Chapter 874: Prick Me Awake Later
Inside the room, Liu Yusheng was growing more anxious.
The pain was so intense she couldn’t speak, and she worried that Feng Qingbai might rush in and see her like this.
She cared about her appearance too. If he really came in, regardless of whether he’d be traumatized, she was certain she’d lose her confidence for a long time!
“Feng Qingbai, if you dare come in, I… I won’t give birth! Ah—!” After saying that, another wave of fierce pain hit. Liu Yusheng gripped the bedboard in agony. “Nezha, if you don’t come out soon, you’re gonna make your mother die from pain—!”
The tearing pain made Liu Yusheng wish she could return to her mother’s womb and be reborn as a man!
Her vision went black and she fainted.
In the space, two glowing orbs about the size of fists burst out from the bottom of the spiritual spring pool. They twirled once in midair before suddenly vanishing.
The top-grade herbs in the medicinal field seemed to lose most of their vitality at once, wilting and losing their luster.
The water level of the spirit spring pool dropped sharply, as if it had evaporated.
The spiritual energy that once lingered in her space became extremely thin.
Liu Yusheng was completely unaware of these changes. She only felt as if her body, which had been crushed, was slowly recovering and relaxing. That pain was gradually eased by a warm and gentle current flowing through her.
“Nannan? Nannan!” Anxious calls sounded close to her ear.
Liu Yusheng slowly opened her eyes and met four extremely worried faces. She weakly smiled, trying to reassure them with a word, “Ah!”
Frowning, she forced down the wave of pain that suddenly surged up.
Then two loud cries were heard, “Waaah—waaah—”
“Has the baby been born? Oh, really born!” The midwives joyfully exclaimed as they immediately set to cutting the umbilical cords, then lifted up the newborns. “Congratulations to Your Highness! Congratulations! It’s twins—a dragon and phoenix pair!”
Liu Yusheng, “…”
She had been in pain for so long without giving birth, and just now, all at once, two babies?
“Already born?” Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan and the others were also stunned. “This… this is even faster than a hen laying eggs?”
The midwives’ faces stiffened at this comment.
After Grandma Liu recovered from her surprise, she saw the two babies each being held by a midwife and immediately stood up, reaching out. “Let me hold them! Little treasures, I’m your great-grandma!”
“I’m the grandma! This one is mine!” Chen Xiulan reached out for the other baby. Finally, finally, no more fighting over the babies this time!
Twins—a dragon and phoenix pair!
Well born, well born!
As the loud cries of the babies came from the room, the fight outside came to an end.
Qian Wanjin, Xue Qinglian, and Shi Xianrou, the three of them combined, still couldn’t fully restrain Feng Qingbai. They only barely managed to block him.
Even so, everyone had injuries on their faces and bodies.
When the cries sounded, everyone instantly froze.
“Born? Born?!” Qian Wanjin and Xue Qinglian exchanged a glance, both eyes lighting up with joy, then their bodies were lifted into the air and slammed heavily to the ground. “Damn you, Feng Qingbai! You’re too ruthless!”
Taking advantage of their distraction, Feng Qingbai threw them aside!
He kicked open the door and walked into the room unimpeded, immediately smelling the strong scent of blood.
That was Shengsheng’s blood.
Feng Qingbai stiffly approached the bed, breathing heavily, his gaze locked onto the woman lying there.
The woman gave him a weak smile. “Feng Qingbai, our children have been born.”
He didn’t answer.
She continued, “Go look at the babies. Don’t look at me. I’m really ugly right now.”
“You’re beautiful,” he said hoarsely, “More beautiful than ever.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
Liu Yusheng’s smile seeped with sweetness as she reached out to hold his trembling fingertips, which felt icy cold. “I’m fine, just a little tired. I’ll rest for a bit. You go check on the babies—they’re twins, a boy and a girl.”
After confirming that she was truly okay, Feng Qingbai slowly nodded. “Alright.”
After a pause, he said, “Shengsheng, I’m going out for a moment. I’ll be right back.”
Without waiting for her response, and without even glancing at the two babies, he turned and walked out, quickly disappearing at the doorway.
Liu Yusheng, “…”
Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan exchanged looks: “…”
Seeing the man who had just rushed in come right back out again with a completely expressionless face.
Qian Wanjin and Xue Qinglian both frowned simultaneously. “Hey, Feng Qingbai, what are you doing…”
Before they could finish, they heard the man say, “Xue Qinglian, prick me awake later.”
“…” The two watched silently as the man finished speaking and then collapsed straight down.
No one reached out to catch him; he fell with a loud thud.
“Did he faint?” Qian Wanjin’s eyes widened like copper bells.
Xue Qinglian rolled her eyes. “To be precise, he fainted dead away. Damn, it’s just his wife giving birth. Why is he this nervous?”
“He’s so tense that after reaching his limit, he suddenly relaxed and couldn’t hold on.”
“Even when he’s going to faint, he picks a spot first,” Qian Wanjin kicked the unconscious man on the ground, hands on hips laughing loudly. “Were you afraid of losing face in front of Lucky Nannan?”
Grandpa Liu, Liu Dalin, and Liu Erlin were all half-amused, half-embarrassed, and even the Empress Dowager experienced a twitch in the eye.
The famously wise and composed King of Nanling actually had moments like this where he totally chickened out.
The sound of the man collapsing wasn’t very loud but not too soft either, and everyone inside the room heard it.
Originally angry that Feng Qingbai hadn’t even glanced at the two babies, Grandma Liu and Chen Xiulan exchanged looks, then burst out laughing.
At the same time, shouting voices came from outside, “Wife, Xiulan, quickly show us the babies!”
“Great-grandma, Aunt Liu, come out! Ah, we’re so anxious!”
“Xiulan, Mom, you two, come out already! You can’t just hold the babies and leave us outside drooling. I’m the babies’ grandfather too!”
Grandma Liu chuckled, “Look how anxious they are.”
“Wait a moment, let’s wash the babies and dress them in baby clothes before going out. You all wait a bit longer!”
No one inside was in a hurry. They slowly cleaned the bloodstains in the room, tidied the bed, and cleaned Liu Yusheng and the two babies.
This only made the people outside even more anxious.
When the babies were all cleaned up and brought to Liu Yusheng, the mother and her two babies truly met for the first time.
At the first glance at the two little ones, only four words came to Liu Yusheng’s mind: Delicately carved and polished.
Unlike the usual wrinkled skin of newborns, her two babies had very plump, rosy, and smooth skin.
It seemed they had absorbed enough nutrition inside her womb.
“This one is the girl, the younger sister. Look at the mark between her brows,” Grandma Liu said, holding the baby girl first.
Liu Yusheng had already noticed. The baby girl had a tiny, red teardrop-shaped birthmark between her brows, like a tiny ruby embedded there.
“This one is the older brother, and he also has a birthmark—look at his little hand.” Chen Xiulan lifted the baby boy’s tiny hand, showing a similarly small, red, teardrop-shaped birthmark on his palm.
Outside, the crowd was urging again, making the area by the master bedroom door as noisy as a vegetable market.
Liu Yusheng smiled faintly and said, “Grandma, Mom, hold the little ones up for Grandpa and Father to see. And as for Feng Qingbai, have Xiao Jinzi wake him up quickly. Otherwise, if he wakes up on his own later, it’ll be Xiao Jinzi and Xue Qinglian who get into trouble.”
TL Note: Finally, the babies are out. The boys will never Qingbai’s fainting go .·°՞(˃ ᗜ ˂)՞°·.
