Chapter 71: Chapter 71: I Want a Child Too
Dugu Yan was, unsurprisingly, pregnant.
Dugu Bo had been secretly preparing countless tonics and medicinal supplements to support her pregnancy. After careful examination, it was confirmed—Dugu Yan was already two weeks along.
That night, Dugu Yan lay quietly in Meng Bei's arms, gently touching her flat stomach. She still found it hard to believe and said,
"I can't believe it… I'm already having a baby!"
Meng Bei ran his fingers through her silky hair and caressed her smooth skin. Compared to Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan was slightly fuller but still had no excess fat. She was soft and curvaceous, and Meng Bei couldn't get enough of her.
Dugu Yan mischievously grabbed his hand and guided him toward mischief. Being older than Meng Bei, she was always the one to take the initiative and entice him into moments of passion.
However, things were different now. The first three months of pregnancy required abstinence. Meng Bei was disciplined and refrained, no matter how much Dugu Yan tried to seduce him.
After coaxing Dugu Yan to sleep, Meng Bei quietly left and headed to Xiao Wu's room.
Unlike Dugu Yan, Meng Bei didn't need to be gentle with the alluring rabbit girl.
He pinned her delicate hands together, lifted her up, and pressed her against the windowsill, admiring the view.
With her feet dangling in the air, clad in white socks, Xiao Wu struggled helplessly. Meng Bei grabbed her ankles, lifting them up as well, and toyed with her to his heart's content.
Only Xiao Wu's flexible body could handle such intense positions.
She even turned back with a pitiful expression, sticking out her tongue cutely and whispering,
"Meng Bei… I want a baby too!"
What a fiery little rabbit!
Meng Bei's eyes darkened with desire. He hoisted her up, carried her over his shoulder, and dominated her completely until she was begging for mercy.
Days Passed.
Meng Bei continued to spend his days alternating between Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu.
With Dugu Yan pregnant, Dugu Bo relaxed a bit.
The situation was already settled. Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan stormed the mountain, Dugu Bo wasn't worried anymore.
At worst, he could give Meng Bei back to them. But with Dugu Yan's baby in the picture, Dugu Bo was certain Meng Bei would eventually return to them.
Still, delaying for more time was ideal.
Dugu Bo reinforced the poison formations around the area, adding secondary toxins to slow down their advance.
Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Meanwhile, Meng Bei turned his attention to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Previously, he'd been too preoccupied with winning over Dugu Yan and then too distracted by pleasures. Now, with some free time, he decided to explore this legendary treasure trove.
The place was a natural wonder, filled with mysterious herbs and rare plants. Meng Bei carefully entered with Tang Hao by his side.
There, he saw the famed immortal herbs—though he didn't recognize most of them. Many looked similar, and only the most distinct ones stood out, such as:
Strange Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Yearning Heartbroken Red, Fiery Apricot and Star Anise Ice Grass, which grew on opposite sides of the Yin-Yang Well.
Suddenly, a system notification rang in his mind:
[Ding! Main Quest Triggered!]
[Main Quest: Legendary Herbs for Seven Monsters.]
[Mission Details: By chance, you've discovered the treasure meant for Tang San. To compensate for his loss, you must give him at least seven immortal herbs and let him distribute them as he pleases.]
[Difficulty: Nightmare]
[Reward: Eternal Frost Heaven Grass.]
[Effect: Grants +10 Soul Power levels and imbues the martial soul with ultimate ice properties. Your cultivation speed will temporarily increase based on the value of items you selflessly give away.]
Meng Bei paused, a sly smile curling his lips.
Giving the herbs to Tang San? Easy. But whether Tang San could actually take them away… that was another story.
"Looks like I'll be helping my good brother again," Meng Bei mused.
Tempted by the Well.
Continuing to explore, Meng Bei followed the intense pull of his martial soul toward the center of the Yin-Yang Well.
Initially, he thought it was calling out to a specific herb. But as he drew closer, he realized—his soul craved the well itself!
Standing by the icy spring, Meng Bei spotted the Star Anise Ice Grass, an extremely rare treasure. Yet his martial soul showed no interest in it.
Instead, it fixated on the spring's energy.
Meng Bei cautiously dipped his hand into the icy waters.
An overwhelming chill surged into his body, and his soul power began breaking through the bottleneck at level 50.
Summoning his martial soul, an icy-blue spirit ring began to form.
But the cold was unbearable!
After ten minutes, Meng Bei's hand turned numb and frosty, forcing him to pull back. The ring formation halted, and his breakthrough stalled.
Realizing he couldn't let the ring dissipate, Meng Bei plunged his other hand into the spring, alternating between his hands and even using his feet to withstand the freezing energy.
He cycled through this torturous process for two hours, his limbs numb and frozen, before finally completing the absorption.
A 30,000–40,000-year Ice-Blue Spirit Ring materialized.
Unlike ordinary black spirit rings, this one shimmered with an icy glow due to its origin.
New Ability: Frost Dragon Breath.
The spirit ring granted Meng Bei a powerful offensive skill—Frost Dragon Breath.
Despite its icy name, this ability manifested as a cold flame.
The flame, blue-white in color, burned anything it touched, growing colder the longer it burned.
Instead of turning enemies to ash, it froze them into crystals!
With the energy stored in his body, Meng Bei's soul power skyrocketed after the breakthrough, jumping to Level 56 before stabilizing.
Meng Bei stood by the spring, admiring his newfound strength.
"Not bad… but this is just the beginning."
