Chapter 149 Are you accommodating me?
The grass by the stream was fragrant, and occasionally some flowers and petals fell from the trees. Leng Huan lifted her skirt and walked to the water's edge. She looked at her reflection in the clear water, and her pregnant belly was clearly showing and could no longer be hidden.
The fairy's long hair reached her shoulders, adorned with a few headbands and minimal head ornaments; her all-white attire made her appear overly serene.
Leng Huan raised her hand, revealing a small white jade fox hairpin. She held it and stroked it for a while, suddenly realizing that so many years had passed, yet the hairpin remained as it was.
She touched her belly, which was as big as a small watermelon, and realized that she was already more than seven months pregnant. Leng Huan wiped her face and suddenly put the hairpin back on her hair bun, something she hadn't done in a long time.
The wind blew and the flowers fell like rain. Fu Xun stopped beside her, his heartstrings trembling slightly.
The fairy turned around, stretched out her hand to him, and said, "Go. Go back."
“Okay.” The young man also reached out his hand.
As the sun sets, their two shadows are cast long, long shadows as they walk hand in hand through flowers and green grass, heading towards a small boat in the distance.
"This location is good, at the foot of the mountain, so you don't have to worry about high-level monsters coming. The view is also very good... You've chosen a great spot."
"What matters most is that my senior sister likes it."
"If I don't like it, do you want to change seats?"
"of course."
"...Are you accommodating me?"
"No, it's me obeying you."
Hearing this, Leng Huan held back for a moment, but finally groaned, "Then why aren't you in bed?"
Fu Xun stopped beside the small boat, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "Do you want to now?"
Ah bah bah!
"Don't say that!" Leng Huan suddenly became emboldened and jumped up like a rabbit, grabbing his cheek and pulling hard: "That's not what I meant at all, I was accusing you! You talk a good game, but you don't listen to a word!"
Afraid she would fall, Fu Xun had no choice but to hold her and steady them both, while pretending to beg for mercy: "Brother Huan, have mercy! I'll never dare to do it again!"
"..." Unexpectedly, he was so shameless. Leng Huan's impression of him was shattered. After making a fuss for a while, she let him go.
"Don't think I don't know, men's words are deceitful!" Humph! Who hasn't been a man before?
Fu Xun: "..."
Leng Huan punched him fiercely before stepping onto the small boat, but his Nascent Soul stage body was unaffected. Before turning around, she couldn't contain her anger and stomped on him hard before getting into the boat.
"..."
Of course, you can't reason with her at a time like this. Fu Xun suppressed the upward curve of his lips, stepped onto the small boat, and saw that she was angrily munching on a spirit fruit.
-
Since that day, Leng Huan found that he stopped vomiting, slept well, and had a good appetite.
When he felt refreshed, he would drag Fu Xun into the mountains... to hunt and gather all sorts of spiritual herbs and fruits.
After a month of this idyllic life of eating, sleeping, and going into the mountains, Leng Huan suddenly felt uneasy.
The cause was—
“Fu Xun, I suddenly remembered something,” Leng Huan said, twirling a blade of grass between his fingers with a slightly nervous expression. Under Fu Xun’s questioning gaze, he asked, “Can you deliver babies?”
Fu Xun: !
Without panicking, after a moment's thought, Fu Xun nodded: "Yes."
He secretly wiped the sweat from his brow. The Yun clan had a lot of inherited books, and quite a few on clan medicine. Fu Xun had already taken the time to study them carefully.
But now Leng Huan was very suspicious that what he said was exaggerated. "How could you know that? You're not lying to me, are you? If you really don't know... then I can only leave it to fate..."
Fu Xun reached out his hand, gesturing to take hers: "I can learn; there are relevant texts in the inheritance."
Leng Huan placed her hand in his palm: "Really?"
"Ah."
The two of them walked back hand in hand.
Leng Huan thought to himself, "Wow, this is an amazing inheritance!" Then the two discussed the matter of having children.
To be honest, if her belly hadn't been getting bigger and bigger, she would have thought it was all an illusion.
Every time she wakes up, she touches her belly and then gets kicked by the little one. She only feels at ease when she feels fetal movement!
Good heavens! Habits can be so terrible.
Sometimes, he would sit on the side of the boat, holding his stomach, lost in thought, and eventually fall asleep. When he woke up, he would be lying in the small boat, with Fu Xun meditating or studying a jade slip next to him.
The small boat formation remained open, and Fu Xun would occasionally clear the nearby hills. When he returned that day, Leng Huan was still awake.
"Senior sister, let's go, I've prepared the cave dwelling."
Leng Huan paused for a moment, then shook off his sleepiness and stood up. "Where is it?"
My body is getting heavier and heavier. I don't want to move without using spiritual power, but when I do use it, my muscles and bones ache. I can barely maintain my spiritual power at the Nascent Soul stage. I need to cultivate for a period of time every day to maintain the fetus's needs, otherwise I would have fallen to the peak of the Golden Core stage long ago.
"Don't move." Fu Xun picked her up and casually deactivated the formation on the small boat, then put it away: "It's on Xiaoyashan."
By drawing a spatial rift and sensing the marked location, a Nascent Soul cultivator can immediately teleport.
Leng Huan felt a blur before his eyes, and they landed on a platform halfway up a low cliff. Inside was the cave dwelling that Fu Xun had spent several days preparing.
Leng Huan felt that this fairy had somehow turned her into a wilderness survival story, a tale of life in a cave.
Upon closer inspection, the cave was flat and smooth, with no sharp edges on the stone walls. It was divided into three areas, separated by folding screens: the master bedroom, the second bedroom, and the delivery room.
After staring at Fu Xun strangely for a few moments, Leng Huan finally couldn't help but give him a "6". The potted plants, storage, stone table and benches... were all there.
Stepping into the master bedroom, one is greeted by a large, carved bed with fluttering curtains and a fragrant aroma, instantly adding a touch of exquisite elegance to the cave.
It felt a little deserted, but with the warm sun array activated, the cave was warm and cozy, so it was actually quite nice.
Fu Xun felt a little guilty. If he had discovered her pregnancy earlier, he definitely wouldn't have entered the secret realm. Now, he could only try his best to make it comfortable so that she could take good care of herself.
He asked, "Senior sister, is there anything else that needs improvement?"
"No, this is fine," Leng Huan said without any complaints. Having his own bed was enough. He hadn't had a proper bed in a long time. Sitting on the edge of his bed, Leng Huan was very satisfied.
Fu Xun took out the tea set, brewed tea with hot water using spiritual energy, and then placed it on the stone table by her bedside. In the spacious center, which served as the living room, there was also spare hot tea on the large stone table, which was kept warm by an array.
He handed her a cup of tea, saying, "I know we're in a difficult situation right now, Senior Sister. Please bear with it for a while, and we'll talk again after you give birth..."
Leng Huan suddenly grabbed his arm, interrupting him: "Don't say those things, you've already done very well."
To be honest, if she were in his shoes, she wouldn't know if she could do as well as him. But none of that matters. What Leng Huan is more worried about now is having a baby. To be honest, he's a little scared and nervous.
Taking the cup from his hand, Leng Huan held it in her hands to warm them. There was only a month and a half left until the due date... She took a deep breath.
“We never expected this to happen… The most important thing right now is production. I… I’m a little scared…” Leng Huan’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
Giving birth, this is giving birth! It's the first time in two lifetimes, and it's not just a serious injury! It's about giving birth to a child, bringing a little life into this world.
How could you not be nervous?
Seeing her somewhat helpless look, Fu Xun let her lean against him and gently patted her back, saying firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
A sense of responsibility as a husband and father welled up within him, like a sweet yet heavy weight pressing down on his heart.
Leng Huan didn't know if Fu Xun was panicking or not, but she was very panicked, and the more she went on, the more panicked she became, because she had no experience and no elders to guide her.
He carefully dug out memories of childbirth from every nook and cranny, only to find that they were utterly useless.
Baby's position? Natural birth? Postpartum period? What's the hot water for?
Discussing the possibility of a cesarean section due to breech presentation with Fu Xun actually frightened him.
Fu Xun was shocked: "Senior Sister, how could such a heaven-defying act occur?"
Leng Huan: "..."
After a moment of silence, she asked, "What if the baby is breech and there's a difficult delivery?"
Fu Xun covered her mouth: "Don't say such things. We are not ordinary people. Cultivators can use spiritual power to adjust the position of the fetus."
I felt ashamed, wondering where she got such a dangerous idea: "A C-section, if not done carefully, can endanger the mother, I will never let you do that!"
Leng Huan nodded like a quail: "Oh, then I... I'll be in postpartum confinement..."
"..." Fu Xun saw that she was indeed a bit dim-witted now, so he couldn't help but reach out and rub her forehead: "This involves some medical principles... Don't worry, I've read the 'Thousand Gold Classic', so don't worry."
Seeing his half-baked knowledge, Leng Huan sighed inwardly and said with a mournful face, "But, it's so embarrassing..."
Fu Xun paused: "What's awkward?"
Leng Huan stroked the cup: "Embarrassed."
Embarrassed.
Giving birth is not easy at all; it's clearly a painful and chaotic journey.
