Chapter 742: The Birth of a Newborn

Chapter 742: The Birth of a Newborn

The three days passed quickly. In the courtyard of the Qin residence, Qin Feng exhaled lightly and opened his eyes.

The Ghost Lord gave him the divinity of the Dao of Time and Space left by the big eyeball. During these past few days, he did not delay in cultivating while also allowing Chi Qi and Bai Su, the two little fellows, to devour and perfect the Yin-Yang Dao.

It had to be said that this temporal-spatial divine nature was far more powerful than the Illusory Dream Dao left behind by the Night Wandering Ghost.

After absorbing this strand of divinity, the Yin-Yang Dao had nearly expanded by one-third, and Chi Qi and Bai Su had also taken in a hearty meal.

The forms of the two little fellows also began to change. Chi Qi’s size was evidently much larger than before, and even the annihilation lightning enveloping its body seemed like a ferocious beast baring its fangs, its oppressive might incomparable.

As for Bai Su, its size did not change much, still retaining that silly and adorable appearance. However, the tender sprout on its head had grown taller by a few inches.

“It seems that once they fully devour the Yin-Yang Dao, their respective abilities will also be greatly enhanced. “

“According to what Senior Xuan Yi said, at that time, I may be able to draw upon their power to advance and break through to the second rank.”

“It’s just a pity that although the Divine Sea contains so many varieties of Dao and Divinity, I cannot fuse them into myself.”

“Otherwise, if I could comprehend all of these principles, nevermind the second rank, even reaching the transcendence realm would merely be a matter of time.”

Thinking of this, Qin Feng could not help but sigh.

His current mood was like knowing there was a vast oilfield beneath his feet, but due to limited ability, he could only extract a shallow layer.

His heart itched, yet he felt helpless.

Shaking his head, he no longer dwelled on it and strode towards the main hall.

In the main hall, the womenfolk of the household were all present. With the two wives nearing childbirth, Second Mother, being an experienced one herself, was hardly ever far, deeply afraid of any accidents occurring.

The social butterfly mother-in-law would come here to talk to Liu Jianli and tell her what to pay attention to.

As for Cang Feilan’s Aunt Cang Mu, she had also returned not long ago, but for some reason, Qin Feng always seemed to detect a hint of worry in her eyes.

Of course, besides them, there was one more person who visited daily and would stay for half the day.

“Pregnant women often have no appetite. These lychees were specially brought from the palace. Two elder sisters, why don’t you try some? Perhaps it can help stimulate your appetites.”

“The weather is gradually turning cold. Elder sisters must be careful not to catch a cold.”

“These are the newest robes from Imperial Excellence. I specifically asked them to make the sizes larger, so they should fit you perfectly when wrapped around you.”

“Oh, this is a medicinal formula I requested the imperial physicians to compound. It has the effect of securing the pregnancy and nourishing vitality. Take it once in the morning and once in the evening daily. The effects should be quite good.”

“Qing’er, could you trouble yourself to decoct this medicine?”

Ya’an, who was wearing a light-colored long dress and looked elegant, asked with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Qing’er took the medicine and hurried out of the lobby. Perhaps even she did not notice that following Ya’an’s orders had become natural for her.

This girl acts more like the lady of the house than my two wives, Qin Feng thought with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

“As a princess, isn’t it inappropriate for you to come to my house every day?”

Ya’an glanced at him nonchalantly and said matter-of-factly, “Auntie and I hit it off immediately, and I enjoy conversing with the two elder sisters. What’s wrong with me visiting my friends? Moreover, with the two elder sisters pregnant, I can look after them and share some insights along the way.”

“Insights?” Qin Feng smiled. “You make it sound as if you have deep personal experience.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Ya’an’s eyes. As an unmarried young lady, how could she possibly have experience with pregnancy?

What she had said earlier was merely superficial theories gained from asking her mother the empress and imperial physicians.

At this moment, dark clouds suddenly gathered overhead, and the sky abruptly darkened. Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan both clutched their bellies and caressed them gently.

Everyone in the lobby was already used to this scene.

Ya’an said enviously, “I heard my teacher say that when exceptionally gifted children are born into this world, there will be heavenly anomalies at their birth. The fetuses in the two elder sisters’ wombs have not even been delivered yet, yet they can often cause such phenomena. It is obvious how amazing their talents are.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan had smiles on their faces. As mothers, it was only natural for them to hope their children would be exceptional.

“May I touch them?” Ya’an asked cautiously.

Liu Jianli gave a slight nod.

Ya’an exhaled excitedly, then slowly placed her palm on the other’s belly, feeling the warmth and softness.

She clearly sensed a vibrant life pulsing with rhythm within, and could not help but be moved in her heart.

The birth of life, no matter what era, was always a great miracle.

Even more so as she was of the same gender, she now had the illusion of experiencing it directly.

Just as the smiling Qin Feng was about to say something, he suddenly frowned, seeming to sense something as he glanced out the window.

The sky grew increasingly dark, and the rolling black clouds continued to gather, the low pressure making one’s chest feel stuffed and breathless.

If this were a normal occasion, the anomaly should have passed by now. But today, it lingered persistently!

Those in the Imperial City all sensed the abnormality and looked up at the sky in bewilderment.

“Strange, it was just sunny a moment ago. How did it suddenly turn like this?”

“My chest feels uncomfortable, is it going to rain heavily?”

Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan’s faces were deathly pale. The vital energies within their bodies were being feverishly consumed by the fetuses in their wombs. They were extremely weak at the moment, with cold sweat continuously rolling down their foreheads.

The immense pain of childbirth caused even these exceptionally strong women’s bodies to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing this, the social butterfly mother-in-law and Cang Mu saw this, they held their hands tightly with distressed expressions on their faces.

“Breathe deeply, breathe deeply,” Granny Liu murmured softly as she carried out the delivery process.

Though elderly, her hands were remarkably steady.

The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely tense, and the situation outside was no less grave.

As the delivery progressed, the heaven; tribulation intensified. Countless thunder dragons prowled above the Qin residence, as if selecting the opportune moment to strike a fatal blow.

Mere defense would only put them at a disadvantage. Gritting his teeth, Qin An was about to ascend and strike when someone grabbed his shoulder to stop him. Turning back, it was Qin Feng.

“Big Brother?”

“Can you handle protecting the Qin residence?” Qin Feng asked seriously.

Qin An’s expression was resolute. “Rest assured, Big Brother. As long as I’m here, the Qin residence will absolutely not be harmed!”

“Good.”

Gathering thunderous righteous qi into his footsteps, Qin Feng instantly took to the air, shooting towards the heavens.

The surrounding thunder dragons howled ferociously, encircling him from all angles.

Qin Feng surveyed his surroundings, including the constantly gathering sea of lightning overhead, with grim expression.

Boom!

Another bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The apprehensive citizens of the Imperial City suddenly noticed a human figure standing suspended beneath the dark clouds.

Taking a closer look, someone exclaimed in astonishment, “Quick, look! It’s Master Qin!”

“I felt this abnormal weather change was suspicious. Could it be that Master Qin is undergoing another tribulation to break through to an even higher realm?”

“Impossible. It was only half a year ago at the Battle of Zhenling Pass that Master Qin reached the third rank. How can he advance to the second rank so quickly?”

The descent of the Southern Domain’s Candle Dragon had caused great upheaval in the world and naturally, the tragic Battle of Zhenling Pass was known to all.

Although the fact that Qin Feng slew the Candle Dragon was kept hidden, many were aware that he had reached the third rank.

“Master Qin’s talents are astounding. For him to elevate an entire great realm in just half a year, what’s so surprising about that? Which ordinary person could invoke a Heavenly Tribulation at the fourth rank?”

“That makes sense.”

As the crowd was still speculating, Qin Feng gazed at the boundless sea of lightning and calmly stated, “Today, I shall stand right here. Let’s see who dares to descend!”

For a mortal to provocatively challenge heavenly tribulation!

Upon hearing this, the citizens could only feel their blood boiling with excitement.

However, as soon as these words had left his mouth, the countless thunder dragons surrounding him rushed towards Qin Feng without showing the slightest bit of courtesy.

The thunderous rumbling was incessant and horrific shockwaves swept in all directions.

Where the thunder converged, a dazzling purple light burst out, obscuring the vision.

“Big Brother!” Qin An called out anxiously.

Then there was a burst of white light, and all the gathered thunder collapsed.

Qin Feng cultivated the Thunderous Righteous Qi, so thunderbolts of this level posed no threat to him at all.

However, his arrogant words were met with this heavenly slap in the face, leaving him rather embarrassed.

The thunder dragons reformed, brimming with potential force.

Qin Feng centered his qi in his dantian and repeated the same words as before.

But this time, the thunder in the sky was like a small beast frightened by a ferocious beast, and did not dare to show any fangs.

The citizens of the Imperial City had never witnessed such a scene. A single man standing high in the sky, facing the endless power of heaven, he remained unmoved.

The vast sea of lightning, the boundless heavenly might, was cowed by this one man and did not dare unleash its fury!

What an awe-inspiring sight it was!

Of course, the endless lightning was not actually intimidated by Qin Feng, but rather frightened into immobility by the snarling, fang-baring Chi Qi beside him.

The ancient annihilation lightning was the sovereign of all thunderbolts. Just as beasts would cower before a ferocious tiger, the same goes for the thunderbolt when it sees the annihilation thunder.

Qin Feng was merely borrowing the tiger’s might.

“Big Brother is truly remarkable,” his younger brother said in admiration, unaware of the truth.

At that moment, two golden rays of light shot forth from the main hall into the heavens.

Shortly after, the powerful cries of newborn infants rang out.
