You're Going to Be a Father

Lu Wanyuan stared at her, still looking completely dumbfounded, and Baili Qiuyue was at a loss.

She took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I'm pregnant. You're going to be a father!"

"I'm going to be a father?"

Lu Wanyuan echoed her, then seemed to realize something. He grabbed Baili Qiuyue's hand and exclaimed excitedly, "Ah! I'm really going to be a father?"

Baili Qiuyue was clearly startled by Lu Wanyuan's reaction, but she quickly recovered and nodded shyly!

"Ah, I'm really going to be a father!" Lu Wanyuan immediately swept Baili Qiuyue into his arms and spun around.

He really was going to be a father. Of course he was thrilled! He'd thought they wouldn't have a baby for another few years, but who knew it would happen so soon? How could he not be excited? This was the continuation of life—the beginning of the Myriad Immortal Clan!

He'd treat the baby well, no matter what. He couldn't be like his old man, Lu Hu, who didn't care whether he lived or died!

He'd give his son the very best and raise him to be an unparalleled powerhouse!

Lu Wanyuan secretly vowed to himself.

"All right, put me down!"

"Right! Right! We mustn't hurt the baby!" Lu Wanyuan said carefully.

"Oh, I forgot to ask. How far along am I? Did the doctor say?"

"It's still early. You can't tell yet. The doctor said it's probably only been about a month!"

"Oh. Did the doctor say there's anything I need to avoid?"

"No. Just carry on as usual. There's nothing in particular you need to watch out for!"

"Oh, then there shouldn't be a problem. For the baby's safety, how about you stop going to Osmanthus Pavilion?"

Lu Wanyuan looked at her and made the suggestion with some concern.

"It's not that serious. It's too early for that. We can talk about it once I start showing. Besides, I earn money every day I work. We're pretty strapped for cash right now, so every bit helps. Once the baby comes, our expenses will be even higher!"

Baili Qiuyue said worriedly.

"All right, we'll talk about it then. I'll work hard to earn money. I definitely won't let you or the baby go without!"

Lu Wanyuan thumped his chest and declared loudly.

"All right. You rest here; I'll go make dinner. I'll take care of the housework, so don't you dare wear yourself out!"

Lu Wanyuan immediately set Baili Qiuyue down and said.

Then he hurried to the stove and started cooking. Fortunately, he'd cooked often in his previous life, so this little task was no challenge for him.

He hadn't expected his memories from his previous life to be of much use, but at least he'd held on to his cooking experience. That was something, at least.

Before long, he'd prepared the meal, and the two of them sat down to eat.

But now, the little one had suddenly come along and thrown Lu Wanyuan's plans into disarray. With the baby on the way, their household expenses were sure to shoot up.

He'd have to figure out how to earn Spirit Stones. Otherwise, if they got kicked out and he couldn't even provide for his wife and child, they'd be in real trouble.

But how could he earn Spirit Stones quickly?

At the moment, all he knew how to do was farm. If he wanted to earn more Spirit Stones, he'd have to either do his current work better or improve his skills—in other words, become a Spirit Planter.

He could also look for other ways to earn money. He couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

But before he could do any of that, he needed to grow stronger. It seemed his cultivation still wasn't progressing fast enough!

Still, he had his Golden Finger, so he could definitely make it work. He'd just need some time. The problem was that the Entries in his mind weren't much use for his current situation.

He still had three "Accelerate Growth" Entries, four "Fire Attribute Magic Power Amplification 2x" Entries, and one "Minor Accomplishment Spirit Rain Technique."

It looked like he should first combine the "Minor Accomplishment Spirit Rain Technique" and "Accelerate Growth" Entries tomorrow, harvest a batch of crops from his Spirit Field, and earn some Spirit Stones.

There was no point leaving them in his mind for now.

The night passed without incident!

As soon as he got up the next day, Lu Wanyuan headed straight for the Spirit Field.

When he arrived, he found that the Yellow Barley Malt Grass had already sprouted tiny, tender shoots. They were a delicate yellow, incredibly fragile.

They'd sprouted in just one night! He'd felt that he'd planted them properly, and under normal circumstances, he could have let them grow at their own pace. But the baby's arrival yesterday had put him under tremendous pressure. He didn't have a single Spirit Stone on him—that was painfully awkward. He needed Spirit Stones!

He looked around. The estate seemed fairly safe. After all, the place had been abandoned for so long; no one should come here.

So he decided to test the "Accelerate Growth" Entry. Worried he might ruin the plants, he chose to try it on just one mu of Yellow Bud Grass. Even if he wrecked the whole mu, the damage wouldn't be too great. It would still be within what he could afford.

He focused, and an "Accelerate Growth" Entry disappeared at once. Lu Wanyuan's divine sense immediately spread over the one-mu plot before him.

He watched everything closely, hoping to spot some kind of change.

Unfortunately, he saw no obvious difference. That made him wonder whether one "Accelerate Growth" Entry wasn't enough, and he was just about to use another.

But the next moment, he noticed that the dense cluster of tiny yellow shoots seemed a little cramped. They weren't as yellow anymore, either; green was starting to show through.

Before long, the tender shoots vanished, replaced by two emerald-green leaves, astonishingly delicate, with faint, fuzzy serrations along their edges.

Within the time it took to drink a cup of tea, they had grown into green blades of grass, five centimeters tall. The entire process had happened right before his eyes.

He'd never experienced anything like it, never seen growth happen so fast with his own eyes. In his previous life, he'd heard about the fleeting bloom of the night-blooming cereus—a flower that bloomed and faded in a flash. Perhaps it grew just as quickly as this.

The problem was, the growth still hadn't stopped. They were now ten centimeters tall, then twenty, thirty, forty.

Only then did their growth finally stop. Their stalks were covered in lush green leaves, all a delicate golden color, with a surprisingly sturdy feel to them.

So this was the so-called Yellow Bud Grass!

Before long, dozens of Entries appeared above the mature Yellow Bud Grass:

[Name]: Yellow Bud Grass [Entry]: Strand of Spiritual Qi X10 (Maturity 100%, Ready to harvest)

[Name]: Yellow Bud Grass [Entry]: Concealment 2 Hours X3 (Maturity 100%, Ready to harvest)

[Name]: Yellow Bud Grass [Entry]: First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman X3 (Maturity 100%, Ready to harvest)

Lu Wanyuan was overjoyed. Two new Entries had appeared this time, along with a tangible reward Entry—the "First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman."

Without a second thought, he collected them all and stored them in his mind.

To test it out, he immediately used the "First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman" Entry.

As soon as it was consumed, a palm-sized Spiritual Talisman appeared in Lu Wanyuan's hand. He could feel the terrifying magical power within it, and spiritual energy swirled constantly around its edges. This was a First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman, capable of an attack as powerful as that of a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. If activated, even a cultivator at that level would have to watch their step.

With this talisman, Lu Wanyuan finally had some confidence facing those Qi Refining cultivators!

He'd originally had three Entries like this. Now he'd used one, leaving him with two. This was his first time using this type of Entry, and he'd discovered something quite interesting.

As long as he didn't use up this kind of Entry, it would remain in his mind. In other words, his First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman was stored there. Whenever he needed it, he could use the Entry to get one right away.

That meant that as long as he didn't use it, no one could find his First-grade High-grade Golden Sword Talisman. This was unbelievably convenient, and it made it much safer.

After all, physical objects were hard to hide. He didn't have that worry. He could simply call one up whenever he needed it and put it to use.
