The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 825 - 789: Pregnancy Matters

Situ Xin knew that Xiao Muli already had her Spiritual Energy within him and that they had been intimate. Even if he previously had no Spiritual Root, by now, it must have been improved to the best state imaginable. Therefore, Situ Xin and Baibai didn’t bother having him test for a Spiritual Root. Instead, they simply took a Cultivation Technique from Baibai and handed it over to Xiao Muli, letting him figure it out on his own.

And boy, Xiao Muli’s Cultivation speed was indeed impressive. After Situ Xin had explained the matters of Cultivation to him, she let him take the Cultivation Technique and try to comprehend and cultivate it within the spatial realm. To her surprise, when Situ Xin woke up from a nap, she saw that Xiao Muli was completely transformed, having reached the Qi Cultivation Second Layer in a blink of an eye and was on the verge of breaking through to the next level.

Xiao Muli’s rapid Cultivation pace earned admiration from both Situ Xin and Baibai. However, Situ Xin was quite pleased with such a Cultivation talent and praised him, "Muli, your talent is truly remarkable, even better than that of my brothers."

"That’s right, who do you think I am? I’m your husband, your closest person," said Xiao Muli cheerfully as he hugged Situ Xin’s waist and drew in for a kiss. He did not dare to kiss her deeply; ever since they began sharing a bed, the moments before he fell asleep and while waking up in the morning with Situ Xin were the most tormenting, as he often couldn’t control his reaction towards her. But given Situ Xin’s current situation, it was impossible for them to engage in such ’exercises’.

Thus, Xiao Muli always suppressed himself painfully. Sometimes, he would avoid Situ Xin and take care of his urges in the bathroom alone. He didn’t dare French kiss Situ Xin or anything that might lead to suffering on his own end.

"I’ve noticed your mouth is getting more and more cheeky," Situ Xin poked Xiao Muli’s chest and said.

"Ha-ha, my dear wife, I only talk like this in front of you. I hardly speak when I’m around others," Xiao Muli laughed and said. Situ Xin actually agreed with this and nodded her head. Even in front of his father, Xiao Guobing, Xiao Muli always had an expressionless face.

Indeed, it was only when facing Situ Xin that his expression could be described as rich.

"By the way, this is for you." Situ Xin remembered she had something for Xiao Muli after Baibai nudged her leg with its paw. She then handed Xiao Muli the Spirit Stone used for testing the Spiritual Root.

"What is this?" Xiao Muli took the transparent stone Situ Xin handed to him and asked with curiosity.

"It’s a Spirit Stone for testing your Spiritual Root. Hold on to this. Tomorrow when you talk to Grandpa about Cultivation, ask him if he’s willing to Cultivate. If he wants to, use this Spirit Stone to test his Spiritual Root," Situ Xin explained, "Oh, and how to use this Spirit Stone, let Baibai give you a detailed explanation later. And as for your parents..." Situ Xin hesitated a bit but still asked.

"Let’s leave my parents out of this; it’s better to keep this secret to as few people as possible," Xiao Muli immediately dismissed the idea of telling them when he thought of his parents. Considering his mother Liu Yun’s attitude and thoughts towards Situ Xin, Xiao Muli dared not discuss these matters with her. He didn’t want any harm to come to Situ Xin; she was obviously far more important to him than his mother, Liu Yun. "Please have Baibai tell me the details later. But, my wife, why didn’t you help me test for this so-called Spiritual Root just now?" Xiao Muli asked, shaking the Spirit Stone in his hand.

"Silly, we both know you definitely have a Spiritual Root. Why bother testing it?" Furthermore, Baibai left unsaid that the Cultivation Technique Xiao Muli practiced was somewhat similar to Situ Xin’s, which did not differentiate between types of Spiritual Roots.

"Oh, I see," Xiao Muli replied, not getting angry at Baibai’s rather blunt tone.

"We’ve been here quite a while; we can go out now," Situ Xin said, believing that enough had been said and done.

"We have been here for quite some time. Let’s head out," Xiao Muli replied, tightening his arm around Situ Xin’s waist.

"Eh, Master, are you leaving just like that and going to leave me alone in this space again?" Baibai, seeing that Situ Xin didn’t look like she was planning to take it with her, became anxious. After all, Baibai had almost been bored stiff during the time it was left alone in the space.

"Baibai, don’t be so hasty. I can’t take you out today, but tomorrow, I will. Just hang in there for a bit longer. I’ll let you taste the newly brewed wine I have," Situ Xin knew Baibai’s weak point. As soon as alcohol was mentioned, Baibai’s attitude immediately softened.

"Ah, Master, you promised, so you’ll let me out tomorrow, and you’ll also let me try your newly brewed wine as compensation. No takebacks!" Baibai’s expression quickly shifted from sorrowful to smiling and ingratiating.

"When have I ever gone back on my word? But, Baibai, if you keep doubting me like this, I might just pretend I never said anything today." Situ Xin said playfully, teasing Baibai.

"Ah, Master, I know I was wrong, just pretend you didn’t hear what I said just now. Ah, I’m going to cultivate right away." After speaking, Baibai dashed away from Situ Xin and Xiao Muli in the blink of an eye. It’s better to dash off quickly, or else it might say the wrong thing again and really lose its good wine.

Seeing Baibai vanish from her sight, Situ Xin smiled helplessly, Baibai is still as rash as ever.

But Xiao Muli, watching the direction Baibai disappeared, asked Situ Xin, "Baibai actually likes to drink? A White Tiger likes to drink?"

"Ah, Muli, let me tell you, you must never tell Baibai to its face that it is a White Tiger. It gets angry. And Baibai angry is a really terrifying thing," Situ Xin preemptively gave Xiao Muli a lesson.

"Eh? Baibai is a White Tiger, why would it get angry if we say so in front of it?" Xiao Muli asked in confusion.

"That’s right, Baibai is a White Tiger. But, you see, it’s not a White Tiger from our world, it’s the Divine Beast White Tiger from the Cultivation World. The status and position are completely different. Generally, Divine Beasts are very proud creatures, and on top of that, it’s the king of the Divine Beast White Tigers," Situ Xin explained.

"So that’s how it is. I was thinking Baibai could speak because it’s been living in the space for so long and might have mutated. Okay, I get it now. I’ll be careful in the future," Xiao Muli nodded in response.

"Hehe, Baibai has stayed in the space since it was born. Saying that it mutated, well, it really did mutate. It’s even stronger than the previous White Tiger King. Right now, following me, it doesn’t have many opportunities to show off its abilities. If it were in the Cultivation World, I guess those Cultivators would have long been eying Baibai," Situ Xin said, with a thought, the scenery in front of her and Xiao Muli changed, and they returned to their new house.

Xiao Muli and Situ Xin had a good night’s sleep. And the next day, Xiao Muli took the Spirit Stone that tests for a Spiritual Root to see his grandfather, Old Master Xiao.

Situ Xin didn’t know how Xiao Muli explained the matter of cultivation to his grandfather, and she didn’t ask; Xiao Muli merely spent about three hours in the study with his grandfather, and both emerged with smiles on their faces.

Xiao Muli told Situ Xin that his grandfather has a Spiritual Root, but it’s a Triple Spirit Root. His aptitude is a bit worse than her family members. But it’s okay, possessing a Spiritual Root is enough to cultivate, and that’s what matters. Situ Xin handed over the Cultivation Technique suitable for Old Master Xiao to Xiao Muli.

Thus, Old Master Xiao also embarked on his path of cultivation.

Unknowingly, Situ Xin had been pregnant for three months and had successfully passed the risky period. And her belly was starting to show. Perhaps because she was carrying triplets, and only in the third month, her belly was already bigger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman’s.

And because Situ Xin’s pregnancy was not only her first but also triplets, everyone was quite nervous, watching Situ Xin all day, forbidding her from doing this and that. Let alone letting her go out for a walk.

Situ Xin felt that it had only been a month, but it felt like a year to her, she was really getting stuffy staying at home.

Just as Situ Xin was about to burst with the urge, Xiao Muli suddenly spoke up: "Wife, we need to make a trip back to the Xiao Family Ancestral House. Can your body handle it?" Saying so, Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin’s belly with a worried expression.

Under normal circumstances, Situ Xin would be extremely resistant to going back to the Xiao Family Ancestral House. But having been cooped up at home for a month and desperately needing to get out, as soon as she heard she could go out, she didn’t mind if it was the Xiao Family Ancestral House that she didn’t like very much. A smile immediately appeared on her face, and she said, "Ah, Muli, really? We’re going to the Xiao Family Ancestral House? Don’t worry, I’m fine, the babies in my belly are very well-behaved." Situ Xin said, lowering her head and gently stroking her belly, speaking to the babies, "Babies, Mommy’s right, isn’t she?"

"Or, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up later, then I’ll feel reassured." However, Xiao Muli didn’t actually want Situ Xin to accompany him to the Xiao Family Ancestral House. Moreover, he had just blurted it out without thinking. Now, seeing the beaming joy on his wife Situ Xin’s face, the words "you better not go" he was about to say simply couldn’t leave his mouth.
