Ye Qingyun's blatant lie temporarily stabilized Gu Chenyuan, giving him the opportunity to investigate the supernatural energy decomposer.
That day, Ye Qingyun got out of bed and was watched closely by Gu Chenyuan the whole time, as if he were a creature that needed special protection and that he would get hurt if he wasn't careful.
Ye Qingyun brushed his teeth and washed his face under that gaze, and then tried to relieve himself. However, faced with Gu Chenyuan's expressionless but intensely fixed gaze, he really couldn't urinate.
Ye Qingyun: "...Don't do this. I'm not disabled. I don't need you to help me with my penis. Can you please go out first?"
Gu Chenyuan glanced at Ye Qingyun's belly and repeatedly told her not to fall, and to call him in immediately if she did. Only then did he leave, turning back every few steps.
Such care permeated every aspect of her life. Being valued so much, Ye Qingyun could only pretend to be cautious and occasionally discuss their future life with Gu Chenyuan.
"If we have a child, what are some things you'd like to do with him?" Ye Qingyun asked, trying to reinforce Gu Chenyuan's love for life. "We could take him everywhere we go, what do you think?"
“One should be independent, and boys especially shouldn’t be spoiled,” Gu Chenyuan said expressionlessly. “Once he’s an adult, he should leave home and make his own way in the world.”
Ye Qingyun: "..."
Boys shouldn't be spoiled?
Ye Qingyun: "I want to drink juice."
Gu Chenyuan got up and left, and soon after, he brought Ye Qingyun a glass of juice.
Ye Qingyun: "You feed me."
A smile flashed in Gu Chenyuan's eyes as he held the cup to Ye Qingyun's lips, coaxing her to drink the juice.
Ye Qingyun: "Is this what they mean by boys shouldn't be spoiled? You clearly like spoiled boys! Look how happy you are!"
Gu Chenyuan regained his expressionless demeanor: "You and he are different, you can't be judged by the same standard."
Ye Qingyun: "..."
What a double standard!
Ye Qingyun was speechless, secretly relieved that Gu Chenyuan didn't really like children. When he told Gu Chenyuan that they didn't actually have children, Gu Chenyuan probably wouldn't be too sad.
At the same time, Ye Qingyun officially began investigating the supernatural ability decomposer.
Previously, Gu Chenyuan forbade Ye Qingyun from conducting the investigation, saying it was dangerous and might allow the enemy to discover his whereabouts. But now, with Ye Qingyun prohibiting Gu Chenyuan from wandering around, in order to understand the enemy's movements, Gu Chenyuan finally relented and began investigating with Ye Qingyun.
Because Gu Chenyuan kept a close eye on him and was very old-fashioned, he wouldn't let him go online too much, saying it was bad for his health. So Ye Qingyun could only delegate some tasks to Gu Chenyuan and give him guidance from the side.
They managed to hack into the Royal's internal network fairly easily and saw a picture of the machine. It was a rather exquisite and compact-looking device, like an ancient incense burner, round and small, and its appearance alone did not reveal its destructive power.
Such a confidential machine would naturally not have its weaknesses openly displayed. Ye Qingyun and Gu Chenyuan searched through all the relevant documents, but they could not find any documents describing its weaknesses. They only found a self-aggrandizing description.
This is an absolutely perfect machine, incredibly powerful, and indestructible; it cannot be destroyed by human power.
Ye Qingyun frowned as he looked at the line of text, while Gu Chenyuan patted the back of his head and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid. If anything really happens, I will do everything I can to keep you safe."
"Don't talk nonsense. Who asked you to protect me?" Ye Qingyun stopped Gu Chenyuan from speaking and continued to search for the machine's weakness.
Nothing is perfect, and he will surely find the machine's relative weakness!
After several days of searching, Ye Qingyun did not find any relevant descriptions, but he did make a discovery: he found the name of the machine's creator in a document.
Without hesitation, Ye Qingyun immediately followed the creator's name and found the creator's StarNet homepage.
The maker's homepage is filled with a lot of information, showing that he is someone who loves to share. He often shares the small items he makes with everyone and boasts about how good he is at making things.
However, after searching for a long time, Ye Qingyun found that the maker had not mentioned anything about the supernatural decomposer he had helped create.
Ye Qingyun had anticipated this; the creators must have signed a confidentiality agreement, so they wouldn't release any related information publicly. But with the author being so talkative, could they really refrain from writing a single word?
Ye Qingyun pondered for a moment, then tried to hack into the homepage to extract hidden information.
Persistence pays off. After typing the last line of code, Ye Qingyun actually found the relevant information he wanted from the hidden content.
The maker was extremely satisfied with the ability decomposer he helped create, praising it lavishly, and one part of it said:
The emperor demanded that this machine be perfect and indestructible, threatening my life if I failed. Ridiculous! What in this world is truly perfect? However, while that machine wasn't perfect, it was close enough.
This machine can withstand advanced supernatural abilities, but it can't withstand mental attacks, which cost us a lot of time to solve. Now, only when a 3S-level mental power user is willing to risk their life and use all their mental power to attack the machine can it be destroyed. Everything else, whether supernatural or physical damage, can be blocked.
However, Level 3S mental power users only exist in legends; they're practically nonexistent in reality. That machine will likely never have a chance to be destroyed.
...A 3S-level mental power user, willing to sacrifice their life to destroy it?
Ye Qingyun was taken aback and subconsciously turned to look at Member Gu. Gu Chenyuan was sitting next to him. He had also seen this passage.
Gu Chenyuan frowned slightly and looked over as well.
"You... what are your thoughts?" Ye Qingyun asked. "Would you like to find a 3S-level mental power user?"
Gu Chenyuan remained silent.
He knew that 3S mental power users were extremely rare. Unlike superpowers, mental power did not have a stable path of evolution and improvement. Mental power was almost predetermined at birth and was very difficult to improve.
Because the royal family members all have low spiritual power, they are afraid that spiritual power has some special destructive power. Therefore, since the royal family members ascended the throne, they have been suppressing the research on spiritual power and promoting spiritual power as something that has no use.
Moreover, for some reason, advanced mental power users are extremely rare, let alone 3S-level mental power users. Only one such user has appeared in the entire history of interstellar space, and he only left a brief trace in history. It is said that he had extremely high emotional intelligence and manipulated all the top big shots at the time.
Such a person is extremely rare, not to mention the slim chance of encountering one, the possibility of someone willing to risk their life to destroy the machine is even slimmer. Even if such a person did appear, Gu Chenyuan would absolutely not want such a scheming person to meet Ye Qingyun.
Gu Chenyuan said in a deep voice, "Qingyun, a 3S-level mental power user... is too rare and very difficult to find. I will think of other ways to solve this problem. Don't worry too much, take care of your health and take good care of your pregnancy."
Ye Qingyun also knew of the glorious deeds of that 3S-level mental power user, and he cautiously probed again: "I haven't tested my mental power yet, what if I—"
"Enough." Gu Chenyuan interrupted Ye Qingyun without any mercy. "Don't overthink it. There's no such thing as a coincidence. You're not..."
Ye Qingyun was momentarily stunned—was this a roundabout way of saying he lacked emotional intelligence? Who said you had to have high emotional intelligence? His IQ was quite high, wasn't it? He was a 3S-level mental power user!
...No, Gu Chenyuan didn't want him to risk his life to blow up the machine, so he was trying to nip the possibility of him courting death in the bud.
If Gu Chenyuan knew he was truly a 3S-level ability user, he would probably isolate him from that machine first. Or, to go even further, to prevent his death, he might feed him some banned drugs to lower his mental strength to 2S, which wouldn't be impossible.
He couldn't let Gu Chenyuan know about this.
Ye Qingyun made up her mind and followed Gu Chenyuan's words, saying, "What you said makes sense. I'll look into it some more and see if there are any other ways."
Gu Chenyuan responded, reached out and hugged Ye Qingyun, pulling her into his arms before closing the terminal.
Gu Chenyuan reached out and touched Ye Qingyun's eyes: "Rest for a while, you're too tired."
Ye Qingyun closed her eyes, pondering a solution.
His death wasn't true death; he could be reborn. Trading his life for Gu Chenyuan's safety was clearly the most appropriate thing to do.
However, the system does not allow him to directly state that he can be reborn, because it is too unbelievable, does not conform to the logic of this world, and may also expose the system.
Since that's the case, he subtly hinted to Gu Chenyuan that his death wasn't a real one, that he could come back, and then find another opportunity to completely destroy the superpower decomposition machine.
If no other method of destruction can be found, this should be the last resort.
——————
Ye Qingyun calmed down for the time being, and Gu Chenyuan was satisfied.
Because of Ye Qingyun's special physical condition, Gu Chenyuan is even more careful in taking care of Ye Qingyun's daily life, for fear that any mistake may have a negative impact on Ye Qingyun's health.
Gu Chenyuan had no experience in taking care of pregnant women and felt that he shouldn't be too reckless, so he went online to ask if there were any special precautions to take when taking care of pregnant men.
Soon, a kind-hearted person replied to him below.
Oh my, is your son pregnant? You're really lucky; it's rare for a boy to get pregnant. The precautions are similar to those for caring for a pregnant woman, but there are two things you should pay extra attention to.
Because he will produce milk after childbirth, you should massage him frequently to prevent difficulties in milk production. Also, since men generally have smaller pelvises, massage him often to help him relax and prevent dystocia (difficult labor).
Gu Chenyuan stared at the words, lost in thought.
If he understands correctly, then the area that needs massage in this passage is...

That night, Ye Qingyun turned off the lights and went to bed as usual.
Ye Qingyun lay down for a while and realized that Gu Chenyuan had not come to sleep yet, so she opened her eyes to look for him.
Through the dim light, he saw Gu Chenyuan sitting not far away, as quiet as a statue.
"Gu Chenyuan?" Ye Qingyun asked curiously, "Aren't you going to rest?"
Gu Chenyuan didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and tapped a few times on the terminal.
The next second, Ye Qingyun discovered that something had been sent to his terminal.
This was undoubtedly sent to him by Gu Chenyuan. Ye Qingyun didn't understand what it meant at all, and opened it inexplicably, only to see the inquiry post.
[Milk production... massage... pelvic floor... relaxation...]
Ye Qingyun glanced at it quickly, and her face flushed red instantly.
Why did Gu Chenyuan send him this? Could it be...?
In the darkness, Gu Chenyuan said softly, "Let me massage it for you, okay?"
