62 The Evil Master 13

◎Is Yan Mei gone?◎

In the late stage of pregnancy, Xixuan's belly was tall and round, and her body seemed much heavier.

He would wake up almost every night and subconsciously look for Su Yanmei beside him.

If he didn't see anyone, Xixuan's usually indifferent and calm face would become panic-stricken, and he would try to get off the bed with some difficulty.

When he discovered the familiar figure in the room, the fear in his heart slowly subsided. He relaxed completely, but he was already sweating profusely.

There was a thin layer of sweat on his back and forehead. Xixuan's legs and feet were swollen, and his waist and abdomen were sore. He moved back to bed. He couldn't sleep, and his eyes followed the figure in the room.

The dim light of early morning filtered through, and a woman of extraordinary beauty put on her clothes and sat in front of the dressing table. Looking in the clear mirror, she took out some black ink and carefully drew her eyebrows.

Xixuan looked dazed.

He had heard of the mortal wedding custom that the husband would draw his wife's eyebrows on the second day after the wedding, which meant that they would be in love and happy.

Monks naturally don’t pay attention to these things.

But now, Xixuan really wanted to do these things for his wife. However, he no longer had the status to do so.

He lay sideways, lowered his eyelids quietly, and gently stroked his pregnant belly, placing all his hopes on this child.

As long as she is a girl, Yan Mei will not leave.

As long as it's a girl...

During the time they lived together, Xixuan appeared normal on the surface, but he was actually too nervous and worried. He would wake up several times in the middle of the night and secretly look at her, fearing that she would abandon him and the child and leave suddenly.

The result of such deep worry was that Xixuan's morning sickness symptoms, which had originally disappeared, reappeared. She vomited whatever she ate, and she felt listless and quickly became thinner.

He had lost a lot of weight, and his already prominent pregnant belly was now even more prominent.

Su Yanmei tried every possible way to make nourishing soup for him, but it couldn't relieve his morning sickness symptoms.

Looking at the young man's pale face, which was thinner than before, she lowered her gaze to his round pregnant belly and sighed softly, "Brother, if you keep going like this, the baby might be born prematurely."

I'm just eight months pregnant and I had a cesarean section. Although I'm a premature baby, I received overnutrition before, so the baby may be bigger than a normal baby.

When Xixuan heard the word "premature birth", his face turned even paler.

Premature babies in the mortal world are weak and sickly and are prone to death. Xi Xuan doesn't know what will happen to a premature spiritual fetus, so she forces herself to eat as much as possible every day and drink those bitter soups and medicines.

The symptoms of morning sickness gradually eased. During this period, he loved to eat candied fruits, especially dried sour plums, which he could eat for a long time.

Perhaps because he knew that Su Yanmei would not leave for the time being, Xi Xuan gradually felt relieved. Except for the fact that he would often wake up in the middle of the night to secretly check on her, he was taking care of the pregnancy normally the rest of the time.

When he was walking in the yard with his pregnant belly, because the baby was too big and heavy, he had to hold his waist with one hand and put the other hand on his pregnant belly as he walked back and forth.

Although it was covered by loose clothes, you could still see the circle that bulged out enough to support the fabric when viewed from the side.

Especially since he had a bulging belly, which was tall and huge, revealing the arc of half a circle.

Xixuan never knew pregnancy was so tiring.

As the birth date drew closer, the baby in his belly would absorb his spiritual energy every moment, making his already heavy body feel even more tired.

The overly large pregnant belly caused pain in his pelvis, and Xixuan had to lie on his side for a long time. When he walked, he tried his best to support his waist with his pregnant belly naturally protruding.

He carefully touched his pregnant belly, which was about to give birth. He looked very different from the venerable one who was high and mighty and not in the world.

When she was nine months pregnant, at the request of the Phoenix Clan, Yuqing Mountain was no longer closed to the public. The Supreme Elder, a sixth-rank pharmacist, took the initiative to move in and personally delivered Xixuan.

All the elders of the tribe also rushed there early and stayed overnight in Yuqing Mountain.

Thus, the entire Xihe Sect knew that Venerable Xixuan, who was conceived as a man, was about to give birth.

…

Xixuan was born in late spring. When the child was fully pregnant, the Supreme Elder brought two experienced midwives from the foot of the mountain to deliver Xixuan.

Because of the different body structure of women, Xixuan was conceived as a man, so the abdomen had to be cut open to take the child out.

This was also the first time that the Supreme Elder had done such a thing. He used painkillers in advance to help Xixuan reduce the pain, and then he carefully cut open his tall and round belly.

Due to overnutrition during pregnancy, the baby was too large, making the extraction process extremely difficult. It was the Grand Elder's first time delivering a baby, and under the guidance of the midwife, it took a lot of effort to finally get the baby out.

As soon as the baby came out of the gestational sac and came into contact with the outside air, he clenched his fists and cried loudly.

One of the midwives took a special look and quickly wrapped him in swaddling clothes, thanking him repeatedly: "Congratulations, Immortal, it's a little boy."

Another midwife also followed suit and said all kinds of auspicious words.

Xi Xuan, who could endure the extreme pain of a caesarean section, fainted from the pain when he heard that it was a boy.

The Grand Elder had no time to look at the crying child. He hurriedly sewed up Xixuan's wound, applied a special precious ointment, and then bandaged it with layers of snow-white silk cloth.

After doing all this, the white-haired old man raised his wide sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

His snow-white beard had not been groomed for many days and was tangled together, no longer the beautiful beard that looked like an immortal.

He took Xixuan's pulse and after finding out that he was not seriously injured, he went to look at the child who was crying at the top of his lungs.

His fair and tender little face turned red from howling, and his little fists were clenched tightly and still waving vigorously.

The spiritual fetus was different from an ordinary baby. After crying for a while, he gradually stopped crying, pursed his little mouth, and opened his tightly closed eyes.

He felt that the person holding him had changed. The child had a pair of clear golden eyes, the color was pure, like the rising sun.

Just as the Grand Elder opened his mouth to grin, a small hand grabbed the beard on his chin and pulled it hard, making him make an "Ahhh" sound.

The child was so strong that even a clump of his beard was pulled out. He thought it smelled bad, so he loosened his clenched fists and his snow-white beard fell down.

The Grand Elder was pulled so hard that he broke out in sweat and hissed in pain.

But he showed no signs of anger. Instead, after recovering from his shock, he burst into laughter: "Your little arms and legs are quite impressive, just as lively as your father was when he was little. Hahahaha, God has bestowed upon me a son from the Phoenix Clan!"

The soft and milky little ball in my arms, the pair of golden eyes that represent the bloodline of the Phoenix, all of this could not be more real.

Their Phoenix clan really has a continued bloodline!

The Grand Elder was so happy that he couldn't control himself. He wanted to bend down and kiss the child, but the little brat frowned and pushed his face away in disgust.

Then he started crying loudly again.

The more I coaxed him, the harder he cried.

When Xi Xuan broke out of his shell and transformed, he was already a child of five or six years old. He could understand what people said, could speak, and was extremely well-behaved.

The Supreme Elder hadn't seen a newborn as small as this in thousands of years. Seeing him crying like this, he was a little flustered.

There was no other way, the Grand Elder could only carry the child to find Su Yanmei.

The Phoenix clan elders, who had already gathered in a group and were standing guard outside the door, were anxious and eagerly waiting when they heard the loud cry of the child.

The door opened, and the elders of the clan rushed in to look at the swaddling clothes in his arms.

"As expected of me, you are of Phoenix blood. You cry so hard."

"Look at this little face, it looks so much like Xixuan when he was little, so adorable."

As the Supreme Elder walked through the crowd and came in front of Su Yanmei, the child pricked his nose and sniffed, and his crying gradually stopped. He waved his little hands in her direction, making babbling sounds.

"Oh my, open your eyes. This gold color is so beautiful."

"God bless my Phoenix clan!"

"I never thought I'd be able to see the continuation of the Phoenix bloodline. I have no regrets in death, no regrets in death!"

While the elders around were excited, Su Yanmei had already taken over the babbling child.

The moment she saw the little boy's golden eyes clearly, she didn't feel too disappointed.

After all, although Xi Xuan is the male protagonist and has good luck, he is also of Phoenix bloodline. Compared to her original body, which is the Emerald Green Snake, the children she gives birth to are more likely to inherit the stronger side.

For example, her two exes who were either fairies or demons.

Su Yanmei bent down and kissed his little face. The child smiled with his eyes squinting, babbling and waving his little hands. His voice was clear and pleasant. He was very well-behaved and cute, and did not seem noisy.

The experience of raising children accumulated from the previous world allowed Su Yanmei to get started quickly.

Xi Xuan had no milk production and could not breastfeed. The Phoenix clan also looked down on ordinary breast milk, so they caught a spiritual beast with abundant milk early on and fed it with precious fruits and top-quality spiritual meat. The milk produced was put into Su Yanmei's homemade bottle, which was still warm at this moment and was stuffed into the baby's mouth.

The little cub opened his bright eyes, bit the pacifier and started sucking.

After he had drunk his fill, he began to play with Su Yanmei in babbling sounds.

When other elders of the tribe hugged him excitedly, he would pull their beards or faces hard, making loud "ah ah ah" sounds that were particularly ear-piercing.

It was like a kitten with a clip, meowing obediently in front of Su Yanmei, but it couldn't be caught in the fierce, smoky voice in front of others.

This was the first time Su Yanmei had seen this kind of little elf, and she even tried it out with the elders of the clan.

Sure enough, as soon as he got to someone else's place, he started to scream "Ahhh" in dissatisfaction. When he was hugged by her, he was like a soft little sweetheart, waving his little hands and babbling.

Su Yanmei almost laughed out loud at this blatant double standard.

The elders who were not liked by the little ones were extremely depressed.

Everyone played with the energetic little kid for a while, and after the child had eaten and drunk his fill, he finally lay down in Su Yanmei's arms and fell asleep.

The Grand Elder sent the sleeping child back to the room and placed him next to Xixuan. Not long after, the young man who had fainted from the pain suddenly woke up.

His abdomen had flattened out, but it still hurt. Xi Xuan looked at the sleeping child beside him, and the Supreme Elder standing by the bed, his eyes scanning anxiously.

The room was extremely quiet and empty, with no one else in sight.

Thinking of his wife saying that she would take care of him until he gave birth.

I remembered that she said she would stay if she gave birth to a girl.

But he...gave birth to a boy.

So, has Yan Mei left now?

Xi Xuan clutched the bed with his five fingers. His heart felt like it was being torn apart inch by inch. The pain was so severe that he could no longer breathe.

His eyes moved to the sleeping child.

Their children are still so young.

As soon as he was born, he and Yan Mei abandoned him.

Xixuan closed his eyes in pain and shed a golden tear.

The Grand Elder stood there in shock.

The Phoenix clan will only shed golden tears when they are in extreme pain and want to die.

In the past records, all of them suffered from the devastation of love and shed drops of golden tears for their unfaithful partners.

Those golden tears are all condensed from blood and sweat.

What's more, the phoenix perched on the paulownia tree, its heart and soul withered, and it died with golden tears.

The Grand Elder didn't know what he was thinking, so he could only ask carefully, "Xixuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xi Xuan shook his head, his face pale, and just asked: "Is she gone?"

"Before you left, did you see the child?"
