It was only after they consumed the immortal herbs that his good brother truly became a girl, allowing them to finally be together for real.
Because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they naturally ended up together in the end.
Especially that day, when Yue Guan blushed, gently pinched his hand with his fingertips, and whispered that he was pregnant, he froze on the spot, unable to recover his senses for a long time.
He had lived for over sixty years and never imagined that a man like him could have a home, a lover whose heart and eyes were filled only with him, and a child belonging to both of them.
Just then, a clear cry from a baby suddenly rang out in the delivery room, piercing the silence of the courtyard and instantly tightening Gui Mei's heart.
His body stiffened abruptly, and the next second, disregarding all decorum, he pushed the door open and rushed inside.
The delivery room was filled with a faint scent of blood and the elegant fragrance of chrysanthemums; the midwife was holding a small swaddle, her face full of irrepressible smiles.
On the bed, Yue Guan's face was pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and his long hair, usually meticulously groomed, was messily plastered against his cheeks, yet he could not hide the bright and moving beauty of his features.
A healing-type Soul Master and a food-type Soul Master were beside him, providing treatment and replenishing his blood and energy.
Even if their combat power was at the bottom of the barrel, the consumption of blood and energy required to conceive offspring—especially for high-level cultivators—was real and far more significant than it would be for ordinary people.
Seeing Gui Mei rush in, he smiled weakly, his voice hoarse: "Gui Mei, you're here..."
Gui Mei took two steps in one, rushing to the bedside. He first reached out to firmly grasp Yue Guan's cold hand, his eyes filled with an ache that could not be melted away, his voice even trembling: "Ah Yue, you've worked hard. Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable? Are you tired?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Besides, with these two supporting me, I can recover in time."
Yue Guan shook his head, his gaze shifting to the swaddle in the midwife's arms, his eyes full of tenderness: "Look at our child."
Only then did Gui Mei turn his head to look at that small bundle. His movements were as stiff as if he were grasping his Martial Soul for the first time, and he subconsciously softened his breathing, terrified that if he used too much strength, he would hurt the little one in his arms.
The midwife hurried forward, carefully handing over the swaddle, and smiled to offer her congratulations: "Congratulations, Lord Ghost Douluo! Congratulations! It's a healthy little young master! It's just... the little young master is so delicate, his features as exquisite as a little girl in a painting. If one doesn't look closely, anyone would mistake him for a baby girl. When he grows up, he will surely be a peerless beauty of a man!"
Gui Mei reached out to take the swaddle and looked down.
The baby in the swaddle was very small, his skin like carved jade. His long eyelashes were like little fans, his nose was dainty, and his lips were pink and tender. His features were almost a perfect replica of Yue Guan's bright and exquisite beauty, with only a hint of imperceptible coldness between his brows that looked exactly like his own.
Even though he was a boy through and through, he looked even more delicate and beautiful than the little girls of ordinary noble families.
Gui Mei's heart melted instantly.
His eyes, which were usually gloomy and cold, were now startlingly bright, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. Having lived for over sixty years, there had never been a moment where he felt as complete as he did now.
"What nonsense are you spouting."
He raised his eyes to glance at the midwife, his tone devoid of any dissatisfaction, filled only with protective instincts: "My son takes after his mother. What's wrong with being good-looking?"
Watching him like this, Yue Guan couldn't help but laugh, the exhaustion in his heart dissipating by more than half. He whispered: "Don't just be happy, give the child a name."
Gui Mei lowered his head, looking at the little one sleeping soundly in his arms. After pondering for a moment, he said: "He will take my surname, Gui, and his name will include your character, Guan. Let's call him Gui Mengguan. 'Meng' for his soft, fluffy appearance, and 'Guan' for your name. How about it?"
"Gui Mengguan..."
Yue Guan whispered it once, his eyes full of smiles: "Good, let's go with that name."
Just then, the eyes of Gui Mengguan, who was sleeping in the swaddle, twitched, and his little body stiffened abruptly.
On the surface, he was still a quiet, sleeping baby, but his mind was already in chaos.
????? Gui Mengguan? Gui Mei? Yue Guan???
Holy crap??? My dad is the Ghost Douluo, Gui Mei? My mom is the Chrysanthemum Douluo, Yue Guan???
He was clearly staying up late reading Douluo fanfiction just a second ago, and he fell asleep while reading—how did he become a newborn baby the moment he opened his eyes???
Wait, that's not right! Isn't Chrysanthemum Douluo a pure man??? How did he become my mom??? What did they say just now? Ate an immortal herb and changed gender??? And got together with Ghost Douluo and gave birth to me???
What kind of cursed, modified Douluo world is this?!
Gui Mengguan felt completely numb, his worldview shattered into pieces.
He had read countless fanfics and remembered the original Douluo plot well enough, but he had never seen such an outrageous storyline!
Just as he was doubting his existence, the door to the delivery room was kicked open with a "bang." Guang Ling Douluo led the charge, followed by a group of Title Douluo here to watch the excitement.
"Yue Guan! Gui Mei! We're here to offer our congratulations!"
Guang Ling Douluo rushed excitedly to Gui Mei's side, leaning in to look at Gui Mengguan in the swaddle. His eyes lit up instantly: "My god! This kid is too good-looking! Carved out of jade, exactly like Yue Guan when he was young! If I didn't know it was a little young master, I would have thought it was a little girl!"
As he spoke, he reached out a finger, wanting to poke Gui Mengguan's soft, chubby cheek.
Gui Mei shifted his body, immediately dodging his hand and shielding the child tightly, looking vigilant, just like a protective mother hen: "Don't touch. Your hands are cold; you'll freeze the child."
"Hey! You guy, you've become a father and now you're hoarding your food!" Guang Ling Douluo curled his lips, but he didn't lean in again.
Falling Devil Douluo leaned over and laughed boisterously: "Not bad, Gui Mei! At your age, you actually have a son! This kid has your edge between his brows; he'll definitely be a good seed for a Title Douluo in the future!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Yue Guan on the bed and Gui Mei, who was holding the child. His aged face was full of smiles: "Congratulations to you both. After forty years of companionship, you have finally achieved a happy ending. From now on, you are a family of three."
Yue Guan's face flushed slightly, and he nodded at the crowd with a smile, his eyes filled with irrepressible happiness.
The delivery room was a scene of chaos, warm and lively.
No one noticed that Gui Mengguan, inside the swaddle, was rolling his little eyes around. Looking at this group of living Title Douluo, he had already started making plans.
Since I'm already here, what is there to fear?
My dad and mom are the famous duo of Martial Soul Hall, and now the Elders of the Worship Hall are all doting on me. Even if I have a little girl's face, I can still walk sideways in this Douluo world!
Gui Mengguan curled his little mouth and flashed a toothless, brilliant smile at Guang Ling Douluo, who was leaning in.
