4: Chapter 4: Childbirth, Reward Received

"Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, Lingling is pregnant!"

The Ye couple had stayed at the Azure Dragon Palace for about a month.

After observing for this period and seeing that Yuan Chen was indeed good to their daughter, the two prepared to return to the Dark Nether Forest.

Both of them held a certain status within their clan and had many matters to attend to.

At this moment, Yuan Chen's family and Ye Lingling came out to see them off.

At the moment of parting, Yuan Chen decided to share this good news with them.

"What?"

Just as Yuan Chen finished speaking.

Before the Ye couple could react, Yuan Ji exclaimed excitedly.

It was no wonder he reacted so strongly.

It was truly too difficult for the Dragon Clan to bear offspring.

Coupled with interspecies breeding, it was even more difficult.

He had already prepared himself to wait several hundred years before becoming a grandfather.

He didn't expect that after only one month, Yuan Chen would bring him such good news.

One must know that back then, he and Luo Li had come together at over two hundred years of age.

But it wasn't until after over three hundred years of unremitting effort, plus countless Spirit Medicine, that they finally gave birth to a son.

He thought to himself.

Could it really be because his son's Dragon Clan Bloodline was thin that he was not constrained by such shackles?

He stared at Yuan Chen with burning eyes.

His son was truly strong!

"Of course!"

Yuan Chen puffed out his chest proudly.

Dragon Clan! Interspecies!

He, Yuan Chen, hit the target on the first try!

On the other hand, Luo Li was very calm.

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, she flashed behind Ye Lingling.

She gently placed her hand on Ye Lingling's belly.

She closed her eyes tightly to sense it.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, and the joy in them could no longer be suppressed.

Although the life fluctuation was still very weak.

But it was undeniable that she was indeed pregnant.

While Luo Li was testing, Yuan Ji stared from the side without blinking.

Is my wife's strength too low? She hasn't been able to detect it for so long?

This was the first time he had complained about Luo Li's low strength.

If it weren't for the fact that it was inappropriate, he would have wanted to push Luo Li aside and do it himself.

Finally, Luo Li let go, and he caught the joy in her eyes.

He also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Then, he looked at Ye Xiu excitedly again.

"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."

After calling out twice, he didn't know what else to say.

The Ye couple was just as happy; they hadn't expected there to really be a child.

Yuan Chen was a Low-grade Divine Beast, so there was a great possibility that the child born would also be a Divine Beast.

Although having a very powerful Bloodline made it difficult to bear offspring, once a child was born, they would generally inherit the Bloodline.

There was an example right before them.

Don't look at how pitifully little Azure Dragon Bloodline Yuan Chen had.

But he could still be counted among the Low-grade Divine Beast.

As for why his cultivation had never improved, that might be due to Yuan Chen's personal reasons.

After Yuan Chen revealed this news, even Ye Lingling was stunned.

She didn't even know she was pregnant.

But bewilderment followed.

Giving birth to a child?

But she wasn't prepared yet!

However, amidst the confusion, there was also a hint of happiness and joy.

This was a feeling that arose naturally.

She felt warm all over.

"Why did you only say something now, child?"

Luo Li slapped the back of Yuan Chen's hand in dissatisfaction.

Yuan Chen smiled and said helplessly.

"Didn't I just discover it last night?"

"I informed you as soon as I knew."

Before, there was no life aura, so even if he had said it, they might not have believed him.

So, he simply didn't say anything.

Saying it now was just to inform the Ye couple in advance.

To save having to send someone specifically to tell them later.

Luo Li smiled without speaking, her gaze fixed tenderly on Ye Lingling's belly.

She just didn't know how to express the joy she was feeling at that moment and was just complaining to Yuan Chen casually.

"This..."

After the surprise, the Ye couple also became conflicted.

Their daughter had never been pregnant before; if they had missed it, so be it, but now that they knew, they couldn't rest easy leaving.

The two looked at each other.

Ye Xiaoye's eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Xiu.

"How about..."

At the same time, Ye Xiu also looked at her and said the same thing.

The two understood each other perfectly.

With smiles on their faces, they walked to their daughter.

"Lingling, Mother is worried about you being here alone."

"So, Mother and Father discussed it and decided to wait until you give birth to the child before we go back."

Yuan Chen was stunned as he listened from the side.

Wow!

As expected of a married couple.

They discussed it just by exchanging glances.

But he still asked hesitantly.

"Didn't you say there was a conflict over resources with the nearby Leopard Clan and you needed to go back to help?"

Ye Xiu waved his hand.

"We can't win anyway, so going back is just a waste of time. We won't go back!"

He said it with exceptional nonchalance.

Yuan Chen looked at his father-in-law speechlessly.

His heart was truly big.

But since they were willing to stay, then they could stay.

Today's farewell was interrupted here.

The group of six returned to the Azure Dragon Palace again.

In the days that followed.

For the sake of their grandchild's talent.

Yuan Ji and his wife began to purchase large quantities of Heaven And Earth Treasure beneficial to the fetus.

They couldn't count on their son.

Now they were preparing to hope their grandchild would become a Dragon.

Yuan Chen also took Ye Lingling out for walks in the surrounding area from time to time.

There were quite a few clansmen in the Dragon Palace.

But apart from the guards, one basically couldn't see any other Dragon figures.

The Chaotic Star Sea was extremely dangerous.

Most of the Dragon Clan hid in their own rooms to Cultivate.

Only after reaching a certain level of strength would they go out to train and move about.

Just like that, ten months passed in a flash.

It was almost time for Ye Lingling to give birth.

The five of them stood outside the door waiting excitedly.

The guards nearby also shifted their gazes here from time to time.

Some time ago, they heard that the Young Master had a child just after getting married.

At first, they didn't really believe it.

But as Ye Lingling's belly slowly grew larger over these days.

The Dragons had to be shocked.

However, Yuan Chen's Bloodline was not strong, and they didn't know what the situation was with this little Young Master.

After all, it was Yuan Ji's private force.

They certainly hoped that the other party's Bloodline would be stronger.

In this way, their status in the Azure Dragon Palace would also rise with the tide.

To be honest, their Second Master's status in the Azure Dragon Palace was really a bit...

"Why hasn't the baby been born yet?"

Yuan Ji said anxiously.

Luo Li rolled her eyes: "Do you think giving birth to a child is a simple matter?"

Ye Xiu was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Yuan Ji beat him to it.

Hearing Luo Li's rebuttal, he immediately swallowed the words that were about to blurt out.

In the Cultivation World, there were countless experts who had fallen due to childbirth.

Just like that, everyone waited from day to night, and from night until early morning.

"Meow~"

A tender sound broke through the soundproofing formation and came out.

The sound was very similar to a cat's meow, but it was louder and more high-pitched than a cat's meow.

It was even mixed with a trace of the Dragon's nobility.

Yuan Chen walked straight into the room.

The child was born!

And on his way to the delivery room.

The voice of the houlang system also sounded in his mind.
