บท 130: Constant Joy! The Queen is Pregnant!
"Midwife!"
Upon realizing the situation, Gu Fei immediately called out.
As soon as he spoke, two midwives who had been brought in earlier quickly rushed over.
"Madam is going into labor!"
The two midwives took one look at Xiao Yi Xian and immediately began preparing for the delivery.
To avoid interfering, Gu Fei escorted Xiao Yi Xian to the soft bed in the room and then waited anxiously outside.
"Is Xiao Yi Xian about to give birth?"
Zi Yan and the others heard Gu Fei's shout and gathered outside the bamboo house.
"Madam, just a bit more effort!"
"Ahh!"
Inside the room, the midwives' urgent shouts and Xiao Yi Xian's intermittent cries of pain kept Gu Fei's heart in constant turmoil. He paced back and forth, his mind racing with tension, anticipation, and excitement- all sorts of emotions swirling inside him.
"Dear, don't worry too much. Sister Xiao Yi Xian is well-prepared, everything will be fine!" Queen Medusa gently comforted Gu Fei as she held his hand, sensing his anxiety as if the pain was his own.
"Madam, just a little more, the baby is halfway out!"
"Waa~ Waa~"
Soon, the loud cry of a newborn rang out, bringing relief to Gu Fei's heart.
"The baby is born!"
Gu Fei couldn't wait to rush inside, but then remembered to be gentle, slowing his pace as he carefully pushed open the door.
Inside the room, Xiao Yi Xian was covered in sweat, her face pale yet adorned with a sweet smile.
Gu Fei entered the room, but instead of looking at the child first, he went straight to Xiao Yi Xian.
"Are you feeling okay? Any discomfort?"
Gu Fei was most concerned that there might have been complications during the childbirth, but thankfully, there were none.
"Take this pill."
Gu Fei handed her a medicinal pill he had prepared in advance to help with her recovery.
This pill was of the eighth grade.
Xiao Yi Xian accepted the pill, feeling its pure medicinal properties. A blush appeared on her face, her heart filled with indescribable sweetness and emotion. Gu Fei had entered the room, but his first concern had been for her, not the child. This deeply touched her heart, filling her with immense happiness.
"Congratulations, young master, mother and daughter are both safe."
One of the midwives offered her congratulations to Gu Fei.
"A daughter… It's a girl?"
"Look at the baby!"
Upon hearing this, a maid brought the child over.
Gu Fei took the baby and placed her where Xiao Yi Xian could see her.
In the swaddling cloth, the rosy-cheeked baby was crying loudly, her cries very strong.
"Don't cry, don't cry!"
Gu Fei, feeling a bit overwhelmed, tried to soothe her.
"The baby just came into the world, and the environment is unfamiliar. It's normal for her to cry…" Xiao Yi Xian chuckled.
"Yes… Our daughter is so beautiful, just like you."
Gu Fei nodded, smiling with joy.
"The baby just arrived; her eyes aren't even open yet. How can you tell?" Xiao Yi Xian teased him gently.
Soon after, the midwife stepped out of the room to announce the good news to those waiting outside.
Cai Lin, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin then quietly entered the room.
"Is this Brother Gu Fei's child?" Qing Lin asked excitedly upon seeing the baby.
"It's a little girl. I must have looked like this when I was little… but why is she crying so much? It's kind of cute."
Zi Yan leaned over, initially thinking of calling her noisy but then changing her mind.
After all, she called Xiao Yi Xian "sister," so this was her precious niece!
Is this what it feels like to be an elder? Zi Yan found herself enjoying this feeling.
Cai Lin watched the sweet scene between Xiao Yi Xian and Gu Fei, placing a hand on her own belly.
Recently, she had been feeling some movement there as well.
She suspected she might be pregnant too, but hadn't had the chance to tell Gu Fei yet.
"Have you decided on a name for the baby?"
Xiao Yi Xian suddenly asked.
When it came to naming, Gu Fei had been at a loss before. He felt that no name seemed quite right or met his expectations.
But now, seeing Xiao Yi Xian's sweet smile, he had an answer.
"We'll call her Xian Le…"
(TL/n: When translated the name can either be Xian Le or Xian Yue. Since it's an OC, I can't look up the wiki to be sure as well. So you guys have to decide, which do you prefer: Xian Le or Xian Yue?)
Gu Fei responded with a smile.
He chose the name "Xian Le" because Xiao Yi Xian had endured much misfortune and hardship in her youth, only finding some peace after meeting him. He hoped their daughter would live a life filled with happiness.
"Xian Le… Happiness, a wonderful name!"
Xiao Yi Xian agreed wholeheartedly.
...
The arrival of little Xian Le brought much joy and laughter to the mountain.
As Gu Fei's daughter, she naturally received all the love and care from everyone on the mountain.
Venerable Tian Huo, in particular, was so overjoyed that he treated little Xian Le almost like his own granddaughter.
Zi Yan, who had previously been the youngest in the group, now had someone even smaller around. Rather than feeling any rivalry, she was eager to share all her best things with Xian Le.
When Xiao Yi Xian grew tired of caring for the baby, Zi Yan would take over.
Little Xian Le loved playing with Zi Yan, to the point where Xiao Yi Xian jokingly complained that Xian Le seemed to prefer Zi Yan over her.
In the Gu realm, Gu Fei's grandfather, Gu Lie, was overjoyed when he heard about the birth of his great-granddaughter.
He spent a long time pondering what gift to prepare for her, eventually deciding that his most valuable asset was his strength.
So, he prepared a rather unusual gift.
"Grandfather, you've arrived."
When Gu Fei heard that Gu Lie had come, he brought Xiao Yi Xian and little Xian Le to see him.
"Come, Xian Le, let your great-grandfather hold you."
Gu Lie smiled warmly. Even though he tried his best to suppress his aura, the faintest hint of it made little Xian Le cry out in fear before she even reached his arms.
"Don't be scared, Xian Le, this is your great-grandfather. He loves you very much. If anyone dares to bully you, just mention his name."
Gu Fei comforted his daughter, though she was too young to understand.
After some time, little Xian Le finally settled in Gu Lie's arms.
Gu Lie cradled her as if she were a precious treasure, a stark contrast to his usual imposing presence as the Black Submerged King.
"Great-grandfather has a gift for you."
As he spoke, Gu Lie produced a spatial jade slip.
The gift he had prepared for little Xian Le was this very item, personally refined by him.
Seeing this gift, even Gu Fei couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth.
A spatial jade slip requires one to crush it to use it. Little Xian Le had just opened her eyes; she couldn't even hold it, let alone crush it.
This gift would likely sit unused for a long time.
"Xian Le, thank your great-grandfather…"
Although thinking this, Gu Fei still played along with Gu Lie to amuse his daughter.
Little Xian Le, of course, had no idea what the adults were saying, her dark eyes darting around curiously.
"Hahaha, I am now a part of a four-generation family!" Gu Lie laughed heartily, eager to spread the news throughout the Gu realm.
(TL/n: We still have no info on Gu Fei's parents...)
The elders of the Gu Clan envied Gu Lie greatly and urged their own children and grandchildren to hurry up and have children. If they couldn't surpass Gu Lie in battle, they might at least compete in something else.
But the good news for Gu Fei wasn't limited to just this.
A month ago, Cai Lin had already felt the presence of life in her belly, though it was still very faint at the time.
But now, she could clearly feel the signs of pregnancy.
"It's time to tell my husband."
As the father of the child, Gu Fei needed to know as soon as possible.
She approached Gu Fei while he was caring for little Xian Le.
Gu Fei knew Cai Lin well.
Just by looking at her expression, he could tell she had something important to say.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Fei asked with concern, moving closer and pulling her into his arms.
She gazed deeply into his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm pregnant."
Gu Fei...
"A double blessing!"
After a moment of silence, Cai Lin was met with Gu Fei's joyful reaction. He hadn't expected that just after having Xian Le, Cai Lin would already be showing signs of pregnancy.
His abilities must be extraordinary to have both of them pregnant so quickly.
With the experience of caring for Xiao Yi Xian, Gu Fei was no longer as flustered.
"From now on, you must rest well and focus on nurturing the baby."
Gu Fei immediately began taking care of Cai Lin, but she gently refused.
"We snake-people are different from humans in pregnancy. Our gestation period is much longer, especially since I am now the Ancient Bloodline holder of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. The pregnancy will be even longer."
"How long will it take?"
"About three to five years."
"That long?"
Gu Fei looked at her belly and realized that, indeed, the physique of the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was equivalent to that of a magical beast. For magical beasts, giving birth was much more challenging than for humans, so three to five years was normal.
"During pregnancy, will you need special elixirs to nourish the baby?"
Gu Fei remembered something important.
She nodded slightly, her lips curving into a smile. "Yes, in our clan, we use secret methods to nourish the fetus during pregnancy. This can enhance the baby's bloodline and make their potential even more terrifying after birth."
"The strongest secret method passed down in our snake tribe is the Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill…"
"Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill? That's just a mere seventh-grade pill, not nearly good enough. Our child deserves something better!"
Before she could finish, Gu Fei interrupted her, his words filling her with even more emotion.
"I once acquired an eighth-grade pill recipe called the Dragon Soul Sacred Blood Pill. It serves a similar purpose to the Heaven Soul Blood Bone Pill but is infinitely more effective!"
Cai Lin was deeply moved as Gu Fei mentioned an eighth-grade pill. The prenatal medicine he had given Xiao Yi Xian earlier had also been an eighth-grade pill.
It was clear that she and Xiao Yi Xian held equal importance in Gu Fei's heart.
"All you need to do is rest well; leave the pill refining to me. I'll make sure both you and the baby receive the best nourishment possible!"
Gu Fei helped Cai Lin back to rest and instructed Zi Yan and Qing Lin to pay extra attention.
"Cai'er is pregnant too!"
"This is awesome!"
Zi Yan's little face lit up with excitement, as if she were the one who was pregnant instead of Queen Medusa.
