Chapter 291 The Birth of a Child
Xia Yueke took a deep breath, concentrated his mind, and gathered the water vapor he sensed. At first, the water vapor was always scattered and difficult to condense.
But under Lang Ce's patient guidance, she gradually mastered the trick, and a small ball of ice mist slowly formed in her palm.
"Don't stop, keep increasing the force, making it stronger and more aggressive."
Lang Ce encouraged from the side.
Xia Yueke gritted her teeth and continued to inject ice power. The ice mist gradually solidified, turning into a sharp ice cone, suspended in her palm.
"Success!" she cheered excitedly.
Lang Ce smiled and said, "This is just the first step. Ice abilities can not only be used for attack, but also for setting traps. For example, you can instantly freeze the surrounding ground, making it difficult for the enemy to move."
As he said that, he gestured for Xia Yue to try.
Xia Yueke closed her eyes and spread her icy power in all directions. A thick layer of ice quickly formed on the ground, smooth as a mirror. To test the effect, Lang Ce deliberately ran on the ice. After just a few steps, he slipped and nearly fell.
"Not bad, it seems you learn very quickly." Lang Ce praised.
In the days that followed, Lang Ce taught Xia Yueke how to combine ice abilities with his own speed to achieve instant movement during battle.
He also taught her to create ice phantoms to confuse the enemy. With continuous learning and practice, Xia Yueke's ice ability became stronger and stronger, and her level also increased from the original fifth level to the current seventh level.
Of course, while improving their abilities, they also pay special attention to the cubs in their bellies.
Whenever Xia Yueke felt tired, she would start to rest almost immediately.
Lang Ce was still not satisfied, "If only I could get two more monsters for you to practice with, your strength would surely have improved by leaps and bounds, and you would have destroyed the monsters in one go!"
Xia Yueke also felt that his whole body was filled with strength.
Since then, life has been peaceful and stable. Aqi always comes to watch Xia Yueke exercise in his free time.
Seeing Xia Yueke's body getting stronger and stronger, Aqi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
She knew that Xia Yueke had good physical fitness, which would give her more strength when giving birth in the future, and both the female and the cub would be safer.
Time passed quietly. One day half a month later, Xia Yueke was studying herbal medicine with Aqi when suddenly, an unbearable pain came from her abdomen.
Her face turned pale instantly, cold sweat broke out, and she subconsciously held Aqi's hand tightly, saying in a trembling voice:
"Aqi, am I going to give birth?"
When Aqi heard this, her expression immediately became nervous. She quickly supported Xia Yueke and walked carefully to the wooden house that had been prepared for her, and let her lie down on the spacious and comfortable bed.
After settling Xia Yueke, Aqi hurriedly instructed the stray animals nearby to notify Langce as quickly as possible, while he turned around and plunged into the intense preparations.
As an experienced healer in the tribe, Aqi is well-versed in the tools and procedures required for childbirth.
She skillfully opened the medical supplies that had been prepared long ago and methodically counted the various items: clean spider silk cloth, sharp animal knives, herbal juice for disinfection... each item was neatly arranged.
She knew very well that at this critical moment, any negligence could lead to disaster. After preparing the tools, Aqi quickly handed Xia Yueke the painkillers she had prepared long ago and comforted her softly:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here and everything will go smoothly."
At this time, Lang Ce, who received the news, was anxious and ran towards the wooden house.
Xia Yueke's painful look kept appearing in his mind, and his heart was full of worry.
When he finally arrived at the cabin, his forehead was covered in sweat and his chest was heaving violently.
He rushed to Xia Yueke's bedside, held her hand tightly, and his voice trembled:
"Little fox, how are you? Hang in there, I'm here."
Seeing Xia Yueke's face pale with pain and frowning brows, Lang Ce's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he couldn't help but said viciously:
"It's all this kid's fault. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have suffered so much! If anything happens to you, I'll definitely kill this kid..."
Before he could finish his words, Xia Yueke interrupted him weakly: "Don't...don't say stupid things. Do you still want to make me angry at this time?"
Lang Ce suddenly approached Xia Yueke, with veins popping out on his forehead. He was almost touching her face, and roared in an almost crazy tone:
"Little fox, I'm telling you, you must get through this safely! If anything happens to you, even if this cub survives, I'll make it suffer a fate worse than death!"
His eyes were full of madness and determination, and it was obvious that he was not joking.
After all, this is not his child, he doesn't feel sorry for it at all!
Xia Yueke felt suffocated, angry and anxious, and said weakly: "Okay... I know, you go out..."
Then, under Aqi's urgent urging, Lang Ce reluctantly stood up. Before leaving, he slowly turned his head, stared at Aqi with murderous eyes, and said word by word:
"No matter what means you use, if anything happens to the little fox, you'll be buried with her! I'll let you know what the consequences are for offending me!"
After saying that, he turned around abruptly and strode out of the room.
Aqi shuddered and immediately began to move.
In the room, Xia Yueke was lying quietly on the bed, which was completely different from the painful scene imagined.
Thanks to the powerful painkillers prepared by Aqi, she now hardly feels any pain, and she is secretly amazed at the magical effect of the medicine.
Aqi stood by, busy and methodical, his eyes full of concentration and concern.
She gently instructed Xia Yueke to adjust her breathing while paying attention to various conditions.
Lang Ce paced back and forth outside the door like a trapped beast, each step heavy and quick, his fists unconsciously clenched. From time to time, he moved closer to the door, trying to hear what was going on inside, his face full of anxiety and uneasiness.
But after a moment, he suddenly realized that his appearance was really undermining his dignity, so he quickly straightened his back and the expression on his face instantly became as cold as ice.
However, his slightly trembling hands revealed the turmoil in his heart. His fingers were so tight that their tips turned white, but he still clenched them tightly.
Suddenly, Lang Ce could no longer suppress his inner rage, rushed to the wooden house opposite, and threw a punch.
With a dull thud, he smashed a big hole in the sturdy wooden house, and wood chips flew everywhere.
"Who the hell is that damn bastard's father?!"
Lang Ce roared at the top of his lungs, his voice filled with madness and anger, "My cub was born, but he disappeared like a coward! He made me live in fear here! When I catch him, I will kill him and make him regret coming into this world!"
After saying that, he kicked the wooden house again, and the whole house began to shake.
Inside the house, Xia Yueke only felt a strange feeling of heaviness in her stomach, just like when she wanted to go to the toilet.
She took a deep breath and followed Aqi's instructions. Without much effort, she felt something slide out.
Immediately afterwards, a clear and loud roar instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the room.
