328 Take a life

lanced back.The entrance to the underground stairs, faintly shrouded in black mist... This place isn't simple.When I was dragged out of the side door of this business center, I couldn't help but look...Open your eyes What are you doing I'm in so much pain, I think I'm going to faint...

His eyes conveyed a chilling touch, his lips brushing repeatedly against hers, he whispered in a low voice: "Open your eyes."

I strained to lift my eyelids, his face inches from mine.

There were other people in the house, but it was eerily quiet. I stared blankly into his eyes, captivated by the raging fire within them.

"Don't be afraid, that's the initial manifestation of divine consciousness, the influence of the innate spiritual power in your embryonic form, causing you to see a fleeting glimpse of chaos. Don't delve too deep into it, your little brain can't handle that much information."

"You only need to remember, you are my wife through all lifetimes, understand"

His seriousness made me afraid to be casual, so I hesitantly nodded.

I didn't believe such words at first, but now I'm desperately trying to convince myself!

I don't want to be apart from him, he occupies all my nights, coming with the darkness and leaving with the dawn.

Without him, half my body feels empty.

"Come on, these two little guys if they don't come out soon and dare to mess with you, I'll take care of them." He chuckled and pressed a kiss to my forehead.

I grinned wryly.

Though a woman may be weak, she is strong as a mother.

Although this pain is unbearable, as if my whole body were being crushed, I... don't feel it's the kind of pain that would be crippling.

I didn't roar or tear wildly to vent my frustration.

Even though my legs were soaked, I was still completely aware of what was happening.

Legend has it that the primordial Qi descended to earth and was reborn as a mortal woman. She married an immortal, Yin and Yang energies harmonized, and they gave birth to Laozi.

The Old Master's Nine Steps to Lotus, speaks of the sole supremacy of the Dao, the supreme Dharma, and the salvation of all beings.

After passing on the secret of the Golden Elixir to his successors, he ascended back to heaven aboard a jade chariot.

Jiang Qiyun said that a child is born with a celestial scroll, but they can only grow up in the human world. Only humans have yin and yang qi. The Thirty-Three Heavens and the Underworld each have one yang and one yin, and neither can conceive.

When the time is right and the opportunity arises, let them walk through the Three Realms on their own.

So...baby, come out soon, many people are waiting for you.

I leaned back against the headboard, catching my breath. Old Lady Wu didn't look like a senior citizen at all at this moment; she was full of energy and still had a strong grip!

When she pressed on my stomach, it hurt so much... I felt like it was even worse than when the baby was trying to come out!

"Well, well, this little girl is so good, she knows how to care for her mother..." The old woman pressed down on my lower abdomen and said that the baby's head had already dropped.

I can hardly breathe, she's still pushing so hard!

"Don't be afraid, little one. Thousands of women have given birth before you with no complications. The babies are so small that the tearing is very mild, unless there's a malposition or difficult labor, then it's unfortunate... Nowadays it's a peaceful time, most people are well-fed and have plenty to eat and enjoy themselves. So the fetus is well-nourished and grows big, which is why an episiotomy is needed... Your two little ones are so small, don't worry about it..."

How much How big

I looked at the old woman with my eyes.

The old woman said, “I’ve delivered several babies like this. They have extraordinary energy and spirit, but their flesh and skin develop last, so they are small… They will grow healthy with proper postnatal care.”

"Well, the head I felt was just this big, not much bigger than your husband's, right Don't be afraid, hee hee hee hee hee..."

I rolled my eyes speechless, Grandma. Are you really in your nineties!

He is a true role model for disrespecting elders!

Besides, what's a little difference Can these two even be compared! And what's wrong with the head being bigger!

When I got angry, the feeling of falling in my stomach intensified. I couldn't help but let out a hoarse cry: "Ah..."

It really hurts.

The room stood ajar, and they were all outside, their voices hushed.

As soon as I shouted, all the sounds outside ceased.

My brother said to Jiang Qiyun, “ …Just stay inside and watch over it. If I wasn't worried about you minding, I would go in there myself. No big deal, I could just cover my eyes.”

My dad immediately said, "I can also blindfold myself... even cover my head! I'm worried Qiao will hurt, I feel sorry for my dear little girl..."

Even that little brat, Tánláng, chimed in, "I want to go in too! I can even cover myself with a sack. I won't look at anything, I just want to talk to my master uncle."

Stay outside, all of you.

If a line of people came in blindfolded, hooded, and bagging their heads, I think I would laugh so hard I'd cry.

Jiang Qiyun ultimately didn't let the several extraordinary men in my house enter. He walked to my side and said to the old woman, "…help her give birth safely, you will at least add twenty years of good fortune and longevity."

The old woman with dirt on her face chuckled, "I've lived this long thanks to the divine judgement of the great god, rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Of course I know how important a spirit fetus is. Don't worry, just look..."

I let out a groan, then whimpered in pain.

The bed-wetting pad that covers half the bed has been changed twice, and this pose with legs bent open is really unsightly...

Jiang Qiyun used a finger to tap on my brow, a point of white fluorescence swirling around his fingertips. He asked in a low voice, "Does this feel better"

I nodded dumbly, and the dull ache in my head lessened a bit.

"I've kept the corpse dogs at bay for you. Now, do your best." He chuckled softly.

The Corpse Dog spirit governs bodily sensations and alertness. I feel much better under his calming influence.

I heard my older brother's low voice from outside the door: "It seems like things are starting to move at Qingcheng Hospital... Da Bao just went to take a peek and called to say that the mages of the Tongxuan Society... along with Lingxuzi Lao Dao, Master Yuanhui, and Old Lady Ma, have gone in with some of their most capable disciples..."

With so many talented people around, it shouldn't be a problem.

Just as I let out a breath of relief, a sharp pain shot through me. I clenched my jaw, gritting my teeth as I whimpered, tears streaming down my face.

This is so torturous, the pain is excruciating and long-lasting, and there's no end in sight!

It's been hurting for several hours now, each time more intense than the last. This time, this time...

A surge of water burst out, the intense pain causing me to black out.

"Ah——!!"

The old woman's signature cackle echoed: "See, I told you the little spirit was well-behaved... understands the order of yin and yang, doesn't fight or scramble...otherwise you'd be in pain!"

I feel like something is stuck down there!

How can that old hag still smirk! Help quickly…

"Come on, push! You! Don't gasp for air! Our little deity is about to be born~~!"

The door was forced open, and the men in the house stopped at the threshold, peering through the frame. They craned their necks and shouted, “Is it out Is it out!”

"Damn, don't crowd me! You'll get killed by my brother-in-law inside!"

"You killed him! You ungrateful wretch! ... Eh Why isn't there any crying Did you even come out!"

They were impatient, tiptoeing, while I was covered in a blanket from the air conditioner, they couldn't see anything.

Jiang Qiyun turned his head and said coldly —

"Give, me, a, go."ng you in to see.""Pff...cough cough cough..." Yun Fan, the master, took a mouthful of tea: "Come on, Great Shaman King, you've never been willing to let outsiders in before...""Once Yinluo is married...
