Chapter 493: Nan Qinghuan Gives Birth

She suddenly clutched her belly, her face contorted in pain, and Ying, seeing this, said "This is serious," and immediately lifted her, "Qinghuan, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'll take you back right now, witch, come quickly."

"Oh dear, isn't that the Town Mayor? What's wrong?"

"Could it be that Oumu is about to give birth?"

That day, the entire Small Town learned that Nan Qinghuan was about to give birth; everyone was excited, of course also worried for her, because Nan Qinghuan's constitution was too weak, and she was carrying twins—twins; many women in the Tribe could not deliver, and ultimately neither the adults nor the children were saved.

So, on the day Nan Qinghuan gave birth, many people's hearts were stirred.

Naturally it also moved Li Xiang and Duo Luo, Jiguang and Rongdi.

After school they hurried toward the Tulou; before even reaching its entrance they heard Nan Qinghuan's anguished cries, and the listeners felt great anxiety.

Jiguang rushed into that house; outside, the ancestors and A Mu were pacing back and forth, all of them worried about Nan Qinghuan and the child.

"A Mu, what's happening?"

Jiguang, after class, heard that Nan Qinghuan was about to give birth; this was serious, so she hurried here but was blocked by people, only able to hear Nan Qinghuan's anguished cries from inside.

"Oh dear, I don't know either; the witch has been inside for a long time, why hasn't she come out? I'm so anxious hearing this; Qinghuan's condition… could it be…"

"It won't be, I'll go in and look; Youchao Xuan, let's go together."

The two had already discussed it; it was Jiguang who taught him that if she couldn't deliver they'd do a C-Section. Though they didn't know how Jiguang knew this, Youchao Xuan believed she wouldn't harm Nan Qinghuan, so… "Hey, you can't go in, the witch is performing a ritual inside, you must not go."

"What, performing a ritual? At this time, what kind of ritual is this? You really are hopelessly superstitious. Youchao Xuan, come with me."

"Jiguang, no, you can't be reckless; you know nothing, why would you go in?"

Rongdi also blocked Jiguang; he didn't know his woman could deliver, so he was naturally afraid she'd cause trouble, thinking that with the witch inside nothing bad would happen.

Jiguang was very anxious, about to say something, when the witch inside brought out a basin of bright red blood and casually poured it onto the floor.

Instantly, Jiguang's eyes became dazed.

Bad, it's a difficult birth!

It must be!

"Old witch, stop tormenting her; I can save them."

Jiguang volunteered bravely, but the old witch despised him, "What do you know? I am the most powerful witch. Rest assured, I have already prayed to the Heavenly God; the Heavenly God will bestow blessings, nothing will happen."

"Jiguang, Jiguang."

Nan Qinghuan's cries came from inside, and Jiguang could wait no longer, "Youchao Xuan, go in."

Youchao Xuan also feared Nan Qinghuan might die from delay, hurriedly squeezed in with them; after entering, Jiguang was stunned, as the witch was drawing talismans on the belly instead of delivering!

Damn, isn't this a blatant disregard for life? Ying crouched there, continuously gripping Nan Qinghuan's hand, "Qinghuan, don't be afraid, it'll be over soon."

Nan Qinghuan screamed at the top of her lungs in pain, the pain was killing her!

"Get this old witch out; I want Jiguang and Youchao Xuan to stay, let her go out, Ying, I will die."

Ying clearly believed the witch's words; he didn't trust that Jiguang could deliver Nan Qinghuan.

"She doesn't understand. Qinghuan, stop fussing, listen to me, it will work."

"Let them come, Ying, I'm in great pain, I beg you."

Nan Qinghuan hadn't expected this man, at the crucial moment, to still place his hope in the deity; how can that be? Absolutely not!

Jiguang stepped forward, ready to pull off Nan Qinghuan's skirt, "Don't even think about it; if you do, she and your child will both die inside the womb. Youchao Xuan, go prepare hot water and a clean knife, quickly, Rongdi, take this old witch out, Ying, you also go out."

Jiguang began assigning tasks, and Nan Qinghuan shoved Ying away, "You leave, leave right now."

She was disappointed, wondering why he still persisted in the witch's prayer to the gods at this moment. Ying seemed to realize he was being too stubborn; he immediately stood, gave the witch a cold glance, "Out, hand this place over to Jiguang and Youchao Xuan."

"Qinghuan, I know you resent me, but the only one I can trust is her."

Yes, he didn't trust Jiguang; Youchao Xuan was trustworthy, but he was only a Shaman Healer and had never delivered anyone, so his concerns were understandable. The witch, although using prayers to the gods, had previously delivered many women, so… Nan Qinghuan now didn't want to see him at all; she couldn't understand why he wouldn't trust Jiguang, that the witch only prayed to the gods—could she give birth herself? Soon, Ying left, the sounds from inside the house grew quieter, the witch, after being taken out, was seized, and Dashan glared at her furiously.

"What's wrong with you, witch? Why hasn't the Goddess given birth yet?"

The witch suddenly knelt, then took a Sea Conch and spun it on the ground once; suddenly she looked at the sky in terror, the sky had turned black, and a bright moon hung high among the clouds.

Instantaneously, she shouted, "Bad, the Disaster Star has descended; this child is a Disaster Star!"

As soon as she spoke, the sky roared with thunder, a crack sounded, and after the lightning flashed, the tribespeople were terrified and knelt down one after another.

"The Heavenly God is angry, angry indeed."

The Heavenly God is angry!

Ying then realized how foolish he had been; how could he have believed the old witch's words, nearly putting Qinghuan in danger. He was furious, almost lifting the old witch just as before!

He glared viciously at the old witch, "Heavenly God, so you are a liar; how could my child be a Disaster Star? Bring someone!"

Dashan and Ji Lei strode forward, "Ying."

"Grab that old witch and hang her on a tree."

"No, Ying, she is the most powerful witch in Jiuzhou; you cannot…"

A Mu stopped Ying in one swift move; in her view, the Heavenly God's punishment was real.

"A Mu, you're crazy; she said our child is a Disaster Star."

"Ying's A Mu, don't be fooled by this witch; Qinghuan is a Goddess, how could she bear a Disaster Star child? I, Rongdi, can testify for her; her child is not a Disaster Star, Ying's child must be the most adorable child in Jiuzhou."

"Exactly, I Ge also don't believe it."

Yao and Youchao Ji also came forward, and Duo Luo stepped out of the crowd; although Nan Qinghuan's cries had lessened, she was still very worried, and upon hearing this, she and her husband Li Xiang arrived.

"I also don't believe it. I, Duo Luo, was once the High Priest of the Na Shan Tribe; my Divination of the constellations had already determined that Ying's child is not a Disaster Star but a Fortune Star. You witch, stop spouting nonsense here. Tell me, who made you say that? If you don't speak, I won't spare you."
