The baby's eyes were clear and innocent as it stared at the army of yin corpses with watery eyes. Its little mouth opened, and it burst into a wail.
"Waaah, waaah."
The childish yet piercing cries echoed through the valley and the passageway. Little Round and the others, who were fleeing deeper into the passage, inevitably heard the baby's crying.
The next second, their lower bellies swelled slightly. Within seconds, they felt fetal movement, followed by shrill infant cries.
"...Yuanshi Tianzun, couldn't you have waited a little longer?" Xiahou Aotian braced himself against the passage wall and cursed as he hopped in pain.
How could the mighty protagonist be allowed to get pregnant in public? Did he have no dignity left?
The moment he finished cursing, he slumped against the wall, clutching his rapidly expanding belly and groaning in agony.
Little Round supported herself against the wall with one hand while covering her lower abdomen with the other, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.
She had never imagined that one day she would experience pregnancy in such a way—and that Yuanshi Tianzun would be the culprit.
Guan Ya had been carrying Sun Miaomiao on her back while fleeing. Sun Miaomiao had suffered a fatal wound and needed time to heal herself, leaving her unable to move.
But once the crying began, Guan Ya could barely look after herself. She leaned against the stone wall, holding her ball-like belly as pain drained the color from her pretty face and knitted her brows tightly together.
"I-I-I'm pregnant? Pervert, Yuanshi Tianzun is a total pervert..." Asano Ryo propped herself up with her blade and stared down at her lower abdomen, looking as though she were about to cry.
She was enduring labor pains no one her age should have had to bear.
