Chapter 2035 - 2024: Nangong Bing’s Pregnancy Journey
After a while, Nangong Bing came out of the bedroom. She was busy with work earlier and also looked up some information on prenatal care.
You have to understand that for a first-time pregnant mom like her, aside from work, what she cares about most now is the child in her belly.
Even if there’s the slightest thing, she goes online to look for information. Sadly, over the past five months, her belly doesn’t seem to have grown much, instead, it still looks flat like usual, which worries Nangong Bing a lot.
For most pregnant women, at nearly five months, their belly should at least be quite prominent, but for her? Not only isn’t it prominent, but it also looks pretty much the same as before.
Saying she’s pregnant, probably no one believes it.
"You’re back." Nangong Bing walked out from the bedroom gracefully, watching Huahua and Tangtang, those two silly girls, surround him, she couldn’t help but laugh lightly.
"Yeah, I’m back. I came back to check on my unborn little darling, to see if he’s been naughty in your belly." Lin Zifeng smiled warmly.
"Pfft!"
This made Nangong Bing inexplicably laugh, her pretty eyes rolling at him.
"Humph, so you were thinking about your child, huh." Huahua snorted nasally, then trotted to Nangong Bing’s side, hugged her cousin, and said with a chuckle: "Cousin, do you think the beast cares more about you or the child in your belly?"
Oh, come on! That’s a really good question.
Lin Zifeng honestly wanted to give this girl a smack. Both his wife and child are important, how can you divide the care?
"Huahua, stop making fun of your beast uncle. Keep teasing him like this, and I’m afraid he’ll want to find a hole to crawl into." Nangong Bing smiled slightly.
"Hehe, the baby must be really strong and healthy, and should recognize me as the godmother, okay?" Tangtang stepped forward. Although she didn’t have a close familial relation with Nangong Bing,
since Nangong Bing became pregnant, she sincerely felt happy for her.
Alas, this girl even often lay in bed thinking, if only she could have a bouncy little baby with uncle as well.
"Alright, alright. You will be the godmother of the little baby in the future." Really defeated by this girl.
Nangong Bing nodded helplessly.
"Oh dear, if I’m the godmother, shouldn’t I bear the responsibilities of a godmother? By the way, I can take it back to our clan, let the best elder in our clan protect it for a lifetime of safety, hmm, I even want my Mother Empress to give it lots and lots of gifts..."
Tangtang seemed caught up in a frenzied self-imagination, just talking to herself.
Nangong Bing and Lin Zifeng were at a loss for words.
"I wasn’t by your side these days, it must’ve been hard for you." Lin Zifeng initially wanted to hold her, but with Huahua and Tangtang around, he had to give up.
"There’s no need to speak of hardship. As long as we are happy and safe together, I’m already very satisfied. Besides, when our baby arrives, I’m looking forward to peace the most."
Honestly, Lin Zifeng often being away worried Nangong Bing deeply. Many things had happened in the Holy Hall during this time.
She fears, deeply fears, if one day Lin Zifeng offends too many people outside, she truly wouldn’t know what to do by then.
In her mind, she believes the most beautiful thing is peace, for the family to be together, safe and sound. No other satisfaction can compare.
Perhaps she had reached an age where she yearned to live a more peaceful life.
"Don’t worry, peaceful days will come." Lin Zifeng smiled, prepared to pull out a cigarette for a puff, but under Nangong Bing’s meaningful gaze, he put it down.
"Hehe, don’t smoke, just some chewing gum is fine, right?" Lin Zifeng chuckled foolishly, knowing his pregnant wife shouldn’t inhale cigarette smoke.
So he switched to chewing gum.
"By the way, did you hear about the Demon God Sect and those other sects and Dataoism coming to seek reconciliation with our Holy Hall?"
Then, Nangong Bing seemed to recall something.
During this time when Lin Zifeng wasn’t around, most of the matters were handled by her, Beiming Yu, and Zhang Mengjie.
"I know. But it doesn’t matter." Lin Zifeng nodded, saying, "This is a good thing for our Holy Hall."
"A good thing? Why do I feel something is off. They were fighting fiercely before, and now they’re suddenly making peace, don’t you think there’s something fishy here?"
"Fishy? What’s fishy?" Lin Zifeng smiled, saying, "In the current great trend, even if there’s any fishiness, our Holy Hall must agree to the reconciliation."
"Why? No choice at all?" Nangong Bing frowned, feeling that what Lin Zifeng said sounded a bit alarmist.
"Think about it, the Western forces have already infiltrated, and many domestic forces have been defeated by our Holy Hall. At this time, if everyone doesn’t fight a common enemy, then it’ll truly be a case of lips gone and teeth cold.
If the Holy Hall is annihilated, it’s estimated that the Demon God Sect and Taishang Sect are not far from annihilation either. Conversely, if they’re all wiped out, then what role could our Holy Hall possibly play?
Currently, our Holy Hall is at its zenith in Huaxia, to put it bluntly, among all clear forces in Huaxia, our Holy Hall might be the strongest.
Once an Eastern Western war starts, the logic of capturing the leader before the band is an understanding you have, the shot hits the bird that pokes its head out. We’ll be done for."
With Lin Zifeng’s explanation, Nangong Bing suddenly realized.
She knew the Holy Hall was too conspicuous now. Even if any force strikes Huaxia, the first one to face the knife would probably be the Holy Hall. That’s also the reason why Lin Zifeng considered reconciliation as well.
"By the way. Do you know about the events of the Supreme Emperor in the West?"
"I know."
"There’s been no word from the Supreme Emperor in the West these days, also, the Holy Daughter of Taishang Sect, Taihuang Demon, seems to be hiding on our Holy Hall’s side, this woman’s heart is ruthless, having cut ten years of emotions, greatly increasing her cultivation, I’m afraid she’ll stab us in the back when the time comes."
"Humph, even if this woman dies, it wouldn’t be a pity, sooner or later, we’ll capture her alive and kill her." Lin Zifeng’s eyes flashed sharply.
The struggle with Taihuang Demon has been going on for a long time. This demoness manages to escape at critical moments every time, which infuriates Lin Zifeng greatly.
As for the Supreme Emperor in the West, it’s not just an event Lin Zifeng is concerned about, but something all cultivators in the East are looking forward to.
The Supreme Emperor becoming a Saint achieved the first king of the East, while the Western Pope was the king of the West, these two heavenly-defying level figures clashing would be earth-shaking!
(A strong recommendation for Huahua’s new book: Super Expert of Female Chairman. It’s very good.
