The sun is shining brightly in the woods, making people feel warm.
I heard Lingling say that she sensed her child.
The couple, who were about to turn around and leave, felt as if their feet were stuck, and a glimmer of light rekindled in their eyes.
"Baby, can you tell your auntie what the baby looks like?" Cynthia asked in a choked voice.
Even if she didn't have the chance to see her child being born, knowing what her child looked like would at least be a little comfort.
Lingling, who was discussing with Uncle Bai in her mind how to convince Uncle Sol: Huh?
"Baby, auntie wants to know what your baby looks like." Bai Jiu, who was always paying attention, reminded Lingling.
Lingling was stunned for two seconds, then excitedly pointed to different places on Cynthia's belly.
"Little baby, so cute! Little hands, little feet, little tail."
Several adults trembled violently.
Thor frowned and weighed Lingling in his arms to attract her attention.
"Lingling, you mean the little tail? Do babies have little tails?"
"Yes, a little baby has a little fish tail, and a little baby has little feet."
Thor's heart sank. Cynthia's chances of survival were already slim. One child was already the limit, and now there were two children, one of whom was a mermaid.
Three lives! And he was powerless to save them.
Seeing Thor's serious and deep look, a soft little hand stroked his forehead.
"Uncle Sol, can Lingling save the babies? They are really cute, just as cute as Lingling."
Lingling smiled softly at him, with stars twinkling in her eyes.
A flash of confusion flashed across Thor's eyes.
Did he just hear it wrong? Who saves who?
Cynthia was sure that she had heard correctly, and she said excitedly: "Baby, are you saying that you can save the babies? I, did I hear correctly?!"
Cynthia seemed to have grasped the last straw. Regardless of Thor's complicated look, she pushed away Clive who was supporting her and rushed to Lingling to confirm excitedly.
"Yes, Lingling won't lie. It's just that uncle seems to be very angry with you, so Lingling will only help you if uncle agrees." Lingling hugged Thor's neck and turned her head away without looking at her.
You can’t look at it, you can’t look at it. Lingling, don’t be soft-hearted, your uncle will be sad.
Thor looked down at Lingling's furry little head.
He didn't expect Lingling to say that, and he was indeed angry with Cynthia.
Angry at her union with a mermaid, angry at her sacrificing her own lifespan, angry at her getting pregnant despite knowing the risks of childbirth.
However, the children were innocent. Just as Lingling said, they were two children as cute as her, one was a mermaid, and the other was, as expected, an elf.
No matter how angry he was with his parents, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
well--
"Cynthia, if Lingling can really save your child without endangering herself, I won't stop her, but..." Thor looked at Clive with a cold look in his eyes.
"I want him, your husband, to go to the depths of Firefly Forest and stay there for half a month without any weapons or belongings. If he can come out alive and stand before me after half a month, I will promise to save your child."
Cynthia was stunned.
Half a month, deep in the forest.
It's dangerous in there, Clive will die!
Cynthia wanted to cry again, but looking at Thor's eyes, she didn't dare to cry.
"Okay, I promise, Elf King, I can do anything as long as you promise to save Cynthia and the children." Clive said firmly without any hesitation.
As he spoke, he began to take out everything he had on him and handed them all to Cynthia.
Cynthia didn't want him to go and didn't want to take his things, so he kissed her cheek and put all the things on the ground.
Then he spread his arms and turned around, indicating to Thor that he had nothing on him.
He looked at Thor with a determined look.
"I will come back alive. I hope you, Elf King, can take good care of Cynthia and the children."
"You don't need to remind me. Since I promised, I will definitely do it. Think about whether you can come back alive first." Thor said unhappily.
"By the way, don't think about staying outside the forest for half a month to fool me. I've placed something on you so I can always tell where you are."
"No, I'm leaving then."
Before leaving, Clive hugged his wife tightly and kissed her belly, and then he really went into the forest without taking anything with him.
Lingling looked at Clive who was leaving, and then at Thor who had an indifferent expression on his face.
Xiaopang scratched his head with his hand.
Oh, it’s so complicated. Lingling just wants to save people, why is it so complicated?
Bai Jiu and Josiah were also a little confused, but no one dared to ask Thor why he made such a request at this time.
Lingling dared to ask, but she didn't want to ask. What her uncle did must be right. She didn't want to ask.
Seeing that the matter had finally come to an end, Josiah stepped forward.
"Father, we can now enter the territory. We shouldn't just stand here like idiots."
Thor looked at him without saying anything. He took out his life card, opened the door, and walked in first.
Josiah was helpless.
My father is still angry.
There was no other way, he could only call Huhu, silently walked to Cynthia who was still staring at the forest, and helped her go in.
As soon as he entered, Josiah saw Thor standing not far away holding Lingling. Lingling was still picking at the jewel on the crown on his head and looking at him.
Seeing them come in, Thor put away the doting expression on his face and said to Cynthia lightly, "You will come and live with me in the castle during this period. There are guest rooms in the castle. I will ask a few female elves to take care of you until the day you give birth."
Cynthia gave him a grateful look, but Thor walked forward without looking back. It was Lingling in his arms who politely waved goodbye to them.
Josiah, who was left behind, and Huhu, who was jumping on the spot, looked at each other.
Well, keep following.
......
Fifteen days later, at night,
The top floor of the Elf King's castle.
Thor was resting in his room when he suddenly heard a commotion in the castle.
He first looked at Lingling, who was not woken up in the small bed next to him, covered her with the quilt, and then put on his outer robe and went downstairs.
As soon as I arrived at the guest rooms on the second floor, I found several female elves who were taking care of Cynthia running around in the corridor.
He frowned, called out to one of the female elves, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Cynthia?"
The female elf's face was full of anxiety, but when she saw Thor her eyes lit up, as if she had found a savior.
"Elf King, it seems Cynthia went into premature labor because she was too worried about her husband. We were just about to come find you."
Premature birth!
Thor thought something was wrong and hurried back upstairs to his room. He hardened his heart and gently woke Lingling up.
"Baby, Aunt Cynthia needs your help, wake up."
