"Well, it's hard to say. After all, Xu Fang and Xiao Yong have been trying to conceive, so who knows when they'll succeed? This is your first task, you must see it through, try to grasp every detail so that you can write a comprehensive summary of this mission. And, as part of wrapping up the task, it will also provide you with some work experience, which is essential for your growth," Dao Lao said.
"Alright, you should go now! See you later!" Dao Lao patted Hao Yun on the back, then hurriedly jumped into a taxi with Master Gu, disappearing quickly around the corner.
Hao Yun wouldn't miss any opportunity to improve his strength, so after Dao Lao and Master Gu left, he immediately immersed himself in the task assigned by Dao Lao. Actually, Hao Yun was quite worried about any potential issues when Liu Erwa was reincarnated into Xu Fang's womb. Moreover, he really wanted to witness the happy ending of Xiao Yong and Xu Fang welcoming their child.
With that in mind, Hao Yun once again immersed his consciousness into the Mold Spirit Energy Pursuit System to locate Xiao Yong and Xu Fang. However, since the ghostly aura had disappeared from Xiao Yong and Xu Fang, and the divine realm couldn't easily monitor beings in the mortal realm, Hao Yun's system couldn't pinpoint their exact location. Fortunately, the tracker that Dao Lao had previously placed in Xiao Yong's coat was still working, so Hao Yun could still attempt to find Xiao Yong using the tracker. Luckily, Xiao Yong was wearing that coat and was now at Xu Fang's hospital.
"Xiao Yong must be at the hospital to see Xu Fang, right? Xiao Yong is indeed a responsible husband, always visiting his wife whenever he has the chance. But it's not even two o'clock yet, and he's already here today." Hao Yun muttered to himself, inexplicably envious of the love between this couple.
Soon, Hao Yun arrived at the Rongjin City First People's Hospital. Since it was winter and various mutated infectious diseases were prevalent, masks and hats were the most common attire recently. This meant that even though Hao Yun was bundled up tightly as he entered the hospital, he didn't attract any special attention.
Following the tracker's positioning, Hao Yun quickly found Xiao Yong in the hospital corridor. At this moment, Xiao Yong was pacing anxiously outside the ultrasound room. It seemed that he had come to the hospital today not to visit Xu Fang, but because Xu Fang was scheduled for an ultrasound examination.
"Husband!" At this moment, accompanied by a sweet voice, Xu Fang excitedly rushed out of the ultrasound room and threw herself into Xiao Yong's arms.
"Have the results come out? How is it?!" Xiao Yong quickly hugged Xu Fang, anxiously asking.
"Mm." Xu Fang nodded vigorously with her bright, watery eyes fixed on Xiao Yong.
"What did the doctor say? Is there no misdiagnosis?" Xiao Yong asked anxiously.
"What are you thinking? How could there be a misdiagnosis? Are you wishing ill upon me?" Xu Fang playfully accused Xiao Yong.
Then, pretending to exert force, she fiercely slapped the examination report in Xiao Yong's head, saying, "Here, see for yourself!"
Seeing this, Xiao Yong quickly released Xu Fang, took the examination report, and quickly looked through it. Suddenly, he shouted for joy, then immediately lifted Xu Fang like a princess and began to excitedly spin around in the corridor. Startled, Xu Fang quickly clung tightly to Xiao Yong's neck to prevent herself from being flung away.
"Oh my god! It's real! I'm not dreaming! I'm going to be a father! I'm finally going to be a father!" Xiao Yong shouted excitedly, drawing envious looks from the doctors and patients passing by.
"Oh dear! Keep your voice down! This is a hospital! Put me down quickly! Aren't you afraid you'll throw the baby out of my belly in a moment?" Xu Fang, in the midst of the whirlwind, couldn't help but whisper, her face turning pale.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yong quickly stopped spinning and very carefully placed Xu Fang on a bench in the corridor, his face full of panic as he gently stroked Xu Fang's abdomen, continuously apologizing to the unborn child. Seeing Xiao Yong in a panic, Xu Fang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It turned out that Xu Fang and Xiao Yong had slept soundly last night and slept until noon the next day. Then, Xu Fang, who had just gotten up and was about to tidy up, rushed to the hospital for the afternoon shift. However, shortly after she got up, she began to vomit due to discomfort in her stomach and abdomen.
At first, Xu Fang thought it was because she had accidentally caught a cold while sleeping or had eaten something bad the night before. But continuous bouts of vomiting immediately made Xu Fang, who had been working in the hospital for a long time, realize that the situation might not be as simple as a stomach problem. So, with suspicion in her heart, Xu Fang immediately took a pregnancy test with a test stick, and the shocking result she got was positive.
Looking at the positive pregnancy test stick in her hand, Xu Fang couldn't believe her eyes, and tears of excitement streamed down her face. Outside the bathroom, Xiao Yong, who was anxiously waiting, heard Xu Fang crying and immediately had a bad thought. Due to the long-term inability to conceive, Xu Fang had always been under tremendous psychological pressure, which made Xiao Yong extremely worried about her physical and mental health. So upon hearing Xu Fang's crying, Xiao Yong's first reaction was that Xu Fang hadn't conceived. Therefore, he quickly pushed open the door, fearing that Xu Fang might do something foolish because she was upset.

After entering the bathroom, Xiao Yong saw his wife curled up on the floor. Xiao Yong quickly went up and hugged Xu Fang into his arms, anxiously saying, "Wife, what's wrong with you? Is there anything uncomfortable? Wife, it's okay if we didn't conceive this time, we can try again next time! You mustn't be sad, you mustn't ruin your health just to have a child!"
Just as Xiao Yong was about to take out his phone to call for help, Xu Fang tried hard to suppress her crying, tremblingly handed the positive pregnancy test stick to Xiao Yong, and said in a choked voice, "Husband, I, I'm fine. I, I seem to be pregnant."
Upon hearing Xu Fang's words, Xiao Yong was completely stunned for a few seconds, unable to comprehend what Xu Fang meant. Seeing Xiao Yong's dumbfounded expression, Xu Fang couldn't help but burst into laughter and said in a playful tone with a hint of tears, "Honey, what I meant was, I think I might actually be pregnant."
Xiao Yong finally realized what was happening in front of him. He immediately dropped his phone, took the pregnancy test stick, and stood up to find the instructions for the pregnancy test stick from the drawer of the washbasin. He repeatedly compared it several times. Then, holding up the pregnancy test stick with two obvious lines, he looked at Xu Fang in disbelief and said, "Wife! You, you seem to be pregnant!"
Xu Fang got up, walked to Xiao Yong, who was trembling violently with excitement, nodded vigorously in response, and the two of them immediately embraced each other and wept tears of joy.
Although the pregnancy test stick showed a positive result, there was still a chance of misjudgment. So, after quickly venting their excitement, the two of them quickly adjusted their state and prepared to take the pregnancy test stick for a professional examination to rule out the possibility of a false pregnancy. So, they went together to Xu Fang's workplace—the Rongjin City First People's Hospital—to have a thorough examination by the doctors there to finally confirm whether she was pregnant. And as witnessed by Hao Yun, the final examination result showed that Xiao Yong and Xu Fang finally had their own child. The two of them cuddled closely on the bench, looking at the final examination report issued by the hospital, their faces filled with happiness and joy.
Leaning against Xiao Yong's arms, Xu Fang occasionally expressed her gratitude to her colleagues who came to congratulate her. The entire third floor of the hospital was engulfed in a atmosphere of blessings and joy. Xu Fang touched her abdomen, sighed lightly with relief, and said, "I never expected that we would finally have our own baby! Finally, we can form a complete family! This feels like a dream, it's simply unbelievable!"
"Yes! It's truly unbelievable! I, I'm actually going to be a father!" Xiao Yong also sighed with emotion.
"Hey! It's mainly because my wife is beautiful, kind, gentle, and virtuous, so perhaps the heavens felt they couldn't sit idly by anymore and blessed us!" To match the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, Xiao Yong began to tease in a playful tone.
Xu Fang pretended to pinch Xiao Yong in his arms and said, "Hmph! Stop talking nonsense! There's no such thing as heaven! Perhaps it's just our luck. Or maybe because we didn't do well enough when we were trying to conceive, which is why we didn't get pregnant all this time? But it's strange. The doctors in the hospital couldn't figure out why I couldn't get pregnant before, and now they still can't figure out why I suddenly got pregnant."
Xiao Yong kissed Xu Fang on the forehead and said, "Dear, don't worry about these details. Whether it's fate or luck, I just want you and our child to be safe. I just hope you can smoothly give birth to the baby."
Xu Fang didn't say anything, just responded with a kiss, indicating that she would take good care of her pregnancy and ensure that the child would be born healthy.
The two of them sat happily together for a while, and then Xu Fang suddenly said in a strange tone, "But speaking of which, do you remember Dao Lao from last night? Although he's a bit eccentric, do you remember how he insisted on waiting for us at the gate of our community in such cold weather yesterday? Do you think the sachet he gave me might—"
Xiao Yong frowned and asked, "Are you saying that the sachet really worked?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Yong shook his head and continued, "Even if that sachet really works, how could it suddenly take effect overnight? It's probably just a coincidence. Regardless of whether there was that sachet or not, you would have gotten pregnant."
Xu Fang didn't pay attention to Xiao Yong and continued seriously, "I know it's impossible. But don't you think the scent of this sachet is really captivating? And when I hold this sachet, I always feel a sense of invisible protection. It's a very indescribable feeling that makes me feel very relieved."
Xiao Yong shrugged, indicating that the scent of this sachet was indeed very unique, but it still couldn't explain how the sachet helped Xu Fang successfully conceive. However, although Xiao Yong, who was originally from the special forces, didn't believe in these metaphysical things, he didn't want to ruin Xu Fang's good mood at this time.
Therefore, Xiao Yong followed Xu Fang's topic and said, "Maybe! Maybe that Dao Lao is the special envoy sent by the heavens specifically to send us blessings?"
Therefore, Xiao Yong continued to go along with Xu Fang's topic and said, "Perhaps! Maybe that Dao Lao is the heavenly envoy specifically sent to bless us with children?"
Naturally, Xu Fang detected the teasing tone in Xiao Yong's words, so she pretended to be coquettish and said, "Maybe that's true. Maybe it's because I'm too outstanding, so the heavens had to test me in every possible way before allowing me to conceive a child? Maybe our child will become a great figure in the future? Ah! Thinking about it, being able to marry such an outstanding wife like me is truly your luck for eight lifetimes!"
"Perhaps it's because I saved the Milky Way in my past life, so the heavens rewarded me with the opportunity to pursue you?!" Xiao Yong also adopted Xu Fang's tone and responded playfully.
Then, the two of them laughed happily and snuggled together. At that moment, Xiao Yong finally expressed his innermost wish to Xu Fang. He hoped that after having children, they could go fishing at the nearby Lu'an Park every weekend with their child. However, because they had not been able to conceive for so many years, Xiao Yong had silently kept this wish hidden in his heart to avoid excessively stimulating Xu Fang.
Upon hearing this, Xu Fang immediately excitedly agreed. She said that she actually loved the Lu'an Park where they used to go boating when they were dating. Moreover, she had often fantasized about taking their child there to play once they had one. Speaking of this, Xu Fang expressed her excitement, saying that she would definitely buy a barbecue grill and specialize in making Sichuan-style grilled fish for Xiao Yong and their child. Additionally, Xu Fang mentioned that she would make an effort to learn Lu weaving techniques next and would make straw hats and shoes for Xiao Yong and their child using reeds picked from the park in the future.
