# Chapter 573: I Might Be About to Give Birth
Returning to Maple Villa, seeing the table full of dishes, Jiangnan's drool was practically flowing!
No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as home. He washed his hands in the bathroom for a full half hour before finally sitting down to eat!
Just as he was about to pick up his chopsticks, Jiangnan's face darkened—his left hand was still sticking up its middle finger!
I'm left-handed, how am I supposed to use chopsticks?
He could only use his right hand to pick up the chopsticks and try to grab a piece of cumin chicken from the plate!
After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't pick it up!
Zhong Yingxue smirked: "Why are you eating with your right hand? Can't you put your left middle finger back down? What strange new tool is this?"
Xia Yao pouted: "Hmph hmph~ I knew something was off! And you tried to trick me into wearing a ring..."
But then she thought about it and her pretty face blushed!
M-Maybe wearing it for a little while wouldn't be so bad!
After all, it was a ring, with special meaning!
Jiangnan looked guilty—after being together with him for so long, did they have to know him this well?
"Yeah yeah! That's exactly it. My left hand's inconvenient, and I'm not used to using my right hand..."
Zhong Yingxue smiled: "Don't bother, let me feed you. Come on! Ahh~"
Saying this, she picked up a piece of chicken, held her hand underneath, and brought it to Jiangnan's mouth!
Jiangnan: ( ͡° ᴗ ͡°)✧ Yes!
Goose hahaha!
Wow! Am I this happy or what?
Ahh~ (⁼̴̤̆ヮ⁼̴̤̆๐)
Xia Yao looked suspicious. With Xiao Nan's skills of slicing bullets with a blade and peeling apples with a halberd, how could he not pick up food with his right hand?
I think you just want to be fed!
Hehe~ Then let's indulge your little wish!
So she picked up a piece of cartilage and fed it to Jiangnan: "Come on~ Ahh~"
Jiangnan: (๐ˇヮˇ) Ahh~
No help for it!
Life is just so boring and dull!
Goose hahaha!
"Where's Xiong Er? Why haven't I seen him?"
Xia Yao snickered: "That girl wearing the Lolita puffy dress, the one named An Xiaoqi, has been inviting Xiong Er out for barbecue and watching cartoons lately!"
Jiangnan was startled!
That Xiong Da and Xiong Er pair are doing well, their careers are flourishing!
Found a girlfriend and forgot their big brother!
Hmph!
Wait, no?
Jiangnan's eyes lit up: "So that means tonight only the three of us are left in the villa?"
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue exchanged glances, their faces slightly reddening!
"Yeah... you... are you planning to do something with this opportunity?"
Zhong Yingxue felt like her little heart was about to jump out of her throat!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "Of course! Opportunity is rare, so of course I want to do it! Otherwise, if the noise is too loud and Xiong Da and Xiong Er find out, how embarrassing would that be?"
Zhong Yingxue: (˵˃̵﹏˂̵˵)
Xia Yao: (⑉•ꇴ•⑉)
Both of them blushed at this moment!
Xia Yao's earlobes turned red, and her palms were sweating from nervousness!
H-Heavens!
Noise too loud? Does it have to be that intense?
Has Xiao Nan finally come to his senses? Is he preparing to...
Zhong Yingxue lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers, her eyelashes trembling: "B-But I haven't mentally prepared myself yet~"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Didn't you say you wanted to tutor me? What mental preparation do you need?"
If the tutoring noise is too loud and Xiong Da and Xiong Er hear it, how mortifying would that be?
As the big brother, how can I not be a good student? I need to set an example!
What about my dignity?
Zhong Yingxue opened her little mouth, staring at Jiangnan in shock, her pretty face like a red-hot iron, a puff of white smoke rising from her head!
She covered her face and ran upstairs with a thud-thud-thud!
"I... I'll go get the tutoring notes for you!"
Jiangnan scratched his head: "No need to rush! We haven't finished eating yet!"
Zhong Yingxue dove into her bed, covering her face with the blanket, completely red and exploding!
She thought Xiao Nan was going to...
Ahhh! So embarrassing!
"Da Lang Mie? Xuexue went to get the notes. You feed me, okay? I..."
She saw Xia Yao grinding her tiger teeth, pouncing like a wolf, grabbing Jiangnan by the neck of fate, and directly putting him in a strong-arm lock!
"Stinky Xiao Nan! Watch me tutor you all night! Make sure you can't even sleep!"
As she spoke, she relentlessly ground her chin against Jiangnan's crown!
Jiangnan's eyes rolled back from being choked—he could already feel the enthusiasm she had for tutoring him!
No need to be so forceful!
After dinner and cleaning up, Jiangnan returned to his room, while Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue went to prepare the tutoring notes!
Pioneer Academy holds ranking battles every semester!
Written exams combined with practical combat determine the year's rankings!
The top hundred in the year receive rewards—just like Xiao Zhen, who was first in the year for three consecutive years, receiving monthly spirit bead and contribution point rewards!
And this method also re-ranks the classes!
Jiangnan's current class is Class 10. After the ranking battle ends, the total rankings of all students in each class are added up. The class with the lowest total gets the highest position!
Classes ranked higher receive more cultivation resources each month!
This is a personal matter, but also a collective one!
Every student takes it seriously!
Jiangnan had no worries about the practical combat; the main concern was the written exam. He'd been slacking off outside for too long and had fallen behind on too many lessons!
He couldn't help but look forward to tonight's tutoring!
It was sure to be exceptionally exciting, right?
Jiangnan didn't idle either. During this time, he pulled out the griffin egg!
He hadn't fed it spiritual energy for several days, so he decided to feed it until it was full tonight!
Holding the egg, Jiangnan climbed into bed like a brooding hen, covered himself with the blanket, stuck his head out, and began channeling spiritual energy!
Suddenly, an incredibly strong absorption force burst forth, startling Jiangnan!
His entire body's spiritual energy was drained in just a few minutes. Jiangnan quickly ate durian pulp to replenish it!
He felt a bit guilty—look how hungry the little thing had gotten!
But half an hour passed, and the absorption of spiritual energy didn't stop; instead, it grew fiercer!
Moreover, the egg in his arms kept trembling, as if the little creature inside was constantly hitting the shell!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up with excitement!
Was it about to hatch?
After incubating for over a month, it was finally going to hatch?
How could Jiangnan dare to stop? He maintained his posture, continuously supplying spiritual energy!
Don't worry! Eat as much as you want!
I've got plenty of spiritual energy here!
At that moment, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao walked in carrying notes. Seeing Jiangnan brooding over the egg again, they couldn't help but laugh!
Jiangnan said seriously: "I might be about to give birth!"
The two exchanged glances, looking stunned. After a month of incubation, it was finally going to hatch?
They too were looking forward to the birth of the new life!
It had been so spiritual even before hatching—who knows what it would look like once it came out!
"Giggle~ Keep incubating, but you still need tutoring!"
"I'll go get the little stools!"
So the two brought little stools and sat by the bed, spreading the notes on the bed to tutor Jiangnan!
This tutoring session lasted all night!
The next morning, Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had already washed up and were ready to go to class, but Jiangnan was still incubating the egg!
"Aren't you going to class?"
"There are only a few days until the written exam. I can't afford to fall further behind!"
Jiangnan covered his face: "But I can't leave right now. Here it comes again! I felt it kick me again. It'll hatch soon!"
"You two go ahead. I'll figure something out!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had no choice but to head to the classroom first, thinking to themselves how tough incubating an egg was!
As soon as they entered the classroom, they were startled by what they saw and almost screamed!
There, floating above Jiangnan's seat, was a head!
It was Jiangnan, having opened a space wormhole to stick his head through!
A person at home incubating an egg, but a head attending class—how's that for dedication?
What kind of godly operation was this?
He'd mastered the space wormhole to the extreme!
The classmates in the classroom all looked at Jiangnan in horror!
"Damn~ The academy's unexplained incidents are about to have a sixth one!"
"Nan Shen? What's going on? Is your body cosplaying as Xing Tian?"
"Oh ho ho~ First day back and it's already this exciting? What's your body doing on the other side of the wormhole?"
"Haha, don't tell me you're doing something weird?"
Jiangnan pouted: "Vulgar! Your minds are rotten!"
"I'm in the middle of creating new life! I can't break away!"
"Ah~ It kicked me again!"
One sentence, and the classroom fell dead silent. The students all looked at Jiangnan in horror!
Was he really creating new life?
Was he this strong?
And he still came to class like this?
Such a love for learning?
It kicked you? Was it complaining that you weren't focused enough?
Oh my god!
Yu Qingqing pointed at Jiangnan, eyes wide!
(・᷄口・᷅๑)—☞
"Xuexue! Yaoyao! Aren't you two going to control Nan Shen? He... how can he do this in front of you two..."
Xia Yao was stunned: "Creating new life is very important! I support Xiao Nan!"
Zhong Yingxue nodded: "Exactly! Xiao Nan working so hard to create new life—I need to make him some good food to nourish his body!"
At this moment, all the male classmates were dumbfounded, looking at Jiangnan like he was a god!
A god is a god!
This still works?
How did you even manage that?
Leng Yan covered her face: "Trash Nan! Ptooey!"
