Chapter 251: Blood Bodhi
Time passed, and Cheng Feng's days continued to flow quietly amidst busyness and anticipation.
He shuttled between his home, the medical clinic, and the tavern every day; although this three-point-one-line life was monotonous, it became exceptionally fulfilling due to the joy he was about to welcome.
The little life in Yu Niang's womb was like a flower quietly blooming in the spring, giving him unprecedented anticipation and strength.
This is the season of harvest!
With the changing of the seasons, autumn grew deeper, and Yu Niang's belly grew increasingly prominent, making her movements somewhat inconvenient.
Cheng Feng saw it in his eyes and felt it in his heart; he took even more meticulous care of Yu Niang, handling everything from her diet and daily life to soothing her emotions personally.
In his spare time, he would gently stroke Yu Niang's rounded belly, whispering softly about the world outside and his beautiful visions for their future life.
Finally, that day, which was both nerve-wracking and exciting, arrived.
Early in the morning, just as the horizon began to pale, Yu Niang felt an unusual fetal movement, followed by waves of fine, sharp pain.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng immediately became nervous, and the Cheng Mansion quickly began to bustle in an orderly fashion according to the birthing plan prepared beforehand.
He soothed Yu Niang's emotions while sending someone to fetch the most experienced midwife.
Inside the room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on Yu Niang's firm and gentle face. She gripped Cheng Feng's hand tightly, that strength seemingly able to pierce through all fear and unease.
Outside the room, the autumn wind was bleak and fallen leaves flew, yet it failed to affect the warm and firm atmosphere inside in the slightest.
Time passed second by second, and the midwife arrived in time, adding a sense of professionalism and peace of mind to Yu Niang's delivery.
As a crisp cry pierced the night sky, a new life announced his arrival.
A surge of indescribable excitement and happiness welled up in Cheng Feng's heart.
"It's a healthy baby girl." The midwife smiled and handed the child to Cheng Feng; that tiny body and wrinkled face seemed like the most precious treasure in the entire world.
The midwife was considered a regular customer of the Cheng Mansion; after all, the master of the Cheng Mansion had the means!
Over the past two years, six or seven of the Cheng Mansion's children had passed through her hands.
Naturally, she could tell the temperament of Master Cheng: regardless of gender, as long as it could strengthen the family, Master Cheng liked it.
Cheng Feng carefully took the child, skillfully coaxed her for a moment, and then let a maid take the child away.
Outside the window, the autumn wind seemed to soften, gently blowing the wind chimes under the eaves and emitting a crisp, pleasant sound, as if playing a joyful movement for the arrival of this little life.
Inside the room, Cheng Feng gently comforted Yu Niang: "Don't worry, Yu Niang, our daughter will definitely grow up healthy." He gently stroked Yu Niang's hand, his tone full of warmth and care.
A smile gradually appeared on Yu Niang's pale face; she looked at Cheng Feng with gratitude, her heart full of happiness and satisfaction. Although her body was still very weak, she knew that Cheng Feng's love for their mother and daughter would never change.
Cheng Feng continued: "The child will be named Cheng Yu from now on; she will surely be as beautiful and moving as you in the future." Yu Niang nodded slightly, tears sparkling in her eyes; she knew well of Cheng Feng's deep affection for her.
Yu Niang felt incomparably relieved; she knew that Cheng Feng would not be dissatisfied because their child was a girl. However, she also felt some self-reproach, feeling that she had failed to give birth to a boy for the Cheng family. But Cheng Feng's comfort made her let go of these concerns, and she believed their family would continue to be happy.
Cheng Feng stayed quietly by Yu Niang's side until she fell into a deep sleep. He gently covered her with the quilt and then left the room. At this moment, his heart was full of anticipation and confidence for the future.
Cheng Feng knew clearly that his current Triple Blessing Device only applied to three women: Xu Miao, Yu Niang, and the Senior Martial Sister. Now, he needed to wait for Yu Niang to recover her vitality before he could set foot on the path of rapidly improving his strength again.
Cheng Feng had a clear self-awareness; he understood that his foundation lay in the More Children More Blessings talent. As long as he didn't do anything stupid, kept his mindset stable, and didn't take excessive risks, his later development would be very considerable.
When he felt the Lucky Bag points on his Panmian, Cheng Feng went to the study without hesitation and clicked on the Lucky Bag with his mind. As the Lucky Bag opened, he looked forward to the surprises and opportunities it might contain.
He stood in the center of the study, his eyes fixed on the flashing Lucky Bag icon on the virtual Panmian in front of him, his heart full of anticipation and a trace of imperceptible nervousness.
As Cheng Feng clicked in his mind, the atmosphere in the study became subtle once again.
"Since the system has given me such a talent, then every opening of the Lucky Bag could be an important boost on my path forward. I hope for something powerful this time," Cheng Feng thought to himself, then took a deep breath and gently touched the Lucky Bag icon with his mind.
The Lucky Bag on the Panmian suddenly expanded, quickly occupying the entire panel, and then began to rotate clockwise. Each circle was accompanied by a faint ripple that quietly permeated the air.
"Ding—!" The familiar notification sound rang out again, crisp and pleasant, as if telling people that something important was about to happen. As the sound faded, the Lucky Bag slowly opened, and a dazzling light instantly filled the entire panel.
Cheng Feng silently watched the card in his hand, his heart full of anticipation and curiosity. The card depicted a fruit like red jade, crystal clear and emitting an alluring luster.
According to the system's introduction, this fruit was named Sacred Fruit Blood Bodhi, which grew after the blood of a Fire Qilin dripped onto the ground and was nourished by a special environment. It had two main effects: first, it could heal injuries and illnesses, and second, it could increase cultivation.
In the original work, there was once a long-haired man surnamed Nie who encountered danger in Lingyun Cave, was seriously injured, and was almost on the verge of death. However, fortunately, he accidentally discovered the Blood Bodhi and ate it. The magical effect of the Blood Bodhi not only healed his injuries but also greatly increased his cultivation.
At this moment, Cheng Feng looked at the Blood Bodhi in his hand, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. The Lucky Bag was truly all-encompassing, even allowing him to obtain such a precious item as Qilin blood.
This made him full of more anticipation and confidence for future Lucky Bags. After all, with such a powerful treasure, his strength would be greatly improved.
He carefully put the card away, his mind already beginning to calculate how to maximize its utility.
At the same time, he also strengthened his belief: as long as he kept his mindset stable, remained neither arrogant nor rash, and made reasonable use of his talents and resources, the road ahead would surely become wider and wider.
When he left the study, Cheng Feng's steps seemed exceptionally light, his heart full of infinite longing and confidence for the future.
