BTTH: Many children bring more blessings, I will build strongest clan

**Chapter 10: Senior Brother**

"What?"

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Yun Yun's eyes widened in shock.

"Yanran… is pregnant?"

Her expression shifted from disbelief to annoyance. It took a long moment for Yun Yun to process the news. When she finally spoke, her tone was laced with frustration.

"I told you two to exercise restraint, but you didn't listen. Now look what's happened!"

She glared at Chen Feng, her anger barely contained.

She should've known this would happen. These two spend every waking moment together. How could they not 'win the bid' sooner or later?

Yun Yun also blamed herself. She lacked experience in such matters and hadn't intervened strongly enough. Now, her carefully laid plans for their cultivation were in shambles.

In her mind, Nalan Yanran was still a young girl with endless potential. This was supposed to be the prime time for her to focus on her cultivation and reach heights far beyond her peers. Yun Yun had meticulously prepared a training regimen and resources for them, but Nalan Yanran's pregnancy disrupted everything.

"Teacher," Chen Feng began, meeting her glare with a calm demeanor. "Things have already come to this. The most urgent matter now is settling my marriage with Yanran. Otherwise, when her belly begins to show, rumors will spread, and things will only get worse."

Despite Yun Yun's anger, Chen Feng remained unapologetic.

Restraint? he thought. Nalan Yanran is clearly a fertile woman, or she wouldn't have gotten pregnant so easily. Besides, once it starts, how do you stop? It's not like he had a choice.

Yun Yun closed her eyes and sighed deeply, trying to calm her frustration.

"You're right. If you two don't get married soon, you'll become a laughingstock," she admitted.

Opening her eyes, she glared at Chen Feng again. "So, this is why you were so eager to cancel the engagement. You were afraid your little scandal would be exposed and couldn't be covered up anymore."

Her voice dripped with sarcasm, and her teeth practically ground together in anger.

"If I hadn't asked, were you planning to keep this from me?" she demanded.

Taking a deep breath, Yun Yun reined in her emotions. As leader of the Yunlan Sect, she had to consider the bigger picture.

"Chen Feng," she said firmly, "you can't afford to make any mistakes when you visit Wutan City. You must succeed in canceling the engagement. Yanran cannot wait any longer."

Her tone turned colder. "If the Xiao family resists, use whatever means necessary. This engagement must end."

Yun Yun no longer cared about the Xiao family's feelings. The reputation of the Yunlan Sect and the welfare of her disciples took priority.

"Disciple understands," Chen Feng replied.

Although he hoped to avoid unnecessary conflict, he was prepared to use force if needed.

In his mind, the stakes were clear. If he couldn't protect his woman, then what was the point of his strength?

"Teacher," Chen Feng continued, "I'll be gone for some time. Since Yanran is pregnant, I'm entrusting her care to you."

Yun Yun raised an eyebrow but nodded. "You don't need to explain. Don't forget, Yanran is my disciple too. I'll make sure she's taken care of."

Chen Feng smiled awkwardly, then bowed and left.

Returning to his courtyard, Chen Feng immediately told Nalan Yanran about his plans to leave for Wutan City in three days.

"Teacher didn't say anything to me, did she?" Nalan Yanran asked nervously.

Chen Feng chuckled. "Don't worry. Teacher cares for you deeply. She's not upset with you."

Still, Nalan Yanran's anxiety lingered. She lowered her head, her voice trembling. "What if Teacher is disappointed in me? What if she thinks I've let her down?"

Seeing her distress, Chen Feng gently pulled her into his arms.

"Yanran, you're overthinking this. Teacher sees you as her own daughter. She only wants what's best for you," he reassured her.

"As soon as I return, I'll visit the Nalan family to formally propose marriage. I'll give you the grand wedding you deserve," he added, his voice soft and sincere.

Leaning into his embrace, Nalan Yanran blushed but smiled. "Brother, I just want to stay by your side forever. As long as we're together, I'll be happy."

Three days passed quickly.

On the day before his departure, Yun Yun handed Chen Feng the Qi Gathering Powder that Elder Gu He had refined as compensation for the Xiao family.

Nalan Yanran also gave him the official engagement document between her and Xiao Yan.

With everything ready, Chen Feng planned to leave for Wutan City the following morning.

That evening, he lay in bed with Nalan Yanran in his arms, savoring the peaceful moment.

"Brother, this is your first time traveling far. Be careful," Nalan Yanran whispered, her voice filled with concern.

Chen Feng kissed her forehead gently. "Don't worry. The Miter family has a branch in Wutan City. I'll have plenty of support. You just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby."

Nalan Yanran blushed and nodded, her face pressed against his chest. "Hmm..."

After a moment of silence, her voice grew shy. "Brother, you'll be gone for half a month… Can you manage without me?"

Her words carried a deeper meaning, and her cheeks flushed red as she avoided his gaze.

Chen Feng chuckled, understanding immediately. His hand gently caressed her hair.

"Even if it's difficult, I'll endure. Your health and the baby come first," he said earnestly.

Touched by his words, Nalan Yanran's eyes glistened with emotion. After a moment, she whispered something softly, and then slid under the covers.

Chen Feng's eyes widened briefly, but he smiled.
