Chapter 3105

Yun Ling’s eyes still held a spark of vitality. Seeing Yun Meng arrive, a smile touched her lips. "Yun Meng, you’ve come."

Yun Meng walked over with a warm smile, while Yan Xizhong set the items he had brought down to the side.

Yun Meng took Yun Ling’s hand. "You’re nearly seven months along. We couldn’t rest easy, so we came. We’ll stay here for the next few days to ensure your delivery goes smoothly."

Yun Ling rested her hand on her belly. "This child is blessed. It’s a fortune to have you all here to help."

Yan Xizhong took a bite of an apple. "Three days after birth, the child must be sent to the Underworld. I only hope you won’t blame me then. The First Soul can stay with you until the baby is full month old."

"Really? I can stay with Ling-er until the baby is a month old?" The First Soul’s eyes shone with surprise.

"It wasn’t originally possible. But a few days ago, I communicated with my father. My mother was there, so she had the Traveler send specially prepared Meng Po Soup. After Yun Ling gives birth, you’ll drink one bottle a day. There are thirty bottles. Once they’re gone, you must return to the Underworld to face judgment," Yan Xizhong explained.

Yun Ling felt happy for her husband. Then she asked, "Where in the Underworld will my child be sent?"

"Newly born soul-children must be placed in the Reincarnation Pool of the Underworld to strengthen their souls. After that, they’ll be sent to my grandparents’ care. They will raise the child and guide him in cultivation. In the future, he will at least become a Yin Envoy. His starting point is much higher than yours. Perhaps when you reincarnate one day, you’ll see him escorting you."

Yan Xizhong spoke slowly.

Sending the soul-child to Zhu Shun Yao and her wife was indeed the best option. Yan Xizhong had consulted Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, and they had agreed.

Hearing this, Yun Ling’s eyes showed both joy and reluctance. She was happy her child had such a bright future, but sad she would leave her just three days after birth.

Yan Xizhong glanced at Yun Ling. "Having the child stay in the mortal realm for three days is the maximum we can do. It’s a favor granted by the Heavenly Dao, considering my parents’ face. So don’t think about keeping him longer."

Yun Ling smiled faintly and shook her head. "I won’t. You’re right about one thing: I love this child deeply. Because I love her, I will treat her with extra care. she is hard-won, and her survival is not easy. As long as she lives, I am happy."

Yun Ling knew she couldn’t be with her child forever. Spending three days with her after birth was already a miracle. She didn’t complain; she only hoped her child would grow up safely.

Yan Xizhong was satisfied with her attitude. she nodded slightly. "Rest assured. The child will be perfectly safe in our family."

Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng settled in.

Although they were in the mountains, the scenery was beautiful. Before Yun Ling gave birth, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng lived comfortably.

A week passed. Yun Ling’s due date arrived.

Yun Ling’s labor pains began in the evening. Since she was giving birth to a soul-child, they couldn’t go to a hospital. She had to give birth in the cave.

As soon as Yun Ling felt the pain, Yan Xizhong began setting up a Gathering Yin Array around the cave to ensure a safe delivery.

Yun Meng helped Yun Ling inside the cave.

The First Soul assisted as well.

Yan Xizhong handed a bottle of pills to Yun Meng. "Give this to Yun Ling. These are Origin-Birthing Pills. They will maintain the mother’s stamina. When the time is right, the child will be born smoothly."

"Okay." Yun Meng didn’t ask questions. She did whatever Yan Xizhong said.

Soon, Yun Meng gave Yun Ling the pills.

After taking them, Yun Ling felt much better. Although the pain remained, her strength returned quickly.

"This child is really testing us. Why won’t he come out?" The First Soul wiped Yun Ling’s sweat with a pained expression.

Yan Xizhong said, "The birth time of a soul-child is fixed. It is always the Zi hour. So we must wait."

"(⊙o⊙)…" The First Soul was speechless. She looked outside. It was still light. "It’s not even five o’clock yet. The Zi hour is the first hour of tomorrow. There are still several hours to go."

Yan Xizhong nodded. "There’s no way around it. Although I’ve set up the Gathering Yin Array, soul-children are born at this hour because it is the time with the strongest Yin energy in the day."

Yan Xizhong didn’t hide the truth.

After a wave of pain passed, Yun Ling said, "It’s fine. I can endure it. But I must say, giving birth is really painful. So, Yun Meng, when you give birth, choose a cesarean section."

Yun Meng raised an eyebrow. "Sister, look at the time. You’re still worrying about my childbirth?"

Yun Ling sighed. "I can’t help it. Besides, I’m using this to distract myself."

"Dear, no matter how you distract yourself, it will still hurt when it hurts," Yun Meng said mercilessly.

The First Soul felt heartbroken. "Yun Meng, couldn’t you just not say that?"

"Do you want me to lie? To say giving birth doesn’t hurt? Even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe that," Yun Meng said with a grin.

Yun Ling laughed helplessly. "You just love to tease me." She patted her belly. "Baby, don’t listen to your aunt."

Seeing others bully his wife, Yan Xizhong was naturally displeased. "Self-deception is understandable."

The First Soul glared at Yan Xizhong. He really didn’t feel the pain.

Regardless, they had to wait out the time.

Since they knew the child would be born at the Zi hour, they could only endure until then.

However, a soul-child was not an ordinary child. Even before birth, the Yin energy around them grew heavier. Consequently, some unwanted things were attracted.

Yan Xizhong simply sat at the cave entrance. "You do your best. I’ll guard the entrance."

With Yan Xizhong sitting there, the attracted entities dared not move. They could only watch him, unable to enter. It was quite a sight.

Yan Xizhong didn’t mind. He took out a book and started reading. As long as he was there, those strange things couldn’t enter. And going inside wouldn’t help. Giving birth was something the parents inside had to handle themselves.

The chaotic entities outside seemed to increase. Yan Xizhong occasionally looked up. When there were too many, he waved his hand, and a batch would disappear. Then he continued reading. When more appeared, he waved again. It seemed like an easy job.
