Chapter 330: Chapter 330
Shi Bo was speechless. He was truly shocked.
He asked in disbelief, "Was Si Yan telling the truth earlier? That she won’t return to the Golden Dragon Clan and doesn’t recognize its members?"
"What do you think?" She Wang approached Shi Bo, step by steady step.
"If you hadn’t caused trouble, our Mistress indeed planned to step down. She cares nothing for the identity of the Dragon Princess, and she has no intention of acknowledging her relatives from the Golden Dragon Clan," She Wang said. "But not only did you cause trouble—you sought death!"
The snake Beastman’s gaze turned fierce. In an instant, he was by Shi Bo’s side.
"Don’t think yourself innocent. The moment you aided a sinful female and laid a hand on our Mistress, you were already a dead man in my eyes!"
With that, the cold-blooded snake Beastman’s palm sparked with lightning. He leaped onto the Golden Dragon’s back and plunged his hand straight into Shi Bo’s heart.
Shi Bo’s eyes widened in disbelief. "You... you really..."
She Wang retorted, "We never cared for anything from the Golden Dragon Clan. Don’t flatter yourselves."
The snake Beastman withdrew his hand from Shi Bo’s heart, and Shi Bo died instantly.
The snake Beastman turned around. Behind his tall figure lay a gigantic Golden Dragon Beastman.
The snake Beastman frowned slightly and sniffed himself; having fought and killed too many times, his body was smeared with unclean blood and mud.
Under normal circumstances, he would have cleaned himself before seeing Si Yan, but now there was no time.
His figure flashed as he went to find Si Yan.
「Inside Si Yan’s cave」
She was already sweating profusely.
Tai Seng stepped forward anxiously. "Lord, you’re finally here. Si Yan is still in labor, and she won’t let me help anymore."
The snake Beastman immediately went forward. "Baby, how are you?"
The cold-blooded killer from outside transformed into complete tenderness before Si Yan.
Si Yan clenched her teeth, gripping his arm tightly. "Wang, it hurts..."
Tai Seng took a few steps back and waited outside the cave. The rain continued to fall, its cool water helping to clear his head. He transformed into his beast form. His beast form made it easier to conceal his emotions. The ice on his body melted, revealing wounds that started to bleed. He quietly licked his wounds alone.
The air was heavy with moisture, damp and uncomfortable. Inside the cave, Si Yan’s sweat mixed with the rainwater, making her extremely uncomfortable.
"Tai Seng!" She Wang called out anxiously.
Tai Seng had never heard such emotion in She Wang’s voice before; this was the first time he’d heard such urgency from the typically indifferent snake Beastman. Forgetting his own injuries, he stood up, pacing anxiously on all fours.
"What’s wrong?" Tai Seng asked, his voice laced with worry.
She Wang said urgently, "Si Yan is having a difficult birth! Go find a Witch Doctor!"
"A difficult birth?" Tai Seng became frantic. "I’ll go right now!"
Just as Tai Seng was about to return to Myriad Beasts City, he saw a Beastman approaching. It was Old Fox A’ye, returning just when they needed him, carrying Yin Xiu on his back.
"Witch Doctor Xiu!" Tai Seng called out urgently. "You’ve come at the right time! Si Yan is having a difficult birth. Quick!"
A’ye’s expression immediately soured, and he leaped into the cave in two strides. Yin Xiu also jumped down from A’ye’s back and hurried towards Si Yan.
Watching them all enter the cave, Tai Seng paced anxiously at the entrance.
"How is she?" he heard A’ye ask.
Witch Doctor Xiu explained, "The Lady of the Lord has a female cub in her womb, and giving birth to female cubs is inherently difficult. Moreover, there are only two eggs in her womb, and they are rather large, leading to this difficult birth. I don’t have a perfect solution; it all depends on the Lady of the Lord’s own efforts."
Inside the cave, She Wang and A’ye tensed up, while outside, Tai Seng was so anxious he forgot to breathe.
She Wang moved forward to hold Si Yan’s hand. "Baby, it will be okay."
Si Yan was still in labor. Old Fox A’ye looked terrible. Outside, Tai Seng had dug a hole with his claws. She Wang’s face was ashen.
By midnight, not a single egg had been born.
She Wang asked Yin Xiu in desperation, "How is the Lady of the Lord now?"
Yin Xiu said, "Not too good."
"What does ’not too good’ mean?"
Yin Xiu dared not say. Her sister, Yin Wei, had died during a difficult childbirth while delivering a female cub.
"Could she die?" She Wang’s tone was laced with horror.
Yin Xiu remained silent, bowing her head. A’ye clenched his fists. Outside, Tai Seng paused, his paws bloody from digging.
"Impossible!" She Wang held Si Yan from behind. "Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared."
Si Yan was running out of strength. She said feebly, "I’m fine. Don’t be afraid."
She Wang rubbed her body. "Si Yan is cold! Quick, get some wood!"
A’ye immediately brought wood from outside. With a flash of lightning from She Wang, the wood caught fire. But the damp weather of the rainy season still made everyone uncomfortable.
Old Fox A’ye looked at the wood, then at She Wang. He left the cave. When he returned, the rain outside had stopped.
Tai Seng lay motionless at the entrance of the cave.
She Wang kept rubbing Si Yan’s arms while A’ye prepared some food. Then, She Wang fed it to Si Yan.
"Don’t want to eat..."
"You need to eat to have strength. Be good," She Wang coaxed patiently.
Si Yan then obediently took a few bites.
"Wang, if I can’t make it through... you have to help me take care of Dongchi and the others..."
She Wang’s eyes were red. "I refuse to accept that! The cubs have people to take care of them. If you dare to die, I’ll die with you!"
Bihu, watching, felt a pang in his heart. He remembered something and immediately said, "Grandson, the Beast God’s blood! Didn’t Jin Kun give you the Beast God’s blood? Drink it quickly! It’s useful!" Newest update provıded by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Si Yan paid no mind to Yin Xiu and A’ye standing nearby. With a surge of her Spatial Element power, a bottle of Beast God’s blood appeared in her hand.
She Wang immediately took the Beast God’s blood, carefully feeding it to her.
The Beast God’s blood was indeed potent. Color slowly returned to Si Yan’s lips, and her body’s cellular activity increased significantly. She could finally exert her strength again.
By early the next morning, amidst Si Yan’s pained cries, the first Dragon Egg was finally born.
"It’s born! It’s born!" Yin Xiu exclaimed excitedly.
She Wang didn’t even glance at the egg. He held Si Yan’s hand tightly and asked, "How do you feel now? Are you alright?"
Si Yan closed her eyes, not speaking. She was conserving her strength.
Finally, the next contraction came. Si Yan cried out in pain once more. The second egg was also born.
With the birth of the second egg, Si Yan fainted from complete exhaustion.
"Baby! Baby! Si Yan!!!" She Wang was nearly driven mad with anxiety.
Yin Xiu hurried over to check on Si Yan, then said, "Lord, don’t panic. The Lady of the Lord is just exhausted; she’s fainted."
She Wang stared blankly at Si Yan.
For a moment, he truly felt as if the sky had collapsed. He even thought that if Si Yan died, as her Beast Husband, he should suffer a backlash. Why hadn’t his backlash come yet? Could his luck be so terrible that he couldn’t even die with her?
