!" I said angrily.I'm so angry my eyes are red.The tightness and heaviness in my chest felt like I couldn't breathe. He didn't even explain, and he told us not to come back!"Are our talismans effectiv..."...you know your hands are always cold, right" I reached out and took his hand, rubbing it gently to warm him up.

He had faint scars on his hands, a layer of calluses where he gripped the sword. His fingers were long and strong, with distinct knuckles; sometimes, touching them felt like spending a good while playing.

"If you find yourself feeling weary and don't want to deal with these trivial matters, you can tell me, and I'll have them leave you in peace." Mu Wanchen looked at me, his eyes filled with a hint of concern.

He seems afraid I'm getting tired, but more than that...he's afraid I'll get bored.

"As a pampered girl, I'm afraid it would be too much trouble for you to work so hard for so many people. "

I shook my head. "There's nothing to feel sorry for... I was just thinking about something, and I got lost in thought."

"What do you want" Mu Wanchen's voice was low and gentle, listening in his ears, feeling numb.

"...I'm counting the days."

"Huh"

"I don't even remember when I last had my period last month. I've been so busy running around, I haven't even been paying attention to things like safe periods anymore. Just now, it suddenly hit me that... maybe... I didn't have my period this month." I whispered.

Even sitting down, Mu Wanchen was taller than me. He listened intently as I spoke, his brow slightly furrowed as he asked, "...Have you felt anything unusual about your body"

"No, no, nothing at all unusual." I waved my hand hastily, afraid he thought I should be resting or something.

I don't want to leave him.

"......You should let Lian Long diagnose you, but he also said that there's a possibility of misdiagnosis before the fetal heart is formed. It's best to confirm it with your method I'll accompany you out tomorrow." Mu Wanchen asked solemnly, "Why is there a ghostly presence in this room"

"...Just now, Ms. Xue's head floated over here, like smoke dissipating. Brother Long received a summons from the Great Corpse King, saying that an evil spirit was tracking me... I didn't notice anything strange at all." I recounted what had just happened.

Mu Wanchen shook his head and said, "I went back to summon the scattered divine eagles and searched roughly on one side, but I didn't find Ms. Xue's whereabouts. I suspect either she's hiding, or... she's been controlled."

"What do you mean Controlled By whom"

"There are still some refugees inside the Fa Men. They plan to gather at the gap in the Fa Men and transfer out all usable supplies, but it's far from enough. I feel like they want to escape the Fa Men..." Mu Wanchen frowned: "They might secretly rob relief supplies passing by - if they don't want to be discovered, they might even resort to killing without mercy."

I listened with wide eyes, was this a robbery out of desperation

"No, no! If anyone got hurt, the sin would be too great! Moreover, moreover, society isn't as simple and blind as it used to be. We'd definitely leave traces. The legal system isn't a place to hide anymore. Once we drew public attention and they started searching on a large scale, someone would definitely accidentally stumble into the legal net..."

Then we're basically done for.

"Your tribal chieftain's city, it looks like your own home, but if it's discovered by the country, it becomes a historical relic and belongs to the state. Archaeological research for twenty years, it becomes a 5A scenic spot, you understand You still want it back It's harder than reaching the heavens!"

"I understand, but those small tribes don't care about that. The consecutive natural disasters have shaken their beliefs. The destruction of the zombie village a few years ago made them terrified, feeling like the heavens were against them... Now things are getting out of control." Mu Wanchen frowned and said: "I even suspect that Ms. Xue encountered some of these crazy residents and was robbed or controlled somewhere."

It's been several days now, even if we managed to grab some supplies, it wouldn't be enough to last this long, would it

Those people aren't residents of Wuzhuang City. They usually listen to me, but now everyone is panicked and desperate for survival. They are acting a bit crazy and out of control.

"...I'm going to ask Master Yun Fan for a way to transport some disaster relief supplies to the edge of Famen. " I muttered softly.

Mu Wanchen closed his eyes and shook his head gently: "It can't be saved. The earth-shattering earthquake has destroyed their homes. For a secluded sect, this is a catastrophe... Because without external assistance, relying solely on internal resources is impossible to rebuild. Once they feel the threat to survival, they will reveal very strong aggression and exclusiveness."

"This isn't something that can be solved by one person being kind. It requires careful planning... Besides, your health condition is unclear right now. You should take care of yourself first. Let me accompany you to get a checkup" He kept bringing up this issue in every sentence he spoke.

I awkwardly shook my head. “No need to check, I'll just buy a pregnancy test… They’re usually pretty accurate.”

If it really is pregnancy, this definitely wouldn't be a good time.

I feel like I've been somewhat letting this issue develop, with a mix of feelings inside. There's a contradiction, yet there's also a faint anticipation for some good news.

Isn't this good news

Lianlong was quickly called over by Mu Wanchen to check my pulse.

I feel like I haven't seen him in a long time. He always seems so busy.

It seems he has never had free time, always busy taking care of patients.

And with him living here for a while and so many wounded needing his care, he's been so busy that he can't even keep up his personal appearance!

Lianrong's long hair was tied back with a single ribbon at the nape of her neck, slightly loose, with a few strands falling to her ears and chest.

He was naturally elegant, and now with this languid hairstyle and eyes that held a hint of weariness, he was incredibly charming—truly worthy of the title "beauty doctor".

"The Shaman King said, the little princess felt a bit unusual" He smiled faintly, placing the medicine box on the table.

“Doctor Li, where is your little medicine boy Why are you carrying the box yourself” I changed the subject deliberately.

Lianlong smiled and said, "Little Yaotong works hard every day to decoct medicine and is stretched thin. How could I bear to have him carry the medicine box and climb mountains with me"

I now live on a hillside platform, quite far from the houses below. Even though he's been working hard day and night, and has to carry his medicine box up here to see me, I feel a bit guilty.

"Just now, the Shaman King specially went to find me, instructing that the young princess seemed distressed and unwell, so he asked me to come and take a look... Could it be that the young princess is with child" he stated frankly.

Come on, you're a doctor, an expert! Shouldn't you at least examine me before telling me the results Isn't that how it works

"Huh Why are you staring at me like that, Your Highness Isn't this quite normal" he smiled as he sat across from me, pulling out a hand pillow used for pulse diagnosis.

"Are you okay" I asked a little awkwardly.

“Of course, after you two get married, you'll be living together, always inseparable. Such a loving relationship, the news of your joy will surely come sooner or later. You see, it hasn't even been the New Year yet, and you're already suspecting you're pregnant. This shows that you and your husband live in harmony.” He said with a faint smile.

Oh my gosh, my face is starting to get hot.

Though the phrase "husband and wife harmony" sounds fine, hearing it come from his mouth, I felt a twinge of unease—like he was talking about something intimate.ther finger tapping lightly above their lips. A tiny, almost invisible speck of powder fell into the child's mouth.His fingernails concealed medicine.I felt a chill go down my spine— I'd heard that pe...
