My Demon Husband Is a Snake-Chapter 943: Difficult Labor Due to a Giant Baby?

"No need to think twice, whatever it is, I’ll wear it." Xiao Shenshen pounded on her chest boldly, with her eyes sparkling.

Qi Yaogang saw the little girl’s lively cuteness and smiled, "Wait until Miss Wan has given birth, then we’ll see."

"Okay, Grandpa Doctor, Young Madam, what illness is it?" Xiao Shenshen asked softly and adorably.

Qi Yaogang instinctively pinched a non-existent beard, "Miss Wan’s difficult labor is no accident, she’s been poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Xiao Shenshen looked anxiously at me, "Young Madam..."

Yu Longting and I exchanged a glance, neither of us had thought of or even noticed any poisoning.

I asked seriously, "Elder Qi, are you sure I’ve been poisoned? Then why don’t I feel anything at all?"

Not only does my body feel nothing, even Yu Longting couldn’t detect it. This poison is quite inexplicable.

"Miss Wan, you’ve been poisoned by a type of vine poison, it’s very subtle."

Qi Yaogang’s expression also became much more serious, solemnly saying, "It will just increase your appetite, otherwise it has no harm to the body."

"Vine poison?? Could it be she’s eaten too much, making the child too big??" Yu Longting blurted out in alarm.

Qi Yaogang nodded, "Anything a pregnant woman carrying a snake fetus eats grows on the fetus, so Miss Wan hasn’t gained weight, only the fetus in her belly has gotten bigger."

Child... child too big, causing difficult labor??

This term, usually found in palace intrigue novels, suddenly popped into my head.

So a part of my recent sudden appetite increase was due to the poison.

It just so happened that Qing Li’s previous excessive eating during pregnancy served as a blinding method, causing my increasing appetite to be less noticeable and suspicious.

What a clever scheme!!

I had a sudden realization, remembering the time on the attic saving Qing Li, when I was poisoned by the vine, "Lan Shaotang removed all other poisons from my body, leaving only a toxin that increased my appetite, intending to kill me during childbirth."

Such a despicable, insidious trick!!

"Elder Qi, my wife is poisoned by the Ancient Leech Blood Vine, do you have a way to make an antidote?" Yu Longting asked intently.

Qi Yaogang was a bit startled, "The Leech Vine? That’s an ancient creature, I need to research it, but the urgent task now is to help Miss Wan deliver smoothly."

"Ah? Not a C-section?" I asked in surprise.

Qi Yaogang smiled, "No need, I’ll align a few acupoints for you and prescribe a medicine that will expel excess nutrients from the fetus..."

He took out a crumpled piece of cowhide paper, scribbled a large amount of illegible symbols with a ballpoint pen.

I guessed it was a special script for the Rat Tribe, incomprehensible to outsiders.

Then, he tossed the cowhide to a group of little rats, "Go prepare the medicine." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Miss Wan, it might hurt a bit." Qi Yaogang pricked a needle into my wrist and forehead.

The pain made my tears uncontrollably flow, "It does hurt!!"

My body already felt completely immobile...

And my mind started becoming clouded...

Qi Yaogang said, "I’ll step outside, and have one of my female disciples handle some of the more discreet acupoints for Miss Wan. Snake Lord, you should come outside with me as well. It’s bad luck for men in the delivery room."

"Elder Qi, as a husband, not staying with my wife during childbirth because of outdated superstitions about bad luck—what kind of husband would I be? Might as well become a monk." Yu Longting remained by the bedside, holding my hand tightly, staying with me.

Shenshen earnestly agreed, "A good man is like that!"

"Getting tainted with the blood of childbirth could cause a regression in cultivation. I won’t be staying, goodbye to you."
