As a new father, Wen Yanche was filled with excitement and grew to love his child more and more.

She carefully placed the child into the cradle and reluctantly handed him over to the male attendant.

He smiled sweetly without realizing it, wanting to immediately write to Leng Qingning to tell her the good news.

One month later

The Yue army then turned its attention to attacking the Huai Kingdom.

Leng Qingning had already received the letter from her husband, and she couldn't stop smiling these past few days.

They were much more lenient towards prisoners of war. Anyone who surrendered voluntarily was imprisoned, while those who refused to surrender were given a dignified death and their bodies were allowed to be transported back to their hometowns.

"My lady, judging by the dates, Consort Gu will be giving birth soon," Cang Yuan reminded her from the side.

Leng Qingning nodded with a smile: "It should be today or tomorrow. In another half month, there will be Shi Yi's child. I will be able to see my three children as soon as I go back."

Congratulations, sister!

Leng Qingning turned to Xiao Ning and said, "Little sister, your senior brother will be here later. You must also work hard."

This statement has a hidden meaning.

Xiao Ning was puzzled. "What do you mean, sister?"

Leng Qingning kept it a secret, saying that it was best to let the parties involved speak for themselves.

However, it's always good to find out what they think beforehand. Leng Qingning sat up straight in a second and asked Xiao Ning, "What does little sister think of senior brother?"

Without thinking, Xiao Ning blurted out, "In which aspect?"

"In terms of character."

Xiao Ning thought about how Kong Xuanzi had helped her before, and said, "Not bad."

Leng Qingning raised an eyebrow; it seemed there was hope.

Jin Yan and the others also noticed something amiss. Judging from these words, it seemed that the wife wanted to bring Xiao Ning and Senior Brother Kong together.

Leng Qingning then asked, "So what do you think of his appearance?"

Is this the kind of thing you like?

Xiao Ning casually replied, "It's fine as it is!"

Leng Qingning and the others frowned. What kind of person is that?

Could it be that you don't like it?

Cangyuan wanted to ask: Even with Senior Brother Kong's good looks, he couldn't catch your eye?

Leng Qingning was very worried about her senior brother. Her younger sister had finally come, and she couldn't miss this opportunity. She specially wrote a letter to call her senior brother over to try and bring the two of them together.

Weiwei asked anxiously, "Does my little sister have someone she likes in China?" She then looked at Ji Heng questioningly, but Ji Heng shook his head.

"Sister, I'm not interested in men."

What! ! !

One sentence startled four people.

Leng Qingning was greatly shocked. Her younger sister didn't like men? What did that mean?

Jin Yan and Cang Yuan were both shocked.

Ji Heng's eyes were dark and unfathomable, as if he couldn't believe it.

This is a matriarchal society, which is quite bizarre in the minds of these people.

Seeing everyone looking at her with such surprise, Xiao Ning rolled her eyes and said calmly, "I don't like women either."

The explanation came just in time.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Leng Qingning felt as if she could see her senior brother's miserable state of trying to kill himself and his Dao heart being broken, and she couldn't help but feel extremely worried for him.

Seeing the constantly changing expressions on their faces, Xiao Ning gently curled the corners of her lips, understanding their thoughts instantly.

evening

Kong Xuanzi arrived, and after dinner, he took the initiative to chat with Xiao Ning. The two then went outside the courtyard alone...

After finishing her business, Leng Qingning instructed someone to arrange accommodations for her senior brother, and then went to Ji Heng's room.

Thinking that the two of them must have reached an agreement, she went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, when asked, Kong Xuanzi looked like a wilted eggplant, utterly dejected and avoiding the question, shaking his head repeatedly. He then went to ask Xiao Ning, who only uttered two light sentences.

"Men will only slow down my speed in drawing my sword."

“Sister, I have entered the path of ruthlessness, severing all feelings and love.”

Leng Qingning was as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Kong Xuanzi also said he wanted to enter the Path of Ruthlessness, but he hasn't entered it yet, how can my little sister enter it?!

"Sigh..." He looked up at the sky and sighed.

Sanfulang felt a little regretful!

After Xiao Ning said those words, everyone tacitly shut their mouths and stopped interfering in the matter between the two.

Focus on the battles to come.

…………

Here in Langya Prefecture.

Evening

An uninvited guest quietly leaped onto the wall, gathering its strength to strike.

Inside the Moon Gazing Pavilion, Gu Nanshu sensed something; the spiritual energy within his body was fluctuating wildly, a sign that the Spirit Pearl was about to leave his body.

Junzhu quickly helped him lie down, saying anxiously, "My lord, please wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch the steward."

Gu Nanshu remained relatively calm. As far as he knew, male childbirth was not particularly dangerous; there would be contractions in the early stages, and the pain would intensify at the moment of delivery. Otherwise, there was nothing to worry about.

The important thing is that the spiritual pearl must be continuously supplied with spiritual energy for the next three days without interruption. This requires the husband to stay by the spiritual pearl day and night and not go anywhere.

As long as the father maintains a certain distance, the spiritual energy within his body will automatically sense and continuously supply the spiritual pearl until the child breaks through the pearl and is born.

After settling Gu Nanshu in, Junzhu opened the door and ordered the servants to quickly call Wen Gong, and also sent someone to notify the husbands of each courtyard to come over.

Only then did he walk to the bedside to wipe Gu Nanshu's sweat.

"Master, please hold on a little longer. Lord Wen is in the other courtyard and will be here soon."

"Should we take the Pregnancy Fruit first?"

Gu Nanshu shook his head.

Pregnancy fruit juice is for newborns to drink, similar to breast milk, but with better nutritional components, and has the effects of replenishing physical strength, providing nutrients, and nourishing spiritual energy.

Similarly, after the spirit pearl leaves the body, the pregnant man also needs to drink this to replenish his spiritual energy to sustain his spiritual energy consumption for three days.

The role of the stable man was to take care of the spirit pearl and serve the pregnant man without changing his clothes for three days.

Pregnant men generally do not drink it before giving birth.

The contractions suddenly intensified!

Gu Nanshu's face was pale. He clutched his abdomen in great discomfort, his body curling up slightly.

"Junzhu, I feel like the baby is about to come out."

"Ah!" Junzhu panicked, her face filled with worry. After thinking for a moment, she softened her tone and reassured her, "It's alright, Master. They'll be here soon."

The pain intensified, and Gu Nanshu's forehead was covered in sweat. Soon, his face was contorted in pain, and he could only gasp for breath. He seemed unable to hear Junzhu calling him and had no strength to respond.

Seeing this, Junzhu became extremely anxious, realizing that the situation could not be waited for even a moment longer.

He immediately opened the cabinet, took out a silver box, and retrieved the fertility fruit from inside. It was a spare, and he thought he would give his master some energy first.

Just as Junzhu cracked open the fertile fruit, a person suddenly jumped down from the roof.

Junzhu heard the sound behind her and was about to turn around to check when she was struck hard on the back of the neck, immediately falling unconscious and collapsing to the ground.

The fruit in his hand rolled to the ground, spilling all its juice.

The man quickly closed the door.

Gu Nanshu was in excruciating pain on the bed, feeling her consciousness gradually fading, and she couldn't hear any other sounds at all.

Who said it's just labor pains?

In an instant, the pain reached its peak.

Gu Nanshu involuntarily arched his lower abdomen, veins throbbing on his forehead, his voice hoarse, the pain exhausting him, and his voice was extremely hoarse and low.

Suddenly, a transparent, round object emitting a pale blue light condensed from his lower abdomen. The moment it came into contact with the air, the basketball-sized pale blue transparent object solidified completely.

The spirit pearl takes shape after leaving the body.
