Chương 1360: First cry (2)

Inside the room, Shen Li was on his fours. This time since everyone was prepared, they arranged for a rather experienced mid-husband who knew what to do to ease the pain of a mer who was in labour. 

"Continue breathing, in and out," Master Zhou said to Shen Li who followed his commands even though he felt like he was about to faint. He gasped and panted, while his core shuddered and clenched. He could feel each cramp getting stronger and stronger, which made his head swoon. 

Master Zhou sensed his weakening condition. He turned to look at Fang Chi and Fifth Master Cui before saying, "Feed him a few spoons of the nourishing soup. Make sure not to overfeed, just three spoons will do." 

"Y...Yes…" Fifth Master Cui handed the nourishing soup to Fang Chi who thanked him. He then scooped a few spoons and fed Shen Li who was gritting his teeth. It was hard given that he was closing his mouth every time, he tried to feed him the soup.
