Chapter 498: Didn't They Say Pregnant People Are Sensitive? (Please Subscribe!!)

The news of Little Ganyu's pregnancy reached the ears of the adepti in other regions of Liyue the very next day.

With the existence of Cloud Retainer, a master of conversation, it was difficult for these adepti not to know.

Thus, a year passed in the blink of an eye.

After that year, the thing that puzzled Jiang Yan, Morax, and others the most arrived.

It was true that Little Ganyu was indeed pregnant.

Whether from the pulse or from perception, the condition was indeed pregnancy.

But now, a full year had already passed.

Little Ganyu hadn't even changed her appearance.

Gazing at Little Ganyu's flat lower abdomen, Jiang Yan fell into deep thought.

To ensure Little Ganyu's safety, Jiang Yan still summoned Cloud Retainer and Lady Guizhong.

After the two examined Little Ganyu thoroughly, they spoke to Jiang Yan:

"Little Ganyu's current state is very good, and the fetus in her belly is also growing strong."

Lady Guizhong said to Jiang Yan with a smile.

"Eh? Is there no problem?"

Jiang Yan asked with some confusion.

"Then why has Little Ganyu's appearance not changed even after a year?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lady Guizhong and Cloud Retainer both laughed.

"We thought something had gone wrong."

"So it was because of this."

Seeing the relaxed expressions on the two's faces, Jiang Yan was stunned.

"Eh? Is it not so?"

"Of course not, you fool."

Lady Guizhong explained to Jiang Yan with a chuckle:

"Whether it is a Qilin or an Elf, these long-lived races face difficulty in childbirth, and at the same time, their pregnancies are also exceptionally long."

"A Qilin's pregnancy lasts about fifteen years, but Little Ganyu is a hybrid of Qilin and human, plus you are of the Elf race."

"A conservative estimate suggests Little Ganyu's pregnancy should be around ten years."

Ten years!

Jiang Yan was dumbfounded; he truly never expected that Little Ganyu's pregnancy would take a full ten years.

Perhaps only Jiang Yan was dumbfounded; to Little Ganyu, Cloud Retainer, Lady Guizhong, and others, this seemed like the most normal thing in the world.

Since long-lived races have already obtained a long life, correspondingly, they also have more or less deficiencies in childbirth.

This is one of the reasons why long-lived races are so scarce at any time.

Fortunately, as Little Ningguang became more proficient in handling government affairs, Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu did not need to worry excessively about administration.

After learning that Little Ganyu's pregnancy was so long, to prevent Little Ganyu from feeling anxious by staying at home every day,

Jiang Yan almost took Little Ganyu out for a walk or a stroll every single day.

When there was nothing to do, they would go watch the three little ones of Little Ningguang study, or visit the World Tree space.

The days passed so comfortably.

Of course, such days did not last for too long.

On this day, under a sunny morning sky,

a great ship radiating a purple afterglow slowly sailed towards the direction of Liyue Harbor.

On the hull of the great ship, a thunder mark was stamped, revealing the noble status of those on board.

If merchants from Inazuma saw this great ship, they would certainly be able to recognize it.

It was the sailing vessel of their deity.

This ship arriving in Liyue meant that

their deity, the Thunder God, had come to Liyue!

This was a major event!

On the deck of the great ship, a woman with a purple braided ponytail leaned quietly against the railing, gazing out at Liyue.

"Ei, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, a gentle voice appeared behind Lei Dianying; a woman with the same appearance but a different temperament appeared beside Lei Dianying and said gently.

"Makoto, do you think that guy will hide from us again this time?"

Lei Dianying asked Lei Shen.

It seemed like a question.

But it also seemed like talking to oneself.

However, Lei Shen quickly understood who that guy in Lei Dianying's mouth was.

A dimness appeared in her eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

"It's fine; it doesn't matter if he doesn't come."

Although Lei Shen's tone carried a hint of ease, anyone familiar with her could immediately hear the sense of loss in her voice.

How could she not know what that person was struggling with?

So she never forced the other party to face their true feelings.

"Ei!! Makoto!! You two come here quickly!!"

Just then, Kitsune Saiguu's voice came from the deck on the other side.

Upon hearing the sound, both Lei Dianying and Lei Zhen froze in surprise.

They exchanged a glance, then moved to Kitsune Saiguu's side.

"What is it, Kitsune Saiguu?"

Lei Dianying and Lei Zhen approached Kitsune Saiguu, asking with some confusion.

Kitsune Saiguu stared blankly toward Liyue Harbor, then pointed a finger in a certain direction and said.

"Look over there."

What?

Lei Zhen and Lei Dianying followed the direction Kitsune Saiguu indicated and looked.

Immediately, both of them froze in place.

There on the shore stood a man with white hair and a blue-haired girl with twin horns on her head, quietly waiting by the port, as if expecting someone's arrival.

That is... Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu?

Yes, Lei Zhen instantly recognized the man she had missed for hundreds of years.

The man who had hidden from her for hundreds of years!

Why, this time, has he appeared here?

Could it be that he has truly made up his mind...

Lei Zhen's thoughts were in utter chaos at that moment.

She suddenly felt a bit afraid.

Afraid that this man before her would, just as hundreds of years ago, reject her once more.

And Lei Dianying, unable to hold back, instantly transformed into a streak of Lei Guang and rushed down from the ship.

"Lei Dianying!"

"Don't do anything rash!!"

Jiang Yan and Little Ganyu had been waiting on the shore for a long time.

"Little Ganyu, there was no need for you to come along."

Jiang Yan looked helplessly at Little Ganyu beside him.
