"Really? Let me touch it, let me listen to it." Overjoyed, Duan Yufan immediately squatted down in front of Bibi Dong again, just like before, and put his ear and hand on her.

Just like with Hu Liena, Duan Yufan once again felt a strange yet familiar atmosphere. He then pressed his ear against Hu Liena's stomach, repeating this back and forth, until Duan Yufan's mouth was splitting open with a smile.

"Oh my, today is truly the best thing that has ever happened to me. Two surprises in one day!" Duan Yufan didn't know how to react to the current situation; his mind was just buzzing.

"It's bad news that I have to name two children all at once, but it's the best bad news I've ever heard. It's double happiness! I have to celebrate!" Duan Yufan immediately hugged Bibi Dong and Hu Liena on either side and said somewhat incoherently.

"Sister, congratulations! You're pregnant! What a coincidence!" Hu Liena immediately took Bibi Dong's hand and said sincerely.

"Haha, Nana, congratulations to you too, what a coincidence!" Bibi Dong said to Hu Liena.

"Mmm." Hu Liena nodded.

"Let's go, let's celebrate. It's getting late, don't let the two little ones get hungry. I'll show off my skills." Duan Yufan immediately led the two to the cafeteria. The immense joy had long since overshadowed matters of good and evil, and he had long forgotten about the seventh exam. Now, Duan Yufan's eyes were only on Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.

"Come, Dong'er, Nana, sit down. I'll cook something to celebrate for you." Duan Yufan pulled the two of them to sit on stools without saying a word and went into the kitchen to get busy.

The two women watched Duan Yufan bustling around for them with happy expressions, their faces beaming with maternal smiles the whole time.

"Nana, let me touch your belly," Bibi Dong said, placing her hand on Hu Liena's stomach.

“Sister, I want to touch your belly too.” Hu Liena then placed her hand on Bibi Dong’s belly as well.

"Nana, we're not going to have babies on the same day, are we? Xiao Fan will be so busy."

"Sister, he deserves it. Who told him to give us a little life at the same time?"

"Haha, yeah, he's keeping himself incredibly busy."

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena sat and chatted while watching the busy Duan Yufan.

Duan Yufan was busy in the kitchen, but his smile never stopped. He worked until the end, and even though he was a Title Douluo, his face started to ache a little, but he didn't care at all.

"Here it is, all ready. Seven dishes and a soup, three meat dishes and four vegetable dishes, all very nourishing, plus black chicken soup." He introduced the dishes as he looked at the table.

"It smells so good! I didn't know, Xiao Fan, you had a secret weapon up your sleeve." Bibi Dong said with some surprise.

"Haha, you've regressed. It's been a long time since I've made this. Come on, eat quickly." Duan Yufan said to Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, and moved chairs over to serve them.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. You must have learned it from Nana."

"Sister, you flatter me. I didn't do as well as Xiao Fan."

"Haha, it's all about talent. A little bit of food is nothing to me."

"Here, have a taste. It's specially made for the two of you."

Amidst warmth and laughter, the three ate for a long time, until the sky grew dark.

Back in the courtyard, the three of them watched the night pass and discussed the child's name.

Chapter 226 A Rarely Leisurely and Cozy Day

The next day, Duan Yufan, with a big smile on his face, strolled around the Spirit Hall with Hu Liena, who looked happy and sweet.

"Greetings, Your Highnesses, Holy Son and Holy Daughter."

"Hello everyone, don't overwork yourselves. Take a break when you need to."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The patrolling soldiers greeted Duan Yufan and Hu Liena, and Duan Yufan responded with a smile.

"Your Highnesses, Holy Son and Holy Daughter, things are a little different today, you know that?"

"Oh dear, how would I know? But the two Highnesses, the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son, seem to be very happy."

"Haha, as long as the Holy Son and Holy Daughter are happy, we'll just do our duty."

The patrolling soldiers on duty, seeing Duan Yufan and Hu Liena's faces full of joy, discussed among themselves with some confusion.

"Nana, Spirit City is now thriving and prosperous. Our child will surely grow up in an era free from disasters and hardships. This peace is hard-won." Stepping out of the Spirit Hall gate and looking at the bustling crowds in Spirit Square, Duan Yufan couldn't help but feel emotional and gratified.

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena naturally paid no attention to the whispers of the patrolling soldiers.

"Yes, thanks to your and Teacher's excellent leadership, the people of Wuhun City are all beaming with smiles." Hu Liena nodded, not forgetting to praise Bibi Dong's governance abilities.

"Nana, the weather is nice today. The sunlight is gentle, and there are mostly white clouds. I've been busy with the Holy Spirit Church for over a month and haven't had a proper stroll. Let's go for a walk together." Duan Yufan looked up and saw that the sunlight wasn't very strong today.

“Xiao Fan, I was thinking the same thing. It’s rare to have some free time. There have been a lot of fun things added to Wuhun City in the past few months.” Since it was a rare opportunity to have some free time and to stroll around with Duan Yu Fan, Hu Liena naturally had no objections.

Because of the Holy Spirit Cult, a large number of people from the Star Luo Empire poured into Wuhun City, causing its population to surge. They also brought some strange and unique things from the local area to Wuhun City.

"Your Highnesses, Holy Son and Holy Daughter, you both seem to be in a very good mood today."

Before Duan Yufan and Hu Liena could take two steps, Chrysanthemum Douluo appeared in front of them. Seeing Duan Yufan's cheerful appearance, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Elder Ju, guess what?" Duan Yufan smiled mysteriously and led Hu Liena away first.

"Huh! Why do they seem so happy today?" Chrysanthemum Douluo said, looking puzzled as the two left.

He then turned and walked into the Spirit Hall, arriving at the Pope's Palace.

"Reporting to the Pope, news has come from Gengjin City that the Soul Guidance Research Institute has been completed. The soul tools and data obtained from the Holy Spirit Cult have been handed over to them for research. It is unknown how long it will take to manufacture a soul-guided cannon or a similar weapon, or a soul tool that is more suitable for daily life than the current one." Chrysanthemum Douluo immediately paid his respects to Bibi Dong and then reported.

"Alright, the manufacturing of hidden weapons can be put on hold. We have enough for now, so there's no need to waste more ore on them. Use the remaining ore to research soul tools. Don't be afraid of wasting ore; as long as there are results to show, it's not a waste," Bibi Dong calmly instructed Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I will keep a close eye on the situation and progress in Gengjin City, and I will report to Your Holiness immediately if there are any developments."

"Alas! It's a pity. Although the Holy Spirit Cult is composed of evil soul masters, the evil soul masters from the Sun Moon Continent all preferred death to surrender and committed suicide. We can only use the broken soul tools for research, which is indeed quite difficult and an obstacle," Chrysanthemum Douluo said with some helplessness.

“Don’t rush. Our Spirit Hall has been developing for many years and has seen all kinds of difficulties. If it doesn’t work in one year, then two, five, or ten years. One day, we will achieve substantial results. Alright, you can hand over the funding to Elder Ning.” Bibi Dong said firmly.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I will hand over the matter to Elder Ning. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is truly excellent for treasure hunting and appraisal. It was indeed a wise move to have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School join the Martial Soul, which has greatly increased the Martial Soul Hall's economy."

"Then I'll take my leave." After saying this, Chrysanthemum Douluo cupped his hands in greeting to Bibi Dong and walked out of the Papal Palace to attend to other matters.

"Hmm." After Chrysanthemum Douluo left the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, making a vomiting motion.

“Here we go again.” Bibi Dong smiled and then patted her belly.

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena had arrived at a bustling street, where people were coming and going and the noise was deafening.

People sat laughing and chatting, children ran around happily playing, and occasionally there were people standing and arguing, but no one actually fought. The whole street showed all aspects of life.

"Greetings, Holy Son and Holy Daughter."

People who knew Duan Yufan and Hu Liena greeted them softly, and Duan Yufan and Hu Liena responded in kind.

"Nana, it's so lively! But isn't it too noisy and might disturb you? Why don't we go somewhere quieter?"

Duan Yufan and Hu Liena walked down the street, with Hu Liena naturally linking her arm with Duan Yufan's as they strolled side by side.

"No need. The courtyard has been quiet for a long time, and this kind of atmosphere brings a different feeling," Hu Liena said, seemingly unconcerned.

"Well."

The two strolled leisurely through one street after another, and before they knew it, several hours had passed. As noon approached, they arrived at the western district of the Spirit Hall, far from the main city.

"Nana, are you tired? Why don't we find a place to rest?" Duan Yufan said to Hu Liena with concern.

"I didn't expect to end up in the XC area like this. Let's rest for a while and have something to eat," Hu Liena nodded.

“XC District, huh? Now that we’re here, I know where we’re going. Follow me.” Duan Yufan said to Hu Liena, as if he had just thought of something.

Afterwards, Duan Yufan led Hu Liena through several alleys and arrived at a residential area. Compared to the bustling streets, this place was very quiet.

"Hmm! Where is this?" Hu Liena asked, puzzled.

"Come with me, we'll be there soon. It should be up ahead. It's been a long time since I've been here, it's almost changed." Duan Yufan kept her in suspense, holding Hu Liena's hand as they walked down a straight alley.

"This is it, I still remember it very well." Amid Hu Liena's confusion, Duan Yufan stopped in front of a house.

"Uncle Mo, Aunt He, are you there?" Duan Yufan knocked on the door twice and called out.

That's right, this is the first stop when Duan Yufan came to Douluo Continent. He stayed here for more than half a month, which is about four years since he last came here, after spending two years in the Love Mystic Realm.

"Who is it? They're here."

A moment later, a male voice came from inside the room. Duan Yufan didn't recognize it as Mo Lin's voice; it sounded younger. With a few footsteps, the door creaked open, and the person appeared to be around twenty-five years old.

"You are, His Highness the Holy Son! And the Holy Maiden." The man recognized Duan Yufan and Hu Liena after looking at them for a while.

"Are you Uncle Mo's son, Mo Sen, Brother Sen?" Duan Yufan looked at the somewhat familiar man in front of him and immediately asked. During the half month he stayed at Mo Lin's house, Duan Yufan had briefly met Uncle Mo's son, Mo Sen, twice when he was a child.

"Your Highness the Holy Son and Your Highness the Holy Maiden," Mo Sen said, bowing to Duan Yufan and Hu Liena after confirming their identities.

"No, no, Brother Sen, I came out alone with Nana, don't be shy. I haven't seen Aunt He and Uncle Mo for a long time. Nana and I were shopping and ended up here without realizing it. We're not busy right now, so we came over to sit for a while." Duan Yufan immediately helped Mo Sen up.

"Sen'er, who's here?" A strong, clear female voice came from the side room, which was still the same as the kitchen.

"Mom, it's the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Xiao Fan. Look at me, Holy Son, Holy Daughter, come in and sit down." Mo Sen immediately slapped his forehead, gesturing for Duan Yu Fan and Hu Liena to enter the courtyard.

"Okay." Duan Yufan led Hu Liena into Mo Sen's courtyard and immediately saw Aunt He standing at the kitchen door.

"The woman greets His Highness the Holy Son and His Highness the Holy Daughter."

"No, no, Aunt He, you're making me feel bad." Duan Yufan immediately came to Aunt He's side and stopped her from doing anything further.

"Hu Liena greets Aunt He. Hello, Aunt He." Hu Liena also came to Duan Yufan's side and bowed.

"Alright, please sit in the guest room first. Dinner is almost ready, let's have a meal together. I'll add two more dishes," Aunt He said with a smile.

"Aunt He, look at me, I've troubled you again. I really feel bad. Aunt He, how have you been these past few years?" Duan Yufan said with a smile.

"Aunt He is very kind. Besides, what's so troublesome about cooking two dishes? It just takes a few more minutes."

"Aunt He, how about I help you?"

"No need, you can have it made at the customer service for a while."

“Holy Son, let’s go inside and sit down,” Mosen said.

Duan Yufan stopped insisting and followed Mo Sen to the guest room.

"Brother Sen, is Uncle Mo not here?" Duan Yufan asked casually when he didn't see Mo Lin.

"I'm at the branch office, but it's almost lunchtime, so I should be back soon."

"Why did the Holy Son suddenly come here?" Mo Sen also started chatting with Duan Yufan.

“You know about the Holy Spirit Cult. It’s been over two months, and I’ve finally had some free time, so I came out for a walk. Uncle Mo, how have you been these past few years? You see, I haven’t been here in ages,” Duan Yufan replied, then asked a question.

"My father is in excellent health and has long been the Hall Master of the West Hall of the Spirit Hall. This is all thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Technique bestowed upon him by His Holiness the Pope, which allowed my father to break through to the Soul Saint level."
