Time flowed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost time for Shen Wanzhou to give birth after nine months of pregnancy. In less than a month, she would be welcoming her little ones into the world.
During these past few months, Shen Wanzhou and the Shen Family had enjoyed endless pampering. Her round belly was the family's treasure. Sister-in-law Yeh Jing-Shu, gentle and caring, always found ways to prepare delicious meals for Shen Wanzhou, sending delicacies like bird's nest and shark fin soup to her room in a steady stream.
Her other sister-in-law, Bai Qianyin, was bold and outspoken but had a heart of gold. While teasing Shen Wanzhou about her size, saying she might be giving birth to a Nezha, she was busy sewing little clothes for the baby—tiny vests and tiger-head shoes, each adorned with exquisite embroidery that showed her thoughtfulness.
"Shen Wanzhou, your belly is truly enormous! When I was pregnant with Yun'er, I never looked this big," Yeh Jing-Shu said as she gently stroked Shen Wanzhou's belly, her tone filled with envy. "It must be twins; perhaps one of each gender!"
"If it really is one boy and one girl, that would be a blessing for our Shen Family!" Bai Qianyin chimed in proudly. "Once the babies are born, those from the Wuding Marquisate will surely regret their actions!"
In the entire capital city, there were lines of people hoping for twins; how could they dare dismiss our Shen Wanzhou without considering their own worth?
Listening to her sisters-in-law's chatter filled Shen Wanzhou with warmth and anticipation. She caressed her belly, feeling the presence of two little lives inside her, silently praying for their safe and healthy arrival.
At that moment, inside Shen Wanzhou's womb, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were no longer the sleepy little beings they once were.
"What do you think it’s like outside Mom’s belly? Why does it feel like someone is always touching us?" Shen Qingyue asked curiously. Ever since she became aware of the outside world, she was filled with wonder about everything beyond.
"I don’t know, but it must be pretty boring," Chen Li replied calmly. Over the past few months, he had been diligently practicing the Dragon Tiger Jade Liquid Scripture and had accumulated quite a bit of Vital Energy within him. Once they were born, he would be ready to begin training in more advanced techniques.
Shen Qingyue's voice carried a hint of worry. "Hey, I heard that being born as a human child consumes a lot of life force. If things go wrong, it could mean trouble for both of us! Do you think our Scumbag Dad might try to harm us?"
At this, Chen Li felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but feel anxious. Chen Yuantu had sought to marry their mother for power and status but had kicked her aside once he gained fame and strength; he even tried to find ways to eliminate them back then.
Thinking of this made Chen Li clench his tiny fists. Even though they were currently in Grandfather's home, receiving love and care, he couldn't shake off the uncertainty about whether someone like Scumbag Dad would secretly harm them! After all, he had nearly killed them just to seize their mother's dowry.
Once they were born, their presence would no longer be concealed by their mother; if their energy leaked out at that moment, who knew what kind of trouble Chen Yuantu might stir up?
No! I need to come up with a plan; I absolutely cannot let Mom or my sister come to harm!
Just then, Yeh Jing-Shu sighed with concern. "Shen Wanzhou, childbirth is extremely taxing on one's life force. Having twins makes it even more perilous. We don’t have any valuable herbs or elixirs left at home; our Silver Coins are nearly depleted."
Shen Wanzhou's voice sounded somewhat guilty. "Sister-in-law, it's all my fault."
"What are you thinking? I meant to say not to worry about lacking energy during childbirth. Your father has taken your brother and the others to the Azure Mountain Range; he said they must hunt some High-Level Monsters this time to bring back some high-grade Vitality Pills for you."
Shen Wanzhou nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, once I give birth, I will definitely work hard to earn Silver Coins to support our household! I know this time has been tough for you all!"
The Azure Mountain Range, located on the northwestern edge of the Great Zhou Dynasty, stretched for tens of thousands of miles, teeming with dangerous beasts and lurking threats. At this moment, Shen Zhentian and his companions were returning home, laden with the spoils of their hunt.
"Dad, the three-tier Ironhide Rhinoceros we hunted this time is enough for Third Sister! You can rest easy now, right?" Shen Yunlei said cheerfully as he carried the massive rhinoceros horn.
Shen Zhentian nodded, stroking his beard. "Yes, this Ironhide Rhinoceros is a treasure trove; its blood is especially nourishing. It’s perfect for refining Vitality Pills! Once we return, we must arrange for the pills to be made before Shen Wanzhou gives birth!"
Just as everyone was in high spirits and preparing to head home, two dark figures flashed by in the distance, accompanied by a chilling laughter.
"Heh heh, the Shen Family really is lucky to have hunted a three-tier Ironhide Rhinoceros. What a pity..."
The two figures approached slowly, revealing themselves before Shen Zhentian and the others. Dressed in black tight-fitting outfits, their faces were pale and their eyes cold, exuding an unsettling aura.
"Who are you? How dare you block our way!" Shen Yunlei stepped forward and demanded sternly.
One of them sneered and replied, "Why waste words on someone about to die? We come on the orders of the lady to take the Ironhide Rhinoceros and your lives!"
"Lady? What lady?" A chill ran down Shen Zhentian's spine as an ominous premonition surged within him.
The other figure said ominously, "Heh heh, what lady? You'll find out when you reach hell and ask Yama!"
The lady has ordered that all sources of income for the Shen Family must be cut off so that when Shen Wanzhou gives birth, she will have no resources to support her—ensuring that her twins die in her womb! If they let the Shen Family take this three-tier beast home, they would have to return with their heads!
Shen Zhentian's expression darkened; his eyes widened in fury as if flames were about to burst forth from them. "You dare openly ambush a general who protects his home and country? Do you think a general is easy prey?!"
As his words fell, an overwhelming aura erupted from him like a slumbering lion finally awakening to reveal its sharp fangs! The intruders had malicious intent; they aimed to stop him from bringing the beast back to replenish Shen Wanzhou's strength for a smooth delivery—truly wicked intentions!
He was a powerful Innate Level Nine warrior; even if it cost him his life, he would drive these scoundrels away!
The two figures exchanged cold laughs, seemingly unfazed. One arrogantly said, "A mere Innate Level Nine dares to be so confident?"
As soon as he finished speaking, both released their own formidable auras.
Two violent waves of energy surged forth from within them, sweeping across the world like awakening dragons!
Innate Ninefold!
Shen Zhentian's pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression became incredibly grave.
