Master Bai! This Celestial Fox Spirit Is Asking For Divorce-Chapter 388: Episode 41.8 Recharging!

"Oh my gosh! Is it just me, or does my stomach really look bigger now?"

The terribly laughable concern in Shen Yuan’s voice didn’t fail to make Bai Tingfeng smile.

It was the weekend.

The entire family was at home, chilling on their front lawn, as the weather had finally cleared up after days of raining so hard.

It’s been days since the check-up happened, and yet the celestial fox spirit still acts jumpy about his pregnancy.

But how can he not when he just received the most terrifying news he has ever heard?

"It is quite possible that Master Shen’s bump will grow exponentially bigger than normal pregnancies. It could be three times or four times bigger, depending on the growth of the three tails. But Master Shen does not need to worry, you will not experience any pain during birth because we will proceed with caesarean section as we initially planned."

These are the words that continued to hunt Shen Yuan.

And because of this, even though his physical discomfort no longer made him cranky, Shen Yuan still became paranoid.

"You dare to laugh at my face because you alphas would never experience the fear of seeing your abdomen inflate to the size of a yoga ball!" Shen Yuan angrily flashed his fangs at Bai Tingfeng.

"Yoga ball was an exaggeration, Yuan." Bai Tingfeng softly said to coax his husband, yet his amused smile never left. "I think with the three tails, it should be close to the size of carrying triplets."

Shen Yuan squinted his eyes at Bai Tingfeng, his nostrils flared as if fire was about to come out of them any minute.

"You are really enjoying this, aren’t you?" Shen Yuan angrily reached out and pinched the alpha’s nipples. "You liked seeing me freaking out!"

Bai Tingfeng grimaced in pain, but he didn’t pull away. Instead, he raised both hands in surrender to the accusations. "Thinking that you look endearing is different from enjoying the sight of your frustration, Yuan."

Bai Tingfeng’s handsome face became serious. "I cannot help but smile because even though you looked stressed, you are still beautiful."

Shen Yuan choked back his grievances. Does this man really think he could be easily coaxed with those honey-soaked words? He is not that naïve!

"Are you sure?" The celestial fox spirit huffed when Bai Tingfeng nodded his head. He pinched Bai Tingfeng’s nipples some more before releasing them.

"I swear, I am going to make you suffer once I prove you are just messing with me." Shen Yuan glared at Bai Tingfeng.

Really, he is not easy to coax.

Bai Tingfeng pressed his lips shut, silently watching the expression on his husband.

"So, how was the mana consumption of our baby? Is it draining you?" He asked after some time.

Shen Yuan momentarily closed his eyes and tried to get a better sense of his mana circulation. "Our baby absorbs my mana fast, but not to the point of draining the mana I stored. Though..." He paused, thoughtful. "I think I need mana potions— or better yet, some hyper-reactive mana stones to refresh the mana I am losing every minute."

Bai Tingfeng thoughtfully think about what to do for his husband’s needs. "Mana potion is not advisable for pregnant omegas as it could cause some digestive discomfort once you take too much. But for the hyper-reactive mana stone..."

"Don’t worry about that. My foxfire beasts will be happy to churn up and absorb them for me."

Bai Tingfeng gave Shen Yuan a skeptical look. He walked towards the coffee table to get his phone and message Assistant Su’s phone for the mana stone.

"Oh. Believe me, they would be delighted." A cryptic smile danced on Shen Yuan’s lips.

Then, without further convincing, Shen Yuan summoned his foxfire beasts— all five of them.

They popped out of thin air with cute "eek!"

"Okay, little bitches listen up. My mana was being siphoned by the little cub in my womb. I need to replenish them before I dry up."

The little foxfire beasts tilted their confused. Now, why would that be their problem? That is not their cub.

"I need you to absorb mana from the hyper-reactive mana stones," Shen Yuan’s words that immediately struck the foxfire beasts like lightning.

"Hiiii!" They immediately chirped in great distress.

No! They don’t want to experience munching on those cold, hard stones again! Those minerals may not be a match to their razor-sharp fangs, but that doesn’t mean putting those on their mouth was a pleasant experience!

They took after their master’s vanity! They deserve a chance to be picky!

But Shen Yuan quickly shut them down.

"This isn’t just for me. It’s for the baby, too." The celestial fox spirit said with firm conviction. "Can’t you make an exception just for this one time?"

"Hii. Hiii. Hiiik," One foxfire beast said that directly translates to: If we lend you a hand, you will undoubtedly pull our entire hand, master. Don’t think we are naïve. We know exactly how you think.

Shen Yuan, who had a terrible track record, couldn’t argue. He turned to his husband for help.

Bai Tingfeng put down his phone and gave the foxfire beasts a heart-stirring smile.

"Please. We could use some help raising our child. And besides, by all rights, our children are your children too."

The five foxfire beasts’ fur stood up from root to end after Bai Tingfeng’s powerful convincing.

This hunk is saying that they have children together?!

The slutty foxfire beasts felt their hearts race at such thought. But still, they didn’t forget to play hard to get.

They all turned their backs on Bai Tingfeng.

However, Shen Yuan and Bai Tingfeng could clearly see that the playful arch and wiggle their tails made. They are obviously satisfied with the alpha’s coaxing.

The celestial fox spirit scrunched his face in disgust. No way he was like these five. Surely, they picked this stupid trait somewhere else.

On the other hand, Bai Tingfeng smiled. These little foxes are indeed part of his husband. Even the acting skills clearly resembled Shen Yuan’s.

"We learned from the doctor that our baby had three tails like the fox spirits. Aren’t you curious to see what they will look like once your master gives birth to them?"

That undoubtedly caught the attention of the foxfire beasts. They dropped their act, and they all jumped in front of their master, Shen Yuan.

All of them are yelping, asking if the news is true.

"Yes, the baby will be born with traits of a fox spirit. The ultrasound even showed the tails, though they aren’t fully formed yet. My best guess is that when I strengthened the integration of my body and spirit, the baby absorbed some of my spirit’s aura." Shen Yuan explained his understanding of the situation to both his husband and the foxfire beasts. "The mother and son are essentially one before birth. Hence, when I consolidate my body, our baby is also affected."

Bai Tingfeng stopped for a minute and thought that it was indeed reasonable.

"So," Shen Yuan crossed his arms. "Would you like to join in raising the baby? From now on, I will allocate enough mana for you to maintain a solid body for as long as you agree to help recharge my and my baby’s mana."

"Hiiii!" The five foxfire beasts ran around excited. There’s no need to ask whether they would mind raising the baby. They are curious and excited to see the birth of the baby with fox spirit traits!

"Good." Shen Yuan smiled, triumphant. He and Bai Tingfeng exchanged a satisfied smile before he issued his first order. "Now, my husband’s mana stone is still on the way. However, I badly need to replenish my mana. Can you get the box I stashed in my closet? It’s in the second compartment behind the door."

Shen Yuan’s smile stretched devilishly. "Those are the leftovers from last time. Today is your chance to finish them cleanly."

The foxfire beasts tremble. Shit! They could feel it. The days of being slaves to mana stone are ahead of them!

~~~

The guaranteed presence of the foxfire beasts not only made Shen Yuan happy, but Yanyan, too.

The little boy greatly missed the five magical furry beasts so much that he accompanied them as they ate away the hyper-reactive mana stone with teary eyes.

"Eat well, baby foxes!" Yanyan lovingly massaged their furry crown while their heads were buried in the bowl.

"Eeek..." The little foxes hummed weakly.

It pains them to know that the boy innocently thought that they were just gluttons about these rocks. However, they can’t do anything to correct it because they can’t properly communicate with the boy...

They are simply miserable.

"Young Master Yan," Suddenly, Gu Jinpeng arrived with Qin Mian and Li An. All three of them are holding thick, metal boxes.

Yanyan energetically hopped towards his Dad’s subordinates.

"Do you need anything, Uncle Jinpeng?" He sweetly addressed Shen Yuan’s close assistant. His smile soothingly eased the tiredness the three felt from hauling these big, metal boxes.

"Do you know where I can find your Daddy? The hyper-reactive mana stones he asked for from Chairman Mao are here. I wonder where I can stash them safely," The former assassin spoke softly to the kid."Oh! Daddy is in the study. I will call them for you!" And with that, Yanyan ran away.

Gu Jinpeng and the others curiously looked over where the foxfire beasts were.

"Hiii..." The foxfire beasts made a lazy sound, recognizing the newcomers.

Out of the blue, Gu Jinpeng felt a tug in his heartstrings.

’Why do I feel a sense of camaraderie with these little foxes?’ The poor alpha, who is also considered Shen Yuan’s dog, wondered.

"Guys! You are finally here! Come here!" Shen Yuan called them from the top of the staircase.

Gu Jinpeng snapped out of his reverie. He looked up at his boss, and he saw him smiling so brightly— something that Gu Jinpeng hadn’t seen in a while.

What is going on? Why is his usually cranky boss smiling?

Gu Jinpeng was confused. But deep inside, he thought that this change wasn’t so bad.
