Chapter 502
: A Series of Twists and Turns, Ning Rongrong's Fertility Crisis
As the mist began to dissipate, the thousand peach trees in Peach Blossom Paradise were in full bloom, their pink blossoms creating a tapestry of pink clouds and a subtle fragrance wafting through the air.
Along the forest path, several slender figures held newly broken peach branches, the tips of which were dipped in bright red cinnabar, and were carefully tapping them along the pink walls of each of the elegant residences.
"Slap, slap, slap—"
The crisp tapping sounds echoed through the forest, each one carrying a unique rhythm.
Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in a black and gold short skirt, moved swiftly and decisively. Wherever the peach branch touched, cinnabar left tadpole-shaped runes on the pink wall, faintly glowing.
"The Awakening of Insects has passed, the earth's energy is rising, and the beasts of Peach Blossom Spring are awakening, some of them quite ignorant." Her voice was cold, but her eyes were as sharp as a night hawk's. "We must use peach wood and cinnabar to warn them, lest they disturb our senior sisters' peaceful cultivation."
Huo Wu, dressed in fiery red, moved with a scorching aura as she wielded the peach branch. She was the most impatient and her criticism was the harshest: "If you ask me, we should capture all those evil and ferocious beasts, roast them, and eat them! Last year, a peach blossom miasma frightened Sister Xue Ke; what's the point of keeping them in Peach Blossom Paradise?"
Shui Bing'er covered her mouth and chuckled softly. With a light tap of her slender finger, the cinnabar landed on the wall and transformed into ripple-like ice patterns: "Huo Wu, don't be impulsive. The Peach Blossom Forest gathers spirits, and the presence of miasma and evil spirits is unavoidable. Besides—"
Her eyes sparkled as she continued, "My husband said before that a realm needs a rich variety of species to follow the laws of nature. If only the docile and not the vicious, only the weak and not the strong, then the Peach Blossom Spring will soon be overpopulated, with frogs and algae everywhere. That's the food chain."
"I don't understand. You shouldn't listen to your husband in everything. What's the use of being obedient? The more you obey, the bolder he becomes. It's been so long since he slept with us. He's so diligent about teaching in the God Realm. Hmph, he really can't tell what's important!"
"Oh, don't say that. My husband has it tough too. There are so many sisters in this realm, and he's a divine master with hundreds or even thousands of deities to teach..."
As they were talking, the three of them arrived near Liuli Residence.
The Glazed Residence is located in the central area of Peach Blossom Spring, a place inaccessible to insects, ants, and spirits. It is also close to the convergence point of the spiritual veins of Peach Blossom Spring. But today...
"Huh?" Shui Shui Bing'er suddenly stopped.
"There's something there!"
Outside the Crystal Residence, wisps of faint pink aura lingered, and streaks of pink-gold vitality gathered into spirits, lingering around the residence and looking longingly into it.
"You audacious monster! You dare to covet the spiritual energy of the Glazed Abode in broad daylight, before even leaving Peach Blossom Spring at night? I'll burn it to death!"
A wisp of incredibly hot true fire ignited in Huo Wu's palm. You must know that her flames are extraordinary; they contain the power of a nuclear explosion.
The golden sprite was immediately frightened by the flame that was far away; it was truly something that would injure anyone who touched it, and melt anyone who did.
"Don't kill me!"
The golden spirit said in fear.
"I am not coveting the spiritual energy here, but rather a companion spirit born from the union of me and the spiritual energy here due to a new force."
"Companion spirit?" Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er seemed to be deep in thought.
"Squeak!"
Just then, the jade gate of Liuli Residence was suddenly pushed open.
Ye Lingling lifted her skirt and strode out, her usually cool and composed face showing a rare hint of panic. Her hair was slightly disheveled, with a few strands clinging to her forehead where beads of sweat had formed.
"Senior Sister Lingling?" Huo Wu was the first to react. "What happened?"
Ye Lingling was slightly out of breath, her gaze quickly sweeping over the three of them: "Senior Sister is about to give birth."
"So what if she gave birth? It's not a big deal. Senior Sister has always been healthy... Wait, what did you say?!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu instinctively felt a bit disdainful, but after realizing what she meant, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise once again.
The Peach Blossom Paradise fell silent instantly, and even the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the peach branches seemed to disappear.
Zhu Zhuqing was also stunned, her voice tinged with nervousness:
"Lingling, didn't you say before that we gods don't face any danger when we give birth? Why are you so panicked?"
Ye Lingling replied:
"Of course there is no danger to her life. Moreover, Senior Sister Rongrong's Vajra body has been tempered through countless trials, so she is naturally fully capable of bearing childbirth."
"However... however..."
"But what?!"
The peach branch in Huo Wu's hand fell to the ground with a "thud." Being straightforward, she had no interest in listening to Ye Lingling's roundabout talk.
"Get to the point! You're driving me crazy!"
Ye Lingling was both amused and exasperated:
"Senior Sister is naturally out of danger, after all, she has a strong physical body."
"But the baby's life is in danger. The baby should have been born two months ago. Even my husband came to be with me during the delivery, but there was no reaction. My husband has been trying to find a solution these days. But today, there were sudden signs of labor. It's because my senior sister's Vajra Body is too strong that the baby can't come out."
"If you force it out, the child might die."
"If it doesn't produce, that won't work either."
"This was my first time delivering a baby, and I encountered this situation. How could I not panic?"
Ye Lingling was also somewhat at a loss.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and Shui Bing'er were all taken aback.
So having such a strong physical body has its downsides, huh?
Although they were all somewhat envious of their senior sister's pregnancy, they often complained about her.
But when the time actually came, they became worried about Ning Rongrong, and their faces were filled with sorrow.
"What should we do?"
"If this child can't be saved, Senior Sister Rongrong and her husband will be heartbroken, won't they?"
"Since she can't be born naturally, how about Rongrong have a C-section? With the help of nature's spirits and careful care, she won't have a scar."
"That won't work either."
Ye Lingling said helplessly:
"Have you forgotten that Senior Sister Rongrong is the Vajra Goddess? Her physical body is comparable to the strength of a super divine artifact, even those god-kings are helpless against her. What are you going to use to dissect her? And who can control the force?"
"Use the Asura Sword?"
"666, you actually came up with such a brilliant plan, are you even human?"
"I'm not human, I'm a god?"
"Tell me, besides the Asura Sword, are there any other, even better, weapons?"
……
"go."
It was during the girls' discussion about what weapon to use for Ning Rongrong's cesarean section that...
A figure in peach-white hurriedly landed outside Peach Blossom Spring.
A wisp of energy emanated from his fingertip, swirling around the elves surrounded by Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
Sensing this, the elf saw Su Ran's extraordinary and handsome face reflected in its eyes, and felt the familiar power emanating from him. It immediately kowtowed and said:
"Greetings, Your Excellency. Did you give birth to me? Are you my father?"
Upon seeing Su Ran appear, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Zhu Zhuqing relaxed, and even felt a moment of surprise.
Upon hearing the elf call Su Ran "Dad," their expressions turned somewhat indignant:
What?! Senior Sister Rongrong is still struggling with infertility, and none of us have children, yet you have such a big elf child? Whose is it? What did you do?!
In an instant, their eyes seemed to want to devour Su Ran whole.
Su Ran also felt their gazes and quickly said:
"When Rongrong did not give birth on her due date, I pondered the reasons. After thinking for several days, I guessed several possibilities. I then combined Rongrong's fetal vitality with the spiritual energy of this Peach Blossom Spring to create this Pink Gold Spirit."
"If Rongrong is in danger, this pink golden spirit can protect her body."
"If the child is in danger, this pink and golden spirit can serve as its companion spirit, strengthening its physique and protecting its birth."
"Now it's your time to shine, go!"
With a slight wave of his hand, Su Ran dissolved the pinkish-gold spirit, transforming it into a golden stream that flowed into Ning Rongrong's body.
Hearing this, the girls were relieved.
Sure enough, just a quarter of an hour later, auspicious light shone above the Crystal Palace, and the cries of infants could be heard.
A golden infant was born, causing the goddesses in Peach Blossom Spring to gasp in amazement:
As expected of the eldest sister's child, this is an innate Vajra Divine Body! (End of Chapter)
