Eternal madness

Chapter 170 Pregnancy
Xiao Li suddenly asked, "Ancestor, after you take this pill, what level of cultivation will you recover to? Will you be able to recover to your peak cultivation level?"

Xiao Kong looked at the greenish-blue pill: "It probably won't work. This pill is only close to the level of a Profound Pill. In the end, it's just a Grade 9 Treasure Pill. A regular Grade 9 Treasure Pill would probably only raise my cultivation by one or two minor realms."

A Grade Nine Profound Pill is what someone of my level should take, but to be honest, I've never taken a Grade Nine Profound Pill before. Cough cough, this Qiankun Tracing Origin Pill has a special effect and is specifically for Dou Sheng like me whose cultivation has dropped.

"The effect might be extraordinary; I estimate it could at least restore me to the mid-stage of a six-star Dou Sheng."

Xiao Li immediately deflated: "Huh? You've only recovered this little bit of cultivation?"

Xiao Kong said speechlessly, "What do you mean by 'this little bit of cultivation'? There's a huge difference between the peak of a five-star Dou Sheng and the mid-stage of a six-star Dou Sheng! It took me a full seventy years to go from the peak of a five-star Dou Sheng to the mid-stage of a six-star Dou Sheng!"

"So long? I've never been a Dou Sheng, so I don't know either," Xiao Li said, spreading his hands.

"At the level of Dou Sheng, the difference between even a small level is enormous. A low-level Dou Sheng might still have a way to fight against an enemy one or two levels higher, but at the level of a high-level Dou Sheng, the difference between even a small level is like heaven and earth."

For example, when I was at my peak, I was a late-stage eight-star Dou Sheng. I could kill a five-star Dou Sheng with a single slap. If my opponent was an early-stage eight-star Dou Sheng, I could also easily defeat them.

Therefore, Li'er, you still have a long way to go. Even though Clan Chief Xiao Xuan possesses extraordinary talent, it still took him a very long time to cultivate to the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng. Both the Soul and Ancient Clans have members who have reached the late stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Xiao Kong spoke slowly, then looked at Xiao Li and continued, "So, when we go to the ancient clan in the future, we'll enter the Heavenly Tomb to find the clan leader."

"You want to obtain the remaining Dou Di bloodline of our Xiao clan, right? Ancestor still says the same thing: I don't want the Dou Di bloodline. I've already cultivated to this level, why waste the Dou Di bloodline? I might as well leave it to my children in the future." Xiao Li still refused the Dou Di bloodline.

Xiao Kong also had a headache. Every time he brought up the matter of the Dou Di bloodline, Xiao Li would refuse. But this time the reason was different; it was about his own child.

Xiao Kong then looked at Yun Yun, then at Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou. He hoped that Xiao Li would have a child soon. Although the children of strong people are not necessarily gifted, Xiao Li, an eighth-grade alchemist, could easily raise the child's talent to a very high level.

When the time comes, entering the Heavenly Tomb and obtaining the bloodline of the Dou Di will allow one to defy fate and change their destiny.

Xiao Kong looked at Yun Yun again, then his pupils shrank, and he instantly appeared in front of Yun Yun.

"Ancestor?" Yun Yun didn't know why Xiao Kong suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Girl, show me one of your hands," Xiao Kong said earnestly.

Yun Yun, confused, stretched out her hand. Xiao Kong pressed his fingers on Yun Yun's pulse, his face immediately turning grim after a moment of joy.

Approaching Xiao Li from behind, one finds Xiao Li currently perusing the scrolls left behind by the Thousand Demon Saint.

bang——

With a deafening sound, Xiao Kong punched Xiao Li on the head, slamming Xiao Li's head into the ground.

"Still looking at these trivial things! The girl is pregnant! Don't you know?! What kind of husband are you?!" Xiao Kong shouted angrily.

Xiao Li pulled his head out of the ground and shook off the dust: "What? Yun'er is pregnant?"

Xiao Li immediately jumped up, went to Yun Yun's side, and personally took her pulse. Then, Xiao Li excitedly said, "It's a happy pulse! I'm going to be a father!"

Yun Yun felt an indescribable sense of happiness. She gently stroked her belly; she was going to be a mother.

Wang Ming also came to Yun Yun's side and then took her pulse: "It is indeed a pregnancy pulse. It has been more than twenty days. Girl, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Yun Yun pondered for a moment, then blushed and said, "It seems like my period hasn't come for several dozen days. I occasionally feel dizzy and sometimes feel like vomiting, but none of that affects my normal cultivation and sword practice."

Su Wanyin instantly appeared in front of Yun Yun, shoving Wang Ming aside and grabbing Yun Yun's hands: "Little Yun'er, these are the symptoms of pregnancy. Your master's wife is a mother herself, so of course she knows. Don't cultivate or practice swordsmanship these next few days. The first few weeks of pregnancy are the most unstable time for the fetus, so rest well during this period. The valley will prepare some medicinal meals specially for you during pregnancy. Also…"

The entire Yin Valley became busy afterward. The previous busyness was due to Su Wanyin's pregnancy, but now it was Elder Yunyun, the wife of Elder Xiao Li (who had broken through to the Dou Zun level and become an elder), who was pregnant, which was naturally a big event.

During this time, Xiao Li stopped cultivating and devoted himself to Yun Yun, either cooking for her or preparing medicinal meals for her.

. . . . . .

Four months later,

"Li, I want to go back to the Northwest Continent. My teacher doesn't know I'm pregnant yet, and I want to go back and tell him." At this moment, Yun Yun's belly was already slightly protruding.

"This..." Xiao Li pondered the problem carefully. He naturally hoped that Yun Yun could give birth peacefully in the Sound Realm. However, Yun Yun had become exceptionally sensitive after becoming pregnant and often had trouble sleeping. She must be homesick. A pregnant woman cannot afford to be depressed.

“Alright, let’s go back to the Northwest Continent. I’ll make some arrangements and also report to my master, mistress, Elder Su, and Ancestor.”

A few days later,
The Jia Ma Empire, the Xiao family
"As expected of the Ancestor, that's fast! You're back so quickly!" Xiao Li praised Xiao Kong as he helped Yun Yun up.

Xiao Kong: "It's just a basic operation for a Dou Sheng. Alright, we're home now. You should spend some quality time with Yun."

After Xiao Li returned home, Xiao Ting and Xiao Lin sensed his presence and came out. They found that Yun Yun's belly was slightly protruding and she had a relieved smile on her face, finally having resolved this important matter in her life.

Then the two of them discovered that their ancestor had been resurrected! It was truly a double blessing, with one good thing after another happening. The Xiao family was indeed blessed with great fortune.

Xiao Ting smiled and said, "In that case, I will go and call Old Man Yun over. Lin'er, you take Li'er and Yun'er inside to rest."

Xiao Lin then led Xiao Li, Yun Yun, and Xiao Kong to the main hall, where Xiao Zhan was handling family affairs.

"Uncle, you're back! Aunt, please take a seat!" Xiao Zhan saw his uncle and aunt returning and immediately came forward to greet them.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. You've already reached the Dou Wang level. It seems you haven't neglected your cultivation, Xiao Zhan. Keep up the good work, and your uncle will refine some more pills for you later." Xiao Li patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder and smiled.

"I will certainly live up to my uncle's expectations!" Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

Xiao Li smiled and then asked, "Bring your three little ones here to see; it's been a while since we've seen them."

"Yes!"

Before long, Xiao Zhan arrived with his three sons. His eldest son, Xiao Ding, was already a young man, and although he was still young, he was remarkably composed.

"Second Grandfather," Xiao Ding greeted Xiao Li.

The second son, Xiao Li, with his very lively personality, also showed his white baby teeth upon seeing Xiao Li: "Second Grandfather, hello!"

The third son, Xiao Yan, kept his eyes darting around before imitating his eldest brother, Xiao Ding, and bowing to Xiao Li, saying, "Second Grandfather."

Xiao Yan thought to himself, 'Is this the second grandfather my father mentioned? My grandfather's younger brother, he's so young, looks even younger than my father.'

"Hmm~ Hello, hello! Oh! Yan'er can talk already? Born precocious, truly a prodigy of the Xiao family. Come here, little Yanzi, let your second grandfather take a bite!"

Xiao Li said with a smile.
