Chapter 1183: Chapter 711
At this moment, seeing Lin Dandan pregnant, Jiang Tang has been missing all along!
Not sure whether to feel relieved or disappointed!
According to these capable women, even if their husband is not present, they can afford to raise the child!
However, they are not born for the sake of having children, but because of love; they form a Daoist couple, and because of love, they become pregnant for someone else!
Tang Yanran’s eyes did not have much sincerity, she even felt Lin Dandan had stolen her love, yet she did not express it through sarcastic remarks!
Lin Daiyu was not so polite when she saw this sister!
“Sister, why do you bother? Look at others living so freely, only you are being foolish; how many months has it been? Does my brother-in-law know you’re pregnant? Is it worth it?”
Lin Dandan shook her head and entertained them in the living room, avoiding sensitive topics!
Others would be mindful of her feelings and avoid saying reckless words!
But this cousin of hers was not polite, wanting to mock her and make her feel uncomfortable!
“Sister, we’ve been here for months; you’re about to give birth. The family has sent many letters back; wouldn’t it be better to return to the family? Are you planning to have the baby without returning?”
Lin Daiyu used to advise Dandan to abort when her belly just started to show!
Of course, Lin Dandan did not agree, then the news of her pregnancy was sent back home!
The family members persuaded Lin Dandan, wanting her to return to the family to nurture her baby!
The good son-in-law went missing, filled with hope, hoping he just had matters at hand and would return soon!
This wait went on for months, and people in the cultivation world were discussing, wondering if the Saint Master encountered a mishap?
Due to the absence of the Saint Master, some have already planned to disturb the saint’s bases!
But those bases have too powerful formations; those with intentions cannot enter without causing chaotic upheavals!
The shops belonging to the Saint Sect no longer sell Supreme Elixirs. The supplied products are made by other members of the Saint Sect. Some have ideas, but the Ye Family and people from the Top Ten Clans would not relent, so no one dares to blatantly suppress!
Lin Dandan was very determined to wait in the North; her family had no choice but to send someone to take care of her during her pregnancy!
After all, Lin Dandan is the daughter of the Lin Family Elder; her courtyard is filled with maids and servants!
There’s also the wet nurse who has been with her since childhood; these people were carefully selected, all skilled in martial strength. Her mother also brought these people to this northern place to care for her!
Lin Dandan insists on celebrating the New Year here, and the family has sent batches of people. This time, the mother will arrive with others in one day!
None of Lin Daiyu’s expressions affected Lin Dandan. Seeing that her cousin is unpersuaded and learning that Lin Dandan’s mother will arrive tomorrow, she chose a room in Lin Dandan’s courtyard to stay in!
Tang Yanran hardly spoke the whole time; considering her past personality, she might have poisoned her rival!
But over these months, she seems to have let go, knowing even if she used poison, Lin Dandan might not get poisoned since they have consumed that type of Supreme Elixir, which grants their blood detoxifying functions!
Tang Yanran did not stay in this castle; she even believed that even going outside in her own magical treasure was better than facing Lin Dandan!
Visiting felt like self-abuse!
Xuanyuan Mengting, however, settled in a room, maintaining a courtesy towards Lin Dandan despite not having a good perception of her!
Additionally, she would meet Yan Weiwei, her senior sister, who has been taking care of her family and looking after Lin Dandan, residing in this castle!
No matter how chaotic it is outside, she would never leave!
Xuanyuan Mengting admired Jiang Tang, having the foresight to establish this castle and forge an unbreakable array!
This allowed the cultivators in this castle to live safely here!
Upon arriving here, one would naturally meet Cai Xiangxiang, a uniquely beautiful woman who just became Jiang Tang’s girlfriend, dealing with her own departure as a rival in love!
From her expression, you could see the tenderness of love’s longing pains!
Cai Xiangxiang felt on the brink of madness missing Jiang Tang, emotionally tormenting herself daily!
Her family advised her to open up, but once in love with someone, how can one stop themselves from longing for them?
Xuanyuan Mengting would not advise Cai Xiangxiang, simply because they were both pining away, becoming pitiable women.
The cultivation world saw different events; the twenty or so ancestral elders who appeared months ago vanished for a time and then suddenly returned to their respective families or to the Immortal Sect!
Of course, there were curious people wanting to know why those elders had come together?
Where exactly did they go?
Only the internal personnel knew where they had gone!
A day later, Lin Dandan’s mother came with some family members; Lin Dandan’s father, the elder himself, also appeared!
Of course, it was not just to see their daughter; the North was bustling, and only a few disciples were fighting monsters. Even some advanced internal personnel were sent out.
The authorities had caught some spies, but they dared not presume mass spying activities!
The three nations launched an attack before, yet they stayed inconspicuous afterward!
They might have realized collaborating with the Demon Realm failed to ambush and could end up surrounded by the cultivators in the North, not to mention attacking, appearing in such an environment would mean certain death!
Seeing her mother, Lin Dandan couldn’t help but cry!
Previously, when Jiang Tang was out, meeting family after months did not invoke such sentiment!
Or when family members went out for cultivation, returning after a year or more, she wasn’t as melancholic; seeing her mother wouldn’t make her cry in sorrow!
For the first time, Lin Dandan, about to become a mother, felt this kind of emotion upon seeing her mother!
However, seeing her father elicited different emotions than seeing her mother!
Mrs. Lin gently consoled her daughter, making the brought people busy so that mealtime would be taken care of!
Mr. Lin didn’t say anything; he merely came to see his daughter, and then he would take the others to the fighting scene!
They didn’t rush to the fighting area upon arrival, simply because they cared for their daughter!
Lin Dandan wiped her tears, had a brief conversation with her father, and accompanied her parents for lunch!
Her parents, using rest as an excuse, left her with the family members to check out the monster area together as a couple!
Returning to her room, Lin Dandan wouldn’t take a nap; as a cultivator, pregnancy wouldn’t lead her to sleep just for sleeping’s sake!
If she felt tired, she would meditate. Though her belly was large, making sitting uncomfortable, she found a comfortable position for cultivation!
Seeing others actively fighting monsters, she couldn’t fall behind even while pregnant!
Daily, she needed to absorb spiritual energy to nourish both her body and the child!
Others absorbed spiritual energy for enhancement’s sake!
Now, she absorbed spiritual energy for her child and her own spiritual power in the belly!
Two days passed, and now it was New Year’s Eve in the Mortal Realm!
This village used to be inhabited by mortals; now they all cultivate, yet the old customs are retained!
With the New Year approaching, without going to the market, they made their own delicious foods, and goods were delivered!
They cheerfully prepared for the New Year!
By the time tomorrow’s Spring Festival arrived, many involved in cultivation missions would rotate, and some from the periphery doing business, except those not wishing to return, or always out traveling, would prepare for the New Year in the icy weather, according to their arrangements!
Lin Dandan’s parents, along with other family members, also came to this castle, planning to spend a few days celebrating the mundane New Year!
New Year’s Eve night sparked off a lively barbecue with fireworks within the castle!
This castle, unaffected by the icy weather outside, remained warm, protected by the castle’s formation!
Many guests joined, including some friends of friends from within the castle, or acquaintances, all who weren’t on missions came here!
They came not just to eat but for the joyful atmosphere and to celebrate the New Year!
