[Ding! Through the host's efforts, Wife Bibi Dong is pregnant.]
One day, just as Su Bai and Bibi Dong were about to share an intimate moment, a notification from the system interrupted them, causing Su Bai to pause.
With her eyes tightly shut, Bibi Dong couldn't feel her lover's touch, prompting her to open them in confusion.
"What's going on?" Su Bai was still lost in his thoughts.
The news of impending happiness had taken him by surprise; he hadn't expected their second child to arrive so soon.
Upon hearing her lover's words, Su Bai exclaimed excitedly, "Dong'er, I have incredible news for you. You're going to be a mother."
"Huh?" Bibi Dong looked puzzled.
Su Bai explained, "Just now, I felt a spark of life in your belly. Dong'er, you're pregnant."
"Really?" Bibi Dong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Instantly, Bibi Dong sat up, overcome with excitement. "Are you saying I'm carrying our baby?"
Su Bai nodded eagerly.
"That's amazing!"
Bibi Dong was overjoyed. The realization that their love had created a new life filled her with happiness.
But soon, her expression turned anxious. "Su Bai, what do we do now?"
"What's the matter?" Su Bai asked, perplexed.
Having a baby should be a cause for celebration.
Was Bibi Dong worried about complications with Qian Xunji?
But then he realized he was overthinking things.
Expressing her concerns, Bibi Dong said, "Su Bai, this is my first time being a mother. What if I don't know how to be a good mom?"
Su Bai couldn't help but chuckle softly at her sudden insecurity.
"Why are you laughing?" Bibi Dong shot him a look, clearly annoyed.
Quickly composing himself, Su Bai reassured her, "Dong'er, no one is born knowing everything, but we can learn together. Your kindness and compassion make me confident you'll be an amazing mother."
"Really? Do you really think so?" Bibi Dong sounded uncertain.
Despite her usual confidence, the prospect of motherhood left her feeling vulnerable.
"Absolutely. We'll figure it out together."
Su Bai comforted her before adding with a touch of humor, "But for now, let's focus on taking care of yourself and ensuring our baby grows up healthy and strong."
"Okay, I'll do my best."
...
Under Su Bai's attentive care, time flew by quickly.
Before they knew it, it was time for Bibi Dong to give birth.
Su Bai had made all the necessary arrangements well in advance, including securing the services of a skilled midwife.
Initially, he thought being a father for the second time wouldn't make him as nervous as the first time. But at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious and worried.
Although the Douluo Continent was a tough place because of his previous life, he always remembered a saying: when a woman gives birth, it's like passing through the gates of hell.
But his worry soon dissipated.
"Wah..."
After a long wait, Su Bai finally heard the baby's cries and breathed a sigh of relief.
The midwife emerged, cradling the newborn, and congratulated, "Congratulations, Master Soul Master, on the birth of your daughter."
Another daughter?
Su Bai chuckled.
He adored daughters; they were always daddy's little angels.
With joy brimming, Su Bai took his daughter and pulled out a handful of gold soul coins, confidently saying, "Take this as a reward."
"Thank you, Soul Master. Thank you!"
After expressing her gratitude, the midwife left.
Su Bai played with his daughter for a while before joining Bibi Dong by her bedside.
Seeing Bibi Dong's pallid face, he felt a surge of empathy. "Dong'er, you've been through so much."
Bibi Dong shook her head weakly, mustering a smile. "For you, it's all worth it. Let me see our little one."
Su Bai gently placed his daughter in Bibi Dong's arms. He grinned. "This little one takes after you. I bet she'll grow beautiful, just like her mother."
Bibi Dong chuckled through her tears. "But she's just been born. How can you already tell?"
Su Bai persisted, "I just know. With our exceptional genes, our daughter is destined for greatness."
"Alright, alright, alright!"
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes playfully, signaling, "Why are you still standing there? I need to feed the baby."
Su Bai smirked. "What's the big deal? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Behave yourself."
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes again, ignoring his jest.
After a while, the baby drifted off to sleep in Bibi Dong's arms.
Turning to Su Bai, Bibi Dong asked, "Have you thought of a name for her?"
Su Bai pondered momentarily and suggested, "How about Su Renxue?"
"That's a lovely name."
Bibi Dong nodded in agreement, smiling. "And since you're the father, it's only fitting that you choose her name."
[Ding! Bibi Dong gave birth to a child. Reward: Cultivation increased by 60 thousand years. Artifact: Dragon God's Heart.]
Oh?
Has the reward arrived?
Not bad at all. His cultivation has increased by another sixty thousand years.
Su Bai's expression shifted suddenly.
Does this mean he has to face the tribulation again?
Could it be as sudden as last time?
Fortunately, there was no sign of it after waiting for a while.
According to the system's information, Su Bai learned that the tribulation would occur autonomously every 100,000 years.
In other words, as long as Su Bai was willing, he could initiate the tribulation whenever he wanted.
This made things much more convenient.
His identity might be exposed if it happened again, like last time.
Moreover, according to the system's description, the biggest gain from this reward isn't cultivation but the divine artifact of the Dragon God's Heart.
The Dragon God's Heart is an auxiliary divine artifact.
It's condensed from the essence of the Dragon God's entire body, containing immense energy that greatly benefits spiritual power enhancement.
Moreover, cultivating can rapidly advance by absorbing the energy within the Dragon God's Heart.
Simply carrying it allows for autonomous cultivation enhancement.
In other words, wearing the Dragon God's Heart automatically increases cultivation, even without active cultivation.
The energy within the Dragon God's Heart can also be used as reserve energy.
For example, when Su Bai exhausts his energy during a battle with a formidable opponent, he can replenish it using the energy from the Dragon God's Heart to reach optimal conditions.
Furthermore, if the energy within the Dragon God's Heart is not fully depleted, it will autonomously replenish over time.
It's truly extraordinary.
The rarity of the Dragon God's Heart surpasses even that of the Divine Abyssal Halberd.
Unsurprisingly, Bibi Dong, his wife, is so remarkable.
Su Bai was so excited!
One month later,
Bibi Dong returned to the Martial Soul City with Su Renxue.
Since their baby needed lots of attention, Bibi Dong decided to care for her.
"Hey, Dong'er, you're back!" greeted Qian Xunji as soon as Bibi Dong entered the Martial Soul Temple.
But as soon as he saw the baby in Bibi Dong's arms, he looked surprised.
"Who's this baby?" he asked, sounding hopeful.
Bibi Dong answered calmly, "Didn't you guess already? Yes, she's mine and Su Bai's daughter."
"What!" Qian Xunji looked shocked. "You had a baby with that guy?"
Qian Xunji's face turned pale, looking really angry as he stared at the baby.
He just couldn't accept it.
"Why are you talking about my daughter like that? Who said you could?" Bibi Dong responded firmly, then left without looking back at Qian Xunji.
Puff!
Qian Xunji started coughing up blood as he watched Bibi Dong walk away calmly, feeling like everything had changed.
His loyal disciple had turned against him, all because of that man!
