From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 23: Genius is really enviable (please read it later)
Mr. Chen was the richest family in Dachen Village. As the Chen family grew, some distant relatives took root nearby and gradually formed a large village.

The Chen family built a large mansion covering several acres in the prime location, with three entrances and exits. In front of the door was a man-made pond, flanked by willow trees. Although the weather was still cold and the willows had not yet sprouted, the scenery was already quite impressive.

In a side room, a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old had a pale face. Several midwives were busy beside her. Hot water was boiling in the room, and the steam filled the whole room.

"Hey, why is something not right?"

"When I came to check last month, the fetus wasn't this big yet. It must be nearly eight kilograms now."

The little carp hid himself aside. He had the divine throne by his side, and mortals could not see his trace.

He flipped through the booklet, making sure he hadn't made any mistakes. But according to the booklet, the Chen family's eldest daughter-in-law's fetus weighed only about five and a half pounds. How had it grown so much in just one month? Was she taking hormones?
You Ming scratched the back of his head. This woman was giving birth for the first time, and the fetus had grown so much all of a sudden. It must have been a difficult birth. No wonder her face looked so pale.

What else can I do? I'll just keep throwing away the lucky fruit.

After the last victory in the Small Spirit Realm, Little Carp made a big splash in Changning County. He also took the opportunity to get a lot of lucky fruits from the Yin-Yang Division.

He opened his mouth and spit out a red fruit in a ball of hazy light.

The blessed fruit fell on the body of the woman in labor and instantly dissolved. In the invisible void, the woman's fortune suddenly increased.

But before the little carp could be happy, its luck began to decline slowly. Although the speed was not fast, it was estimated that its luck would be exhausted in half an hour.

"Hiss, what's going on?"

The little carp suddenly felt that the situation was difficult. He was just a small god of the ninth rank. Although he was the god in charge of fertility, he knew nothing about many things.

Faced with this inexplicable situation, he could only throw another lucky fruit at the woman after her fortune dropped to a certain level.

The delivery soon reached a critical moment. The woman was young and it was her first time giving birth, so it was very difficult. After the woman gradually became exhausted, several midwives quickly poured her a bowl of brown sugar water and fed her to drink.

This is the treatment only enjoyed by wealthy families.

But despite this, the woman's condition was still not very good.

After discussing for a while, the midwives tried to adjust the woman's posture, either lying on her side or half-lying on her back, but the fetus still refused to show its head, which made the woman even more exhausted.

You Ming, who was watching from the side, was also very anxious. He could only continue to throw blessing fruits at the woman.

He felt that one blessing fruit might not be enough, so he threw three in a row. In a short period of time, the woman's fortune skyrocketed. In You Ming's eyes, he could even see red light all over the ground, illuminating the entire room.

"Ah, the head is out. Madam, give it a little more strength."

After struggling for several hours, the fetus's head finally slowly emerged. Fortunately, she was blessed with good fortune, otherwise the woman's body would definitely have been in trouble after such a long time.

Hearing this, the woman bit the towel tightly and continued to push down.

"There is a door!"

Seeing this, You Ming didn't care too much and threw two more blessing fruits. Anyway, there are plenty of these things [Yin Yang Division], and human life is definitely the most important.

The five blessing fruits worked at the same time, and the woman's subsequent delivery went much more smoothly.

"Wow!"

With a loud cry, the dullness and anxiety in the delivery room were finally broken.

"Congratulations, young lady, it's a little boy!" The midwives held the baby, quickly washed his body with hot water, quickly wrapped him in quilts, and handed him to the woman.

Although newly born, the baby does not look wrinkled at all as if it has been soaked in amniotic fluid for a long time. Instead, it looks delicate and graceful, and its body is slightly larger than that of an ordinary baby, making it look a bit like a full-moon baby.

Youming, who was hiding in the dark, was also wagging his tail happily. Every time he gave birth to a child, he, as a god, felt a great sense of accomplishment.

However, when he looked up at the baby, the whole fish was stunned.

There are three icons floating on the baby's body. One is a human figure sitting cross-legged, as if closing his eyes in deep thought; one is a figure with muscular torsos, as if cast in iron; and another icon contains a flower bud about to bloom.

"Nine orifices are bright! Bones are made of iron! Beautiful eyes and clear face!"

The appearance of icons is not new, as it represents that the baby has special talents, but three icons appear in a row, and one of them is an advanced icon of perception, which is outrageous.

This means that when this little baby is born, he or she will have +5 understanding, +1 physique, and +1 appearance. This makes him or her a template for a genius no matter where he or she is.

This made the little carp envious and cry. If he had this talent, he would not be unable to understand the Heavenly Book of Insect Seal and have to spend money to hire someone to help explain it.

The value of comprehension +5 is really enviable.

A little boy was born in Mr. Chen's family, and naturally everyone was happy. Mr. Chen, who had always been stingy, had lanterns hung at the door on the child's hundredth day and invited celebrities in the city to watch the ceremony.

Even when some poor relatives came to visit, he was willing to give them a big bowl of white rice and a few slices of shiny braised pork, and also give them a few pounds of rice and flour to take away, as a way to accumulate merit for the children.

Everyone in Dachen Village was naturally grateful and wished the young master a hundred years old.

"Oh, this feels so good."

On the surface of the Feng River, the little carps were lying on their stomachs, lazily basking in the sun.

It is early spring now. The willow trees on both sides of the river are sprouting. The snow in the north is melting and turning into gurgling springs that flow into the Fenghe River, making the river water clear and sweet.

Recently, he has also begun to think about how to use Xuan Guang.

The [Treasure Book of River and Sea Tides] contained some methods of using the mysterious light, but his talent was limited after all, and he couldn't figure it out after three months of thinking.

But he was not in a hurry. He had now entered the realm of [Xuan Guang] and as a demon he could live for three hundred years, so he could take it slow.

When more children under his jurisdiction have good talents, he will also benefit from it.

Just in the past three months, nearly twenty children have been born in the three villages, including three gifted ones.

If this momentum continues, I will be able to get a considerable bonus in just 20 to 30 years.

Thinking of this, the little carp felt even happier.

"Whoosh."

At this moment, a dark green light flew across the sky and flew several miles away in a blink of an eye. The light shone so brightly that even the little carp was dazed for a moment.

"Huh? Monk Xuanguang?"

You Ming flipped over from the water with a real carp somersault and looked up at the direction where Xuan Guang flew.
