Chapter 976

Shan Shan and Ao Jing

It won't happen...

Xiao Jiu held Shan Shan in her arms, comforting: "It's fine, whether there is or not, we'll accept it openly; there are so many people protecting you, don't be afraid."

Shan Shan

On one hand, she still hasn't prepared herself to accept this.

Shan Shan, mom, and my dad.

"The rumors are like that, but the specifics vary from person to person." Xiao Jiu said, "Based on my experience, if you really are pregnant, it will show soon; otherwise, where is your constantly leaking essence and blood going?"

Shan Shan clung to Xiao Jiu's arms, acting coquettish; the mother-daughter pair are extremely close, getting along like best friends, and Shan Shan tells Xiao Jiu everything.

"Saying I'm not afraid is a lie." Xiao Jiu recalled the situation then, speaking frankly: "It's not that carrying your brother scared me, nor that I feared the birthing process; rather, at that time we were far in Zàng Qū, surrounded and pursued by bad people, and your brother just happened to go into labor then. I was afraid he'd be exposed to the bad people, afraid he wouldn't survive, but thankfully he was quite resilient."

Shan Shan

Compared to before, she is now very happy.

Xiao Jiu, Shan Shan, and Jing'er are getting married.

"All right, no one will force you." Xiao Jiu said, "You just discuss this with Jing'er; other matters I'll handle with your father. I've always believed that marriage is the icing on the cake of a relationship, not a shackle; as long as the two truly love each other, life won't be too bad."

The Earth Vein Journey took so long; the useful information gathered along the way needs to be recorded, the pile of things accumulated in Jiuzhou Fu needs to be handled, plus reporting work to respective superiors, etc.; the two threw themselves into work, busy to no end.

Just like that, another ten or so days passed, and news came from Shan Shan's side: she is indeed pregnant.

"Indeed, she is pregnant." Bái Sōnglán said, "In my view, the arrival of this pregnancy is not accidental."

Xiao Jiu

Bái Sōnglán explained, "I carefully examined Shan Shan's meridians; the pure yang qi in her lower abdomen is extremely overbearing, and this pure yang qi originally resided in her dantian, but after dual cultivation it had been transformed into inner strength; now, with the pregnancy, it is again accumulating in her lower abdomen. Xiao Jiu, don't you find this quite strange?"

Xiao Jiu and Bái Sōnglán

Ao Jing, on February 2nd with the dragon-head incense, flipped Shan Shan's window.

Then, during their dual cultivation, this incense's pure yang qi was transformed and merged into Shan Shan's body.

Xiao Jiu and Xingchen

And the genes of the Liu Junyan family seem destined to be this way.

Xiao Jiu, Jing'er, and Shan Shan

"Do you think this is something just anyone can do?" Bái Sōnglán gave Xiao Jiu a look, "Leaving aside that Ao Jing cannot be without Shan Shan, this pure yang qi isn't something just anyone can bear and digest; one can only say it's predestined."

But Bái Sōnglán said, "This Little Guy is likely in for an ordeal; he needs to continuously draw essence and blood energy from the mother's body; if the mother becomes depleted, we need to balance yin and yang to replenish. Later, after everyone disperses, Privately give Shan Shan a heads-up—best to have that Ao Jing kid come often."

Xiao Jiu nodded and smiled, "I guess I don't need to say more; Jing'er runs more diligently than anyone."

no names.

But Xiao Jiu still feels sorry for her daughter, after all, childbirth is not easy.

A Cheng and Shan Shan

On one hand he also felt sorry for Shan Shan; on the other hand, he also knew that Shan Shan's this pregnancy should take after Ao Jing's side, not the little phoenix he hoped for with his skillful hands...
