1376 A Total Ingrate (1/2)
A Golden Core cultivator should have known his or her condition very well, and it was nearly impossible for them to get sick normally. Unless they contracted an old chronic disease or their injuries were not completely cured, only then would their sickness flare up again at some special circumstances. However, his mother had been living in such an environment that she shouldn't contract such a problem, right?
In the next moment, Tang Xiu bent over and squatted next to Su Lingyun to take her wrist. Half a minute later, his expression turned marvelous.
Eh? What kind of rhythm is this? He blinked and slowly looked up at his mother quizzically.
Su Lingyun was bewildered by Tang Xiu's gaze and asked with a puzzled expression, ”Why are you looking at me like that, Xiu'er? Why did you check my pulse too? Is there something wrong… with my body?”
Tang Xiu's lips squirmed a few times before he released her wrist. He then turned and walked back several steps before laughing uproariously. ”Hahaha. Mom, you don't have to force me to have a baby anymore. Hahaha… even if I have a child now, I'm afraid you won't have time to take care of it. Because…”
”Huh?” Su Lingyun frowned and angrily snapped. ”What nonsense are you talking about? How come I will have no time to take care of my grandson? You…”
Tang Xiu raised his hand to interrupt her and reappeared next to her. Then, he bent down to whisper to her ear with a smile, ”Well, it seems like I'll soon become a brother.”
”Come again?!”
Su Lingyun was dumbfounded. Then, she sobered up and abruptly got up from her chair with disbelief on her beautiful face. Even more, she felt ashamed and angrily snapped. ”What the hell are you talking about? I… how could I…”
Tang Xiu smiled in response and replied with all seriousness, ”I told you the truth, Mom. What you need to do now is to protect the baby and give birth to it. Wow, I”m gonna be a brother now. Hahaha…”
Zhang Shi, who was sitting at the side, had a strange expression and murmured, ”Eh?!! Xiu'er, do you mean… your Mom is pregnant?”
”Yup!” Tang Xiu nodded and added, ”It's been 3 months.”
In that instant, Su Lingyun stood silly on her spot and even looked a bit panicked. She was now a mother-in-law, with more than a dozen daughters-in-law. Those dozen daughters-in-law of hers had yet to become pregnant, but she, their mother-in-law… if… she was found out to be pregnant now, wouldn't that be quite shameful?
Tang Xiu immediately released his spiritual sense and quickly found Mu Wanying cultivating in her residence. He transmitted the message to her and she quickly appeared in front of the villa a few minutes later.
”Congratulations, Mom,” said Mu Wanying, unable to bear a smiling face.
”Uh, oh…”
Su Lingyun's mind was completely messed up. She really didn't expect that only a few minutes passed by and she hadn't yet warned her son to keep it a secret, now Mu Wanying had come and already knew about it. At the moment, she really wished she could find a burrow to hide. As of now, she was at a loss whether she had to cry or laugh.
”This is a happy event, Mother. A great event for our family,” said Mu Wanying with a smile. ”Tang Xiu just told me to arrange everything, so you can rest your worries. I'll take good care of you later.”
”No need. I'm fine by myself.” Su Lingyun was embarrassed and wished she could strangle her son, this fast-gossiper brat.
Tang Xiu just smiled and noticed his mother's embarrassment. Then, he immediately said, ”Grandma, I still have things to tend to, so I won't stay here. Anyway, I'll tell Xiaoxue to deliver everything needed by Mom later. That… Hahaha… well, I'll take my leave first since I still got things to do.”
With that said, he quickly vanished without a trace.
Half a day later, Tang Xiu found his father cleaning up his wounds at a military camp ten thousand kilometers southeast of Misty Spring Island. After giving a Purple Scent Pill to his father, Tang Yunde, he smilingly spoke, ”Well, Dad, there's something at home and you gotta go back now. Mom is waiting for you at home!”
Tang Yunde took the Purple Scent Pill and swallowed it directly. Then, he asked, ”What's going on? You know that I'm not available now, don't you?”
A smile crept up on the corner of Tang Xiu's mouth. ”Well, it's not a big deal. The thing is, you're gonna be a father again. But I'll go back and tell Mom that you're not free now.”
Huh? Become a father? Again?!
Tang Yunde was dumbfounded and his eyes turned saucer in an instant with disbelief as he exclaimed, ”Your Mom is… pregnant?!”
”Yeah, she is.” Tang Xiu nodded with a smile.
Tang Yunde was overjoyed and he instantly soared into the sky, laughing and shouting, ”Hey, Tang Wei, I'm gonna leave this place to you! Your Second Uncle has something important happen at home, so you have to manage and bring these good soldiers well!”
A figure then flashed and quickly appeared in front of Tang Xiu. The confused Tang Wei looked at Tang Yunde's back flying quickly and asked, ”What exactly happened? Why did Second Uncle...”
”It's no big deal. You'll soon become a Brother again,” said Tang Xiu with a grin.
