383: Chapter 383 Four

Murong Wan reached out and touched his face.

"Then stay here with me tonight, don't do anything, just sleep."

Qin Lin looked at her; there was a kind of light in her eyes, not pity, but understanding.

He nodded, lay down, and rested his head on her lap.

Murong Wan's hand gently combed through his hair.

He closed his eyes, feeling that her fingers held a magical power, slowly rubbing away the exhaustion of his day.

"Auntie Wan."

"Hm."

"When will you also conceive one?"

Murong Wan's hand paused for a moment.

"Do you want me to conceive?"

Qin Lin opened his eyes and looked at her.

"I do."

Murong Wan was silent for a while, then said, "Then sooner is better than later; let's start now."

Qin Lin was stunned.

Murong Wan lowered her head to look at him; there was a kind of light in her eyes, not impulse, but seriousness.

Qin Lin sat up and reached out to cup her face.

"Auntie Wan, have you thought it through?"

Murong Wan nodded.

"Hm."

Qin Lin lowered his head and kissed her.

That night, he did not leave Murong Wan's room.

After Su Han became pregnant, a silent competition began among the women on The Ark.

Su Han walked in the corridor every morning, Murong Xue drank tea in the living room every morning, Li Ruyan waited for Qin Lin at his door every morning, and Murong Wan left the lights on in her room every night.

Four mouths were all speaking, but they were saying different things.

Han Yurou said to Han Qing in the kitchen, "Mom, Su Han is pregnant, and it seems Murong Xue and Li Ruyan are also trying."

Han Qing was chopping vegetables and didn't even look up.

"How do you know?"

Han Yurou whispered, "I saw Brother Lin in Murong Xue's and Li Ruyan's rooms these past few nights, and he also went to Murong Wan's room."

Han Qing put down the knife and looked at her daughter.

"What are you looking at all day long?"

Han Yurou blinked.

"I am observing life."

Han Qing sighed.

"Just take care of Qin Yue; don't spend all day doing things like peeping."

Yu Rou pouted, "Qin Yue is playing with Su Han; I don't need to worry about her."

Han Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Su Han likes Qin Yue that much?"

Han Yurou nodded.

"Hm, Su Han said she needs to walk more now that she's pregnant, and taking Qin Yue for walks is just right."

Han Qing was silent for a while, then picked up the knife and continued chopping vegetables.

She felt that Su Han had changed, from a cold Loose Cultivator to someone who would take a child for walks.

Li Ying said to Murong Xue from the massage chair, "You've been returning to your room very early at night recently, unlike before when you stayed in the living room until very late."

Murong Xue was Cultivating and didn't even open her eyes.

"Hm, I have things to do."

Li Ying looked at her.

"Things to do? Is it because Qin Lin goes to find you at night?"

Murong Xue opened her eyes and glanced at her.

"How do you know?"

Li Ying laughed.

"I guessed it; Su Han is pregnant, so you must be anxious."

Murong Xue did not deny it.

"Hm, anxious. She is pregnant, I cannot fall behind."

Li Ying lay back down on the massage chair.

"Then keep it up. The more children on The Ark, the better; it'll be lively."

Murong Xue glanced at her, didn't say anything, and closed her eyes to continue Cultivating.

A week later, the System notification sound rang again.

Qin Lin was in the Bridge looking at the star map. Hearing that familiar notification sound, he opened the panel, saw the line of text, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

[Ding! Congratulations Host! Passenger Murong Xue has successfully conceived!]

[Reward: survival points + 100000, blessing points + 500]

[Current survival points: 990269, Current blessing points: 16600]

[All passengers' Physique + 3%]

[Newborn talent locked: "Water Spirit", Water attribute affinity increased, Cultivation speed increased in environments rich in Spiritual Qi of water.]

Qin Lin closed the panel and walked out of the Bridge.

Murong Xue's room door was open. She was sitting by the window, holding a cup of hot milk in her hand, her expression very calm.

But Qin Lin noticed that she was drinking the milk faster than usual.

"Xue'er." Qin Lin stood at the door and called her.

Murong Xue turned her head to look at him; there was a kind of light in her eyes, not excitement, but satisfaction.

"Do you know?"

Qin Lin walked in and sat down next to her.

"Hm, the System notified me."

Murong Xue put down the cup and looked down at her stomach.

"Finally conceived."

Qin Lin reached out and held her hand.

"Are you happy?"

Murong Xue looked at him.

"Happy, though I was one step slower than Su Han, but I still conceived."

Qin Lin laughed.

"You're still competing."

Murong Xue leaned on his shoulder.

"Of course I have to compete. Su Han conceived so quickly; if I couldn't conceive, how embarrassing that would be."

Qin Lin reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.

"It wouldn't be embarrassing."

Murong Xue pressed her face against his chest.

"Qin Lin."

"Hm."

"Tell me, is the child in my stomach a boy or a girl?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment.

"I don't know, but regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, I will like it."

Murong Xue smiled.

"That's good."

The news of Murong Xue's pregnancy quickly spread throughout The Ark.

When Li Ruyan heard the news, she was making tea in the living room.

The teapot in her hand paused for a moment, then she continued pouring water.

"Murong Xue is also pregnant?" Her voice wasn't loud, but there was subtext in her tone.

Han Yurou sat opposite her and nodded.

"Hm. The System just notified us."

Li Ruyan was silent for a while, then put down the teapot.

"Then I must hurry."

Han Yurou looked at her.

"Hurry with what?"

Li Ruyan looked at her.

"Hurry to have a child." She stood up, "I'm going to find Qin Lin."

Han Yurou looked at her back, then looked at the teapot on the table; the tea wasn't ready yet.

Li Ruyan found Qin Lin in the corridor.

Qin Lin was just coming out of Murong Xue's room and saw her standing in the middle of the corridor, hands on her hips, with a serious expression.

"Li Ruyan, what's wrong?"

Li Ruyan walked up to him.

"Qin Lin, Murong Xue is also pregnant."

Qin Lin nodded.

"Hm."

Li Ruyan looked at him.

"When is it my turn?"

Qin Lin thought for a moment.

"No rush, it's only a matter of time."

Li Ruyan shook her head.

"I can't wait. Come to my room tonight; you are not allowed to go anywhere else."

Qin Lin looked at her; there was light in her eyes, not a request, but a command.

He nodded.

"Okay."

Li Ruyan turned and left.

Qin Lin stood in the corridor watching her back, feeling that life on The Ark was becoming more and more interesting.

After Murong Wan learned that Murong Xue was pregnant, she didn't say anything, just sat quietly by the window drinking tea.

Qin Lin went to her room and sat down opposite her.

"Auntie Wan, Xue'er is pregnant."

Murong Wan put down the teacup.

"Hm."

Qin Lin looked at her.

"Are you happy?"

Murong Wan looked up at him.

"Happy. She is my daughter; she is pregnant with a child, of course I am happy."

Qin Lin reached out and held her hand.

"Then you should come to my room more often from now on."

Qin Lin smiled.

"Okay, no problem."

Murong Wan looked at his smile, and the corners of her mouth also curled up.

She hadn't smiled like this in a long time.

After the apocalypse, she thought her life was only about fleeing and surviving.

Now she was sitting on The Ark, drinking tea, and having a child with a man she considered a kid; she felt she was still alive, and living very well.

Li Ruyan's efforts were not in vain.

One afternoon a few days later, the System notification sound rang again.
