"What exactly is going on?"
"How could Teacher come back hand-in-hand with Bibi Dong?!"
"How is Bibi Dong pregnant? Whose child is it?!"
"It can't be Teacher's, it definitely isn't Teacher's, this must be fake!"
"I understand, I get it now. Bibi Dong just lived too lavishly and decadently in Spirit Hall these past few months, and she got the Peach blossom Teacher Token from Teacher, so she got happy and carried away, and she just got fat!"
"Right, she just got fat! A big belly doesn't necessarily mean there's a baby, right?"
At Peach Garden Academy, in front of the lecture hall, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Meng Yiran, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yueer, Xue Wu, Yao Zi, Hu Liena, Zhu Zhuyun, and others were all in an uproar, discussing intensely, one after another.
Even Xue Ke, the young princess of the Heaven Dou Empire who was temporarily auditing at Red Maple Lecture Hall, and the Royal Grand Musician Tang Yuehua, as well as the sweeping aunt—Liu Erlong, were drawn over by the matter.
Upon hearing that the Supreme Pontiff was pregnant, they all looked shocked, hardly daring to believe it.
Shui Yueer and Ning Rongrong even found a reasonable excuse for Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong's big belly: she had simply gained weight.
Inside the lecture hall, hearing the noisy chatter of the students outside, Bibi Dong leisurely sipped the nourishing tea that Teacher Su had personally prepared for her pregnancy.
Beneath her loose purple dress, although she had a round, large belly, there were no stretch marks like those of ordinary women, looking instead like a pristine piece of white jade:
"Teacher Su, I told you, if you brought me back, these girls would definitely be in an uproar. When they start making a fuss, I'm afraid Teacher Su will have a headache."
"Being honest and having valid reasons, what is there to fear?"
Su Ran, on the other hand, felt no psychological pressure, instead comforting Bibi Dong and saying:
"You rest here first. I'll go appease these students, then come back to scold you."
"This is Soul Nourishing Grass, this is Spirit Warming Flower, this is Sour Fruit."
Su Ran took out flower and fruit tea from the academy's inventory that was beneficial for Bibi Dong's pregnancy.
Then he walked out of the lecture hall.
As soon Ran appeared, the students, led by Core Disciples like Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, swarmed forward, their voices merging into a buzzing sound that made Su Ran's head spin.
A gentle Peach blossom breeze blew, scattering the voices of the Disciples:
"Everyone, quiet down. Teacher knows you all have many questions now. Teacher will confess and answer them one by one, but please don't be noisy."
Su Ran said gently.
At this point, the Disciples slowly quieted down. Senior Sister Ning Rongrong, on behalf of the other Disciples, raised the question:
"Teacher, where did you go last night when you suddenly left the academy? What did you do? Why did you come back hand-in-hand with that woman, Bibi Dong? And what's going on with Bibi Dong's belly?!"
After Ning Rongrong finished asking, all the other Disciples nodded nervously, waiting for Teacher's response.
Senior Sister Rongrong asked the question everyone wanted to ask!
"Regarding where Teacher went last night and why I came back with Teacher Dong, there is a cause and effect relationship here. Last night, Teacher went to Spirit City to save Teacher Dong."
After Teacher Su said this, the students breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:
"Thank goodness, Teacher went to save someone!"
"It must be that Teacher Dong was fickle and found a lover after returning to Spirit Hall. To be precise, Teacher Dong must have left for an outside man in the first place, and it's normal to be pregnant after a few months. Phew, as long as it's not Teacher's."
The rapidly beating little hearts of Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yueer, and the other Disciples finally slowed down, having clearly rationalized the situation.
But Teacher's next sentence made them collectively explode:
"And the reason Teacher Dong encountered misfortune is because she became pregnant with Teacher's child. Teacher is very ashamed and blames himself for not noticing her pregnancy immediately, leaving her to endure these agonizing months of pregnancy alone."
"Fortunately, for the Saint's wedding, I had Xue'er return to Spirit Hall. After Xue'er discovered that Teacher Dong might be in danger, she immediately entrusted Demon Subduing Douluo to come for help. Otherwise, Teacher might have lived with regret forever."
"Now, Teacher Dong has severed ties with Spirit Hall. From now on, her Supreme Pontiff Palace no longer belongs to Spirit Hall; she is simply herself.
Teacher Dong will also be staying at the academy to recuperate during her pregnancy and give birth. Teacher hopes everyone can treat Teacher Dong kindly. Although she is an Auxiliary Teacher of the academy and has not yet passed the full-time assessment, she now has a new identity: she is your Teacher's wife. You must respect her as you respect me, okay?"
Boom—
These words were like a bomb with world-destroying power, thrown into the crowd of girls, exploding with a hum, leaving everyone scarred and emotionally damaged.
Ning Rongrong, at the front of the Disciples, suddenly felt her legs tremble and her body weaken.
She couldn't help but take two steps back, feeling a lack of blood flow to her brain, dizzy and lightheaded.
Her gaze towards Teacher Su Ran was filled with despair, her eyes rolling back, and then her entire body fell straight backward:
"Teacher… you!"
Bang!
"Oh~ no!"
Shui Yueer's body was as soft as flowing water, without definition or end, finally hitting a red maple tree and fainting:
"Sister, this is a dream, this must be a dream, right?"
Xiao Wu also couldn't bear it, seemingly thinking of something, she repeatedly retreated, falling to the ground, disbelieving:
"No~ Teacher, I'd rather Cultivate diligently, become stronger on my own, take revenge myself, and revive Mama myself, than have this outcome!"
"No!"
"Mama. You will never know what Teacher has sacrificed for us!"
"No—"
One after another, the Disciples were unable to bear it, their bodies went limp, some fainted on the spot, some quickly pinched their philtrum to regain Qi, and some immediately found a peach tree or maple tree to lean against or sat on a stone bench to avoid losing all strength and ending up sitting on the ground.
"Teacher, are you serious?"
"Teacher, you're not joking, are you?"
"Bibi Dong, the child in her belly, is really yours, isn't it, Teacher?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Bing'er, who had managed to retain a bit of their composure, looked at Teacher Su Ran with moved eyes and asked, how they wished Teacher would give a negative answer and tell them with a smile:
"Teacher was just playing a joke on you."
Teacher stood in front of the lecture hall, red maple leaves fluttering, echoing the profound red robe he wore, and Teacher nodded faintly:
"Perhaps this matter is a bit too sudden for everyone, but it had to be told sooner or later. I hope everyone can overcome it."
"The academy is a place for learning, and this is also Teacher's private matter. Teacher will try to adjust my time as much as possible so as not to affect everyone's learning and Cultivation. But there might still be some impact, so please bear with me, students."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong, who had just slightly recovered, almost couldn't breathe and nearly fainted backward:
Teacher, is it because we are worried that our Cultivation will be affected?
Ah ah ah ah!
Let this continent be destroyed!
I, Ning Rongrong, the invincible little Vajra, was not broken by an attack system Spirit Master, but this time I am truly broken!
