”Husband, save my father …”
Watching the fire engulfing the inn, even though Xiaowan was in excruciating pain, she was still concerned about her sleeping father. However, she did not know why her childbirth was so painful, she felt as if her stomach was going to explode.
”Night, are you okay?” Aunt Zhang panicked. She had never given birth to a child before, nor had she ever delivered a child. She simply did not know what to do.
He had already told the midwife of the town that he would stay in the tavern by the middle of the month so that he could wait for the Xiaowan to give birth at any time.
”Aunt, my stomach's about to explode. Ah …” Xiaowan screamed in pain, as though his entire body was going to fall apart. Could this be the pain that the doctor mentioned?
Ling Chaofeng rushed out, and the fire spread inside the shop. There was no way for him to reach the second floor, and his body was already on fire.
The moment he came out, he heard Xiaowan's piercing shout. What was even more unimaginable was that his wife's stomach was pushing up so hard that it seemed to want to hang her up.
knew that if her father-in-law died in the tavern, Xiaowan would feel guilty for the rest of her life. However, he could not abandon her wife, as she had never seen any woman give birth to a child like this.
He rushed towards the Xiaowan, but before he could even reach her, he saw the Xiaowan screaming involuntarily. The sound broke through the night sky, causing her to nearly die from the pain.
In that instant, a golden light rose from her stomach and rushed into the night sky, illuminating the night as if it were day.
A Golden Dragon hovered above the tavern, its roar shook the world, as torrential rain came out from its mouth, extinguishing the fire in the tavern.
Ling Chaofeng was shocked. Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao were so scared that they seemed like they were carved stones. Xiaowan was tormented to the point of death, but she had also seen this hair-raising scene.
The fire had been extinguished, and the buildings that had been burned to the ground were slowly repairing themselves in the rain. The heavy rain did not stop, and it was as if a cloud was standing in the sky.
However, after the Golden Dragon rode the cloud and wandered around for a bit, it once again turned into a golden light and rushed down.
Amidst the crackling sound of the rain, the loud and clear cry of a baby could be heard. Right beside Xiaowan, in the midst of the heavy rain, a baby lay there.
Lightning flashed between the clouds, illuminating the night sky. Everyone could see that there were a pair of horns on the child's head.
”My god …” Aunt Zhang exclaimed.
Xiaowan, on the other hand, fainted after feeling extreme pain and shock.
”Late!” Ling Chaofeng rushed over and carried his wife in his arms. He looked at the infant in shock, who was lying on the ground. This child had a pair of horns on his head.
Uncle Biao was brave. He took off his clothes and wrapped the baby up.
But at this moment, Master Mu, who had no idea what had happened, finally woke up.
He was completely unaware of the fire, and when he came out, he saw that everyone was standing in the torrential rain. In Uncle Biao's arms, there was actually a baby.
”Such a heavy rain, such a cold sky …” Master Mu shouted, ”What are you doing, come in!”
Xiaowan had long passed out and did not know anything. After a long period of darkness, her eyes finally lit up.
She then came to the beautiful spring garden, where there was a vast lake. The empress dowager with a potbellied belly was waving at her, but when Xiaowan looked down, her stomach was still there.
They sat at the edge of the lake and ate green bean cake while the Palace Maid delivered fish food.
Suddenly, the water surface started to churn violently, a deep whirlpool appeared in the middle of the lake, and a Golden Dragon rose up from the lake, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, a bright golden light shone, the Xiaowan looked at him in fear, did they meet again?
After the Golden Dragon roared into the sky, it circled in the clouds once before charging down.
”Ah …” The Xiaowan fell onto her back, falling onto the ground. The Golden Dragon rushed into her stomach and disappeared without a trace.
”Xiaowan, what's wrong? Are you alright?” In her dream, the Queen was anxiously supporting her.
”Mother, Empress, you … Do you see anything? ” The Xiaowan asked in fear.
”No, Xiaowan, hurry up and get up, did you lose your stomach?” the Queen asked her worriedly.
”Late, late …”
Hearing her husband's voice, Xiaowan looked around, panicked and suddenly opened her eyes.
As expected, it was a dream.
”Late at night, you finally woke up.”
Her husband's face appeared before her eyes. Ling Chaofeng's hair was still wet and his body still had traces of being burned by the smoke. His chin was already covered by a layer of black stubble.
”Hubby …” Xiaowan was completely exhausted, and her limbs and bones seemed to have been torn down and rebuilt. She weakly reached out her hand towards Ling Chaofeng and suddenly felt that her body was a little strange.
The bulging belly was gone, as was the little guy who went through the waves every day. The flat belly was the same as when she was a girl. It was as if she was never pregnant.
She gradually recalled what happened before she fainted. Xiaowan couldn't tell if it was a dream or real, but her stomach had indeed disappeared.
”Where are our children?” Xiaowan cried and asked, ”Hubby, that child, he, he …”
”He has a pair of horns on his head. He doesn't look human.” Ling Chaofeng's eyes were scarlet red, he was still in shock, ”Xiaowan, did you see that Golden Dragon?”
Xiaowan nodded her head stiffly. Of course she saw it, she never would have thought that the dream of the Golden Dragon entering her bosom was not for the Empress, but for herself.
”The child is there. Do you want me to show it to you?” No matter how much blood and gore Ling Chaofeng had experienced, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing. He felt that right now, he was completely wooden and could only stiffly do what he needed to do.
