Chapter 1237: Chapter 889: Inheritance Land

To kill her, the Abyss dispatched such a powerful Demon General. Shen Tang didn’t need to think to know how intense the battle outside was. She belatedly realized that the Beast Husbands’ clothes were torn, and their bodies were covered in scars, making her heart ache intensely.

"All of you are hurt, why didn’t you mention it earlier? Let me treat you first."

"It’s alright, you’ve just given birth, and your body hasn’t recovered yet, save your strength." Shen Li’s large hand enveloped her tender palm, lowering his head to gently inhale the fragrance in her hair. His tense spirit slowly relaxed, feeling much more at ease.

"That bunch outside is cleaned up. If more come, I can handle them." Xiao Jin leaned against the door, raising an eyebrow arrogantly, "With us here, the Abyss can try all they like, but they won’t harm a hair on your head!"

Jia Lan glanced at this boastful leopard—he charged the most fiercely and got the most injured, yet he acted like nothing happened. His thick skin couldn’t be matched.

"Tonight’s battle was dangerous, but thanks to the Sky King’s help, they’re still outside waiting. Tangtang, would you like to meet them?"

"The Sky King came too?" Shen Tang was surprised.

Lu Xiao nodded, "I also sensed the presence of my mother and clansmen earlier. They must have come for the newborn child."

"How can we make mother wait outside? Quickly invite them in!" Shen Tang was about to get off the bed but saw her disheveled clothes and blushed, "How can I meet anyone like this? Hurry and tidy me up!"

Lu Xiao chuckled softly, already prepared. He took out clean clothes and helped her change, tidying her messy black hair. Though her complexion was slightly pale, she still looked presentable.

The birthing room wasn’t a place anyone could enter casually, so the Sky King and others waited outside.

Soon, Lu Xiao came out, "Mother, long time no see."

The Sky King was very pleased to see her son, pinching his cheek playfully, "Rascal, you’ve lost weight! You never come to play with your mother, your younger siblings miss you greatly."

Lu Xiao felt somewhat awkward, not very fond of such comments, yet maintained a warm and polite smile, "Sorry mother, my daily affairs keep me busy, I really can’t find the time."

"Alas, you really aren’t close to me! If I had known, I shouldn’t have handed you over to your father back then."

Tian Hui knew some things couldn’t be undone, gave his shoulder a pat, and changed the subject. Looking past him, "Mother is truly happy for you. Remember to bring your little grandson to visit often. If you and Xiao Tang don’t want to bring the child, I can help look after him."

"Alright, I will." Thinking of Shen Tang and the baby, Lu Xiao’s face showed a gentle and bashful smile.

Tian Hui chuckled softly. This son really bears a resemblance to his father in his youth! Outsiders might think he’s rigid and cold, but is in fact very sensitive. When it comes to those he truly cares about, he becomes adorably naive.

"I came in a rush this time and didn’t bring any gifts. But you can’t leave me standing at the door; let me in to see Xiao Tang and my little grandson." The Sky King teased with a smile.

"Mother’s visit is a joy for both me and the Female Master, please come in."

Lu Xiao led the Sky King to the birthing room while others stood guard outside, in case the Abyss attacked again.

Sky King Tian Hui couldn’t contain her joy upon seeing her little grandson. But seeing the totem on the egg, she was shocked, "My heavens, this totem..."

Shen Tang realized she might know something and asked urgently, "Mother, we also think this child’s totem is too extraordinary. Do you know anything? Please tell us."

The Sky King mused, "No wonder I was summoned from miles away. This child truly is extraordinary! We’ve never seen a clan member with such mysterious markings on their eggshell at birth! But I’ve seen this pattern—it’s the ancient totem handed down by the Golden Feathered Roc Clan!"

Lu Xiao was stunned, "But why haven’t I ever seen it? Our clan’s current totem isn’t this design."

Tian Hui nodded, "The Golden Feather Totem is ancient, lost to the outside world ages ago. Only when I succeeded as Clan Leader, visited the Inheritance Land, did I glimpse this totem once. It was passed to me by the Old Priest decades ago. Now, only I and the Priest Clan know the origin of this totem within the clan."

Shen Li, Xiao Jin, Jia Lan listened intently, but since this was not a matter of their clan, they felt it was inappropriate to ask questions.
