Chapter 59 Xi'er Wants to Go Out and See the Moon
Although he asked Senior Xiao Shi about using air as a medium, he knew very well that air was ethereal and could not possibly serve as a real medium to fix those complex runes.
Thinking of the net he had previously created, he felt that it was at least more reliable than air.
However, after several attempts, he failed each time because the net he conjured would sway with the runes he injected, making it impossible to fix the runes in place, thus making it difficult to form a solid shape.
Although he failed, Ah Chen was not too discouraged. Even gods cannot have all their wishes fulfilled, let alone gods.
He felt a little lonely tonight because Xiao Shi wasn't in the room. He missed his family, especially his mom and dad.
At this moment, the person Ah Chen misses is in the territory of the Holy Witch Clan.
Tonight, the tribe is holding a bonfire party; today is the annual Moon Gazing Festival of the Holy Witch Tribe.
Legend has it that after this day, the sun will gradually grow colder, so the people sing and dance, sit around the bonfire and look up at the bright moon in the sky, because the moon does not grow colder with the changing seasons.
However, in reality, the magical power cultivated by the Holy Witch Clan varies with the seasons.
After the Moon Festival, the amount of magical spiritual energy they absorb during the day gradually decreases. Conversely, they can absorb more magical spiritual energy when cultivating under the moonlight at night.
This phenomenon will continue until the full moon festival six months later, after which it will reverse, with daytime cultivation being more effective and nighttime cultivation slower.
The ancestors of the Holy Witch Clan believed that all of this was in accordance with the laws of nature and did not require any reasonable explanation.
Yu Shan sat with a group of elders from her tribe, chatting about everyday matters, when suddenly she inexplicably sneezed.
Xiao Bai, looking concerned, took out a thick coat and draped it over her shoulders: "It's getting chilly in the autumn, wrap yourself up well, or you'll catch a cold and feel terrible!"
Li Meng happened to walk over and, seeing this, smiled:
"Mr. Bai, you're really letting your concern cloud your judgment! Yu Shan is at least at the Spirit Fusion Realm, how could she easily catch a cold?"
You two shouldn't just sit there watching, come down and dance with everyone! Dance for a while, and you'll warm up!
"But I... I really can't dance." Xiao Bai's handsome face turned red.
"It's okay if you don't know how, I'll teach you, I guarantee you'll learn!" Yu Shan smiled and pulled him into the dancing crowd.
Immediately, someone made room for them, and everyone formed a circle, jumping happily.
The dance of the Holy Witch tribe is a group dance, which is actually very simple to perform. Everyone holds hands with the person next to them, raises their hands together in rhythm, and then lowers them.
They stomped their feet to the rhythm of the music and sang ancient folk songs of their ethnic tradition.
After spinning around more than half a circle, they let go of each other's hands, waved their arms in simple and graceful movements, and gathered in the circle.
Young men and women who are attracted to each other will take advantage of the moment when they let go of each other's hands to get together. The next time they hold hands, they will be next to their sweetheart.
Feather Fan and Little White are a married couple, so they don't need to switch places with others; they just need to keep time with the drumbeats.
After jumping around like this once or twice, Xiaobai learned it.
At first, he felt a little awkward dancing in public, but seeing that everyone was dancing and no one was paying special attention to anyone, he gradually relaxed.
As he danced, he gradually found his rhythm, and the feeling of being able to openly and honestly hold the hand of his sweetheart was wonderful.
Their fingers were intertwined, and the feeling of them being tightly entwined made his heart beat faster.
In the firelight, the woman's face was slightly flushed, and a faint fragrance wafted through his sense of smell. Occasionally, she would turn her head to meet his gaze, and she would always greet him with a radiant smile.
With laughter and cheerful songs filling his ears, and his gaze fixed on her breathtaking smile, Xiao Bai wished that this moment could last forever.
Ah Chen: Has your heartless father forgotten about Ah Chen, the lonely baby in Shifang Academy?
The couple were dancing hand in hand when suddenly Yu Shan felt a downward pull on her abdomen.
Having had experience with childbirth before, Yu Shan immediately pulled Xiao Bai away from the dance circle. Seeing his wife's pale face, Xiao Bai asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Shan touched her belly. She could feel that the trousers under her robe were wet with warm water, which meant her water had broken.
But she didn't feel any pain yet, only a feeling of falling and the sensation of amniotic fluid leaking out.
“Our Xi’er must want to come out and look at the moon,” Yu Shan said with a smile.
"What?! You're having a baby?" Xiao Bai stood frozen on the spot, completely at a loss for what to do. He just stood there, his hand gripping the feather fan nervously, lost in thought.
"Silly boy! Stop spacing out!" Yu Shan playfully scratched his palm.
"Ah? Oh! Xi'er, Xi'er is coming out. Baby, don't rush, wait until Daddy and Mommy are ready before you come out, okay?" Xiaobai said hurriedly.
The next second, he bent down, picked up the feather fan, and walked hurriedly yet steadily toward the room that his people had arranged for them.
He dared not run, for fear of jolting her.
As he walked, he looked around and saw two elderly women with gray hair sitting and chatting nearby. He then called out loudly:
"Grandma Ahua, Grandma Ayu, please help me! My Shanzi is about to have a baby!"
"Oh my! Is Yu Shan about to give birth? Great! I bet she'll give birth to a little saintess!" Granny Ahua smiled so much that the wrinkles around her eyes smoothed out.
"These past few days, I've noticed that Yu Shan's belly has been very quiet, so I knew it would be a lovely girl." Grandma A Yu was also beaming with joy; anyone who didn't know better would think that it was their granddaughter-in-law who was about to give birth.
Among the Holy Witch Clan, women are revered. Therefore, before a child is born, everyone will kindly say that the pregnant woman must be carrying a girl.
The two elderly people followed them to the room, and they also called over two middle-aged women to ask them to help boil water and collect diapers.
Indeed, one of the customs of the Holy Witch tribe is that on the day a baby is born, more than ten used diapers must be collected in order to gather blessings from all directions and protect the baby's safety and health.
Xiao Bai gritted his teeth: This is so unhygienic!
But it was customary, and even if he had some doubts, he had no choice but to follow it, after all, it was for the sake of accumulating good fortune for his daughter, Xi'er.
The middle-aged woman said that it was best for the child's father to collect the diapers for the blessing ceremony, as this would show sincerity. So Xiaobai stamped his foot and went to collect them himself.
Thinking of the instructions Bo Yiyan gave them before they left Five Elements City, he said that once the Feather Fan side started to act and was about to give birth, he should immediately send him a telepathic message.
Xiao Bai quickly took out the remote communication jade slip, infused it with spiritual power, and shouted loudly, "Dr. Bo, come quickly! My fan is about to give birth!"
Although he usually didn't want Bo Yiyan around Yu Shan, at times like this, he felt that the witch doctors of the Holy Witch Clan were unreliable, and only with Physician Bo by his side could he feel at ease.
In Five Elements City, everyone was worried sick about the Feather Fan couple ever since they left, fearing that they might encounter some danger.
Because in this world of cultivation, danger seems to lurk everywhere, human life is as worthless as grass, and there are no laws to govern those who kill.
Then, when the communication jade slip finally lit up, everyone saw Bo Yiyan jump up from his chair, trembling with nervousness.
