Huo Wu Was Pregnant, and the Great Phoenix Bird Was Indeed Formidable

Inside the cave on Phoenix Emperor Mountain.

A lone man and woman.

Yan Buhui and Huo Wu shared a room, which could be considered living together. Although they had yet to hold a wedding ceremony, they had already become husband and wife in all but name, and now they even had a child.

It was just as they said: if you didn't hurry, the girl you liked would become someone else's wife.

Youth waited for no one, and a girl's youth waited even less.

"You're pregnant. How can you still do these household chores? Let me handle them all!"

Yan Buhui took the fruit platter from her and spoke to Huo Wu.

Huo Wu was astonished when she heard him.

So the discomfort and vomiting of the past few days had actually been morning sickness. She was pregnant, yet she hadn't noticed at all during this time.

That made sense. She had gone from a maiden to a married woman in an instant; anyone in her place would have been none the wiser. Being able to bear Yan Buhui's child was also one of the great blessings of her life!

After all, this was the child of an Evil Fire Phoenix. As the old saying went, whatever you gave birth to, it was better to lay a phoenix egg!

"No wonder... I've felt unwell these past few days."

"So I'm expecting," Huo Wu murmured.

"Hehe, now that you're pregnant, get plenty of rest. Your husband will take care of you for the time being."

Yan Buhui knew full well the pain a woman endured carrying a child for ten months. She was in for a great deal of suffering. Fortunately, Huo Wu was a Soul Master, and her physical constitution was far stronger than that of an ordinary human!

On top of that, the Soul Power Huo Wu cultivated was fire-attribute Soul Power.

Through their intermingling of essence during this time, Huo Wu had not only grown more beautiful, but her Soul Power and physique had also been cleansed and tempered by Yan Buhui. Because of this, Huo Wu could likewise use Yan Buhui's ultimate flame ability.

Every few days, Yan Buhui would personally nourish Huo Wu's delicate, petite body.

Huo Wu had gone from constantly resisting at first to gradually cooperating later, all through genuine skill honed with real blades and spears.

This was to train her body to become the mother of fire phoenixes.

It was just that her postpartum confinement would be considerably more troublesome.

"Buhui, I want to share this happy news with my father and elder brother."

After thinking for a moment, Huo Wu spoke to Yan Buhui.

"Mm, of course. This is good news. Let's see if we have time, and I'll take you back to Blazing Fire Academy."

Yan Buhui considered that one was his future father-in-law and the other his brother-in-law, so he agreed. The bride's family were his in-laws too. He wondered whether Blazing Fire Academy would come looking to trouble him again in the coming days.

Of course, Yan Buhui had no need to worry.

As long as the three great Limit Douluo didn't emerge from seclusion.

He could settle things easily.

He was an existence invincible beneath the god level.

With that,

Yan Buhui pulled Huo Wu into his arms, fed her a grape, and said gently, "A Wu, now that we have a child, have you thought about giving him a name?"

"A name?"

Huo Wu smiled calmly. "I... don't have much education. The names I come up with won't sound nice or endearing. You pick one."

"Let me think."

Yan Buhui wondered whether there were any famous people who shared his surname. And if they had a girl, what should they call her?

"Hmm?"

Huo Wu then asked, "Husband, have you decided?"

"How about this, A Wu?"

"If it's a boy, we'll call him Yan Xingtian. I just got an axe called the Xingtian Axe. I don't think a weapon like that really suits me. I'm used to wielding blades and spears, and if you suddenly hand me an axe, I really don't know how to use it. I plan to leave it for him. Xingtian was a hero hailed as a war god. I think that if my son is born, he'll definitely be a war god and a hero!"

Yan Buhui gathered his thoughts, then added, "For a girl, it would be better to take after you. How about we combine our names? What do you think of Yan Wu?"

Huo Wu accepted part of Yan Buhui's suggestion and discussed it with him. "I think Yan Xingtian is a really cool name for a boy! That one works!"

"As for a girl, Yan Wu... hmm, it's a little too plain. We could add another character."

"Which character?"

Yan Buhui smiled, rubbed his nose, and asked.

"Aren't you an Evil Fire Phoenix? The feng represents the male, and the huang represents the female. How about, if it's a girl, we call her Yan Fengwu?"

Huo Wu pressed a finger against Yan Buhui's lips and explained.

"Fengwu... Fengwu..."

"Excellent, excellent!"

Yan Buhui laughed happily. "I've never been as happy as I am today!"

"A Wu! Thank you. I'm going to be a father!"

"I've dreamed countless times about becoming a father. Before, though, I was always someone else's son. It's my first time being a father, so I'm really not used to it."

Huo Wu gave a helpless, wry smile and teased him. "You! You're a grown man, yet you're always so naughty. Didn't I often call you daddy when we were enjoying ourselves before?"

"Hehe! That doesn't count!"

Yan Buhui smiled awkwardly. "I like hearing little children call me that. It gives me more of a sense of accomplishment. Those sweet little baby voices are so cute."

"Hmph!"

"Once the baby's born, you'll find it troublesome. Then you won't take care of the child and will just leave everything to me!"

Huo Wu pretended to be offended and replied with a pout.

"No, no!"

"I'm the world's one and only limited-edition good man!"

"Look, is there another man on the whole Douluo Continent who loves his wife more than I do? Hardly."

Yan Buhui shamelessly sang his own praises.

Even if the deeply devoted Great God King Tang came, he would say the same thing.

Even if the other man said, "You've already found a way to get yourself killed!"

That wouldn't matter either.

In any case, Little Scumbag should still be studying at Shrek Academy right now.

He couldn't amount to much.

"Oh! You say that without even blushing. You really are shameless to the very end."

Huo Wu retorted.

"Hehe! Listen to you. Isn't this the end of the road-our home? I'm at home, so can't I play the rogue a little?"

Yan Buhui shrugged, unbothered.

On Phoenix Emperor Mountain, when he said one, no one dared say two.

After all, his strength was there for all to see.

He needed the bearing to say, "I've finished speaking. Who agrees, and who objects?"

"By the way, I plan to give you a strand of this."

With that,

Yan Buhui gathered a cluster of the Fallen Heart Flame's Heart Fire in his palm.

Huo Wu's expression changed slightly when she saw it, and she asked in surprise, "Buhui, what is this?"

"This is the Fallen Heart Flame's Heart Fire. It can continually forge a cultivator's body with its heat and steadily improve their cultivation. For a Soul Master, it's a rare way to improve. I'll give you a strand of the Heart Fire now."

As Yan Buhui controlled the Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire, he patiently explained it to Huo Wu.

"Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire?" Huo Wu relaxed her guard and said with feeling, "I see... Can it raise my Soul Power Level?"

"In theory, it should."

Yan Buhui explained, "Now that you have the essence flame from our intermingling, plus the tempering heat of this Fallen Heart Flame Heart Fire, I expect your future breakthrough to Titled Douluo will no longer be uncertain. At the very least, you'll cultivate three to five times as fast as an ordinary Soul Master."
