Chapter 712 You Are Going to Be a Father!
"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 at this moment, he felt worried and rushed into the bathroom.
As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Lin Xue just standing in front of the mirror, safe and sound. When she saw him coming 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 reminder came from behind: "Boss, Sister Xue is pregnant..."
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that Lin Xue's belly was bloated somewhat abnormally.
But, pregnancy?
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's true that the two of them didn't take any protection last night, but they got pregnant the next day. Is this scientific?
"Then I don't know. Anyway, it's yours, don't try to pass it up."
"Could it be that... I made a mistake? In fact, I'm not pregnant..."
The reason why 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 because she had just seen two souls in her body. Apart from her own, the other one was a very young and almost undetectable soul.
Coupled with her own physical condition, she naturally thought she was pregnant.
However, when Mu You asked this question, Lin Xue was 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 the joy 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, her eyes glancing 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 a 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.
Coke, who was chasing butterflies in the grass not far away, saw the little fairy suddenly appearing. His eyes lit up, and he quickly crouched from behind in a hunting posture. A cat jumped up and rushed towards the fairy queen in mid-air.
Unfortunately, it was not caught. The cat's claw penetrated directly through the Fairy Queen's body, as if she had no entity at all and was just a phantom.
The coke fell to the ground, and he stared 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's a 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 what is different from the Zhijie is that at this time, only Coke's time in the entire world has been stopped, and other surrounding creatures can still move normally.
Everyone ignored Coke. 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 wrong?" Mu You asked.
"The quality of the loss doesn't match up."
The Fairy Queen said: "Every time the time prison is opened and someone acquires the characteristics of a time observer inside, the heart of time will lose a certain amount of quality."
"We urgently compared the mass of the Heart of Time before 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 due to the formation of each Time Observer should be between 1.1-1.3 grams. And 3.6 grams is obviously the mass of three people."
The Fairy Queen looked at Mu You and Lin Xue, her eyes swept over Lin Xue's belly: "You two went in, but ended up taking away the mass of three people. At the time, I guessed that it might be you two who did it. Now it seems that it is indeed the case..."
"What is it?" Mu You was still a little confused.
"The Heart of Time was already on the verge of collapse, and the mass was lost so easily, so when you left, it became so shaky, and I tried my best to barely maintain it."
The Fairy Queen complained, and then spread her hands: "This kind of 'energy compensation' has actually happened before. A long time ago, there was a man and a woman who entered the time cage at the same time. When they finally left, the woman was found to be pregnant shortly after they came out, and gave birth to offspring within a few months."
"But they didn't stay in the time cage for as long as you did. , but it came out immediately after just five hundred years. The child in the body did not have time to inherit the characteristics of the time observer, so there was no extra loss of mass that time. This is the first time for you. "
The Fairy Queen touched her chin and muttered softly: "It seems that we have to add another restriction in the future. We can't let the opposite sex of the same race enter the time cage at the same time. It's easy to kill people in it..."
"Uh, can you explain it more clearly? What does the lost mass have to do with the two of us? What does "energy compensation" mean?" Mu You asked eagerly.
After listening, he actually had a vague guess, 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, and an indescribable feeling surged into his heart.
When Lin Xue said she was pregnant just now, he was too busy to believe it. Now that the Fairy Queen explained the principle and stated the fact so confidently, he suddenly felt it.
Mu You looked at Lin Xue, swallowed his saliva, and reached out to touch her belly again. When he touched it, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. When he thought that there was a little life belonging to them, growing slowly inside, he suddenly became cautious, as if holding some kind of treasure, afraid of breaking it.
Lin Xue smiled and watched him nervously touch her belly, and a sense of happiness rose in her heart.
For Mu You, this child may have come unexpectedly, but for her, this is the last piece of the puzzle that makes their love perfect after countless years of sharing hardships and crossing time and space.
The two were immersed in joy, and not far behind, Xiaoya and the other two who curiously ran to eavesdrop also opened their mouths wide.
"This is really..."
Linglong covered her mouth and smiled. She did intend to instigate the original body yesterday, letting him cook the rice into a cooked rice... But your rice is cooked too quickly, isn't it?
Mianmian tilted her head and pondered for half a minute before reacting. She pounded her hands: "Oh, I'm going to be an aunt? Or an aunt? Aunt?"
The little girl tried hard to figure out the relationship between him and Mu You. Although he and Mu You always call each other by their first names, they look more like brother and sister, but in fact, she is Mu You's adopted daughter in name...
After a messy inventory, the little girl finally nodded and concluded: "Well, I am at least a sister!"
Mu You was excited about the little life in her belly, and then she remembered something. She looked at the Fairy Queen and said awkwardly: "Is there any problem with the Heart of Time?"
The Heart of Time originally gave them two places, but they didn't expect that they created another little man in it and "stole" an extra reward.
It is naturally a great advantage for them that their children can have the characteristics of time observers at birth, but for the Heart of Time, this extra loss is not a good thing, especially since the Heart of Time is already on the verge of collapse.
"It's a bit troublesome... But we worked overtime and were busy all day, and now we have finally stabilized the situation temporarily, otherwise I wouldn't have time to come to you."
The Fairy Queen spread her hands: "Don't worry about these, I'm here to explain to you the issue of 'energy compensation'."
The Fairy Queen looked at the two: "Your child was actually born within the first 500 years after you entered the Heart of Time, but because your body will not change in the time cage, it cannot take shape. Until now, you have left the cage and returned to the real world, your child who should have been born long ago has finally shown his body."
"However, it is precisely because he has been in the time cage for too long that after suddenly having a body, the embryo will grow very fast in the early stage, So the normal pregnancy period is not suitable for 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 faster by inertia for a period of time until it grows to a size of about one year old, and then this inertia will be slowly eliminated. "
"During this period, because of the accelerated growth of the embryo and the baby, it is necessary to absorb energy far exceeding the growth requirements of normal children. This is called energy compensation."
The Fairy Queen said and looked at Mu You: "So next, she will eat a lot. You should provide her with whatever food she wants to eat. This is not her need, but the need of the child in her belly. If the external energy supply is insufficient, the child will instinctively absorb energy from the mother, and the manifestation is that she will lose weight quickly. "
Mu You was shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect there would be such a risk. It would be absolutely impossible to let Lin Xue use her body to compensate for energy. She must prepare enough energy next.
"Thank you."
Mu You sincerely thanked the Fairy Queen. If she hadn't come to remind them, the two new parents would have messed up without experience.
"Okay, I'll be relieved now that I understand what's going on."
The Fairy Queen waved her hand and prepared to leave.
Anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion. The lost quality can't be recovered even if she wants to. She is not here to ask for punishment. As long as she confirms that the quality of the Heart of Time is not lost for no reason, it will be fine.
The Fairy Queen floated in and left quietly without taking a cloud.
The moment the Fairy Queen disappeared, Coke, who was standing in the air, finally recovered.
Coke landed and subconsciously wanted to jump up again. As a result, he looked at the sudden change in the surrounding scene with a blank face and didn't know what happened at all.
In the next few days, the family suddenly became busy.
Because of Lin Xue's pregnancy, the whole family began to revolve around this expectant mother.
In addition to paying attention to the world situation, Mu You's first priority is to help Lin Xue prepare for childbirth.
Because of energy compensation, he needs to prepare enough energy food for Lin Xue in advance.
If the energy required for compensation is only divine crystals, it would be easy to say. Although divine crystals are precious, they are not rare and are everywhere in the high world.
He doesn't even need to look for them elsewhere. His current savings should be enough for the baby in his belly to squander.
However, eating crystals alone is not enough. Lin Xue can only eat a certain amount of crystals every day. If it exceeds the amount, Lin Xue will vomit, which means that the child is tired of eating and needs to change to something else.
Mu You usually has to accompany Lin Xue and can't be separated. He has to pick up the game he hasn't played for a long time again, and fight monsters in the high world to brush materials, specifically looking for those high-star beasts and those medicinal materials rich in divine energy.
In addition, he also has to serve as a chef, learning how to cook these ingredients and how to make them delicious. He can't let Lin Xue eat these bones, flesh and herbs raw.
Finally, he couldn't stop improving himself. He had to find time to gain experience and faith to improve his star level. He was busy doing several things at the same time and was very busy.
Of course, Mu You was actually happy with it. After all, he was making materials for his wife and children, so he was busy willingly.
And Lin Xue's appetite really increased in the past few days. Both of them were mentally prepared for this, but the increase in the amount still caught them off guard.
Mu You couldn't help but wonder. Even if it was energy compensation, the amount of compensation was too scary, right? With their family background, they both felt that they could not afford it. (End of this chapter)
