"I'm pregnant…"
Mammon was stunned when he heard Lillie's shy words.
Or rather, he really didn't expect Lillie to suddenly drop such a shocking piece of news.
And he hadn't been with Lillie many times; they only got together at Aether Paradise, and then naturally slept together afterward.
Yes, it was always done secretly when Selene went out for special training.
And because Lillie's physique was relatively delicate, Mammon didn't dare to exert too much force, and the intensity of their acts wasn't high.
Could she still get pregnant this way?
Mammon held Lillie's small hand, and a golden energy lit up. He wanted to confirm it personally.
Arceus's power was incredibly comprehensive, with almost no weaknesses. Under Mammon's control, he quickly confirmed that there was indeed a new little life in Lillie's belly.
At this moment, Mammon couldn't help but truly smile.
An emotion that couldn't be described with words arose, but Mammon was certain that he was very happy.
"Lillie~ you've worked hard."
Mammon embraced the soft body of the blonde girl and spoke gently.
"It's not hard."
Lillie felt Mammon's emotions, and a happy smile appeared on her small face, her clear voice equally soft.
"I didn't know at first, but I felt a bit unwell for the past few days, and my period didn't come, so I asked Pikkon to accompany me to the hospital for a check-up, and that's when it was confirmed."
Lillie said shyly. She still couldn't forget Pikkon's ghost-like expression when she heard the doctor's report.
After all, in the eyes of the Aether Foundation staff, Lillie was an incredibly pure and obedient image, but now, Lillie was actually pregnant with someone else's child!
Pikkon was dumbfounded at the time, but at Lillie's sincere request, Pikkon promised Lillie that she wouldn't tell anyone.
And later, Lillie's meals were all personally prepared by Pikkon, yes, various tonics.
"I haven't told Mother or my brother yet, and Selene doesn't know about this either." Lillie was a bit troubled.
"I'll go talk to them, Lillie. All you need to do now is take good care of yourself."
Mammon said decisively. In reality, his relationship with Lillie had not yet been made public. Although Selene might have some suspicions, she hadn't confirmed it.
"Okay~" Lillie showed a happy yet reserved smile.
"Come, come, let me listen for the baby's movements."
Mammon squatted down and pressed his ear close to Lillie's belly.
"Pfft~ Mammon, it's not that quick yet."
Seeing Mammon's actions, Lillie's small face flushed, but she couldn't help but want to laugh, feeling very happy in her heart.
Because she had only been pregnant for a month, her figure hadn't changed much, and wearing a dress, others wouldn't be able to tell.
"Just getting used to the motion." Mammon couldn't hide his smile.
"Hmm~ Is Mammon happy?"
Lillie blinked her eyes.
"Extremely happy, Lillie. We're going to have our own child."
Mammon stood up, looking directly into Lillie's beautiful, clear eyes, his voice gentle and clear.
Yes, he was truly happy, or rather, even a little dazed.
Because this meant he was going to be a father.
"Mmm~" Lillie contentedly leaned her head gently against Mammon's chest.
Actually, before telling Mammon, she had really worried that Mammon wouldn't like it, or that he would brush her off by saying he was still young and not ready.
For Lillie, when she first received the news, her mind was also blank.
But after she came to her senses, she was genuinely surprised.
She wasn't as talented as Selene, unable to help Mammon with her own abilities, so in some ways, the appearance of this child... truly brought Lillie immense joy.
"You'll stay here from now on, Lillie. I'll have Anthea and the others take care of your daily needs."
Mammon pondered for a moment and discussed it with Lillie. He still preferred Lillie to live in an environment he felt more secure about.
And he had originally intended for Lillie to move in this year.
"Is that okay? Won't it…"
"It's perfectly fine. This is your home from now on."
Mammon smiled.
"Okay~" Lillie bloomed into a very touching smile.
After parting with Mammon, Lillie came to the living room and found Selene sitting on the sofa, fiddling with something.
"Lillie, you're back! Let's go to the backyard battlefield. I've arranged to spar with Zinnia later."
Seeing Lillie return, Selene immediately stood up, grabbed Lillie's hand, and prepared to run to the backyard.
For Selene, this year's World Championship was extremely important!
Because she already had a preliminary idea.
"Speaking of which, there are more and more little Fairies eyeing Mammon, especially that awful Rosa. She's too much of a schemer. I must give her a heavy blow to teach her a lesson!"
"Let her know who the rightful lady of the house is!"
Clearly, Selene was very annoyed with Rosa. This manipulative woman simply didn't put her in her eyes!
If she met her in this World Championship, she would definitely teach that Bun-Haired a good lesson!
"Oh, oh…" Lillie shrank her head upon hearing this, feeling a bit worried.
"Um… Selene?"
"What's wrong, Lillie? You seem a bit strange?"
Selene looked curiously at Lillie, whose gaze was flickering. Lillie in this state was truly rare.
"Actually, there's something very important I want to tell you."
Lillie bit her lip, deciding to come clean with Selene, even though Mammon said he would inform Lusamine and the others.
But Lillie felt that this pressure shouldn't be entirely borne by Mammon, and... it would make her feel even more apologetic to Selene.
Selene was her best friend and sister. Lillie could never forget the joy she shared with Selene last year.
At that time, she had just escaped from Aether Paradise, and the mental pressure was incredibly heavy. It was Selene who gave her a lot of joy and encouragement.
"Hmm? Oh~ Go ahead, what is it?"
Noticing Lillie's seriousness, Selene blinked, very curious.
"Um…" Lillie awkwardly raised a hand to grab her golden hair, while her other hand subconsciously touched her belly.
"?" Selene tilted her head, even more puzzled.
"Selene, I'm pregnant…"
Lillie gritted her teeth and finally whispered it out.
Selene heard clearly and was stunned.
Lillie, pregnant?
But soon, Selene came back to her senses.
"Pregnant? Eh? Really?"
"Mmm…"
"Wow!! Amazing~! Lillie, you're actually having a baby, that's great!"
"Is it a boy or a girl? I'm going to be an auntie, oh given my relationship with you, Selene, it's not too much to be a godmother, right? Boohoo Lillie, that's wonderful."
Selene cheered excitedly, very happy for her sister.
Lillie saw Selene's joyful expression for her, and the look on her small face and her smile became increasingly forced and awkward.
But clearly, Selene was very excited at the moment and didn't notice Lillie's expression. She was now half-squatting, staring intently at Lillie's belly.
"I didn't expect you, Lillie, to get pregnant before me, darn it! Speaking of which, Lillie, who is your boyfriend? I've never even met him, you really are something."
"But I'm still so envious, to have the fruit of love so quickly. Unlike my deadbeat, who's surrounded by all sorts of girls every day, hmph~!"
"Your belly doesn't look much different, so you must have just gotten pregnant, right? Can you hear the baby's movements now? Oh, Lillie, when are you going to take me to meet your man?"
Selene spoke very quickly, so fast that she simply couldn't stop.
At the end, Selene looked up, her eyes sparkling, at Lillie, very curious about her boyfriend.
"Um, my boyfriend…"
Lillie dared not look into Selene's eyes, her voice very soft.
"…"
This time, Selene noticed Lillie's abnormality, her expression stiffened, and her eyes slowly narrowed.
Speaking of which, she had just forgotten that Lillie's social circle was so small, where would she have a close boyfriend?
But there was one, there really was one!
The atmosphere became a bit subtle for a moment.
Darn it, no way?
A bad premonition suddenly rose in Selene's heart.
Lillie also noticed Selene's pretty face getting darker and darker, making her even more nervous.
"Selene, if I told you this child is Mammon's and mine, would you be angry?"
Lillie asked tentatively.
"Hehehe…"
Selene suddenly laughed, relieved.
Lillie, you could totally remove the 'if'.
Alright, alright, I treat you like a real sister! You secretly slept with my boyfriend, and… boohoo, you two actually had a child!!!
Selene really couldn't hold it together anymore. She could barely accept Lillie and Mammon getting together.
But the main thing was, Lillie was actually pregnant!
I haven't even gotten pregnant yet, why does she have one already?
Why? Why is this happening?

..."I don't understand."
Sitting on Mammon's shoulder, Mesprit's two long tails swayed, tilting its head in great confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Mammon's mood at this moment was quite good, or rather, very good.
"You, Mammon, who personally received the Great One's blessing, your life form is already very different from ordinary people."
Mesprit's ethereal telepathy carried a thoughtful tone.
"Logically, it would be very difficult for that girl to conceive your offspring."
"Such things depend on fate, Mesprit." Mammon, however, smiled.
"No, you still don't understand what I mean, Mammon."
Mesprit scratched its head with its paws, its eyes very conflicted, organizing its words and vocabulary.
It missed Uxie at this moment; if Uxie were here, it would be able to explain it very clearly.
"Mammon, you are the one whom the Great One noticed and bestowed favor upon; you are very special."
Mesprit tried to explain clearly.
"The Great One bestowed upon you the most perfect human body and also shared His power with you. This power has a chance to be passed down. Your descendants will undoubtedly be extraordinary, blessed by the world."
"Moreover… you already have a descendant, a 'Child of the World,' who is destined to be born in the future."
Mesprit continued.
It was naturally referring to Akari. Mesprit, who had always been with Mammon, of course knew of Akari's existence.
It had marveled at the exaggerated 'Breath of Origin' on Akari, which was destined fate.
"Mesprit, rational analysis isn't wrong." Mammon chuckled, with deep meaning.
"However, the world isn't that petty. A small probability doesn't mean it's absolutely impossible."
