1576: Keep Waiting VI

Keep Waiting VI

Suddenly, a booming sound rang out; frightening Qing Zhu so much it almost rolled out of the room.1

It turned back and looked at Feng Ruqing, who was still sleeping. "Princess... She… Broke through?"

'Impossible! Since becoming pregnant, all her spiritual qi has been absorbed by her child. How could she make a breakthrough?' 

"Yes..." Nan Xian responded faintly. "I went to put a seal on that little thing from touching the spiritual qi, so Qing'er will be able to make a breakthrough, and… She can use some ability from this little thing to make the cultivation faster."

Initially, the baby could only absorb the spiritual qi that Feng Ruqing had cultivated, but now somehow, it could absorb it on its own. This could be considered as compensation to Feng Ruqing. After all, this little thing had taken a lot of spiritual qi from Feng Ruqing, so it must all be returned!

Qing Zhu was speechless.

'Master, is it really a good idea to trick your own child like this?

'Aren't you afraid your child won't accept you as his father when he's born?'

"Master, this little thing has already behaved like a demon even before he is born. If you treat him like this, he might hate you when he's born."

"He won't..." Nan Xian said with certainty.

Qing Zhu was dumbfounded. "Why?"

"Xiao Qing will not allow him to hate me."

Qing Zhu was speechless.

'Annoying lovebirds!'

Qing Zhu simply ignored Nan Xian and slid under the bed, hugging its small pillow to go back to sleep.

The next morning.

Feng Ruqing woke up with a shock. She noticed something was not quite right...

It seemed like… She had made a breakthrough.

And achieved two ranks in a row? Directly from Lower to Advanced Holy Warrior tier... 

"Nan Xian! It seems like I've made a breakthrough..."

Nan Xian smiled faintly and pulled her into his arms, "I know..."

Feng Ruqing was stunned. 

"I talked to our child yesterday, and he was very reasonable. He has stopped absorbing your spiritual qi and returned what he has taken from you."

"Really?" Feng Ruqing asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's true."

"Oh..." Feng Ruqing nodded. "Looks like this little thing isn't as greedy as I thought, and he even knows how to return the spiritual qi to me. Nan Xian, how did you communicate with him? Is he a boy or a girl?"

Nan Xian was startled. He was silent for a moment before he said, "It was Qing Zhu that communicated with him, as for how… Qing Zhu has thick skin, no matter how I whip it, it won't tell me what method it has used."

Qing Zhu had just crawled out from under the bed and heard this. It was so scared that it immediately shrank back, refusing to come out again!

"Qing Zhu forgot to ask about its gender."

Feng Ruqing frowned. 'How dare it forget to ask the child's gender?

'How could it forget something so important?'

"Qing Zhu..."

Suddenly, Feng Ruqing smiled. "Come out. We need to talk."

"No, I'm not coming out, not even if you threatened me with death. That bastard master framed me!"

"You're not coming out?" Feng Ruqing smiled, but her expression turned even more gloomy. "Nan Xian, find some female snakes to go in and drag it out."

Qing Zhu was shocked.

It pondered for a long time before silently coming out from under the bed and asked pitifully, "Princess, is something wrong?"

"I will not ask about how you can communicate with the child. But now, help me ask if she's a cute, pretty, and obedient little girl or a boy."
