Capítulo 621: Chapter 419: Jiang Xuan’s Child
Vine Tribe, Year 23, February 2nd.
After more than three years of reform and construction, the developnt of the Vine Tribe has once again found its track, and the entire tribe is bursting with vitality.
Jiang Xuan finally had so ti to rest.
Even after the New Year’s Great High Priest ceremony, the tribespeople and visitors from external tribes continued celebrating and reveling.
As night fell, Jiang Xuan took Qing Ye to the small bamboo courtyard.
As soon as he closed the door, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but scoop up Qing Ye and stride towards the room.
They hadn’t seen each other the entire winter. Finally eting each other, how could they resist?
However, just as he laid Qing Ye down on the bed, she smiled and pushed him away, stopping his next move.
Jiang Xuan wondered, “What’s wrong? Is today inconvenient?”
Qing Ye pointed to her belly and said shyly, “The Witch said I’m pregnant.”
When Jiang Xuan heard this, his entire body suddenly trembled, and even his breathing beca rapid.
“You… What did you say?”
Qing Ye took Jiang Xuan’s hand, placing it gently on her belly, whispering in his ear, “We’re having a child, Xuan, you’ll soon be a father.”
“I… I’m going to be a father…”
Jiang Xuan crouched down, using his trembling hands to gently caress Qing Ye’s obviously swollen belly, feeling dazed and as if he were in the clouds.
Since crossing over, though he had Chi Shao as a sister, he was ultimately still lonely. No matter how grand the tribe’s developnt, there was always an indefinable divide between him and this world.
He was like a lone boat on the sea; capable of surviving, yet unable to find an anchor, unable to find a place where his heart could settle.
However, when he learned he was going to have a child, that invisible barrier suddenly vanished.
He felt as if he had instantly found an anchor, found… a true ho.
“I… I’m going to have a child, I’m going to have a child… I’m going to have a child, hahaha…”
Initially, Jiang Xuan’s voice was small, as quiet as a mosquito. But as the joy in his heart grew stronger, his voice grew louder, eventually he was laughing out loud like a madman.
Qing Ye did not stop him; instead, she gently embraced him with a touch of tenderness, sharing this rare joy together.
…
In another small courtyard amidst the bamboo forest.
Chi Shao, grinding herbs, heard Jiang Xuan’s laughter. She paused for a mont, then a smile slowly spread across her face like ripples.
“Xuan is finally going to have a child; that’s wonderful.”
Chi Shao thought for a mont, cleaning out all the herbs from the mortar, washing it several tis, drying it, and then selecting a few precious herbs for grinding.
This ti, she was grinding the best prenatal dicine.
Chi Shao even started considering asking the Vine God to bless the child, so he could grow up healthy and happy.
…
Ti flew by, and three months passed.
On a rainy night in May, with a loud cry, Jiang Xuan’s first child was born into the world amidst the pouring rain.
Chi Shao personally delivered the child, washing him clean, then wrapping the baby snugly in a soft spider silk quilt and deer skin before showing him to Qing Ye and Jiang Xuan.
Chi Shao bead, “Qing Ye, Xuan, congratulations, it’s a boy. Give him a na.”
Qing Ye gazed lovingly at the child before turning to Jiang Xuan, “Xuan, I’m not good at naming, you do it.”
Jiang Xuan nodded, pondered briefly, and said, “He was born in the rainy season, linked to water, which nurtures all life, benefiting all beings, so let’s call him Ze.”
Qing Ye nodded, “Ze, a good na. It reminds of our experiences at Black Water Swamp. Perfect, Ze it is.”
The two reached a consensus, exchanged smiles, and thus finalized their first child’s na.
Jiang Xuan took the child from Chi Shao, feeling both joyful and nervous, his hands shaking for fear that such a tiny being could be hard by his strength.
Chi Shao bowed towards the direction of the Divine Vine, requesting, “This child is the future hope of our Vine Tribe. Please, Vine God, bless Ze.”
“Alright…”
The Vine God readily agreed to Chi Shao’s request, and in the rain, a tender green vine descended from the sky, entering through the window and hovering above the child’s forehead.
“Drip…”
A drop of green Divine Liquid fell onto the child’s forehead, quickly forming the Vine Tribe’s Totem Pattern, glowing with vibrant green light and emitting a strong life force.
The child, who had been asleep, opened his eyes and smiled brightly, reaching out his tiny hands playfully towards the Divine Vine.
The Divine Vine seed to favor the child, softening its green vine to let the child play for a while before withdrawing.
All three said in unison, “Thank you for the Vine God’s blessing.”
After the Vine God retreated, Chi Shao smiled at Jiang Xuan and Qing Ye, “With the Vine God’s blessing, the child can safely weather any danger and grow strong.”
Jiang Xuan and Qing Ye exchanged smiles and thanked Chi Shao.
The next day, news of Jiang Xuan’s child’s birth spread quickly throughout the Vine Tribe, even reaching the Mountain Turtle Tribe, Ant Tribe, and other affiliated tribes.
Soon, countless gifts poured into Jiang Xuan’s courtyard like falling snow, piling high.
Purple Eagle Tang Yuan flew off, capturing a Giant-toothed Beast to celebrate the birth of the little master.
Black Wind Rhinoceros Crescent ventured deep into the jungles to find a miraculous plant granting special powers for the little master.
As for Gou Teng, Shi Qiu, Nan Xing, Jing Jie, Dong Kui, Feng Chao, and others, they all offered the finest gifts they could.
Even the Old Witch crafted a beast hair brush for Jiang Xuan’s child.
This child nad “Ze” grew day by day, basking in much love, becoming a mber of the Vine Tribe.
However, Qing Ye did not stay in the Vine Tribe indefinitely.
When the child turned one, Qing Ye entrusted him to Chi Shao and others, then bit her lip and left the Vine Tribe, returning to the Crocodile Tribe to lead the expedition teams again.
She was a woman of strong personality and clear goals. Though she missed her child dearly and loved him, she had more important matters to attend to:
Fulfilling her promise and completely transforming the Crocodile Tribe!
This was her obsession.
To achieve this aim, she had to sacrifice so ti with her child, striving hard for greater support from others.
So matters are like that; one can never have it all.
To gain sothing, inevitably, sothing must be sacrificed.
…
Peaceful days always passed swiftly. In the blink of an eye, three years had gone by.
When Ze reached three years old, he began to reveal his exceptional nature.
Under the instruction of Chi Shao, Ze learned a great deal about herbs, even mastering so Witch Scripts. His talent even astonished the Old Witch.
Along with displaying extraordinary learning abilities, his mischievous antics also beca troubleso.
At rely three years old, he often sneaked off to ride fierce birds, sotis attempting to ride giant dragonflies, causing Jiang Xuan to flare with anger, wanting to bind and spank him.
To prevent him from going astray or facing danger, Jiang Xuan had to spend a great deal of ti teaching and supervising him.
Though exhausting, the experience also brought Jiang Xuan imnse joy and unforgettable mories.
This child gradually beca his most solid anchor in this world.
