Bonus Chapter: We're having a baby!
At Wangshu Xiantai, morning mist swirls between the jade railings and carved beams and painted rafters.
Beside the jade couch in the center of Sendai, Little Ruri curled up into a colorful fluffy ball, sleeping soundly, her little belly rising and falling with her breath.
Fang Li slowly awoke, her long eyelashes fluttering as she opened her eyes. She instinctively stretched, but suddenly felt that the flow of spiritual energy around her was different from usual. A warm, strange sensation was quietly swirling and lingering deep within her dantian, soft and gentle.
A slight thought stirred within her, and she subconsciously looked inward, sinking her consciousness into her dantian.
The moment her divine sense touched that wisp of energy, Fang Li was struck dumb, frozen on the bed, her breath catching in her throat: "This...this energy...the convergence of Yin and Yang, the nascent life...could it be..." She couldn't believe it, her heart pounding wildly, almost leaping out of her throat. She forced herself to calm down and cautiously probed and sensed it again.
Although that breath was faint, it was full of vitality, without a doubt!
Just then, Ye Wuyang silently approached, carrying a cup of carefully condensed moonlight dew. Seeing her dazed expression and changing face, he couldn't help but frown slightly, a hint of worry appearing in his eyes: "Li'er? Is your breathing unstable? Or did you catch a chill last night?" As he spoke, he stretched out his fingertip, condensing a wisp of gentle, icy immortal energy, wanting to check her pulse.
Fang Li snapped back to reality, instinctively hiding her wrist in her sleeve. Her eyes darted around, avoiding his gaze. "No...nothing! Really! It's just...I probably didn't sleep well last night, I'm a little tired..." The more she tried to hide it, the more her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.
Seeing her acting so strangely, Ye Wuyang's gaze suddenly darkened, and without saying a word, he grabbed her wrist, which she was trying to hide.
His cool fingertips touched her pulse point, and as a wisp of pure immortal energy carefully probed in, he instantly and accurately captured that unique life force!
Ye Wuyang froze on the spot, as if petrified. His pupils contracted sharply, and the fingertips holding Fang Li's wrist trembled uncontrollably, causing ripples to spread across the moonlight dew lamp.
“…This…this is…” His voice was hoarse, even tinged with panic.
This reaction was so obvious that it instantly attracted the attention of the other three people on Sendai.
Shen Yunzhou was meditating on the cliff edge, comprehending his sword skills, when he sensed Ye Wuyang's aura tremble violently. His brows furrowed instantly, and he flashed to the front, bringing with him a sharp breeze: "What's going on?" His gaze fell on Ye Wuyang's tightly gripping Fang Li's hand, and his sword aura subconsciously tightened, a chill suddenly appearing.
Ji Qianqiu was humming a tuneless little tune, happily roasting spirit potatoes. Upon seeing this, he threw the charred spirit potatoes on the ground, strode over, and shouted loudly, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Ice Face, you're bullying your junior sister?! Let go of her!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward.
Xie Chen also put down the book in his hand, his gentle eyes sweeping over Fang Li's flushed cheeks and Ye Wuyang's obviously out-of-control expression, a deep worry flashing in his eyes.
Fang Li felt the slight tremor of Ye Wuyang's fingertips, the imposing sword aura of Shen Yunzhou, the loud voice of Ji Qianqiu, and the burning gaze of Xie Chen. She felt her cheeks burning and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot.
Little Liuli was awakened by the commotion. She rubbed her eyes groggily with her paws and mumbled in a childish voice, "Awoo... What's all the noise... Did the sky fall or did the Chaos Sea overflow..." She twitched her little nose, and after seeing what was happening, her Qilin eyes suddenly widened: "Wait! Host! You... you... why do you smell... like a little cub?!"
The words "little brat" instantly caused the four men present to lose control of their expressions!
Ye Wuyang's ears turned bright red at a visible speed, and the usually cold and composed man became somewhat incoherent: "I...I'm going to find Qingxuan...no...Chu Yunfan! Yes! A medical cultivator! I need the safest prescription for a safe pregnancy...and...I need an absolutely safe environment...Liyuan? No, it's still here..." As he spoke, he was about to turn around and tear through space, but his steps were unsteady, and he almost bumped into the jade pillar next to him.
The ancient longsword in Shen Yunzhou's arms emitted a sharp buzzing sound, revealing the tremor in his heart.
A sharp glint of sword intent flashed in his eyes, a surge of immense joy quickly replaced by an overwhelming sense of unease. "Stop!" he called out to the somewhat flustered Ye Wuyang, instantly forming a pincer movement between them. His gaze swept over Fang Li's complexion, and he said in a deep voice, "My bloodline?" Then, he looked at Ye Wuyang: "How can we confirm everything is safe?" He immediately entered a state of high alert.
Ji Qianqiu froze on the spot.
A few seconds later, he suddenly jumped up, almost kicking the small red clay stove next to him that was used for brewing tea. "My goodness!!" The roar shook the entire Sendai. He rushed to Fang Li, opening his arms to give her a big bear hug, but was stopped by the cold auras emanating from Ye Wuyang and Shen Yunzhou at the same time. He could only rub his big hands together and excitedly circle around Fang Li, his face full of silly, ecstatic joy.
His voice boomed, filled with excitement and disbelief: "Really, Junior Sister?! I'm going to be a father?! No, we're going to be fathers?! Hahaha! That's wonderful! Oh my! I have to hunt down the best spirit beast to nourish Junior Sister! No, I have to tell Master first! Hahaha!"
Xie Chen seemed to freeze, his breath catching in his throat. After several seconds, he suddenly stood up, his movements so fast they created a breeze. He strode over to Fang Li, reaching out to touch her but hesitating, his hand freezing in mid-air.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, but his voice remained tense, losing its usual composure: "When did this happen? How are you feeling? Any discomfort? Dizziness? Nausea? Chu Yunfan... Yes, we need Chu Yunfan, no, we need Mother-in-law! Li'er, don't move, sit down!" He spoke incoherently, completely revealing his inner panic.
Little Liuli excitedly circled around Fang Li's legs, rubbing his fluffy head against her: "Host, host! It's the young master! It's a living, breathing young master! (So excited he was incoherent) I'm going to be a big brother! No, an uncle? Or a guardian beast? Oh well, never mind!" As he spoke, he suddenly looked up, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the four obviously flustered men, "But! Whose... uh... I mean, they're all! They're all Dad! Right, right?" He tried to bring the water...
In an instant, the air became subtly quiet.
Ye Wuyang pursed her thin lips, her gaze towards Fang Li filled with tenderness and a heavy sense of responsibility. Shen Yunzhou's tense jawline softened, and he silently moved closer to Fang Li.
Ji Qianqiu scratched his head and chuckled foolishly, glancing at Fang Li and then at the other three, a smug look on his face that said, "We're really amazing." Xie Chen paused in his fanning, then chuckled and shook his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone, regaining some composure, but the excitement and joy in his eyes were equally evident.
Fang Li felt both embarrassed and warm at the chaotic scene, especially Xiao Liuli's "They're all Dads," which made her both laugh and cry, and her cheeks turned even redder. She finally coughed lightly: "Alright... everyone quiet down."
