Chapter 689: Will Huang Rong be with child?

Gu Hanyuan gently stroked Huang Rong's smooth and delicate lower abdomen.

That gentle caress.

Caused Huang Rong's stunningly beautiful face to be covered in a shy, rosy flush.

Gu Hanyuan asked gently in her ear:

"Rong'er, are you unwilling to bear an heir for me?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong's eyes shimmered with deep, affectionate tenderness.

She spoke without the slightest hesitation:

"I am naturally willing to bear an heir for my husband."

She paused.

Then hesitated:

"It's just that now isn't appropriate, is it? After all, in name, I am still Guo Jing's wife. I cannot hide on Peach Blossom Island forever. If I were to return to Xiangyang City while with child, wouldn't that cause trouble for my husband?"

From some unknown point in time.

Huang Rong had stopped calling Guo Jing "Brother Jing."

That sense of detachment was proof that Huang Rong's heart had been completely entrusted to Gu Hanyuan.

Previously, they had discussed whether Huang Rong should return to Xiangyang City.

The more time Huang Rong spent with Gu Hanyuan.

The more she resisted seeing Guo Jing again.

She also appeared very hesitant about returning to Xiangyang City.

Yet, if Huang Rong were not in the rear to coordinate, scheme, and balance the various factions.

Relying solely on Guo Jing.

He would be nothing more than a martial brute at best.

Even if Guo Jing had great achievements in military command.

His dull and slow-witted nature made it difficult for him to gain a voice in Xiangyang City.

Lv Wenhuan would not take him seriously.

Yet, Lv Wenhuan's own abilities were limited.

In the original timeline, he might have been able to hold a stalemate with the Mongol Yuan.

But now, the threat to the Song Guo was not just the Mongol Yuan.

The Jin Guo was also eyeing them covetously.

The number of treacherous officials within the Song Guo had multiplied several times over.

And they were all busy with power struggles.

The level of support for Xiangyang City was simply insufficient.

The situation could be described as precarious as a pile of eggs.

Coupled with the factors of the Wu Xia world.

If they lacked the help of Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Xiangyang City would absolutely not be able to hold out for long.

Gu Hanyuan's accumulated power at this moment was still insufficient.

He had to keep Huang Rong in Xiangyang City to buy him time.

Otherwise, once Xiangyang City was breached by the Jin Guo or the Mongol Yuan.

The curtain on the chaos of the world would be raised prematurely.

Gu Hanyuan would not do something so penny-wise and pound-foolish.

Therefore, he had persuaded Huang Rong with the cause of national righteousness.

Letting her return to Xiangyang City.

As for whether Huang Rong would conceive.

Gu Hanyuan dared not guarantee it.

In these past half-month or so.

They had not practiced dual cultivation every single time.

Therefore, there were occasionally times when it wasn't a blank shot.

If she were pregnant, it wouldn't be strange.

However, because Gu Hanyuan possessed spiritual energy.

The essence of his life had long since changed.

Wanting to have offspring would also be extremely difficult.

So, whether Huang Rong was pregnant remained an unknown.

Because Feng Heng needed to dual cultivate for spiritual energy circulation.

She didn't need to worry about this.

It was just that Gu Hanyuan had not explained this to the two of them.

Watching their conflicted expressions—wanting it yet not daring to want it.

It was quite interesting, wasn't it?

Gu Hanyuan said with deep meaning:

"Rong'er, have you forgotten the 'Soul-Shifting Technique'?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rong was stunned for a moment.

She quickly understood Gu Hanyuan's meaning.

She gave him a charming, sidelong glance.

And chided:

"So that was your plan, husband." ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
