Chapter 62 Having a Child?

Night fell.

The moon climbed to the tips of the trees.

After a wild shopping spree, Mu An and the others returned home laden with bags.

Besides buying clothes and daily necessities for Renée, Mu An had also purchased a mountain of expensive ingredients he usually couldn't bear to buy.

Since Bai Ningfu was footing the bill, he only had to worry about spending the money and didn't have to consider what to do if he ran short of funds.

So this is what it feels like to be rich?

Mu An thought it was fantastic.

Renée hummed an unknown tune while continuously trying on her new clothes in the room.

From time to time, she would strike a vain pose in front of the full-length mirror.

But soon, she was attracted to the alchemy item known as a 'mobile phone'.

The different icons on it represented various functions, each of which opened her eyes.

It gave her the distinct feeling of a country bumpkin entering the city; the novelty was endless.

She had truly broadened her horizons!

Meanwhile, Nina stayed obediently by Mu An's side, watching him cook and occasionally helping to wash or chop vegetables.

She might not be good at cooking.

Hmm, she was still in the 'learning by observation' phase.

Hearing her boss say that some people on the mobile phone posted cooking tutorial videos, Nina secretly made up her mind to study them carefully when she had time.

"It's a good thing Bai Ningfu didn't ask about your appearance at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to explain it."

"Although many young people here like to play Cosplay—uh, that is, wearing special outfits and dressing up as characters from anime or games—cat-girls and elves are common roles."

"But just out of the shower + wearing only a bath towel + 'strange decorations'—no matter how you look at it, people would misunderstand and think we were doing something inappropriate for children!"

"If Bai Ningyu comes over later, remember to wear the [Deception Hat] and hide your ears and tails a bit. Don't let the cat out of the bag, though I feel like hiding them might be the same as not hiding them at all..."

Mu An instructed while cooking.

"Got it, Boss."

Nina stuck out her tongue.

Actually, she thought the same as her boss.

That 'Big Sister' Bai Ningyu he mentioned might have already seen through her true identity.

Bzzzz—

The mobile phone vibrated.

Nina quickly helped retrieve the phone that was set aside.

After Mu An unlocked it with his face, he glanced at the screen and found it was a message from Bai Ningfu.

At the same time.

Knock, knock, knock—

A knocking sound echoed.

"Speak of the devil!"

Mu An chuckled.

"Who?"

Nina tilted her head, a bit confused.

Logically speaking, shouldn't it be Big Sister Bai Ningyu?

How did it become Cao Cao?

Who is Cao Cao?

Is that a nickname for Big Sister Bai Ningyu?

"Read more books in the future, and you'll understand what it means."

Mu An wiped his hands and walked over to open the door himself.

Outside the door.

Bai Ningyu's pretty face was expressionless, like an emotionless machine.

She was still wearing a snow-white dress, though the style was different from the one she wore when they last met.

Her dark hair was slightly damp, smooth and glossy, as if she had just taken a shower.

Tucked into it was a familiar pink rabbit hairclip, making her look cute and innocent.

After the door opened.

Mu An was immediately captivated by the girl's exquisite appearance, and his gaze subconsciously locked onto the hairclip on her head.

Looking closely now, it really looked exactly like the one he had given her when they were children.

Or rather.

It was the one he had personally given her!

There couldn't be any mistake!

"Big sister said, I am coming over to eat... is that okay?"

The girl tilted her head slightly.

The last sentence was clearly asking for Mu An's opinion.

"Of course!"

Mu An quickly stepped aside to make room for her to enter.

Seeing the man's gaze lingering on her, Bai Ningyu asked in confusion.

"What is it?"

"Nothing, just wanted to confirm one thing again. Are you really 'Zhong Yu'er' who went to kindergarten with me when we were little?"

Mu An touched the tip of his nose, feeling embarrassed.

Bai Ningyu nodded slightly.

"Yes. Are we... going to have a baby now?"

Mu An: !

Mu An was a bit dumbfounded.

He found the girl's train of thought a bit hard to grasp.

How did the topic jump to having a baby so suddenly?

"Let's... let's not for now, okay?"

"Uh, how about we come inside first? The food is almost ready!"

Facing this Heaven-Defying straight ball, Mu An didn't know how to respond, so he could only welcome Bai Ningyu inside.

The moment she stepped through the door, she keenly sensed something 'unusual'.

The concentration of spiritual energy inside the room far exceeded that of the outside, being extremely dense.

It was hard to imagine how quickly an ordinary person would improve if they were to Cultivate here.

But Bai Ningyu was not an ordinary person; increasing her Rank did not require that much spiritual energy.

Regarding this, the girl didn't ask much.

She simply said, out of politeness.

"Sorry for the intrusion."

Nearby, Renée, who had put on the [Deception Hat], poked her head out from her room.

She wanted to see what the 'main wife' Nina spoke of looked like!

And what kind of strength she had!

The moment she saw Bai Ningyu, Renée admitted she was truly stunned.

Hiss—

This beauty... she was truly top-tier!

And that cold, abstinent feeling...

She was probably the object of desire for many men!

It was like climbing a peak that no one had ever reached before.

The steeper and more difficult it was, the more it stirred the desire in one's heart to completely conquer it!

But... so what?

Her own looks were also very impressive!

Who wouldn't like a fragrant, soft, tsundere elf?

Taking a step back, she was a girl who had had 'intimate contact' with Mu An.

Just that alone put her ten thousand steps ahead of Nina and the girl in front of her!

Unfortunately, Renée had just been playing on her phone and hadn't heard the Heaven-Defying conversation between Mu An and Bai Ningyu.

Otherwise, it might have fried this pure-hearted elf's little brain!

After all.

In her conservative view,

such a grand and sacred thing as having a baby must only be done on the wedding night after the marriage ceremony.

[Hmph! Let me see what kind of strength you have!]

Renée secretly used the Appraisal magic, wanting to see the other party's strength.

But after seeing the other party's Rank, she immediately widened her eyes in disbelief.

[This Rank is...?!]

Wasn't this world supposed to have thin magic?

Why would such a terrifying existence be born here?

She had to know that she herself had worked hard (slacked off) to Cultivate for nearly a hundred years just to reach a pitiful Rank 37.

Before meeting Mu An and Renée, she was still feeling proud of being a 'Prodigy'.

Although, however... Renée understood the logic.

But now she was told.

That an ordinary human, who normally wouldn't live past a hundred years, in such a difficult environment...

...had raised her Rank to 99 at the age of about twenty!

This could no longer be described as a Genius!

Otherwise, it would be an insult to her!

In comparison, Renée felt she was an out-and-out 'trash'!

The blow was not small!

At this moment, her state of mind was as follows...

[Eh? You're kidding, right?]

[Although I can't compare to that stinky man and Nina, compared to the humans of this world.]

[Shouldn't I... be the Prodigy?]

[Why? Why!]
