Chen Yue, "You're Pregnant!"

The moment Bibi Dong was mentioned, Chen Yue thought of what had happened with Qian Xunji back then.

Marrying Bibi Dong to Chen Yue in order to bind him was a unanimous decision by the Worship Hall.

That had been the Worship Hall's literal intention, but when Qian Xunji became the one carrying it out, there was a problem.

If Qian Xunji had already kicked the bucket and it had been Qian Daoliu who proposed this, Chen Yue would naturally have agreed without hesitation. He would have had no worries about food or clothing for the rest of his life.

But Qian Xunji was not dead—he was still the one carrying it out!

With a Secret Chamber Douluo capable of utterly crushing you around, would you dare agree? Weren't you afraid of getting secret-chambered on your wedding night?

Back then, Chen Yue had only been a Great Spirit Master, while Qian Xunji, the Secret Chamber Douluo, had long since become a Titled Douluo.

Of course, this was Chen Yue's darkest suspicion of Qian Xunji, but it was not the only possibility.

In the original work.

Bibi Dong wanted to leave Spirit Hall, but the Secret Chamber Douluo Qian Xunji secretly brought forth Qian Renxue, and she ultimately became one of Spirit Hall's own in name.

Based on that, Chen Yue had been thinking.

What if one day, Bibi Dong wanted to take him away from Spirit Hall and fly far away with him?

Given his understanding of her, this love-struck fool would very likely do something like that!

Why?

In the original work, she had once entertained that very thought about Yu Xiaogang, which was what led to the secret chamber plot!

When that time came, would he have any room to choose?

Would Bibi Dong listen to him?

Could Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, and the other worshippers sit still?

Then, would something like the Secret Chamber Douluo incident from the original work happen next?

Chen Yue could not be sure, but he did not dare gamble on it either. After all, she was his moonlight!

So!

Chen Yue directly rejected Bibi Dong, bluntly saying that they were too weak.

With a burden like him, a mere Great Spirit Master, they could never shake off the Worship Hall. Bibi Dong definitely would not leave without him either, and in the end, they would both be dead.

"Mentor? Mentor?"

Chen Yue had been lost in thought when Xue Wu's somewhat shy voice suddenly pulled him back. Looking down, he immediately felt awkward. "Sorry, I got distracted!"

While taking her pulse, somehow his hand had ended up on her shoulder. If she had not spoken up, who knew whether he would have crossed mountains and rivers just for an embrace...

"It's, it's fine..."

Xue Wu wanted to get angry, but for some reason, the moment she saw Chen Yue's face, she felt guilty, as though she had done something shameful.

In fact, she really had done something shameful—she had ** Chen Yue in broad daylight...

However, just as her mind was in turmoil, Chen Yue's next words completely froze her expression!

"You're pregnant!"

Xue Wu, "???"

"M-Mentor, this joke... isn't, isn't funny!?"

A joke!

Xue Wu still had to take part in the training squad selection. How could she possibly be pregnant!?

Besides, she...

In that instant, Xue Wu remembered that something really did seem to have happened—and it had been with the man standing before her. This...

"If this gets out, it'll severely damage your reputation."

Chen Yue did not explicitly mention their identities. Instead, he first offered a suggestion. "How about this? Temporarily withdraw from the training squad selection and say that you're participating in my martial soul research. When the time comes, I can apply to the dean for an exception and secure you a preliminary spot on the Soul Master Competition Team."

"After you give birth, you can compete as a substitute. But I believe that with my theoretical results by then, you'll surely be able to take on a thousand alone!"
