Liu Nanfeng had a beautiful dream.
In his dream, Su Jinxiu gave birth to a baby for him. The baby looked a bit like the little koi fish, and a bit not. It was plump, like the New Year pictures pasted on the window by Yu Huilan during festivals.
The baby had only two big front teeth. When it smiled, it was especially delightful.
It toddled over, opened its chubby arms, and gurgled "Daddy," wanting to be held.
A gentle warmth flowed from the bottom of Liu Nanfeng's heart as he gently picked it up.
The little girl cooed and kissed his cheeks twice, leaving his face covered in slobber.
At that moment, he suddenly felt his collar being tugged. Looking down, he saw the little koi fish, her eyes full of expectation, also opening her arms for a hug.
Just as Liu Nanfeng bent down to pick her up, he woke up.
He turned his head to see that it was already dawn. Su Jinxiu had already gotten up. He sat up, feeling a sense of emptiness in his lower back and his legs felt a little weak.
"That vixen is going to be the death of me."
Thinking about the wildness of last night, Liu Nanfeng still felt a lingering fear. If anyone else had been treated like this, they would have been emaciated and on the verge of death.
The ancients were not wrong; demons indeed eat people.
Liu Nanfeng got out of bed, dressed, and walked out of the room.
Then he saw Su Jinxiu sitting blankly on the living room sofa with her arms crossed, her eyes unfocused as she stared straight ahead. She would occasionally smile at the corners of her mouth. He had never seen her like this before.
He glanced at the dining table beside her. The table was empty. At this hour, she would usually have breakfast ready.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?" Liu Nanfeng walked over and gently patted her shoulder.
"Husband."
Su Jinxiu turned her head upon hearing his voice, then stood up directly, her face beaming with immense surprise. She jumped onto him.
Liu Nanfeng reached out to support her perky buttocks, afraid she would fall.
He then tilted his head back and asked Su Jinxiu, who was almost touching his face, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Before Su Jinxiu could finish speaking, the door to the adjacent room opened, and Su Huamei emerged, yawning.
Seeing them embracing, she immediately expressed her displeasure, "That's too much! It's one thing to have been up all night, but this early in the morning, you're going to start again in the living room?"
Su Jinxiu's cheeks turned slightly red. She snorted and reached out to turn Liu Nanfeng's head, which was looking at Su Huamei, and kissed him on the lips several times.
Liu Nanfeng was somewhat stunned by her bold and unrestrained demeanor.
Before, with Su Huamei present, she had restrained herself to maintain her elder sister's dignity, but now she was completely unrestrained.
Especially the last deep kiss, which almost suffocated Liu Nanfeng.
Although Su Huamei was displeased, seeing Su Jinxiu so excited, she seemed to understand something and sat down on the sofa beside them with anticipation.
Normally, Liu Nanfeng would have reacted too, but he was almost suffocating from the kiss and couldn't think of anything else.
However, after the kiss ended, Su Jinxiu, panting with flushed cheeks, announced loudly, "I'm pregnant."
"Huh? Really?" Liu Nanfeng asked in surprise.
"Of course, it's true," Su Jinxiu pouted in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't mean it like that. I mean, are you sure? Did you make a mistake?" Liu Nanfeng couldn't hide his excitement either.
"Do I not know my own body?" Su Jinxiu released her legs from around Liu Nanfeng's waist and got down from him.
Then she touched her belly and said, "I can feel it."
During cultivation, one's sensitivity to their own body was tens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people, and any abnormality could be easily detected.
Although the pregnancy suppression grass had suppressed her magic power, making her like an ordinary person, her physical fitness, spiritual perception, and touch were still present.
"And I also used a pregnancy test," Su Jinxiu said happily.
After speaking, she turned to look at the coffee table beside her, only to find that Su Huamei was already holding the pregnancy test.
She snatched it over and held it out to Liu Nanfeng.
Su Huamei: ...
"Really..." Su Huamei muttered displeasantly.
She felt both happy and a little sour.
Liu Nanfeng believed her now, but he still looked at the pregnancy test. Indeed, there were two lines on it.
An immense joy surged from the bottom of his heart. He pulled Su Jinxiu into his arms and kissed her face repeatedly.
Until Su Jinxiu pushed him away with a look of disgust.
"I knew it, I knew it..."
"Knew what?" Su Huamei asked curiously from the side.
"I knew that dream must have had a meaning. We have a child, a very cute little girl..." Liu Nanfeng said somewhat incoherently.
"Dream? What dream?" Both Su Jinxiu and Su Huamei looked at him curiously.
"I had a dream last night..."
So Liu Nanfeng told them about his dream from last night.
Then he added, "I knew this was a sign. And sure enough, as soon as you got up, you told me this good news. That little chubby girl must be our daughter."
He then giggled foolishly, overjoyed.
"I wanted a son too," Su Jinxiu said, touching her belly and pouting.
"A daughter is good. When she's little, she'll be as cute as the little koi fish, and when she grows up, she'll be as beautiful as you," Liu Nanfeng said happily.
"Little koi fish?" Su Jinxiu suddenly remembered what Liu Nanfeng had said last night.
So she said, "As for activating the little koi fish's genes, you'll have to ask the little koi fish's mother yourself. I'm pregnant now, so it's not convenient for me to see her."
Liu Nanfeng, immersed in joy, didn't think much of it and just nodded.
However, Su Huamei, sitting beside them, widened her eyes, looking as if she had seen a ghost.
"So, after she's served her purpose, you're just going to discard her? You should give her to me! How can you give her to outsiders?"
Regardless of what Su Huamei was imagining, Liu Nanfeng's emotions were surging, and he paced around the room.
"I originally thought I'd have to go home and tell my parents after some time, but I didn't expect you to have it so soon. I don't have anything to do today, so I'll go back today."
"Yes, I'll go back with you," Su Jinxiu said.
"I want to go too," Su Huamei chimed in, unwilling to be left behind alone.
"No, you two don't need to go with me yet. I'll go back alone and explain things to them," Liu Nanfeng said after thinking for a moment.
Su Jinxiu wanted to say more, but Liu Nanfeng waved his hand.
"Listen to me first. I'm worried they won't be able to accept it all at once, so let them have some time to buffer."
Hearing Liu Nanfeng say this, the two of them didn't say anything more.
After washing up and having breakfast, Liu Nanfeng went straight to the garage, got into the car, and prepared to drive back to the countryside.
"Will you be back tonight?" Su Jinxiu asked as she saw him off to the car.
Su Huamei was putting wine and some supplements into the car. These were originally for Liu Nanfeng, and it was too late to buy them now, so she grabbed some.
"Yes, I'll definitely be back," Liu Nanfeng said.
Su Jinxiu was newly pregnant, so he couldn't stay overnight in the countryside and leave her alone.
"You two go back first."
Liu Nanfeng got into the car and drove away from the garage, heading along the riverside road. He instinctively glanced at the place where the little koi fish often surfaced.
Then he was somewhat surprised to see Zhu Yuchan and the little koi fish standing by the shore, talking about something.
So he quickly pulled the car over and got out to walk towards them.
