After the fight with Jiang Cheng, Wei Ying stumbled back to the Demon-Slaughtering Cave. His left hand was placed over his lower abdomen where he got stabbed by Sandu. Wen Qing saw how weak Wei Ying was and helped him lay down.
"Let me get these robes off so I can assess the wound," She told him, "I have some medical supplies for the moment. Maybe we can find some way to make money to get more."
"Just do what you need to, but do little," he told her, "you know how weak my body is now."
"That purple bastard stabbed you and he has your core. I should go find him and rip it out of him," Wen Qing scolded.
After removing his robes to him only in his trousers, Wen Qing couldn't help but notice something off about his body. For it being so thin, why does he have a bump in his belly? Wen Qing grabbed his arm to check his pulse...she found it completely impossible but Wei Ying managed to make it possible.
"A'Ying, did you know you can get pregnant?" She asked him.
...
Everyone started at the screen in shock, and all blinked in unison. They all looked at Wei Wuxian. Even Baoshan didn't know this information as she skipped over it before.
"Ugh...surprise," Wei Ying said.
"So what? You had a baby in the burial mounds?" Jiang Cheng asked and then panicked, "and I stabbed you when you were pregnant!!!"
Lan Zhan shut his eyes to try to calm himself from hearing him say that, "just continue to watch. More questions will be answered as you do," Lan Zhan managed to say.
...
Wei Wuxian sat up quickly, "what?" He asked, "pregnant?"
"Let me ask you, did you perform that intimate deed, and when if you did?" She asked.
Wei Ying blushed, "if...and I am saying if...I did...I would say almost three weeks ago. I only remember as it happened the night before Qiongqi."
"It's very, very rare, but some male cultivators carry the gene to get pregnant... and you carry that gene... though it is normally a one time pregnancy."
"So I'm pregnant... with a baby?" Wei Ying asked, "I'm a mortal being now...carrying a cultivator's baby. Do I still follow the cultivators pregnancy calendar?"
"Well mortals are nine months but cultivators are four months," Wen Qing explained, "though you don't have a core, your body still carries spiritual energy, so you potentially follow the cultivators calendar...we will have to keep an eye on that...also...the other person...do I dare ask?"
Wei Ying sighed, "I have to tell him, don't I?"
"It might be a good idea, we can barely hold off in the mounds already. Now that you are pregnant, it will be even harder to manage...so hopefully if you were to tell your partner, they may be reasonable and help," she explained.
"What if they are from a very prominent and righteous sect, who's robes resemble mourning clothes and have cloud motif patterns?" Wei Ying asked, "would it still be a good idea?"
Wen Qing's eyes widened as she had an idea who that other person may be, "is it Second Master Lan Wangji?" She asked.
Wei Ying nodded as he swallowed a large amount of saliva, "should I still tell him?"
...
"Well you're a father now," Lan Xichen stated with a chuckle.
He was the only one who managed to break the silence. Others were still trying to process the fact that Wei Ying could get pregnant. Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren knew of this long ago. They just didn't want to believe it. The resemblance of them radiated off of the boys now.
...
"He is the father, so he has a right to know...he has an heir-to-come," she explained to him.
"Is it only one?" Wei Ying asked, "or can you not tell? And I was just stabbed! Is the baby okay?"
"Let me examine you," she said, "lay down."
Wei Ying did as she said and dropped his left arm over his face, "what do I do?" Wei Ying asked trying not to panic.
"Because you potentially have three and a half months left, we need to keep you healthy as much as possible, with what we have," she said, "I know it may not be what you want, but you have to tell Lan Wangji...if he is righteous and just, and cares for you, I'm sure he'd help you."
"I know," Wei Ying said, "but I haven't seen him since I let my temper explode in Koi Tower at Lanling."
"They deserved it," she said mockingly.
Wei Ying smiled, "so is the child okay?"
"Well feeling around, I could actually feel two bodies," she told him calmly.
Wei Ying was no longer breathing and his brain flatlined, 'two! As in, Twins!'
"A'Ying, you're not breathing you know," she informed him.
Wei Ying took in a deep breath as Wen Qing patched up his stab wound, "how should I tell him?"
"Calmly and slowly," she said, "also have patience as he may need a moment to think about it...in the meantime, I will look through my things to find a medical book on male pregnancies...I have it somewhere."
"You just, casually have one of those books?" Wei Ying asked.
"I have a lot of medical books," she informed him, "as a medical professional, I need to be knowledgeable with as much as I can."
"Also, my bones? The resentment? Will that affect them? If you are so sure it's twins," Wei Ying asked.
"You just have to not overworked yourself and no heavy lifting... I will check you daily to keep an eyes on the resentful energy. If anything, you carry full yin energy and Lan Wangji carries full Yang energy... they could be balanced with both energies... but they could also be corrupted," she informed, "we have to keep an eye on it. Keep you relaxed and your mind clear."
"Lan Zhan, okay something to calm the mind!" Wei Ying yelled, "sorry he isn't here right now."
Wen Qing shook her head and rolled her eyes at his playful nature. At least he was in a happy mood, not too upset at all.
...
Lan Zhan laughed, "I wish I heard you say that," he teased.
Jingyi and Sizhui were quiet. They didn't know how to respond to the information but they also wanted to speak with Lan Zhan and Wei Ying alone.
...
Wei Ying put in a set of fresh robes, "I know I have a wound, but I still want to go to Yiling and get some supplies," he said to Wen Qing, "I'll try to get what I can...and I promise to be careful."
"First priority, try to find some pregnancy supplements. You need one as it will help you get through the rest of the pregnancy...though it might cost you a bit more as they are not that cheap," she explained, "try to get seeds as well...preferably radish or turnip seeds as they grow better in this type of environment."
Wei Ying nodded, "try not to overwork or do heavy lifting huh?" He asked teasing.
"Do you want to have a taste of my needles?" She threatened.
"No," he said trembling a little.
"Also, no alcohol!" She yelled.
"Really? For four months?" Wei Ying moped.
"Don't complain, it was you who opened your legs in the first place," she scolded.
Wei Ying looked at her and blinked, "don't say anything like that again. That was weird."
"Well, how else do you think it-"
"I'm leaving!" He interrupted her not wanting to continue that embarrassing conversation.
