Just like that four months passed in a blink of an eye.
Everyday was the same routine, your usual evening village patrol and at night, Shenshah having a merry life with Saharika.
By now, Saharika had matured a lot, she had fully accepted him in both her mind and soul.
In her world, he is her everything~
Aware of the fact that just like her, Shenshah too was alone in this world, she wanted to give him a child so as to keep their bloodline alive in case something bad happens.
Moreover, she knew that as a cultivator, unlike her..Shenshah would live for much longer and was destined to have many wives.
He even mentioned this thing when they first married.
So it was selfish of her, she knew that after some years wrinkles will start appearing on her face and eventually, she will lose the little charm she has.
Therefore, she wanted to have his first child.
As the mother of his first child, even if Shenshah marries a lot of women later, her position will be unshakable.
Yes, even if she knew that she would get old someday, she wanted Shenshah to always think about her, his first wife in the heart, and not to forget having a child will exponentially increase the intimacy between the couple.
And, she didn't have to wait long.
By the start of the fifth month, she finally had good news.
Saharika was sitting on the bed when she suddenly felt a little nauseous. She had already missed her last period. There was also an increase in the frequency of going to the bathroom while she was feeling more and more lethargic with every passing day.
At this point she was damn sure, all her signs pointed that she was pregnant.
Full of excitement, she rushed to where Shenshah was~
....
In the courtyard, I was admiring the leaves that were slowly falling from the maple tree..
"Just like the leaves that fall on the ground, Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall."
I remembered that once I read that in old times, autumn was called the season of fall; the second spring for lovers.
I finally realized the reason..
"The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like they are in love with the ground."
-I remembered, just like these leaves, how in the past few months I had been falling more and more in love with Saharika…
The cycle of hot summers and chilly winters before the fall is compared to the ups and downs each couple has to go through.
But after going through it, their bond only becomes stronger.
Just as my mind was thinking about many things, I saw Saharika running towards me.
Before I could even open my mouth, she jumped in my arms.
"Husband!"
"Husband…"
She kept rubbing her face all over my chest, her face was full of excitement without a doubt~
"Hey, what happened?"
-I gently embraced her.
With bright eyes, she looked at me.
She took a deep breath,
"I am pregnant!"
My breathing fastened, to make sure I was not dreaming, I put my hands on her little bulging stomach.
I could feel it, with my cultivation base, I could vaguely feel a faint heartbeat, a new life growing up in her mother's womb.
"My wife, you are really my lucky charm!"
Haha~
-I lifted her body and swung her in circles.
"Hahahaha, put me down!"
"The child may get hurt."
-Saharika, who was enjoying Shenshah's affection, spoke teasingly.
With her thoughts, I realized that she was now a mother.
Delicately, I put her down.
Saharika, just like a loving mother, stroked her belly gently.
The love in her eyes was overflowing~
"The child hasn't even been born yet and you are already giving him more attention than me?"
-I spoke aggrievedly.
Seeing my sad face, Saharika felt a little guilty.
She got on her tip-toes and started showering wet kisses on my face:
"No, I was just joking, my husband is my everything."
"This child is just proof of our strong bond."
-She spoke with her coquettish eyes.
"But why did you say him? Are you sure it will be a boy?"
"What if it's a girl?"
-Saharika seemed to be weighing pros and cons.
"It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or girl."
"Both are equal in my eyes."
"But I personally prefer a girl."
-I pinched her nose lovingly.
"Why?"
-Saharika seemed to like having such a sweet conversation.
"Well…if it's a girl I am pretty sure that she will be beautiful and obedient just like her mom."
"She will never cause me any trouble", I chuckled.
Feeling my hot gaze and unscrupulous hands, Saharika's cheeks were already flushed red.
I gently bit her earlobes as I slowly whispered,
"It is said that generally, only the first few months are safe for a pregnant woman to have sex."
"When I sensed the womb earlier, the child already seemed one month old, which leaves us only few months to enjoy ourselves, let's make the most of it my dear."
"Hmm!"
-Even though she was shy, Saharika never refused their happy time together.
She knew Shenshah was right. Later, her belly will be big and it will be very difficult to have sex. Also, not to forget when the child is born, she will have less time to spend with Shenshsh.
Actually, I was more eager than Saharika for the child to be born early.
'The last time the system gave such a good reward. When the child is born, I should get a reward again.'
'I wonder how many years of cultivation experience can I get when this child is born?'
-Just as I was about to lift Saharika to take her to our bedroom, the door of our house knocked.
"Aah, who is disturbing us at such a time?"
-There was some anger on my face.
"It's okay husband, you see who is there, I will wait for you in our room."
-With a blushing expression, she ran away not wanting others to see such a cute side of hers.
"Hmm, I can't help it."
"Let's see who is there."
When I opened the door, I was taken aback.
The visitor was someone completely unexpected~
"Quanzhi?"
