pressure caused the clouds and mist on the mountaintop to surge and disperse.

The leader was none other than Fang Qingyu, the Lord of Liyuan, the usually dignified and imposing Chaos Immortal Venerable. At this moment, his face was full of excitement, and even before he had fully manifested, his booming voice shook the sea of ​​clouds: "Li'er! Where is my Li'er?!"

Yun Zhiruo followed closely behind, her figure as fast as lightning. Almost the instant she landed, she had already flashed in front of Fang Li, completely ignoring Shen Yunzhou, who was frozen to the side and almost knocked over the medicine bowl.

She grabbed her daughter's hand, her eyes slightly red, her voice choked with emotion, and a gentle spiritual energy eagerly probed into Fang Li's body: "Quick! Let your mother see! Is it true? How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?"

Fang Yan was the last to land. He first scanned Fang Li from head to toe with sharp eyes, making sure her complexion was rosy and her breathing was steady before he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, his gaze swept over Shen Yunzhou, who was trying to maintain his composure, and he snorted, "Hmph, at least you have some conscience, knowing to take care of my sister. If Li'er is even slightly unwell, I'll tear down your Lengyou Peak!" His tone was as if his carefully cultivated cabbage had been eaten by a pig, and he still had to check if the pigsty was up to standard.

Shen Yunzhou: "..." Faced with the three top immortals, especially his brother-in-law's death stare that said "If you dare to treat my sister badly, you're dead," he felt immense pressure. Even with his Sword Master's temperament, he could only tighten his jaw and nod slightly, replying, "...This is my duty as a junior."

The group moved into the cave. Yun Zhiruo examined the area carefully for a long time before finally raising her eyes, which were filled with tears of joy. She hugged Fang Li tightly, her voice choked with emotion, "It's true! It's a real pregnancy pulse! The pulse is steady and strong, throbbing vigorously. My child is blessed!" She gently stroked Fang Li's back, feeling both happy and heartbroken, "It's just that you've suffered, my child."

Fang Qingyu had originally tried to maintain his dignity as the head of the family, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly, and he said "good" three times in a row: "Good! Good! Good! My Fang family bloodline has been continued, and the Chaos Path has a successor! This is a blessing from heaven for our clan!" He looked at Shen Yunzhou, who was standing solemnly to the side, with a complicated gaze, a mixture of scrutiny and emotion, which finally turned into a hint of approval. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder heavily, so hard that Shen Yunzhou swayed slightly. "...You kid, you did a good job."

Fang Yan then moved to Fang Li's other side, completely ignoring Shen Yunzhou, and asked with concern, "Little sister, how are you feeling? Is there anything wrong? Do you want to eat something rare? Tell me! The ten-thousand-year-old peaches from the Upper Realm? Or the Ice Soul Snow Lotus that only exists in the Nine Nether Abyss? Just say the word, and I'll get it for you right away!" He seemed to want to bring out all the treasures of heaven and earth.

Fang Li felt warm inside, surrounded by the overwhelming enthusiasm and love from her family.

She smiled and reassured them, "Father, Mother, Brother, don't be too worried. I'm fine, really. Yunzhou... he's taking very good care of me, he's very considerate in everything." As she spoke, she secretly gave Shen Yunzhou a comforting look.

Shen Yunzhou received her gaze, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly, but he still looked ready for anything, and simply nodded again.

Since that day, Lengyou Peak has become a key protected area.

Fang Li woke up in the morning, a familiar feeling of nausea rising in her throat: "Ugh..."

Almost simultaneously, Shen Yunzhou, who was beside her, woke up instantly and immediately supported her: "What's wrong? Feeling nauseous again?" His movements were so fast that they were just afterimages. Warm water, sweet spiritual fruit cut into small pieces, and perfectly pickled plums were instantly placed in front of Fang Li.

The skill level was so impressive that even Xiao Liuli, who had secretly slipped in to deliver the morning dew, was amazed.

After vomiting, Fang Li leaned weakly against him, feeling his steady heartbeat and the gentle patting of his back. She smiled helplessly, "This little guy, he's not even born yet, and he's already more troublesome than his father..."

Shen Yunzhou wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with his cool fingertips, his eyes soft, but his tone carried a hint of danger: "You've worked hard. When he comes out, I will definitely 'teach' him a lesson and teach him to be considerate of his mother."

Nighttime, on the bed.

Shen Yunzhou would always gently place his warm palms on Fang Li's slightly protruding belly, transforming his pure and peaceful sword energy into the gentlest spiritual power, which would slowly flow in like a gentle stream, carefully nurturing the fetus and the mother.

Fang Li closed her eyes, but could clearly feel the joy of the little life in her womb at this unique "nourishment." The active beating seemed to be responding. She comfortably squinted her eyes and whispered, "He seems to... really like your sword energy."

Shen Yunzhou's lips curled into a slight smile: "Yes. Our child will naturally be different from others."

Sometimes, Fang Li would lean against the cushioned tatami mat, gazing at the drifting clouds outside the window, and suddenly have a whimsical thought: "Yunzhou, what do you think... what should we name our child?"

Shen Yunzhou would put down his book, ponder for a moment, and reply, "If it is a boy, he should be resolute and courageous, and bear the responsibility of protection; if it is a girl, she should be intelligent and graceful, as insightful and warm as you."

Fang Li laughed upon hearing this: "You're making naming decisions like setting rules for the sect, it's too serious. How about... letting Xiao Liuli choose a character? She has a lot of ideas."

Looking at her sly smile, Shen Yunzhou's eyes were full of helplessness and indulgence: "...Whatever you say."

Yun Zhiruo would contact her daughter almost every day through a specially made communication jade talisman, showing concern and care for her daughter in every detail.

Along with this came all sorts of rare and precious items for pregnancy support and carefully prepared nourishing recipes gathered from the upper realm, as if they wanted to send over the very best of everything.

Fang Yan would "just happen to pass by" Tianheng Sect every few days, each time bringing large bags full of strange and unusual "tonic" items, from dragon blood crystals that were said to strengthen fetal bones to nightmare beast horns that emitted a strange fragrance and could calm the mind and soul. There was nothing he couldn't get his hands on.

Every time he put something down, he would always give Shen Yunzhou a "warning" with his extremely imposing gaze, although Shen Yunzhou would usually just accept the item expressionlessly and say thank you.

As the Lord of Liyuan, Fang Qingyu could not come in person frequently, but his care was more genuine.

He protected the entire Lengyou Peak and even the core area of ​​Tianheng Sect so well that no external interference could affect his daughter's pregnancy.
