“…?” Xiao Yunhan.
The women, still filled with worry, heard a series of hurried yet familiar footsteps and knew that Chu Mingkong had emerged from the barrier.
When Yuehe the cat saw Chu Mingkong, she let go of Shangguan Rong's pink arm and, unusually, asked him for a hug. However, Chu Mingkong didn't even turn his head and rushed into Xiao Zhi's room, bypassing her.
The baby's eyes reddened, her lips pouted, and she hugged Shangguan Rong tightly again, looking both angry and on the verge of tears.
"Waaaaah, I don't want Daddy anymore!"
Seeing this, Gu Jungui was both happy and reproachful to Chu Mingkong. At least he could have held the cat for a bit; it wouldn't have taken that long.
"Alright, alright, as long as everyone's safe and sound, let Mingkong take his time to comfort the cat..."
The topic, which had lasted for more than ten days, came to an end, and the women's attention returned to the room, eagerly and nervously awaiting what would happen inside.
Zuo Qiuchi and the others walked into the crowd. She had just gotten a more accurate result from Yun Nongyu, and now she was acting as a charlatan:
"I've done some calculations, and the Princess of Chu has given birth to another baby girl with exceptional talent, whose abilities are no less than those of Yunhan."
Feng Ying knew Zuo Qiuchi's background; how could she possibly understand these mysterious celestial phenomena? She must have heard it from Yun Nongyu. But Feng Ying still joked:
"Really? Don't let a fire baby pop out. Otherwise, your face, which has been sleeping for ten days, will be slapped in the face."
Zuo Qiuchi wasn't intimidated at all. She pointed to her face and said:
"Come on, shoot here!"
"I'll take charge of the fight," Zuo Donglu volunteered, worried that others might not be able to handle it.
"Donglu, you...you're up to no good, aren't you!" Zuo Qiuchi immediately pinched his sister's cheek.
Soon, a clear and loud baby cry came from the inner room.
A chill swept through the air, and snowflakes fell like goose down.
Chapter 179 In the Delivery Room
Newborn babies have very poor control over their strength and cannot control their innate talents, which can lead to unusual phenomena.
The fact that the baby was born with an icy and snowy appearance basically indicates that the baby has extraordinary talent. In a sense, this baby is really a sister of Yunhan.
Chu Mingkong truly admired Zhi'er's health. Once could be a coincidence, but twice was quite telling.
However, Chu Mingkong's focus on the baby's talent did not linger in his mind for long. He sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and gently embraced Xiao Zhi.
"My little pheasant, I'm so sorry I couldn't be by your side during the last few days of your labor!"
"What are you saying? Mingkong, you must have had a reason to do this. Besides, you arrived at the last minute. I thought it was a hallucination."
Xiao Zhi had just given birth, and her face was pale. Her elegant and noble beauty looked haggard, which made Chu Mingkong feel sorry for her. Fortunately, she was slowly recovering, and her lips had regained their rosy color.
The newborn baby, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lay beside Xiao Zhi, the swaddling clothes frosted over.
The baby sheep's skin was still wrinkled half an hour after birth, because it had been soaking in amniotic fluid.
In just a short while, she had become fair and tender, just like Little Gugu was back then.
When the midwife saw the baby, she was almost more excited than the family. This was all thanks to the baby's good fortune. In the midwifery profession, there's a saying about "luck," and a good midwife can deliver a baby with exceptional talent. The birth of the baby undoubtedly added a brilliant stroke to her record.
To be born with extraordinary signs is beyond the realm of ordinary "gifted" individuals.
However, the delivery room has now quieted down, with only a few female relatives present, and the privileged babies are also here to visit their newly "arrived" little sisters.
"Quick, give Meimei a hug!" Xiao Zhi urged, her expression slightly reproachful, "You haven't hugged Meimei since you came in..."
"I'm just worried about you, my little pheasant. You're fine now, it's never too late to hold you, but you're still weak after giving birth, so I should take extra care of you."
After Chu Mingkong finished explaining, he still had to hug the little girl. He gently cradled her kitten-like body in his arms, not daring to make any big movements to kiss or rub her.
He was genuinely concerned about his mother's baby, but he was still incredibly excited about the arrival of the little lamb.
In a sense, this should be considered the "crystallization" of filial piety after it has been purified and corrupted to the extreme.
Chu Mingkong scrutinized the little girl; her chubby little face was tender and plump. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about physiognomy. Apart from being able to detect the kinship inheritance in her bloodline, he couldn't tell how the little girl's face would grow in the future.
No matter how closely he looks at the baby, he can't achieve the ability of some people to "predict what a baby will look like when they grow up just by looking at their face," but the baby's cuteness is still undeniable.
He wanted to rub his head against the baby's little face several times, but he managed to control the urge.
Yun Nongyu carried Xiao Gugu over, and she raised her slender, jade-like hand. A soft glow rose from her palm, outlining the features of a beautiful young girl.
It might be a bit inappropriate to say it like she was born from Yun Han, but this girl does indeed bear a striking resemblance to Yun Han...
"Nongyu, is this what Meimei will look like in the future? Is this the evolved power of your divination abilities?"
Chu Mingkong's voice attracted the attention of Gu Jungui and the others. They all wanted to know what the babies would look like in the future, but not the cats.
Everyone already knows.
Yun Nongyu explained with great certainty:
"The portrait isn't entirely accurate, but it's not too far off; it's about 70% similar."
I see. That explains why she resembles Yunhan. They're very similar, since they both came from the same mother, so it's normal for them to look alike.
But this further demonstrates the strength of Xiao Zhi's genes.
"Nongyu, why don't you take a look at Xiaogugu too?" Aunt Gu said.
As Xiao Zhi watched the lively scene in the room, a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face. She noticed a large baby looking depressed.
"Kitty, come here to your mother. What's wrong? You look unhappy."
The cat had been clinging to Shangguan Rong's arm, but upon hearing Xiao Zhi's words, it voluntarily crawled into her bedding, vying for the little lamb's sleeping spot.
The young woman hugged the plump and beautiful Xiao Zhi tightly, pressing her face against hers with a pitiful expression, without saying a word.
Gu Jun Gui had taken care of the cat for a long time and knew her personality pretty well. At this moment, she gently poked Chu Ming Kong's nose, carefully snatched the kitten from his arms, and looked at him reproachfully:
"Why didn't you hug the cat just now? Hurry up and go comfort her, or the little girl will really get angry!"
Chu Mingkong walked over, bent down to look at his eldest daughter, Maomao, to see her expression. Maomao turned her face away, burying her face completely in Xiao Zhi's arms, and refused to look at Chu Mingkong.
Xiao Zhi smiled helplessly, but fearing the cat might misunderstand, she only smiled without making a sound. She patted the young woman's back and scolded Chu Mingkong reproachfully:
Group Walk 8 Umbrella Bell Flow Private 9th Phase
"Quickly soothe the cat. What if this incident causes a rift between the cat and the sheep later?"
Chu Mingkong might have often teased the cat in a bad way in the past, but this time he didn't have any bad intentions. He was simply focused on Xiao Zhi and didn't notice anything else.
The time he spent on this trip to the Heavenly Realm unexpectedly exceeded his expectations, and upon his return, he heard the news that he was about to give birth.
It's really bad if the man isn't there for his wife during childbirth, a crucial time for her.
In his haste, he neglected the cat. He was afraid he was too late, but Xiao Zhi only arrived after giving birth to the kittens.
"Kitty, it was Daddy's fault. I originally planned to come back earlier so I would have plenty of time to wait for your new little sister to be born, but I came back late for some reason. I got anxious as soon as I heard that the sheep were about to be born."
How about I take you out for something delicious later?
Chu Mingkong coaxed the cat several times, then used his weakness to his advantage, and finally managed to cheer it up.
He reached out to stroke the cat's face, but the big baby didn't turn its face away and refuse to let him touch it.
"Come here, let Daddy hold you. I haven't seen Kitty for so many days, I miss her so much~" Chu Mingkong reached out and hooked his arm around the baby's body. Seeing that she didn't resist, he picked her up.
He wanted to stay a little longer to keep Xiao Zhi company, but Xiao Zhi said:
"Mingkong, take the cat to play for a while. It's good that you're safe and sound now. You'll have plenty of time to spend with Meimei later. She can't walk and she won't disappear. Don't let anything urgent happen and delay the cat's plans."
Chu Mingkong hesitated, but still chose to listen to Zhi'er Baobao's words:
"Okay, then I'll take the cat for a walk."
Chapter 180 I, Yuehe Cat, also have principles.
Meimei is still too young to participate in the team-building activities for the daughters' group.
Chu Mingkong carried all the babies back to his room and gave them a huge pile of snacks.
With food, the cat was comfortable and happy. She leaned against Chu Mingkong's chest, her slender hands never stopping as she ate dried fruit.
As its body grew larger, its hands also grew much bigger, able to hold a lot of dried fruit in one go. When the cat's mouth got dry from eating, it would ask for some chilled milk to quench its thirst.
How delightful!
Chu Mingkong watched the girl eat non-stop and felt fortunate that her cultivator's physique was a great help; otherwise, she would have become a fat orange cat sooner or later.
"Could you give some to your sisters too?"
Upon hearing this, the cat picked out a few dried fruits and fed them to Jiao'er, then picked up Xiao Gugu and fed her fruit-flavored milk with a spoon.
The milk was chilled, so the cat used its fire spirit energy to warm it up before feeding it to its younger sister. It seems that it had been influenced by Aunt Gu and the others and had learned a lot about taking care of its younger sister.
Chu Mingkong did not believe that taking care of others was a natural, innate skill, and that one had to learn to care gradually, and then learn the right way to care.
Cats may be greedy, but it's good that they don't guard their food; otherwise, there would be many small conflicts.
Chu Mingkong watched the little ones happily eating. Little Gugu couldn't eat yet and could only watch longingly, but in a little over a year, she would be able to sit in a row among her older sisters.
Just imagining a bunch of little ones gathered together eating snacks in the future makes me smile like a proud aunt.
"Are you still angry?" Chu Mingkong took a French fry and stuffed it into the cat's mouth.
"There's still a little," she said honestly.
But despite her anger, the cat had no grudge against food, and she still ate the fries. She even swallowed them in big gulps, afraid that Chu Mingkong would take them back if he heard her say that, which would be a loss.
These are all valuable experiences she accumulated through her battles of wits and courage with Chu Mingkong. If she hadn't suffered so many losses, Da Maomao wouldn't be so cunning now.
The lessons learned, learned through blood and sweat, are too numerous to recount.
"now what?"
While asking questions, Chu Mingkong also took out a basket of red rice sausages and crystal shrimp dumplings.
The cat was eating fries when it saw the unfamiliar snack and immediately tried it. The freshness of the ingredients blossomed on its taste buds, from soft and tender to chewy, and finally a bit crispy, with multiple layers of texture unfolding step by step.
The big baby nodded in agreement:
"I'm not angry anymore. Jiao'er and Gugu want to eat this too."
The subtext of this statement is that one person isn't enough; she needs to order several more baskets.
