After Feng Yuncheng looked in the direction of the stairwell in dismay, he asked Beatrice in shock, “You’re saying that Yu Huang is pregnant?”
Beatrice nodded. “Yes, she told me herself.”
Feng Yuncheng suddenly envied Sheng Xiao.
He stole a glance at Beatrice’s stomach, but quickly looked away.
What was he looking at?
He was still a virgin to this day, yet he actually dared to fantasize about children.
.
Yu Huang was sitting in the tea room while studying the Divination Ultimate Art book when she suddenly heard the door open and Sheng Xiao’s footsteps.
The usually levelheaded and calm man became anxious at this moment.
Yu Huang’s lips curled up slightly.
Turned out that even Sheng Xiao panicked sometimes.
After Sheng Xiao pushed open the door of the tea room, he looked down and met Yu Huang’s mirthful gaze.
There was a gentle look in her eyes. As Yu Huang looked at him gently, Sheng Xiao calmed down.
After he took off his slippers and walked into the tea room barefooted, he squatted down beside the sofa where Yu Huang was sitting.
He hesitated again and again before carefully placing his palm on Yu Huang’s abdomen. “Is there really a small life inside?” Sheng Xiao looked up at Yu Huang with a cautious gaze.
Yu Huang shook her head. “No.”
Sheng Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
Was Beatrice lying to him?
“There are two,” Yu Huang said.
Sheng Xiao’s eyes widened. “Two?” He was so shocked that his voice broke.
Yu Huang nodded. “Yes.”
She told Sheng Xiao about meeting the Moon Devouring Beast in the training area. “Our children is most likely here.”
Sheng Xiao was enlightened. “No wonder. All these years, we’ve taken precautions every time, but you’ve never been pregnant. I always thought that it was the fatalism between Black Qing Sky Dragon and the Divine Feather Phoenix that made you unable to give birth. I didn’t expect that when different Divine Beast Clansmen get together, they have to obtain the gift of life to give birth.”
She saw that Sheng Xiao didn’t know that if different Divine Beast Clansmen wanted to have children, they had to obtain the power of life to give birth.
She frowned and asked curiously, “Didn’t those Divine Beast Clansmen get married despite being from different races in the ancient era?”
Sheng Xiao shook his head. “No, the Divine Beast Clan values the energy of the bloodline. People who marry into other clans are usually seen as traitors among the clans. Even though there were a few marriages between those of different clans, they didn’t have children. At that time, there was a saying in the world that the union of different clans was against the Creator, so the Creator punished them with never having any descendants.”
“Sheng Xiao.” Yu Huang called Sheng Xiao’s full name.
It was no longer the usual affectionate address of ‘Brother Xiao’.
Sheng Xiao nodded. “I’m here.”
Yu Huang asked him, “Are you looking forward to their birth?”
Sheng Xiao pursed his lips, but didn’t answer.
Yu Huang wasn’t anxious.
She took half a day to accept her pregnancy, and Sheng Xiao only found out about it five minutes ago, so his mind must be in a mess. It was normal for him to be unable to express his opinion so soon.
Yu Huang wouldn’t lost her temper at him just because of this.
She said to Sheng Xiao, “Go out and take a shower. Then, After you calm down later, we’ll talk in detail.”
Sheng Xiao wanted to say something but hesitated. After he observed Yu Huang’s expression carefully, he was relieved when he saw that she wasn’t angry and that she really wanted to talk to him about it.
“I’m a little flustered now, so I’ll go out and take a breather first.”
Sheng Xiao stood up and kissed Yu Huang’s forehead before walking out.
After a while, Yu Huang heard the sound of water running in the bathroom.
She opened the Divination Ultimate Art again and focused on reading.
.
After Sheng Xiao took a shower with cold water, he calmed down a lot.
After he put on thin gray pajamas, he went downstairs to the kitchen to get himself another glass of ice water. As he stood in the kitchen, he drank the ice water in one gulp. Then, he turned to look at the dining room, but he met three pairs of concerned gazes.
Beatrice asked him, “What, are you frightened by the news?”
Sheng Xiao didn’t answer.
As he leaned his long legs against the middle island platform in the middle of the kitchen, he held the empty glass of water in his right hand and his left hand was in his pocket. He had his eyes lowered and he was filled with worry.
Feng Yuncheng noticed that Sheng Xiao was flustered, so he asked him, “You don’t want these children?”
Sheng Xiao shook his head. “Not one, but two.”
“Damn.” Feng Yuncheng was stunned. Even Ye Qingyang looked up at Sheng Xiao.
Ye Qingyang said, “That’s quite impressive.”
Being pregnant with two children at once was rare in the cultivation world.
When cultivators were pregnant, the spiritual energy that the fetus in their stomach needed to absorb was terrifying. Most female cultivators would be tortured from pregnancy to childbirth.
Yu Huang became pregnant with two babies in one go. Even Ye Qingyang pitied her.
Sheng Xiao put down the cup and walked towards them.
After he pulled out a dining chair and sat down, he looked at Beatrice and said in a low voice, “Of course I want them. Like Yu Huang, I look forward to their arrival. But…”
Sheng Xiao suddenly wiped his face with a heartbroken and worried look as he said to Beatrice, “You must have heard that my mother was almost sucked dry by me when she gave birth to me, right?”
Beatrice nodded. “Yes. It’s said that at that time, Madam Sheng was bedridden for a few days because of her lack of demonic power. Later, Prime Master Lingfeng went to the Light Sea personally and spent a lot of money to buy all the Holy Water of Light in the Elven Palace. After he brought it back and fed it to Madam Sheng, only then did Madam Sheng recover.”
“After that, Prime Master Lingfeng used all kinds of precious treasures to nourish Madam Sheng and she successfully gave birth to you.” Beatrice smiled as she said, “That’s why before you were born, the experts of the Divine Moon Empire asserted that you would be very impressive in the future.”
Nodding, Sheng Xiao said, “You’re right.”
Sheng Xiao pressed his temples as he said with heartache, “The child between Yu Huang and I is the Netherworld Phoenix.”
Speaking of the Netherworld Phoenix, Sheng Xiao looked at Ye Qingyang.
The crow had flown onto Ye Qingyang’s arm.
Ye Qingyang stroked the crow’s smooth little head as he said in a low voice, “The Undead Divine Master is the only Netherworld Phoenix in the world.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Yuncheng said thoughtfully, “So, the children in Yu Huang’s stomach are two powerful Netherworld Phoenixes. Are you worried that giving birth to two children will harm Yu Huang’s body?”
Sheng Xiao closed his eyes and nodded. “That’s right. Back then, I almost tortured my mother to death. If she’s pregnant with two children at once, Yu Huang might not be able to hold on.”
Sheng Xiao hated himself for not having a womb and being unable to give birth to the two little fellows for Yu Huang.
“We enjoy the happy moments together, but she is the only one who bears the pain. How unfair.” Sheng Xiao grabbed his short hair and lamented. “If I could bear the children, I would naturally accept them, but I can’t bear to let Yu Huang suffer.”
Sheng Xiao couldn’t bear to tell Yu Huang his thoughts.
This was also the reason why he didn’t respond immediately when Yu Huang asked him if he wanted these two children.
Of course he wanted these two children.
They were a gift.
However, he wanted Yu Huang to be safe and sound even more.
Beatrice, who wanted to persuade Sheng Xiao to let Yu Huang give birth to the two babies, felt pity after she heard Sheng Xiao’s thoughts.
Feng Yuncheng also had a worried expression and lamented, “If only we could move a woman’s womb into a man’s body.”
But that was impossible.
The discussion downstairs had long been transmitted to Yu Huang’s ears through psychic power.
Yu Huang understood Sheng Xiao’s attitude after hearing his thoughts.
He was looking forward to the birth of these two children just like her, but he was afraid. Yu Huang turned off the Divination Ultimate Art and went straight to the dining room.
Sheng Xiao was stunned when he saw Yu Huang suddenly appear. He asked in a hoarse voice, “You heard us?”
Yu Huang nodded.
After Yu Huang walked behind Sheng Xiao, she rubbed his hair with both hands and messed up his hair. Then, she smacked his head.
Sheng Xiao was confused.
“Are you angry?”
After Yu Huang walked to the opposite side of Sheng Xiao and sat down beside Ye Qingyang, she crossed her legs and kicked Sheng Xiao’s calf angrily. “Are you a man? If giving birth to these two guys requires a huge amount of spiritual power, what you should do is not to worry about me here. Instead, you should think of a way to collect natural treasures to nourish the children with me.”
“If we can’t even raise our own children, how can we save the world?” Then, Yu Huang kicked Sheng Xiao angrily once again.
Sheng Xiao wasn’t angry even after being kicked twice.
He said, “Of course I’ll try my best to collect natural treasures for our child, but how much suffering will you suffer these seven years? My heart aches for you.”
Sheng Xiao was hesitant because his heart ached for Yu Huang.
Yu Huang sneered and said, “When we slept together, I didn’t see your heart ache, but now, your heart aches.”
Sheng Xiao was speechless.
Seeing the mirth in Yu Huang’s eyes, Sheng Xiao suddenly felt relieved. “You’re right. We have to take care of our children ourselves.”
“Let’s give birth to these two children!”
Yu Huang was relieved when she heard this.
