Li Ziran's question was sudden, especially the way he looked at Shadow Elder; it didn't seem like a question, but rather an objective inquiry.

Few people here dare to have such an attitude. Shadow Elder the supreme leader of the Shadow Society and also a member of the Upper House the Dark Council. A single word from him can cause a tsunami in the world.

But now, Shadow Elder didn't seem angry. Instead, he asked curiously, "What about natural childbirth? What about a C-section?"

Li Ziran was very focused; he had no intention of trying to impress or gain attention. This was a topic that needed to be asked, and the recent cesarean section was merely to check the Embryo's development.

Although he wasn't a professional obstetrician, he at least knew that there was a difference between vaginal delivery and cesarean section.

"Senior, natural childbirth is like a ripe melon falling from its stem. Everything follows the natural laws of growth. During the birthing process, the fetus is compressed by the cervix, which helps to quickly establish respiratory circulation after birth. If it is Elves, it can enable their skin to absorb elements immediately."

As for a cesarean section, it's relatively simple; I can just cut open the uterus with a scalpel. However, there are often remnants of fetal tissue in the airway, making it impossible to form a respiratory system immediately. There's also the possibility of it affecting the fetus's brain development."

Li Ziran was not exaggerating; he was stating the facts. Seeing everyone's doubts, he added, "Of course, this is just a difference in details. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be much difference between babies born in the two ways."

"Detail?"

The usually expressionless Shadow Elder suddenly murmured upon hearing the last sentence, and after a brief silence, chuckled and said, "Since you say natural childbirth is better, then let's do it your way."

The others' expressions changed; they had never seen Shadow Elder so approachable before. Clearly, the young man's simple question had won him a lot of goodwill.

The Vampire, in particular, looked at Li Ziran with a degree of wariness. Although they were a group, there were countless rising stars in the Dark Council.

The only way for rising stars to rise is to eliminate the old members.

The cake is only so big; someone has to give it up.

Li Ziran had no idea what the person in front of him was thinking. After getting the answer, he began to focus on controlling the Corpse Witch.

He wasn't a professional obstetrician, but delivering babies wasn't as difficult as one might imagine. Under normal circumstances, anyone with a little skill could deliver a baby.

The only thing to be careful about is that the baby's head is down and it comes out first.

The Corpse Witch began spraying herself with Volcanic Potion, a necessary process because she would soon be able to insert her arm into the Butterfly Girl's body to adjust the position for Embryo development.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the arms are free from the contamination of Elemental Bug.

Li Ziran began preparing surgical scissors, the only tool available, to cut the umbilical cord after the Embryo is born.

Everyone watched Li Ziran bustling around, utterly bewildered. They couldn't understand why precious time was being wasted on such a clown's performance; they certainly didn't have time to watch a woman give birth.

Wouldn't it be better to use that time to devour an entire tribe or unleash a plague?

But Shadow Elder didn't express his opinion. He was very gentle and seemed somewhat interested in the human's outrageous behavior.

Finally, the Corpse Witch finished spraying the Volcanic Potion, dragged the Butterfly Girl to the edge of the round table, and began applying the Revival Potion, while another Corpse Witch massaged her lower abdomen.

The Butterfly Girl was in a coma, and the force of her natural childbirth came directly from external assistance.

After several steps, the Corpse Witch finally began to insert her arm, while Li Ziran closed his eyes, sensing everything inside the uterus.

A baby, somewhat resembling a human, with delicate skin, a chubby little mouth, and adorable limbs, but with a pair of small wings, and even a few strands of hair growing out. There are two faint buds on its forehead, which should be the horns of Demon.

At this moment, it floats in the amniotic fluid like a large fish, quite naturally.

"It seems he also wants to be born soon."

Li Ziran smiled, but the moment he touched the baby, the infant suddenly opened its eyes, a strange smile appearing on its rosy little mouth.

Hiss!

A suction force appeared, completely draining mental energy like noodles, and even affecting the soul.

Li Ziran was startled and quickly severed the connection between his mind and soul. This little guy, could he be thinking of him as a snack?

Opening his eyes, he saw that the Butterfly Girl was still calm as usual, but the Corpse Witch's arm embedded in her body had been severed.

At that moment, a hissing sound was coming from inside, like a mouse grinding its teeth. But after wriggling a few times, the fetus seemed to realize it was useless and was thrown out along the uterine wall.

Tricky!

He never expected the Embryo to suddenly attack him, and it seemed to have used some kind of magic to attack the Corpse Witch that had invaded his body.

This is very unusual, because in the past, it was believed that the cutting ability carried by the Embryo was only effective against living organisms.

Clearly, the first attempt at a natural birth failed.

But they couldn't wait; the Demon Embryo was already mature, and if it wasn't born in time, it might die completely in the uterus.

Embryo necrosis is not a big deal, but there are so many onlookers.

The most crucial factor is Sandrew's appreciation. If he cannot deliver the baby, his relationship with Sandrew and the Shadow Society will obviously be completely severed.

To avoid future trouble, they might even stay here.

He had to resort to some special methods.

[Transformation Spell - Serpent]

[Devouring Curse - Serpent]

The moment the two spells were cast, everyone in the room widened their eyes, especially Shadow Elder, who frowned in disgust.

Clearly, using his mental power in front of these powerful figures was like showing off his limited skills, but he needed to devour the soul of the Demon Embryo Embryo prevent it from resisting so fiercely.

"This is necessary!" At this moment, Sandrew whispered a few words to Shadow Elder, clearly recounting the recent development of the Demon Embryo.

After this explanation, Shadow Elder's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Li Ziran let out a soft sigh of relief. At that moment, he suddenly thought of using a cesarean section, a simple and direct method.

But she quickly gave up, because what Shadow Elder needed was a natural birth, and in this room, only this person could control everything.

He knew better than anyone that if he could satisfy this person, he might be able to gain a foothold.

Try again.

This time it was a different Corpse Witch, and Li Ziran poured all his soul into the Corpse Witch's body; he had to take a gamble.

It was still a slippery mucous membrane, and his fingers were moistened with the unique moisture of amniotic fluid. However, there was no fierce look in his eyes as he had imagined. Instead, he saw a slender Green-Tailed Snake, quietly floating in the amniotic fluid.

However, the snake's body was not fixed; wings were growing on its back, and its body was slowly transforming into a human form, with horns even growing on its forehead.

"What is this?" Li Ziran murmured, "A resistance Transformation Spell?"

His guess was probably right. With the help of Magic Organ, the other party's soul was rapidly reviving, and the first thing the soul did upon rebirth was to restore itself to its original Demon form, rather than this lowly snake-like form.

The first one he encountered was in its normal Demon form, and this Demon was capable of resisting the Transformation Spell on its own.

This wasn't the first time they'd encountered this; the Giant Elephant Commander had previously withstood the transformation in the swamp.

Her soul has not yet been completely reborn.

Li Ziran wouldn't let this opportunity slip by; he wouldn't have any extra Corpse Witch if he had to do it again.

Sizzle!

He grabbed the Embryo's head and pulled it outwards. The Embryo instinctively resisted, stirring up layers of dark air currents. The moment these currents appeared, they formed transparent Wind Blade. These Wind Blade protruded from the body, but instead of tearing apart the tables and chairs, they tore at the nearest living beings.

The largest Ogre's expression tightened, and it frantically shrank into a corner, shouting, "Soul Severing!"

Everyone else's expression changed, and they all went to their defenses. But just then, a loud shout rang out:

"Nonsense!"

A gray light descended, transforming into a protective shield that forced all the Wind Blade into the Butterfly Girl's body.

Puff!

Li Ziran noticed that the Embryo had coughed up blood, and the amniotic fluid had turned completely black. At that moment, the Embryo's strong resistance suddenly disappeared, and Li Ziran pulled the green snake's head out of the uterine wall with a forceful pull.

Success!

Before he could even feel happy, the head that had just detached from his body quickly transformed into a strange face with black pupils and two horns. Its two eyes stared intently at Li Ziran and inexplicably began to speak.

"Did you guide me into this world?"

After saying that, he chuckled and, without Li Ziran's help, his entire body had detached from the Butterfly Girl's womb. Unfortunately, he only had a Demon head left; his body remained in the form of a green snake.

The moment it left, it soared into the air, and a pair of bat wings suddenly grew from its back. With a gentle flash, a transparent whirlwind appeared, within which countless ghostly howls could be faintly heard.

"The Grudge Arcana!" the Ogre exclaimed. He seemed to be the least resistant to this kind of soul magic, and the others also quickly defended themselves, clearly aware of the dangers of Demonic Arcana.

Just as the curse was about to erupt, a voice suddenly laughed, "Little disciple, stop fooling around and come to your teacher."

It was Sandrew who made no visible movement, but simply opened his palm. The newborn baby, as if drawn by a thread, fell into his palm. No matter how much it resisted, it had no chance of escaping.

Sandrew seemed quite satisfied with his apprentice, and laughed heartily at the crowd, "Do you all find this Upper Demon you've conceived acceptable?"
