121: Chapter 120 Is Zi Yan pregnant?

Ling Yuan: "You are indeed more capable than your brother, actually managing to develop the Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan to this extent in such a short time, dominating the entire Beast Region."

There was no hidden meaning in his words; he was simply praising Yao Ming.

Yao Ming did not get carried away and quickly expressed his loyalty: "Master, you flatter me. The Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan is where it is today entirely thanks to your support and protection. Without you, there would be no Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan as it is now. This subordinate guarantees that no matter how our clan develops in the future, we will always obey your commands and will never dare to have any disloyal thoughts."

Ling Yuan believed these words, as Yao Ming still had the mark he left deep within his Soul, and he dared not do anything out of line.

"Continue to increase control over the Beast Region; the resources here are still very abundant."

Ling Yuan did not intend to manage the Beast Region himself.

The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan would not be moving back for a short while, so letting the Nine Serenities Earth-Underworld Python Clan control the Beast Region and turning over the harvested resources to the Ling Clan was a good arrangement.

Ling Yuan felt this was quite good.

...

Spirit Realm.

After finishing her Cultivate, Zi Yan was very unhappy to learn that Ling Yuan had taken Medusa out with him.

"He would rather take that snake out than take me!"

Zi Yan didn't have many friends in the Spirit Realm, so she could only go to Mother Ling to complain.

"Mother, we have only been married for a short while, and he is already like this. You must stand up for me!"

Ling Ruo had always loved Zi Yan's lively and straightforward personality, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law usually had a good relationship, often chatting together.

However, most of the time, it was Zi Yan pestering Ling Ruo to ask about Ling Yuan's past.

It was rare to see her coming to complain with jealousy like this today.

In this situation, Mother Ling naturally tried to appease both sides.

On one hand, she spoke well of her son, saying he must have had important matters to attend to.

Afterward, she added that the brat was indeed wrong to be flirting around, and when he returned, she would definitely teach him a lesson for her and vent her anger.

Ling Ruo had thought that saying this would calm Zi Yan down and the matter would be over.

But unexpectedly, Zi Yan was still frowning, appearing even more troubled and anxious.

She held Ling Ruo's hand, her voice soft and filled with a hint of uncertainty:

"Mother, do you think... did my husband think I am too clingy?"

This unusual behavior from Zi Yan made Ling Ruo instantly realize something was wrong.

She was all too familiar with this state of anxiety and emotional instability.

Back when she was pregnant with Ling Yuan, she was the same; overthinking every little thing, her emotions fluctuating, and it took Ling Mie a long time to coax her back to normal.

A thought suddenly arose in Ling Ruo's heart: Could it be... that Zi Yan is pregnant?

Thinking that she might be about to become a grandmother, a wave of excitement instantly surged in Ling Ruo's heart.

"Zi Yan, have you carefully checked your body recently? Do you feel any discomfort or anything different from usual?"

Zi Yan was baffled by the question, blinked, and said with a confused look: "Mother, my body is fine; there is no discomfort."

She was a Dou Sheng expert; what could possibly be wrong with her body?

Seeing that Zi Yan didn't understand her implication, Ling Ruo didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her guess, her tone filled with uncontrollable excitement:

"Mother isn't saying your health is poor; I suspect... you are pregnant."

"Preg... pregnant!"

Zi Yan froze completely, her mind buzzing, her eyes wide.

After a long while, the shock slowly faded, and an indescribable joy and excitement instantly swept through her entire body.

"Is it true, Mother? Do I really have my husband's child?"

Mother Ling was also afraid that Zi Yan might be happy for nothing, so she quickly managed expectations.

"I am only suspecting; whether it is true or not, we will only know after an examination."

Although Qi existed on the Fighting Qi Continent and many people could inspect their own bodies internally.

One could detect whether they were pregnant or not.

But if it was a very early stage of pregnancy, it would indeed be hard to detect without careful examination.

Mother Ling carefully used her Soul to examine Zi Yan's belly.

A moment later, Ling Ruo opened her eyes wide, a radiant smile instantly blooming on her face, her eyes filled with undisguised joy, and her tone was certain:

"That's right, you are indeed pregnant! There is a faint aura of life in your womb, and it is very stable. Judging by the fetus's condition, you have been pregnant for less than a month."

If Mother Ling were not a Heavenly Realm Soul, she might not have been able to discover it.

Confirming that she was about to become a grandmother, Mother Ling was overjoyed.

She stood up, ready to share this good news with Ling Mie.

After receiving the definitive answer from Mother Ling, Zi Yan was stunned for a long time.

She usually pestered Ling Yuan, always talking about giving birth to a little Dragon for him, saying she wanted to have a child of her own with him, but now that it was confirmed, she felt it was exceptionally unreal, as if she were dreaming.

She looked down at her lower abdomen, subconsciously raising her hand to stroke it gently, afraid of disturbing the little life inside.

Zi Yan felt she was not mature, and Ling Yuan often laughed and said she had a childish personality.

Yet, such a person as herself was actually going to have a child, to have a child with Ling Yuan, to have a little Dragon that belonged to the two of them...

The confusion and feeling of unreality gradually dissipated, leaving only pure, unreserved ecstasy.

Her love for Ling Yuan was undisguised.

And being able to give birth to Ling Yuan's child, being able to continue their love, was something she looked forward to even more.

Zi Yan couldn't wait to share this good news with Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan had her dragon-phoenix essence blood, so she could find Ling Yuan using that.

However, her little plan was seen through at a glance by Mother Ling, who quickly grabbed her.

Now that Zi Yan was pregnant, how could Mother Ling let her run around?

"Zi Yan, behave yourself; I will go and summon that brat back right now!"

Now that Zi Yan was pregnant, Mother Ling treasured her dearly.

"Mother, even if I am pregnant, I am not that fragile."

Zi Yan thought about it again; waiting for Ling Yuan to return and giving him a big surprise seemed pretty good too.

"I wonder what expression my husband will have when he hears the news of my pregnancy later."

...

Ling Yuan had just toured the Beast Region for a while when he received a summons from his mother.

Ling Yuan was a bit confused; this was the first time his mother had summoned him.

His first reaction was: Could something have happened to the Ling Clan?

Had the Hun Clan come to cause trouble?

But with Zhu Kun, a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, guarding the place, nothing should have happened.

The Hun Clan never played by the rules, and Hun Tiandi was capable of anything.

Thinking this, Ling Yuan returned to the Spirit Realm at top speed.

Upon arriving at the Spirit Realm, the bad things he had guessed did not happen; the Spirit Realm was peaceful.

This made Ling Yuan heave a sigh of relief.

Arriving at Mother Ling's residence, Ling Yuan discovered that Zi Yan was also there.

"Mother, did you summon me back because something happened?"

"There is indeed something, and it is a great piece of good news." After confirming Zi Yan was pregnant, Mother Ling's smile had not stopped.

"Zi Yan is pregnant!"
