"Husband, save my father …"
Watching the fire engulfing the inn, even though Xiaowan was in excruciating pain, she was still concerned about her sleeping father. However, she did not know why her childbirth was so painful, she felt as if her stomach was going to explode.
"Night, are you okay?" Aunt Zhang panicked. She had never given birth to a child before, nor had she ever delivered a child. She simply did not know what to do.
He had already told the midwife of the town that he would stay in the tavern by the middle of the month so that he could wait for the Xiaowan to give birth at any time.
"Aunt, my stomach's about to explode. Ah …" Xiaowan screamed in pain, as though his entire body was going to fall apart. Could this be the pain that the doctor mentioned?
Ling Chaofeng rushed out, and the fire spread inside the shop. There was no way for him to reach the second floor, and his body was already on fire.
The moment he came out, he heard Xiaowan's piercing shout. What was even more unimaginable was that his wife's stomach was pushing up so hard that it seemed to want to hang her up.
knew that if her father-in-law died in the tavern, Xiaowan would feel guilty for the rest of her life. However, he could not abandon her wife, as she had never seen any woman give birth to a child like this.
He rushed towards the Xiaowan, but before he could even reach her, he saw the Xiaowan screaming involuntarily. The sound broke through the night sky, causing her to nearly die from the pain.
In that instant, a golden light rose from her stomach and rushed into the night sky, illuminating the night as if it were day.
A Golden Dragon hovered above the tavern, its roar shook the world, as torrential rain came out from its mouth, extinguishing the fire in the tavern.
Ling Chaofeng was shocked. Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao were so scared that they seemed like they were carved stones. Xiaowan was tormented to the point of death, but she had also seen this hair-raising scene.
The fire had been extinguished, and the buildings that had been burned to the ground were slowly repairing themselves in the rain. The heavy rain did not stop, and it was as if a cloud was standing in the sky.
However, after the Golden Dragon rode the cloud and wandered around for a bit, it once again turned into a golden light and rushed down.
Amidst the crackling sound of the rain, the loud and clear cry of a baby could be heard. Right beside Xiaowan, in the midst of the heavy rain, a baby lay there.
Lightning flashed between the clouds, illuminating the night sky. Everyone could see that there were a pair of horns on the child's head.
"My god …" Aunt Zhang exclaimed.
Xiaowan, on the other hand, fainted after feeling extreme pain and shock.
"Late!" Ling Chaofeng rushed over and carried his wife in his arms. He looked at the infant in shock, who was lying on the ground. This child had a pair of horns on his head.
Uncle Biao was brave. He took off his clothes and wrapped the baby up.
But at this moment, Master Mu, who had no idea what had happened, finally woke up.
He was completely unaware of the fire, and when he came out, he saw that everyone was standing in the torrential rain. In Uncle Biao's arms, there was actually a baby.
"Such a heavy rain, such a cold sky …" Master Mu shouted, "What are you doing, come in!"
Xiaowan had long passed out and did not know anything. After a long period of darkness, her eyes finally lit up.
She then came to the beautiful spring garden, where there was a vast lake. The empress dowager with a potbellied belly was waving at her, but when Xiaowan looked down, her stomach was still there.
They sat at the edge of the lake and ate green bean cake while the Palace Maid delivered fish food.
Suddenly, the water surface started to churn violently, a deep whirlpool appeared in the middle of the lake, and a Golden Dragon rose up from the lake, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, a bright golden light shone, the Xiaowan looked at him in fear, did they meet again?
After the Golden Dragon roared into the sky, it circled in the clouds once before charging down.
"Ah …" The Xiaowan fell onto her back, falling onto the ground. The Golden Dragon rushed into her stomach and disappeared without a trace.
"Xiaowan, what's wrong? Are you alright?" In her dream, the Queen was anxiously supporting her.
"Mother, Empress, you … Do you see anything? " The Xiaowan asked in fear.
"No, Xiaowan, hurry up and get up, did you lose your stomach?" the Queen asked her worriedly.
"Late, late …"
Hearing her husband's voice, Xiaowan looked around, panicked and suddenly opened her eyes.
As expected, it was a dream.
"Late at night, you finally woke up."
Her husband's face appeared before her eyes. Ling Chaofeng's hair was still wet and his body still had traces of being burned by the smoke. His chin was already covered by a layer of black stubble.
"Hubby …" Xiaowan was completely exhausted, and her limbs and bones seemed to have been torn down and rebuilt. She weakly reached out her hand towards Ling Chaofeng and suddenly felt that her body was a little strange.
The bulging belly was gone, as was the little guy who went through the waves every day. The flat belly was the same as when she was a girl. It was as if she was never pregnant.
She gradually recalled what happened before she fainted. Xiaowan couldn't tell if it was a dream or real, but her stomach had indeed disappeared.
"Where are our children?" Xiaowan cried and asked, "Hubby, that child, he, he …"
"He has a pair of horns on his head. He doesn't look human." Ling Chaofeng's eyes were scarlet red, he was still in shock, "Xiaowan, did you see that Golden Dragon?"
Xiaowan nodded her head stiffly. Of course she saw it, she never would have thought that the dream of the Golden Dragon entering her bosom was not for the Empress, but for herself.
"The child is there. Do you want me to show it to you?" No matter how much blood and gore Ling Chaofeng had experienced, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing. He felt that right now, he was completely wooden and could only stiffly do what he needed to do.
The Xiaowan nodded her head, then watched as his husband got up and walked to the side of the cradle. The moment his father touched the baby, the baby that was originally asleep began to cry loudly, Ling Chaofeng carried him over, and carefully placed him in the Xiaowan's embrace.
The baby fell, revealing the horn on the child's head. Xiaowan was so scared that she sucked in a breath of cold air.
However, the child suddenly stopped crying. His large eyes stared at his mother for a moment, and then he pouted his small mouth, sucking on it as if he wanted to drink some milk.
Xiaowan subconsciously untied her shirt, and as if by instinct, she brought Feng Lu to his mouth. The child immediately opened his mouth, and took a big gulp, with her small hands holding her mother's breasts, she started to eat them.
"It's a boy." Ling Chaofeng said, "Besides this pair of horns, he's like a normal person."
"But …"
Xiaowan's eyes were filled with tears. No matter how much she said, she could not hide it, as she had been born a freak.
"Late at night. I'm sorry, you forgive me for saying that, but I thought you were very strange a long time ago." Ling Chaofeng said painfully, "Ever since you came, strange things have always happened in the tavern. Until now, I still can't figure out how you brought Susu and Auntie Chen to the Baisha River Pier. Late? Am I wrong? "
"Master, do you think I'm a monster?" Xiaowan said tearfully, "I, I …"
Ling Chaofeng shook his head vigorously, "No, how could you be a monster? But do you know how to explain why so many strange things have happened? Can you tell me? "
Outside the door, Aunt Zhang sent some soup. When she heard the couple talk, she wanted to come in and see Xiaowan, but she felt like disturbing them at this moment. She brought the soup back down, and the Master Mu asked worriedly: "Is Xiaowan better now? Can I go see her?"
They temporarily did not intend to tell Master Mu that he had given birth to such a strange child, that he might not speak of it for the rest of his life.
Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao looked at each other before Uncle Biao said, "Brother Mu, let me send you to the dock."
"This... I'm already here. I'd like to take a look at my grandson before I leave. " Master Mu said, "I was just looking, can you help me ask Xiaowan?"
Aunt Zhang replied, "I just asked. Nian`er told me to remind you to be careful on your way here."
Seeing this, the Master Mu knew that it was useless if he insisted. He turned around and walked out of the inn and was sent to the dock by the Uncle Biao.
While boarding the ship, he chatted with the others, saying that it had rained heavily last night. He was worried that it would become a disaster again, but fortunately, it stopped very quickly.
However, everyone curiously said, "It didn't rain last night. Are you dreaming?"
Master Mu was stunned. He saw such a heavy rain with his own eyes, how could he say that it didn't rain?
However, it was rather strange. The people in the inn seemed to be possessed. Also, how could a daughter give birth to a child in the heavy rain?
However, when they saw the heavy rain last night, other than the people from Ling Xiao Inn, there were also people sent by Yue Huaiyin to set the fire, and Yue Huaiyin herself.
She stood at the peak of a distant mountain. She wanted to see her Ling Xiao Inn turn into ashes, but not long after the flames shot into the sky, a heavy rain suddenly fell and a cloud of smoke and dust passed by.
Within the borders of the Baisha County, only the top of the head had rained. Even the people who went to set fire to the place had returned, and they also said that it had rained in a strange manner.
The only difference was that Yue Huaiyin and the others did not see the Golden Dragon soaring into the sky.
The person who set the fire told Yue Huaiyin that they heard the cry of a baby and guessed that Ling Chaofeng's wife was probably born.
The sinister cold glint in Yue Huaiyin's eyes grew deeper and deeper, as though she had gone mad.
who exactly was Ling Xiao Inn? It allowed Mu Xiaowan to have a child safely even when the water was drowned and the fire burned to death.
In the tavern, the baby who had eaten his fill fell asleep sweetly. Other than a pair of horns, the child was probably slightly older than the other babies. There was nothing else out of the ordinary about him.
His eyes were big, his nose was straight and perky, his skin was as white as a Xiaowan, and he was a very beautiful male doll.
But even so, it was impossible for others to not pay attention to that pair of horns on his head. After last night's experience, everyone understood that the Golden Dragon was this child.
It was very possible that Xiaowan had given birth to a dragon.
In the bedroom, Xiaowan clenched her right hand and chanted a incantation. The teapot on the table flew up to him and poured him a cup of tea. The teapot flew right in front of him.
Ling Chaofeng watched this scene in shock. Xiaowan reached out to grab the teacup and returned the teapot back to its original position. Everything was the same as before.
The Xiaowan said: "It's that white-haired old lady we saved the night we got married. She told me in her dreams that she could use this Jade Ring to make any wish she wanted and that she would realize everything. But I can only use it once a day, and I quickly realized that it was useless against you. Maybe you don't remember, I was watching you every single day for a while, but when Uncle Biao walked past you, he fell down right in front of you. "
Ling Chaofeng nodded, "I remember that time, I taught you a lesson, so you just stared at me."
The Xiaowan said, "However, anything I do to you is useless. Thus, I made a clever wish that I could use my wish to do something for you. You were locked up by the county magistrate, and if I wish for you to come back earlier, then you won't be able to do it. So I wish for the county magistrate to release the people he shouldn't have captured. Furthermore, the antique swindler was also caught by me using the Jade Ring. Initially when I brought Susu and the Auntie Chen to disappear quickly, it was also a wish made by me using a ring. You think that all the weird things are the sacred arts of this ring. "
After Ling Chaofeng heard these words, for some reason, his heart became a lot less heavy.
Xiaowan thought for a moment and tried taking off the ring. As expected, the ring that she could not take off at all was taken off easily.
She said to her husband, "Granny told me in her dreams that if anyone else knew about this secret, even you, the ring would not work from now on. Husband, look. I can take it off now. She will never be able to fulfill my wish again. "
Ling Chaofeng took the ring and looked at it again and again. It had always been like a normal ring. He had never thought that everything would start to turn weird the night of his wedding.
Xiaowan walked to the side of the cradle and looked at the child who was sleeping soundly. The baby had wrapped itself around his horns, and he looked no different from an ordinary child.
From the moment she gave birth to her life, her motherly heart had been stationed in the Xiaowan's heart. This was the flesh that fell from her body.
"Husband, what are you going to do?" Xiaowan turned around and subconsciously blocked the space in front of the cradle with her body, and looked at Ling Chaofeng with teary eyes, "Can I keep my son?
