Golden Crocodile Douluo's passionate speech.
Left the three of them staring at one another.
They had just returned from outside, so apparently this had already happened yesterday.
"Little Yueyue, is what Second Brother said true?"
Guangling Douluo stepped forward, barely able to hide his excitement.
Ye Guyue nodded.
"It's true. We confirmed yesterday that Dong'er is pregnant, but you weren't at the Worship Hall, Grandpa Guangling."
Guangling Douluo couldn't help bursting into laughter. "You've been away for a year and a half, and at last there's good news."
"Ahem." Guangling Douluo gave a few excited coughs.
"Grandpa Guangling, don't get so excited you faint." Ye Guyue was afraid Guangling Douluo might pass out from excitement, just like Qian Daoliu.
"It's fine. I'm in excellent health."
Guangling Douluo waved a hand to show he was all right.
Then he looked at Bibi Dong with his unmistakably gentle expression.
"Holy Maiden, you and Little Yueyue have really been through a lot."
Bibi Dong gave a slight nod and replied softly, "Senior Guangling, it wasn't hard. My husband and I wanted a child anyway, and now our wish has come true. Of course we're happy."
Ye Guyue looked disgusted.
You definitely haven't had a hard time. You treat it like eating every day, and enjoy yourself to no end.
Guangling Douluo put an arm around Ye Guyue and teased him.
"Whatever the case, it's good that you succeeded in conceiving a child. Little Yueyue, why do you look so unhappy? Don't tell me you don't like children?"
Ye Guyue shook his head. "No."
"Then don't sulk. It's bad for your health to get worked up. Why were you two arguing just now? Was it about wearing a skirt?" Guangling Douluo chuckled.
Ye Guyue shuddered, then glanced at Bibi Dong, who wore a broad smile. He lowered his voice.
"No, Grandpa Guangling, don't say any more. Let's hurry to the Worship Hall."
He couldn't let the conversation go any further.
Ye Guyue flicked his sleeve and strode toward the Worship Hall, his steps light and his posture graceful.
After Ye Guyue left, Guangling Douluo looked at Bibi Dong and grinned.
"Holy Maiden, how did you get Little Yueyue to wear a skirt? I prepared one for him before, but he absolutely refused to put it on."
"Senior Guangling, that's a secret between my husband and me. Besides, I'm the only one who can do it." Bibi Dong smiled mysteriously and said no more.
"Come on, Old Five. Stop acting like a child." Azure Luan Douluo dragged Guangling Douluo toward the Worship Hall. He was embarrassed just being there with him.
Who went prying into their juniors' private affairs like a child?
Bibi Dong quickly caught up with them.
When they reached the Worship Hall, all seven elders were gathered.
The seven of them were delighted to hear that Bibi Dong was pregnant.
When Demon Subduing Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo saw Ye Guyue enter the Worship Hall, their eyes lit up. They rubbed them in disbelief.
Ye Guyue, who'd refused to wear a skirt no matter what, had actually put one on today?
"Grandpa Thousand Jun, Grandpa Demon Subduing, there's no need to be surprised. It's just something Dong'er and I worked out in private. I can't go into more detail."
Ye Guyue answered their question, but didn't elaborate.
Any more detail would be embarrassing.
Thousand Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo exchanged a smile and didn't ask further. They had more or less figured out what was going on.
As expected, no matter how aloof someone was, marriage always changed things.
Besides, Bibi Dong's personality was completely different from Ye Guyue's. The two of them were bound to spark in unexpected ways.
They had thought Bibi Dong getting pregnant was practically impossible, but she'd done it.
Her private talents were truly remarkable.
Bibi Dong sat beside Ye Guyue on the long bench at the table, and the two of them shared one seat.
The seven elders said nothing about the intimate gesture. It was perfectly normal for a married couple to be close.
"I called the six elders here today to tell you that Bibi Dong is showing signs of pregnancy. If all goes well, it'll only be a few years. For old fellows like us, that's barely enough time to complete a seclusion."
Qian Daoliu's words drew slight nods from the six elders.
With her back to everyone, Bibi Dong greedily breathed in Ye Guyue's unique scent. Each breath intoxicated her, especially with him wearing the plain skirt she had picked out herself. It made him even more alluring.
Bibi Dong looked at the tree that had already sprung up. Her hand shifted slightly, then gently grasped it and began stroking it up and down.
Ye Guyue's body trembled slightly. He nearly let out a moan, but quickly forced it back down.
Ye Guyue lowered his head and saw Bibi Dong up to no good.
He didn't dare make any large movements. If anyone noticed, it would be over.
Qian Daoliu finished talking about his own business before moving on to the main matter. His tone was extremely serious.
"There's one more thing. A great deal has changed within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan over the past six months. Yu Yuanzhen even came to Spirit Hall in person, offering up Yu Luomian's daughter in exchange for Ye Guyue agreeing to spare his son, Yu Xiaogang."
Azure Luan Douluo was shocked and disapproved of Yu Yuanzhen's actions. He said, "Big Brother, isn't Yu Yuanzhen basically trying to force a deal? It isn't even his own daughter. Wouldn't this undermine the unity within the clan?"
Qian Daoliu nodded.
"Third Brother, you're right. When Yu Yuanzhen approached Ji'er, he said they could make it a done deal, and that it would strengthen the relationship between our two factions."
The other elders were all astonished. This was the first they'd heard of it.
He was using someone else's daughter to save his own son?
"In the end, Ji'er refused. Ye Guyue was still away at the time." Qian Daoliu leaned back in his chair and continued, "Eventually, word got to Yu Luomian. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in complete turmoil now, and Yu Xiaogang has also escaped from the dungeon. Yu Yuanzhen must have secretly helped him."
Ye Guyue's mouth twitched. Yu Yuanzhen had gotten nowhere with him, so he'd gone to Spirit Hall instead.
"Father, I'm here."
The doors to the Worship Hall swung open, and the handsome Qian Xunji walked in, dressed in golden papal robes and beaming.
"I heard the Holy Son and Holy Maiden are expecting a child. Congratulations."
Qian Daoliu found an empty seat and sat down. Seeing Qian Xunji's disappointed expression, he was puzzled.
"Father, what's wrong? Why the long face?"
Qian Daoliu snorted, looking as though he was at the end of his patience.
"You still have the nerve to ask? Look at Ye Guyue—he's about to give me a grandchild to hold. And look at you. Have you still not found a suitable woman? The Qian Family can't be allowed to die out."
Hearing this from his father, Qian Xunji lowered his head, feeling guilty.
This is bad. He's here to tear me apart.
"Father, you know I'm busy running Spirit Hall day and night." Qian Xunji made an excuse.
"Bullshit!"
Qian Daoliu shouted angrily. "Do you think I don't know you? Don't try to fool me."
