Bringing along Startling Salamander and Xiao Yan, Bai Su once again set foot on the road to the Lesser Sage Manor.
Ever since the Startling Salamander had left the net with him, the group had not been pursued by the net for a long time.
After traveling for another four months, knowing that the Frightening Salamander was about to give birth, Bai Su did not continue to cross the mountains and ridges. Instead, he walked on the broad road, even occasionally resting at other people's places.
One day, Bai Su supported the pregnant Startling Salamander as they walked towards the village.
He had wanted to find a family to rest for the night, but he did not expect to find an abandoned village. Perhaps the people in the village could not survive after years of war, so they moved to another place.
" Hiss…" Bai Su turned to look at the Frightening Salamander when he heard its voice. He saw that she was biting her lower lip with her teeth, as if she could no longer endure the pain.
Bai Su did not bother to look at the village anymore. Instead, he carefully checked the situation of the frightened salamander and found that she was about to give birth.
"Lu, go and see if there are any wooden buckets or basins in the village and get some water.”Bai Su instructed Yan Lu, whose eyes were also filled with worry. He even handed over the Light Embracing Sword that he carried with him. The light Embracing Sword contained his internal energy, which could be used for temporary self-defense.
Then, Bai Su supported the Startling Salamander and walked to the nearest thatched hut. The hut was very dilapidated, and there were several big holes in the roof. If it rained, the entire hut would probably be drenched.
However, Bai Su and the Startling Salamander were not that particular, not to mention the urgency of the situation.
After entering the room, Bai Su first helped the Startling Salamander to the bed that had not completely decayed. Then, he used his lightness skill to remove all the grass from the roof and spread it on the bed. He then helped the Startling Salamander lie down on the bed and helped her take off her clothes.
At this moment, the Startling Salamander finally couldn't take it anymore. The most serious injury she had suffered in the past seemed to be inferior to the pain of giving birth now. The waves of pain made her cry out involuntarily.
Bai Su looked at the frightened salamander, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he knew nothing about childbirth.
However, the Startling Salamander was not an ordinary person. Even though the pain was unbearable, it still successfully gave birth to the child after fifteen minutes.
Looking at the newborn baby, Bai Su immediately used the Frightening Salamander Sword to cut off the umbilical cord.
At this moment, Yan Lu had also found the water. Bai Su circulated all his internal energy and quickly steamed the water until it was hot. Then, he tore a piece of cloth from his outer coat and wet it with hot water to wipe the blood off the baby's body. Finally, he took off his outer coat and wrapped the baby like a swaddling cloth. He then asked Yan Lu to take care of him carefully.
After doing all this, Bai Su looked at the frightened salamander, who had passed out because of the successful delivery. Her face was covered in sweat from the pain.
Bai Su picked up the other piece of cloth he had left behind and dipped it in hot water. He carefully wiped the Salamander's face clean, and then wiped the other bloodstained areas clean.
After cleaning up everything, the Startling Salamander slowly woke up. Looking at its body that had been wiped clean, the Startling Salamander understood that this was all Bai Su's doing, but its heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"You're awake? How do you feel?" Bai Su asked as he looked at the awakened Startling Salamander.
"Thank you." It was still that cold expression. Ever since that night, the Startling Salamander had returned to its unapproachable expression, making Bai Su think that it was just a dream.
"You don't have to thank me. Since I let you follow me, I will take good care of you and your daughter. Unfortunately, I don't know how to deliver a baby. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you suffer in vain.”Bai Su recalled the pain of giving birth to the Startling Salamander, and an apologetic expression appeared on his face.
"Yes." Seeing Bai Su's apologetic expression, the Startling Salamander smiled again, making Bai Su certain that he wasn't dreaming that night.
"Lu, bring the child over and let the Startling Salamander take a look.”Bai Su was worried that he would embarrass himself again, so he quickly shouted to Yan Lu, who was looking after the child outside the house.
"Yes, Master." Yan Lu heard Bai Su's shout and hurriedly brought the child into the house.
At this moment, the Startling Salamander had already put on his clothes. With the powerful recovery ability of a martial artist, he could already move normally.
She saw the child in Yan Lu's arms. The Startling Salamander quickly walked forward and took it from Yan Lu's arms.
"Why is this child's body so wrinkled?”The Startling Salamander had never seen the appearance of a newborn baby. It only felt that it was because of it that the child had become like this. It could not help but feel a little heartache.
Bai Su couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the Startling Salamander said. Although he didn't know how to deliver babies, he knew the reason. He explained to the Startling Salamander,""This is a normal phenomenon. Because the baby has been immersed in the mother's strength, the skin will appear a little wrinkled when it is born. It will be fine in a few days.”
"That's good, that's good." Hearing Bai Su's explanation, the Startling Salamander couldn't help but feel relieved. Its entire body emitted a motherly glow, causing Yan Lu, who had never experienced fatherly or motherly love since he was young, to involuntarily yearn for it.
Just as they were rejoicing over the birth of their child, a group of uninvited guests arrived.
"Are you sure that the Startling Salamander has defected?" A man wearing the armor of the Imperial Army of the State of Qin asked his subordinate who was kneeling in front of him.
"Lord Masked Sun, according to the information gathered by the net, the Startling Salamander has indeed betrayed the net. Moreover…she seems to be pregnant, and the date of delivery may be in the next few days.”The man kneeling on the ground replied respectfully.
"Pregnant? Whose child?" Hearing that the Startling Salamander was about to give birth, the armored man, who was also Yari, suddenly became interested.
"According to the information from the Wei Kingdom branch of the Network, it should be the child of the deceased Lord Xinling, Wei Wuji. It is also very likely that the Salamander betrayed the Network because of this child.”the man replied.
"Since the news has been confirmed, Master Gen, pass down the order to take action tonight. Other than that child, the others will not be spared.”A red light flashed in Masked Sun's eyes, and his killing intent was revealed.
" Yes..." Master Gen replied and retreated.
Bai Su immediately sensed the killing intent the moment it appeared.
Then, he looked at the Startling Salamander with a solemn expression."We can't stay here for long. The net should have caught up.”
If it was before, as long as the Network mobilized all the first-class Heaven Grade experts, Bai Su could easily deal with them. After completely fusing with Wu Ming's soul, his strength had reached a level that even he could not estimate now.
However, the Startling Salamander had just given birth, and its body was very weak. It could only move normally, not to mention that there was Yan Lu and a baby beside it. If they were not careful, they would be in danger.
