Chapter 113: Chapter 111: Surprise (Modified)_1
On a certain street, Mu Huanqing once again donned her duckbill cap and walked under the streetlights with Fang Ren.
"She really is a girl with a hard fate," Mu Huanqing sighed.
"Are you talking about the issue of freedom in marriage?" Fang Ren asked.
"Yes, with a Spiritual Embryo Constitution, she is definitely going to be forced by her family to marry someone. If she marries the person she wants to, it's still okay; but if she has someone she already likes and is forced to marry another, that would be very painful," said Mu Huanqing.
Fang Ren nodded, his expression growing slightly serious as he spoke, "It won't be long before someone crushes that kind of marital ideology among practitioners."
Mu Huanqing smiled and said, "That person will definitely appear in the near future, and maybe that person will be me."
"How could I possibly let you strive alone? That person could very well be me," Fang Ren said as he ruffled her hair.
After strolling along the small street for a few minutes, Fang Ren went off alone to a hotel and booked a king-size bed room, since Mu Huanqing would surely be asked for her ID if she came along.
Once he arrived at the hotel building and opened the room, Fang Ren checked to make sure everything was safe before opening the room's window.
Whoosh—
A streak of silvery light flashed by, and Mu Huanqing's figure flew directly through the window into the room. Seeing this, Fang Ren began to close the window and draw the curtains.
The long-awaited reunion made them embrace each other uncontrollably, their hearts burdened with much they wanted to say.
But just as they were chatting and enjoying themselves, something in Fang Ren's trouser pocket suddenly moved. A few seconds later, Qianye crawled out of his pocket.
"Hei ha, hei ha!"
With a few bounces, Qianye jumped onto the bed, excitedly scampering over the blanket towards Fang Ren.
"Hey! Why did you come out at this time, you little rascal!"
The moment Fang Ren saw Qianye dash towards him while embracing Mu Huanqing, his mood instantly vanished. He let go of Mu Huanqing, grabbed Qianye unhappily, and scolded, "Can't you pick a better time?"
"Hei ha, hei ha!"
Qianye still looked at him excitedly, flailing his limbs in the air and chirping away incomprehensibly, as if trying to communicate some important matter.
Mu Huanqing let go of Fang Ren as well and smiled at the plush-toy-like Qianye in his hands, "What's gotten into it?"
"I have no idea," Fang Ren said, at a loss.
"Hei ha, hei ha! Hei ha!"
Qianye wriggled free from Fang Ren's grasp, immediately ran to Mu Huanqing's side, and with one of its round arms, gently tapped her stomach. It looked at Fang Ren with excitement, babbling nonsensically.
"What on Earth is going on? Write it down and talk," said Fang Ren, helplessly pointing towards the wooden tea table at the side of the bed.
Upon hearing this, Qianye immediately hopped onto the tea table. Using the branch on its head, it scratched out a crooked character on the wood.
The little fellow was extremely excited, and its writing was even more sloppy, but Fang Ren could still clearly make out the character—it was "pregnant."
Fang Ren stared at the character on the tea table, completely stunned. Did this mean Qing'er was pregnant?
Mu Huanqing, beside him, looked at the excited Qianye and was also surprised. She stretched out her hand and held Qianye in her palm, smiling at its cute round head, "How could pregnancy happen so quickly, you little guy? Did you sense it wrong?"
She knew this little fellow was Fang Ren's Spirit Form, which typically had a masterful grasp on its owner's body, but pregnancy should be happening in her body, not Fang Ren's. The little guy shouldn't be able to sense that, she thought.
"Hei ha, hei ha!"
Qianye shook its head seriously.
"Really pregnant?"
Fang Ren looked at Qianye, dumbfounded.
"Hei ha!"
Qianye nodded emphatically.
"How can pregnancy be that fast?" Fang Ren said, still in disbelief.
Qianye chirped and chirped, and Fang Ren seemed to finally understand its meaning, asking again, "Are you saying, Qing'er was already pregnant before she left me?"
"Hei ha!"
Qianye nodded solemnly.
"Really?"
Fang Ren's emotions surged, and his face, which had been stunned for a few seconds, couldn't help but curl into an upward arc.
Seeing that he finally got his point across, Qianye immediately transformed back into a stream of light and returned into Fang Ren's Spiritual Root, wearing a satisfied expression as it settled down to sleep again.
"Qing'er! Give me your hand!"
Fang Ren grabbed Mu Huanqing's hand excitedly, his Perceptual Power operating at its peak as he sensed the changes within Mu Huanqing's body.
A few seconds later, Fang Ren became ecstatic, lifted Mu Huanqing up, and laughed loudly, "Qing'er! You really are pregnant!"
A smile couldn't help but spread across Mu Huanqing's face as she gently caressed her belly, her expression both joyful and a bit overwhelmed.
"I… I'm going to be a mother..."
