Chapter 3101

"I didn't mean that," Yun Meng said, looking speechless. "I was just curious how you got the Eternal Contract."

Yun Meng’s eyes were full of curiosity. Such marriage contracts were usually the job of officials in the Immortal or Divine Realms. Why would one be here in the Underworld?

Yan Xizhong smiled lightly. "That’s a long story."

"Tell me," Yun Meng urged, still curious.

Seeing his wife’s interest, Yan Xizhong didn’t hide anything. "Actually, it’s not a big deal. It’s just like this."

Yan Xizhong organized his thoughts and explained to Yun Meng: "The universe we are in is called the Supreme Universe. It was created by the Supreme Black Emperor. Since it’s a new universe, many divine positions weren’t filled yet. So, everyone had to cover for each other."

"Cover for each other?" Yun Meng blinked, slightly confused.

Yan Xizhong nodded. "To put it simply, part-time work. For a while, my parents were borrowed to work as Marriage Messengers. Later, my mother found a replacement deity and returned. When she came back, she casually brought some marriage contracts with her, including the Eternal Contract."

Yan Xizhong laughed again. "My mother doesn’t like managing these things. To her, except for medicine, nothing else is important. So she left these contracts with me, saying I might need them someday."

Yan Xizhong waved his hand. "So I just kept them."

"I see," Yun Meng realized. Now she understood why Yan Xizhong had the Eternal Contract.

Yan Xizhong looked at Yun Meng again. "Wife, do you want one? I have quite a few."

"Stop joking," Yun Meng glanced at him. "Marriage is very important in a person’s life. You can’t just play with it. Don’t turn a good match into a bad one."

Yan Xizhong smiled. "You’re right, wife. That’s why I rarely use these contracts. The contract between your sister, Yun Ling, and First Soul was actually the first time I used one."

Hearing this, Yun Meng felt relieved. As long as Yan Xizhong didn’t mess around, it was fine.

Half a month later, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng decided to visit Yun Ling. Most importantly, they wanted to bring some daily necessities.

Yun Ling and First Soul now lived in a cave deep in the mountains. With First Soul’s abilities, the cave was arranged like a comfortable home. The cave entrance faced a cliff, which connected to a small path leading out of the mountains. Most of the area formed a large platform.

Considering Yun Ling’s condition, First Soul built a wooden fence on the platform. This allowed Yun Ling to absorb the Yin energy of the moon every night.

Seeing Yun Meng and Yan Xizhong visit, Yun Ling was very happy. "Yun Meng, you’re here."

Yun Meng handed the items to First Soul and then looked at Yun Ling. She noticed Yun Ling’s belly seemed much bigger. "Sister, your belly has grown quite a bit."

Yun Ling nodded. "Recently, while absorbing Yin energy, I found the baby absorbs it very quickly. Because the absorption is fast, the belly grows fast too."

Yan Xizhong said, "Let me check your pulse."

Yan Xizhong wasn’t a doctor, but he knew basic medical knowledge. Plus, since the child in Yun Ling’s belly was a Soul Child, it was easy for him to know the baby’s condition.

Yun Ling sat down and extended her hand for Yan Xizhong to check her pulse.

After carefully checking, Yan Xizhong said, "The baby is healthy. However, because it’s a Soul Child, it needs to survive by absorbing a large amount of vitality energy, which comes from the mother. So, starting from the fourth month, you will gradually become weak. Even if you are weak, you must continue absorbing Yin energy every day, as it is essential for the baby’s birth."

"I know," Yun Ling nodded seriously.

Yan Xizhong added, "Although a Soul Child is born in seven months, it is a test for the mother. Here, take this." Yan Xizhong casually took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Yun Ling.

"This is a top-grade Yuan Nourishing Pill refined by the Medical Emperor. There are one hundred pills inside. Starting from the fourth month, you must take one pill every day. This will maintain the vital energy your body needs."

The pills Yan Xizhong gave were indeed the Yuan Nourishing Pills refined by the Medical Emperor, Zhu Yanyi. These pills were suitable for people with special abilities. Since Yun Ling was a Heavenly Master and carrying a Soul Child, she needed them very much.

"Thank you," Yun Ling thanked him sincerely.

Yan Xizhong waved his hand slightly. "Since I promised to let the Soul Child be born, I naturally need to contribute. If I hadn’t agreed, it would be fine. But since I did, this karma has already formed. If I can’t ensure a safe birth, I will incur bad karma."

First Soul said from the side, "Regardless, thank you. You didn’t have to help us."

"Easy for you to say," Yan Xizhong sneered lightly.

She could have ignored them, but if she did, her wife would be angry. Men of the Yan family always valued their wives. Even if she was unwilling, making her wife sad would make her a bad husband. Then, when she returned home, the Yan family members would criticize her, even calling her a scumbag.

In that case, Yan Xizhong felt he would truly be wronged.

So, no matter what, Yan Xizhong didn’t plan to make his wife angry. Besides, while others might not be able to help Yun Ling, as the Young Palace Master of the Yan Palace, ensuring the safe birth of a Soul Child was within his ability.

Even without Zhu Yanyi’s Yuan Nourishing Pills, she could use other methods. However, other methods might alert the Heavenly Dao of this world. Fortunately, with the pills, she didn’t need to go chat with the Heavenly Dao of this plane.

"Sister, I specially brought bird’s nest. I heard that pregnant women who eat bird’s nest will have beautiful mothers and babies," Yun Meng smiled, pointing to the bird’s nest nearby. "I’ll bring more when you finish this."

Yun Ling nodded. "Recently, all the food, drink, and supplies here have been provided by you and Young Master Yan. It’s really troubling you."

Yun Meng said, "Sister, why are you being polite with me? We are sisters." Then Yun Meng paused. "By the way, Grandpa’s small birthday is in a month. I will go back then. You don’t need to come back."

"I didn’t plan to go back anyway," Yun Ling pointed to her belly. "I’m already uncomfortable being pregnant. If I go back and meet Dad, it will be even worse."
