Golden Crocodile Douluo's impassioned words left the three of them staring at each other in bewilderment.
They had only just returned from outside, which meant this had already been confirmed yesterday.
"Little Yueyue, is what Second Brother said true?"
Guangling Douluo leaned in, his tone unable to hide his excitement.
Ye Guyue nodded:
"It is true. We confirmed yesterday that Dong'er is pregnant, but you and the others were not at the Worship Hall, Grandpa Guangling."
Guangling Douluo couldn't help but burst into laughter: "After being away for a year or so, you've finally brought back some good news."
"Cough, cough." Guangling Douluo coughed a few times in his excitement.
"Grandpa Guangling, please don't get so excited that you faint." Ye Guyue was terrified that Guangling Douluo would pass out from excitement just like Qian Daoliu had.
"It's fine, my body is perfectly healthy."
Guangling Douluo waved his hand to signal he was alright.
He then looked at Bibi Dong with his characteristic kindness:
"Holy Maiden, you and Little Yueyue have truly worked hard."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly and said softly:
"Senior Guangling, it is no hardship. My husband and I have always wanted a child, so now that we have achieved our wish, we are naturally overjoyed."
Ye Guyue wore a look of disdain.
You certainly didn't work hard; you were like someone feeding, enjoying yourself to the fullest every single day.
Guangling Douluo pulled Ye Guyue into an embrace and couldn't help but tease:
"Regardless, it is a good thing that you have successfully conceived. Why do you look so unhappy, Little Yueyue? Could it be that you don't like children?"
Ye Guyue shook his head: "No."
"Then don't sulk; it's not good for your health. Why were you and your wife arguing earlier? Could it be about the dress?" Guangling Douluo chuckled.
Ye Guyue shuddered, cast a glance at the smiling Bibi Dong, and said in a low voice:
"No, Grandpa Guangling, say no more. Let us head to the Worship Hall."
He could not let this matter drag on any further.
Ye Guyue flicked his sleeves and strode toward the Worship Hall, his steps light and his posture elegant.
After Ye Guyue left, Guangling Douluo looked at Bibi Dong and gave a sly grin:
"Holy Maiden, how did you get Little Yueyue to agree to wear a dress? I prepared one for him before, and he refused to touch it no matter what."
"Senior Guangling, that is a secret—a matter between my husband and me. Besides, I am the only one who can achieve such a thing." Bibi Dong smiled mysteriously and said no more.
"Let's go, Old Five. Stop acting like a child." Azure Luan Douluo pulled Guangling Douluo toward the Worship Hall, feeling embarrassed to be associated with him.
There was no sense in acting like a child, prying into the private affairs of the younger generation.
Bibi Dong followed quickly behind them.
Upon arriving at the Worship Hall, all seven Worshipers were present.
The seven of them were overjoyed at the news of Bibi Dong's pregnancy.
When Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo saw Ye Guyue walk into the Worship Hall, their eyes lit up, and they rubbed them in disbelief.
Ye Guyue, who had adamantly refused to wear a dress, had actually worn one today of all days?
"Grandpa Thousand Jun, Grandpa Falling Devil, there is no need to be surprised. It is just a private matter between Dong'er and me; it would be inconvenient to go into further detail."
Ye Guyue cleared up their confusion, but he did not elaborate further.
Because if he went into any more detail, it would be rather shameful.
Thousand Jun Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo exchanged a smile and stopped asking, having understood a little bit of the situation.
Indeed, no matter how cold a person is, they will always change once they are married.
Furthermore, Bibi Dong's personality was completely different from Ye Guyue's, which was bound to strike a different kind of spark.
They had originally thought that the prospect of Bibi Dong becoming pregnant was nothing short of a fantasy, yet she had managed it.
Her skill in private matters was truly exceptional.
Sitting on the bench in front of the table, Bibi Dong sat right next to Ye Guyue, the two of them sharing a single seat.
The seven Worshipers didn't say much about such an intimate gesture; it was normal for a married couple to be close.
"I have called the six of you here today to inform you that Bibi Dong is showing signs of pregnancy. If all goes well, it will only be a matter of a few years—for us old fellows, that is nothing more than the time it takes to go into seclusion."
Qian Daoliu's words caused the six to nod slightly.
With her back to the others, Bibi Dong greedily inhaled the unique scent lingering on Ye Guyue. Every breath intoxicated her, especially seeing him in the simple dress she had personally chosen, which made him even more charming.
Bibi Dong looked at the already erect tree, her palm moved slightly, and she immediately gave it a gentle grip, beginning to stroke it up and down.
This caused Ye Guyue's body to tremble slightly, nearly eliciting a moan that he immediately forced back down.
Ye Guyue looked down to see Bibi Dong up to no good.
He dared not make any large movements, lest he be discovered.
Qian Daoliu spoke, finishing his own business before moving on to the main topic, his tone becoming extremely grave:
"There is one more matter. Over these past six months, there have been significant changes regarding the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Yu Yuanzhen even came to the Martial Soul Hall in person, willing to offer up Yu Luomian's daughter in exchange for Guyue's agreement to let his son, Yu Xiaogang, go."
Azure Luan Douluo was astonished, and disapproving of Yu Yuanzhen's methods, he said:
"Big Brother, isn't Yu Yuanzhen just forcing a transaction? Since it isn't even his own daughter, wouldn't doing this damage the unity within his clan?"
Qian Daoliu nodded:
"Third Brother, you are not wrong. When Yu Yuanzhen approached Ji'er at the time, he said that they could make the raw rice into cooked porridge, and that it would strengthen the relationship between our two great factions."
The other elders were stunned; this was indeed the first time they had heard of this.
Using someone else's daughter to save his own son?
"In the end, he was rejected by Ji'er, while Guyue was still outside at the time." Qian Daoliu leaned back in his chair and continued, "Eventually, word of this reached Yu Luomian's ears. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in great chaos now, and Yu Xiaogang has broken out of the dungeon and escaped; Yu Yuanzhen must have helped him in secret."
Ye Guyue's mouth twitched. Yu Yuanzhen couldn't get any benefit from him, so he actually went to the Martial Soul Hall instead.
"Father, I have arrived."
The doors of the Worship Hall were pushed open, and Qian Xunji, dressed in golden papal robes and looking handsome, walked in happily.
"I heard that the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden are expecting a child; this is truly a joyous occasion."
Qian Daoliu found an empty seat and sat down, but seeing his son's disappointed expression, he was puzzled:
"Father, what is wrong? You look like you've eaten a bitter melon."
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly, looking at him with a sense of "iron failing to become steel":
"You still have the nerve to ask? Look at Guyue, who will soon let me hold a grandchild, and then look at you. Have you still not found a suitable partner? My Qian family line cannot be broken."
As a father, Qian Daoliu's words made Qian Xunji lower his head in self-reproach.
It's over, he's here to nag.
"Father, you know how I toil day and night for the Martial Soul Hall." Qian Xunji offered an excuse.
"Bullshit!"
Qian Daoliu roared: "Do I not know you? Don't play dumb with me."
