"Mother, I'm not a child. With your strength, you can stay awake for half a year without collapsing!" Shi Min said, his anger barely contained. His eyes blazed with frustration as he paced the room. "Mom, did you visit Paps?"

Ling Li's eyes darted away, guilt written all over her face. "Oh, that… yeah…" she admitted guiltily, her voice barely above a whisper.

"And you should know you are pregnant! Flying is the last thing you should have done!" Shi Min scolded his mother, his voice rising with each word. He clenched his fists, trying to keep his emotions in check.

"Who said I'm pregnant?!" Ling Li retorted, disbelief and irritation evident in her voice. Her eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms defensively.

Shi Min waved the ultrasound report he printed in front of her mother.

"Mom, you've been neglecting yourself. You should have realized this on your own." Shi Min's voice softened, a hint of concern creeping in.

Indeed, martial artists are acutely aware and sensitive to their bodies. If they want to know if something is wrong or if they have undergone any changes, they can easily detect it.

"And Mom, since when did you become a multiple-baby producer?" Shi Min teased with a chuckle, trying to lighten the mood.

Ling Li's eyes widened in shock. "What do you mean? I transformed myself into a pig?! You brat! And what do you mean by the multiple-baby producer?" she retorted, half-annoyed, half-amused.

"Mom, you have three babies in your womb. Add another two, and we can form a basketball team!" Shi Min joked, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

Ling Li snatched the ultrasound result from Shi Min's hand and examined it. She was stunned. "Indeed, I'm having triplets," she chuckled, the reality sinking in. Her eyes softened as she placed a hand on her belly.

"Mom, no one from our family has had multiple babies, but you've managed it twice!" Shi Min exclaimed with amusement, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Oh, that… your Paps has the genes. His father was a triplet, but the other two died because of their black magic," Ling Li explained, her voice tinged with sadness.

"Now, I understand," Shi Min replied, finally putting the pieces together. He placed a comforting hand on his mother's shoulder.

"Mom, I have finished my task here. We can go back to Russia so you can rest well. Dane and Wushen can finish the rest," Shi Min said, his voice determined.

"Oh, you Paps and the rest will be out of the Mystic Mountain in two days. Otako informed me last night," Ling Li said, her eyes lighting up with hope.

"Otako informed you? Did you meet with Otako?" Shi Min asked, his curiosity piqued.

"No, he sent me a message. Here." Ling Li took out her phone and showed Shi Min a text message in Greek.

"And you have Otako's phone number?" Shi Min asked, raising an eyebrow.

"How can I not? Of course I do. But it is not that I could call or message Otako at any time? I'm not that brave," Ling Li said, while Shi Min narrowed his eyes while looking at her mother.

"Hmmm, I see. Stay here, and finish your nutrients. Your glucose and hemoglobin are too low. It's not good for my siblings," Shi Min chuckled as he said this to her mother. "I don't want my brothers to blame me if they come out malnourished. Ha ha ha!"

"Oh, you are hoping to have three brothers," Ling Li said, a smile tugging at her lips.

"Yeah, it's so boring to be surrounded by all the girls," Shi Min replied, rolling his eyes playfully.

"You!" Ling Li exclaimed, swatting at him lightly.

"I was just joking, Mom," Shi Min replied playfully. Mom, when do you plan to make your relationship with Paps official? Now that you are carrying another set of children, maybe you should consider it," Shi Min said, his tone turning serious.

"Son, you are truly very thoughtful. Indeed, I should make plans. What do you think if we arrange the wedding on the same day as the twins' first birthday?" Ling Li suggested, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"This could be a big double celebration. I think this could work," Shi Min agreed, nodding.

"Yes, then help me plan the wedding. Oh, and can you keep my pregnancy a secret first? I will announce it during the wedding," Ling Li said, her voice filled with anticipation.

"Sure thing, Mom, I can help you with this, but Ren and Lily would truly be happy to prepare the wedding for you," Shi Min said, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Yeah, it's only a couple of weeks away. Those two can definitely do a lot. But please assist them too," Ling Li said, her voice filled with gratitude.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will arrange a team to handle it, Ren and Lily can supervise," Shi Min assured her, his voice filled with confidence.

"Shi Min, thank you," Ling Li said, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Oh, come on, Mom, why are you so cheesy?" Shi Min whined, "You will make me cry, ha ha ha!"

"Mom, stay here and rest. I will bring you dinner after a while. Let's leave in two days. We pick up Paps and the rest and go home," Shi Min said, his voice filled with determination.

"Sure, son," Ling Li replied, her heart swelling with pride.

Shi Min left the infirmary, his footsteps echoing down the hallway as the door closed behind him, Mushu and Pharsa entered the room, their expressions a mix of concern and frustration.

"Ling Li, how could you make yourself collapse?" Pharsa reprimanded, her voice laced with worry and irritation. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at Ling Li. She had been patrolling the camp when Ling Li returned, and she was truly worried when she heard Ling Li collapse.

"Okay, stop it. My son has already scolded me a lot," Ling Li responded, her voice weary but resolute. She took a deep breath and continued, "We will be busy for a while. I will marry Chu Yan on the same day as the twins' first birthday. I will ask the children to arrange the wedding."
