Yan Shi'an's mother's surname was Wang. She was a well-known shaman in Wangjia Village. She practiced shamanism and the villagers called her Old Lady Wang.
Her gaze fell on her daughter again, her eyes filled with tenderness, but even more so with regret for her daughter's lack of ambition.
"I told you to study, but you didn't study properly. I told you not to marry this man, but you insisted on marrying him."
"Your fate should make having children as easy as a hen laying an egg! But you're destined to have a baby with a cursed, lonely star. With a fate like that, how can he possibly have a son?"
Kui Ziyu, who was suddenly called out, pursed her lips and remained silent.
However, his silence did not mean that Old Lady Wang would let him off the hook.
"And you! Aren't you an expert in fortune telling? An'an is being silly, and you're being silly too? Is fate so easy to change?!"
"Don't think I don't know what methods you used to steal their fate. You're really bold! Don't you even consider whether they, mother and daughter, can handle it?"
"How many innocent lives have you killed in these nine months? You will be punished!"
Kui Ziyu lowered her eyes and said, "I am willing to bear everything."
"Take responsibility my ass! Your life is harder than a rock in a latrine! Who wants you to take responsibility?"
Having seemingly vented her anger, Old Lady Wang softened her tone.
"This is the last time I'll help you. After the baby is born, if you want the baby to be well, you should stay away from her, especially you, Kui Ziyu."
After Grandma Wang finished speaking, she stomped her foot on the ground three times.
"Please let Master Chang possess you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Wang's appearance changed drastically.
His slightly hunched body suddenly stretched out, and he suddenly became much taller.
The dark brown eyes turned yellow, with a vertical pupil in the center.
Two voices of different genders alternated from her mouth.
Master Chang stared at Yan Shi'an's stomach, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly, "A snake immortal reincarnated? The timing is wrong, could it be borrowed?"
"Yes, nothing can escape Sixth Master's eyes. The children are ignorant and have committed a sin."
Master Chang shook his head and said, "If the name is not right, then the words are not proper. If she truly has the destiny of a snake immortal, this old man might very well have to submit to this little girl."
"Well then, it can be considered a connection with my Chang family, so I'll lend a hand. Let's see what fate has in store for her in the future."
As he spoke, he placed one hand on Yan Shi'an's stomach and muttered something under his breath.
The baby opened its eyes and thought the sound was very pleasant, but it wasn't clear enough to hear it in the water.
She changed direction, looked for the exit, and crawled out.
Outside, a fierce wind and rain raged. In the grassy hollows or underground where people could not see, snakes, insects, rats and ants scattered and moved about, all kneeling in one direction in devout worship.
The electrical circuits inside the house also seemed to be affected by something, flickering on and off.
With a scream from Yan Shi'an, the baby girl finally came into this world.
Dr. Xu became increasingly worried and called two nurses to rush into the room together.
"This...this is the end of the birth."
Old Mrs. Wang has seen Master Chang off and returned to her original state.
She glared at Dr. Xu and grumbled, "What are you daydreaming about? Come and cut the umbilical cord! Doctors from the city, how come you have no sense of sight at all? You're not even as good as the village doctor."
Dr. Xu felt wronged, but knew that now was not the time to be quick-witted.
The baby girl realized the pleasant voice was gone, her little mouth twitched, and she burst into tears.
Looking at the cleaned-up baby girl, the nurse smiled and said, "This little girl is so pretty. She even has a pink birthmark on her forehead, just like a water droplet."
As she was speaking, she tried to hand the baby girl to Yan Shi'an, but Old Lady Wang snatched her away from her.
She frowned as she looked at the snake mark on the child's forehead.
This is too ostentatious! This child's birth chart is weak; he might not be able to hold onto this destiny.
Grandma Wang gently stroked the baby girl's face, and the mark on her forehead disappeared instantly.
As if sensing something, Kui Kui waved her two little hands, grabbed Grandma Wang's index finger, put it in her mouth, and began to suck on it.
A satisfied expression appeared on her little face.
Grandma Wang couldn't help but laugh, clearly feeling the little spiritual energy left in her body slowly draining away.
"This little girl is quite clever, and she's also good-looking."
Suddenly, she thought of something and handed the baby girl, who had already eaten and fallen asleep, to Yan Shi'an.
"Send her to Wangjia Village in a hundred days. Don't be reluctant to part with her. This child shouldn't have come into this world to suffer. It's all your fault!"
"Have you chosen a name yet?"
Yan Shi'an looked at the child sleeping peacefully in his arms, his face showing both happiness and sorrow.
Happiness came when she finally defied fate and gave birth to a daughter for Kui Ziyu.
It's heartbreaking that, for the sake of the child, they have to endure separation after only 100 days.
"He's up, call him Kui Kui."
A hundred days is but a little over three months.
The sunflower has grown much larger, and its originally reddish skin has turned snow-white and pink.
Beneath long eyelashes were a pair of round, black grape-like eyes, curiously observing the world.
Kui Ziyu and Yan Shi'an personally delivered the child to Wangjia Village.
Although the couple was reluctant to part with their child, they couldn't withstand Old Lady Wang's scolding and could only agree to visit the child in the future.
Grandma Wang held Kui Kui and offered incense to the deities enshrined in the shrine.
It is said that if a person suffers three misfortunes and two deaths, or if incense burns two short and one long, it is considered an ominous sign.
"Please enlighten me, immortals." With that, she hugged Kui Kui and kowtowed three times before the incense table.
