Chapter 439: Yun Yun’s Joy!
On the fourth morning, as Gu He just opened his eyes in bed, he saw Yun Yun standing beside him, gently stroking her stomach with a radiant smile. She softly said, “Husband, I think I might be pregnant!”
Hearing Yun Yun’s words, Gu He immediately sat up from the bed, his voice filled with excitement. “Yun’er, are you saying you’re with child?”
“Yes, I can feel it—there’s a little life growing inside me!” Yun Yun’s face glowed with happiness as she nodded slightly.
“That’s wonderful! We’re finally going to have our own child!”
Overjoyed, Gu He pressed his ear to Yun Yun’s stomach, trying to listen intently.
In the Dou Qi Continent, the stronger one’s cultivation, the lower the likelihood of conceiving a child. This was why many top-tier powerhouses, even after living for hundreds or thousands of years, often only had one or two offspring.
For someone like Gu He, who had reached the pinnacle of Dou Venerate, conceiving a child so quickly was an extraordinary stroke of luck.
“Husband, you’re so silly! It’s too early to hear anything!” Yun Yun teased, her cheeks tinged with a playful blush.
“You’re right. It’ll be a few months before we can feel him being mischievous!” Gu He chuckled sheepishly, nodding.
At that moment, a voice called from outside the room.
“Master! Master’s Wife! We’re approaching Tianbei City!” Han Yue’s voice rang out.
Hearing her call, Gu He and Yun Yun quickly dressed and stepped out, heading towards the enormous city visible in the distance. They walked through the air, leaving their Black-Scaled Frost Jiao to rest on a mountain peak twenty miles outside Tianbei City.
Gu He, Yun Yun, Han Yue, and the Purple Demon Hawk arrived quietly, not disturbing the other members of the Han family, not even the Dou Ancestor patriarch who was in seclusion.
“Elder Sister, you’re back!”
In Han Yue’s courtyard, a petite figure clad in white dashed over to greet her as soon as she saw her return.
Before reaching Han Yue, Han Xue noticed the small, adorable figure Han Yue was holding by the hand. Her eyes lit up with affection, and she asked curiously, “Elder Sister, this little girl is so cute! Is she the child of that older brother and sister behind you?”
“Ahem!”
Han Yue coughed awkwardly at Han Xue’s comment and quickly corrected her, “Xue’er, don’t be rude. This is my Master and Master’s Wife! This little girl is Ah Zi. She took a Shape Transformation Pill to assume human form; she’s not Master and Master’s Wife’s child.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is!” Han Xue exclaimed in understanding. Then, with a bright smile, she added, “Since he’s your Master, I’ll call him Master too.”
Realizing Han Xue’s seriousness, Han Yue’s expression turned solemn. She hurriedly led Han Xue to bow and pay respects to Gu He and Yun Yun. “Xue’er, greet Master and Master’s Wife properly!”
Han Xue immediately complied, bowing earnestly. “Xue’er greets Master and Master’s Wife!”
“Master, Master’s Wife, Xue’er is a bit impulsive and may have been rude earlier. Please don’t take it to heart,” Han Yue added, apologizing on her sister’s behalf.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
“It’s fine. I didn’t find her greeting inappropriate at all,” Gu He said with a smile. After all, who would mind being addressed as young by someone so spirited?
“Master, that’s not proper…” Han Yue protested, shaking her head with some embarrassment.
If Han Xue were to call Gu He “big brother” and Yun Yun “big sister,” she would essentially place herself on the same level as her master and master’s wife. That would be absurd!
After saying this, Han Yue gestured toward a specific direction and said to Gu He, “Master, I’ve always hoped that one day you’d visit our home and stay for a while. So, I’ve been preparing a room for you and made sure it’s cleaned regularly.”
Leading the way, Han Yue walked ahead while passing the Purple Demon Hawk into Han Xue’s hands. Han Xue, captivated, held the little figure close, playfully pinching her cheeks with a look of pure delight.
“We’re here. This is the room I prepared for you. The one next to it was used by Senior Sister Zi Yan for a few days before she left,” Han Yue said, opening the door and looking at Gu He and Yun Yun with hopeful eyes. “Master, Master’s Wife, you must stay for an extended time this visit!”
“Hehe, Han Yue, this time your master and I will indeed stay here for some time. Your master’s wife just discovered she’s pregnant this morning, and she needs to rest and avoid traveling too much!” Gu He said with a light chuckle.
“Really? Master’s Wife is pregnant?”
Han Yue’s eyes lit up with joy as she turned to Yun Yun and exclaimed, “Does this mean I’ll have a little brother soon? Master’s Wife, you should go inside and rest immediately!”
Upon learning of Yun Yun’s pregnancy, Han Yue became even more enthusiastic and attentive.
With Yun Yun’s pregnancy confirmed, Gu He abandoned his plans to continue traveling. He decided to make new arrangements only after Yun Yun gave birth.
To provide Yun Yun with a tranquil environment, Gu He set up a sealing formation in the courtyard shared by Han Yue and Han Xue, isolating it from external disturbances.
During this period, Han Yue dedicated herself to her cultivation while also decorating the courtyard with ideas she had picked up from their time traveling on the Black-Scaled Frost Jiao.
Gu He spent his days accompanying Yun Yun and gradually refining the eleven years of cultivation returned by the system. Thanks to the sealing formation, the anomalies caused by his cultivation were undetected by outsiders.
Over the next few days, Gu He also took Han Xue as a disciple, making her his eighth student.
Two months passed peacefully in Han Yue’s courtyard. During this time, Gu He’s cultivation advanced to the peak of the four-turn Dou Venerate realm, with signs indicating a breakthrough to the fifth-turn level. Yun Yun’s pregnancy progressed, and she began to feel the child move within her.
Among those most affected was the Nine Nether Sparrow residing within Yun Yun’s body. The sparrow could sense the little life growing inside Yun Yun, watching its development moment by moment.
One day, a group of visitors arrived at the Han residence with a marriage proposal. Leading the group was the head of the Hong family, Hong Li. His purpose was to arrange a marriage between his son, Hong Chen, and Han Yue, thereby uniting the two families.
In the Han family’s guest hall, Hong Li presented numerous treasures as gifts and spoke cheerfully to Han Chi. “Haha, Brother Han Chi, your niece Han Yue and my son Hong Chen are both of marriageable age. I was wondering if you’d agree to unite our families through marriage?”
“Brother Hong Li, my eldest daughter’s marriage is not something I can decide on. It all depends on her own willingness,” Han Chi replied, not outright rejecting the proposal but instead leaving the decision to Han Yue herself.
“Brother Han, my son Hong Chen has been studying diligently at the Wind and Thunder Pavilion these past years. His cultivation has advanced rapidly, and he has great potential to become a core disciple there. I’m sure your niece Han Yue will find him to her liking once they meet!” Hong Li said confidently, clearly proud of his son.
