Chapter 130 – Extra: Pregnancy – Your Majesty, I’ll sleep alone tonight

Translator: ChuRen/ YuQiChen

In the backyard of the palace, where orchid trees bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance.

A beautiful blue tabby Maine Coon cat, standing as tall as half an adult, with fluffy and silky long fur, light silver with a blue tint, tall ears perked high, and a pair of big round amber eyes.

The cat was well-groomed, with a silver sheen shimmering on its fur, exuding a majestic aura.

It strolled leisurely, sniffing the delicate floral scents, occasionally lazily swishing its big tail.

A small fluffy ball of fur, looking silly and adorable, with round, beady eyes like two black beans, scampered over to catch up.

It ran around the Maine Coon cat, jumping and playing, causing a ruckus.

The Maine Coon cat lowered its head to look at the little thing bouncing around on the ground, meowed helplessly, then used its claws to grab the nape of the little one’s neck, picked it up, and tossed it onto its back.

Like tossing a furry little toy.

The little coffee cat dangled its paws, gripping the Maine Coon cat’s back, happily meowing incessantly.

[Host! Hurry up! Look at how long your legs are!]

Tang Qing sighed helplessly, “99, aren’t you tired of this yet?”

System 99 gleefully responded, [Host, it’s my first time having a body, it’s so much fun!]

Thinking about it, since System 99 rarely got to be a cat, Tang Qing decided to spend more time with it.

Remembering games he saw parents and children play when he was young, he picked up the little coffee cat by the nape of its neck and tossed it into the air.

[Meow!!!] System 99 exclaimed in surprise.

It was thrown high into the air, only to be caught agilely before landing. The little furball tumbled up and down, never hitting the ground before being thrown back into the air.

After a few rounds, it landed back on the broad back of the Maine Coon cat.

The Maine Coon cat had thick, soft fur, more comfortable than the finest carpet. Landing on it didn’t hurt at all, it was actually quite comfortable.

System 99 was completely immersed in this incredibly enjoyable game, its eyes filled with joy and excitement.

[Host, this is so much fun! Toss me higher! Toss me higher!]

Tang Qing nodded and lifted the little furball once again, tossing it high into the air.

After System 99 obtained a physical body, he found that many of its habits and hobbies were just like those of a human child.

He just knew that System 99 would enjoy playing this game.

So, when the new Emperor Xie Qingzhi returned to the palace in the afternoon, he was unable to find his beautiful Empress. Instead, he saw the big Maine Coon cat and the little cat playing in the garden.

The maids had tactfully withdrawn.

They had long noticed that the new Emperor only had eyes for the Empress; his first act every day after court was to seek him out for a tender moment.

Sometimes, if the Empress was resting in his room with the door locked, the new Emperor would go to the garden to find the Maine Coon cat he raised.

Truly, this was the highest level of loving the house and its crows.

The new Emperor adored the cat the Empress raised. Whenever he saw that cat, his eyes lit up. He was so eager to hold such a large cat, wanting to pick it up and cuddle it wherever he went.

Speaking of which, the Maine Coon cat the Empress raised was truly extraordinary.

Beautiful and majestic, every time he locked eyes with its crystal-like amber eyes, he felt like it was a little spirit born from moonlight. Beautiful and intelligent, as if it understood everything, extremely humane.

Truly worthy of being the cat raised by the Empress.

“Tangtang.” The man’s voice was deep and pleasant.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the Maine Coon cat immediately turned around and hurried towards the man, leaping into his arms with a swift movement, filling his embrace with its fluffy body.

The coffee cat behind fell from the air and landed on the ground with a thud.

[Phew, phew, phew…] System 99 spat out the grass from its mouth, complaining softly, [Why is it always face down? My face seems to be getting flatter…]

The man had a handsome face, now free of scars, with perfect three-dimensional features and distinct contours. His muscles were firm and sensual, effortlessly lifting such a large cat without any difficulty.

He was tall, over six feet tall, making the big cat nestling in his arms appear especially small and adorable.

The two returned to the room, and the man couldn’t wait to close the door.

Tang Qing reverted to his human form, tightly held in Xie Qingzhi’s embrace.

“Tangtang, did you miss me today?” The man asked in a low voice.

“I see you every day, it’s only been a few hours since we last met…” Tang Qing was being held so tightly that he could hardly breathe, so he could only mumble.

Xie Qingzhi, dissatisfied, said, “But I’ve only started showing my face these past few days, so you haven’t seen my face much at all. Don’t you miss it?”

What kind of strange romantic dialogue was this?

Tang Qing had to respond, “Although I haven’t seen my lord’s face much, I’ve already engraved it in my heart.”

Xie Qingzhi was quite pleased with that answer.

However, he quickly pressed on, “Do you prefer my previous face or my current one?”

Tang Qing thought to himself, here we go again.

He noticed that these past few days, ever since Xie Qingzhi had regained his appearance, Xie Qingzhi spent more and more time sneaking glances at himself in the mirror, his gaze towards himself becoming more and more complex, sparking like a fire.

He also loved asking himself these kinds of life-threatening questions.

But Tang Qing was someone who could even tame the royal mad dog.

So, he skillfully dodged the question, “I love them both. Every part of the lord’s body, every inch, I love them all immensely.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingzhi was greatly pleased and, holding the Empress’s slender waist, he leaned in to kiss him.

However, Tang Qing abruptly pushed him away, turned to the side, and uncontrollably began to retch on the ground.

Seeing Tang Qing’s reaction, Xie Qingzhi’s heart shattered into pieces in an instant.

Was the affectionate words he said too insincere, making him feel nauseated?

“Tangtang… do you not like my current face?”

Wasn’t this face handsome enough?

Was there still time to make another set of masks?

“No, Your Highness, it’s not intentional… I just can’t control myself.”

Tang Qing himself wasn’t sure what was happening.

His brows furrowed, his face slightly pale. From the initial nausea he felt on Hongyu Star a few days ago, he had often inexplicably felt nauseous and sick.

Seeing Tang Qing’s intense reaction, Xie Qingzhi, unable to mend his broken heart, quickly called for a doctor.

The doctor examined Tang Qing and then, with a joyful expression, announced, “Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor, congratulations to His Majesty the Empress. Your Majesty, you are pregnant!”

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingzhi looked at Tang Qing with a face full of joy.

However, Tang Qing, puzzled, looked at the doctor. Why did the doctor only say half of it?

So he asked, “What is it?”

The doctor knew that some Omegas, when they first became pregnant, might be too overwhelmed with joy to believe it.

Smiling, he firmly replied, “Your Majesty the Empress is expecting a little prince.”

Tang Qing was shocked.

He had asked the doctor before – newly transformed Omegas had very delicate reproductive systems and were basically unable to conceive. So since becoming an Omega, apart from the first time with Xie Qingzhi when they didn’t take precautions, they had used protection in subsequent encounters.

How could this happen?

“Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress, you are three months pregnant.”

Three months, that was before he became an Omega.

He then remembered – the day before he married Xie Qingzhi, he had taken the black technology pill given by Katerina, the fertility pill.

And then, on the drunken day, with Xie Qingzhi…

Tang Qing incredulously touched his stomach.

He was only three months pregnant, his belly still flat, and he couldn’t feel anything through the thin skin.

It was hard to imagine a little life growing inside.

Xie Qingzhi dismissed the doctor, holding Tang Qing and soothingly said, “Tangtang, if you don’t want this, you don’t have to…”

Even though Xie Qingzhi was eager to have a little life with Tang Qing, he knew that Tang Qing didn’t want to conceive, and the pain of male pregnancy wasn’t any less than that of females. So he would respect Tang Qing’s choice.

Not to mention the risks and the pain of childbirth.

Compared to having a little life, he didn’t want Tang Qing to suffer.

Tang Qing pushed Xie Qingzhi away and walked to the table, picking up pen and paper to draw circles and scribble.

Xie Qingzhi looked over in confusion.

XY x XY?

In this interstellar ABO world, there was no Mendel, no biological knowledge like what Tang Qing had learned in the real world.

As a fish that slipped through the net of the nine-year compulsory education, Xie Qingzhi had no idea what chromosomes were.

He only heard Tang Qing muttering to a few English letters with a puzzled expression:

“Cute, soft, and adorable little girl, the probability is only one in three.”

Xie Qingzhi was completely bewildered…

—

Since the Empress was pregnant, the palace maids were on edge once again.

Every day after court, the Emperor would meticulously inquire about what the Empress did, ate, and saw each day.

They thought that some of the minor details were insignificant, but if they accidentally revealed anything, the Emperor would rage.

It reminded the maids of the cruel and brutal Emperor before he met the Empress.

Fortunately, now that they had the Empress, the Emperor wouldn’t casually throw people into the dungeon to torture them.

Xie Qingzhi gently touched Tang Qing’s slightly bulging belly and softly said, “Tangtang, is the baby behaving today?”

Tang Qing, a bit worried, touched his belly and said, “The baby was restless again today. Do you think it’s a boy? Why is the baby so active?”

Xie Qingzhi released calming pheromones to soothe his Omega wife, who tended to be anxious during pregnancy.

“Perhaps it’s a lively and cute girl?”

Xie Qingzhi said this, but he wasn’t entirely sure.

Because he felt that the child in Tang Qing’s belly had a faint Alpha scent.

He suspected it was a boy.

Xie Qingzhi couldn’t help but worry.

After the initial excitement of learning about Tang Qing’s pregnancy, he gradually became anxious.

Tang Qing seemed like a gentle and loving father; he would surely adore their child and dedicate most of his time to them in the future.

But if the child turned out to be an Alpha…

Xie Qingzhi’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze inscrutable.

The Alpha boy would inherit Tang Qing’s beauty, surely very beautiful as well.

Being young and spoiled, would he be able to compete?

Xie Qingzhi felt pre-natal anxiety creeping up on him.

At that moment, Tang Qing pushed away the man’s warm embrace, saying disdainfully, “Your Majesty, I’ll sleep alone tonight. My belly is too big now, and I’m uncomfortable sleeping with you.”
