"boss!"
Xiaoya rushed out of the bathroom, came to Mu You, and pointed to the bathroom in a panic: "Sister Xue, Sister Xue..."
"What's wrong with her?" Mu You originally thought it was nothing serious, but when he saw how busy Xiaoya was, he felt worried and rushed into the bathroom.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lin Xue just standing in front of the mirror, safe and sound. Seeing him come in, she smiled at him. There was a bit of shyness in the smile, but more of it was happiness.
“Xiaoxue, what happened?” Mu You stepped forward and asked.
Lin Xue didn't answer, just took his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.
Mu You didn't realize what was going on for a while, thinking it was Lin Xue having menstrual cramps or something.
Until Xiaoya’s prompt came from behind: “Boss, Sister Xue is pregnant…”
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, and it was only then that he realized that Lin Xue's belly was abnormally swollen.
But, pregnant?
Mu You was confused and looked at Lin Xue blankly.
Lin Xue was still smiling, but then she read what he was thinking, looked at him angrily, punched his chest with her right fist, and said coyly: "I hate it, who do you think it belongs to?"
"But, it wasn't just yesterday that we..." Mu You scratched his head, he was really at a loss.
It is true that the two of them did not take any protection last night, but they got pregnant the next day. Is this scientific?
“I don’t know, anyway, it’s yours, don’t let it go.”
“Could it be that... I made a mistake? In fact, I’m not pregnant...”
The reason Mu You thought it was unlikely was because he and Linglong both checked Lin Xue's body yesterday, both physically and spiritually, but no abnormalities were found at that time.
As a result, half a day had passed, and a child appeared directly. This really doesn’t make sense...
…”
Lin Xue was very convinced at first, because she had just seen two souls in her body. Apart from herself, the other one was a very young, almost undetectable soul.
Coupled with her own physical condition, she naturally thought she was pregnant.
However, when Mu You asked this question, Lin Xue became a little unconfident. The little soul in her body might just be an illusion caused by her soul accidentally being separated for some reason. As the divine authority in charge of the soul, she Know it’s not impossible…
Lin Xue was a little disappointed. Could it be that it was just a mistake and all her happiness was in vain?
There was silence in the bathroom, and the two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, a little embarrassed.
At this time, Vivian flew in from outside and landed on Mu You's shoulder, looking at Lin Xue's belly.
"teacher…"
“Show me your hand.” Vivian said.
Lin Xue obediently stretched out her hand and spread her palm.
Vivian observed the palm of her hand. Although it didn't move, Mu You knew that she was doing divination.
After a brief divination, Vivian did not tell the result, but flew out of the bathroom directly: "You two, follow me."
The two looked at each other and followed.
The two of them followed Vivian into the backpack space where the animals lived, and went directly to the edge of the space.
“Come out, it seems you were right.” Vivian said to the fog-shrouded barrier in front of her.
“Let me tell you, it was indeed the good thing you two did!” A familiar voice sounded. The Fairy Queen of the City of Time maintained her illusory form, flew in from outside the wall, and appeared in front of the three of them.
Cola, who was chasing butterflies in the grass not far away, saw the little goblin suddenly appearing. His eyes lit up, and he crouched quickly from behind in a hunting posture. A cat jumped up and rushed towards the goblin queen in mid-air.
Unfortunately, she was not caught. The cat's claws penetrated directly through the Fairy Queen's body, as if she had no entity at all and was just a phantom.
Cola landed on the ground, staring blankly at his cat's paw. He jumped up again in disbelief and grabbed the Fairy Queen, but he still missed.
Coke suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting, and jumped up to hunt again and again.
The Fairy Queen's eyes twitched. She originally wanted to remain elegant, but after her illusory body was swatted away several times in a row, she yelled: "I'm so annoyed, who is this bad cat!"
The Fairy Queen turned her head and glared at Coke.
Coke, who had just jumped up, was suddenly frozen in mid-air, as if he had suddenly pressed the pause button.
But different from the stop world, at this time, only Coca-Cola's time in the entire world has been stopped, and other surrounding creatures can still move normally.
Everyone ignored Coca-Cola. Mu You looked at the Fairy Queen strangely: "What happened?"
"After you left yesterday, I sent someone to urgently check the status of the Heart of Time, and found that it was not correct." The Fairy Queen frowned.
“What’s not right?” Mu You asked.
“The quality of the loss does not match.”
The Fairy Queen said: "Every time the time prison is opened and someone acquires the time observer trait inside, the heart of time will lose a certain amount of quality."
“We urgently compared the mass of the Heart of Time before it with the mass after you left, and found that after deducting the natural loss in the past 35 days, there is still a gap of 3.6 grams.”
“According to past experience, the mass lost by the Heart of Time when each Time Observer is formed should be between 1.1 and 1.3 grams. And 3.6 grams is obviously the mass of three people.”
“What is it like?” Mu You was still a little confused.
“The Heart of Time was already on the verge of collapse, and its quality was so insignificantly lost. That’s why it became so shaky when you left. It took me a lot of effort to maintain it.”
The Fairy Queen complained, and then spread her hands: "This kind of 'energy compensation' situation has actually happened before. A long time ago, a man and a woman entered the time cage at the same time. When they finally left, the woman had just come out. She was found pregnant and gave birth to offspring within a few months." "But they didn't stay in the cage of time for as long as you did. They just came out immediately after five hundred years, and their bodies The children did not have time to inherit the time observer characteristics, so there was no additional loss of quality that time. This is the first time for you to be in this situation."
The Fairy Queen touched her chin as she spoke and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that there will be another restriction in the future. People of the opposite **** of the same race cannot be allowed to enter the time cage at the same time. It is easy to kill people in it..."
"Uh, can you make it more clear? What does the lost mass have to do with us? What does 'energy compensation' mean?" Mu You asked eagerly.
He had actually vaguely guessed something after listening, but he was still a little unsure.
The Fairy Queen gave him a strange look: "What a slow man. In other words, you are going to be a father!"
"I really…"
Mu You was stunned. An indescribable feeling surged into his heart.
Just now, when Lin Xue said that she was pregnant, he couldn't believe it. Now when the Fairy Queen explained the principle and told the truth with such certainty, he suddenly felt real.
Mu You looked at Lin Xue, swallowed, and reached out to touch her belly again. When he touched it, he suddenly felt at a loss. When he thought that there was a little life belonging to them inside, which was slowly growing, he suddenly changed. You have to be careful, as if you are holding some kind of treasure, for fear of being broken.
Lin Xue smiled and looked at him nervously stroking her belly, feeling a sense of happiness rising in her heart.
To Mu You, the child may have arrived unexpectedly, but to her, it was the last piece of the puzzle that allowed the two of them to share weal and woe for countless years, spanning time and space, and making their love perfect.
The two of them were immersed in joy, and not far behind, the three Xiaoyas who came over to eavesdrop out of curiosity also had their mouths wide open.
“This is really…”
Linglong covered her mouth and smiled. Yesterday, she really planned to encourage the main body to cook the raw rice into cooked rice...but you cooked the rice too quickly, right?
Mianmian tilted her head and pondered for half a minute before reacting. She slapped her hands: "Oh, am I going to be an aunt? Or a aunt? An aunt?"
The little girl tried hard to figure out his relationship with Mu You. Even though he and Mu You always call each other by their first names, they look more like brother and sister, but in fact, she is nominally Mu You's adopted daughter...
After taking a random inventory, the little girl finally nodded and concluded: "Well, at least I am a sister!"
Mu You was excited for the little life in his belly. Then he remembered something, looked at the Fairy Queen, and said awkwardly: "Is it okay with the Heart of Time?"
The Heart of Time originally gave them two slots, but unexpectedly they created another villain inside and stole an additional reward.
Their children can possess the characteristics of time observers as soon as they are born, which is a big advantage for them, but for the heart of time, this additional loss is not a good thing, especially when the heart of time has already arrived. On the verge of collapse.
"There is indeed some trouble...but we worked overtime and after a busy day, we have finally stabilized the situation temporarily, otherwise I wouldn't have time to come to you."
The Fairy Queen spread her hands: "You don't need to worry about these. I'm here to explain the issue of 'energy compensation' to you."
The Fairy Queen looked at the two of them: "Your child was actually born within the first 500 years after you entered the Heart of Time. It is just because your body will not change in the time cage, so it cannot take shape. , until now that you have left the prison and returned to the real world, your child who should have been born long ago has finally taken shape."
“However, precisely because it has been held in the cage of time for too long, after suddenly taking on a body, the embryo will grow very fast in the early stages, so the ordinary pregnancy period is not applicable to you.
According to the experience of the previous couple, your child will be born within three months, and after birth, the baby will continue to grow at an inertial pace for a period of time, until it grows to the size of about 1 year old, and then slowly Eliminate this inertia. "
“During this period, due to the accelerated growth of the embryo and baby, they need to consume far more energy than normal children need for growth. This is called energy compensation.”
The Fairy Queen said and looked at Mu You: "So next, she will eat a lot. You will provide her with whatever food she wants to eat. This is not her need, but the need of the child in her belly. If outside If the energy supply is insufficient, the child will instinctively absorb energy from the mother's body, and the manifestation is that she will lose weight quickly."
Mu You was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect there was such a risk. Asking Lin Xue to use his body to compensate for energy would definitely not work. Next, he must prepare sufficient energy.
“Thank you.”
Mu You thanked the Fairy Queen sincerely. If someone hadn't made a special trip to remind them, the two new parents would have messed up because they were inexperienced.
“Okay, I’ll feel relieved now that I understand what’s going on.”
The Fairy Queen waved her hands and prepared to say goodbye.
Anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion, and the lost quality cannot be recovered even if she wants to. She is not here to raise an issue to accuse her. She only needs to confirm that the quality of the Heart of Time was not lost for no reason.
The Fairy Queen floated in and quietly left without taking a single cloud with her.
The moment the Fairy Queen disappeared, Coke, who was standing in the air, finally recovered.
The Coke fell to the ground, and I subconsciously wanted to jump again. As a result, I looked at the sudden changes in the surroundings with a confused look on my face, not knowing what was happening.
In the next few days, the family suddenly became busy.
Because of Lin Xue's pregnancy, the whole family began to circle around the expectant mother.
In addition to constantly paying attention to the world situation, Mu You's first priority has been to help Lin Xue prepare for production.
Because of energy compensation, he needs to prepare enough energy food for Lin Xue in advance.
It would be easier to say if the energy required for compensation is only divine crystals. Although divine crystals are precious, they are not rare and can be found everywhere in the world of high heaven.
There is no need to even look elsewhere. His existing savings alone should be enough for his children to spend.
However, just eating crystals is not enough. Lin Xue can only eat a certain amount of crystals every day. If she exceeds the limit, Lin Xue will vomit, which means that the child is tired of eating and needs to eat something else.
Mu You usually had to accompany Lin Xue, and couldn't be separated, so he had to play the game he hadn't played for a long time, fight monsters in the high-sky world to get materials, looking for high-star beasts and medicinal materials rich in divine energy. brush.
In addition, he also had to serve as a chef and learn how to cook these ingredients and how to make them delicious. Lin Xuesheng could not be allowed to eat these flesh and blood herbs.
In the end, he couldn't stop improving himself. He had to find time to gain experience and faith to improve his star level. He had to hold multiple positions at the same time, and he was so busy at the same time.
Of course, despite being busy, Mu You actually enjoys it. After all, he is collecting materials for his wife and children, and he is willing to be busy.
Lin Xue's appetite has indeed increased significantly in the past few days. Both of them have been mentally prepared for this, but the increased portion still caught them both off guard.
Mu You couldn't help but wonder, even if it was energy compensation, the amount of compensation would be too terrifying, right? With their two family backgrounds, they both felt like they were almost unable to support themselves. (End of chapter)
