Chapter 8 Birth

  At nine months, Zhan Qing was getting weaker and weaker. Every time she gave the baby spiritual energy, it felt like a battle, but she felt very satisfied. Soon, she would soon meet the baby.

  Two leopards have become accustomed to her occasional appearances and disappearances, and when they see her come out, the little leopard happily walks over and rubs against her leg.

  "Alright, alright." He patted it and looked at the mother leopard. It's worth mentioning that the mother leopard she saved really had a personality. Two months ago, she rescued it and even bandaged its wounds, but it was completely indifferent to her, its lifesaver. Just like now, when it saw her, it glanced at her and then turned its head back with a proud attitude, its tail swishing impatiently.

  Cool, has personality! She likes it.

  She cooked a pot of delicious vegetable and meat soup, she finished eating, watched the sunset, blew the wind, felt that life was really good. She touched her belly, her baby must have thought so too.

  Suddenly, her belly felt a bit heavy, could it be that she was going to give birth? Thinking of this, she quickly returned to the delivery room, took off her clothes, and prepared for childbirth.

  Her stomach was getting more and more painful, and she had bitten her lips with a fierce struggle, but the child still didn't come out. At this moment, the pain intensified, all life elements twisted, originally evenly distributed life elements shone with golden light, constantly gathering, gradually forming a golden light column, which became thicker and thicker, then frantically surged into her body.

  "Ah" the pain struck, just like an atomic bomb exploding in her body. Originally giving birth was already extremely painful, now it's even worse, adding insult to injury! What kind of fate is this?! Through her skin, she could see the bulging veins, if someone saw her like this, they would definitely be scared off on the spot.

  "Ah... uh..." The child in her belly was absorbing the spiritual energy gathered within her body, making it unbearable for her.

  "Baby, come on... Mom can't hold on anymore..." She kept exerting herself, taking deep breaths again and again, her body feeling like it was going to burst, but she persisted with incredible willpower, mechanically repeating the same action over and over.

  Suddenly, a tearing pain came from below, Zhan Liangcui gritted her teeth and exerted herself continuously, her fingernails digging deep into the soil, not even noticing the blood, she raised her head high, took one last deep breath, and gave birth to the child.

  At the same time, a mysterious heavenly sign appeared, with the sound of dragons and tigers roaring and shaking the sky. The edge of the sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and red and golden light illuminated the entire sky. In the grand and majestic temple, a loud rumbling sound began to rise, with tiles constantly falling off and dust flying everywhere, just like an earthquake. Everyone's body swayed unsteadily, unable to stand firm, and they were all shocked and stunned by this strange phenomenon. The sounds of crashing, shattering jade, teacups, and candle holders falling, as well as the cries of alarm from the people...

  Suddenly, a divine sign flashed across the sky with ten rays of light, rushing into the hall at incredible speed. A look of shock and joy filled the faces of the nine people present, with one elderly man trembling uncontrollably, his emotions in turmoil. The others stood in the same posture, their eyes fixed on the same spot, where a gigantic, colorful wall loomed like a jade screen, as if it held life within its depths, constantly shifting and flowing. In front of this wall, several two-meter-square, one-foot-thick jade tablets floated from right to left, each bearing strange symbols, mostly red in color, with white mist swirling around them. Only three were gold, appearing more sacred and powerful than the red ones. At that moment, a massive amount of energy was forming beside the golden tablet on the far left, continuously absorbing something from the colorful wall behind it. The two formed a bond, gradually taking shape as another gigantic jade tablet. In an instant, a brilliant light burst forth, shattering the clouds and illuminating the sky. Unbeknownst to all, the clouds above had transformed into giant dragons, swirling and soaring above the grand hall, their low, rumbling roars echoing in every direction, proclaiming something to all who could hear.

  Ten elderly people didn't dare to blink their eyes, witnessing this sacred moment. Finally, after an unknown period of time, the light gradually stopped, and the red clouds in the sky also slowly dispersed. The shaking and crumbling temple also stopped shaking, leaving only a newly formed jade plaque on the colorful wall, emitting golden light.

  "My goodness, this...this..." an slightly plump old man couldn't help but exclaim.

  "Is that... is that... have my eyes gone bad?" A fat old man rubbed his eyes in a comical manner, not daring to believe.

  "Golden, it's golden!" An old man with a slender and elegant figure muttered to himself.

  "Yes, yes, hurry, hurry, report to His Majesty..."

  "Ah, yes, the young master is born, quickly report to His Majesty..."

  "No, can't wait any longer, let's think of a way quickly, we must find Young Master as soon as possible..."

  "Right! I'm so excited that I forgot, searching back, searching back, if it's too late..."

  "I don't even know which interface, what to do? What to do?"

  Ten elderly men suddenly lost their footing and rushed around in a flurry, almost colliding with each other.

  As for Zhan Qingkuang, she finally gave birth to the child. She gazed blankly at the sky and smiled faintly, then crawled to the spring and drank a few mouthfuls of water, gradually recovering her strength. Turning around, she picked up the child, overjoyed in her heart, and thus neglected that the newborn baby hadn't cried out even once.

  It's a boy! She has a son, and she carefully washes him clean by the spring, unable to resist kissing him several times. Look at how handsome her son is, with his fair skin, big eyes, dark pupils, staring straight at her without blinking! His small nose is high-bridged, his lips are rosy, and when he grows up, he'll surely captivate thousands of girls. Such a beautiful child is hers!

  "Mommy's baby, so beautiful, mommy gives you a kiss, muah muah." She couldn't help but give him two more kisses, soft and fluffy, until the feeling on her hands was still smooth and slippery, only then did she remember that she hadn't dressed her precious son yet.

  She put on her clothes and ate two more Life Fruits. Now she discovered another wonderful use of the fruit, which was that her body immediately returned to its original state, even skipping the postpartum recovery period.

  She flashed into the cave and put on a small garment made of fine cloud brocade that she had prepared earlier for her precious son, holding him in her arms to show off to the other two creatures.

  The little leopard excitedly turned around in circles, sizing up this one who had the same breath as her. Even the mother leopard gave her a few more glances.

  "What should Mommy's baby be called? Mommy wants to give you a nice-sounding name, hmm... there was once a very powerful emperor named Kangxi, let's take the character Xuan from his name. Mommy hopes you can stand at the top and look down on the world, and also hopes you have a bright and dazzling life, so let's call you Zhan Xuanyi! How about it?" Zhan Qingkuang was very satisfied with this name, smiling and asking for her baby boy's opinion, looking into his big round eyes staring at her, she suddenly thought that the child hadn't cried yet, didn't know if he was hungry or not.

  She patted her chest, and was disappointed to find that she really didn't have any milk. It seemed that finding a wet nurse had been the right decision after all. She carried her son over to the mother leopard's side, arousing its vigilance.

  "Don't worry, don't worry, my son is hungry, can you help me feed him?" She carefully laid him down, constantly comforting him, and placed her son on its belly, keeping a close eye on it at all times to prevent the mother leopard from harming him.

  Watching the mother leopard feed her son, she stroked his chin and heard a humming sound, and gradually put her mind at ease. When her son was full, she hugged him in her arms and gently patted him, "Xī'ěr hurry up and grow up, Mom will take you to explore the world, okay? When will you call Mom?"

  After all, it's a different world and there is no such title as "mom", so she might as well follow the local customs to avoid drawing attention from others in the future.

  "Not mom, but mother, mother's darling is growing up quickly!" Gently shaking the arm, and colliding with those round big eyes, my heart is full of happiness.

  Enjoying the warmth of the moment, suddenly, the baby in her arms was not calm, constantly twisting his body. "What's wrong with Rui'er?" Looking at him grabbing her hand with the ring on it, she reacted lightly, "Rui'er wants to go back to space?"

  In the blink of an eye, the mother and son returned to their living space. Looking at her son making his way towards the spring water with all his might, she carried him to the edge of the spring, but unexpectedly, the little one kicked his legs and fell from her arms into the spring water, which scared her terribly. Just as she was about to jump in to rescue him, she found that the little one was floating comfortably on the surface of the spring water, looking very content.

  Zhan Light Crazy finally let out a sigh of relief, thinking that his son had been absorbing life elements from the womb, so he must like it! Moreover, seeing that he didn't seem to be in any danger, he finally put his mind at ease. After waiting for several hours without seeing him sink, he appeared in the cave, ready to clean up.

  As soon as she came out, she found that the two leopards that could always be seen were gone. Could it be that they didn't want to help her feed her son, so "nanny" took the child and ran away? No way!

  She walked out of the cave and searched all possible places, but found nothing. With her head hung low in disappointment, she was walking back when she heard human voices. Curious, she decided to go take a look.

  Two groups of people, one side with five seriously injured people and the other side with eight arrogant people. What's unbearable is that she found her family's "nanny", but who can tell her what happened, why her nanny was lying in a pool of blood?

  "I'm telling you, don't be arrogant. Even if we all die here, justice will prevail and retribution won't be avoided. You won't have a good ending either." A heavily injured big man said with hatred while covering his wound.

  "Haha, retribution? Go tell Yama (the King of Hell) about it!" The person who seemed to be the leader on the opposite side bellowed.

  Just then, Zhang Le burst out, "Can anyone tell me what's going on here?"

  Both sides looked over here, when did this place have one more person, how didn't they discover whether it was an enemy or a friend?

  "What's going on? Didn't you hear? Tell me what's happening. And who killed these two leopards?" Seeing no one paying attention to her, Zhan Qing's face darkened.

  "Don't meddle in other people's business, or you'll leave your little life here!" Someone else spoke up from the side with more people.

  "You, tell me, what's going on?" He pointed to a little girl who was injured, his tone impatient and rough, as he casually picked up a short knife from the ground.

  The little girl was startled by the cold gaze and quickly recounted what had happened, "We came here with our teacher to recruit students. We were resting in the woods when I saw a small leopard. Since it didn't seem fierce at all, I played with it. However, Lin Jiao Jiao from Senluo Academy wanted to take the leopard away, but I wouldn't let her. They started fighting us and even ambushed us, managing to snatch the leopard away. The leopard didn't want to go with them, so they slammed it to death. Later, a larger leopard appeared and fought them, but was also killed by them..." As she spoke, the little girl tearfully cried.

  The storm in the eyes of the war is getting more and more, at first, a soft heart saved them, living together for two months, there are some feelings too, the little leopard is mischievous, the mother leopard is proud, it's still very interesting to be with them, and her son has just been born, needs the mother leopard's nursing, now, they were killed?

  "It was you who killed our family's nanny?" The knife tip pointed, Zhan Qing's body was filled with murderous aura.

  Everyone was stunned by her words, wet nurse? What and what? However, it can still be seen that she is hostile.

  "What are you talking about? What wet nurse? Know your place and scram, don't interfere in other people's business here." The leader of the group unconsciously tightened his grip on the weapon in his hand.

  "Are they the ones you killed?" Nunu asked, her eyes fixed on the two leopards.

  Overwhelmed by her murderous aura, one of the small henchmen sneered and said, "It was us who killed him, what can you do?"

  "It was you who killed him, that makes things easier." With that, he gripped the short knife in his hand and with one swift stab, slashed open the throat of the arrogant youth from earlier, leaving him clutching at his throat, eyes wide with shock.

  Everyone was shocked by her movements, and in the blink of an eye, a life was gone. They didn't even see how she made her move. However, at the same time they were stunned, Zhan Light Crazy decisively harvested three more lives.

  Dodged an attack, War lightly and smoothly took the opportunity to get close to the enemy's back, the blade swept across his neck, splashing blood all over the ground. The remaining three people looked at each other in dismay, only then did they realize their fear, had they provoked a strong martial artist?

  Three people who value their lives quickly formed a seal, and the spiritual power array under their feet flashed. One great spiritual master, two spiritual masters, before they could prepare, Zhan Qingcang rushed in front of them at high speed, ending their lives. A hard collision? Zhan Qingcang never did things that were beyond his abilities. Now, without a single thread of spiritual power in his body, how could he openly fight? There was only one way to catch them off guard and win, which is the king's way!

  The five injured men had never seen such a scene before, in such a short time, the person who severely injured them was killed, the action was fast, ruthless, accurate, and neat, making them convinced.

  He threw away the knife, War Light Crazy picked up the little leopard and put it next to its mother. After that, they were never seen again. He closed the eyes of the mother leopard that had lost their luster and let out a sigh.

  Chen Li, who had been waiting by her side all along, hastily cupped his fists as she stood up, "I am Chen Li, instructor at Yunshu College. Thank you, miss, for saving my life."

  "Never mind, it wasn't for your sake anyway." Zhan Qingyan waved her hand casually, showing that she didn't care.

  "No matter what the reason is, the fact that you saved us is undeniable. I think you should be a martial artist! Coincidentally, I am in charge of admissions for Yunshu Academy this time, and I hope you can join our Yunshu Academy." He said, handing her an admission quota.

  Yunshu College? Never heard of it, but it won't hurt to take a look. After all, if she wants to get stronger, having orthodox teaching and guidance from teachers is better than figuring things out on her own.

  "If I have time, I'll go." The hospital admission quota was withdrawn, and the war lightly waved his hand and walked away, leaving everyone with a small but not to be underestimated back view.

  "Mentor, why did you give the spot to her? So many people have been dreaming of this opportunity and you just gave it to her?" a young man muttered in discontent.

  "Go, you know what, this girl is not simple! Not to mention her skills are not ordinary, but also her temperament is not comparable to ordinary people. She will never show mercy to her enemies, but she will be kind-hearted towards her own people."

  "Teacher, where is our own person? We don't know her either..."

  "Stupid, didn't you see how she avenged her family's wet nurse?"

  "What's going on? Mentor, I don't understand..."

  Five teachers and students supported each other, walking further and further away...
