Xiao Xun nodded, "Then I’ll cook for myself." After seeing the true colors of human relations, he decided never to interact with them again when they made fun of his sister.
At night, Qi Xuan gave Xiao Wan spirit rice porridge to eat. He just wanted to nourish her.
He didn’t know what other people’s pregnancies were like, but he was aware of his mother’s condition when she was pregnant with his little sister.
He sat meditating beside Xiao Wan at night, with an array thrown in the room. The temperature was pleasant, making Xiao Wan feel very fortable.
In the middle of the night, Qi Xuan sensed fluctuations in spiritual power. Upon investigation, it turned out his child was absorbing spiritual energy?
No one had heard of his third brother absorbing spiritual power while still inside their mother’s womb? What was going on?
The little sister in his mother’s womb was an immortal embryo absorbing immortal power, but what was happening now?
He saw Xiao Wan still asleep with a smile on her face. It should be beneficial and not harmful to her.
municating with the child, he was told he was just hungry. How could he still be hungry? He had already supplemented a considerable amount of spiritual power.
He considered trying Immortal Water, wondering if the child was like his little sister.
This idea took root in his mind, growing stronger. The more he thought, the more frequently the child conveyed the message: hunger.
"Xiao Wan, wake up, wake up."
"Benefactor, what’s wrong?"
Qi Xuan sat beside her, helping her to sit up.
"Xiao Wan, the child told me he’s hungry. What I’ve given you is already very nourishing spiritual food. I have better things here, but I fear it might affect you."
"Benefactor, how could it affect me? As long as it’s good for the child, I’m fine."
"Alright, give it a try. I’m right here with you; just take a sip."
One sip of Immortal Water, and Xiao Wan’s face turned bright red, almost about to explode, but she quickly recovered.
Qi Xuan kept a close watch; it turned out that the child absorbed the immortal power?
Indeed, the child is like the little sister, an immortal embryo. Can a mortal carry an immortal embryo?
"How do you feel?"
"I’m fine, earlier it felt like I was burning, but now I feel better, actually quite fortable."
"That’s good. Xiao Wan, this child is very unusual. You will definitely find it very challenging."
"I’m not afraid of hardships, as long as the child is well, it’s okay."
"Seeing your situation now, you are able to nourish this child. You should rest."
Even mortals in a Spirit Gathering Array can be nurtured, hoping her health improves.
For more than ten days, the child remained asleep. Qi Xuan didn’t know if this was normal. But Xiao Wan had improved greatly, her plexion radiant.
He was now wearing the cotton clothes made by Xiao Wan. It honestly felt no different, but Xiao Wan thought he looked too distinctive without it.
The child was now five months, and her belly was already very noticeable.
After drinking Immortal Water for twenty days, the child again expressed hunger, prompting Xiao Wan to drink Immortal Water again.
That day, Xiao Xun went to town, bringing back a lot of books.
His sister hadn’t married yet but was about to give birth. Everyone in the village knew it, and he didn’t want to find someone in the village to assist with the childbirth, so he went to the medical hall.
But couldn’t find anyone to help with childbirth, so bought many books back instead.
Hearing Xiao Xun’s words, Qi Xuan looked through a few books himself.
He thought that, as he could municate with the child, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Xiao Wan was now getting better and looking more beautiful and healthy than before.
Qi Xuan’s cultivation had e to a halt, focusing more on the child, which gave many opportunities for Xiao Wan and him to converse.
Gradually, the two could chat, even though the topics were mostly about the child, it wasn’t cold and distant like at the beginning.
Drinking Immortal Water was very regular, once every twenty days would suffice. The child had matured, though he still slept a lot, Qi Xuan watched him daily, always pleased.
With the arrival of spring, the outside warmed up a bit. Qi Xuan acpanied Xiao Wan strolling in the yard.
The child was already seven months old, and Xiao Wan’s belly was quite large.
Suddenly, they heard cries from the neighboring house; an elderly person had passed away.
Qi Xuan suddenly remembered the Ghost Messenger’s words. "Let’s go inside."
He felt a bit frightened because Xiao Wan, though a simple woman, was optimistic and gentle, and the mother of his son. They got along well, and he truly couldn’t let anything happen to her.
Once inside the array, Xiao Wan continued making clothes for the child. Qi Xuan’s Divine Sense monitored outside, waiting for the arrival of the Ghost Messenger.
He must find out for sure what’s going on; as long as he’s there, he won’t let her die.
It was night when the Ghost Messenger appeared. Qi Xuan went outside.
"Please, don’t go any further."
The two Ghost Messengers truly did not wish to deal with his family. The girl was alright, but she had her own motives. The whole family was too clever.
"What do you want?"
"I want to ask about Dong Xiaowan’s situation."
"Why are you asking this? Wait, Dong Xiaowan?"
Qi Xuan nodded, seeing the two ghost messengers, there must be some issue.
"Yes, Dong Xiaowan is now my wife. I heard you say she should have died long ago, I want to learn from you how to let her live past a hundred years, thinking you must have a way."
The two shook their heads, "We have no way." After saying that, they attempted to leave.
Qi Xuan blocked them, "Please, think about it."
"What do you mean?"
"I just want to know how she can live past a hundred years." Qi Xuan’s True Sun Fire appeared at his fingertips.
The Ghost Messenger feared this pure Yang flame. The two felt helpless.
"We don’t know much, Dong Xiaowan’s fate is such, she should have passed away a few months ago, yet you appeared. You altered her fate.
Beyond that, we truly don’t know."
Qi Xuan believed their words. They hadn’t spoken the plete truth. They were just ordinary Ghost Messengers without authority to consult the Book of Life and Death.
"Do you mean my appearance altered her destiny?"
"We don’t know. At least she hasn’t had any issues till now."
"Alright, thank you." He tossed them some Spirit Fruit, uncertain about what ghost cultivators might desire.
The two Ghost Messengers didn’t linger, instantly departing with some ghosts.
Qi Xuan returned, seeing the woman sleeping soundly, he felt reassured. Given these circumstances, he stayed by Xiao Wan’s side.
Afterward, the two seemed inseparable. Xiao Wan’s smile never seemed to fade. She felt extraordinarily happy.
Soon, summer arrived; the time for Xiao Wan to give birth was near.
Qi Xuan municated with the child daily, understanding when he would be born.
Xiao Xun had matured considerably. Watching his sister’s large belly, he said, "Benefactor, shouldn’t we call for a midwife first?"
"Yes, we should."
"I asked the village midwife yesterday; she said to call her any time."
Qi Xuan nodded, "Alright."
Xiao Wan looked at the two, "Don’t worry about me."
The two didn’t speak. With such a big belly, how could they not worry?
