"What happened to Seventh?"
"She...she seems..." Xiao Yun gasped: "She seems to be about to give birth!"
"Ah!!" Mu Yurou screamed, pushed Xiao Yun away, and rushed out like the wind.
Xiao Yun also hurriedly followed behind him, without even having time to say hello to Yun Che and Cang Yue.
"Husband, let's go and take a look too." Cangyue said softly.
She calmed Yun Che's sorrow and put on new clothes for him. Although he looked like he was back to normal, she could still clearly feel the extreme depression in Yun Che's heart. They all had been looking forward to the birth of Xiao Yun and the seventh child in the world. She hoped that the arrival of this little life could dispel the heavy gloom in Yun Che's heart to some extent.
The already busy Yun family suddenly became even more noisy. Yun Qinghong, who was outside, rushed back quickly. Tianxia Xiongtu, who was about to go to the north of the city to command the reorganization of the city defense formation, was immediately furious after receiving the news. He left everyone behind and ran towards the Yun family.
When Yun Che, Cang Yue, and Feng Xue'er arrived together, the courtyard where Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven lived was crowded with people. From behind the tightly closed door came a constant stream of noisy sounds mixed with a tense atmosphere, and from time to time, the painful groans of Number Seven Under Heaven could be heard.
“Big Brother!” Upon seeing Yun Che coming, Xiao Yun, who was waiting outside, hurried over to greet him. His face was red, and he was so nervous that he didn’t know what to do.
"Xiao Yun, congratulations, you're going to be a father soon." Cangyue said with a smile.
“Hee, I wonder if it will be a *treasure or a *treasure.” Feng Xue’er said with great anticipation.
"Hey...hehe." Xiao Yun was both excited and nervous.
At the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie hurried in. Upon seeing Yun Che, Xiao Lingxi let out a low cry and rushed over to him quickly: “Xiao Che, are you…are you okay?”
"Of course I'm fine. Do you think I look like I'm in trouble now?" Yun Che said with a relaxed smile. He came to Xiao Lie and asked with concern: "Grandpa, I haven't had time to greet you since I came back. Are you used to living here?"
“Okay, I’m fine here.” Xiao Lie nodded slightly. Seeing that Yun Che looked normal and seemed to be fine, a heavy stone fell from his heart. His expression was much more relaxed. He sighed and said, “In the Profound Sky Continent, I have heard rumors about the Illusory Demon Realm several times. The Illusory Demon Realm in the rumors is full of demons that have lost their humanity and are cruel and brutal. Alas, it seems that things in this world must be seen with one’s own eyes. There are too many people who are forced to live their entire lives in deception created by people with ulterior motives.”
"ah----"
The sound coming from the room suddenly changed from painful groans to shrill screams, and the doctor's voice became more hurried.
“It seems… it really hurts.” Xiao Lingxi said nervously.
"Seventh sister. You must be fine..." Xiao Yun's face was full of heartache. He stood unsteadily, staring at the door, muttering to himself.
"Grandpa, you are only in your early sixties this year, but you will soon become a great-grandfather." Cang Yue said with a smile. As soon as she finished speaking, Yun Che suddenly said playfully: "Congratulations to my aunt, she will soon become a grandmother."
“~!@#¥%…” Xiao Lingxi opened her lips and started to get mad: “I…I…I don’t want to be a grandmother. I’m still an unmarried girl…I don’t want to be a grandmother…No!”
“Hahahaha!” Xiao Lie laughed heartily. He looked at Xiao Lingxi deeply and said meaningfully, “Lingxi, you are not young anymore. It is time to consider your lifelong affairs.”
“I…” Xiao Lingxi panicked and glanced at Yun Che secretly: “I don’t want to.”
Boom boom...
With a thunderous sound, Tianxia Xiongtu rushed down anxiously, and Yun Qinghong also came with him. Behind them, the six brothers of Tianxia were sweating profusely.
As soon as Tianxia Xiongtu landed, he shouted impatiently: "Qibao... How is Qibao now?"
Yun Qinghong patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Tianxia, don't worry. The Seventh is not an ordinary girl, so everything will go smoothly. You should first think about what gift to prepare for your grandson or granddaughter."
"Yes, that's right, that's right." Tianxia Xiongtu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, rubbed his hands together, and then shouted at the closed door: "Qibao, be good, Daddy is outside, give Daddy a big grandson, whatever you ask for, Daddy will agree to it."
"ah!!!!"
What answered him was a long scream from No. 7 Under Heaven, which made everyone who heard it feel nervous.
“Senior Tianxia, please don’t talk to her for now, so as not to distract her attention.” Yun Che said.
"Ah... OK." Tianxia Xiongtu immediately stopped talking, and then he did not forget to carefully warn his six sons: "Did you hear me? Shut up, no one is allowed to make a loud noise."
“…” Yun Che’s brows twitched. He looked towards the direction of the door with a slightly solemn expression.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Noticing the change in his expression, Cangyue asked softly.
Yun Che shook his head slightly: “It’s okay… I must be overthinking. Seventh sister is the princess of the elves. With the protection of the power of nature, everything will definitely go smoothly.”
As the group waited anxiously, time passed slowly. The noise in the room became more and more intense, and the groans of Number Seven Under Heaven continued to sound, and... each groan seemed to be more shrill than the last.
"Seventh. Don't be nervous, relax your body...be careful when using force." This was Mu Yurou's voice.
"Mother... I... I feel so uncomfortable... It hurts so much..." The voice of Number Seven Under Heaven was filled with deep pain. This elf princess who grew up in love had never endured such great pain and torture.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon..." Mu Yurou kept comforting him, and her voice began to tremble.
Half an hour passed...
A whole hour passed!
Number Seven Under Heaven continued to scream, his voice completely hoarse. The heavy breathing of the imperial doctors could be clearly heard in the room... There was obvious panic in these breathing sounds.
The initial anticipation, excitement, and joy had long since been worn away into nervousness and anxiety during the more than one hour of waiting. Xiao Yun paced back and forth, his hands sometimes clutching his scalp, sometimes tearing at his chest, his whole body sweating, and he murmured in confusion: "It's okay... It's definitely okay..."
Yun Qinghong and Tianxia Xiongtu's expressions also turned somewhat ugly... They tried their best to suppress the ominous thoughts in their hearts, but the feeling of uneasiness had already spread in their chests, making their hearts tighten.
“Husband?” Looking at Yun Che’s extremely heavy expression, Cang Yue called out worriedly.
“…” Yun Che took a deep breath and said, “Something is wrong… It’s too wrong.”
If it were an ordinary woman, it would take one hour or even several hours from the time of childbirth to the birth of the baby. But the Seventh Under Heaven was definitely not an ordinary woman. She had the cultivation of the Tyrant Profound Realm, and the profound power she cultivated was the purest and most untainted natural power. She had a physique far beyond the scope of ordinary people. Her childbirth process should have been simple and smooth, and as long as she was willing, she wouldn't even have to endure any pain.
However, a full hour had passed, and she continued to scream in pain.
Later on, her voice became even more mournful than that of an ordinary woman.
Yun Che wanted to personally check on the condition of Number Seven Under Heaven several times, but he held back again and again. Now, he could no longer endure it and grabbed Xiao Yun: “Xiao Yun! Go in right now and cover the bed for Seventh Sister. She doesn’t look normal. I must go and see for myself!”
Xiao Yun was so panicked that he had no time to think. He nodded and rushed forward... But he had just taken a few steps when Number Seven Under Heaven screamed in the room, followed by Mu Yurou's joyful voice: "It's out... It's out!"
Xiao Yun stopped walking, and everyone who was immersed in tension also heard the sound of heaven, especially Xiao Lie and Tianxia Xiongtu. They were so excited that tears filled their eyes and they subconsciously walked forward.
But their surprise did not last long, and the expressions were all frozen on their faces.
Because there was no sound of a baby crying in the room. In fact, the whole room became dead silent, without any cheers of joy.
“My child…let me see my child…” Number Seven Under Heaven called out anxiously.
"Madam Yun, Madam..." This was the voice of an imperial physician, and her voice was trembling: "This is... it is... it is a stillbirth."
The trembling voice, like a bolt from the blue, ruthlessly exploded in everyone's ears.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, his pupils dilated instantly, his whole body shook, and then he suddenly yelled, rushed over like crazy, and violently broke the door open: "Impossible...Impossible!!"
The sound of the door breaking startled the already frightened doctors inside. Xiao Yun rushed in and saw the tiny baby in Mu Yurou's arms, with the long umbilical cord still connected to his body... and Mu Yurou's face was covered with traces of tears.
Xiao Yun staggered over and roughly grabbed the baby into his arms. The baby's soft body was in his arms, and his movements instantly became gentle... The baby in his arms didn't move, didn't cry, didn't breathe, and didn't even have a warm body temperature. What he had was a cold feeling that made Xiao Yun feel like he was falling into an icy abyss of despair.
Plop…
Xiao Yun suddenly knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking in pain.
Number Seven Under Heaven was lying on the bed, looking as pale as if she had just had a serious illness. Her pupils were horribly empty, as if her soul had been taken away. The sound of Xiao Yun kneeling on the ground woke her up from her nightmare. She jumped up from the bed and cried heartbreakingly: "This is not true... This is not true... My child... Give my child back to me... Give it back to me..."
“Qibao!” Tianxia Xiongtu rushed over and hugged her tightly, his heart aching as if it were cut by a knife: “It doesn’t matter… It doesn’t matter… You and Xiao Yun are still so young, you can still have more children… As long as you are willing, you can still have many, many children…”
“No…you’re all lying to me…” The voice of Number Seven Under Heaven was torn, and she cried like a cuckoo. This usually very strong and optimistic elf girl, who wanted to be with Xiao Yun despite the opposition of her whole family and the ridicule of the world, completely collapsed at this moment: “My child…you’re all lying to me…give my child back to me…give it back to me…ah…”
Mu Yurou turned her face to the side and fell on Yun Qinghong's shoulder, crying. Yun Qinghong raised his head, sighed heavily, and clenched his hands tightly.
“…” Xiao Lie’s body shook violently. If Xiao Lingxi hadn’t been supporting him, he would have fallen down long ago.
"How could it be... like this..." Feng Xue'er covered her lips tightly and cried softly. Cang Yue leaned on Yun Che's chest, her shoulders twitching constantly.
The joy and new life that everyone had been looking forward to, turned out to be a dark nightmare. Xiao Yun knelt on the ground, as if he had lost his soul, and Number Seven Under Heaven cried heartbreakingly. Everyone felt as if their hearts were pierced by thousands of arrows, and they were suffocated by the pain.
Yun Che's face was gloomy, but his eyes were still cold and awake. He came to Xiao Yun's side and stretched out his hand to the soundless, cold baby in his arms.
Even if it was a stillbirth, the birth of No. 7 in the World shouldn't have been so long and painful... He had to know what went wrong.
Yun Che’s fingers gently pinched the baby’s soft, cold wrist… In just a moment, his entire arm retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
This is……
Demonic energy!!
Why is there evil spirit? !
