The ground above was blanketed with pure white snow while the underground area was filled with forest and streams. It was quite a contrast.

“That can’t be right.” Gu Ruoyun thought for a moment. “That fellow has always tried to kill us. Why had he not made a move up until this moment? Since he has captured Zuo Shangchen and used him to lure us here, it’s impossible that he wouldn’t do anything.”

Qianbei Ye fell silent for a moment. After a long pause, he shook his head, “I don’t really know why either! However, I know that he has just broken the seal so would probably need some time to recuperate first. This may be the reason why he hasn’t caused any trouble for us. However, since he’s lured us here and did not hesitate to bring us into the Deserted Snowlands’ underground world, it’s likely that he already has some schemes laid out. We must be careful no matter what.”

“I understand.”

Gu Ruoyun curled her lips into a smile and looked at the peerless man before her as she replied.

“Yun’er, what happened to you? Why had you suddenly fainted?” Qianbei Ye stared at Gu Ruoyun with concern as he asked worriedly.

“I not too sure myself. It’s probably just my body feeling a little unwell recently, I keep feeling as if I need to throw up…”

Nausea?

Gu Ruoyun was shaken for a moment as if she had thought of something and placed her hand on her pulse. Instantly, her delicate and pretty features froze.

“What is it?”

Qianbei Ye stared at Gu Ruoyun nervously, his eyes filled with care and concern.

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and said, ” I’m pregnant. ¹ ”

However, this child has come at a truly inopportune time ² ! Right now, life and death was unpreditable for me so how am I going to protect the baby?

Qianbei Ye was completely stunned and remained dazed on the spot. His red, demonic eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.

After a long time, he suddenly recovered and stared at Gu Ruoyun exictedly, “Are you saying that you’re pregnant? You have our child?”

Gu Ruoyun sighed as she stared at the delighted man. “Unfortunately, we have plunged into peril and our lives could be in danger at any moment. I don’t know if the baby will survive with us.”

Under normal circumstances, she would have been just as excited as Qianbei Ye but when she remembered their current situation, her heart filled with worry.

“Yun’er, I won’t let any danger come to you or our child!” Qianbei Ye’s expression turned serious. “Even though I’m uncertain of what lies ahead of us, I will give everything I have to protect you!”

Gu Ruoyun stared at the man’s determined features and smiled gently.

This fellow was just as he has always been. Be it tone or manner, there was no difference.

However, Gu Ruoyun does not know why but she felt as if something was not right. This sensation caused her to feel like taking a step back whenever Qianbei Ye was near her…

“Yun’er?”

Qianbei Ye was startled for a moment and asked, puzzled, “What’s going on?”

“Xiao Ye,” Gu Ruoyun suppressed the conflict in her heart and smiled, “I’m now pregnant with our child so I’m afraid that you might get too exicited and hurt the baby.”

This explanation was rather rational and Qianbei Ye did not think too much of it either. He smiled and that smile was just as beautiful and moving as ever.

“Alright, I’ll try my best not to touch you during this time to prevent accidentally hurting the child. This baby is our first child and I’ll protect it from harm.” Qianbei Ye smiled and said. “Come, let’s keep going, I wonder if Zuo Shangchen is here as well.”

As he spoke, the man slowly turned around and ventured ahead into an unknown path.
