Chapter 157 Mustard Seed Space, Familiar Temple

"So it was all you..." Yun Yun murmured, throwing herself into Gu He's arms, half-coquettishly.

Gu He gently patted her back and smiled, "Don't overthink it. Your place in my heart is irreplaceable."

This was probably the trouble of having many beauties~

Gu He kissed Yun Yun, "Don't be jealous anymore."

"Too much worry might cause wrinkles."

Yun Yun pursed her lips and said nothing, but she bumped her head against Gu He's chest and pinched the muscles under his robes.

"Then you must remember, I will always be your number one."

...

After finishing his conversation with Yun Yun, Gu He went to find Medusa.

He felt a bit strange about why Medusa's favorability hadn't moved.

The last time her favorability fluctuated was when he obtained the "Nine Yang Profound True Fire." It had to be said that Medusa's strategy rewards were very generous; absorbing the Heavenly Flame was exceptionally beneficial for strengthening his own cultivation.

With doubt in his mind, Gu He went to Medusa's room.

The beauty in purple robes sat on the bed. For some reason, she had partially opened her robes, revealing her fair belly which didn't yet show signs of pregnancy.

She had already sensed Gu He's aura, so she didn't dodge or block him, but she still quickly pulled her clothes back down.

"What's wrong?" Gu He walked over, sat down beside her, and gently embraced her.

Medusa lowered her head, a hint of shyness on her face, along with a subtle trace of melancholy.

"I've never been pregnant before. This feeling is so strange..."

Medusa felt that since she found out she was pregnant, her thorns had lessened significantly over the past few days.

Gu He held her. Medusa's waist was very slender yet resilient like taffy, making it very comfortable to hold. Embracing her from behind, Gu He could easily touch her belly.

"There's a saying that pregnancy changes the hormones in the human body, which is equivalent to changing your Dou Qi circulation, so it makes your mood complex and volatile at times."

In modern times, this surging complex emotion had another name: postpartum depression.

Gu He knew that with Medusa's strong-willed personality, the possibility of postpartum depression was slim, but he couldn't help but care—after all, she was his woman, wasn't she?

He said seriously, "But you don't need to worry, I will be with you."

"Tell me whenever you feel sad. You are the child's mother, and I am the child's father. I have an obligation to be responsible for both of you."

Medusa listened intently. She was tall, but at this moment in Gu He's arms, she still seemed like a delicate bird.

The source of warmth embracing her from behind told her: she would no longer be alone.

She had Gu He, and she had the second heartbeat within her.

Two wooden stands stood by the bed, each holding a pot of purple peonies. Medusa had brought them from the small city in her storage ring.

At this moment, the faint fragrance of peonies wafted over in waves, rich and pleasant.

Medusa took a deep breath, the previous melancholy dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She tilted her head slightly and kissed Gu He's chin.

[Ding! Target Medusa's favorability toward the host has increased by 20%; current favorability is 65%.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Spiritual Artifact "Mustard Seed Cultivation Space (Temple Version)"!]

[Mustard Seed Cultivation Space (Temple Version): Modeled after Medusa's Divine Temple, it is a mustard seed space that can accommodate up to ten people. Inside, Spiritual Qi is abundant, and the Cultivation speed is accelerated. It is a Holy Land for experts to Cultivate and gain insights.]

[host's current bound targets: Medusa, Zi Yan. Available strategy target slots: 1]

Hmm? Gu He was momentarily dazed as the reward arrived in his hand. This mustard seed space was directly attached to the black storage ring on his index finger. Gu He probed it with his Divine Sense for a moment; although he couldn't see everything clearly, he could sense that the place was very large.

At the moment he received the reward, Medusa finished her kiss and leaned into Gu He's embrace.

Neither of them spoke. Gu He suddenly remembered something and took out two large red pomegranates from his storage ring specifically for food.

He took a plate from the small table by Medusa's bed. With a burst of Dou Qi, the pomegranates split open, and the plump seeds scattered onto the plate like blooming flowers.

Gu He didn't just give them to Medusa; instead, he fed them to her bit by bit.

"Is it sweet? That little girl Zi Yan brought them back from outside."

"She said that if she finds anything delicious in the future, she'll bring some back for everyone to taste."

Medusa extended her red lips for a light lick, bit down with her teeth, and chuckled, "Heh~"

"She still remembers us? She probably only thought of it after she stuffed herself full~"

Gu He continued to feed Medusa. The bright red juice burst in her mouth, and Medusa smiled happily.

This Beauty Pomegranate was indeed delicious—no seeds, and a clear, sweet taste.

Gu He fed Medusa bit by bit, then took out a handkerchief to carefully wipe her fingers clean.

Medusa gave a charming laugh, "Is such care necessary?"

Gu He gently kissed the corner of her lips and leaned close to her ear, "I have always been devoted to you."

"There's a surprise after the pomegranates are finished."

A look of confusion appeared in Medusa's eyes, "A surprise? What is it?"

Gu He smiled and said, "Based on your Divine Temple in the Tagor Desert, I have constructed a mustard seed space where people can enter to Cultivate... Do you want to go in and see?"

His voice was gentle, and Medusa felt her heart skip a beat, as if the child in her belly was also responding.

"Alright!"

Medusa lightly grasped Gu He's large hand.

In the next instant, she was pulled into the mustard seed space by Gu He.

It was the first time for both of them to enter this cultivation space.

This space had a night sky twinkling with stars, and a moon that radiated a scorching brilliance like the sun, illuminating the desert and the temple below with bright light.

There was no sunlight, but light was everywhere. The air was also filled with a faint fragrance, like the scent of the purple wild peonies that Medusa longed for.

In the center of the space stood a massive Divine Temple. This temple was clearly built from the purest white stone. Unlike Medusa's temple, it was also inlaid with various precious-looking gemstones.

"It's so similar..." Medusa murmured softly.

"It looks like home, right?" Gu He asked naturally. After all, it really did resemble the Tagor Desert.

Although the Tagor Desert was hot and remote, it held many of Medusa's memories.

Medusa slowly shook her head, "It's similar, yet different..."

She suddenly said in a soft voice, "Perhaps, home is wherever you are."

Before Gu He could snap out of it, Medusa's purple figure had already started moving. She walked into the white Divine Temple, wanting to examine it closely.

Gu He naturally accompanied her. The two entered a room together. The room had no decorations. Medusa directly found a high platform and sat cross-legged to try Cultivating, wanting to see the effects of the mustard seed space Gu He mentioned.
