You Call This Delivering a Baby? I've Never Seen Anything Like It...
Hu Xuan was in a house in the south of the town, an area the three-person team had clearly passed through during their investigation.
In fact, when they followed the trail of the night crows to the south of the town, Cheng Shi was intentionally or unintentionally paying attention to his surroundings, hoping to find Hu Xuan, but he failed and found no trace of her.
It is evident that Hu Xuan also possesses a strong ability to conceal herself.
Li Boli and Hu Xuan communicated frequently, and Li Bola always knew where Hu Xuan was, but she never told Cheng Shi and Qin Chaoge about it. This suggests that she and Hu Xuan also had a cooperative "agreement" similar to a three-person team.
That's why Cheng Shi asked that question.
He feared that this fragile little group would once again fall apart in two, and at that time, a Priest and a Singer, in either confrontation, might be at a disadvantage.
However, we can only draw conclusions after meeting Hu Xuan.
Li Boli led the way quickly, and soon they met the charming and beautiful Sage of Life Sage at Hu Xuan's hiding place.
But when Cheng Shi and the other two faced her again, their faces showed nothing but shock.
"You..." Li Boli couldn't believe it.
"You..." Qin Chaoge's face was full of disgust.
"You... are Hu Xuan?" Cheng Shi was dumbfounded.
"Thank you for coming, Cheng Shi."
Hu Xuan remained elegant, but her posture at that moment distorted her elegance, and her smile seemed forced.
She looked at Cheng Shi with a pale face, her expression full of expectation and relief.
"I could feel that she was about to be born, but there was a force preventing her from being born, so I needed help."
"How... how can I help you?"
Cheng Shi suddenly became timid, and his tone of voice was completely different from before he arrived.
The confidence and expertise I once possessed somehow deflated.
"Bora said you can deliver babies, so if you can, why did you ask me?"
Don't doubt yourself. Take out your tools, cut open my stomach, and she'll come out.
Cheng Shi shuddered, looked up at his belly, and swallowed hard.
"What I mean is... my Scalpel might not be that long..."
Following Cheng Shi's gaze, one could see a gigantic, truly swollen belly filling the entire space of this 3-4 meter high house.
Hu Xuan, like a pendant on this Human Skin ball, dangled to one side, her toes barely touching the ground, turning half her body to the side like a swan on tiptoe, looking at Cheng Shi with a poignant smile.
Her belly seemed more like her real body than her actual body at that moment.
A colossal, terrifying, spherical life form.
No...
Wait a minute, let me calm down.
"..."
Sister, how many children are you pregnant with?
If I slash this time, will a whole company of soldiers come out and gang up on me?
You are Life Sage!
Don't they all have a period of Sage?
Even if you hold hands with someone from morning till night, you can't make your belly this big, right?
Ah?
Am I seeing things?
Broken!
I wasn't tainted by the Blood Moon all night, but you were tainted by the moon on my belly.
My cerebellum is boiling.
"Don't worry about me. With just a little healing power, I can withstand the pain and welcome her birth."
"Go ahead and do it, Cheng Shi. Of course, I'll accept any requests you may have."
After saying this, Qin Chaoge scoffed and turned to leave.
She was now quite certain that Mage mad Nature Sect was not the murderer.
But she still couldn't accept Hu Xuan's intentions.
In Qin Chaoge's view, "arbitrarily twisting life and wantonly ruining the body" are both forms of madness that are beyond the scope of human understanding.
She rejected this madness and scorned the players who embraced it.
Who says the Nature Sect is introverted?
They are only reserved in not harming others, but they may spare no effort in harming themselves.
Li Boli never expected Hu Xuan to look like this. When they met earlier today, she was clearly an elegant beauty with a slightly protruding belly.
"You... sigh, I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, she turned and walked out.
Only Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan remained at the scene.
Hu Xuan frowned as she looked at Cheng Shi, who remained motionless, still pondering how to "comfort" Cheng Shi further.
Unexpectedly, after the two left, Cheng Shi regained his color, and not only that, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
His expression was like that of a collector who had discovered a treasure of art.
"You..."
Now it was Hu Xuan's turn to be confused; she seemed a little out of sync with Cheng Shi's emotions.
Cheng Shi his best to control himself from laughing too grotesquely. He took out a birthing saw from his personal space and walked to the huge belly, carefully gesturing as if looking for the direction of the opening.
Hu Xuan smiled happily when she saw this.
The best news is that Doctor are willing to work.
"Let me state upfront that I have never delivered a baby this big before. If anything goes wrong, it is not the Doctor's fault."
"Hmm, it's none of your business."
"Also, I noticed you looked outside several times. I'm afraid you can't wait until dawn to unload the stuff in your belly."
Since time is so tight, there's no time to customize a new tool for you. This tool is secondhand; you don't mind, do you?
"Yes, I don't mind."
"Okay, one last question: why do you insist on having me deliver the baby?"
Although I am a Priest, Healing Art might not be very useful in your situation...
When it comes to dissecting a stomach, the Hunter is far more efficient than I am.
"Tell me, beautiful... Sage, why did you seek me out?"
"Yes, but is there enough time? As you said, by the time He rises, she will be unable to be born."
"Enough!"
Cheng Shi glanced outside. The Blood Moon still had a lingering shadow, and the sun was only showing a faint glimmer of light. It looked like it would be at least another half hour before dawn.
In half an hour, they can talk about everything from pregnancy to their child going to college.
"Is this... your consultation fee?"
"No, no, no, it's just a deposit," Cheng Shi said, waving his hand.
Hu Xuan smiled, her face as pale as ever, and nodded in response:
"Okay, I'll pay the deposit first."
To explain why we sought out Cheng Shi, we must first explain how Hu Xuan became the way she is.
Actually, things aren't complicated. If you don't think about it carefully, there's almost nothing new.
(Rationality temporarily stored...)
While everyone else left the inn to gather intelligence, Hu Xuan remained.
She returned to her room and began chatting with her handsome assistant to learn about the town.
During the conversation, she shared her insights on life, which "influenced" her assistant, leading him to reveal the town's most mysterious bestowal ceremony.
She then willingly held a bestowal ceremony, successfully getting her assistant pregnant with her child.
Then, she used her own methods to become pregnant with her assistant's child.
When both of their bellies were swollen, Hu Xuan silently sensed the life force emanating from the room and began to compare the differences between the Eternal Day and the Birth.
But after studying it for a while, she came to a shocking conclusion:
That is, the two men's Divine Authority seems to be no different.
Or rather, the Eternal Day is the Birth, only it is an incomplete Birth.
This discovery excited Hu Xuan.
She left the inn and began wandering the town. Every time she met a resident, she would exchange a child with him or her.
They also encountered Cheng Shi and Qin Chaoge along the way.
When her belly became so swollen that she needed help to move, she encountered the Time Ranger again.
The two exchanged information, reached an agreement, and then went their separate ways.
After nightfall, Hu Xuan realized that someone was watching her, but at that time, all her Divine Power was tied up by her large belly, and she had no strength to fight back.
So she chose to run away.
Although mobility is limited, don't forget that the ball can roll.
So, the wind of the wandering knight told the wandering knight:
The Life Sage is running wildly.
Although the behavior was not elegant, it was effective.
Using her talent, Hu Xuan managed to shake off the people behind her and found a deserted house to hide in.
In a secluded corner where no one could see her, she kept sensing the signs of Birth within her belly, becoming increasingly certain of her guess.
So she began to analyze the meaning of the "Yuanmu Town Gift Ritual" and Experiment on her own body.
She continually performs the giving ceremony; she is both the giver and the recipient.
Each time it is bestowed, the aura of the Eternal Day becomes heavier, and the Divine Power of Birth is also activated and becomes more active.
Under this constant scrutiny, her belly quickly swelled to an unbelievable size, forcing her to move from the outer courtyard to the inside of the house and use the roof to cover her enormous, stretched belly.
If other players are present, they will find that some of the ingenious designs may not be purely for aesthetic purposes.
Just like the dress Hu Xuan was wearing, even though it was stretched to the point where the paper-thin fibers were taut, it still didn't tear.
It perfectly enveloped her... curves.
As the Experiment progressed, the two "Birth" energies within her body began to gradually merge.
The increasingly solid aura even made her feel His gaze for a moment.
At this moment, Hu Xuan also realized that the baby in her belly was about to be born.
