Sang Luo’s face was beaded with sweat from the pain. She bit down hard on Lou Xianyue’s firm, slender arm, but even the faint taste of blood did little to ease her suffering.
Fei Yuan and Si Ye quickly rushed to the delivery room.
"Luoluo!" Si Ye saw Sang Luo lying pale on the bed, his mind going so blank with anxiety that he couldn’t utter a single word.
Fei Yuan, who had experience delivering a baby once before, was much calr. He imdiately went to her and fed her a Painless Pill.
The excruciating pain finally disappeared.
"...Next ti, pull that out sooner," Sang Luo said weakly.
"All dicine has its side effects. A Painless Pill only lasts for two hours, and you can only take one a day. Otherwise, it will harm your body and do more harm than good."
Fei Yuan, now changed into a set of casual gray-blue clothes, said to Lou Xianyue and Si Ye, "You two should go outside for now. Too many people will distract Little Luoruo and make her nervous. I’ll stay and deliver the baby. It will be quick."
"Okay, okay. Call if you need anything." Si Ye gave her a pained look, nodded absently, and went outside to wait.
Lou Xianyue squeezed her hand, feeling both joyful and distressed. "After this one, we’re not having any more."
"But I want to give you a few more beautiful Little rmaids."
He shook his head. "I would rather be the one giving birth than let you suffer like this again."
His words made Sang Luo laugh. "Maybe in the next life, I’ll be a male and you’ll be a female. Then you can give lots and lots of Little rmaids."
Lou Xianyue chuckled. "Alright."
Another contraction seized Sang Luo’s abdon. Though the pain was blocked, the physical sensation remained, making her instinctively frown and let out a couple of low cries.
Fei Yuan imdiately covered her with a blanket. "Alright, I know Little Luoruo and the Sea Emperor share a deep love, but save the sentintal talk for after the birth. Focus on delivering the baby now. And I must ask the Sea Emperor to wait outside."
Lou Xianyue kissed her sweaty forehead and said softly, "I’ll be right outside with you and the baby."
Only after he got up and left did Sang Luo’s tense nerves finally relax. She gave Fei Yuan a grateful look.
’The ssy and embarrassing state of being pregnant isn’t sothing I really want my Beast Husbands to see.’ She knew they didn’t mind, but she couldn’t help feeling instinctively nervous.
’As for Fei Yuan... well, he’s already delivered one of my babies.’ She had an "in for a penny, in for a pound" attitude about it and didn’t mind him as much.
In fact, back when Sang Luo was pregnant with Little Blue Eucalyptus, Lou Xianyue had delivered the baby for her once. She had just been unconscious from the pain at the ti and didn’t know, assuming it was a witch doctor who had helped her.
Fei Yuan brought over a basin of hot water and sat by the bed, gently wiping the cold sweat from her face. He sighed and murmured, "Every ti I deliver a baby for you, not a single one of them is mine. I’m truly both happy and sad."
"Next ti, I’ll definitely have one for you. I promise!"
Fei Yuan smiled. "Little liar."
Seeing the contractions in her abdon grow stronger, his expression gradually turned serious. He stood up, walked to the foot of the bed, and gathered a ball of pale red energy in his palm before reaching under the covers. "Don’t get distracted. Push."
"Nnngh..."
An unknown amount of ti passed before Sang Luo let out a soft cry. Her abdon suddenly felt empty; sothing had co out.
Outside the door, Lou Xianyue’s heart seized. He imdiately looked toward the room, his eyes flooding with a tidal wave of ecstasy, so thrilled he could hardly breathe.
’The baby’s born!’
Soon, Fei Yuan’s voice ca from within the room. "You can co in."
Lou Xianyue strode into the room and saw Fei Yuan wiping the blood from the amniotic sac around the Little rmaid. He gently placed her in a swaddle and handed her to Sang Luo on the bed.
Sang Luo’s constitution was much stronger than before, so she didn’t pass out from the pain of childbirth this ti. Still, her body was inevitably weak, and her vision was dim. The Little rmaid was still encased in a translucent mbrane, making it hard to see her clearly, but Sang Luo could vaguely make out a very beautiful, pinkish-blue Little rmaid...
"I’ll go brew so dicine to replenish your qi and blood."
Fei Yuan turned to leave with a pan of bloodied materials and ran right into the approaching Lou Xianyue.
Lou Xianyue quickly reached out. "Let ."
"It’s a small matter, no need. Go see her and the baby."
Any Male Beast would know how sacred and exciting this mont was for a Beast Father. Both Fei Yuan and Si Ye had a tacit understanding not to intrude.
Lou Xianyue walked to the bedside. Seeing the weakened Sang Luo, his heart ached so much he wished he could carve off his own flesh to replenish her strength.
"Quick, look at the baby. It should be an adorable little female cub," Sang Luo said, holding the Little rmaid in her arms out to him.
Lou Xianyue took the swaddled baby and looked, smiling. "Yes, it’s a female cub. I never thought I’d have a female cub in my lifeti..." He said gratefully, "Sang’er, I wish I could break my life in two and give it all to you."
"Nonsense. I’m not a Fierce Ghost or a grim reaper, what would I do with your life? I just need you to live well and not let our two children lose their birth father at such a young age." Thinking of the last incident, Sang Luo shot him a reproachful look.
Lou Xianyue shook his head. "From now on, my life is for you alone. All duties must be set aside when it cos to you and the children."
Only then did Sang Luo smile. She held out her pinky finger. "Then~ let’s pinky promise. You’re not allowed to hide things from or lie to anymore."
"...You’ve been around the children too long. You’ve beco as childish as they are."
But Lou Xianyue still extended his pinky to make the promise. They hooked their fingers, then pressed their thumbs together tightly.
Lou Xianyue gazed at their joined hands, no longer able to contain his surging emotions. He pulled her into his arms for a gentle kiss.
After the embrace, he reluctantly let her go and picked up the newborn Little rmaid. "Sang’er, I have to leave for a few more days to return to the South Sea and settle the baby."
Sang Luo knew that rfolk young were naturally weak and needed to return to the South Sea to slumber for a year or so before they could hatch and awaken. She nodded in understanding. "Go on, then. Don’t miss the right ti."
After Lou Xianyue left, Sang Luo took out a few Beast Crystals from her Qiankun Bag and ate them. She then quickly activated her Healing Technique, and the trauma to her body rapidly healed.
After resting for a while, she finally had a mont to examine the two new Talent Skills that had appeared within her.
[Talent Ability: Invincible True Fire] [Talent Ability: Word Spirit Blessing]
Sang Luo already had quite a bit of Fire Talent Power within her body.
She could only inherit ten percent from her mates and cubs each ti, but the cumulative strength of her fire abilities was not to be underestimated. As for this Invincible True Fire, she couldn’t yet see anything special about it.
What intrigued her more was this baby’s second Talent Skill.
Fei Yuan ca in with the dicine and saw she was alone in the room. "The Sea Emperor left?"
"Yes. Newborn rfolk cubs need to return to the sea. He went back to settle the baby and will be back in a couple of days."
"Perfect. I’ll take care of you then."
Sang Luo asked Fei Yuan, "Do you know what the Talent Skill ’Word Spirit Blessing’ is? Is it for bestowing blessings on others?"
Fei Yuan paused. "This baby’s Talent Ability?"
"Yes."
"During the early stages of your pregnancy, I used my Spiritual Power and sensed that this child was unusual. It turns out she has awakened an extrely special Dao Destiny Talent Law." Fei Yuan placed the dicine on the table, sat by the bed, and explained, "A Dao Destiny Talent Law can be as weak as a useless chicken rib or as strong as to be unrivaled. It is the most unpredictable of all. If Cultivation of it reaches its peak, it can even nullify the divine powers of heaven and earth."
