**Chapter 278: Xiaoqi is Going to Have a Younger Brother?**

Bibi Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief this time.

"Husband, you're back. You're the only one who can scare our son. Our son is really too naughty. He flies around all day long, and no one knows why he was born with the ability to fly."

"Ping An and his sister Meng Yan are both born with the ability to fly. This is a good thing; it shows that they are both gifted."

Zhao Ling approached Bibi Dong, and she stood up from her seat, offering the Pope's throne to him.

Zhao Ling did not hesitate and sat down directly on the throne, pulling Bibi Dong into his arms.

Bibi Dong sat sideways on Zhao Ling's thighs and rested her head on his shoulder. She then sniffed with her delicate nose and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hubby, did you just come from Sister Xi'er's place?"

"Hm... how did you smell it?" Zhao Ling asked in surprise. "Is Dong'er's sense of smell so sensitive?"

"It would be strange if you couldn't smell it. Every time you come here from Sister Xi'er, you carry her scent. If you come from Tiandou City, the smell would be too mixed."

Bibi Dong nodded seriously and responded without thinking.

"Uh…" Zhao Ling's mouth twitched. He picked Bibi Dong up and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

He realized he hadn't thought this through enough. Before coming to Spirit City, he should have found a place to shower and change clothes so Dong'er wouldn't smell any strange scents.

Zhao Ling could have taken Bibi Dong to the hot spring in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in the Sunset Forest for a bath, but he hadn't done that.

To be precise, it had been seven or eight years since he had gone to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to look for medicinal herbs.

After seeing Dugu Bo use his internal energy to resist toxins in the hot spring, Zhao Ling had never used it again.

Dugu Bo had also seen Zhao Ling at that time and immediately showed his respect. After all, the Demon-Suppressing Douluo had a fierce reputation, and his strength was unfathomable.

Zhao Ling didn't say much; he simply nodded slightly and made his way to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Upon checking inside, Zhao Ling confirmed that the herbs showed no signs of tampering. He knew that the stone tablet he had erected outside the valley had taken effect.

Even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo dared not enter the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, recognizing it as Zhao Ling's private medicine garden. This made Zhao Ling very satisfied.

Later, when Zhao Ling met Dugu Bo again, he offered to help detoxify Dugu Bo and his descendants.

For Zhao Ling today, helping Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan detoxify was easy, even without using the methods in the "Xuantian Baolu."

This made Dugu Bo ecstatic. After all, what kind of being was the Demon-Suppressing Douluo? He was known as the number one person under the gods.

Though the poison of his Green Scaled Snake King was powerful, it might be nothing to the Demon-Suppressing Douluo.

Dugu Bo, eager to save his granddaughter's life, asked Zhao Ling to detoxify Dugu Yan.

Zhao Ling did not hesitate. He spent two days resolving the crisis of the green-scaled snake venom for Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, and a poison pill was condensed in the dantian of both grandfather and granddaughter.

This way, both could easily control the venom without endangering themselves or their loved ones.

Both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan regarded Zhao Ling as their savior.

In fact, the advanced soul master academy Dugu Yan had chosen to attend was no longer the Tiandou Royal Academy, as in the original novel, but the Lan Ba Academy. Uh, this might have been going a bit too far.

Zhao Ling took Bibi Dong straight to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with water, he released flames to heat it.

The ability to release flames was an additional power he had gained after advancing to a mysterious realm. It wasn't just the ability to tear space and release flames; it also included controlling the growth of trees, summoning floods, creating typhoons, and more. In short, Zhao Ling was increasingly unsure of his own limits.

For him, making these things was as easy as eating and drinking.

It's no exaggeration to say that he could do all of this with just a few gestures.

Bibi Dong was no longer surprised by all this. No one knew what level her husband had reached. Anyway, the stronger her husband was, the better.

When the water in the bathtub reached a comfortable temperature, Zhao Ling stepped into the tub with the beauty in his arms...

Two days later, when Zhao Ling returned to the Tiandou Imperial City Mansion, it was already evening.

When Xiao Wu saw him, she curled her lips in dissatisfaction. Her husband had just come back, but he had run off to Sea God Island and the Spirit Hall without telling his sisters.

As a result, after discovering she was pregnant, she couldn't find anyone to tell her husband.

However, no matter how dissatisfied she was, the moment Zhao Ling appeared in the courtyard, she threw herself into his arms.

"Hubby, you're finally back. Xiao Wu has something good to tell you…"

Zhao Ling gently held her in his arms, sat on the stone bench, and let her lean on his shoulder, asking lovingly, "What's wrong, Xiao Wu? What good thing happened?"

Xiao Wu smiled, her eyes curving, as she pointed at her belly as if showing it off.

"Hubby, I'm finally pregnant. Shouldn't you reward me?"

After Tang Wutong heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She ran to Xiao Wu, happily raised her hand, and gently stroked her belly.

"Mom, does this mean Xiaoqi is going to have a younger brother?"

"Well… but I don't know whether I should call him brother or what else I should call him," Xiao Wu chuckled, covering her mouth.

Xiao Wu suddenly felt very confused thinking about how both she and her daughter were her husband's bedmates and both were pregnant. But this didn't seem like such a big deal. When she thought about the original connections between Aunt Xi'er, Aunt Yiner, herself, her mother, Wutong, and others, she felt a little dizzy.

Xiao Wu hadn't thought it was a big deal before, but now… she felt it was more appropriate to use her husband's frequent saying: "Your social circle is really messy."

"Really, Xiao Wu, you're pregnant too?"

Zhao Ling couldn't help but show joy on his face, though it seemed like he had too many pregnant women to keep track of.

In addition to Yin'er, Rou'er, and Long'er, who had been pregnant for nearly ten years, Wutong and Xiao Wu were now added to the mix.

Currently, only Qiu'er and Nannan had reached the level of Titled Douluo but were not pregnant.

Xuan'er and Hong'er should reach Titled Douluo in a few years, but Yue'er was only at level 82, so she was still a long way from that realm.

Qiu'er and Nannan looked at Xiao Wu and Wutong, mother and daughter, with envy and jealousy, wondering why they hadn't gotten pregnant yet.

If they did get pregnant, their husbands would be more restrained around them, but now that they hadn't, they were beginning to doubt their lives.
