He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Chapter 150 No More Children

Fu Xun paused for a moment before understanding her meaning, and his heart softened again.

She was, after all, the future heir of the Leng family, and she ventured into the secret realm while six months pregnant. She endured it all for so long before speaking out, and now she's in this predicament.

She only had a useless fiancé by her side, no doctor and no maid. If you put yourself in his shoes, you'd probably feel miserable too.

Fu Xun cupped her face in his hands and looked her in the eye: "Leng Huan, you are my Daoist partner."

"A Daoist partner? Not quite." Leng Huan turned his head away from him.

The thought of having a baby is that only Fu Xun can help with it right now. Who the hell wants to have a baby in front of him!

Leng Huan felt awkward, unsure when she had developed this image burden that prevented her from facing things with composure—she feared that giving birth in front of Fu Xun would shatter her Dao heart.

Not to mention him, she couldn't accept any acquaintance at all.

Leng Huan wouldn't let something so incredibly embarrassing happen; he had already decided to rely on himself when the time came.

Everyone wants to maintain a perfect image in front of their partner. Fu Xun is just her fiancé, and Leng Huan feels that they are not close enough to be considered an old married couple.

She had just finished thinking that when Fu Xun turned his face back to her. "Leng Huan, do you think we should wait until the marriage ceremony to announce it to the world, or should we form a Daoist couple contract now?"

Is there a difference between these two? Leng Huan shook his head: "What do you want to do?"

Fu Xun: "It'll be the same sooner or later, but now that we're bound by a contract, we're practically an old married couple. Do you still feel embarrassed?"

Leng Huan pushed his hand away and looked away: "I still feel that way."

Fu Xun paused for a moment, then asked, "Why?"

Leng Huan looked down at the hem of her skirt: "Because you're here."

Because it's you, I want to appear before you in the best possible light, just like a teenager in puberty.

Fu Xun naturally didn't understand. After thinking for a while, he assumed it was because childbirth itself was a difficult experience, so he patted Leng Huan's back and gently comforted him, "It must have been hard for you."

"But don't be afraid, senior sister, I will always be with you no matter what."

Leng Huan remained noncommittal.

After that, when Leng Huan occasionally saw Fu Xun studying the jade slips and learned that they were his copies of the Thousand Gold Classic, he would pretend to be curious and go over to take a closer look, and also ask questions that he cared about.

Fu Xunquan, seeing her love of learning, gladly answered her questions.

The deadline was fast approaching, and Leng Huan would send Fu Xun out to find spirit fruits every day, since all the original spirit fruits had been eaten. This had been their daily routine recently.

The delivery room was already set up. Leng Huan's idea was that Fu Xun should not be there when labor started. If he was there, she would set up a restriction and only let him in after the delivery was over.

Leng Huan meditates and sits in meditation every day to check the baby's position. The current mass of air is in the shape of a fetus, which is a normal engagement state. This puts her at ease, and she hopes for a smooth delivery.

Half a month after giving birth, one can use elixirs to help the body recover, making it much better than for ordinary people. Leng Huan thought about it all, and it seemed that only the baby formula was something he couldn't handle... Headache.

Where are we supposed to find animal milk?

Leng Huan only hated that Fu Xun was unable to breastfeed. Why did she have to give birth and breastfeed? Goodbye.

Thinking about it this way, I instantly felt utterly hopeless and collapsed onto the bed. I'm doomed!

Leng Huan, you're finished!

I've become a woman, and now I have to be a mother! And take care of the kids too! Ugh, I'm so sad!

-

Fu Xun studied the jade slip whenever he had free time, thinking through everything he could think of. As his due date approached, he became increasingly nervous.

Before leaving the house that day, he routinely checked all the items in the delivery room to make sure nothing was missing before hugging Leng Huan, kissing her round and translucent cheeks, and then bending down to say a few words to the baby in her belly before going out.

Leng Huan remained calm, a slight smile on her face as she saw him off. Only after he had completely disappeared from the cave did her expression fall, and she hissed as she tried to ease the cramping in her stomach.

She was awakened by the pain just before dawn, but she didn't make a sound and remained calm throughout.

Now, the pain is so intense it contorts his face. If a cultivator is severely injured, suffering broken bones and tendons, the pain is naturally excruciating. Childbirth, too, is a natural process; when bones split open, the pain is just as intense!

Everyone's pain perception level is different; Leng Huan... is quite sensitive.

Mafeidan (a type of anesthetic) and analgesic pills are completely unsuitable for use now! Using them will disrupt your pain response and affect childbirth.

Well… the good thing is that she has good physical health and spiritual power, which can help the child be born.

Leng Huan was not a professional doctor, and he dared not circulate his spiritual energy to regulate his blood and qi, not knowing if it would affect the fetus, since the child was very vulnerable at this time.

Having gone through the process countless times in her mind, she wasn't too panicked. She felt she could bear the initial pain, but it was taking a while. As the intervals between pains became shorter and more intense, Leng Huan changed into more comfortable clothes and paced restlessly in the cave.

The pain from this continues endlessly; it would be better to be seriously injured. My eyebrows are knotted up; Fu Xun seems to have come back a little late today.

Leng Huan glanced at the cave entrance, wanting him to appear, yet also not wanting him to see him like this.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and checked how many centimeters my cervix was dilated. After so long, it was only half dilated, and I felt a little overwhelmed.

Her restrictions couldn't stop Fu Xun; she hoped he wouldn't force his way through.

After enduring the pain for a long time, she felt as if she had been split into two parts. Her physical body suffered the pain, but the more it hurt, the calmer and more clear-headed her consciousness became, almost as if in self-torture.

Today was a little later than usual because Fu Xun was going to the narrow pass, a place several mountains away. On that cliff, the sunlight and moonlight shone through the cracks in the grotto, illuminating a small, hidden area.

Among them grew a spiritual plant, basking in the sunlight. It was a Wanling Fruit, nearing maturity, swaying gently and radiating multicolored spiritual light. It was peach-shaped, vermilion in color, and there were only three of them in total.

The fragrance and spiritual energy of the kiwi fruit wafted in the wind, attracting many demonic beasts. At the forefront was a demonic beast at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, which needed the Myriad Spirit Fruit to advance to the Divine Transformation stage.

The remaining low-level demonic beasts on the periphery let out low growls, filled with unease and resentment. As soon as Fu Xun appeared, the aura of a Nascent Soul expert instantly suppressed the danger. All the low-level demonic beasts fell silent, and sensing the danger, they lowered their bodies in fear and ran away tremblingly, leaving the scene.

The birds and beasts scattered in an instant, leaving only the Nascent Soul demon beast determined to obtain the spirit fruit. Its appearance was like a huge black owl, as tall as a small building when it stood upright, and its wingspan was more than ten feet. It stood silently facing Fu Xun, not giving an inch, its eagle eyes fixed on the spirit fruit.

Fu Xun was also determined to obtain the Spirit Fruit, as it was an excellent elixir that would be very useful for Leng Huan at the moment, helping her to recover her health.

Looking up at the towering cliff, estimating that the Myriad Spirit Fruit would ripen in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fu Xun drew his sword, concealed his aura, and swiftly slashed at the Steel Claw Xuanxiao with a sword as gentle as a spring breeze.

-

Of all the pains in the world, only the pain of childbirth cannot be diverted or interfered with.

Flowers bloom on bones; life is born amidst suffering—how difficult it is!

The cave was illuminated by the light of the night-shining pearl. Leng Huan was numb with pain. She wanted to take back what she had said before. She could bear the pain in the early stages, but the pain in the later stages was unbearable!

This time it's really over...

In all her life, she had never suffered such pain. It was even more painful than when she was injured alone in the secret realm back then. Being knocked away by a monster was nothing compared to this!

I'm not having any more children, not even if you kill me.

515...

While Leng Huan was writhing in agony, Fu Xun defeated the demonic beast and obtained the spiritual fruit. Seeing the beast flee in disarray, he lost interest in dealing with it further, feeling uneasy nonetheless.

He made a hand seal to return, arriving in an instant. He stepped out of the spatial rift, and as soon as he crossed the platform, he found that the entrance to the cave was sealed off by a restriction!

Fu Xun's expression changed drastically.

Raising a hand is to break the rules.
