Chapter 206: Double Joy
Meng Chuan carefully cared for his wife, Liu Qiyue, afraid that the fetus might be harmed.
“Qiyue, Qiyue, since you are pregnant, there’s no need for you to practice archery.” In a mountain forest outside Gu Mountain Prefecture City, Meng Chuan was coaxing Liu Qiyue.
“With my Quintessential Essence protecting the fetus, nothing will happen to it,” said Liu Qiyue. “Let’s not even talk about archery now. If Archean Mountain deploys us, I’ll still join you on a rescue mission.”
“Together?” Meng Chuan immediately said, “Just me alone is enough.”
Liu Qiyue said, “Even if I use some of my Quintessential Essence to protect the fetus, I can still unleash my full strength. Furthermore, if you encounter a fourth Firmament demon monarch, you might not be able to fend off the enemy and escape with your strength alone. I don’t want my child to be fatherless the moment they’re born.”
“You’re unable to use Phoenix’s Nirvana since you’re pregnant, right?” asked Meng Chuan worriedly.
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “If I were in a dire situation, I would have no choice but to sacrifice the child and use Phoenix’s Nirvana! At that time, I would still be able to deal with a fourth Firmament demon monarch.”
In this duo, Meng Chuan normally used his powers to pursue and kill demon monarchs. However, if he were to fall into a dire situation, Liu Qiyue could protect him with Phoenix’s Nirvana!
“Sacrifice the child?” Meng Chuan blinked.
“In any case, I can’t be at ease if you go alone on a rescue mission,” said Liu Qiyue. “Archean Mountain has reasons for making us a team. Don’t worry. As long as there’s hope, I won’t give up on the child.”
“Okay.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“Let’s continue cultivating.” Liu Qiyue stood there and continued practicing her archery. Arrows flew across the sky like swimming dragons.
Although Meng Chuan subconsciously felt that a pregnant woman had to be careful, his reason made him realize that pregnant G.o.dfiends could still unleash astonis.h.i.+ng power. If one engaged in melee combat, the child in the womb would be a fatal weakness. However, his wife was a sharpshooter; she attacked from far away. Thus, the baby in her womb wasn’t at much risk.
I guess I can only make do with it. Meng Chuan could only adapt to the situation slowly.
…
A month into Liu Qiyue’s pregnancy.
Night.
The couple was sleeping in bed. Meng Chuan suddenly sensed two faint auras appear in his wife’s womb. It came very suddenly. It was as though life had truly taken form at that very moment.
Two vital auras? Meng Chuan sat up and stared at his wife’s abdomen. His head burned as the corner of his lips curled upwards. He couldn’t help but laugh.
“Two children?” Liu Qiyue woke up and opened her eyes. She had also sensed the two auras. She sat up and looked at her abdomen in shock. “Twins?”
“It’s twins.” Meng Chuan was extremely excited as well. “I didn’t expect that we would have twins the moment we conceived after five years of marriage. I wonder if it’s a boy and girl, two boys, or two girls?”
Liu Qiyue gently touched her abdomen, her eyes filled with love. She felt the two auras in her body. It was their children’s auras.
“Ah Chuan, we are going to have children.” Liu Qiyue’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan found it very magical as well. After sensing the two vital auras, Meng Chuan felt like he had another meaning to existing in the world.
“Perhaps we might die in a battle with the demon monarchs,” Liu Qiyue said softly. “However, we have two children. They will have their own families in the future. They will also live in the world.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan gently hugged his wife and softly said, “Perhaps we won’t live to see the world turn peaceful, but our descendants will definitely be able to see it.”
He had the strength and courage to face dangerous situations now that he was going to have children.
“I hope our children and their descendants can travel the world and see the great scenery,” said Liu Qiyue. “They can be obsessed with the arts. They can indulge in whatever they want and not be forced by the world to cultivate.”
“Only by winning the war will there be no more demons in the human world. Only then, will they live their lives so freely,” said Meng Chuan.
Liu Qiyue nodded.
As long as the war continued, future generations would have to risk their lives.
“Therefore, we have to work hard to kill all the demons in the world faster,” said Liu Qiyue as Meng Chuan nodded with a smile.
…
Five days after Liu Qiyue confirmed that she was pregnant with twins, Archean Mountain a.s.signed them a rescue mission.
“Let’s go.” The couple immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and left Gu Mountain Prefecture City.
Meng Chuan took a few seconds to go from a standstill to maximum speed by using his movement technique. This was to ensure that the babies inside Liu Qiyue would suffer less damage. Of course, Liu Qiyue was already protecting the fetuses carefully.
“The G.o.dfiends are here.”
“It’s Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue!”
When they arrived at the battlefield, a demon monarch squad and a G.o.dfiend team were engaged in battle. The best thing about the couple was their speed!
Often, demon monarchs thought that they still had plenty of time when Meng Chuan and his wife arrived.
Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings and hovered in the air. She smiled as she glanced at her abdomen before pointing the bow downwards and pulling it taut. Following that, three flame dragons shot out.
Meng Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed at the demon monarchs.
They did the same as usual. Liu Qiyue still used her normal strength. Just shooting arrows as per normal didn’t affect the fetuses at all.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Meng Chuan was extremely enthusiastic as he wiped out all the demon monarchs in five seconds.
“Senior Brother Meng, Senior Sister Liu.”
“The moment Senior Brother Meng and Senior Sister Liu arrived, they killed all the demon monarchs in the blink of an eye.”
The four Great Solar G.o.dfiends were also in a good mood. After three years, Meng Chuan and his wife were very familiar with the G.o.dfiend teams around their designated area.
Liu Qiyue landed on the ground.
“Junior Brother Yu, have you been doing well recently?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue chatted with the four G.o.dfiends. Through such conversations, Meng Chuan and his wife grasped their designated area’s overall situation.
…
Days pa.s.sed.
Liu Qiyue continued helping Meng Chuan even though she was pregnant.
Winter went as spring came.
Liu Qiyue’s belly gradually grew more noticeable.
“Don’t move.” Liu Qiyue was sunbathing in the courtyard. The spring sun was bright. Although she was only five months pregnant, the baby b.u.mp was still very obvious because she had conceived twins.
By the side, Meng Chuan moved his study table to the courtyard and carefully painted his wife’s appearance.
Although he had experienced many battles and seen many tragic scenes ever since they had married, Meng Chuan still painted his wife every year. This was already the sixth painting. This painting was special to them because it depicted the pregnant Liu Qiyue. It would probably be very difficult for another painting of his pregnant wife to emerge in the future. After all, it was common for female G.o.dfiends to give birth only once. It would be considered above average if one gave birth twice.
Of course, male G.o.dfiends could have many children if they had multiple wives. King Calm Sea was an example. Yan Jin’s mother was of low status.
“Lie down a little more. Lie down a little longer.” Meng Chuan painted very seriously as he carefully observed his wife’s appearance.
The bright spring sunlight touched his pregnant wife’s body as she gently caressed her stomach.
The smile on her face moved Meng Chuan’s heartstrings more than usual.
Meng Chuan was the best artist in the world. He captured that moment with his brush.
