Immediately, Dong Yaxian was the first to react. She stared at Feng Yuqin in disbelief. "What did you just say? The mother of the child?"
"You're married?" Zhao Yuanyuan also widened her eyes.
Looking at their identical expressions, Feng Yuqin thought that if they didn't act like a couple saying the same thing in unison, no one would believe it.
"Yeah, I'm married. The child is over three years old," Feng Yuqin said.
"No... It can't be," Zhao Yuanyuan didn't expect such an outcome.
Dong Yaxian opened her mouth in shock. Even Shi Zhenxiang, who had been whining and crying beside them, stopped sobbing.
People nearby who heard Feng Yuqin's words also looked over in surprise.
It was really hard to tell that Feng Yuqin had a child over three years old.
After all, Feng Yuqin was only 21 years old at most.
Wouldn't that mean she got married and had a child as a teenager?
In their Divine Realm, many women didn't get married until they were over 25.
For example, Dong Yaxian and the others were all in their twenties, but many of them still didn't have partners.
Yet Feng Yuqin, who was much younger than them, already had a child.
"Time's up. Those participating in the challenge can step onto the Gravity Stairs," a voice rang out, instantly diverting everyone's attention.
Hearing this, Shi Zhenxiang stopped crying. "Cousin, let's quickly find people to form a team."
Both the Shi and He families were major forces in the Divine Realm. So when they invited others to form a team, quite a few people agreed, considering the influence of their families.
"We can form a team, right?" Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian looked at Feng Yuqin eagerly.
"Can't we go alone?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"It might be a bit tough if we go alone," Zhao Yuanyuan thought for a moment. "So let's form a team together."
Feng Yuqin hesitated for a moment. "Let's go."
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian's eyes lit up and they immediately followed.
At the bottom of the stairs, everyone was in a relatively relaxed state.
For fairness, the footage of Feng Yuqin and the others' challenge would be synchronized to the big screen in the academy as soon as it started.
Those who registered and entered the academy could see the footage of their challenge.
Since everyone was quite relaxed at the beginning, not many people paid attention.
Moreover, Feng Yuqin was still wearing a veil, so these people couldn't see her appearance.
Coupled with the fact that some people around had just learned that Feng Yuqin was already married, even fewer people paid attention to her.
Feng Yuqin didn't know what these people were thinking.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian didn't have the time to care either.
Because their attention was all on Feng Yuqin at the moment.
"Feng Yuqin, is your child a boy or a girl?" Dong Yaxian and Zhao Yuanyuan walked on either side of Feng Yuqin.
Apart from meeting good friends like Meng Xingyu and Dongfang Zhi in the Tianyuan Continent at the beginning, Feng Yuqin had hardly had any friends since she came to the Xuanyu Realm.
She didn't expect that she would meet people like Meng Xingyu who would chatter around her in the Divine Realm.
So she actually felt as if she had returned to the time when she had just crossed over.
"It should be a girl. Feng Yuqin is so good - looking. It must be a girl," Zhao Yuanyuan said.
Feng Yuqin gave him a speechless look. "I've wanted to ask you guys for a while. I haven't shown my face. How did you tell that I'm good - looking?"
Hearing this, their eyes lit up. "You're really very good - looking."
Feng Yuqin couldn't help but laugh and cry. "So you defined me as good - looking without knowing what I look like before?"
"Your eyes are beautiful," Dong Yaxian said. "How could someone with such beautiful eyes not be good - looking?"
"What if I have a birthmark or a scar on my face, which is why I'm wearing a veil?" Feng Yuqin retorted.
"That would still be good - looking. Just based on these eyes, it would be enough to outshine everything," Zhao Yuanyuan added.
Feng Yuqin: "..."
Well, these two were both quite stubborn.
Most importantly, they were very determined in their thoughts.
Once they made up their minds about something, they wouldn't easily change it.
They were commonly known as people who were easily influenced and had no opinions of their own.
"So is your child a boy or a girl?" Dong Yaxian asked curiously.
"Both," Feng Yuqin's words shocked Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian.
Dong Yaxian exclaimed, "So you gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
"Maybe you had two children in over three years," Zhao Yuanyuan said.
But Feng Yuqin didn't answer anymore.
Zhao Yuanyuan and Dong Yaxian also didn't ask about this topic again.
It was enough to know that there was a boy and a girl.
Then when they looked up, they found that Shi Zhenxiang, He Tianyu and the others had left them far behind.
Even other people had walked in front of them.
The three of them were at the back.
At first, others didn't think much of it. But gradually, when they noticed the large distance between Feng Yuqin and the others and the rest, some people began to mock.
"Isn't that Zhao Yuanyuan from the Zhao family and Dong Yaxian from the Dong family?"
"Yes, it's them. But I don't know who that person beside them is."
"I know. I heard just now. Her name is Feng Yuqin. I heard her strength is at the Celestial Immortal Realm."
"Impossible. Just looking at her bone age, she's only 21. How could she reach the Celestial Immortal Realm?"
"Exactly. It's said that Zhao Yuanyuan and the others delayed their cultivation due to some things and their current strength is only at the Earthly Yuan Realm. Where did this woman come from? How could she have the strength of the Celestial Immortal Realm?"
"We'll know if she's at the Celestial Immortal Realm or not when we watch the challenge later."
"This staircase will take two or three hours. This period is just the time for placing bets. We can go and place bets."
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this. Let's go. First, go and place bets." There was a special place for placing bets beside the academy.
Some people went to place bets on those they favored. Others planned to wait and see.
Because there was a sign for the betting time.
When they reached the halfway point, the Gravity Stairs would show that no more bets could be placed.
So some people planned to decide on their bets when they were almost at the halfway point.
After all, some people might do well at the beginning but fail later.
"We're so far behind. I'm afraid no one will bet on us to win," Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly sighed.
"Bet? What bet?" Although Feng Yuqin had learned about the Divine Realm from Mo Xuanye.
But the Divine Realm was so vast, including the time in the Nine Heavens.
In less than two days, she couldn't have a comprehensive understanding.
She almost only knew the important parts. For things like betting, she had no idea.
"Eh, don't you know?" Dong Yaxian asked in surprise when she heard Feng Yuqin's question.
"Should I know?" Feng Yuqin retorted.
