“Do you have a baby inside?”
Shi Qi felt immense pressure but it was clear that Si Fang had heard their conversation and couldn’t lie anymore, “Yes, Si Fang, do you find it strange?”
Si Fang shook his head as his gaze was glued to Shi Qi’s belly with his fingers poking and prodding until Shi Qi’s hair stood on end. Just then, they heard two stern voices from outside.
“Shi Qi, what are you doing?”
“Si Fang, what are you doing?”
Shi Qi stood up abruptly even though he was feeling a bit sore, causing his brow to furrow. Xing Beiming seeing this, rushed over to take him away from Si Fang’s grasp. He whispered, “Where does it hurt? Is that thing that hasn’t come out yet?”
Gu Weijing pulled Si Fang away indignantly, muttering as they left: ‘This Si Fang used to be close only to me and barely acknowledged others. Now he’s practically clinging to that pregnant husband. How can this be! If he absorbs the concept of the Broken Sleeve and male childbirth, what will happen?!’
Grasping Si Fang’s shoulder, Gu Weijing said sternly, “You can deliver medicine in the future but don’t get too close, understand?”
Si Fang blinked and instead of answering, he asked a question, “Master, do you have a baby inside too?”
Gu Weijing looked at Si Fang’s expectant eyes and sighed inwardly. “You people have really brought me trouble…”
In the room, Shi Qi was pulled onto the bed by Xing Beiming with his pants removed to check for injuries. Shi Qi struggled internally as he was torn between the urge to resist and the fear of resisting and just ending up lying bare-bottomed on the bed, so he just buried his head in the pillow in helplessness. Xing Beiming was not satisfied, so he patted Shi Qi’s well-rounded buttocks and said sternly, “Arch your back to lift your buttocks so I can see.”
Shi Qi with tears of humiliation, bent his legs and knelt on the bed as he felt his Master’s fingers wandering around the folds then slightly moving the jade object, causing Shi Qi’s legs to weaken as a soft moan almost escaped his lips.
“Can you bear it? Do you want me to remove it?” Xing Beiming’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he asked in a hoarse voice.
“You can’t remove it!” Before Shi Qi could reply, a loud voice replied before Gu Weijing came from outside the door. Xing Beiming quickly covered Shi Qi with a blanket. Shi Qi turned to look at Gu Weijing, his face embarrassed.
“It can’t be removed. This isn’t about discomfort but if you want him to suffer when he gives birth in the future, then remove it. It’s not as if I’m the one who’s gonna suffer in the future?” Gu Weijing’s words carried a hint of consolation.
Shi Qi felt a bit embarrassed but still managed to ask the question that had been lingering in his mind since last night, “Master Gu, what if… what if the child can’t come out?” Although the child is small when being delivered, but he doesn’t have a woman function that can deliver a baby.
“Rest assured and nurture the baby. I have a way when the time comes. The worst-case scenario is a C-section to remove the baby. Though I’m not entirely confident now but with a few more months, I can do it. I won’t tarnish my reputation.”
After Gu Weijing left, Xing Beiming looked at Shi Qi’s slightly pale face with his hand unconsciously touching him with a soft tone that he didn’t notice, “What are you thinking? Since Master Gu said it, we should trust him. Even if…” Xing Beiming thought of his conversation with Gu Weijing. Originally, the worst-case scenario was a C-section and saving only one person. As for who to save, he had already made a clear choice in his mind, the only choice.
In Shi Qi’s mind, in case there’s danger, as long as the child is safe, that’s what matters because Master values this child so much and Shi Qi remembers what his Master said that night. Whatever the reason behind the Master’s thoughts, even if it means risking his life, he must ensure his baby’s safety completely.
The thoughts of the two were completely different but both were heartfelt.
Seeing the atmosphere gloomy, Xing Beiming remembered Gu Weijing’s instructions and patted the blanket, “Get up. We should go out and relax.”
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call the place where Gu Weijing secluded himself is a paradise. Aside from other factors, just the lush greenery was a marvel. Add to that a few winter flowers in bloom and one might mistake it for spring despite the chilly temperature.
Shi Qi wrapped in a thick cloak that almost covered his face and looked at the scenery in surprise. It was even more beautiful than the journey here. He couldn’t help but admire, “Master Gu found a great place. I wonder how it will look when it snows here?”
It would surely be even more magnificent.
Xing Beiming stood behind him with his eyes fixed on Shi Qi’s figure wrapped in the cloak and his long hair casually tied with a hairband, flowing softly down his back and slightly scattered in front of his chest. He couldn’t move his gaze away and speak with a hint of emotion, “You won’t have to wait long. The first snow of the year is coming soon…”
Shi Qi froze. During the many years spent in the World’s Supreme Fortress, although almost half of that time was spent with his Master, whether in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, they rarely had normal conversations like this in the mild winter breeze. It was usually spent hiding in the shadows and watching from afar.
Now he is this close to Master.
Suddenly, a hand reached out to grab a strand of his own hair and interrupted Shi Qi’s thoughts. Before he could see the person’s expression clearly, Xing Beiming wrapped his arm around Shi Qi’s waist and pressed them against a tree. Their breaths mingled and their eyes were intense yet their actions were still gentle.
“Master?”
“Don’t speak.” After hurriedly speaking, Xing Beiming fiercely bit down and targeted the lips that were nibbled on for quite some time last night.
This kiss carried a hint of dominance, undeniable and irresistible, yet deeply captivating.
First sucking and then biting, making the lips swell red before skillfully prying open the closed teeth and boldly thrusting the tongue in to play with the inexperienced tongue.
“Mmm…” A restrained light pant escaped through occasional gaps and the previously bewildered arms slowly relaxed before climbing onto the solid and reliable back.
The two of them embraced and kissed amidst the sky and green trees, leaving Shi Yi and Shi Er stunned. They never imagined such a romantic scene would happen between their own Master and brother. Setting aside their identities, anyone would admire them because of their passionate love.
Shi Yi made a puzzled expression and gesture; ‘What’s going on? Did something happen while we were away?’
Shi Er touched his lips; They did even more intimate things, so a kiss is nothing and true feelings are revealed in times of danger. Maybe something we don’t know about really happened.’
After a long kiss and despite learning to breathe while kissing, Shi Qi was still breathing heavily. His lowered eyes dared not to meet Xing Beiming’s face directly but his arm on the latter’s neck was either because he forgot or intentionally didn’t retract. Such a gesture earned a light laugh from Xing Beiming. “Looks like you still need more practice to reach my level, huh!”
Shi Qi: “Master, your profound inner strength, I’m afraid Shi Qi would need to practice for ten or twenty years, maybe even decades, to achieve such Mastery!”

The first snow of the year indeed arrived a few days later. Snowflakes fluttered down continuously for a day and night without stopping. From the courtyard, one could faintly see the mountains covered in white and the green trees were also adorned with snow. The vibrant spring scenery turned into a snowy winter scene in an instant.
During this period, Ke Weiqing lived an unusually comfortable life. Sometimes he hummed tunes while strolling around the courtyard and other times he teased those around him. Now, seeing the heavy snowfall, he preferred to stay indoors and lounging by the charcoal stove wrapped in blankets while even wishing that he could eat in bed.
That night, the snowfall was exceptionally heavy. The rustling sound of falling snow and the biting cold wind almost masked all other sounds of the night. The room was warm and cozy.
Ke Weiqing was tucked under two thick blankets and wearing only a pair of shorts while dozing off contentedly. Suddenly, he felt an itch in his nostrils and was unable to suppress two sneezes. This woke him up and as he tried to open his eyes, he felt something was off. It seemed like there was another person’s body heat under the blankets.
Ke Weiqing abruptly opened his eyes and instantly engaged in a brief scuffle with the intruder. Unexpectedly, the intruder shamelessly seized the opportunity by targeting his exposed areas. Ke Weiqing had to struggle to prevent his shorts from being pulled down but the intruder gained the upper hand and pinned him down to briefly touch a certain area before disappearing into the darkness.
Ke Weiqing gritted his teeth in anger and jumped up to pursue but just then, Xing Beiming kicked the door open while being accompanied by the Shadow Guards breaking in through the window and roof.
So they saw Young Master Ke who is almost naked and hopping around the room with his only pair of shorts barely hanging on.
Translator thought:
Hahaha poor Ke Weiqing
