"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
Li Qianxia was so frightened that her heart was pounding.
Following this trend, wouldn't she be going to be with Li Changzhou...?
Yaochi frowned; as the prospective wife, she had already assumed the role.
Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou and smiled meaningfully.
Li Changzhou smiled and said frankly to the black carp, "What explosive news is it? Tell me."
Apart from Yaochi, he believed he had a clear conscience.
Even Yaochi, at least up to now, has no intention of doing anything to betray Yang Qinglan.
"This is boring," the black carp suddenly said, turning and flying back to the white carp's side. "Now start asking questions, have you thought them through?"
"Now that we've got the timing, don't you know what we want to ask?" Yaochi asked with a smile, slightly provocative.
"Of course I know!" the black carp roared in reply.
“But you have many questions to ask,” the white carp explained slowly. “The questions that are ultimately asked are the ones chosen from among many difficulties. If we tell you the answers in advance, you will feel that you have even more questions you want to ask. Rather than that, it is better to let you ask them yourselves.”
Yaochi nodded: "That makes sense."
She turned to the three of them: "Who wants to ask first?"
Yang Qinglan spoke, asking the two carp, "In the future, what methods will we use to help the child overcome the heavenly tribulation?"
"Cunning!" the black carp scolded.
The white carp shook its head: "No, you haven't found a way to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation other than [Do As You Please]. The child in your belly has amazing talent. Not only does it have a primordial divine body, but it also has a heart with nine orifices. It has no bottlenecks and can learn anything instantly. Its potential is limitless."
"Wait!" Li Qianxia finally snapped out of her dreadful conjecture about the future. "The baby in my belly?"
She looked at Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan nodded, her expression calm, but her exquisitely beautiful face was slightly flushed.
"!"
Li Qianxia stared wide-eyed at Tong Kong.
When she asked "Is it a boy or a girl?", it was a joke; she didn't know Yang Qinglan already had a child!
“I knew it,” Yaochi murmured. “With your personality, there’s no way you would let Li Huoya be your first child.”
If it weren't for the black carp stirring things up and confirming that she would be with Li Changzhou, Yaochi's feelings would be very complicated.
Her feelings for Li Changzhou were equivalent to "I'd rather die on the road to heaven than not obtain the strongest divine will," but Yang Qinglan was pregnant, and she was still doing this, which made even her feel uneasy.
These two feelings will torment her for quite some time.
Fortunately, the black carp revealed the future.
Although the three of them haven't said it out loud, they already understand each other implicitly.
Before Li Qianxia could ask about the child, Yang Qinglan interrupted, "We can talk about that later. Let's get down to business now."
Is it a boy or a girl? Have you thought of a name yet? How many twins are there...? Li Qianxia swallowed these questions back.
She would occasionally glance curiously at Yang Qinglan's lower abdomen, as if it were replaying a scene from her high school evening self-study session—Li Changzhou was called out of the classroom by the teacher and scolded, and the guy who was caught reading pornographic books also implicated him.
Being scolded is already considered good; those with poor grades will have their parents called directly.
"However, someone knows a way, and has already succeeded." The black carp suddenly broke into an exaggerated smile.
"Who?" Yaochi asked first.
She's also concerned; she'll definitely... who knows... maybe... possibly... have a child by accident in the future? It's good to be prepared.
"Queen Mother of the West!" the black carp roared, followed by an exaggerated, maniacal laugh of "Hahahaha!"
For a moment, apart from the black carp's laughter, there was no sound at all within Chaos Bell Wave's barrier.
With laughter like that, who doesn't understand what the black carp means?
"It was during the Journey to the West... right?" Li Qianxia asked cautiously.
"It's my fault," Yaochi said apologetically, looking at Yang Qinglan. "It was I who suggested that A-zhou steal the peach tree, which gave the Queen Mother of the West the opportunity."
Yang Qinglan looked at Li Changzhou.
"That old woman, she's a liar!" Li Changzhou was so angry that his forehead throbbed; he was truly furious.
Being threatened is nothing, as he is less skilled than her. However, the two agreed that he would take her back to Earth, and she would destroy his essence.
The angrier he got, the happier the black carp laughed.
"Good, good!" The black carp swam freely in the waters of time. "I am tormented by time to the point of death, and you people are also being confused by the seven emotions and six desires! Go mad, all of you—die!"
"
The words "Die!" burst out of the barrier and echoed outside.
The pool rippled, and the trees rustled as if a heavy rain was falling.
The young creatures trembled with fear, while the witch, the phoenix, the little martial saint, and others exchanged bewildered glances.
"Alright," Yang Qinglan said softly, taking Li Changzhou's hand. "Calm down, let's pretend this never happened. It wasn't your fault."
"How can we pretend this never happened? I'll settle the score with her sooner or later!" Li Changzhou said sternly.
"In front of the children?"
Li Changzhou opened his mouth as if to say, "What does a child matter?" but he held back.
It wasn't that he actively wanted to endure it; it was his subconscious that made him hold back.
He was abandoned by his parents when he was ten years old. Before he was ten, his parents often quarreled, and he knew the harm that parental discord could do to a child.
He gazed at the sky, his heart heavy with frustration and unease.
"This wasn't your intention, and besides, you two didn't have any physical relationship, I..."
Before Yang Qinglan could finish speaking, Li Changzhou took her hand and said, "No matter what, I'm the one who's wronged you."
"What do you mean, 'I'm sorry'? 'I'm sorry'?" Yang Qinglan released Ruyi, raised her other hand, and gently stroked his cheek.
