14: Chapter 14 is all her fault.

When Yuan Chen arrived at the bridal chamber, Luo Xinyi was sitting elegantly on the wedding bed.

When he lifted her bridal veil, she gave a shy smile.

“Brother Yuan Chen, you're here?”

Having spent some time together recently, the two had already grown somewhat familiar with each other.

Looking at his junior before him, Yuan Chen couldn't help but curse himself for being an old shameless bastard.

Just a few days ago, she was still calling him Little Ancestor, and now she had become his wife.

But man, it really was wonderful!

It was all to increase his strength and protect his family.

Yuan Chen deceived himself over and over again.

“It's getting late, Brother Yuan Chen. We should turn in early too!”

Luo Xinyi walked up behind Yuan Chen and slowly helped him remove his outer robe.

Yuan Chen suddenly grabbed her small hand.

It was ice-cold.

“I'll do it myself!”

Before long, the two rolled into a bundle.

Early the next morning, Yuan Chen opened the window, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

To be honest, last night was the most comfortable of his three marriages.

During the first two, he was always worried that they would revert to their original forms in their excitement.

Well...

He was still a bit unaccustomed to that.

But Luo Xinyi belonged to the Human Race, so he didn't have to worry about that at all.

Except...

Yuan Chen fell into deep thought.

The fixed-target pills from last night had actually all failed.

This probability was truly elusive.

As he was thinking, his Divine Sense inadvertently swept over Xue Lin's figure in the neighboring courtyard.

She was holding a strangely shaped child in her arms.

After a moment's thought, Yuan Chen leaped straight over the courtyard wall.

He said with a smile,

“I've really troubled you these past few days, Sister Xue Lin.”

The child in Xue Lin's arms was, of course, Yuan Chen's child.

Luo Li had been busy running around lately, so she had left the child in Xue Lin's care.

Yuan Chen sighed with emotion.

Hearing Yuan Chen's voice, Xue Lin didn't even raise her eyes to look at him.

She even turned her body slightly to the other side.

She was truly helpless against Yuan Chen addressing her as "Sister."

Yuan Chen didn't pay it much mind either.

He naturally sat down on the stone stool next to Xue Lin.

“It seems Sister Xue Lin really likes children?”

When he first entered, Xue Lin's gaze as she looked at the child was filled with gentleness.

Yuan Chen had never seen Xue Lin show such an expression before.

Even when facing Luo Li, she was always cold and aloof.

He had no idea how the two of them had become friends in the first place.

Xue Lin still remained silent.

Her fingers kept teasing the baby on the stone table.

Acting as if she hadn't heard him at all.

Yuan Chen continued,

“Sister, you're not getting any younger either. It's time to find a good family to marry into.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Lin's figure vanished instantly.

Leaving behind only the babbling baby in swaddling clothes on the stone table.

Yuan Chen: "..."

He hadn't even started trying yet, and she was already gone.

Just as he was about to pick up his son and leave,

another ripple vibrated through space.

By the time Yuan Chen snapped back to his senses, the table was completely empty.

Where is my son?

Yuan Chen's outstretched hands froze in midair.

“If you like kids so much, go have one yourself! Why snatch my son?!”

Pulling his hands back, Yuan Chen muttered in a low voice.

“Ouch!”

A fist materialized in midair and gave Yuan Chen's head a light rap.

“Come out! Why are you hiding?”

But no matter how much he shouted, there was no further response.

Rubbing his head, Yuan Chen returned to his own courtyard.

Once the wall blocked his view of the neighboring courtyard, Yuan Chen's expression returned to normal.

A slight smile played at the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't expected the always cold and aloof Xue Lin to have such a cute side.

Shaking his head, he went back inside his room.

By now, Luo Xinyi had also woken up.

“Brother Yuan Chen, were you talking to someone just now?”

The courtyard was only so big, and a residence in the mortal world didn't have any soundproofing formations or defensive formations.

Luo Xinyi could hear a bit of Yuan Chen's voice from next door.

“I went to check on my son!”

Yuan Chen shook his head and said with a smile.

Luo Xinyi was already well aware that Yuan Chen had children.

Hearing this, she slowly walked up to Yuan Chen.

Leaning against Yuan Chen's chest, she asked nervously,

“Brother Yuan Chen, can we really have our own children?”

Although Yuan Chen already had two sons, her impression was still dominated by the difficulty the Dragon Clan faced in producing offspring.

She was still very worried about whether she could get pregnant.

“Of course we can. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in your husband!”

Resting his chin on her head, Yuan Chen said confidently.

Luo Xinyi was momentarily speechless.

*You're the one I'm worried about, okay?*

*Before reaching the Golden Core stage and above, it's actually very easy for us of the Human Race to have children.*

*Unless...*

Shaking her head, she cast aside the stray thoughts in her mind.

“That's good. I believe you, Brother Yuan Chen.”

Yuan Chen scooped her up in his arms.

“Since you want a child so much, let's work a bit harder.”

With that, he walked straight toward the bed.

He had used six minor fixed-target pills last night, yet none had succeeded.

Now was the perfect time to try a few more times.

Luo Xinyi didn't refuse, looking at Yuan Chen with hazy eyes.

...

By noon, Luo Xinyi had already fallen into a deep, exhausted sleep.

Yuan Chen leaned against the bedside, feeling depressed.

If he had a cigarette in his hand right now, it would certainly suit the mood even better.

What was going on?

He had used another five minor fixed-target pills, yet they were completely useless.

After some thought, his gaze shifted to the face of Luo Xinyi, who was sleeping peacefully beside him.

He thought to himself,

*It must be her fault!*

*Yes, that's it!*

Some powerful factions of the Yao Race had difficulty with reproduction.

The Human Race had a similar situation.

Aside from the fact that the higher one's cultivation, the harder it was to have offspring,

there were also some special groups of people.

They possessed a special Physique.

If the partner's Physique was vastly different, the two could not pair successfully.

Now, Yuan Chen suspected that Luo Xinyi possessed a special Physique.

Currently, he was only a Low-grade Divine Beast.

If her Physique was powerful to a certain extent,

he really might not measure up.

If so, he would have to wait until he became a Mid-tier Divine Beast or reached an even higher grade to have offspring.

In that case, he would try for two more days.

He had plenty of pills left anyway.

If she still couldn't conceive after two days, he would temporarily stop.

And try again after he advanced.

Stroking her hair, Yuan Chen got up and went out.

Yue Ying was currently pregnant and also needed his constant company.

He couldn't forget his old love just because he had a new one.

When he found Yue Ying, she was having a meal with Luo Li and her husband.

After coming to the Mortal Realm, Luo Li seemed to have become an ordinary person, never skipping any of her three daily meals.

To keep Luo Li company, Yue Ying and the others would also join her from time to time.

Seeing Yue Ying, Yuan Chen smiled and walked out.

But just as he reached the doorway, he was blocked by Yuan Ji, who had stood up.

Yuan Chen looked at his father in confusion. What was he doing?

Yuan Ji stared at him, sizing him up, before finally saying calmly,

“It's better to exercise some restraint.”

Yuan Chen nodded obediently.

But the moment he turned around, he threw the warning aside.

He was already a cultivator, so what was there to restrain?

With the powerful Physique of the Dragon Clan, it was highly unlikely for him to become exhausted.
