My Wife is A Sword God

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?”

“What are you all standing around for? Hurry back and gather your belongings!”

Boom!

A thunderous roar like that of a dragon tore open the sky, illuminating the entire world in an instant with blinding brightness.

The sudden, tremendous rumbling sound made many citizens tremble in fright, thinking it was the Thunder God venting his rage upon the world.

“Ah!” In the main hall, Ya’an was flustered and frightened, her face drained of color.

It was because Liu Jianli’s complexion had abruptly turned deathly pale, with beads of sweat rolling down her forehead.

Not only that, a puddle of water had mysteriously appeared below her belly.

“I..I only touched it a few times. I didn’t expect this to happen,” Ya’an babbled in a panic. With her lack of relevant knowledge, she thought the phenomenon was caused by her careless actions.

At the same time, Cang Feilan also showed the same reaction.

“Why…why is this happening?” Ya’an shuddered.

“Miss, Miss Cang, are you alright?” Lan Ningshuang asked anxiously.

The Second Mother and the Social Butterfly mother-in-law immediately reacted upon seeing this: “Their water broke, the babies are coming!”

“Ningshuang, hurry up and get Grandma Liu!”

“Ah? Okay, okay.” Lan Ningshuang responded hastily.

From the side, Cang Mu’s brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. “You’re too slow. I’ll take you there.”

Without waiting for Lan Ningshuang to react, she grabbed her and transformed into a rainbow streak of light, shooting towards the horizon.

“Big Brother, look at the sky!” Qin An gazed up at the heavens from outside the main hall. Above the vast Imperial City, thunder dragons roared and a sea of lightning churned.

Suddenly a bolt of thunder fell, and its target was the Qin Mansion!

Seeing this, the Second Mother let out a startled cry. Qin An’s eyebrows furrowed as he swiftly drew his sword and slashed upwards.

The raging thunder dragon dissipated into smoke upon confronting him.

However, this was merely the beginning. More thunderbolts gathered above the Qin residence, brimming with potential force.

This scale was no less imposing than the Confirmation for dominance of Heaven and Earth!

“Are the two little fellows about to be born? How could they stir up such a commotion?” By the Ninth Bend River, the Divine Guardian murmured softly.

On top of the Heavenly Tower of the Grand Literature Academy, Shen Li looked at the vast sea of lightning with a worried expression. “They’re not even born yet, but they are already causing such heavenly phenomena.”

Beside him, Sun Qi said, “Should we step in and help Junior Brother withstand this Heavenly Tribulation?”

The others did not say much upon hearing this, but their expressions clearly showed agreement with the suggestion.

However, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher shook his head, stopping their intentions. “This tribulation must be borne by Qin Feng himself. He would not wish for others to intervene rashly.”

“Why is that?” Xu Lexian asked in confusion.

Sun Qi pondered briefly before realizing, “When the third junior brother becomes a father, you will understand the truth.”

As a father, he naturally has to bear the disaster of his own children!

The sea of lightning continued to gather, and the sky grew increasingly ominous.

Deep within those oppressive clouds, it seemed some ferocious beast lay in wait, eyeing everything greedily.

The relentless thunderbolts were continuously shattered by Qin An, but to those numerous thunder dragons hovering above, it was merely a drop in the bucket.

Cang Mu and her party went and came back. Old Granny Liu had disheveled gray-white hair and a look of lingering fear on her face.

If she had not traveled so much, an ordinary elderly woman might not have been able to withstand such speed.

After landing, Granny Liu patted her chest and smoothed her rapidly beating heart.

She looked up at the sea of lightning, the wrinkles on her face all scrunched together.

But she did not waste time, she hurriedly entered the main hall to assess Liu Jianli and Cang Feilan’s current conditions before issuing a series of orders.

“They can’t be moved now, so they’ll have to give birth here. Someone fetch two cotton quilts and lay them on the table!”

“Support them onto the table and lay them on their backs facing up. Ningshuang, come here and assist me!”

“All the men leave the main hall and shut the doors and windows to block out external disturbances.”

“Light more candles to brighten up the hall!”

The others accepted the orders and began busying themselves.

The social butterfly mother-in-law asked anxiously, “Granny Liu, what should I do?”

Granny Liu glanced at her and replied without hesitation, “Madam, you just quietly stand by the side.”

No need to create more troubles.

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.
