Would She Get Pregnant, After All?

Noon.

Su Qing'an's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her clear black and white eyes reflected the red gauze curtains in the dim light, like the sky full of sunset reflected in a calm lake.

He wore thin clothes with the collar slightly open, revealing bite marks on his collarbone and lip lines painted with rouge. His soft, black hair clung to his temples and fell across his chest.

If we trace this detail back to last night, we can roughly imagine his bewildered eyes, his breath steaming, and his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

But now, those eyes have lost all desire, leaving only a sense of asceticism like a cold pool, and a few scattered bubbles of shame and resentment rising to the surface.

The boy pursed his lips, and even though his expression remained unchanged, he still inadvertently revealed a touch of the pitiful vulnerability unique to beautiful women.

Those pale lips remained red and swollen even after several hours.

He remained silent for a while, unsure of what to say.

Last night's massage was different from the one I received at Cloud Dragon Waterfall and the one Awakened that morning. No matter how many times I repeated those complicated movements of holding, manipulating, kneading, rubbing, and turning over, it couldn't compare to the long, beautiful dream I was completely drawn into yesterday.

Moreover, whether passively or actively, above or below, behind or to the side, one obviously cannot have this leeway to perceive it. But upon Awakened, one can clearly feel the frailty of this body, as well as the tingling and slight pain brought about by the countless red marks and even bloodstains on the back caused by someone's fingertips.

I recalled the moment last night before stepping into bed, when I asked the other person if they would regret it...

Now Su Qing'an felt that she had overestimated herself; she shouldn't have been the one asking that question at all.

But even if he had to do it all over again, he certainly wouldn't be able to resist the raging fire of temptation and desire burning in his heart.

When a beautiful woman, seemingly untouched by the world and detached from worldly affairs, dressed in a fiery red wedding gown, offered her soft body to his embrace, and then, with her cool lips, nibbled at his earlobe, uttered a taboo nickname that starkly contrasted with her status...

--Master Su.

--The way this title is used by Young Hua and the Immortal Fu Hua evokes completely different concepts and levels of feeling.

I couldn't take it at all in that instant.

Su Qing'an was ultimately not a saint.

Perhaps this applies when facing other members of the opposite sex.

But he clearly didn't want to appear emotionless and devoid of desire in front of the other person, like a god or Buddha.

Moreover, even from a universal perspective, indulging normal physiological desires and controlling the body in that situation constitutes a harmonious married life.

So he fell for it.

The enhancements and amplifications of the Herrscher of Death's Stigmata to his physical attributes have been absorbed into his Planetary-class essence. In the few months since he came to this world, his training in martial arts has been in its initial stages. The only difference between his current physical condition and that of an ordinary person is his consistent immunity to Honkai Energy.

But... this difference is obviously meaningless when it comes to sleeping.

Next, let's take a closer look at the true conditions of the Immortal Chi Yuan. The Fusion Warrior's own special abilities and the Gene Ability of immortality creates an inexhaustible physical strength that can be achieved as long as one is willing. Under the premise that neither side relies on external forces, it is already a matter of course who will lose miserably.

Well, let's assume Honkai Energy really is omnipotent.

But who would think of using something like that in a situation?! Slaanesh's chosen one?

Su Qing'an pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat reluctant to face his wife right now. However, simply closing his eyes and continuing to sleep didn't seem like a good idea either. His keen sense of time and the sunlight falling on his nose indicated that it was already quite late. If he continued to sleep and Li Shishi and Jiang Rongyue came to knock on the door, he wouldn't even have time to clean up the marks they had left on his body.

That would be even more embarrassing.

With this thought in mind, the boy decided to get up. He supported his thin but strong body, gently stroking the still warm bedding with his palm, and turned his head to look in the direction not far from the bed.

Fu Hua sat in front of the dressing table, her pure white dress barely covering her upper body, making it impossible to see the lines of her spine and the butterfly bones on her back. Her silky hair cascaded down to her waist and hips, and her slender and alluring figure became even clearer in the morning light.

The girl's shapely thighs, with their perfect proportions, were exposed to the light, their pale whiteness creating a tempting effect. Her slender ankles were delicate and fragile, their delicate bony shape giving him the urge to hold and caress them. A quick glance upwards revealed several pale blue finger marks, standing out starkly against the skin of her legs, which seemed as if they could be pinched to release moisture.

Su Qing'an's eyes darkened at first, as if a temperature not belonging to this place was emerging from the frozen lake. His previously excessively satisfied physical desires seemed to resurface, but he quickly felt guilty and extinguished them.

The boy let his bare feet tread on the floor covered with a red silk-like carpet. He walked behind the other person, picked up the comb from the table, and wanted to tidy up the other person's hair, which was a little messy after sleeping all night, in front of the bronze mirror.

Back when Fu Hua first used herself as a pillow to sleep, she cut off most of her long black hair that reached her ankles, leaving only a length that reached her waist and hips. It seems that the reason for doing so was simply to make it more convenient for her to sleep with herself.

Even so, organizing it is still quite troublesome.

Therefore, ever since Su Qing'an came to Mount Taixu, he has been in charge of combing and tying her hair. Fu Hua had long been used to this and should not have had any other feelings about it.

But the moment the boy's cool fingertips brushed against her neck along her hair, a muffled groan escaped her nose. Her once pale skin was now flushed with a coral pink, and she felt a tingling sensation run through her body. She instinctively leaned against the body behind her, her body going limp and burning hot.

The girl's expression was indifferent, but her eyes were filled with a hazy mist and a faint sense of bewilderment. Her breathing quickened for a moment, her lips moved naturally, and her eyelashes trembled instinctively, as if she were a statue that had been pulled into the mud in an instant, stained by the filth and desires of the mortal world.

Her consciousness was barely conscious, but her body was involuntarily entering a state of intense physical desire. At that moment, she let herself lean against the other person's chest, suppressing her ambiguous breaths as expected, and forced out words in a cold tone:

"Don't interfere, keep combing."

Although it sounded utterly unconvincing and even resembled playful teasing between husband and wife, Su Qing'an simply slowed down her hair combing, showing no intention of doing anything naughty and even feeling quite guilty.

This absurd sensitivity is entirely a consequence of the strange actions he took yesterday after refusing to admit defeat.

After being seduced by the other party, Su Qing'an, driven by his male pride, did something that now seems incredibly bizarre in retrospect.

That is, the soul resonance was initiated.

This operation not only combined their senses, but also reached a kind of divine...

According to previous understanding, under normal circumstances, soul resonance could only be achieved through the medium of Udu-dust) as a means of consciousness.

But that was clearly before he ascended to a higher dimension. Yesterday, he bypassed Little Feather and directly resonated with the other party's soul, even signing a brand new soul contract.

Well, the significance of a daughter's presence is becoming increasingly diluted.

The reason why the immortal has now become like a heroine in an anime is entirely due to the aftereffects of soul resonance.

Su Qing'an possesses the Manas consciousness, which grants him unilateral exemption. Just like his previous top-down portrayal of mortals, this represents an insurmountable gap in their levels of understanding.

But the girl obviously couldn't just ignore it so easily, so she got off the bed first to avoid too much physical contact with the other person. But it was still unexpected that she would be so embarrassed after being touched.

Udu-dust shone brightly in his Sea of consciousness, completely suppressing the aftereffects. However, because the other party's Manas consciousness level was too high, there was still a risk of relapse if they were to fall into an ambiguous atmosphere again.

--It's like I've already decided I'm going to lose next time.

Fu Hua felt a surge of resentment. She tried to prop herself up, but lost her strength and leaned against him again. A rare hint of embarrassment flickered across her usually cold face. She tilted her head back, looked at his chin, blinked, pursed her lips, and said:

"Color embryo."

Su Qing'an was speechless. She simply used the Heaven and Earth Qi to lift his shoulders and continued to comb his long hair, eventually tying it into a ponytail with practiced ease.

Soul resonance is indeed more excessive than directly modifying with Honkai Energy in every sense.

Fu Hua was already being kind by not mentioning that she was Slaanesh.

The girl calmed her breathing and walked to the wardrobe that had been prepared in the new room, intending to first change her current overly thin appearance.

As for yesterday's wedding dress... it's in a state where I can neither wear it out nor wear it at all.

During this process, her fair, smooth, and shapely long legs were exposed to the air without any fabric covering them. It was clear that the thighs, knees, calves, and ankles were well-proportioned, winding out extremely beautiful lines, and finally lingering on the slender, bony ankles, outlining just the right fulcrum.

The human body is amazing, isn't it?

For some reason, this sentence popped into Su Qing'an's head. He pondered for a while and indeed found it quite strange.

Despite its seemingly fragile structure, it can unleash enough power to shatter mountains and rocks without relying on Honkai Energy, through pure skill and martial arts.

But compared to that thought, my inner balance leans more towards the desire to appreciate beautiful things.

So the boy's open and honest gaze only returned to its original position when a garment fell down and concealed the spring scenery. Only then did he glance at the red string on his wrist.

Yesterday, to prevent Su Muxi from being clueless at a crucial moment, he deliberately used his Manas consciousness to block her instinctive absorption.

In short, the food supply has run out.

However, after being revived from within the Manas consciousness last time, the child also gained the ability to heal himself.

From an objective standpoint, Su Qing'an is not the kind of scoundrel who is indifferent to his daughter and only cares about his wife. He is simply calculating the rate of self-recovery and the possibility of his daughter living alone in the future. He is undoubtedly an excellent father.

Hmm, probably.

In short, given the other person's recovery ability, they should be able to regain their vitality within a month.

If you deliberately use the manas consciousness to feed the baby, it will only take a few hours, or even less.

Presumably, if the Little Feather's growth curve steadily rises with the nurturing of her manas consciousness, then when her manas consciousness approaches the level where she can recover to the complete Ascended State, she will also have complete autonomy.

At least it won't be like it is now, where the slightest disturbance forces me to sleep all day. My self-recovery ability will increase to a certain level before stopping.

By then, will I have grown into an adult?

Or will I forever remain in this childlike state?

However, in essence, she can now try to raise her physical age, since she is a conscious life form, and the appearance she displays actually represents her psychological age.

Su Qing'an thought for a while and suppressed the wicked idea of continuing to cut off food and letting the two of them spend a period of time alone without any excitement. Instead, she decided to feed her daughter today, leave her with Xiao Xuan and her Senior Sister Shishi to take care of tomorrow, and then go out to play with Chi Yuan.

... In some ways, the degree of viciousness has indeed lessened, but it hasn't improved much.

From this perspective, it's clear that someone experiencing married life for the first time might indeed develop a taste for it.

The bizarre illusion that he was the one being slept with, coupled with the guilt of ultimately losing because of cheating, made him really want to get revenge.

Objectively speaking, it's simply impossible to win fair and square without cheating before one's genes are fully awakened.

The young woman, dressed in a magnificent robe of alternating shades of dark blue and white, clearly already fully clothed, glanced at the courtyard outside the window, a faint smile appearing on her face, and said:

"From now on, this will be our home in Chao Xian City."

Su Qing'an nodded and said:

"Um."

"This is our first day as a married couple, where do you think we should go?"

"Or should we stay put and go straight back to Mount Taixu?"

Fu Hua thought for a moment, then noticed the red lanterns hanging at the four corners of the tall building in the distance, and replied on a whim:

"Let's try staying in Chao Xian City for a while first."

"Rongyue said that in the coming days, because of our influence, there will be many happy events in the city, and many couples will likely get married here. It should be lively for a while."

She continued:

"Furthermore, if the future [Pilgrimage to Immortality] truly requires me to train a disciple, or if I accept the role myself, it might be better to take this opportunity to learn more."

"You can't just completely wash your hands of things; you still need to observe things firsthand."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing'an knew perfectly well why the other party had taken such action; it was all for her sake.

If a creature is to enter a period of dormancy after several decades, even if the probability is extremely low, there is indeed a risk that an accident may occur in the meantime, or that it may die prematurely.

After all, the success rate of the technology is still within a controllable range, allowing the body to remain immortal and maintain vitality.

But what about the stalemate between the Manas consciousness and the Planetary-class nature?

These two won't stop along with the body's functions going dormant or frozen; they will simply continue to entangle and pull at each other over a long period of time, ignoring the existence of the outer shell.

Fu Hua could certainly make that connection, so the relevant preparations would definitely begin before the other party fell asleep. Otherwise, if mistakes were made due to the wasted time, it would be too late to regret it.

To avoid him having to Awakened in the middle of the night and maintain the balance of the struggle between the two by devouring a large number of demons, [Chao Xian] would prepare the maximum amount of demon corpses stored before he truly fell asleep, and let him devour them completely, so that the Planetary-class essence could entangle the Manas consciousness, which had recovered on its own due to the passage of time, for a little longer.

Although, barring any major unforeseen events, the quantity and quality of demons will ultimately be a drop in the ocean, barely enough to fill a tooth gap, it's still better than nothing.

While Jiang Rongyue could certainly handle all these tasks, Fu Hua clearly found it difficult to accept the feeling of treating his apprentice as a mere tool.

Because of the five years of uneven development, she felt that she hadn't taught the other party much. Jiang Rongyue had already cultivated to the point that no one could teach her anything more. In a sense, even if she were only at the Mingjing level now, she would have a great chance of winning against a monster like Cheng Ling Shuang.

After all, regardless of the inherent principles and cruelty of the abilities, the combination of Ascending Tower State and immortality is enough to overcome the vast disparity.

It is even more terrifying that these are based on a premise that is completely beyond Jiang Rongyue's limits.

At least... purely from the perspective of fighting against the Honkai, a talent like Jiang Rongyue should absolutely not be buried in this era.

The reason why there is a limit to the Ascending Tower State is not because there is a limit to the power that Jiang Rongyue can borrow, but because the existence of this vessel itself has a clear limit. Once it reaches the limit, it will directly burst the container itself.

The problem is that, as a mere mortal who has already achieved the combat power of a regular Fusion Warrior without even reaching the Void Realm, she still has a lot of room for improvement.

If one were to undergo surgery involving the Hyper-Mutation Factor, or similar modifications, one could simultaneously acquire even greater power, and the limits of the Ascending Tower State would extend to a much wider realm.

At that time, I might not be a match for Jiang Rongyue.

If Kevin possessed this overpowered ability, it wouldn't be surprising if he could easily break through the Honkai.

But whether in the past or now with someone like Su Qing'an by her side who can ignore the threat of Honkai if she is fully restored, Fu Hua is willing to follow her personal choices and will not bring it up herself.

Just as she had said to Su Qing'an at the time, immortality is not a Pandora's box that can be opened so easily. Once a mistake is made, the power that seems to be useful to humanity in fighting against the Honkai may also cause extremely bad backlash.

Su Qing'an said softly:

"I'll do whatever you say. I happen to be very curious about what people's daily lives are like in this era. I've been on Mount Taixu for a while, and my memories weren't very vivid during that period. Staying here for a bit will also help me fulfill this wish."

He thought for a moment, but his thoughts veered in a strange direction, and he subconsciously asked:

"By the way, do you think you might get pregnant?"

The girl's eyelashes fluttered upon hearing this, and she pursed her lips, saying softly:

"I have no idea."
