I established the Eternal Immortal Clan by taming beasts.

Night had fallen, but the Lin family's backyard was brightly lit, filled with a strange atmosphere that mixed tension and anticipation.

Liu Qingxue stood quietly in the corridor.

Her posture remained upright, but her noticeably protruding belly added a touch of maternal softness to her usual aloof demeanor.

At this moment, her eyes, which were always as calm as an ice lake, were gazing at the bright candlelight flickering on the window paper of the delivery room not far away, and deep in her eyes was a lingering, faint worry.

Su Wanwan stood close to her, one hand unconsciously stroking her slightly protruding belly, while the other hand tightly gripped Liu Qingxue's sleeve, her fingertips turning white.

Her delicate face was filled with tension; her brows were slightly furrowed, and her lips were tightly pursed, as if it were she herself, not Wang Lingsu, who was experiencing labor pains.

"Sister Qingxue," Su Wanwan's voice trembled slightly as she repeated the question she had asked countless times, "Sister Lingsu...she'll be alright, right?"

Liu Qingxue felt Su Wanwan's slightly cold, tight grip in her palm, and gently squeezed back, trying to convey a sense of comfort.

She took a deep breath of the cool night air and exhaled slowly, deliberately keeping her voice steady: "Don't worry, Sister Lingsu has always been physically strong, and the head of the family personally prepares remedies to prevent miscarriage every day. She and the child in her womb are both fine and will definitely have a smooth delivery."

Her tone was firm, both to comfort Su Wanwan and to convince herself.

The backyard was unusually quiet at the moment, with only the faint sounds coming from the delivery room and the two of them breathing.

At such a crucial moment, where is Lin Che, the head of the family and the backbone of the family?

……

Inside the delivery room, the light and shadows flickered, creating a completely different atmosphere.

Wang Lingsu lay on the birthing bed covered with soft cotton, her hair at her temples completely soaked with sweat, sticking to her pale but still beautiful face.

She bit down on a piece of specially made cork to prevent herself from hurting herself in extreme pain, while her hands gripped the edge of the bed so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

A series of intense contractions, stronger and stronger, struck her, causing her to let out suppressed moans of pain. Her chest heaved violently as she gasped for breath, trying to gather her strength.

At this moment, sitting steadily by the bedside, one hand gently pressing on Wang Lingsu's wrist pulse, the other hand guiding her with fingers to slowly channel pure and gentle spiritual energy into her body, dredging her blood and qi, calming her fetal movements, and relieving her severe pain, was none other than Lin Che!

That's right, he personally took on the important role of midwife.

For him, the smooth birth of a family member and the safety of the mother and child were more important than all worldly rules and unnecessary taboos.

The notions that "a man entering the delivery room will disrupt his blood circulation" and "the delivery room is an inauspicious place" are nothing but baseless and outdated customs in his eyes.

The idea that a "patriarch of rank" should not engage in such "lowly occupations" is utterly absurd.

Wang Lingsu is his Daoist partner, and the child in her womb is his flesh and blood. Protecting their safety is his inescapable responsibility as a husband, a father, and the head of the family.

To this end, he had already consulted many medical classics about the records of childbirth and the birth of a fetus.

I systematically learned all the knowledge and skills that can promote a smooth delivery and ensure the safety of both mother and child.

With his powerful divine sense as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and his exquisite control over spiritual energy, he not only had no difficulty, but could also do it more accurately and reliably.

"Ling Su, look at me." Lin Che's voice was deep and steady, with a soothing tone.

"Don't be afraid, and don't try to tough it out. Relax your mind and follow the direction of the spiritual energy I'm channeling into your body."

"Yes, that's it, inhale slowly... Okay, now, with the push of spiritual energy, slowly exert force..."

His gaze was focused and calm, his divine sense constantly monitoring every change within Wang Lingsu's body—the position of the fetus, the flow of blood and qi, the opening and closing of the cervix…

The warm current of spiritual energy guided the fetus to move downwards along the smoothest path.

Sweat also slid down Lin Che's forehead.

Under his methodical guidance and with the aid of his spiritual power, Wang Lingsu's painful groans gradually gave way to more powerful and rhythmic sounds of exertion.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Wang Lingsu's already fluctuating aura due to childbirth suddenly became violently chaotic!

The fetus in her womb seemed to be instinctively seeking the power needed for its birth, and began to unconsciously and greedily absorb the spiritual power from the mother's body!

In an instant, the spiritual energy that Wang Lingsu had already consumed was uncontrollably rushing towards her abdomen like a burst dam, forming a miniature vortex of spiritual energy!

Her face paled even more instantly, and her breathing became labored, as if even the last bit of strength to keep going was about to be drained away.

"Don't panic!" Lin Che's voice remained as steady as a rock, carrying a reassuring power: "Concentrate your mind, guard your dantian, and gather your spiritual sense!"

Before he finished speaking, his other free hand was already resting on Wang Lingsu's protruding belly.

The pure, gentle, and vibrant wood-attribute true essence, like the softest spring rain, slowly seeped into her body.

This force did not compete with the fetus for spiritual energy, but rather acted like a flexible yet stable net, instantly protecting Wang Lingsu's heart meridian and her precarious dantian.

At the same time, it gently but powerfully guides the chaotic flow of spiritual energy that has been absorbed by the fetus's instincts, bringing it back onto a smooth track.

With the support of Lin Che's powerful and precise spiritual energy, Wang Lingsu felt a great relief from the pressure, and her almost drained body seemed to be infused with a warm spring.

The chaotic energy within his body was quickly calmed down, and the weakness caused by the forced absorption of spiritual power was effectively suppressed. A trace of color finally returned to his pale face.

"Ling Su, look at me." Lin Che released his divine sense slightly, and Wang Ling Su's weakened spiritual sense, due to pain and exhaustion, gently touched and connected with it.

"Follow my guidance, this is the last time. Focus all your will and strength."

His voice seemed to possess a magical power, dispelling the fog and weariness in Wang Lingsu's mind.

A resolute and bright light rekindled in her eyes as she looked at Lin Che and nodded heavily.

Taking a deep breath, she gathered the last and purest strength in her body, achieving a perfect unity of mind and body.

Completely trusting and following Lin Chezhen's clear and powerful guidance, they fought with all their might—

"Wow--!!!"

A baby's cry, exceptionally loud, full of primal vitality and vigor, like the first ray of dawn, suddenly pierced through all the tension, pain, and solemnity in the delivery room!

The clear, crisp cry, carrying the air of announcing the arrival of the newborn, pierced through the door and reached the ears of the two anxiously waiting women in the courtyard.

gave birth!

Su Wanwan and Liu Qingxue, who were standing under the corridor, both shuddered and looked at each other simultaneously.

Their tense breathing seemed to pause for a moment.

Immediately, a great sense of relaxation and joy washed over them like a warm current, causing them to unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief and smiles of relief on their faces.

A short while later, Lin Che's calm voice came from inside the room: "You may come in now."

The two couldn't wait and gently pushed open the door.

His gaze first fell eagerly on Wang Lingsu, who lay wearily on the bed.

Her hair was damp with sweat, and her face was still a little pale, but her eyes were bright as she looked at her child, and a smile full of maternal radiance appeared on her lips.

Immediately, their gazes followed Wang Lingsu's line of sight and fell upon Lin Che's arms.

He was carefully wrapping a rosy little baby in a soft cotton swaddle.

Su Wanwan patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly walked to the bedside to sit down.

Holding Wang Lingsu's hand tightly, her eyes reddening, she said, "Sister Lingsu, I'm so glad you're alright! I was so worried about you!"

Wang Lingsu grasped her hand in return, her smile gentle yet resolute: "With my husband here, how could he allow any accidents to happen to me?" Her words revealed her complete trust in Lin Che.

Liu Qingxue also took a few steps closer, first glancing at Wang Lingsu with concern, and only after confirming that she was alright did she turn her gaze to the little one in Lin Che's arms.

The little one seemed to have cried himself to sleep; his face was all scrunched up, and he was fast asleep with his eyes closed, his little mouth moving slightly involuntarily.

Looking at this new life, the coldness on Liu Qingxue's face had long since melted away, turning into a soft and gentle warmth.

She unconsciously stroked her swollen belly, feeling the pulse of life within, and softly asked:

"Master, did Sister Lingsu give birth to a boy or a girl? Have you named him?"

Lin Che felt the even breathing and warmth of the small body in his arms, so closely connected to his own bloodline.

Looking out the window again, I saw that the night sky had cleared up and the stars were beginning to appear. I felt a sense of openness and joy that I could not describe.

Even though he usually reminds himself to maintain a calm and ordinary mindset.

But at this moment, his own flesh and blood was safely born, and he held his own flesh and blood in his arms.

That surge of emotion, originating from the very source of life and concerning inheritance and the future, still surged through my entire body uncontrollably.

He lowered his head, gazing at the baby's sleeping, tender face, his eyes overflowing with tenderness, and his voice unconsciously softened to an extremely gentle tone:

"It's a boy."

He paused, then looked out the window at the vast starry sky again, his gaze seemingly traversing endless time and space, seeing the future trajectory of the Lin family. His voice became solemn and full of anticipation:

"Our Lin family is founded on the art of beast taming, emphasizing the spiritual connection between humans and spirit beasts, cultivating together, and growing together. This bond, this tradition, should be shared and passed down from generation to generation!"

A poem, long brewing in his heart and carrying his boundless expectations for his family, naturally surfaced in his mind. He recited it slowly, his voice clear and resonant, echoing throughout the room:

"The profound mind connects with all spirits, and the true feathers ride the heavenly winds."

"May our vows be eternal, and may we ascend together to the gates of immortality!"

After reciting the poem, Lin Che looked at Wang Lingsu on the bed, then at Liu Qingxue and Su Wanwan beside him, his tone firm and full of strength:

"From this day forward, these four lines and twenty characters will be the generational names for all members of the Lin family!"

It not only represents the continuation of bloodline, but also embodies the essence and core spirit of the Lin family's tradition, as well as our supreme expectation that one day the entire clan will ascend to the gates of immortality!

His gaze finally settled on the peaceful sleeping face of his infant son in his arms, his voice softening, yet containing a deeper love and expectation:

"I will give this child the character 'Qi' and name him Lin Xuanqi."

As the initiator of a new era for my Lin family.

I hope that he can not only inherit the family business of Shattered Star Lake peacefully, but also use it as a foundation to create an unprecedented and even more glorious future for the Lin family!

Liu Qingxue listened quietly, watching her Daoist partner's spirited and radiant appearance, his eyes sparkling like stars.

Even that usually aloof and self-possessed heart couldn't help but be deeply moved by this vibrant energy, unwavering belief, and grand vision.

In a daze, she seemed to really see that painting.

The Lin family has produced many outstanding members who travel side by side with their contracted spirit beasts, passing down their skills from generation to generation. In the end, they will cross the barrier between immortals and mortals and ascend to the magnificent gate of immortality together!
