Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head in surprise. Yan Kuan had really woken up.
She looked at him blankly, her eyes filled with tears.
Was this a dream? Had he really woken up?
His eyes were still dark, shiny, and inexplicable. The bruise on the bottom of his eyes looked so pleasing to the eye at that moment.
It was not a dream. It was really not a dream. He had really woken up.
“You, you, are you really awake?”
Shen Xiaoxiao seemed to be in disbelief as she reached out and pinched his arm.
“You really want to murder your husband.”
Yan Kuan looked at this person who did not pinch herself but pinched him instead. Her eyes were red like a rabbit’s as she looked at him pitifully.
His heart softened like a pool of spring water, soft and endless…
“It hurts!” Yan Kuan cooperated with her and cried out in pain.
“It hurts? Does it really hurt? That’s good, that’s true. Damn man, you actually just woke up now. Why didn’t you sleep all the way? Why didn’t you sleep to death?”
He reached out his hand and gently wiped the corner of her eyes. Those boiling hot tears melted into his palm, making his heart ache inexplicably.
“Why are you crying, silly? I’m not dead yet!”
“It’s great that you’re awake, it’s great!”
Shen Xiaoxiao pounced on him excitedly and hugged him tightly without moving.
Yan Kuan smiled and pretended to cough twice.
“Be good. If you don’t let go, I’ll really be strangled to death by you. I’m here for everything!”
“You don’t know how scared I am. They said that they want to make you into a death warrior, and they also want to make me into a mummy. Oh right, and our… Yan Kuan, you’re going to be a father!”
After reporting this news, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan without moving, trying to see some subtle changes in his expression.
Shen Xiaoxiao had imagined many times how Yan Kuan would feel if he knew that he was going to be a father? Would he like it or hate it to the extreme?
After Yan Kuan disappeared, Shen Xiaoxiao was also annoyed that he did not go missing a day later. At least he would know that he had a child.
Therefore, the first thing Shen Xiaoxiao did after Yan Kuan woke up was to tell him this news.
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s cautious look and smiled as he reached out his hand and gently touched her abdomen. He said, “I know, I know that you have a child. Every day, I can feel his heartbeat. Every day, you whisper in my ear. I know that you have worked hard. This is the best gift you have given me. I like it very much.”
Shen Xiaoxiao finally broke into a smile. She happily held his hand and touched her belly. This feeling was really good. The three of them could finally be considered a real family reunion!
However, the current situation was not optimistic. Thinking back to the news from the mysterious secret signal last night, there would be a battle of the century tonight.
Before Yan Kuan woke up, Shen Xiaoxiao had thought that they might die here tonight. But now that Yan Kuan had woken up, all they had to do was think of ways to escape from here.
And her gaze naturally fell on the hollow stone slab.
“Can your limbs move? Are you uncomfortable? After lying down for so long, will your muscles atrophy or something? Do you want to get out of bed and move around or something?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Yan Kuan nervously. After lying down for so many months, his limbs were somewhat stiff. If they could not walk normally, then it would be difficult for them to escape.
Yan Kuan looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s anxious and worried look and comforted her with a smile. “You pinch me so hard every day. It’s already good that my limbs haven’t been broken. How can they still be stiff? Little thing, I’m afraid you don’t know how strong your hand is!”
Shen Xiaoxiao was a little stunned. Was her hand strength very strong?! She did not feel it?!
“Is it very strong? Why don’t I feel it?”
“How can a boxer’s hand strength be weak? You really treat your husband as your opponent in a boxing match!”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard the words ‘husband’, her face turned red and she said in a slightly angry tone, “Shameless! Who’s your wife?”
“Eh, I didn’t say that you’re my wife. I only said that I’m your husband!”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this person who had been teasing her the moment he woke up and was gnashing her teeth in hatred.
Yan Kuan could not provoke her now.
He smiled and said, “From the moment you wore the Obsidian Star, you were already destined to be my woman for the rest of your life. Now that you’re even pregnant with a cub, don’t you want to admit it?”
Shen Xiaoxiao felt especially speechless when she heard the word ‘cub’. Did this Yan Kuan not know how to speak? If he said that his child was a cub, then what was he?
How could Yan Kuan not know what Shen Xiaoxiao was thinking? He slightly moved his arm and looked at the iron gate not far away. He said to Shen Xiaoxiao in a low voice, “Help your husband up and walk around. His entire body has been stiff for the past few months. We can only have fun tonight after the activity starts.”
Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped him up and watched him slowly walk down the ground. His limbs went from stiff to gradually flexible. He seemed to be no different from a tiger. Shen Xiaoxiao began to be very curious. What exactly was it that supported Yan Kuan to continue living like this? He didn’t eat much every day!
“Are you really alright? But you’ve been lying there for months without eating anything. Where did you get the strength?”
After a set of fist techniques, Yan Kuan quietly walked back to the bed and lay down in peace. Then, he slowly said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “The Ouyang family has been around for a thousand years. It’s easy for them to maintain my vital signs. In the beginning, you didn’t see it. You don’t know how much liquid they injected into me. Later on, You little thing fed me three meals a day. I was still hungry.”
These words sounded easy, but Shen Xiaoxiao felt that these words were a little strange. What exactly was injected into a person that could allow him to lie there for months without eating or drinking, and not lose any of his physical strength?
However, seeing that Yan Kuan did not look bad at all, Shen Xiaoxiao stopped herself from saying those words.
It was better for her to have a good check-up when they went back. Otherwise, she would feel that the Ouyang family was full of oddities. If they injected some amazing things into Yan Kuan, such as drugs that turned people into death warriors, what should she do?
“What should we do next? Oh right, do you know the situation outside? Let me tell you…”
“I know. I’ve been lying here for more than half a month, and you’ve been nagging me every day. What else don’t you know?”
“Then have you always been aware? Do you always know what I’m telling you? Then do you know that your Dark 1 betrayed you? Now that he’s become the Ouyang family’s guard commander, it won’t be so easy for us to escape!”
Yan Kuan looked at Young Madam Shen with a somewhat amused look. With such a righteous and indignant look, he said with a laugh, “Dark 1 is originally a member of the Ouyang family. There is no such thing as betrayal. Being the Ouyang family’s guard commander is just returning to his post. There is no need to be surprised!”
“What?”
