Chapter 144 Do you know how to raise children?
"Senior sister, what's wrong with you lately?"
Leng Huan shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from traveling."
"Then let's not rush to leave, let's rest here for a few more days."
“No need for that,” Leng Huan said, avoiding him and jumping onto a boulder. All he could see was a vast expanse of red rocks and yellow sand, and the temperature was high.
Poor Leng Huan's limited knowledge about pregnant women came mainly from TV dramas. The only things that stuck with her were miscarriage, morning sickness, and the saying that sour foods meant a boy and spicy foods meant a girl. She knew nothing else.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until her belly was big to realize it. She sighed softly and squatted down... Her belly was so tight and uncomfortable that she had to change from squatting to sitting, and she even had to spread her legs to make room for her belly.
Knowing that there was nothing she could do about it and accepting it as fate, perhaps that was her destiny.
But life isn't that easy!
Oh dear, how could she have a child with a man?!
Even your friends won't do!
I felt inexplicably angry with nowhere to vent it.
Leng Huan glared at Fu Xun, who was standing under the boulder, then gently jumped down and walked forward. She wasn't pregnant!
Fu Xun, unaware of what was going on, continued to follow.
The two walked one after the other, several meters apart, stopping and starting for two days, still in the Red Rock Mountain.
Leng Huan was struggling with his thoughts while searching for Lava Valley. Strangely enough, in the original book, Long Aotian was being chased and ran into the valley in a panic, but now, even though he was searching seriously, he still couldn't find it!
Fu Xun had no idea what she was looking at. The Lava Valley was only marked with a general map, and there was no specific path to Red Rock Mountain, making it easy to get lost. "Senior sister, don't worry, we'll find it slowly."
I was thinking of avoiding this area, but now I realize there's no way around it. When I flew up to a certain place on my sword, a restriction appeared, prohibiting me from flying.
Leng Huan hummed in response, feeling very irritable. He wondered if his pregnancy was approaching, as his belly had started to swell rapidly in the past few days, and the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy had increased significantly, while his essence and blood were being consumed even faster.
However, she couldn't eat meat and relied on spiritual fruits to stay alive, which couldn't keep up with the energy she consumed.
Do other female cultivators experience this as well? Or is it because her bloodline is different?
Only meditation makes her feel a little better; as soon as she opens her eyes, she feels dizzy. The key issue is that the spiritual fruit is being consumed very quickly. If this continues, she will starve to death before the time is up.
Hilarious! The first pregnant female cultivator to starve to death.
I forced myself to eat chicken legs, and they didn't taste fishy. But I felt like throwing up as soon as I ate them. My stomach was rebelling. I touched my increasingly bulging belly. Could it be that this guy doesn't like to eat meat?
"Yue..." Suddenly, Leng Huan pushed Fu Xun away and ran to a corner to vomit.
Fu Xun: "..."
"Senior sister? Are you alright?" He walked over to help pat her back, but before he could even touch her, Leng Huan immediately took a step back.
"Don't come any closer! Give me water..."
Fu Xun pursed his lips and obediently stopped to hand over water. Leng Huan rinsed his mouth for a while to suppress the nausea, then rubbed his chest, realizing he shouldn't force himself.
-
They continued walking and stopped at the foot of a rocky mountain. Leng Huan pointed at the booklet, looked up at Fu Xun, and took a breath: "I want to go to the nearest Xiaozong Mountain Range. Fu Xun, let's split up. You continue to Lava Valley."
"No!" Fu Xun refused without even thinking. "Why do you insist that I go to Lava Valley? We should go together. Now that you have health problems, I need to protect you even more."
The Xiaozong Mountains are thousands of miles away, rich in resources, but also much more dangerous.
Leng Huan took a deep breath. The reason he was insisted on going to Lava Valley was because the divine sword couldn't fall into the hands of the demons; only he could retrieve it, and he would have a chance to obtain it!
She wanted to go with him, but she felt she wouldn't be able to make it that far.
Leng Huan was filled with despair. There were no healers or cultivators in this secret realm; no matter how she thought about it, she could only find a safe place to live…
Every day she felt the fetus absorbing her spiritual energy faster and faster. She was glad that her cultivation level was high now. If she only had a Golden Core, she could lie down and not fight.
This little thing is so annoying.
But Fu Xun didn't want to be separated. Feeling tired, Leng Huan found a rock to sit on, and Fu Xun followed closely behind.
The wind brings coolness from afar, taking away the silence here.
Fu Xun stared at her, and seeing her so quiet, he suddenly realized that Leng Huan's face seemed a little rounder, making her even more endearing. Thinking of her unusual behavior, he asked, "Leng Huan, have you been avoiding me lately?"
Leng Huan: "..."
“You haven’t been feeling well lately, let me take a look…” He took a step closer, bending down to place his hands on her shoulders, but Leng Huan nodded and admitted, “Yes, I have a health problem…”
Before Fu Xun could touch her shoulder, Leng Huan stretched out her slender wrist towards him as she spoke, the icy green bracelet sliding down a bit. She looked up at him and said, "See?"
This kind of thing can't be kept secret for long; Leng Huan just can't bring himself to say it.
Should I say, 'Junior brother, I'm pregnant, and it's yours?'
Or, 'Fu Xun, I'm pregnant...'
Just thinking about it made her so embarrassed she started picking her toes!
at this time.
Fu Xun looked down at her; her wrists were still slender, the icy green contrasting against her snow-white skin, revealing the bluish veins. Fu Xun's expression was solemn as he placed his fingers on her wrist.
The air was still for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed. He looked at Leng Huan in disbelief and shock, speechless for a long time.
Cultivators can use special methods and pulse-detection to check for signs of pregnancy. Fu Xun, still unsure, tried again, twice more. After confirming it was correct, he pulled Leng Huan up and hugged her tightly.
Only when he hugged her did he notice her rounded waist and abdomen under her loose clothes. He softened his grip, and after his initial surprise, a huge joy welled up in his heart.
"Sister..."
"You, you're pregnant..."
"You should have told me sooner... We're having a baby..." Her voice trembled slightly, her words were incoherent, and she was overwhelmed with excitement. Fu Xun rested his chin on her neck and hugged her tightly.
My heart softened terribly at that moment.
Leng Huan: "..."
Under a clear sky, amidst the desolate red rocks, only two figures leaned against each other.
Unexpectedly, he was so excited. After hesitating for a long time, Leng Huan slowly raised her hand to hug his waist, still feeling a little confused. Huh? Shouldn't she be the one who needs comforting?
After hugging her for a while, Fu Xun finally let go of her, took her hand and probed it with his spiritual energy to make sure she had no other problems before he felt at ease.
Now all her unusual behavior was explained, and she secretly cursed herself for being careless.
Fu Xun felt like he was in a dream when his long-cherished wish came true. He held Leng Huan and looked at her again and again, touching her repeatedly. Leng Huan, however, was lost in thought. She only came back to her senses when she felt a kick in her stomach. She looked down and saw Fu Xun curiously examining her stomach!
Leng Huan's face darkened, and he slapped his hand away. "Stop touching it! It keeps moving, not only is it absorbing my spiritual energy, but it also dares to kick me!"
Fu Xun reluctantly grabbed her small hand. "Senior sister, you've worked hard." Her hand was a bit fleshier and softer.
Leng Huan snorted and withdrew his hand. "Who said I was going to give birth to it..."
Fu Xun froze, "Senior Sister..."
Leng Huan lowered her head, refusing to look at him, and pushed him away, walking forward on her own. She felt a bit tired and hungry, and wasn't in good spirits. However, at least he knew about it, and having someone to share the burden made her feel a little better.
Fu Xun quickly took a few steps and grabbed her hand, thinking about how to persuade her. "The child is so cute. Their offspring will definitely be the best."
Fu Xun... Fu Xun wanted to rise in status through his son.
Carefully observing her expression, I asked, "Senior sister, you don't like children?"
Leng Huan said coldly, "I like it, but I won't have children."
Fu Xun: "..."
"Senior sister, I won't let you down. He's already so grown up, please give birth to him."
Leng Huan had mixed feelings. He stopped and looked at a clump of gray thorns. He touched his belly, which had grown bigger in less than half a month. The little life seemed to be growing very hard.
Honestly, she didn't want to have the baby, but honestly, she couldn't bear to; she was ultimately too soft-hearted.
Leng Huan turned to look at Fu Xun: "You really like children?"
She didn't refuse directly, and Fu Xunxin felt relieved, nodding and replying, "Yes, you gave birth to him."
"...Can you take care of children?"
"No, I'll learn."
"Do you know how to raise children?"
"Yes!" Images of his childhood with his parents flashed through his mind, and the fading memories suddenly became clear. Fu Xun nodded earnestly.
Unexpectedly, he was so certain. Leng Huan glanced at him in surprise, somewhat doubting the validity of the word "will".
She said "Oh," and spread her hands: "I don't know how to raise, care for, or teach a child. If I give birth, I'll have to take responsibility. If you're capable, you can do it, and besides..."
Leng Huan paused. Was this child raised in the Misty Immortal Sect or the Leng family?
"...Moreover, we're still in a secret realm, so giving birth is a bit difficult."
Fu Xun had already thought about this issue in that brief moment: "Let's find a suitable place to stay so you can rest and recover. I'll stay by your side."
Now all he wants is for Leng Huan to recover well and give birth to the child safely. He doesn't care about anything else. The secret realm center and the lava valley are not as important as her!
