Chapter 8 The Day of Birth
The day drew closer, and Gu Yuena consumed large amounts of tonics daily, all
for the sake of the child in her womb.
"Baby~"
Gu Yuena gently stroked her belly.
She was now unable to move easily,
but the thought of her soon-to-be-born child warmed her heart.
"Mommy is all ready and waiting for your birth," a smile appeared on Gu Yuena's lips.
Suddenly, a tiny hand left a mark on her belly.
Gu Yuena's hand felt like a large hand holding a small one.
This allowed Gu Yuena to more directly feel the little life within her.
"Mommy knows you're eager too, be patient, the time is almost here," Gu Yuena said softly.
Looking at the tiny handprint on her belly, her thoughts drifted back to her previous life.
In her previous life, she had no ties, her heart filled only with the thought of revenge.
Although she prepared for revenge every day, her heart was empty.
But in this life, while she still sought revenge, her heart was filled with this child.
Even for the sake of her child, she absolutely could not lose this time.
Thinking of her revenge in her previous life, Gu Yuena thought of the Demon Dragon.
"This shouldn't be. Judging by the timeline, the Demon Dragon should already be near the Star Dou Great Forest."
In her previous life, around the same time, the Demon Dragon found Gu Yuena.
But now, Gu Yuena's efforts to find the Demon Dragon had yielded no results.
Di Tian would definitely do everything in his power to fulfill her orders, so if even he couldn't find it, then the Demon Dragon could only have never appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Strange..."
Gu Yuena frowned and called out to Di Tian.
Soon, Di Tian arrived at the cave entrance.
"Master, what are your orders?" Di Tian was currently almost entirely within the core area.
He had to ensure Gu Yuena's absolute safety.
As for the Demon Dragon's whereabouts, he had Xiong Jun and the other soul beasts search for it every day.
However, since he started searching himself, so much time had passed, and they hadn't found a trace of the Demon Dragon, let alone any trace of it.
It was as if the Demon Dragon had never appeared at all.
Di Tian was very puzzled.
But Gu Yuena's orders were never arbitrary; if she said she wanted to find the Demon Dragon, then the Demon Dragon definitely existed.
"The Demon Dragon, haven't you found it yet?" Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian.
Di Tian respectfully looked at the ground beneath Gu Yuena's feet and nodded slightly.
"Not yet..."
"Sigh..." Gu Yuena had a headache.
So much time had passed, where had the Demon Dragon gone?
How could this life take such a completely different turn from the last?
"Could it be... that he was fundamentally erased by some kind of power of rules?" Gu Yuena even began to doubt her own memories.
However, after a long while, she shook her head, "No, impossible."
"With such power, how could I not know?"
Without the Demon Dragon, this revenge would likely be very difficult.
After all, in the last life, the Demon Dragon was the main force behind the revenge.
She recalled her encounter with the Demon Dragon in her last life; the timing matched, the location was correct.
The only difference was that Gu Yuena was pregnant in this life.
So the Demon Dragon's complete disappearance seemed very strange.
But for some reason, Gu Yuena wasn't as panicked as she had imagined.
In this life, she is still not alone.
Her child might grow up to be even stronger than the demonic dragon!
Gu Yuena frowned slightly.
"Um... Master." Di Tian, watching from the side, couldn't help but remind her.
"What?" Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian. Looking for someone in Karachi today "I've heard rumors among humans that a mother's mood during pregnancy can affect the health of the fetus," Di Tian said seriously. "I hope Master won't worry about not finding the Demon Dragon, but will consider the little master's well-being."
Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then chuckled.
She hadn't expected that her pregnancy would cause the Black Dragon King in front of her to start paying attention to pregnancy matters.
"Don't worry,"
Gu Yuena gently stroked her belly.
"Your little master will be born soon."
"Yes, Master's delivery room is ready," Di Tian smiled as well.
Actually, calling it a delivery room was a bit of a stretch; it was more like preparations based on the rooms where pregnant women gave birth in humans, which they had gathered.
For example, there was a bed, warm and soft bedding, and so on.
"There's even a delivery room..." Gu Yuena was somewhat amused and exasperated. Ordinary soul beasts didn't have so many fancy things for childbirth.
Didn't they usually just find a pile of grass to start?
Gu Yuena had already found a cave, which was considered high-standard for soul beasts.
She hadn't expected that Zi Ji and Bi Ji would actually set up a delivery room so carefully.
"Let's go then. Call Zi Ji and Bi Ji in, we'll go to the delivery room." Gu Yue Na sensed that the time was drawing near, and it was indeed time to prepare.
At this moment, Qin Feng could hear the conversation between Di Tian and Gu Yue Na.
He hadn't expected Gu Yue Na to be so persistent, still searching for the Demon Dragon's trail after so long.
This made Qin Feng even more certain that he couldn't be exposed.
Now he also felt that he was about to be born, the time was very close.
Thinking that he didn't have many more sign-ins left, he felt a little regretful.
Every sign-in was one less.
[Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for increased mental strength]
[Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for increased physical strength]
[Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for increased soul power, to be issued after birth]
[Sign-in successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining...]
Feeling himself getting stronger with each sign-in, Qin Feng remembered that he still had a lot of rewards temporarily stored by the system.
Upon birth, all the rewards would be issued at once, and almost all of his attributes would be maxed out.
Finally, the day of birth arrived.
Inside the delivery room, only Gu Yue Na was there.
Di Tian and the others were waiting anxiously outside the delivery room.
"Are we really just going to wait here?" Xiong Jun was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth outside the delivery room.
"What else can we do? You want to go in? Be careful, the master might kill you with just one look." Zi Ji grinned,
but her face was also full of worry.
"We just need to wait, the master will be fine." Although Di Tian said this, his tightly clenched fists betrayed his inner turmoil.
Bi Ji clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed silently. Please,
everything must go smoothly.
"Ah~!"
At this moment, Gu Yue Na's painful groan came from inside the delivery room.
All the ferocious beasts knew that the birth of their little master had reached the most crucial stage.
Everyone was holding their breath for Gu Yue Na.
Soon, there was silence in the delivery room.
All the ferocious beasts looked at each other, their faces extremely pale, even their breathing was labored.
But they dared not rush in to check.
After an unknown amount of time, a cry came from the delivery room, echoing throughout the entire barrier!
"Wah~ Wah~ Wah~"
The little master was born!
