Douluo Sharingan, I really didn't coerce Xiao Wu!

Chapter 125 Honesty and Integrity

"You knew everything!" Xiao Wu's mind went blank, and her heart skipped a beat.

Her delicate body trembled slightly. It was no coincidence; Chen Xuan indeed knew everything.

On the day the Spirit Hall attacked the Heaven Dou army, his words were subtly suggestive and implied, which was enough to show that he had known about it for a very long time.

Xiao Wu stood there, stunned, her mind blank, unsure of what to say.

Chen Xuan's words reminded her of her selfishness; how painful it would be for the baby to be born without a father.

Xiao Wu never met her father from birth and depended on her mother for survival. Later, she was hunted down by the Spirit Hall, and her mother left her forever, leaving her all alone in the world.

She had already been through the rain, felt insecure, longed for family affection, and didn't want her unborn child to experience her suffering. She wanted to give her baby a happy life.

That's why Xiao Wu was in so much pain, feeling conflicted and unable to accept Chen Xuan.

The thought of accepting Chen Xuan brought back memories of that night: the disgusting liquid, the pungent stench, the suffocating sensation—it all felt like yesterday. She felt nauseous, as if her throat was stuffed full, her stomach churning and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

On one hand, there's her baby's happy childhood; on the other, there's the man she disagrees with. How Xiaowu wishes this man were her third brother, so she wouldn't have to make a choice.

Chen Xuanpu caught all of Xiao Wu's complex thoughts. He sighed, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

He also understood that, according to Xiaowu's ideal of chastity, if she lost her virginity to him and had to accept him as a person, she definitely wouldn't be able to accept him in a short time and would need a lot of time to heal her pain.

"Whatever you do, I respect it." Chen Xuan's tone was gentle, showing the utmost respect. At the same time, he didn't want Xiao Wu to make a painful choice.

"I don't have many relatives in this world. You and the child are the people I want to protect the most now. Whether you like it or not, I will not let anyone hurt you two." Chen Xuan made this promise with a solemn expression.

What's wrong with being a simp for the sake of the child and the child's mother?

The trees swayed, and the sunset's glow filtered through the leaves, casting a golden, shimmering light on the two of them.

Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, her thoughts swirling. After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke, "Chen Xuan, are you really not bothered by the child?"

She lowered her head, stroking her belly, her thoughts a jumbled mess.

Chen Xuan was taken aback. What kind of question was that? Who would dislike their own child?

"Why would I despise my own offspring?" He simply couldn't understand.

"No, you have to promise!" Xiao Wu was a little agitated and took this matter very seriously.

Chen Xuan felt bewildered, but he still raised three fingers and swore to the heavens on the spot, saying, "Heaven above, if I have ever treated my wife and children badly, may I be struck by lightning."

Then, feeling it wasn't quite enough, he added, "I will never forgive drugs and gambling in this life; may I be struck by lightning if I disobey!"

"Who...who is your wife? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly, filled with shame and indignation, and she completely ignored the trash talk that followed.

"what?"

This time, it was Chen Xuan's turn to be frustrated. What was going on? Wasn't that question supposed to be a way of burying the hatchet?

He was actually quite pleased with himself.

"I no longer have a father and mother, and my child cannot experience my pain." Xiao Wu's eyes dimmed, revealing her sorrow as she recalled painful memories, her heart heavy.

She looked at Chen Xuan, her tone softening as she whispered, "Thank you for not disliking the baby, Chen Xuan."

Xiao Wu couldn't imagine what she would do if one day her future baby innocently asked her, "Mommy, why don't I have a daddy?"

Only those who have been rained on know which flower suffers the most, so she didn't want the child to experience the same tragedy as her. For this reason, she was willing to compromise and try to accept the man who had violated her.

"What are you saying? That's my child too. How could I possibly dislike him?" Chen Xuan smiled.

He had always longed for a beautiful wife and a well-behaved, adorable daughter.

"Don't overthink it. I only made concessions for the baby. I haven't accepted you yet!" Xiao Wu raised her chin high and gave Chen Xuan a haughty snort.

Chen Xuan understood the implication: if they didn't accept it now, did that mean they would accept it later?

He looked at Xiao Wu with a strange expression. Was he implying that she should work hard?

"Not in the future either!" Xiao Wu huffed, raising her head and puffing out her chest, extinguishing his idea.

Chen Xuan didn't feel anything. He never intended for Xiao Wu to accept his existence anyway, and he was already satisfied that she didn't hate him.

"Chen Xuan, do you really know nothing?" Xiao Wu asked with a strange expression, suddenly looking at him suspiciously.

Chen Xuan was completely bewildered, not understanding a single word. What did he mean by knowing or not knowing?

Xiao Wu walked to a big tree, turned her back to him, and sighed, "Every soul beast that transforms into a human has a stable body and soul power before reaching level sixty. If they get pregnant during this period, the baby born will not be as good as expected and will have the characteristics of a soul beast."

In other words, their children may be born with the physical characteristics of the Soft-Boned Rabbit.

Men's words are deceitful. Now that Chen Xuan knows the details, what will his attitude be, and what will he do?

Xiao Wu looked nervous, still with her back turned. She cared deeply about everything concerning the baby, her heart pounding in her throat as she anxiously awaited Chen Xuan's answer.

To be honest, when he heard this, he was deeply moved. No one wants their descendants to be half-beast and half-human. What should be done then?

He wasn't against it, but he was worried about his child's mental and physical health, and what would happen if the child was ostracized and looked at differently.

During Chen Xuan's silence, Xiao Wu's heart raced, she was incredibly nervous, and the hem of her clothes was already wrinkled from being gripped so tightly.

"Are you... are you going to back out?" Her voice trembled.

Chen Xuan said, "You misunderstood. I was just thinking that the child will definitely enter human society in the future, and will definitely face exclusion and targeting. That's what I'm worried about."

"Don't lie to me, you really don't mind?"

"real!"

Chen Xuan gave an affirmative answer with a serious expression.

"I'm wondering if there's a magic elixir that can not only stabilize your body but also nourish the child in your womb, achieving innate invincibility," he murmured, his resolve hardening. He knew he had to ask someone about it when he got back.

Alternatively, is it possible to get similar rewards from the upgrade gift pack?

Xiao Wu shook her head, her expression sorrowful. She had no idea that her baby's possession of soul beast characteristics would inevitably attract strange looks.

"I don't know either. Third Brother knows so much about medicinal herbs, maybe he has a way."

Although she said that, she was very scared and dared not ask, otherwise Tang San would find out that she was pregnant.

"Don't worry, I'll figure something out," Chen Xuan said softly, reaching out his hand, but quickly pulling it back.

Xiao Wu blinked her long eyelashes, but said nothing.

Chen Xuan remained silent for a long while, pretending nothing had happened, before continuing, "Xiao Wu, there's actually another reason I came to see you this time."

"Mm." Xiao Wu nodded gently, her attitude mild, no longer so resistant to his presence.

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, his expression gradually becoming serious, and solemnly said, "I know I have no right to advise you, nor should I do this, but I don't want to see you and the child get into trouble. Xiao Wu, leave Wuhun City now, I'll take you away."
