864 14.140 Last Violet Star – Rebirth Pill
The entire Lan Zhuayun Sect had heard the joyful news that Hei Anjing was pregnant. The old men believed Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye intended to leave the sect once more when they first arrived at the Main Peak, but who would have imagined they would see Xia Jieye enter the old courtyard to see his father and uncle while closely hugging his Jing’er and making a gentle gesture towards his wife.
The couple had come over to see the family’s elders after breakfast. The two elderly men were enjoying tea after lunch when Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye came.
Father Yun welcomed them with a smile and said, “This is rare. For the two of you to suddenly get down off your peak to visit us, old men. Are you guys planning to leave again?”
“No. I won’t agree. There are too many people out there that want to harm you two. Just stay in the sect and be patient. They would lose interest after a few more years,” said Uncle Yun.
Hei Anjing said, “Father Yun, Uncle Yun, A’Xia and I weren’t here to ask permission to leave. I only wanted to walk for a bit and decide to drop by here. Actually, we have good news to say~” as he runs towards the elders showing his excitement.
“Baby, please don’t run. That’s dangerous,” said the Second Young Master of the Yun Clan.
Xia Jieye supported his wife from behind and had a very distressed appearance. No one could fail to notice how cautiously he was acting toward his Dao Companion since his typical attitude of apathy had softened. When they observed how their son and nephew were acting strangely, Father Yun and Uncle Yun were a little perplexed. The disciples had completed cleaning the pavement in their courtyard, so it is now spotless. Not even any stones are strewn about. Hei Anjing is immortal; hence, would falling to the earth even injure him?
Xia Jieye could see by the perplexed looks on his father and uncle’s faces that they believed he was being overly possessive and protective of his wife.
“Don’t look at me that way,” Xia Jieye said. “If you knew Jing’er’s condition, you wouldn’t even let him climb here to your peak from our house.”
.....
Uncle Yun looked at Hei Anjing and noted that he appears to be in good health and normal condition. “Eh? Is there something wrong with A’Wuan? If it’s something that cannot be resolved in this realm you two should ascend straight once,” said Uncle Yun.
“Should we alert the Bai Clan? They should be able to reach someone from the Upper Realm,” Father Yun pondered while scowling.
“I took a Rebirth Pill half a year ago, and just lately I, and A’Xia learned we finally struck a Jackpot after the seclusion of half a year, so don’t worry, Father Yun and Uncle Yun. Instead, it’s a joyous event. I’m not sick.” said Hei Anjing with a wide grin on his beautiful face.
When Xia Jieye finally made it to his lover’s side, he gave him support from behind and a waist embrace. He enthusiastically shouted the wonderful news that shocked the two elderly men, “Father, Uncle, your two are going to be grandfathers. My Jing’er is three months pregnant!” He lovingly massaged his free palm over the top of his Dai Companion’s tummy.
By chance, Father Yun spurted his tea over his younger brother’s face while he was listening to what his second son had just stated. Uncle Yun was startled and speechless. His mouth was slightly open as the cup in his hand slipped to the table and he let it go drowsily. When his older brother spilled tea on his face, he didn’t even flinch.
“PREGNANT!?”
The whole sect that spread the word may be heard in the two older men’s yells. Yun Huaxia, Bai Qiyin, the Crimson Cloud Peak disciples, the elders of the Lan Zhuayun Sect, and even Hei Anjing’s uncle Xue and his family arrived shortly after. Hei Anjing was encircled by them all, but they were unable to get near to him because Xia Jieye had imprisoned him in his hug and was warning everyone who dared to touch his wife.
Seeing his younger brother clutching his wife so closely, Yun Huaxia felt embarrassed for him.
“X-Xiao Jie... How about you let go of A’Wuan for a bit? Let the elders check on him. They are Medical Practitioners, they wouldn’t hurt your wife at all,” said Yun Huaxia trying his best to convince his younger brother.
“Nufftt!!!”
Xia Jieye was ready to answer no when his wife stopped him and grinned at the senior physicians.
He was aware that Uncle Yun and Father Yun had called to see how he is. Despite the fact that he is a doctor himself, he is the patient right now. He can only consent to them checking on him.
As Xia Jieye hugged him from behind, Hei Anjing said, “Please go ahead, elders,” and extended a hand in their direction. “I’ll give a word about the person behind me: You may ignore him.”
The old doctors all turned to look at Xia Jieye, who was glaring at them. Despite their little trembling, they nevertheless assisted the Supreme Elders in checking on their daughter-in-law. They only checked his pulse and didn’t do anything else. Nobody dared approach Hei Anjing because they were afraid the possessive brat would pounce on them in rage.
Hei Anjing’s pulse could be checked in a matter of seconds. However, they were taken aback when they felt a happy pulse, a sign that Hei Anjing is truly pregnant. When they learned of Hei Anjing’s heritage, they realized that Immortals had other ways to grow their population after first finding it hard to believe that a man could bear children. Since even in the Mortal Realm same-sex Dao Companionship is common.
“A’Wuan is certainly pregnant,” the elderly doctor declares. “The pulse is pretty stable because it has been going on for three months, and the child is safe and healthy. I assume that the Second Young Master feeds A’Wuan nutritious meals every day.”
“Three months!”
“You guys are done, right? We’re going back home!” said Xia Jieye as he used his wife’s space element and teleported the two of them back to their courtyard in the Crimson Cloud Peak. Leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Father Yun exclaims, “Ah! That brat!!”
“Congratulations! Supreme Master! Supreme Elder!”
The former great elder and the ancient sect leader are surrounded by some elders. They were all congratulated. After all, the child growing up inside Hei Anjing is related to them. It is Second Young Master Yun’s offspring.
Yun Fan asked his parents who were a same-gender couple like Hei Anjing and Xia Jieye.
“Dad, did you also conceive me in the same way? Would Brother Hei’s tummy grow big like those women do?” asked Yun Fan.
Uncle Xue smiled and said, “Yes, that’s right. You had also come out of my stomach as a baby.”
His father pats his hand and said, “In the future, if you had your partner be as kind and careful as your Master okay? It is very hard for your other half to carry your child.”
Yun Fan didn’t understand right away but he glanced at his lover, Sang’er, and promised his parents to always go to his chosen Dao Companion.
“I promise, Father. I will always be good to Xing’er!” said Yun Fan. Hearing this Yun Xing was shy that he lowered his head and hide behind his Senior Brother Yun.
Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin then moved toward the Fan Couple. They were quite interested in the circumstances surrounding Hei Anjing. They had never witnessed a man become pregnant before.
In a respectful greeting, Yun Huaxia greeted Uncle Xue and Uncle Fan. He said, “Greets Uncle Xue and Uncle Fan.”
“Hello, Sect Master Yun. Is there anything I can help you with?” responded Uncle Xue with a friendly smile.
Bai Qiyin approached and asked, “Uncle! Is this the effect of the Rebirth Pill? Anyone who ate that would be able to give birth?”
“Actually that’s not it. The Rebirth Pill is only useful for couples of the same gender. If a man ate it, like what happened to Wu’er, they would be able to have a womb. But this only lasts for two years at most. If the couple still didn’t conceive a child within two years they must eat another Rebirth Pill if they want to try again.”
Uncle Xue continues to explain the use and effects of the Rebirth Pill. “The Rebirth Pill won’t ensure that one can get pregnant. The couple would need to work hard to achieve it. Like how those two entered seclusion for half a year. Obviously, now we knew what they were doing after they closed themselves up at their own peak.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiyin and Yun Huaxia couldn’t help but blush. They were adults and knew what the Fan Couple meant.
Uncle Fan spoke, “Actually, it is better if you prepare for a child when you’re immortal. It’s not like you can bring them up during your ascension after all. But after becoming immortal it would be a bit harder to conceive. Wu’er and Xiao Jie were just lucky.”
“Even for me, it took 300 years before I conceived Xiao Fan. At that time, your Uncle Fan isn’t Immortal yet. So Xiao Fan was born half-human because of this. He needs to train a bit harder than other born immortal babies to awaken his divinity,” said Uncle Xue.
Understanding some points about the use and effects of the Rebirth Pill and a few circumstances involved in it, Yun Huaxia recalled that his younger brother is still a mortal.
He asked, “Does that mean the baby of A’Wuan and my younger brother would be half immortal and half human as well? After all, Xiao Jie is still a mortal.”
“No. Xiao Jie is already Immortal. The only reason he didn’t ascend is because of his punishment. He can only return there once his punishment duration is finished. But he already has divinity in him, he rarely uses it though,” said Uncle Fan.
He clearly senses Xia Jieye’s innate divinity. He also keeps his divinity hidden so he can continue to live among mortals. Along with him, Hei Anjing and his wife also frequently sealed theirs. Their bodies’ inherent divinity prevents ascension by force.
Stunned, Yun Huaxia asked, “My younger brother is already immortal?”
“Yes, he definitely remembered his original identity. Else why wouldn’t he panic after learning that he is the son of the King of Devils?” said Uncle Fan. “Anyway, if you have plans for children we can only advise you to ask Wu’er for Rebirth Pills and don’t buy them outside. There are lots of fake pills with regards to it.”
“Thank you uncles for the advice!” said Yun Huaxia and Bai Qiyin to these two elders.

Back to the Crimson Cloud Peak...
After immediately teleporting back to their house, Xia Jieye let go of his wife and found a comfortable place for him to sit. Hei Anjing couldn’t help but giggle since he was still being so cautious with his actions.
Chuckles~
Hei Anjing says, “A’Xia, you are too nervous. This body of mine is that of a cultivator. I wouldn’t be able to get hurt so easily.”
“I know. But I couldn’t help but get worried. You still have that wager with that Devil. Maybe I should just kill him and end this farce,” said Xia Jieye.
Hei Anjing said, “No. That’s my toy! You can’t just destroy it until I play enough!”
“But baby you are pregnant...” said Xia Jieye.
Hei Anjing’s attitude began to change as a result of his present situation. “No. I want to play. I want to fight. I want to ruin things. But you never let me do it before. A’Xia do you truly love me?” he said while wiping away tears from the corners of his eyes. Pregnant people had always been moody and unpredictable.
Xia Jieye, as if he was used to it, pulled his wife into his embrace and started coaxing him like a child. He could only give up asking his lover to stop killing as it was his nature to destroy things at his whims.
“Shss~ Okay Baby~ I said the wrong thing. I will not stop you. Just let me accompany you and protect you okay?” whispered Xia Jieye in a soft and gentle voice.
Hei Anjing, as if slowly calming down, nodded his head and fell asleep in the warm embrace of his husband. Today is another good day for the couple and their family.
