Chapter 156 Yun Yun's Awkwardness

"Eat a bit," Xiao Yi Xian said.

When she was cooking the porridge, she had already realized that as the Queen of the Snake-People Clan, Medusa's Physique went without saying.

She shouldn't get sick, so it could only be...

Pregnant.

Xiao Yi Xian couldn't describe her own feelings; she felt a bit complicated yet also a bit expectant.

There was no jealousy; she just wanted to see what Medusa and Teacher Gu He's baby would look like—whether it would resemble the mother or the father, and whether it would be a boy or a girl.

Medusa finished the porridge, and Gu He told Xiao Yi Xian about the matter. Xiao Yi Xian gave a "just as I thought" look and nodded with a smile.

"Then in the future, will the child have to call me Auntie?"

Gu He also laughed. At this moment, he felt a real sense of being a father.

He had transmigrated into Gu He's body, but because of the System, this body of Gu He's had long been invisibly reshaped to be more compatible with his modern body.

Therefore, the pregnancy Medusa was carrying now was undoubtedly his, Gu He's child, and had absolutely nothing to do with the Gu He from the original story.

"In the future, they will definitely call you Little Auntie. Perhaps they will even follow Qing Lin and call you Sister Xian."

Medusa had already finished most of the porridge. The porridge Xiao Yi Xian cooked was very thick and emitted a fresh fragrance, especially those vegetables; although they looked ordinary, they were emerald green and succulent. The faint vegetable aroma made her appetite soar.

She put down the spoon, looking at Gu He with eyes that held an undisguised tenderness like starlight: "Gu He, do you think the child is a boy or a girl?"

As someone with a modern soul, Gu He naturally had no gender bias and simply said: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are our treasure."

"I would rather follow your heart; whatever you hope for is what it will be."

Medusa felt the faint pulse of life in her belly and couldn't help but touch it. Then she picked up the spoon again and started drinking the porridge.

"Then I hope it's a cute little girl."

...

After knowing Medusa was pregnant, Gu He set about preparing to refine the heavenly soul blood fusion pill.

The heavenly soul blood fusion pill was an Advanced prenatal pill. Refining it was very troublesome, and the required medicinal ingredients were complex and diverse. However, Gu He had previously received a System reward—a space within the reward that was very suitable for growing herbs and had an amplification effect. Gu He had already accumulated many basic materials through it.

Before long, the heavenly soul blood fusion pill was successfully refined by Gu He's hands.

He watched Medusa take it with clear water before finally feeling at ease.

The powerhouses of the Fighting Qi Continent had a common rule: it was difficult to conceive.

It wasn't simple for powerhouses to give birth to powerhouses; otherwise, if a Dou Sheng had eighteen babies in one birth, the entire continent's combat power System would collapse.

So Medusa's pregnancy was somewhat beyond Gu He's expectations. After all, they were very powerful, and the chance of pregnancy was extremely small.

Of course, this might also be a testament to Medusa's "good pregnancy" Physique.

Good luck following one after another, nothing more than this.

Gu He estimated that whether Medusa gave birth to a boy or a girl, the child would likely be at the Dou Zong Realm upon birth. Moreover, because of Medusa, the child would also carry the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python Bloodline.

However, Gu He also had his worries—

For example, Medusa's favorability.

He didn't quite understand; they even had a child together, so why hadn't her favorability moved a bit? It hadn't decreased, but it hadn't increased either. When would he be able to reach 71%?

With Medusa pregnant, Gu He naturally paused his journey and stayed in Holy Pill City. He informed the other women of the matter. Among them, Yun Yun felt a bit awkward; for the past few days, she had locked herself in her room and hadn't come out except to eat.

Gu He had peeked at her secretly; she was always reading books, and no abnormalities could be seen.

"Meow, meow, meow~"

When Gu He used his Fighting Qi to manifest a cute calico kitten that jumped through the window onto her dressing table, she raised her face from the ancient book. Only then did Gu He see her fragile, glass-like eyes.

Usually generous, decent, elegant, and noble, Yun Yun, with her Phoenix hair ornament disheveled, had red eyes full of grievance. Looking at the calico kitten manifested by Gu He, she burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu..."

The kitten jumped onto the desk and approached Yun Yun. Yun Yun couldn't help but pat the kitten's head, finally crying out loud.

"Tell me, does he still have me in his heart?"

"Wuwuwu, tell me."

Yun Yun completely lost her calm and self-restraint in front of Gu He. Her cultivation was much weaker than Gu He's, so she couldn't tell that the kitten was manifested by Gu He to comfort her. She completely let herself go, holding the kitten's small head with both hands, feeling the kitten's playful movements, and said to herself:

"There should be, right, little cat?"

"Little cat, tell me, is there a Medicinal Pill in this world that can make someone pregnant...? No, no, no, I shouldn't think such things; this kind of thing is a natural law..."

Yun Yun suddenly shook her head, negating herself.

"How can I think like that?"

Though she said so, Yun Yun still felt a bit depressed in her heart. She actually really wanted to have a child with Gu He, but unfortunately, it seemed their fate hadn't arrived yet.

Gu He should be in Medusa's room right now, caring for her and the child, right?

Yun Yun thought of this the next second.

A flash of loneliness passed through her eyes, and her surroundings were tinged with a visible sense of isolation. She hooked the kitten's head with her index finger; the soft fur under its chin felt exceptionally good to touch, and the cat's expression of enjoyment was also very cute.

"Meow~"

Yun Yun gave a bitter smile, and while smiling, she suddenly noticed a figure on the paper window of the door.

The figure was tall but standing sideways. Additionally, her whole soul and mood were focused on the cat and the thoughts in her heart, so she hadn't noticed for a moment.

Yun Yun immediately guessed who the figure was.

"Gu He!"

Yun Yun softly called out his name.

Gu He pushed the door open and entered. He was wearing a water-blue robe with a dark waist sash, and the hem of the robe was embroidered with wave patterns. The color of the fabric was very eye-catching. After seeing it, Yun Yun's mood improved slightly; after all, bright colors are not only striking but also produce dopamine, making one feel happy.

"You... why are you here?" Yun Yun's face went blank for a second, followed by a wave of embarrassment.

He couldn't have heard all those nonsensical things she said, right??

She was just talking nonsense!

Yun Yun put both hands under the table, clutching the edge of her skirt, her face tense, lightly biting her red lips, feeling a bit mortified.

Gu He walked over. Instead of sitting down, he bent his tall, pine-like waist into an arc and pressed his lips against Yun Yun's, a kiss falling upon her.

"I have always been here."

Gu He seemed to sigh softly, his gaze exceptionally tender.

He reached out his large hand toward the calico kitten. The kitten let out a "meow" and burrowed into his hand. In the next instant, it turned into a stream of golden Fighting Qi and dissipated in the air.

The kitten was actually transformed by Gu He! It might even have been transformed by Gu He to comfort her!

After realizing this, Yun Yun felt her heart like a vibrating chime that had been struck!
