Shenron ③

"I'm sorry, but I cannot grant your wish!" Shenron's deep, magnetic voice exploded through the air like muffled thunder, making everyone's ears ring.

"How could this be... Sister really can't come back?" Ai Haibara's once-bright eyes instantly dimmed, her face filled with undisguised disappointment. Crystal-clear tears welled in her eyes, seeming ready to fall at any moment.

"Wife, don't cry!" Lin Yu pulled Ai Haibara tightly into his arms, his heart aching for her as he comforted her softly. "This useless damn Shenron can't do it, but we can think of other ways. Don't be sad, baby."

Ran Mouri hurried over as well, gently patting Ai Haibara's shoulder as she said softly, "That's right, Xiao Ai. Don't be too sad. We'll definitely find a way to bring Akemi back to life."

Akako Koizumi chimed in, "Exactly, exactly! Xiao Ai, don't cry. What kind of Shenron is this? I think it's just a stinking loach, completely useless. Hmph!"

"(｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡:)"

Hearing someone belittle him like that, how could Shenron, a lofty being, possibly endure it?

"Hmph, ignorant mortals. Do you know that her sister's body was reduced to ashes long ago? Without a physical body, how could I revive her? However, there are now two possible methods. The first is for you to make another wish and have me reconstruct her sister's body first. Then, after waiting one year for the Dragon Balls to regain their power, you may wish for her resurrection."

"What's the second method?" Akako Koizumi asked impatiently.

Shenron replied unhurriedly, "As for the second method, it is naturally quite simple. I can summon her sister's soul, and since your wife is already pregnant, I can help her sister's soul reincarnate in her womb."

"Xiao Ai, you're pregnant?" Lin Yu's eyes widened in delight. Then he couldn't help thinking, Strange, why hasn't the Many Children, Many Blessings System reacted? Could it be broken?

Only then did the system notification arrive fashionably late, like a bashful young lady: [Ding, congratulations to the host on gaining a daughter. You have received the Commentary Energy Collector.]

Hearing the system's voice, Lin Yu could not help rolling his eyes and muttering, "Heh, this damn system really is late to the party. And what the hell is Commentary Energy? Did it even bring in alien technology from The 10th King of Comedy just to make up the numbers?"

Meanwhile, Ai Haibara lowered her head, a faint blush spreading across her face as she nodded shyly. In truth, she had already conceived their child the last time Lin Yu returned to the Dragon Ball World. She simply had never told him.

Looking at his bashful wife, Lin Yu's heart overflowed with joy and emotion. He gently stroked Ai Haibara's stomach, feeling the life stirring within, as though he could hear the baby's heartbeat.

"Wife, which of the two methods he mentioned do you choose?" Lin Yu asked gently.

Ai Haibara hesitated before answering softly, "The second one." After all, the first method required waiting another year, and she could not wait that long. Besides, with the second method, her sister would become her child. At the thought of her own sister calling her Mom, Ai Haibara actually felt a little anticipation.

"Very well. Since you have made your choice, leave the rest to me." As Shenron spoke, red light flared from his eyes.

A burst of dazzling light flashed, and Ai Haibara felt a warm force envelop her abdomen. She nervously gripped Lin Yu's hand, waiting for the miracle to happen.

A moment later, the light gradually faded, and Ai Haibara's face turned somewhat pale. Lin Yu asked anxiously, "Wife, how are you? Are you alright?"

Ai Haibara shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine, just a little tired." Her gaze fell upon her stomach, where a faint pulse of life seemed to be stirring.

"It seems Sister's soul has successfully reincarnated." Ai Haibara said softly, happy tears glimmering in her eyes. "Sister, from now on, I'll protect you..."

"Your wish has been granted. Farewell!" With that, Shenron broke apart into seven streams of light and flew in different directions. But how could Lin Yu let them escape? He still needed to bring these Dragon Balls back to the Dragon Ball World. If the Dragon Ball World had no Dragon Balls, wouldn't everything fall into chaos?
