Chapter 1486 - 433: Yaoyao Really, Really Can’t Bear to Leave You All (6k)

Suddenly, Zhou Qing’s eyes lit up: "That’s right, Wood Attribute Spirit Stones!"

He remembered that Lady Li used Wood Attribute Spirit Stones during childbirth, and the Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi is the best at nourishing Fetal Essence.

Zhou Qing hurriedly poured out all the Wood Attribute Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag, including a few Grinding Disc-sized raw stones obtained from the void.

The emerald green light instantly illuminated the entire cave, and the rich aura of life permeated the air.

Without any hesitation, he also took out a small Gathering Spirit Array Disc, originally prepared as an energy reserve for the Extreme Dao Weapon, the Eternal Sin Fire Mirror.

As the Array Disc was activated, countless emerald green Spiritual Silk Threads were drawn from the Spirit Stones, weaving into a huge network of light in the air.

The rich Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi transformed into specks of fluorescence, gently falling onto Shen Hanyi.

"Hang in there!" Zhou Qing tightly held Shen Hanyi’s icy hand, injecting his freshly recovered Spiritual Power into her without reservation.

He could feel her meridians, like a dried-up riverbed, greedily absorbing this Spiritual Power.

"Am... am I going to die..." Shen Hanyi weakly opened her eyes, fear shining in her pupils as never before.

She gripped Zhou Qing’s hand tightly, her nails almost digging deeply into his skin.

Zhou Qing held her hand with one of his own, and gently brushed aside the hair soaked in sweat from her forehead with the other.

He forced himself to stay calm, his voice as soft as if he was afraid of disturbing something: "How is that possible?"

"According to Yaoyao, in the future, I will become a Fifth-level Array Master capable of condensing fifty thousand Spirit Seals, and I even found the broken mirror surface of an Extreme Dao Weapon in the Black Snow Mountain."

At this point, he shook his head with a bitter smile: "But now, I’m still just a Fourth-level Array Master, and even Yaoyao has to be born prematurely."

His voice suddenly choked up: "You wouldn’t really think that I can condense another twenty thousand Spirit Seals within the next three years, would you?"

Zhou Qing gently held Shen Hanyi’s trembling hand: "This means... we’ve already changed some things..."

Upon hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Shen Hanyi, whose lips were already pale, had bitten down until they were bleeding profusely.

A streak of crimson blood trickled down her tense jaw, leaving a stark mark on her snow-white neck.

Her brow knitted tightly together, her pupils trembled: "I’m... not afraid of dying..."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz: "I’m afraid I won’t be able to be with you... more afraid of Yaoyao in the future going through that kind of life again..."

"Uh..." Another wave of intense pain came, a broken whimper escaping from Shen Hanyi’s throat.

Zhou Qing leaned down, placed a gentle kiss on her sweat-dampened forehead, his voice tender yet firm: "You fool, didn’t I tell you? We’ve already changed some things."

"We’ll watch Yaoyao grow up together, see her get married, and see her become someone greater than us..."

Zhou Qing’s voice slightly trembled, yet held an undeniable firmness, "So you have to hang on, we still have so many promises unfulfilled."

Shen Hanyi gazed at Zhou Qing’s face, which was so close, a glimmer of light flickered in her eyes, and she softly said "Hmm."

Right at this moment, she suddenly stiffened, her hands gripping the clothes beneath her tightly, and let out a heart-wrenching cry: "It’s... coming..."

The Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi in the cave suddenly fluctuated violently, and the light emitted by the Spirit Gathering Array flickered.

"Breathe! Breathe with me!" Zhou Qing clumsily supported her, his voice carrying an unprecedented panic.

Why must it be now?

Why must it be when both are severely injured?

Zhou Qing appeared calm on the surface but was more frantic than anyone else.

Under normal circumstances, with his skill as a Fourth-level Array Master, he could set up a more exquisite Spirit Gathering Array.

If he weren’t injured, his Spiritual Power reserves would be enough to support more prolonged transfer.

But now, he could only watch as Hanyi’s complexion grew ever paler.

"Ah—" Shen Hanyi let out another heart-wrenching scream, her body arching suddenly, her back almost lifting off the ground.

Zhou Qing quickly supported her with his body, clearly feeling every muscle in her body convulsing.

"I’m here, I’m here, hang on, just a little longer..." Zhou Qing’s voice was low and trembling, his arms tightly surrounding her shaking body.

His chin rested on her sweat-dampened hair, his lips gently touching her cold earlobe, "Little Yaoyao is about to meet us..."

...

Meanwhile, within an estate in the Inner Domain!

In a quiet room, the Three-Color Restriction’s light shield covered the bed like a curtain of water, isolating everything from the outside world.

Lu Yaoyao slept peacefully within, her long eyelashes casting faint shadows on her cheeks.

Suddenly, her body trembled slightly, and she began to become transparent.

"Hmm..."

Lu Yaoyao opened her eyes in confusion, instinctively clutched her pounding heart, and sat up in shock.

She looked around, the familiar room was empty.

"Dad? Mom?"

Her voice echoed in the room, but there was no answer.

She hurriedly lifted the comforter to get out of bed, but her legs gave way the moment they touched the ground.

Then, before her eyes, her own legs turned transparent and then completely disappeared.

In just a breath’s time, they mysteriously solidified again.

"What is this..."

Only then did she notice the Three-Color Restriction light circulating around the bed, her heart racing with panic.

Stumbling to stand, she just managed to hold onto the edge of the table when her right arm mysteriously flickered and disappeared, causing her to stagger.

"Dad! Mom—"

She raised her voice to shout, the end of her voice carrying a noticeable sob.

But in the empty room, only the faint hum of the Three-Color Restriction responded to her.
