Liu Erlong is Pregnant

"Hard work, everyone!"

Looking at the unconscious Hu Liena before him, Qian Yu stepped forward to lift her up, whispering softly.

He naturally had no ulterior motives toward Hu Liena; his gesture was born more from gratitude for her life-risking assistance.

He admitted that both Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were idiots, both spendthrifts.

But now, all their extravagance had been poured onto him—one had directly sacrificed everything, the other had risked her life to hunt a soul beast.

As long as one was human, one ought to acknowledge such a debt.

Before losing consciousness entirely, Hu Liena heard this sentence from Qian Yu in her dazed state, and the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

"As expected of Douluo Continent; aside from the nickname 'Romance Continent,' it also goes by the name 'Hormone Continent.'"

After picking up Hu Liena, Qian Yu finally realized the changes in his own body.

Merely by absorbing two soul rings, his height had shot up; at only six years old, he already stood at a full one meter forty-five.

Taking Hu Liena with him, Qian Yu did not return to Heaven Dou City immediately, but instead settled down in a small town near the Sunset Forest to recuperate and recover from their injuries.

During this period, aside from his daily soul power cultivation, Qian Yu spent the rest of his time studying Tang Sect Unique Skills.

The cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye had already entered the right track; relying on his powerful spiritual energy and the Angel Head Bone, he had quickly and easily mastered it. The current problem was a lack of purple energy, requiring him to absorb it punctually every day.

Recently, he wanted to try absorbing the Sun True Fire directly to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye.

For others, this would be extremely dangerous, but for him, possessing the Six-Winged Angel martial soul and the god-level Angel Head Bone, it was worth a try.

If he could improve the technique, the Purple Demon Eye would become even more compatible with him.

Beyond that, he also placed great importance on the Mysterious Jade Hand.

In this world of high offense and low defense that is Douluo Continent, aside from the Body Sect two ten-thousand years later who possessed the Flawless Golden Body method for tempering the physique, he had never heard of any similar techniques.

The Mysterious Jade Hand could condense soul power and temper the hands, making them as hard as iron; if he could take it a step further and spread it across his entire body, even reaching into his internal organs, it was not impossible to achieve a god-level physique even at the Title Douluo realm.

Compared to these two, he was not as invested in the other Tang Sect Unique Skills. Aside from occasionally practicing the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to complement his martial soul's combat style, he only studied the others briefly to understand their principles and extract what was useful.

In the blink of an eye, another half-month passed, and Hu Liena's injuries finally showed signs of improvement.

The Mysterious Heaven Skill had played a massive role in this.

If not for this technique, given Hu Liena's condition, she might have been bedridden for another ten days or half a month.

Only then did the two return to Heaven Dou City.

Coincidentally, the day they returned to Heaven Dou City was the day of the God Teacher's public lecture.

The former trash, now the God Teacher, Yu Xiaogang, was brimming with self-satisfaction.

Not only had he taught a god, but he was also an honored guest in both great empires and had a beautiful wife; he was truly in high spirits.

Wherever he went, he was showered with praise.

"There are no trash martial souls, only trash soul masters."

"This was the first lesson I taught the Sea God. It was by upholding this viewpoint that, under my guidance, he rose from a trash martial soul like the Blue Silver Grass, step by step, to become the Sea God."

"..."

In the most prosperous part of Heaven Dou City, Yu Xiaogang sat in a high position, speaking eloquently.

Those who came to support him were all of noble status.

Even the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Beng, had arrived in person, condescending to sit on the street and listen intently.

"I have to say, this Xue Beng is quite a character!"

Passing by, Qian Yu stopped his footsteps and watched all this with a smile.

"What kind of character is he? Just a shameless wretch. As an emperor of a nation, he acts like a dog, fawning over Yu Xiaogang's stinking feet."

Hu Liena felt extremely uncomfortable seeing this, especially when looking at Yu Xiaogang on the high platform.

Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

Most of the tragedy her teacher had experienced was caused by this primary culprit.

"Don't look down on Xue Beng. In the same position, could you lower your face to fawn like him?"

"Besides, no matter how much he fawns, he is fawning over the teacher of a god, not some trash."

After spending this time together, Qian Yu had restrained himself somewhat and was not being too sharp-tongued.

Otherwise, he would have directly named and shamed Bibi Dong.

"I..."

Hu Liena wanted to retort, but after opening her mouth, she realized she had no idea what to say.

Yes, in the same situation, could she set aside her pride to do such a thing?

Even now, fallen to such a state, she still held onto her pride—the pride of the former Martial Soul Hall Saintess, the pride of a genius.

"Is it already showing?"

Qian Yu's gaze wandered, landing on the two people sitting in the front row: Liu Erlong and Flender.

Liu Erlong was currently sporting a prominent baby bump, her face filled with adoration as she gazed up at Yu Xiaogang, who was holding court on the high platform.

The look on her face was one of devotion that went straight to the bone.

Beside her sat Flender, who was carefully tending to Liu Erlong's every need with the utmost caution.

Anyone who didn't know better might have thought the child in Liu Erlong's womb was his.

If one were to talk about being a sycophant, wasn't there a prime example right here?

In the past, Flender only fawned over Liu Erlong, but now he was not only fawning over her, he was also going all out to fawn over Yu Xiaogang.

He simply wanted to leverage Yu Xiaogang's fame to promote Shrek Academy, which was set to open in half a year.

The title of God Teacher was enough to attract a massive following.

Down in the audience, Flender constantly catered to Liu Erlong's whispered requests; one moment he was handing her water, the next he was retrieving various fruits from his Soul Tool, patiently peeling them before offering them to her.

He seemed to be enjoying every minute of it.

From time to time, he would cast meaningful glances at Yu Xiaogang on the stage, hoping he would take this opportunity to put in a word for Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang had noticed Flender's signals long ago, but the reason he hadn't responded was that he was playing hard to get.

Even if it was a request from his old brother, if he agreed too easily, wouldn't his status as a God Teacher lose its luster?

Seeing Flender bustling about, Yu Xiaogang finally nodded to himself in satisfaction before proceeding to promote Shrek Academy.

Qian Yu's gaze was currently lingering mostly on Liu Erlong.

To be precise, it was fixed on her protruding belly.

He felt that he could stir up some trouble.

Even if he couldn't step out personally, he could spread some rumors to sow discord among the enemy's ranks.

As for whether this would affect the unborn child, he didn't care in the slightest.

No, let's rephrase that.

I am making a massive contribution to the continuation of human civilization; the product of inbreeding is highly likely to suffer from congenital diseases and should not exist in this world.

Shouldn't we prioritize eugenics?

A holy smile appeared on Qian Yu's face; he was about to start swinging the moral cudgel.
