Battle Through the Heavens, Reborn as Xiao Yan's Sister

(I was put in the dark for the last chapter, and it might have to be heavily revised, which is really frustrating.)
Northwest Continent - Gama Holy City.

In the heart of the holy city of the Gama Empire, a magnificent palace has risen from who knows when. The main hall is extremely high, and from the top, one can overlook the entire city.

This is the most powerful place in the Northwest Continent today, and also the headquarters of the Soul Suppressing Court!
Deep within this magnificent palace, in a tranquil and sacred chamber, Queen Medusa lay on a bed made of rare materials. Her Majesty was pale, and pain was evident in her expression.

All around, several experienced snake-woman maids were busy but orderly attending to the pregnant queen, carefully tending to her. A faint fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the air, meant to alleviate the queen's pain.

A large crowd had already gathered outside the palace. First among them were Xiao's father and mother. The couple, who were about to hold their granddaughter, were holding hands nervously and waiting anxiously.

Next came Zi Yan, Qing Lin, Can Yue, Spider Girl, Xiao Zi, the Queen's personal guard Hua She'er, and even Yao Chen and the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire were present.

"Little Fairy Doctor, how is Sister Medusa?" Seeing Little Fairy Doctor come out of the palace, Zi Yan's eyes lit up and she quickly stepped forward to ask.

Among them, she was closest to Queen Medusa. Zi Yan was outgoing, mischievous and playful. Although Medusa was aloof, she was willing to temporarily put aside her pride and fool around with Zi Yan, enjoying it. Therefore, the two had a good relationship when they were at Canaan Academy.

"The situation is not good. I don't know much about the physiological structure of the snake people. Although Sister Xiao Yue left some solutions, I'm still not confident..." Little Fairy Doctor said with some worry.

As Xiao Yue's student, she has the highest medical skills here. Although Yao Chen is the number one alchemist on the continent, he doesn't know much about female pregnancy, especially about snake-people bloodlines. Therefore, everyone can only place their hopes on Little Fairy Doctor.

This has led to Little Fairy Doctor being under immense pressure, since the baby in the womb also has Xiao Yue's bloodline. The probability of snake people and humans having their bloodlines merge is extremely rare, and babies with both human and snake people's bloodlines generally have a low chance of survival!

Miraculous examples like Qinglin are actually very rare!

Just at this time,

A spatial rift suddenly opened above the palace outside the main hall, and a figure instantly appeared from the rift. It was Xiao Yue, who had rushed over from the Tianxin Empire.

"Yue'er is back!"

When Mr. and Mrs. Xiao saw their eldest daughter return, they were overjoyed. Everyone else present also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their pillar of support.

Xiao Yue, who had just arrived, also looked extremely solemn. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were piercing as she stared directly at the direction of the palace, as if she could see through the walls and witness everything that was happening inside.

"Xiao Yue!"

When Zi Yan saw Xiao Yue, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quickly ran to Xiao Yue's side and grabbed her hand tightly. "Xiao Yue, Sister Medusa's condition isn't good. Little Fairy Doctor also said she wasn't entirely confident..."

The little girl's voice was choked with sobs, clearly indicating that she was extremely nervous.

Xiao Yue gently patted Zi Yan's hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

After saying that, she turned to Little Fairy Doctor and said, "Tell me the details."

When Xiao Yue arrived, the tension in Xiao Yi Xian's heart eased slightly, and she quickly recounted Medusa's situation in detail.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue frowned even more deeply, but she did not panic. Instead, she pondered for a moment and then made a decisive decision. She then systematically issued a series of orders to those around her.

With her instructions in place, everyone sprang into action, making final preparations for the upcoming delivery.

Finally, Xiao Yue looked at Yao Chen in the distance and said apologetically, "Elder Yao, this is troublesome. Whether that pill can be refined within four hours depends on you."

The formula for that pill was something she had only recently deduced, and before she could even begin refining it, signs of Queen Medusa's premature birth appeared.

Yao Chen stroked his beard and sighed, "To refine a seventh-grade pill in just a few hours is quite a challenge."

"However... I do claim to be the number one alchemist on the continent. If I can't refine it, I'm afraid I'll be ridiculed for the rest of my life," Yao Chen said with a smile.

After saying that, he slowly walked out of the main hall and began refining pills in front of everyone in the sky!
Xiao Yue chuckled upon seeing this. In fact, she had great faith in Yao Chen's alchemy skills. After all, the title of the number one alchemist on the continent was not just empty boasting.

"Qinglin, come in with us."

Then Xiao Yue spoke to a petite girl in the distance, dressed in an elegant light green outfit and with two emerald braids.

Qinglin is also half-human and half-snake. Although her situation is completely different from that of the fetus in Queen Medusa's womb, her special talent for snakes with her three-flowered eyes might be of help in the future.

Afterwards, Xiao Yue led Little Fairy Doctor and Qing Lin slowly into the palace. Her gaze first fell on Queen Medusa lying on the bed.

Her Majesty the Queen's face was covered in sweat, and her brows were furrowed, clearly indicating that she was enduring immense pain.

Seeing Queen Medusa's weak appearance, Xiao Yue felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. She calmed herself down, then slowly walked to the bedside and gently held Her Majesty the Queen's hand.

"Are you alright...?"

Xiao Yue asked softly.

When Queen Medusa saw Xiao Yue arrive, a flicker of embarrassment and barely perceptible joy flashed in her eyes. She gave a cold snort and said weakly, "I thought you weren't coming back..."

Since Yun Yun left with Nalan Yanran that night, Xiao Yue has been away for the past six months, mostly leading the Zhenhunting army on campaigns. She rarely sees Queen Medusa, so it's no wonder that Her Majesty is acting so resentful and indifferent.

"No matter when or where, I will come back." Xiao Yue smiled, her eyes full of tenderness.

She gently stroked Queen Medusa's long hair, trying to soothe the queen's emotions with her own strength.

Queen Medusa felt Xiao Yue's gentleness, and her anxiety seemed to ease a little. She looked deeply at Xiao Yue, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Xiao Yue spoke softly, her voice like a gentle spring breeze, gradually dispelling the unease in Queen Medusa's heart.

then,

Xiao Yue began to carefully examine Queen Medusa's condition, her gaze somewhat solemn, not missing a single detail.

Queen Medusa's physique is very special. Not only does she possess the bloodline of the snake people, but after evolving into the domineering Devouring Python, she also became a major burden in this reproduction. After all, the reason why the Devouring Python clan disappeared was largely due to its extremely low birth rate and small number of offspring!

"Take these pills first..."

Xiao Yue took out several bottles of specially made pills and gently fed them to Queen Medusa.

These elixirs were carefully crafted by her based on the characteristics of the snake-people's bloodline. They could help Her Majesty the Queen alleviate her pain and also help stabilize the fetus's breathing.

"Is there anything wrong with these pills you gave me?" Queen Medusa turned her head, somewhat disgusted.

Xiao Yue couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing this.

He knew that Her Majesty the Queen was unhappy with his actions of using elixirs to harm her in his earlier years.

Afterwards, under Xiao Yue's half-hearted coaxing, Her Majesty reluctantly swallowed the pill. As it went down, her complexion improved considerably, and the pain seemed to lessen significantly. ...

Time passed little by little.
Queen Medusa's condition is also gradually improving.

Throughout this time, Xiao Yue stayed by her side, constantly offering encouragement and support. After all, what Her Majesty needed most at this moment was trust and companionship.

Meanwhile, people outside, including Xiao's parents, were also anxiously waiting for a long time.

Soon after, Yao Chen had a maid bring in the seventh-grade auxiliary pill, and Xiao Yue didn't delay, quickly having Queen Medusa take it.

at last,

After a long wait and torment, a clear cry broke the tranquility of the palace.

"Sister Xiao Yue, it's a girl!"

Qinglin said with some excitement.

At this moment, Little Fairy Doctor, holding her newborn baby, walked up to Xiao Yue and Queen Medusa.

Looking at the adorable baby in Little Fairy Doctor's arms, Xiao Yue also showed a gentle smile. She reached out and gently stroked the baby's delicate little face.

"Little one, welcome to this world," Xiao Yue said softly, her eyes full of tenderness.

When Queen Medusa saw her child, a tender light flashed in her eyes. She struggled to sit up, took her child from Little Fairy Doctor's hands, and held him tightly in her arms.

"This is my daughter..."

Looking at the baby girl in her arms, Queen Medusa spoke softly, her voice filled with a sense of bewilderment and complexity.

"Wow~"

The baby in the swaddling clothes cried softly, her little face flushed, and smiled at Queen Medusa. She was so adorable. Looking at Her Majesty the Queen, who was her mother, her little mouth opened slightly and made a series of indistinct babbling sounds.

"Pick a name."

Xiao Yue said softly.

"I've already thought of a name, it will be Xiao Xiao." Queen Medusa looked at the little life in her arms, her eyes full of tenderness and love, and said with a slight pursing of her lips.

“Aaaaaa…”

Seemingly understanding that Queen Medusa was naming her, the little girl happily waved her little hands and feet, hugged her mother, and rubbed her face against Queen Medusa. She was incredibly cute, chubby, and looked like a ball of cotton candy.

"Xiaoxiao? Not a bad name. I'll call her Xiaoxiao from now on," Xiao Yue said with a light laugh.

At this moment, the baby girl in Queen Medusa's arms suddenly blinked her big eyes and happily opened her little arms toward Xiao Yue, clearly wanting her to hold her.

"It seems like she really likes you."

Queen Medusa's words carried a hint of jealousy.

"Of course..." Xiao Yue smiled slightly.

Saying,

She then gently took the child from Her Majesty the Queen's hands and examined him closely. The baby was very cute, exquisitely beautiful, with skin as smooth as the finest silk, pink and tender, as if it would burst with moisture at the slightest touch.

Moreover, it possesses most of Xiao Yue's physical features, including the same silver-white hair and red eyes, and a strange, bright red vertical line between its brows.

It showed its extraordinary qualities from birth, neither crying nor fussing. Its bright eyes curiously observed everything around it, and its long eyelashes fluttered like little fans, making people feel happy just looking at it.

"Ouch~"

At this time,

Suddenly, a bright light appeared between Xiao Xiao's eyebrows, and then a tattoo of a seven-colored snake slowly moved across her delicate skin, finally materializing and coiling around Xiao Xiao's shoulder, happily flicking its tongue at Xiao Yue.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xiao Yue chuckled softly and gently stroked the little head of the seven-colored snake.

Xiao Cai's soul was reborn through Xiao Xiao's body, and in return, it became Xiao Xiao's guardian, that is, her companion soul.

"You must protect Xiaoxiao well from now on," Xiao Yue said softly.

"Ooh-ooh~"

The colorful little snake flicked its tongue and nodded, then rubbed against the baby girl's face, seemingly communicating with Xiao Xiao. The baby girl also reached out her little hand and gently stroked the little snake, making innocent babbling sounds, as if she could understand what Xiao Cai was saying.

With the birth of Xiao Xiao, Hua She'er and Zi Yan, who had been anxiously waiting outside, rushed into the palace. The entire hall was filled with a joyful and celebratory atmosphere, and Xiao's parents happily held their granddaughter.

"This child not only inherited your appearance, but also your soul power. Such terrifying soul power fluctuations suggest that he has already reached the Spirit Realm!" Yao Chen exclaimed.

Born with the soul power of the Spirit Realm, plus the Devouring Python bloodline and the companion soul like Xiao Cai, this little guy, who was just born, directly possessed the strength of a Dou Zong powerhouse!

“Aaaaaa…”

Seeing the large group of people suddenly surging around, the little girl seemed a little shy, curled up in Xiao's mother Liu Yan's arms, and looked around at the people with a mix of timidity and curiosity along with the seven-colored little snake.

"Is this Medusa's daughter? She's so cute!" Zi Yan came closer, carefully approaching Xiao Xiao, and gently touched her pink little face with her finger, her eyes sparkling with joy and excitement.

At this moment, Xiao Xiao seemed to sense Zi Yan's kindness. She blinked her bright eyes, looked at Zi Yan, and a babbling smile appeared on her lips.

"Little princess, from now on I'm your Aunt Ziyan, and I'll take good care of you!" Upon seeing this, Ziyan put her hands on her hips and patted her chest with a beaming smile.

These words immediately elicited a burst of laughter in the room.

"You call yourself 'Auntie'..."

Xiao Yue couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Afterwards, Xiao Yue dismissed everyone so that Queen Medusa could rest properly, as she was still very weak after giving birth.
