She was a great mother.

Yu Wan looked at Zhou Jin’s expression and confirmed that he was not forcing himself. She was slightly relieved. She gently pulled him into her arms. “Of course she dotes on you. You’re the person she dotes on the most. If she knew in the netherworld, she would definitely be happy to have such an outstanding son like you.”

“Sister Wan, do you really think so?” Zhou Jin looked at Yu Wan steadily.

Yu Wan said seriously, “Of course. Do you think Sister Wan will lie to you? Or do you think you’re not good enough?”

Zhou Jin shook his head and his gaze landed on Yu Wan’s bulging stomach. “Is it alright?”

“It’s fine. It only avoided a disaster thanks to you.” That night was really dangerous. Zhou Jin had risked his life to protect all of them. He was clearly still a child, but he had the maturity and courage that far exceeded his age. Yu Wan liked it when he was her ally, but her heart ached when they were friends.

“Can I… touch it?” Zhou Jin asked hesitantly.

Yu Wan smiled and nodded. She pulled his little hand and placed it on her stomach.

Her stomach, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly moved the moment Zhou Jin’s hand touched it. It did not only move, but a series of kicks made Zhou Jin’s palm itchy. Zhou Jin’s eyes widened.

Suddenly, Zhou Jin seemed to feel a little head rubbing against his palm through the stomach.

Zhou Jin blinked, and something in his heart melted.

After Grandma and Old Cui woke up, Yu Wan and Shadow Thirteen went to his room to discuss whether to stay or leave.

Yu Wan was already more than seven months pregnant, so it was not suitable for her to be tired from the journey. They wondered if they should wait for the child to be born before leaving.

“We can’t wait,” Old Cui said.

“Why?” Shadow Six asked.

Old Cui said, “Ah Wan still has nearly two months before she gives birth, and Yan Jiuchao only has these few days left. Now, we still lack the last medicinal primer from the Sorcerer King. I’m not worried that the Sorcerer King will go back on his word with this medicinal primer. The four medicinal primers are collected, but we still need herbs. Some herbs only grow in the Great Zhou and need to be collected for fresh use. Therefore, we better return to the Great Zhou before his poison acts up.”

“Yes.” Grandma agreed. After the children were born, they could not leave during the confinement period. It was not easy to leave after the confinement period. At that time, it was just in time for winter, so it was really tiring to let a baby in swaddling travel. Even if they were not afraid of tiring, they were afraid of delaying Yan Jiuchao’s illness.

Yu Wan hurriedly said, “I can travel. It’s fine.”

She Imew her body very well. Her pregnancy was extremely stable, and she had the bloodline of the Saintess protecting her. It was not a problem for her to travel through mountains and rivers.

The only thing she could not part with was Chef Bao.

Grandpa Bao didn’t have many days left. If possible, she hoped to accompany him on his last journey, but the situation didn’t allow it now, so she had no choice but to bid farewell to Grandpa Bao.

Yu Wan went to Grandpa Bao’s room.

Jiang Jingnian went to pick up his wife and children. Chef Bao was the only one in the room. Yu Wan had prepared a wheelchair for him because she was worried that he would fall. He was writing in the wheelchair.

“Grandpa Bao, what are you writing?” Yu Wan walked over and asked.

Chef Bao said in high spirits, “I’m writing a recipe book. This time, I’m really leaving a recipe book.”

Yu Wan smiled slightly. “I’ll help you grind the ink.”

Chef Bao said, “No need. Hurry up and pack your things before you set off.”

Yu Wan’s hand that was reaching for the inkstone paused. Her eyelashes trembled as she looked at Chef Bao and said, “Grandpa Bao knows?”

Chef Bao smiled. “What’s so difficult to guess? Isn’t Jiuchao waiting to detoxify the poison? You’re about to give birth. If you keep accompanying me here, are you going to give birth to children in the Sorcerer Clan? How are you going to leave after giving birth? Do you think that the little one is as tough as her three brothers?”

Newly born children were extremely fragile. How could they be like three little black eggs coming and going in the rain? Besides, even if they were three little black eggs, they would be very weak before they were two years old.

Yu Wan held Chef Bao’s arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. “But I can’t bear to part with you…”

Chef Bao stroked her head lovingly. “You can come and see me when the children grow up. Why? Are you worried that I won’t live for that long?”

Yu Wan sat up and looked at Chef Bao solemnly. “How can that be? You’ll live a long life!”

Chef Bao laughed until he choked and coughed violently. Yu Wan quickly poured a cup of hot water for him and 100ked at him with heartache..
