Death... and me

"A baby?!" That news impressed Rean's group more than any possible mortal issue. 

Rean nodded as he said, "Uh-huh, a baby. To be honest, I didn't expect Malaka to be the first one in our group to ever have a descendant." Rean then looked at Agis before continuing, "I have to admit, you must love her very much to not be careful over something like this."

Roan shook his head in disappointment, muttering, "I don't know if you two were idiots or just plain ignorant. How can you put a kid inside Malaka's belly in the middle of a war? Sigh...I don't know if I should blame Agis for not pulling his dick out when he came or Malaka, who let him do that inside her vagina." Sure enough, Roan never cared about sensitive topics, so he talked about them without giving a damn.

An extremely rare sight had appeared after Roan's words. Malaka looked really...embarrassed. She was so red that a tomato would feel jealous. "We...lost ourselves a little bit."

Agis knew that he couldn't escape blame either, saying, "No, that's my fault. I should have controlled myself."

"Too bad it felt too good, right?" Rean asked with a smile.

Neither Malaka nor Agis could deny his words.

However, it was then that Calina thought about something else. "Wait! Do you remember that Roan prevented Qia and me from getting pregnant even after the deed was done? As we all know, this isn't the best time for such a thing to happen. Can't Roan do the same thing with her?"

Rean immediately shook his head as he explained, "Your cases were different. The spermatozoids...errr... you won't understand if I use that name. What I meant by that was the white stuff that comes out of our penises when we reach climax. Those things have the lifeforms that will fertilize the women's eggs. What Roan did back then was kill the lifeforms inside the white stuff before they reached the eggs. As long as the spermatozoids don't fertilize the egg, a human won't start to form."

Rean then looked at Malaka's belly before continuing, "However, Agis and Malaka's egg and spermatozoids have already reached each other. You couldn't feel it with Spiritual Sense because of Malaka's Spiritual Energy. The new baby is too small to be felt with it at the moment. After all, the dantian is almost glued to the womb. However, I could clearly sense the life force inside the baby in Malaka's belly. Roan and I can destroy it, but would you be fine with that?"

Roan gave the option, though. "That would be very easy. Also, it has just been a few weeks, so it hasn't developed enough to feel anything at all. In my opinion, it can't be considered a baby at all. Nevertheless, the decision is ultimately up to you."

Agis and Malaka looked at each other. However, Agis sighed in the end before saying, "I won't express my opinion."

"Why? Do you want me to decide on it alone?" Malaka was truly expecting his words now more than ever.

Still, Agis shook his head, telling her, "I don't want to influence your decision. In the end, that's your body. If you want to give birth to this baby, I will obviously take care of it with everything I have. However, if you think we shouldn't have a baby now, I will give you my full support. We can try another time anyway. We're cultivators, so our lifespan is really, really long. A woman should be responsible for what happens inside her body, not the man."

Roan and Rean couldn't help but be satisfied with Agis' words. "Very good. It seems like you know your place."

Calina and Qia looked at each other and ultimately agreed with Agis. If she decided to have the baby because of Agis's influence and regretted it later, it would be too late. It was a different case to what happened with Calina. Even so, Roan still explained everything to Calina and got her permission to kill his own spermatozoids before they reached her egg.

Malaka understood that Agis was being serious before she took a deep breath, asking her once more, "You truly won't blame me or leave me regardless of my decision, right?"

Agis nodded with a serious expression. It was impossible to tell which option he wished her to have. That showed his resolve in accepting her choice.

Eventually, Malaka nodded as she touched her own belly. "Then... I want to have it."

Roan's eyebrow raised for a moment, showing that he was a little surprised. In Roan's case, that was really a big deal. "That's unexpected. Considering how you don't like taking on responsibilities, I was sure you would ask me to take it out of you."

Rean, Calina, Qia, and even Agis had to agree with Roan. "We thought of the same thing."

However, Malaka smiled as she shook her head, saying, "After my parents died in Sunkan Planet, I just felt like I could continue their lineage. Do you think this is a bad reason?"

Roan was the first one to shook his head, responding, "Whatever the reason is, that's something you decided by yourself." His expression turned dark right after. "However! It doesn't change the fact that the two of you did something extremely idiotic, so you two better be prepared for the punishment. Don't worry, I'll make sure the baby won't suffer anything...only the baby, though. Hehe! Hahahahaha!"

Malaka and Agis instantly felt chills behind their backs when they heard that. Somehow, they knew that Roan would be many times worse than he had ever been before. Nevertheless, Malaka forced out a smile as she looked at Agis and asked, "Are you fine with it?"

Agis, who was still somewhat affected by Roan's last words, nodded. "O-Of course. I just don't know if we'll be alive when Roan finishes whatever he has prepared for us."

Roan said that the baby wouldn't suffer, but he might very well find a way to get those two half-killed in the process as well.

Calina and Qia couldn't help but hug Malaka after that. "In any case, congratulations."

With that, Malaka showed her bright smile once again as she said, "Thank you."
