Shui Bing'er looked at the faint but unmistakable joy on Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress's faces. She chuckled lightly and said:
"Could it be that some heaven-shaking good news has happened? Why do both brother and sister look so happy? And that phenomenon just now, I think it must be related to you two…"
Ye Lingling also leaned over from the side. Although she didn't say anything, the curiosity in her eyes was obvious. Clearly, she was very interested and concerned about this matter.
Shen Han Yu rubbed the heads of the two girls one after another, then rubbed the face of Shen Xin Yu who was staring blankly beside them. Only then did he speak with a slightly playful tone:
"Why don't you all guess for yourselves? You've been with me for quite a while now, so you should have some preparation for these kinds of things…"
Shui Bing'er was slightly stunned. Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress's strange attitudes made her suddenly have a bold guess. Ye Lingling also tightly pursed her lips, as if she had already guessed it.
At this moment, only Shen Liu Yu and Shen Xin Yu looked at each other in confusion. Then the two of them, as if they had finally found their group, excitedly huddled together and began whispering.
Shen Han Yu looked at the two helplessly, momentarily not knowing what to say.
The smile at the corner of Snow Empress's mouth had never faded. Perhaps because her greatest wish over the years had finally been fulfilled, the cold, frosty aura around her melted away in an instant. Her entire person became much gentler. In other words, the current Snow Empress seemed to be glowing with the halo of motherhood—kind and warm.
Shui Bing'er covered her lips in surprise and said:
"Could it be…"
Snow Empress's gaze also turned toward her. Shui Bing'er hesitated for a moment but continued:
"Snow Empress' sister is pregnant…"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell into brief silence.
In the quiet atmosphere, Shen Liu Yu fiercely pinched the soft flesh on Shen Xin Yu's arm. Immediately after, a heart-piercing pain came from her own waist. Both of them cried out in pain at the same time and quickly let go of each other. The expression of having found their kindred spirit disappeared completely, replaced by resentment and astonishment.
Ye Lingling also instantly grabbed Shui Bing'er's arm. Her gaze was somewhat dazed as she looked at Snow Empress's abdomen, her consciousness momentarily blank.
Snow Empress only smiled gently at this. The smile in her eyes lingered, and her tone became rare and gentle.
"Indeed, that's correct…"
Snow Empress's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. It was as if a thunderbolt had struck in everyone's hearts, causing goosebumps to rise uncontrollably.
Moments later, it was surprisingly Shen Liu Yu who reacted first. She pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing and saying:
"I'm going to be an aunt! So suddenly… Wait, no, I'm fucking going to be an aunt! Holy shit, holy shit, I'm really going to be an aunt…"
As she spoke, Shen Liu Yu directly grabbed Qiu Ruo Shui's shoulders beside her and shook her wildly.
Qiu Ruo Shui looked at Shen Liu Yu with a bewildered face. It took her quite a while to shake off Shen Liu Yu's hands. She shook her dizzy head and said:
"Shen Liu Yu! Don't go crazy on me! You're going to be an aunt, so why are you bullying me?! I didn't offend you…"
Shen Liu Yu patted her own face, looked somewhat dazed at Snow Empress, and then rushed straight toward her.
"Sister-in-law, hug! Let me see my precious nephew or niece!"
The next moment, with a thud, Shen Liu Yu flew back very smoothly, landing on her butt and sliding all the way to Shen Xin Yu's feet.
Shen Xin Yu kicked Shen Liu Yu with some disgust. Shen Liu Yu raised her head and glared at her, but wasn't angry at all. She patted the dust off her butt and nimbly got up.
Shen Han Yu looked at his silly biological sister and said helplessly:
"Your sister-in-law is now pregnant. Don't be so reckless. If I catch you doing this again, I don't mind sparring with you like when we were kids…"
Shen Liu Yu immediately got goosebumps all over and hurriedly waved her hands, saying:
"No need!"
"I still prefer my little nephew or niece more. Stinky brother, stay away from me, or I'll tell dad and mom that you're bullying me…"
Shen Han Yu glanced at his dumb sister and didn't say anything more. He simply pulled the still-dazed Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling into his arms.
"Don't overthink it. You are all my beloveds. In the future… You will all have this day eventually. At that time…"
Shen Han Yu's voice grew softer and softer, but Shui Bing'er and Ye Lingling's cheeks became redder and redder. Finally, they broke free from Shen Han Yu's embrace. Shui Bing'er said softly:
"There are so many people here. What nonsense are you saying? Snow Empress' sister being pregnant is a great joy. No matter what, we will all be the child's mothers in the future. Besides, after being together for so long, do we look like that kind of petty people…"
Ye Lingling also nodded in agreement. Then she slowly walked to Snow Empress's side, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said softly:
"Sister, you can come find me in the future. The life energy of the Nine-Hearted Begonia should be very beneficial for the child's growth and development. Anyway, I'm usually idle with nothing to do. It would be better to prepare for the baby in advance…"
Snow Empress rubbed her cheek and nodded with a light smile.
"Master, master, what about me?"
Shen Xin Yu suddenly popped out from the side and said somewhat aggrievedly.
Shen Han Yu helplessly rubbed her cheek and said:
"You are all my wings. I can't lack even one…"
Everyone collectively rolled their eyes, feeling that Shen Han Yu's words sounded a bit strange.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's figure suddenly walked out from the side. He looked at Snow Empress and Shen Han Yu with a slightly complicated expression and said:
"Congratulations. Having offspring and inheritance, this life can be considered complete…"
Shen Han Yu nodded. He roughly understood the source of Qian Daoliu's complicated expression. After a pause, he suddenly said:
"Tang Chen has already left the Asura God's trial. He was parasitized and controlled by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King in the Slaughter Capital for decades. After breaking free, with the Asura God's help, he temporarily regained his vitality and then went to Sea God Island. He now has a daughter with Bo Saixi…"
"Bo Saixi used a secret technique to bind her own life force completely with his to keep him alive. If not for the Sea God's blessing, they would probably be close to running out of oil and lamp now…"
After Shen Han Yu finished speaking, he originally thought Qian Daoliu's emotions would fluctuate violently. But after a slight daze, Qian Daoliu only smiled lightly and shook his head. It was as if he had expected this long ago. A faint smile and relief even appeared in his eyes.
"Those matters have passed long ago. Perhaps I should have realized them earlier, but I was only deceiving myself and unwilling to believe it. The sea changes, things remain but people change, mountains and rivers are vast. Perhaps we shouldn't have been entangled in these trivial matters of the past. It's just that I woke up too late and wasted too much of my youth. If I had been able to think it through back then, perhaps many things would have been different…"
After saying this, Qian Daoliu looked into the distance and sighed softly again.
"Bo Saixi and I share the same fate. I once thought this was a special affinity between us. Now it seems, where is this affinity? This is clearly a shackle—a shackle that even if we knew the outcome, we would still accept without hesitation…"
"Will her result with Tang Chen be any better? As for that child, perhaps she will be the best answer…"
Shen Han Yu chuckled lightly and spoke again:
"It's a good thing to be able to think it through. Being trapped in the quagmire of emotions is definitely not a good thing. Emotions are a double-edged sword. They can be the ladder for us to become stronger, or they can be the obstacle that keeps us stagnant. It's a pity you realized it too late. At this stage, although it doesn't have much effect, it at least lets you have one less regret and gives you one more insight into this world…"
Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement and then said again:
"The bloodlines of you two are rare in this world, so powerful that even this old man feels ashamed. The child born from the fusion of your two bloodlines will surely achieve accomplishments in the future that will not be inferior to your parents. The stronger the bloodline and strength, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. This is a shackle determined by heaven. Yet you two have bloodline inheritance at this age. This must also be the arrangement of fate. From now on, your life will surely be peaceful and joyful…"
Both Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress could hear that Qian Daoliu's blessings were sincere. Setting aside some past flaws, Qian Daoliu was indeed a qualified senior. After thinking through some regrets from his youth, the blessings he gave were not flowery, but every word struck the hearts of the two, making people resonate involuntarily.
While the few were talking, Gu Yuena also arrived at the place with Qian Ren Xue.
Perhaps realizing what she had done last night, Qian Ren Xue kept her head lowered the whole time. From the side, her earlobes were still somewhat flushed, obviously not knowing how to face the two.
The emotional outburst was inevitable. Moreover, it was emotions that Qian Ren Xue had accumulated since childhood. Her loss of control was understandable. Compared to Bibi Dong's extremism, Qian Ren Xue was undoubtedly much better. Her personality might not be perfect, but at least she could see her own heart clearly and dared to change the status quo. Just for this point, she was much better than that crazy woman Bibi Dong.
Gu Yuena looked at Snow Empress's abdomen with a somewhat strange expression. She had heard the previous discussion. She was inevitably a little surprised in her heart. According to her estimation, with Shen Han Yu's bloodline that could rank near the top even in the entire God Realm, plus Snow Empress's heaven-born and earth-nurtured bloodline of a heavenly spirit, the combination of these two powerful bloodlines wanting to give birth to offspring was no different from two boars giving birth to piglets. Yet such a tiny probability was actually encountered by Shen Han Yu and Snow Empress…
Thinking to the end, Gu Yuena inexplicably felt a bit envious of Snow Empress. Clearly the other party's strength and status were inferior to hers, but the emotions on the other party still silently tugged at her nerves. She was the Silver Dragon King, but that didn't mean she didn't have a maiden's heart. Once upon a time, she had also fantasized about how earth-shakingly stunning and powerful her other half would be. But later, forced by reality, this idea was slowly shelved. That didn't mean she had lost this aspect of emotion. On the contrary, she had always had expectations for this kind of human emotion, which had clearly become part of her body and was inseparable.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena suddenly spoke:
"The life aura of this child has just formed. I feel vigorous vitality. Moreover, the combined bloodlines of the two are too terrifying. The energy this child needs for growth is enormous. If it only relies on your own supply, I'm afraid by the time this child is born, you will have been sucked dry…"
These words were undoubtedly directed at Snow Empress.
Snow Empress was slightly stunned after hearing this and subconsciously touched her abdomen.
What Gu Yuena said was actually correct. Powerful bloodline beings require extremely terrifying energy when growing. Although Snow Empress was already a quasi-god expert, she was still barely sufficient when facing the energy needed by her own child. This was an unavoidable fact.
Gu Yuena was silent for a while again, then took out a piece of green metal filled with life aura from her space and sent it to Snow Empress.
"According to my estimation, this piece of Life Gold can provide the life energy needed for this child's development, but it is limited to life energy only. You can leave the other matters to Shen Han Yu to handle. Additionally, I still need to remind you: during the child's development process, your main body must not suffer serious injuries. The more powerful the bloodline existence, the harder it is to give birth to descendants, and their offspring are also much more fragile during development compared to ordinary beings' children. This is the rule's restriction on the strong. This is the first time for both of you facing this kind of matter. Take care of yourselves…"
Gu Yuena suddenly felt she was being a bit talkative. Clearly this child had nothing to do with her, yet she still rambled on about a bunch of things, both useful and useless, as if she were reviewing this knowledge herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena suddenly stiffened all over.
Why did she remember these things so clearly? What exactly had she been thinking about all day? At this thought, Gu Yuena quickly purged all those things in her mind that made her blush and feel embarrassed. Only then did her surging emotions slowly calm down.
Snow Empress accepted the not-small piece of Life Gold and then solemnly thanked Gu Yuena.
Although their Extreme North did not have much recognition for this so-called Soul Beast Co-Lord, the other party's status and age were there, making her their senior. Moreover, the other party was currently helping them, so a certain level of respect was naturally needed.
Meanwhile, Shen Han Yu had already begun thinking about the child's growth.
Life Gold could provide vast and pure life energy—this he didn't need to worry about.
But other things would require him to plan himself. Did the child's growth only need life energy?
Of course, that would be the case without conditions. But Shen Han Yu and the others' conditions were obviously far more than that. Before the child was born, he would do everything possible to provide more treasures beneficial to the essence of life for him and Snow Empress's crystallization. With blood and family connected, Shen Han Yu finally experienced the hardships of being a parent…
