9: Chapter 9 Congratulations... to you all

"Shut up!"

Wen Yan was so angry that her face turned red, and just like when they were children, she grabbed Lin Yun by the ear.

"Stop talking nonsense! Go! Go to the medical room right now and get a pregnancy test!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

"Sister Wen Yan, let go, I'm going right now!"

Wen Yan let go, and Lin Yun muttered to himself while rubbing his reddened ear as he walked toward the medical room.

Ever since Lin Yun got married, things like pregnancy tests were stocked everywhere.

There were some in the Training Room's medical room.

"This kid..."

Wen Yan watched his back, the sense of confusion in her heart growing even stronger.

Soon, Lin Yun returned with an exquisite medical kit.

Wen Yan snatched the box from him, took out a pregnancy test, and shoved it into Su Yingxue's hand.

"Come on, go to the washroom with me."

Wen Yan pulled Su Yingxue toward the restroom attached to the Training Room.

Lin Yun stood where he was, waiting with full confidence.

The System had already given the notification, how could it be wrong?

A few minutes later, the door to the washroom opened.

Su Yingxue walked out, holding the pregnancy test in her hand.

Wen Yan leaned in, her expression complex.

"How is it?"

Wen Yan asked eagerly, not even noticing the tension in her own voice.

Su Yingxue looked up, a blush of mixed shyness and joy on her face.

She held the pregnancy test up in front of Wen Yan.

Two clear red lines.

"I'm pregnant..."

Su Yingxue said softly, her eyes shimmering with happy tears.

Wen Yan stared at those two red lines for a full ten seconds.

Her brain raced, attempting to explain this phenomenon from the perspectives of martial arts, biology, or even metaphysics, but she couldn't find a reasonable answer.

In the end, she could only accept the fact:

Su Yingxue was indeed pregnant, the day after she became a Martial Artist.

"This... how is this possible..."

Wen Yan muttered to herself, her gaze involuntarily drifting toward Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had already walked over to Su Yingxue's side, one hand gently wrapping around her shoulder, the other hand lightly resting on her lower abdomen.

Although it was still completely flat, his eyes were already filled with the joy and pride of a new father.

"Sister Wen Yan, do you believe it now?"

"I told you, there's absolutely no problem with the seed I planted."

Lin Yun grinned like a cat that had stolen some fish.

Wen Yan opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her throat felt blocked by something.

She wanted to ask what secret Lin Yun had, wanted to ask if Su Yingxue was feeling any discomfort, wanted to ask if the child would have any abnormalities...

But in the end, all the questions turned into three words:

"Congratulations... to you... two."

When she said those words, the sour feeling in Wen Yan's heart grew even stronger.

She couldn't explain what she was feeling sour about. Was she jealous that Su Yingxue got pregnant so easily?

Or was she jealous that this young couple was so happy?

Or perhaps... jealous of Lin Yun's tenderness toward Su Yingxue?

"Starting today, the training plan is adjusted."

Wen Yan forced herself to calm down and regain her professional attitude.

"Yingxue, your primary task now is to nurture the pregnancy."

"Although it is difficult for a Martial Artist to get pregnant, it is not rare. Once successful, the fetus will be nourished by the mother's Qi and blood, and its natural Physique will be much stronger than an ordinary person's."

"But correspondingly, the mother's consumption will also be very high."

She walked to the control panel and re-entered the instructions:

"Mornings will be changed to meditation and Qi and blood nourishment exercises; afternoons for learning theoretical knowledge; evenings for rest."

"Gravity Chamber training is paused, and combat training is canceled."

Su Yingxue was a bit uneasy: "Sister Wen Yan, will this delay my Cultivate..."

"No." Wen Yan interrupted her.

"During pregnancy, the mother and fetus are connected by Qi and blood. If you Cultivate properly, not only will it not be delayed, but you might even make progress because the circulation of Qi and blood will be more active."

"But it must be gentle, not intense."

Wen Yan stopped and looked at Lin Yun: "As for you, your training volume is doubled."

"Your wife is pregnant and needs more resources for nourishment."

"You must become strong as quickly as possible to protect her and the child."

Lin Yun put away his playful expression and nodded seriously: "I understand, Sister Wen Yan."

The subsequent training atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

Under Wen Yan's guidance, Su Yingxue engaged in gentle meditation, while Lin Yun sweated profusely in the Gravity Chamber.

And Wen Yan, although seemingly guiding the two of them attentively, had her thoughts drifting away from time to time.

She watched the happy smile on Su Yingxue's face as she stroked her lower abdomen.

She watched Lin Yun always being the first to care for his wife during training breaks.

She watched the thick, inseparable love between this young couple...

"What exactly am I expecting?" Wen Yan asked herself in her heart, "Could it be that I really... for that kid..."

She dared not continue thinking.

After training ended, Wen Yan hurriedly left the Training Room, not even having dinner with the two of them as usual.

She needed to be alone to calm down and clear her chaotic thoughts.

As for Lin Yun and Su Yingxue, they walked toward the dining hall hand in hand.

The setting sun stretched their shadows long, overlapping, as if they would never separate.

"Husband, Sister Wen Yan seems a bit strange today." Su Yingxue said softly.

Lin Yun smiled and squeezed her hand: "Maybe it's because the news of your pregnancy was too sudden. It's fine, she'll be better in a few days."

He knew in his heart that Wen Yan's abnormal reaction might be more than just that.

But he had no heart to think about it in detail right now; his heart was filled with the joy of soon becoming a father and longing for the future.

In the dining hall, Grandfather Lin Zhentian had already heard the good news and was moved to tears.

He spoke to Su Yingxue for a long time and gave Lin Yun a bunch of instructions, and the entire dinner time was immersed in joy.

It was late at night, and the lights in the new bedroom turned on again.

This time, the two were not as intimate as usual, but lay on the bed in each other's arms, Lin Yun's hand gently resting on Su Yingxue's lower abdomen.

"Husband, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" Su Yingxue asked softly.

"Both are fine." Lin Yun kissed her forehead, "As long as it's our child, I will like it."

Su Yingxue closed her eyes happily and soon fell asleep in her husband's arms.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water.

And in the courtyard at the other end of the estate, Wen Yan stood in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, unable to sleep all night.
