Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 688: A request to Rong Nianbing; After Ning Tian became pregnant, Chen Junting's son (two parts combined)

"Yuhao, otherwise why do you think I haven't been to the God Realm Committee these past few days? Of course, it's because Xiaotian is pregnant and I'm going to be with her."

Wearing a simple white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, Chen Junting, wearing black slippers, strolled over to Huo Yuhao and the others. The faint smile on his face conveyed a playful yet joyful expression.

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Seemingly sensing the awkward atmosphere, Chen Junting put the phone he was playing with into his pocket and took a sip of the pearls in his cup, finally breaking the tension.

Next second,
"Brother Junting, Sister Xiaotian is pregnant?!"

The moment he came to his senses, Huo Yuhao exclaimed in surprise, then immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

The others present then offered their congratulations.

Chen Junting naturally returned the greeting with a smile.

He looked at Rong Nianbing and said with a smile, "If Senior Rong Nianbing hadn't been leaving today, I would still be with Xiaotian. But since you're leaving, it's only right that I see you off. However, on another note..."

Suddenly, he changed the subject, "How about we wait until Xiaosheng gives birth to the baby, and then hold a full-month celebration before you leave?"

"I think you want me to be the cook."

Seeing through Chen Junting's intentions, Rong Nianbing felt both amused and exasperated, and also thought that this guy was really "insidious and cunning" for choosing to "scheme" against her in such a tender way.

Chen Junting didn't care after being exposed. He vaguely brushed it off with "I guess so" and then shamelessly extended another invitation.

"Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"...No, thank you."

Faced with Chen Junting's invitation, Rong Nianbing hesitated for a moment before politely declining. She decided to leave now; if she delayed, something might happen that would prevent her from leaving.

"Sigh—alright, whatever you say." Seeing that Rong Nianbing seemed to have made up her mind, Chen Junting didn't extend any further invitation.

However, his sighing action completely dispelled Rong Nianbing's inner turmoil, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.

Sure enough, this guy was just waiting for me to agree before he cooked!
They've dug a hole for me to jump into!
But it seems you can't trick me now.

"Wait, what are you doing reaching out your hand?"

A hand suddenly reached out, causing Rong Nianbing, who had just been secretly pleased, to raise an eyebrow. She then looked at the owner of the hand, puzzled, her mind filled with questions.

"What? It's a gift, of course!"

With a "what do you think?" look on his face, Chen Junting was quite self-righteous at this moment. "My child was born, and as an elder, our relationship has reached this point, so you should at least show some appreciation."

"Just a little something?"

Rong Nianbing's lips twitched slightly, and she immediately retorted. "What's our relationship like? How come I don't know anything about it? Besides..." Seeing Chen Junting's attire, she continued, "You're dressed like this to say goodbye to me? You didn't even take anything with you, don't you want to offer anything?"

"Look what you said."

Chen Junting patted his chest and gently reached out with his left hand.

A crystal appeared in his hand.

"This is a key for recording information on an interstellar spaceship. Consider it a farewell gift for you. It will prevent you from being lonely and having nowhere to stay while traveling in space. How about it? Isn't my gift thoughtful enough?"

Starship!?
Hearing this word instantly attracted everyone's attention.

No one is an exception.

However, some people were unaware of this, such as Rong Nianbing and his group; others, such as Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er, did not expect that the interstellar spaceship, which should have been in a semi-finished state three months ago, could be successfully completed so quickly and put into use directly, because one of them was one of the researchers and the other was the researcher's wife.

"Wow—what a generous gift!"

Rong Nianbing took the crystal and examined it carefully.

But after a short while, he deliberately lowered his voice, and that "I know so much" expression vanished instantly, replaced by...

"What exactly is this interstellar spaceship? How do you use it?"

"A spaceship, huh? It's..."

After some explanation, Rong Nianbing finally understood the most basic things. As for the most troublesome parts... naturally, they could all be left to the spaceship itself, so there was no need to worry about them at all.

I have to say, this interstellar spaceship is really amazing!

“Since you’ve given me such an expensive gift, I can’t be stingy.” Rong Nianbing flipped his hand, and a gift box that seemed to have been prepared in advance appeared in his hand. He looked at Chen Junting, who raised his eyebrows and adopted an attitude of “explaining,” and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. “I was just pretending. After all, the Goddess of Life came here a few days ago, and she told me about it during our chat.”

After saying that, he tossed the gift box slightly.

Chen Junting took it without looking at it and put it away.

"You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

After everyone had finished saying what needed to be said and making all the necessary arrangements, Rong Nianbing and his group of nine were about to set off.

By the time the interstellar spaceship arrived, almost everyone was drawn away by this behemoth. Just then, before Rong Nianbing could even reach the top, Chen Junting grabbed his wrist.

"Could you do me a favor on this trip?"

Upon hearing this, Rong Nianbing, who should have been enthusiastic, instantly lost interest. Her face fell, and she looked resentful. "I've already 'retired' and quit, why are you still looking for me?"

Despite saying this, he actually put on a "listening attentively" attitude.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious and won't affect you much. I just hope that when you're traveling in star systems outside the jurisdiction of the Douluo God Realm, if you encounter anything, as long as you think it's important, then report it all back to the God Realm. There might be surprises, or there might be frights, but in any case, we can make a judgment."

Rong Nianbing was slightly surprised and asked incredulously.

"that's it?"

Chen Junting nodded calmly. "That's it."

He then added playfully, "What? Want more?"

"no."

Rong Nianbing waved her hands repeatedly, her expression clearly showing her refusal.

"Let's leave it at that."

He readily agreed, but couldn't help but secretly marvel at his own words.

Surprisingly, they didn't choose to continue exploiting him.

That cosmic journey... was really easy.

"By the way, how can I contact you if I have some information?"

“No problem.” Chen Junting shook his phone. “Making calls and sending messages are both fine, since our phones are already connected to the central hub of the God Realm. No matter where you are, as long as your phone hasn’t been damaged and it was manufactured inside the God Realm, it can connect.”

Soon, after bidding a final farewell to Rong Nianbing and his eight wives, Rong Nianbing used a crystal to summon a brand-new interstellar airship, which then landed in the northern land.

Chen Junting and the others watched as Rong Nianbing and the others stepped into the airship one by one. Once the cabin door closed, Rong Nianbing and the others' long journey through the stars began!
Now that Rong Nianbing and the others had been seen off, there was no need to stay any longer. After joking around with the children for a while, they all left the waterfall, preparing to depart.

"Brother Junting, will you still be on duty at the God Realm Committee during this period?" Huo Yuhao asked before leaving.

Chen Junting simply smiled slightly, his tone tinged with apology. "Right now, the God Realm is gradually stabilizing, and Xiaotian happens to be pregnant at this time, so I plan to focus all my attention on Xiaotian for the foreseeable future. As for guard duty... I'll have to trouble you all; consider it an excuse for me to slack off."

"no problem."

Huo Yuhao waved his hands repeatedly, giving his assurance.

"Brother Junting, leave it to me."

Wang Dong'er peeked out from behind him, "Brother Junting, you should go back now. We'll also try to visit Sister Xiaotian when we have time. If you're about to give birth, remember to let us know!"

"no problem."

Having said that, Chen Junting transformed into a streak of light and drifted away.

Watching his departing figure, Wang Dong'er leaned her head against Huo Yuhao's shoulder, her eyes filled with envy and anticipation. "Sister Xiaotian is pregnant. I wonder when we two will be able to have a child?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head and met her big, watery eyes. His heart trembled and a surge of excitement welled up inside him. He then suddenly picked up Wang Dong'er in a princess carry.

“Since Dong’er wants it, let’s go back now and work together. After all, it’s incredibly difficult for us gods to have children, so we have to make an effort. Let’s try to get pregnant shortly after Brother Junting’s child is born, and hopefully it will be a boy.”

"So, if Brother Junting and Sister Xiaotian have a daughter, we can have our son bring her over to be our daughter-in-law. What do you say?"

Wang Dong'er blushed at Huo Yuhao's sudden action, and after hearing his words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Look at what you're saying. But..."

Her words were hesitant and fragmented, and she finally buried her head in Huo Yuhao's arms, only muttering a single sentence.

"What about your promise to Brother Junting to stay on duty? Besides, it's broad daylight, isn't that inappropriate?" Although she said this, her actions showed no sign of refusal.

Huo Yuhao also noticed this, turned around and left, saying as he went, "It's alright, it's Brother Gu's turn to be on duty today." After arriving at the Divine Guide Car, he put her down, opened the car door, and gestured, "Please get in, Your Highness."

Wang Dong'er smirked and continued the conversation. "Then... Little Huo, serve him, let's go."

……

Time flies... On this day, the Temple of Order was filled with important figures. Apart from the friends and family of the God of Order and the God of Love, none of the deities who came to offer their congratulations were below the level of a first-rank god.

Chen Junting stood outside the room, glancing at the tightly closed door every now and then. Even though he knew there wouldn't be any accidents and that the Goddess of Life was protecting him inside, he still couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"He's supposed to be a god-king, what's with all this panicking?"

Ning Bowen patted Chen Junting on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

Chen Junting glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw his arm trembling as well, but pretended not to notice. "Father, I know. I'm just excited, the kind of excitement that comes with becoming a father soon."

"Pfft—" ×N
Upon hearing this sophistry, several snickers sounded behind Chen Junting. This made him turn around abruptly, glaring at Gu Tianchen, Dugu Xin, and their group before finally fixing his gaze on Huo Yuhao, who was supporting Wang Dong'er, who was heavily pregnant.

Clearly, Wang Dong'er had successfully conceived thanks to Huo Yuhao's diligent efforts, only six months later than Chen Junting and Ning Tian. According to the Goddess of Life's diagnosis, it was a girl.

"Why are you laughing?"

Chen Junting said to Huo Yuhao in an annoyed tone, "When Dong'er is about to give birth, I'm sure you'll be even worse off than me."

Huo Yuhao simply smiled and remained silent in response.

Neither admitting nor denying.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and then came the screams of "Wah! Wah! Wah!"

After an agonizing wait, three extremely loud cries rang out, their sound as awe-inspiring as morning bells and evening drums.

Every deity present clearly heard the voice and clearly felt a special fluctuation within it—a fluctuation unique to the birth of life.

A brand new life has been born!

The cry was so loud, the breath so pure; a little life had been born into this world.

At this moment, all other emotions in Chen Junting vanished. Only the radiant glow of a god-king remained.

"The little one has been born!"

At the same time, the Goddess of Life in the room wiped and wrapped the child, then handed him into Ning Tian's arms.

This is a chubby little fellow, entirely pink, yet emanating a faint fragrance. The scent is quite peculiar, refreshing and invigorating, bringing an indescribable sense of pleasure. It's as if one has been reborn from it, sensing the most primal life force.

Ning Tian looked at her son in her arms, her eyes filled with maternal radiance and love, and murmured, "My son."

Just as she gave birth, she involuntarily experienced hallucinations, and past memories flooded back. She recalled the moments she and her brother Junting had shared on the Douluo Continent, and the birth of her son was the fruit of their love.

At this moment, the Goddess of Life raised her hands and placed them on Ning Tian's shoulders. A rich life force burst forth, enveloping her entire body and nourishing the life energy she had consumed during childbirth, thus alleviating the postpartum depletion.

"Have you and Order decided on a name for your son?"

"Think about it."

Ning Tian smiled slightly in response to the question from the Goddess of Life.

His name is Chen Tianshuo.

"Good name."

The Goddess of Life lowered her head and gently kissed Chen Tianshuo's forehead in Ning Tian's arms. Instantly, a green halo bloomed, causing Chen Tianshuo's small body to tremble slightly. The next instant, his entire body turned green.

Ning Tian was surprised and even moved by this.

"Thank you, Little Green."

The kiss of the Goddess of Life is not something anyone can receive easily. This kiss is equivalent to granting the child, Chen Tianshuo, the blessing of the Goddess of Life.

This blessing requires one-tenth of the Goddess of Life's divine power, and this is not a temporary consumption, but a fundamental one. It will take her at least several decades to cultivate back the life force she has consumed.

With her blessing, Chen Tianshuo's vitality will far surpass that of ordinary people. After all, he has only just been born and is far from inheriting a divine status; he is no different from an ordinary human.

However, after receiving the blessing of the Goddess of Life, Ning Tian's own vitality will be much stronger than that of ordinary humans, which will also give him a powerful self-healing ability.

Looking at his son, Ning Tian handed him to the Goddess of Life. "Little Green, please take this to Brother Junting. They must be waiting anxiously outside."

The goddess of life smiled and accepted the little life.

"it is good."
