Chapter 311 - 271: The Lynn Family
"Hey, is Xiya Mom pregnant with a baby?"
"Does that mean we’re going to have little brothers and sisters?"
On the way back, Lynn held hands with his obedient daughter, followed by his three wives, carrying two cats on his shoulders, and casually mentioned the pregnancies of Xiya and Hilvy.
Except for Helena, none of them knew Xiya well, so when they heard the news, they were somewhat envious but didn’t have much of a reaction.
Helena was more shocked; she could imagine how Lynn easily took a liking to the renowned Elf Queen, but she didn’t expect things would progress so quickly, becoming pregnant on the second day after meeting. What’s this speed?
"That’s wonderful, Xiya’s having a baby, so she won’t be lonely anymore in the future."
As Xiya’s best friend, Catherine was genuinely happy for her. After all, she found herself such a flirtatious man; if she lost favor in the future, life might not be easy. But now with a baby, it’s different; at least she has something to fall back on. Even if she doesn’t have a man by her side in the future, she’ll have the company of her child.
"When will Catherine Mom have one too? Little Youli can’t wait to hug her little sister."
Walking on Lynn’s left, Little Yuri shook her small hand, turned around to look at Catherine. She was truly looking forward to the arrival of little brothers and sisters. Having lived with Xiya Mom for so long, she’d learned that elves take three years to give birth, so if she wanted to hold a baby soon, she’d have to rely on human race moms.
Vivian Mom was the most obedient, but she’s the youngest and still somewhat childish, so having a baby right away didn’t seem suitable. While Helena Mom was age-appropriate and mature, her babies would be Crown Princes or Crown Princesses, destined to be raised in the Imperial Palace. She might not get to hold them much.
So all things considered, Catherine Mom having one would be the best choice. She was older than Vivian Mom and Helena Mom; she could feed the baby well.
"I’m already your godmother, how could I possibly have a baby with your dad?"
If Lynn had asked this cheekily, Catherine would certainly roll her eyes at him. But since adorable Little Youli asked, she could only explain gently.
"Xiya Mom and Hilvy Mom, whom You haven’t met, are both elves. Their babies won’t be born until three years later. Little Youli wants to hold a baby next year; can Catherine Mom help Little Youli?"
Seeing stubborn Catherine Mom remaining unchanged, Little Youli threw herself into Catherine Mom’s arms, acting cute. Although she loved Xiya Mom very much, three years was indeed too long. How could a little child endure that?
"How can I help with these things? There are still your two real moms around."
Being tightly hugged by Little Youli, Catherine was full of helplessness. If she could accept being with Lynn, she would have done so long ago, just for gratitude. Moreover, aside from gratitude, Lynn had nothing to criticize; his only flaw was being a bit greedy. But that wasn’t a major problem.
The real issue was that she was indifferent to men. Without this peculiar flaw, she might have already been conquered by Lynn.
"But... but Little Youli wants lots of little babies, and there aren’t enough moms..."
Little Youli looked up in Catherine’s arms, her little face flushed with a hopeful expression, making it hard to refuse her request.
"That’s right, Catherine Mom is most suitable for having babies, she can feed them full at both sides."
At this moment, Little Yuna from the front turned around to back up her good sister. She was actually also eagerly anticipating the birth of little babies. It’s just Little Youli moved faster and had the same target; otherwise, she might have jumped over too.
"Alright, alright, stop teasing your Catherine Mom. Anyway, we have plenty of time; having babies a few years later won’t matter."
Lynn said, shaking Little Yuna’s small hand, signaling her not to jump forward, as for Little Youli who had already jumped, let her be. After all, Catherine’s embrace was surely warmer than his, it wouldn’t let the child feel cold.
"Uh... Xiya Sister is already pregnant, should we also line up? But aren’t we... aren’t we not married yet?"
Vivian had been obediently following, but seeing Little Youli and Little Yuna wanting brothers and sisters so badly, she felt perhaps she could contribute too.
However, having babies before marriage wasn’t much of a problem, as many nobles did so. But having babies without being married was rare, even for the most audacious of nobles.
Because this relates to whether a child is considered illegitimate, especially in large families, the status of legitimate children is much higher than illegitimate ones, almost the difference between a master and a servant. Vivian was willing to have a baby with Lynn, but she didn’t want her child to be born before marriage.
"As for marriage... it’s already being considered, but can’t be disclosed yet. It won’t be far off though."
If Lynn were still on Blue Star, he wouldn’t dare to marry easily because of reading too many related news. Anyone normal would fear marriage, after all it was an era where even an Immortal Emperor had to lose half his cultivation on divorce. How could anyone not be daunted?
But in the Miracle World, as long as the gods don’t come down to earth, he is the supreme strong one, under the Saint Emperor’s Sword, the goblins and ghosts wouldn’t dare to make noise.
