Chapter 1109 -1109: We Owe Each Other Nothing

Lin Miao, Tian Xin, Tie, and the others were all waiting anxiously outside, eagerly awaiting the birth of the child between Tian Xun and Lin Shen. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

“Why hasn’t the baby been born yet? It’s already been five days.” Tian Xin said impatiently, “I’ve heard of long pregnancy cycles—three to five years isn’t uncommon. But now that the child is being born, how come it’s taking five whole days to come out?”

Lin Miao said, “Humans give birth quickly; it shouldn’t take so long. I read somewhere that the Celestial reproduction process is also supposed to be fast. So what’s going on here?”

No one could answer that question, and everyone’s eyes were fixed on the delivery room, full of anticipation.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened. The Celestial midwife stepped out with a cheerful expression and said, “Congratulations! It’s a girl.”

The group immediately crowded around, eager to see what a child born of a Celestial and a human would look like.

Leaning in, they saw the midwife cradling a small baby girl whose eyes hadn’t opened yet, her skin still a soft shade of pink.

The baby looked no different from a human, with no wings inherited from the Celestial Race or any other visible non-human traits.

Lin Miao wanted to hold the child but hesitated, not knowing where to start. She could manage business effortlessly, but she had absolutely no experience holding a newborn.

The midwife lifted the baby and placed her gently in Lin Miao’s arms, patiently teaching her how to hold a newborn correctly.

Once Lin Miao could manage to hold the baby steadily, she studied the child’s face but couldn’t tell whether she looked more like Lin Shen or Tian Xun.

“Can we go inside?” Lin Miao asked, looking toward the midwife.

“You may, but the mother needs rest, so please don’t disturb her for too long,” the midwife advised.

Lin Miao thanked the midwife and handed her a red envelope before carrying the baby into the room.

Tian Xun lay in bed, appearing to be in stable condition, though her face looked quite pale.

“Childbirth is like crossing a calamity. That bastard Lin Shen isn’t even here—it’s truly unfair to you,” Lin Miao said with a sigh as she placed the baby next to Tian Xun.

“Giving birth to this child nearly took half my life,” Tian Xun murmured. Despite her words, her gaze at the baby was filled with warmth and maternal love.

“It’s odd—your child with Lin Shen has no obvious traits of the Celestial Race and looks so frail. She doesn’t even seem to have the constitution of a Crystal Base body. It must be Lin Shen’s genes bringing her down,” Tian Xin remarked from the side.

“It doesn’t matter. The moment I saw her, I realized none of that mattered anymore. The fact that she could come into this world and be by my side is already the most precious gift. Whether she’s an ordinary human or a Crystal Base, it makes no difference to me,” Tian Xun replied.

By now, she had noticed that the baby was the lowest level of life form. Not only was she far from being born with Nirvana abilities, but she didn’t even have the most basic Crystal Base constitution common among the Celestial Race.

But as she said, the baby’s innate level was irrelevant to Tian Xun.

The others in the room, all sharp-eyed, could naturally discern the baby’s extremely ordinary innate level and weak physique. It was hard to believe that a child of such exceptional parents could have such a low natural standing.

“The human race’s overall evolution time has been short. It’s normal for their birth levels to be low. Heroes aren’t judged by their origins; someday, this child will surely surpass all of us,” Lin Miao consoled.

Not long after, the midwife ushered everyone out, insisting that Tian Xun needed proper rest after just giving birth. The baby was placed in the nearby infant pod.

Tian Xun was indeed exhausted. She hadn’t closed her eyes in several days and nights. The Celestial method of childbirth was somewhat different from that of humans, consuming enormous amounts of physical energy. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.

The little one, though just born, showed no signs of resting. She was brimming with curiosity about the world, her large eyes wide open, her tiny hands and feet flailing in the air.

Unfortunately, she was far too small. Even though she carried some of the Celestial bloodline, she couldn’t compare to a Pureblood Celestial, who could walk, run, and jump immediately after birth. She resembled a human baby far more in this regard.

As she flailed around, a jade ring-like object, seemingly out of nowhere, silently made its way into the room. It floated cautiously over to the infant pod, hovering above the baby’s tiny face.

If Lin Shen or Yan Ruyu had been present, they would have instantly recognized the jade ring’s origins. This was none other than Yu Xuanji’s Life Base.

Lin Shen had seen it during the great battle against the Celestial Race, though he hadn’t been able to seize it at the time.

The jade ring, imbued with extraordinary spirituality, seemed to have marked Lin Shen as its enemy. During the Celestial battle, it had sought an opportunity to strike him, though it had failed.

Now, it had somehow snuck into Tian Xun’s side without anyone noticing—a terrifying feat, considering that experts like Yan Ruyu and Tie were standing guard outside. Even a Dharma King would find it nearly impossible to infiltrate undetected.

The baby, captivated by the crystalline white jade ring, reached out with her tiny hands, trying to grab it. She even seemed tempted to put it in her mouth.

She had no way of knowing how deadly the jade ring was. A single burst of its energy could kill her a thousand—no, ten thousand—times over.

But it didn’t unleash its power. Instead, its form wavered in the air, deftly dodging the baby’s small hands.

The baby, undeterred, stretched her arms to their limits, trying to snatch the jade ring. Her efforts were in vain—her short limbs couldn’t reach it—and in her struggle, she rolled over onto her belly, unable to turn back.

The jade ring then slowly descended, settling atop the baby’s head.

As the jade ring came into contact with the baby’s tiny skull, it adjusted its size, eventually fitting snugly like a collar around her neck.

Once the ring clasped her neck, it began to shrink automatically, clinging tightly to her skin.

An older child or adult would likely be terrified, frantically trying to rip the ring off in fear of being strangled.

The baby, however, had no such thoughts. She simply continued playing, raising her soft little feet to her mouth.

For a newborn, her agility was quite remarkable, making her relatively impressive among human infants.

The jade ring didn’t strangle her. The moment it fit snugly against her skin, it halted, ceasing its constriction. From within the jade ring, a phantom-like image emerged, rising like a ghostly specter.

The figure was unmistakably Yu Xuanji.

The ghostly Yu Xuanji glanced at the sleeping Tian Xun on the bed, then at the baby in the pod, who was nibbling on her own toes and blinking her large eyes at him. Inside, he sneered coldly, “Lin Shen, you destroyed my body. I’ll use your child’s body as compensation. Now we’ll be even.”
