"Thank you very much then!"
Gu Pengyou felt very grateful in her heart. Although she had mentioned this matter casually before, since her second uncle brought it up in his letter, she thought it was better to ask.
"No need! Weāre not outsiders."
Chen Xuan smiled at her, his gaze very penetrating.
"Iāll be leaving first!"
Gu Pengyouās delicate face turned crimson, and she hurriedly left the room.
Once outside, she touched her flushed face.
"Is it about time?"
She muttered to herself inside.
"Hahaha...."
Chen Xuan burst into laughter after hearing this sentence.
"Ahāā"
Gu Pengyou let out a shy sound and ran away as if fleeing.
This made Chen Xuan even more pleased with himself.
"Ripe now, almost ready to eat."
He shook his head, very pleased.
Having known that it wouldnāt surpass the third level of the Dao Realm, he wasnāt as worried, which was also why he had just been in the mood to tease Gu Pengyou.
However...
There were too many mysteries involved, maybe catching someone from Hidden Kill could help unravel what was really happening.
He had some guesses, but... they were just guesses.
...
The next day, Chen Xuan shared this news with Qin Ke.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Iāll trouble you, Master."
Qin Ke showed a smile on his face.
"Alright, just focus on your cultivation. I shall take my leave first."
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes, gave him some advice, and left the Three Judicial Departments.
"Cultivate, cultivate!"
Qin Ke muttered, knowing that only by truly becoming strong himself would it be genuine. Depending on his Master all the time, though somewhat pleasant, always felt a bit awkward.
...
As time went by day by day, Chen Xuanās life also began to fall into a routine.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
The atmosphere in the Princeās Mansion had also become tense.
Because Lan MengāEr was about to give birth.
Dinner!
"Is everything ready?"
Chen Xuan asked Ning Xin.
"Everything is ready. The best midwife from Moran City has moved into the Princeās Mansion, and several renowned doctors are also on standby!"
"There definitely wonāt be any problems."
Ning Xin replied.
"Alright!"
Chen Xuan nodded, as all matters of the Princeās Mansion were managed by her, making things much easier for him.
He then gently touched Lan MengāErās round belly, "Now listen carefully, make it smooth, donāt make things hard for your mother!"
Back in the Human Realm, Xiaochenāan had been a bit troublesome.
For some reason, he felt that the little one in Lan MengāErās belly probably wouldnāt be too well-behaved either.
"Donāt scare him!"
Lan MengāEr patted his hand, very unsatisfied.
This was her beloved, no one was allowed to threaten him, not even Chen Xuan.
"Alright, alright, nothing can be said."
Chen Xuan felt quite helpless.
"This is our Princeās Mansionās eldest son, of course, you canāt say anything."
Ning Xin chimed in from the side.
"Little baby, donāt be afraid, you have three moms, after all."
Luan Ying said, raising her eyebrows towards Chen Xuan, quite arrogantly.
"Just you wait tonight."
Chen Xuan glared at her and conveyed through a sound transmission.
Young lady, so arrogant despite being clumsy. If not disciplined periodically, she wouldnāt know who the real boss was.
...
"So arrogant, werenāt you very cocky last night? Why are you begging for mercy now?"
"Slap, slap!"
With each heavy hit, Chen Xuan didnāt forget to scold her.
"I was wrong!"
Luan Ying turned her head, looking pitifully at him.
"Hmph!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, refused to look at her, and delivered another heavy blow.
Beside them, Ning Xin was watching the show.
"Sister...."
Seeing that pleading with him was futile, she turned to Ning Xin.
Butāā
"I didnāt see anything."
Ning Xin turned her head away, not wanting to see. Saying anything at this critical time would get her in trouble.
For some reason, Chen Xuan had been terrifyingly strong recently.
Even she couldnāt compete with him.
Half an hour later.
Chen Xuan roared and finally ended it.
Luan Ying, on the other hand, didnāt have the strength to move a finger.
Chen Xuan leaned lazily, looking proudly at his handiwork.
Sometimes he found it puzzling, clearly, he was the one exerting effort, so why were they so exhausted?
Could this be whatās known as the conservation of energy?
No!
It should be said that the force is mutual.
However much effort he expended, they reciprocated accordingly.
Thatās why it was like this.
"Hmm!"
Chen Xuan nodded secretly, that must be it.
After a long while, Luan Ying finally regained her strength.
Hugging Ning Xin, she said, "Neither of us can match him now. Shouldnāt we find someone else to join?"
"You mean?"
"Sister Gu, itās been such a long time, surely āsomeoneā is getting anxious, right?"
Luan Ying emphasized the word āsomeoneā on purpose.
And her gaze drifted towards Chen Xuan.
Ning Xin muttered seriously, "Yeah, we should add someone."
Then she smiled at Chen Xuan, "What do you think, āsomeoneā?"
"Hahaha...."
The two women burst out laughing simultaneously.
"Cough, cough, cough...."
Chen Xuan pretended to be serious, "Truly, the Emperor is not as worried as the eunuch."
As he spent more and more time with Gu Pengyou, their relationship had also started to heat up.
However, no one had spoken up yet.
She felt embarrassed, after all, sheās a woman.
And Chen Xuan planned to bring this up after Lan MengāEr gave birth.
...
Three days later!
"Why hasnāt it been born yet, itās been a whole night."
Chen Xuan waited anxiously outside the door.
Last night, Lan MengāEr suddenly started feeling pain.
As he had anticipated, the little guy was also quite a handful.
"Ah~~~"
Lan MengāErās cries hadnāt stopped.
"Donāt worry, sheāll be fine."
