Su Jingyang had just recovered from the shock of pregnancy, and was floored by this news again.

Twins? ? He was pregnant with two? No wonder that dog system laughed so crazily two days ago! Su Jingyang held his stomach and began to feel distressed. It would be even harder to entrust Ling Li with twins if this really was true. It seems... he really could only find a stepfather.

Su Jingyang quietly raised his eyes and looked at Rong Ci, he found that although his eyes were calm and his expression wasn't very expressive, it could be seen that he wasn't in a good mood.

Su Jingyang pursed his lips and decided to not provoke him.

"Oh right, Rong Ci." Su Jingyang asked, suddenly remembering something, "How long will it take for Ah-Xuan to get better this time?"

Seven days ago, Ah-Xuan was sent to Rongcheng to continue his treatment by Ming Zhan, but Rong Ci said that they had to exceed the one-month period, Ah-Xuan had to stay with Grand Wizard a little longer and couldn't leave the temple.

Su Jingyang once quietly squatted down at the entrance of the temple, and the lighting inside was dim, and from time to time there was a soft ringing of bells. Ah-Xuan and the wizard were facing each other, both sitting cross-legged on the futon. The little guy was very well-behaved, not being rowdy or making trouble. The wizard would ask a simple question every other moment, and Ah-Xuan would answer it cleverly, speaking clearly and smoothly.

At first, Su Jingyang thought that Grand Wizard was just using a mysterious technique, but he didn't think it was as simple as that. He watched for a long time and didn't see any mystery, so he quietly left with Rong Ci.

Rong Ci thought for a while and replied: "Depending on the situation, it may take about five days." 

"Five days..." Su Jingyang suddenly became sad. Only Ah-Xuan was sent this time, he didn't even see a shadow of Ah-Li. Ming Zhan must've brought him back to Jincheng, Ah-Xuan would definitely be also taken back from Rongcheng after he's cured. He didn't know if they could have any chance of meeting again in the future, alas!

Early the next morning, the doctor came routinely to diagnose Su Jingyang's pulse. The doctor's name was Li Yin, he was very young and easy-going, Su Jingyang became acquainted with him during this period of time. When he had doubts in his heart, he asked directly: "Doctor Li, why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

Li Yin knew what he was referring to and smiled: "Because I'm wasn't sure yet, I wanted to wait until they were a little more developed but the City Lord insisted, so I had to say it." 

Su Jingyang suddenly understood. Li Yin said, "By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. You're pregnant with twins, you must be a really blessed person." 

Su Jingyang only gave a dry laugh. For him, this isn't worthy of congratulations, nor blessings.

Li Yin stared at Su Jingyang's face for a moment and then sighed, he said, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I saw the City Lord be so happy in many years now. After you get married, maybe we can have a city-wide celebration. Maybe things can get more prosperous then."

Excited? Su Jingyang suspected that he had misheard, "Are you saying that after Rong Ci heard the news from you... he looked happy?"

Li Yin nodded, "Naturally happy, whether for him or Rongcheng, it's a great joy. "

Su Jingyang reluctantly laughed. It seemed that Rong Ci intended to declare that this child as his flesh and blood. He was overjoyed, huh? Acting that out must've been very hard... Su Jingyang suddenly felt a little guilt in his heart and wanted to touch pet that dogman's head.

However, Su Jingyang didn't understand, "Why is it a great joy for Rongcheng?"

If someone said this, Su Jingyang would only treat him as a flamboyant compliment, but Li Yin was a no-nonsense kind of person, he wouldn't say useless and idle talk. Hearing this question, Li Yin seemed to be a little surprised, he raised his eyebrows, "The City Lord never told you?"

Su Jingyang shook his head, and Li Yin patiently explained to him. Su Jingyang scratched his ears and cheeks and finally figured it out—it turned out to be like this: the luck and energy of everyone in Rongcheng came from a mountain called Wuqun Mountain. To put it simply, the reason why the people of Rongcheng have some supernatural abilities was related to this magical mountain. If the energy on this mountain weakens or disappears, their lives would also be greatly affected.

In recent years, the energy on Wuqun Mountain has gradually become weaker. The abilities of the ordinary wizards, psychics, dream masters, and telekinetic masters of the Rong Clan have been reduced. Recently, the number of newborns in the city also dropped sharply, the reduction in food production was also related to the weakening of this energy.

The most important thing was that the fortress of Rongcheng, the magical array that defends against foreign enemies, would also be greatly weakened. Time was short, there'll be no problems short term, but in the long run, internal and external troubles will eventually lead to bad consequences.

"If there's insufficient energy in Wuqun Mountain, there's only one way to replenish it, and that is, to rely on the powerful power of the patriarch's descents to fill it, but..." Li Yin realized something and stopped suddenly.

Su Jingyang could now fully understand that Wuqun Mountain was equivalent to a large router. People needed to be connected to the internet to maintain their normal lives. If the signal was weak, they will be greatly affected. The Rong patriarch's descents were equivalent to renewing the network fee or getting a hot spot, in any case, it'll ensure that the people of Rongcheng can always surf the Internet.

Seeing that Li Yin stop talking, Su Jingyang asked, "--but what?"

Li Yinwang looked at Su Jingyang's big, eager eyes thirsty for knowledge. He first shook his head, and then smiled silently, he tapped his fingers on the desk twice. "It's fine, this matter has been spread by the old matriach, even if I don't say it, you'll still hear about it in the future."

He paused and then continued: "In fact, the old matriarch misrepresented a sentence from Grand Wizard, saying that Lord City Lord was destined to have no heirs in this life. The people of Rongcheng became panicked when they heard this, afraid that the next City Lord will not be able to succeed the throne. But now, you're pregnant with the blood of the Rong family, and with two no less. Wuqun Mountain will have no worries about energy, say, isn't this a great event for Rongcheng?"
