Forced Into Marriage

After being threatened by Yun Cheng, the golden eagle took him and Chenchen around the Space. It was Yun Che and Heiyu who found them in the end, and it was almost three hours later when they went out together. Everyone had already gathered in the living room after dinner, chatting while waiting for them. Heiyu, who could only appear like a little puppy for the time being, was as usual lying on Yun Che's shoulder.

"Hello guys, it's been a while, I'm back!"

"Uh…"

With his front paw raised, Heiyu rendered all those present speechless the moment he appeared. Everyone was startled and wished they could kick him back into the Space.

"Looks like the problem has been solved?"

Ignoring Heiyu, Xing Feng stretched out his hand to Yun Che, but the latter was at a loss for words when he thought of the Life Divine Body again. After sitting down next to Xing Feng, Yun Che took out a cigarette and lit it with a flick of his finger. Leng Yehan and the rest used their fire for fighting, but his fire could only light a cigarette. It was depressing to even think about it.

Seeing this, Xing Feng and everyone else pricked up their ears. They had a gut feeling that it had to be something really serious for Yun Che to be so unhappy.

"Heiyu said…"

After a long while, Yun Che leaned back on the sofa and puffed out a cloud of smoke before slowly repeating what Heiyu had said, including the Life Divine Body. There were no outsiders around anyway, and it would be impossible to hide from them if he really got pregnant. Furthermore, if any of them wanted to have children in the future, he couldn't be bothered to explain this to them again. Like what Heiyu said, he could just control it with a flash of thought.

"That's it, so decide for yourselves whether you want to go into cultivation and whether you want to have children. Just let me know after you've decided."

Yun Che simply said everything out at one go, and everyone who heard what he said was too stunned to react. As for cultivation, they had already guessed something when they knew that Yun Che could control the power of elements. There were already tons of TV series and novels on this before the doomsday, but even men could now give birth? Had their imagination been limited by their ignorance, or was the owner of the space Yun Che simply too awesome?

"So Che, could you already be pregnant?"

The first person to react wasn't Xing Feng or Gu Mingxuan, but Yun Yao. Seeing her staring at his belly excitedly, Yun Che suddenly felt very uneasy, "Sis, what are you talking about? How could it be that easy? Have you forgotten that it's not easy for women to get pregnant after doomsday? How could I get pregnant so easily? I can't be that unlucky!"

He couldn't imagine a man with a big belly, how terrifying was that! He knew she must have been led astray by Lei Dashan's wife to keep thinking about getting him to have a baby. He was a man!

"No, you're different, Master. The Life Divine Body is unrestrained and can easily bear offspring. Who knows you might really be pregnant."

Before Yun Yao could react, Heiyu, who was lying on his shoulder, retorted. Yun Che's mouth twitched as he grabbed Heiyu's legs and threw him off his shoulder, "Get out of my sight! Scram!"

Damn, if he hadn't made him drink the sacred water without his approval, would he have gotten himself into this situation?

"Master, you're abusing me again. How many times must I tell you this? Even if I didn't make you drink the sacred water, you will still create a Life Divine Body with your own strength. This was already destined to happen when you became the owner of the Space. All you do is bully me!"

Heiyu poured out his grievances as he jumped back and onto Yun Yao's shoulder, thinking that it was the safest place to be.

"One more word from you and I'm gonna hack you!"

"Swoosh…"

Right after Yun Che threatened Heiyu, a long black blade hovered in the air, swooshing. Heiyu jumped and snuggled into Yun Yao's arms, "Sis, save me, Master is inhuman, boohoo… "

"Who…damn…"

But before he could finish complaining, he got picked up by the legs and flung out again. His body created a perfect parabola in mid-air before landing in the yard. The culprit Gu Mingxuan dusted off his hands, "He's too noisy."

Geez, just say you couldn't stand him taking liberties with Yun Yao!

The guys from Chaoyang and Peak roasted him, but quickly shifted their attention back. Everyone stared at Yun Che's belly with burning eyes, and Xing Feng even reached out to touch it, "Could you really be pregnant?"

Ever since he had decided to be with Yun Che, he had not thought about having offspring. He had even privately instructed Gu Mingxuan and the rest that Chenchen would inherit Chaoyang if anything were to happen to him. However, now that he suddenly got to know that Yun Che could give birth, he had mixed feelings about it and didn't know whether to look forward to it or not.

"Pah!"

"Pregnant my foot, how could that be?"

Yun Che slapped his hand away and glared at him. He would never admit it so long as his belly didn't grow bigger, "Remember to wear a condom from today."

In order to rule out the possibility of getting pregnant, Yun Che grabbed his collar and threatened him. They had a thousand and one things to do, so how could he have time to slowly give birth to a child? They would discuss another day if they wanted to have children in the future, but definitely not now.

"Haha…you call the shots, you have the final say."

Xing Feng didn't object, but stretched out his hand again while wondering if he should try to stop Yun Che from going out during this period. He should at least not go on quests until it had been confirmed that he wasn't pregnant, or their son would suffer.

Fortunately, Yun Che didn't know how to read minds, or he would definitely jump up and fight it out with Xing Feng. It seemed to him that Chief Xing was having an easy time since he wasn't the one who would get pregnant and give birth!

"Che, I think you'd better stop going out on quests for now. Stay home and observe for a while, and also bring out more fish. You gotta eat more fish when pregnant so that your child will be smart. You'd better quit smoking, it might harm my little nephew!"

"Sis, you don't look like you're just observing, you're already treating me like a pregnant man!"

Yun Che looked at his sister helplessly. Why didn't she think that it was strange for a man to get pregnant and give birth? Did she have to be so excited about it?

"Che, just listen to Yao, what if you're really pregnant? You would know in a month at most."

Zhan Yafei quickly chimed in. She was also looking forward to Che's child, and she was sure it would be a boy as adorable as Chenchen, but hopefully without the baby fat.

"That's right, Che, you're inexperienced in this area. The first three months are the most crucial. Miscarriage can even happen as a result of slightly more vigorous activities, not to mention going for battles. You gotta listen to me this time."

After finally collecting herself, Wang Suhua quickly sat next to him and almost took his hand while advising him earnestly. Even the usually quiet Lu's mom chimed in, "You have to take care of yourself during your first pregnancy, or you might suffer recurrent miscarriages in the future. Yao is right, you should quit smoking, it's bad for the baby."

"Look, we're doing this for your own good."

Yun Yao concluded. After the women took turns to tell him the dos and don'ts, Yun Che didn't know how to react and even wondered if he was really pregnant. Ye Xingchen and the rest quietly turned around and chuckled. They thought it was really amusing to see Che in this situation. The women in the family were making a big hooha when nothing had yet to be confirmed. If Che's pregnancy was really confirmed, wouldn't his reaction be even more hilarious? Although it was very mean of them to do think this way, they were already looking forward to it.

"Can you please spare me? Please stop doing things for my own good."

After a long while, Yun Che finally managed to speak, his face muscles twitching happily upon closer look. Xing Feng gently put his arm around him, "Why don't we hold a wedding first?"

"Wedding my foot, I…"

"Sounds like a good idea. We should let everyone in the base know about it."

"Lemme check which is an auspicious day. Are you ladies able to make two more joyous-looking wedding costumes? Otherwise we'll just wear a suit."

"How could you wear a normal on such an important day? You have to wear a traditional Chinese costume, a red one. Mingxuan, go check tomorrow if there's anyone who can make the costumes. Price is not an issue. A wedding happens only once in a lifetime, so we gotta make it joyous and lively."

"Excuse me, I'm the party involved. Can you show me some respect and not treat me like I'm invisible?"

"Keep quiet, Che. We're discussing serious matters."

Xing Feng's suggestion was strongly supported by the elders and Yun Yao, and Yun Che's voice was completely drowned out. Even though he tried to regain control, he was brushed off by Wang Suhua. The elders, together with Yun Yao and Zhan Yafei, got so excited that they gathered together and started planning, ignoring the guys from Chaoyang and Peak.

"Senior, I wanna get married too!"

Yun Che was completely defeated, but Jiang Shang grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand and stared at him with gleaming eyes, occasionally taking a glance at Yun Yao and the gang who had gathered together to discuss the wedding. He looked like he wanted very much to hold a wedding together with Xing Feng and Yun Che. Ye Xingchen's mouth twitch, "Erm, Jiang, we are not in a hurry and can take things slow, can we talk about it another day?"

"No, I don't want to take things slow, I like you, Senior. I can't wait to marry you."

But Jiang Shang became persistent again and didn't want to back down. Chu Haoling teased loudly, adding fuel to the fire, "Xingchen, why don't you just do what Jiang Shang said? Can't you see he's on the verge of tears?"

Lu Haixuan gave Chu Haoling a meaningful look but decided not to say anything. Unlike Xingchen, Chu would probably bash him up if he dared to say he wanted to settle down with him.

"Whether you two get married or not makes no difference anyway. Why don't you just hold your wedding together with Che and Chief Xing, the more the merrier."

Zhou Zeyu finally had the chance to take revenge after being forced to see them act lovey-dovey all the time. Meng Gang also added, "That's right, there's lesser work to be done if you guys hold your wedding together. I would definitely join you guys if I have a wife."

"We really should relax for a while after all the recent happenings."

Gu Mingxuan nodded in agreement as he looked at Yun Yao who was speaking enthusiastically. He wanted to get married soon, but Yun Yao had yet to say yes, although she no longer avoided him.

"It's easy for you guys to say. Fine, we can get married together. Chu Haoling, if you dare to marry Haixuan, I won't dither anymore. Do you dare to?"

All the yapping and Jiang Shang looking at him eagerly made Ye Xingchen throw caution to the wind. What was the big deal about getting married? If Chu Haoling dared to, why wouldn't he? He had already chosen Jiang Shang to be his life partner, what difference was there between getting married now and later?
