Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Half a year later, the Jade Mansion was in a state of tension.
Yu Shoushan and Yu Chao accompanied the two cultivators in the living room.
One of the cultivators was a middle-aged woman with a jade-like complexion in navy blue robes. Her jade-green hair was particularly eye-catching.
The other person was an old woman. Her face was lined with age, but her hair was jet-black. Faint water vapor surrounded her body.
The old man said, “Family Head Yu, Dong Linglong is only half a year pregnant. My investigations can only conclude that all is well. Why are you worried about giving birth prematurely?”
Although the middle-aged woman did not say anything, she seemed to silently agree.
“The two of you may not know this, but my wife has always dreamed of a new life coming into the world. Recently, the dreams have been recurring persistently. She has a strong feeling that she is about to give birth.”
Yu Chao already knew that Ye Changge was extraordinary but did not dare to reveal his information carelessly. He could only blame it all on his wife’s dreams.
After all, the Hidden Edge Sect was so far away. Ye Changge had sensed this half a year ago.
On the other hand, the Vast Sea Pavilion, which was also one of the top ten sects, did not react even when they were so close to each other. This was enough to show that Ye Changge was leaps and bounds ahead of them.
“Since you’re so certain, I think it’s because you’re worried that things will get messy. In any case, our factions have always been on good terms for generations. The Vast Sea Pavilion sent me here just in case.”
“My Blue Wave Sect’s Elder Yu is cultivating nearby. Elder Yu’s medical skills are superb. If anything really happens, I’ll call for her. You can rest assured.”
As the representative of the Blue Wave Sect, the middle-aged woman waited for the old woman to finish speaking before she spoke.
“In that case, thank you, Granny Li, and thank you, fellow Daoist Qi Rou.”
As the few of them conversed, they gradually began to talk about other matters.
In the afternoon, the sun was originally shining brightly, but it gradually dimmed. Meteors streaked across the sky, one after another, attracting the attention of the people.
The pedestrians of Zishan city all raised their heads to look at the sky, looking at the strange weather.
Dong Linglong lay in the room when a sudden, unbearable pain in her abdomen assaulted her, eliciting a cry of pain.
The servant girl serving her by the side was looking through the window at the meteor streaking across the sky. She was shocked.
When she heard the mistress’ cry of pain, she hurriedly turned her head around.
When she realized something was wrong, she hurriedly ran outside to inform the servants to look for the midwife.
Yu Chao was also looking up at the meteor when a servant suddenly came to report that Dong Linglong was about to give birth. He had already found the midwife.
Granny Li and Qi Rou stood up in surprise and looked at each other.
Originally, the two of them were just here to go through the motions, but they never expected Yu Chao’s words to actually come true. Dong Linglong was indeed about to give birth.
Moreover, the birth had brought out a strange phenomenon in the sky. In the future, this child was bound to be an extraordinary figure.
The two of them hurriedly sent a message to the sect, hoping to get support.
Not only did they send a medical expert, but they also sent someone to pick up the disciple. Neither of them wanted to be outdone by the other.
In the cultivation world, the competition for talent was no less than the competition for resources.
“Not good, master, Young Master. The young mistress is having difficulty giving birth. There’s a lot of blood now. The midwife is calling for the doctor to hurry over.”
The ominous news frightened Qi Rou. She hurriedly said, “I’ll go find elder Yu.”Then she left quickly.
Granny Li’s reaction wasn’t slow either. She took out a jade pendant and handed it to Yu Chao. “Place this jade pendant by Dong Linglong’s bedside. Perhaps it can protect her safety.”
Actually, she didn’t care much about Dong Linglong’s wellbeing. She was more concerned about the safety of the child that was about to be born.
The weather only grew in intensity. Zishan city was thrown into shadow.
However, a rainbow quickly brought light back to the city as a continuous stream of raindrops streaked across the sky.
After receiving the message and confirming the strange phenomenon in the sky, the Azure Wave Sect of the Azure Sea Pavilion did not dare dally about and sent out experts to Zishan City.
Perhaps this time, they would be able to bring a powerful disciple to the sect, which would greatly increase the strength of the sect in a few decades!
Not long after, the forces of the two sects gathered in the Jade Mansion.
“I never expected even Elder Ouyang to jump off his seat. It seems like the Azure Sea Pavilion is quite determined this time.”
When Elder Ouyang heard the low-key jibe, he laughed out loud.
“You must be joking. This old man is only here to ensure the safety of the mother and son of the Jade Mansion. On the other hand, the Jade Wave Sect has sent out Venerable Lian Hai. I believe that they are truly determined to obtain it.”
“I just don’t know why you sent out that old woman Yu Yiyi. Dong Linglong is already having problems giving birth. Why did you send out a venerable? What are you trying to do?”
“I’ve brought along excellent medicinal herbs this time. Although Elder Ouyang’s medical skills are astonishing, Elder Yu can also be very strong.”
“A good doctor can concoct good medicinal herbs. This girl is destined to be indebted to us for saving her life. She will definitely become a disciple of my jade wave sect!”
A few hours later.
“Xiao Hong, how’s the situation now?” Yu Shoushan asked the maidservant as he waited in the hall.
“Master, several doctors have already gone in. I don’t know the exact situation either.”
In the room, the five or six doctors who had already checked the situation looked at each other, unable to come up with a solution.
They had already been here for quite some time. After looking into the situation, it seemed that the nutrition and energy demands of the baby were too heavy and burdened the mother heavily.
Naturally, the baby was born much earlier.
At the same time, the baby’s own energy placed the mother under heavy backlash. It was indeed very difficult for her to carry this baby for a full term.
As this was a premature birth, no one could tell how the baby would turn out.
All sorts of spiritual tools, treasures and panaceas were tried one after another, but no one could protect the mother and the baby at the same time.
“Why don’t we prioritize the child?”
The few of them looked at each other. With the baby’s strength, its vitality must be astonishing. Furthermore, they were all here to take in a disciple.
Furthermore, Dong Linglong’s current situation was indeed not good. If they could only protect one, they had to give up on her.
“If we can’t make a decision, we will definitely be in trouble. Let’s call the Yu family to explain the situation.”
Hearing the news, Yu Chao’s heart was torn in two. However, at such a crucial moment, as the head of the Yu family, Yu Shoushan was able to remain calm.
He summoned the butler and asked him to bring him to personally retrieve Ye Changge’s medicinal pills.
“Everyone, this is a medicinal pill that my Yu family obtained by chance. We know how valuable it is and have not been willing to use it.”
“The situation is critical now and I can only give it one last try. If it is not successful, I will have to trouble everyone to save the child by any means.”
The few doctors clearly did not believe a pill brought up at this moment would change things. They had already used all their trump cards, but there was nothing they could do. How could the Jade Mansion take out a bottle of medicinal pills and save them both?
Moreover, this Yu Shoushan had been concealing this. He was unwilling to reveal the true origin of the medicinal pills. Neither did he permit them to examine it. No one could determine the specific effects of the medicinal pills.
Yu Chao only wanted to grab hold of this final, life-saving straw. He took the medicinal pills and rushed into the room, giving them to his wife to consume.
Not long after, Dong Linglong successfully stopped the bleeding. The medicinal efficacy of the pill took effect and quickly healed her.
With help, she resumed giving birth again with the help of the midwife.
Not long after, a bright-eyed baby girl was successfully born.
The Sky began to clear up.
The people outside the door started chattering again. They could not believe that they had succeeded.
