The next day, morning sunlight streamed through the window onto the bed. Feng Xiu slowly opened his azure eyes and quietly gazed at the beautiful woman beside him, still sleeping soundly.
Bai Lingxuan seemed to sense Feng Xiu's burning gaze and slowly woke up, only to find him staring at her without blinking.
"You're pregnant. Why aren't you sleeping a little longer?" Feng Xiu said, gently stroking Bai Lingxuan's hair.
Bai Lingxuan touched her slightly rounded belly, her gaze softening.
"In a little over six months, this little one will be born. Do you hope for a son or a daughter?"
Feng Xiu not only knew whether it was a boy or a girl, but even knew the child's name. He even knew what this child's son would be called and what he looked like.
"I hope it's a daughter, so she can give me a fine grandson someday to inherit my legacy."
Bai Lingxuan smiled faintly, thinking Feng Xiu was joking. She did not take it to heart and sat up to change clothes, while Feng Xiu carefully helped his beloved get dressed.
The two walked hand in hand into the courtyard, gazing out over the lush green wilderness and breathing in the fresh, sweet air, both in high spirits.
"Brother Xiu, I want to give birth here before returning to the Demon Race with you. What do you think?"
"Fine."
The Demon Race's environment truly was not suitable for humans, especially Demon Capital Heart City, where the dark aura was far too dense. Bai Lingxuan was a light-element priest; if she returned with him to live in Heart City, it would likely be detrimental to her pregnancy.
Thus, six months passed in the blink of an eye. Feng Xiu could sense that the little life inside Bai Lingxuan's belly was about to be born, perhaps within the next few days.
That day, Bai Lingxuan was busy knitting clothes for the child inside the house, while Feng Xiu practiced his spear techniques in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out in Feng Xiu's mind.
"Eternal and Creation God's Throne of Divine Seal will only acknowledge a Child of Light. For Long Haochen's sake, your daughter must change her attribute."
Feng Xiu was so shocked that he nearly lost his grip on the Golden Dragon Spear, for he recognized the voice as the Golden Dragon King's.
"Thank you for the reminder, my lord!" Feng Xiu replied in his mind, but the Golden Dragon King did not speak again.
Feng Xiu put away the Golden Dragon Spear and fell into deep thought.
He had originally not planned to let Bai Lingxuan follow the original plot and change Bai Yue's dark attribute by exchanging blood with her, because it would cause irreversible harm to Bai Lingxuan's body. In the original plot, Bai Lingxuan had died precisely because the procedure depleted her blood and vitality.
After the blood exchange, Bai Yue's bodily functions would also be damaged to a certain extent. Not only would she become frail and sickly, but she would also lose the ability to cultivate. This was something Feng Xiu did not wish to see.
But after the Golden Dragon King's reminder, Feng Xiu had no choice but to reconsider.
If Bai Yue did not undergo the blood exchange, the dark aura on her body would not disappear. The bloodline aura belonging to the Heaven-defying Demon Dragon Clan would also frighten humans. Would Long Xingyu still be with Bai Yue then?
Without Long Xingyu, how could there be Long Haochen?
At that thought, Feng Xiu let out a deep sigh. He then spread open his right palm, and a ball of emerald-green light floated above it.
This green light was the Source of Life that Feng Xiu had obtained by chance. In the original plot, Feng Xiu had used it to save Vashak's life.
With the Source of Life, Bai Lingxuan would not die from depleted blood and vitality. Instead, her body would become even healthier.
As for Bai Yue, Feng Xiu had a secret technique to help her recuperate and restore her damaged bodily functions. It would simply cost Feng Xiu more effort.
Long Haochen, Long Haochen... For you to be born safely, not only I, but even your grandmother and mother must give up so much. I hope you will not disappoint me again this time.
Three days later, amid Bai Lingxuan's cries of pain, a baby girl was born.
Feng Xiu gently held the infant. A dense bloodline aura radiated from her tiny body, making him feel exceptionally close to her.
Feng Xiu carried the baby over for Bai Lingxuan to see and asked, "Ling Xuan, it's a daughter. Give her a name."
Bai Lingxuan, her face somewhat pale, wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled. "Brother Xiu, you name our daughter."
Without hesitation, Feng Xiu said, "Let's call her Bai Yue."
After Bai Yue was born, Feng Xiu did not immediately take Bai Lingxuan away. Instead, he had her rest in the small town for another month. Under Feng Xiu's meticulous care, the blood and vitality Bai Lingxuan had lost during childbirth gradually recovered.
That day, after this "stay-at-home dad" Feng Xiu coaxed Bai Yue to sleep, he took Bai Lingxuan's delicate hand and led her into the courtyard.
"Brother Xiu, these past few days, you've always looked like you have something you want to say but can't. If there's something, just tell me." Bai Lingxuan smiled, holding Feng Xiu's hand.
"Ling Xuan, there's actually something important I've never told you. I'm no longer the Feng Xiu I used to be..."
Feng Xiu slowly recounted the circumstances of his rebirth and his plans, concealing nothing from Bai Lingxuan.
"Ling Xuan, for our grandson Long Haochen to be born safely, we must exchange Yue'er's blood. You, you..."
By the end, Feng Xiu could not continue, because he simply could not bring himself to say it.
Bai Lingxuan smiled and patted Feng Xiu's hand. "Brother Xiu, whether it is for you or for Yue'er, I will do it. Being able to grow old with you in this life is already my greatest happiness."
Feng Xiu drew Bai Lingxuan into his arms and murmured, "Meeting you in this life is also my greatest happiness."
Once everything was ready, with Feng Xiu's assistance, Bai Lingxuan began using her own blood to exchange Bai Yue's blood. During the process, the dark aura on Bai Yue's body grew weaker and weaker until it finally vanished.
After the blood exchange ended, Feng Xiu raised his right hand. A ball of emerald-green light drifted away and descended toward Bai Lingxuan's body.
A gentle green radiance surrounded Bai Lingxuan's body as a powerful life force poured madly into her. Crisp, pleasant sounds of collision rang out continuously, like flowing water through mountains and harmonious zithers.
With the infusion of the Source of Life, Bai Lingxuan's depleted life force recovered at an astonishing speed. The pallor in her face gradually gave way to color, and her spirits became even better than before.
Once Bai Lingxuan's condition stabilized, Feng Xiu began using his secret technique to nurture his daughter Bai Yue's body. Bai Lingxuan looked on painfully as Feng Xiu's face alternated between red and white, constantly using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his brow.
Feng Xiu spent a full five days restoring Bai Yue's body. From then on, not only would Bai Yue's physical constitution surpass that of ordinary people, but her cultivation talent would rise to an even greater level.
Bai Lingxuan packed their belongings and left the small town, filled with the two of them's beautiful memories, together with Feng Xiu and her daughter Bai Yue.
