[Host, you've gone a bit too far this time.] The system scanned Qifei's stomach and couldn't help but click its tongue in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Qifei has been a bit sleepy lately, like she can't wake up.
[You're actually pregnant with four this time...] This was the first time the system had ever seen four babies in Qifei's belly at once.
[Didn't they say that multiple pregnancies would be more difficult? Now there are four at once, and conditions aren't like they are in later years. Won't this be a problem?]
The system genuinely cared about Qifei. When she was pregnant three times, it was during the best time. In the later stages, she simply couldn't sleep at all.
Because the host must bear the burden of pregnancy, the ten months of pregnancy are also a burden for the host.
Qifei paused for a moment, then subconsciously touched her stomach.
Although she didn't intentionally control the number of children this time, four at once...
"Forget it, I can't just destroy a few of the formed embryos. Four is fine. Fortunately, my demonic power has recovered quite a bit, so four shouldn't be a problem."
Qifei, however, quickly came to terms with it.
If it were her in the first world, without any demonic power, carrying four babies would definitely be impossible; she would probably lose half her life.
However, now that she has demonic powers, she can make herself much more comfortable.
[Won't the host have a tough time later on?]
Having traveled through several worlds, the system has witnessed many of Qifei's pregnancies and naturally knows that various symptoms can occur after pregnancy.
Moreover, not every pregnancy presents with the same symptoms.
More often than not, the symptoms are different each time you get pregnant.
"Right now, I just hope the baby in my belly will be a little considerate and not be too restless." Qi Fei patted her belly, her voice unusually gentle, "Did you hear me?"
At this stage, the embryo is naturally unable to communicate with Qifei, but the mother's emotions can be perceived by the child who is connected by blood.
Qifei's idea was good, but reality was harsh.
Perhaps because she was pregnant with her fourth child, she became unusually sleepy.
When she woke up after sleeping for a long time for the first time, Shura was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at her intently. She only realized what was happening when she opened her eyes.
"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" Shura gripped her hand tightly; if he wasn't sure Qifei was asleep, he would have gone crazy.
So he didn't dare go anywhere, and just sat motionless beside Qifei, guarding her.
"Huh?" Qifei rubbed her eyes, a little confused. "What's wrong? I'm perfectly fine."
"You scared me to death." Shura hugged Qifei, his voice still trembling slightly. "You hadn't woken up, and I was worried something had happened to you."
Qifei gently patted Xiuluo, a smile appearing on her lips, "Because I'm pregnant, I've become more prone to sleep, don't worry."
"That's good, as long as you..." Shura's words suddenly stopped. He held Qifei's shoulders, his mouth opening and closing several times before he could speak, "What did you say?"
"Congratulations on becoming a father." Qifei smiled and gently placed Xiuluo's hand on her belly. "Our child is inside."
Almost instantly, Qifei felt Shura stiffen, and even heard his bones cracking.
It took Xiu Luo a long time to process the news that Qi Fei was pregnant. Finally, he asked incoherently, "Do you want to eat something?"
No, no, no, I'll go make you some sugar water first.
"I need to cut some fruit, wait for me."
As he spoke, Shura rushed out of the house at a speed that Qifei had never seen before.
Qi Fei blinked, smiled, and got out of bed as well.
It's the season for oranges right now. Shura just brought some back today. He peeled an orange for Qifei first, then turned around to cook.
Because he was worried about Qifei, he had no interest in cooking or anything like that.
Now, they quickly lit a fire, stirred some dough, and soon the egg noodles were ready.
Shura was quite strong, so the dough he made was very chewy.
After becoming pregnant, Qifei's body naturally became like that of an ordinary person.
I've slept for a long time now, so naturally I'm hungry.
She ate the whole bowl of noodles clean, which made Shura very happy.
From that day on, Kihi was put into a life of being fed.
She used to do some chores at home when she had nothing to do, but ever since they found out she was pregnant, Shura has refused to let her touch anything.
Qifei couldn't get close to the kitchen either. She couldn't stand the smell of cooking oil anymore; even the slightest odor would make her vomit violently.
Every time Shura cooked, he would carefully wash himself clean and make sure there was no smell before approaching Qifei.
During the first three months of her pregnancy, Qifei spent her time eating and vomiting repeatedly.
It wasn't until four months later that things started to improve, and because it was her fourth pregnancy, Qifei's belly swelled up like a balloon.
Every time she took a slight step, Shura would anxiously support her, afraid that she might bump into something.

Winter comes early to Xiahe Village, and the river is already starting to freeze.
Shura had been away from home for several days, and he was extremely worried about Qifei when he left.
In the end, it was only after Qifei repeatedly assured her that she wouldn't go anywhere and would stay in the house that she reluctantly left.
He had to leave to take care of some things. Ever since Qifei became pregnant, he had been consciously distancing himself from the black market and preparing to go it alone.
Larger cities are now beginning to see some easing of restrictions.
This year, the college entrance examination was even reinstated, encouraging educated youth who had gone to the countryside to return to school.
Shura once asked Qifei for her opinion. In this world, Qifei is a proper high school graduate who has not yet attended university.
Although it's hard to let her go, Qifei deserves better. If she really wants to continue her studies, she can go back to school after the baby is born.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Kihi.
Why would a monster like her need to read so many books? Besides, she really has no interest in going to university.
You'd be better off doing something else with that time.
As the policies mentioned above begin to loosen, individual business owners have started to emerge in some specific cities.
Qifei is willing to start her own business, such as custom-made clothing.
After all, she had seen so many styles in her later life, and she herself also enjoyed making them.
Even during her pregnancy, she made many outfits for the children.
But there's no rush. After all, she's pregnant and can't do much right now. Her energy is limited each day, so we'll talk about everything after the baby is born.
Qifei looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were falling from the sky. This was the first snow of the year, and it finally fell after a long period of cold.
She touched her enormous belly and slowly moved toward the kitchen.
