Chapter 1563: Does It Want to Be a Monk or a Nun

Feng Fuce smiled, “Okay, then I’ll have them set the meal on the Netherworld River, so we can enjoy the meal while sailing. It’ll help lighten your mood.”

Bai Zhi’er nodded gently.

Zhu Yan watched the two of them, unable to resist a light cough.

“Um… Lord Demon, Your Majesty the Demon Queen, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave. Otherwise, being here without a wife or children is a bit upsetting.”

Bai Zhi’er sweetly smiled, “Go ahead.”

Zhu Yan cupped his hands, turned around, and left.

After he left, Bai Zhi’er said, “Recently, I heard from the grass spirit that there’s a demon who wants to introduce a wife to Zhu Yan. She’s from a prestigious family in the Demon World and is a renowned beauty. Why does Zhu Yan refuse?”

Feng Fuce was holding her hand, asking her to help him approve some spiritual texts.

Upon hearing this, his eyes gleamed playfully, smiling in jest.

“He couldn’t accept her. Before cultivation, she was a male butterfly. But after cultivating intelligence, she became a woman. Although she’s lovely, Zhu Yan said he always felt uneasy about it, so I didn’t force him.”

Bai Zhi’er was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

“There really is such a thing?”

She had only heard that some foxes and snake spirits were genderless before cultivation and could freely choose to be male or female afterward.

Didn’t expect butterflies to be the same.

Surely, a butterfly in graceful dance transforming into a woman must be quite beautiful.

Feng Fuce suddenly sighed.

Bai Zhi’er quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”

Feng Fuce stared at her intently, “Cover your belly, I fear the little one might eavesdrop.”

Bai Zhi’er giggled, “How can you cover it? It’s already so clever. Whatever you want to say, just say it.”

Feng Fuce said, “Seeing the butterfly change from male to female after cultivation got me thinking. Could our child also freely choose its gender? Maybe it’s not showing because it hasn’t decided yet.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhi’er’s belly suddenly bulged.

The little one was protesting!

Bai Zhi’er quickly pacified it with soothing pats.

“Brother Ce! How can you think that? It’s not that the child won’t show itself, it’s because it was busy earlier. I came to find you to call the two elders over, it’s ready to be seen now. It agrees!”

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow, “It agreed yesterday too, but when the elders arrived, it wanted to get all hands-on?”

This temper sure resembles himself when he was young.

Sometimes being fickle, all depending on the mood at the time.

Bai Zhi’er protected her belly and said, “That’s because at that time, our child was cutting the emotional thread, it wasn’t done yet, so naturally it didn’t want anyone near.”

“Cutting the emotional thread?” Feng Fuce frowned, his voice cold, “Does it want to become a monk or a nun?”

With parents so in love, how could the child choose to sever love and feelings while still in the belly?

Did he not set the right example?

Bai Zhi’er looked tenderly, her eyes glistening, “It’s a good thing for the child to have opinions. Let it decide for itself. Love or not, sometimes emotional threads can’t dictate it.”

Feng Fuce nodded.

Soon, the two elders arrived.

This time they were almost fully armored, with Extreme Iron Shields on their hands, a “turtle shell” of unknown material on their backs, and helmets on their heads.

The two cautiously approached, stopping ten steps away from Bai Zhi’er.

Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce: …

The couple almost simultaneously let out soft laughter.

Bai Zhi’er said, “Elders, there’s really no need for that. We have already communicated with the child, it definitely won’t act up this time.”
