Chapter 1233 - 887: Twins!

Chapter 1233: Chapter 887: Twins!

The Beast Husbands hurriedly got busy. They had run countless mental drills in advance. Shen Li boiled a large bucket of hot water, Jia Lan prepared clean white cloth in advance, and the incubator was lined with soft cotton and silk, adjusted to the suitable temperature.

Shu Kui continued to methodically direct, "Don’t let her lie down! Lu Xiao, help her sit up, lean her against you! Xiao Jin, go get a soft cushion to support her back!"

"Okay." Xiao Jin hurriedly grabbed a soft pillow to support Shen Tang’s back, asking concernedly, "Is this more comfortable? Do you need any adjustments?"

Lu Xiao’s eyes were entirely bloodshot, his breath was rapid and heated. As the child’s biological father, he couldn’t afford to be flustered at this moment.

Lu Xiao sat at the head of the bed, supporting Shen Tang to lean in his embrace, her back pressed tightly against his chest — he could clearly feel her body trembling with pain, her pale face was tensely furrowed, her lips nearly biting out a bloody hue, his heart ached to the extreme.

His large hand tightly held hers, as if he were transferring invisible strength into her body.

Shu Kui appeared calm, though it was his first time helping deliver a female, and he was sweating in anxiousness, gently but urgently urging, "Xiao Xi, keep going, push harder, it’s almost out!"

Shen Tang’s lips were chapped, and before her eyes appeared a strong, solid arm.

Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and bit down hard, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth!

Lu Xiao didn’t let out even a muffled grunt, he even intentionally relaxed his arm, controlling the muscle bulge, letting her bite more comfortably.

"Mmm..." Shen Tang tightly grasped Lu Xiao’s hand, still biting his other arm, the pain in her body indeed alleviated a lot.

She closed her eyes, face tightly furrowed, giving it one last push!

A slight "puchi" sound, like something rolled out from her belly.

"It’s born!" Xiao Jin exclaimed happily, "It really is an egg!"

A remarkably round and smooth egg, just born, still covered in viscous bodily fluid. Jia Lan, knowing Shen Tang loved cleanliness, quickly took the egg and wiped it clean with a moist, clean towel.

Originally planning to quickly put it into the incubator, he seemed to see something, suddenly let out a gasp of surprise, "Huh, what is this? There are golden patterns on the egg!"

Xiao Jin and Shen Li instinctively turned their heads and also simultaneously let out a gasp.

On the snow-white eggshell, imprinted were golden wing patterns, as if carefully painted artwork, yet this was inherent on the eggshell... How could this be?

Xiao Jin and the others were of the Beast Clan, had not personally seen egg-born offspring, but knew basic common knowledge — eggs of the Feather Clan typically look alike at birth, only differing in size and color, never heard of patterns naturally appearing on eggshells.

Moreover, the design was not so much a coincidental pattern as it was a unique totem imprint.

The golden wing totem seemed to exude a vast, sacred aura, causing them to instinctively feel waves of excitement, as if there was a deep-rooted reverence in their bloodline!

Shu Kui also showed surprise. Though he stayed in the Divine Hall for many years, having seen much, he too had not seen such a situation.

"Xiao, come quickly take a look! How could your offspring’s egg have this pattern, is this innate to your clan?" Xiao Jin urgently shouted toward the bedside.

Lu Xiao was wholly focused on Shen Tang, and it was only at the moment the child was born did he glance briefly, solely concerned with wiping her face and the sweat on her body. Hearing Xiao Jin and the others’ words, he then uncertainly looked at the snow-white egg in Jia Lan’s arms, indeed seeing the golden wing totem printed on the shell.

He was also momentarily stunned, shaking his head in response, "I haven’t seen this totem, nor did I have it at birth."

The egg at a Feather Clan’s birth represents a singular lifetime event, symbolizing the blossoming of life. Therefore, the eggshell is a very special existence for feathered Beastman, often traditionally preserved until brought into the grave.

Lu Xiao’s birth egg is well kept in the Lu Family shrine, Lu Xiao had seen it more than once, there were no golden wing totems on it.

Lu Xiao could feel the ancient, powerful aura emanating from the wing totem, seemingly in protection of the not fully born child.

And this force... it closely resembled that of the Golden Feathered Roc.

Perhaps he was of mixed blood, with only minimal heritage from the Golden Feathered Roc Clan, thus his birth egg lacked the totem. But this child is also not pure, why does it have one?

Lu Xiao was also perplexed, perhaps he should ask his mother about this matter.

"No, my belly still feels so full, so uncomfortable!"

Shen Tang was in such pain that she was somewhat disoriented, but she heard the Beast Husbands speaking, knowing the child was born. But why did her belly still feel swollen and uncomfortable, the pain not reduced but continuing?

Something’s not right! It seemed not fully born yet.

She could feel there was something still inside.

Oh my!

Shen Tang was practically in tears, one bout of pain wasn’t enough, couldn’t she just birth it quickly?

Lu Xiao stared at her rounded belly, his heart suddenly tightened, an unbelievable thought surfaced, was it possible...

Shu Kui decisively announced, "It’s not over, don’t be complacent, there’s another egg in her belly!"

"What? Shen Tang is carrying two eggs!" Xiao Jin exclaimed. Shen Li and Jia Lan were also shocked into disbelief, momentarily frozen.

It’s known that Beastmen’s fertility is inherently low, especially the stronger the bloodline of the Beast Clan, the more difficult the offspring’s inheritance. Let alone twins, that is simply dare not to dream of.

Lu Xiao, what kind of lucky encounter is this? While others haven’t even gotten a shadow of one offspring, he’s getting twins at once, what an envy-inducing heritage fortune?

Xiao Jin, Shen Li, Jia Lan were completely unsure whether to admire or be depressed. Already crestfallen from being outdone, unexpectedly this eagle doubles joy, perhaps really their fertility isn’t comparable? Their self-esteem suddenly seemed brutally wounded!

Just then, intense sounds of fighting erupted outside. Shen Li coldly said, "Looks like time’s up. Lu Xiao and Shu Kui, you two stay to take care of Xiao Tang’er, Xiao Jin, Jia Lan, follow me to fight the enemy."

Outside the palace was a scene of chaos, many corpses lay on the ground, including those of guards and some Abyss Beastmen. The entire palace was protected by invisible Energy Barriers, even the Sealing Array was woven in nine layers, solid as a rock!

With Shen Li, Jia Lan, Xiao Jin joining the battle, even facing a fierce assault by Abyss Beastmen, they weren’t a match, getting driven back steadily, the battle quickly shifted to one side.

Abyss Beastmen knew their own limits, they were aware they couldn’t contend directly, hence they had laid preparations. Among them, a troop of Abyss Beastmen seemed to possess a camouflaging movement technique, vanishing into shadows.

On the chaotic battlefield, no one noticed these few disappearing. Their presence had almost no fluctuation, allowing them to exploit the confusion, storm the birthing room, steal the mother, kill the child!

Upon breaching the first layer of the seal, Shen Li noticed the shadowy twisted figures lurking in the darkness, her face changed as she swiftly unleashed Fox Fire to attack, instantly scattering several shadows.

Yet, some shadows rapidly approached the palace.

The pitch-black sky was suddenly torn apart, radiant beams like golden blades descended from the sky. Those Abyss Beastmen hidden in shadows let out cries of agony, their bodies seeming to emit wisps of black smoke, even their movements slowed considerably.

Shen Li took the opportunity to use Destructive Fire to deal with all these Abyss Beastmen.

Xiao Jin spat out a Thunder Ball, instantly turning a charging Abyss Beastman to ashes, looking up towards the sky, surprisingly said, "Wow, a lot of birds! Those are people of the Empire! The golden bird leading them resembles Lu Xiao’s beast form!"

Jia Lan delightfully commented, "Is it Xiao’s Beast Girl? She’s personally come! That’s great!"

Shen Li thought more comprehensively, not as excited as them, instead showing doubt.

Lu Xiao indeed was the Sky King’s biological offspring, but not raised under her name, let alone being a male, counts as half an out-married clansman. The birth of his child wouldn’t suffice to compel the Sky King to travel all this way personally.

Even if the Sky King wished to see her grandchild, she could visit during the birthday banquet, such impromptu rushing over isn’t in line with the Ancient Country’s etiquette.
