Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

As the days went by, Lan Ruoxi felt her condition strangely becoming better and better. Every night, she would lay in Hong Weiguo’s arms and mutter, “Why am I bleeding so little now? Why am I feeling more and more energetic? Is it that I have recovered from the illness! Why don’t we go to the hospital to check again?”

However, her words were met with Hong Weiguo’s objection. “That’s not a good idea, doing such checks wouldn’t be good for the child!” Upon hearing this, Lan Ruoxi discarded the notion of going to the hospital for a check. However, she didn’t know that every time Hong Weiguo said this, his heart was like being cut by a knife.

Under Hong Weiguo’s notion of living such days as long as he could, the time finally came to her eighth month in pregnancy.

By now, it was time to go for a checkup again. However, when the doctor brought back the result of the checkup, to Hong Weiguo’s surprise, he realized that both Lan Ruoxi and the baby were fine!

The doctor exclaimed, “Miracle, this is definitely a miracle!”

Very quickly, on the next morning, Lan Ruoxi went into the operation room to do a cesarean delivery.

Before she went in, Hong Weiguo was so scared that his head was full of cold sweat. He was really terrified.

Terrified of losing Lan Ruoxi and also terrified of losing their baby. After all, he would touch and feel their child every day. When he touched Lan Ruoxi’s belly, he could feel their child tossing around, stretching his legs, hiccuping…

Lan Ruoxi understood how Hong Weiguo felt, so she smiled and consoled him, saying, “God knows that it wasn’t easy for me, he will protect me!”

Before she went in, Lan Ruoxi instructed again. “Weiguo, if some accident happens during the surgery, you must definitely ensure the child’s safety first! Definitely!” Hearing she say this, Hong Weiguo cried and trembled as he nodded his head.

The surgery officially started. After conducting anesthesia on Lan Ruoxi, the chief surgeon used the surgical knife and gradually cut open her abdomen. After the womb was opened up, everyone present was astonished: In Lan Ruoxi’s womb was an infant that was totally white as snow!

The chief surgeon carefully took out the infant and realized that he was a male. But his breathing was rushed, his hands and legs were cold, and his cry was weak… He didn’t have time to consider why this happened, the chief surgeon hurriedly let the nurse bring the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit to rescue him. At the same time, the doctor took out the placenta and started sewing up Lan Ruoxi’s belly.

Then, Lan Ruoxi, who was conscious by now, asked, “How is my child?”

The doctor didn’t dare to tell her the truth, but only comforted her and said, “He’s a male. Don’t worry, there isn’t any problem with your child, we have already sent him to the neonatal room!” Lan Ruoxi let out a long breath of relief and then tiredly closed her eyes and rested.

Currently, the neonatal intensive care unit had already started performing an emergency rescue on this “snow infant”! When the medical staff used a needle to extract blood from him in order to do testing, they realized that his blood actually had a light pink color, extremely diluted, like water, slowly flowing out from his pale body.

Very quickly, the results of the testing were out. This male infant had severe anemia and hemorrhagic shock. Instantly, the doctor urgently performed a blood transfusion for him. When bright red blood gradually flowed into his pale body, his face color finally started turning red, and his breathing started becoming gentler.

“The ‘snow infant’ is saved!” Following a loud cry from the infant, the ward was filled with jubilation.

And only till this moment did they found the reason for Lan Ruoxi’s condition’s improvement.

The reason was that during the pregnancy stage, a rare phenomenon in the medical world called “reverse blood transfusion” happened between Lan Ruoxi and the fetus. Under normal circumstances, the fetus would absorb blood from the mother’s body to convert it into the nutrients required for its growth.

Therefore, a pregnant woman might have signs of headache, blurry vision, pale face, and such symptoms of a slight loss of blood. All of these were normal. Because of Lan Ruoxi’s condition of having acute aplastic anemia, therefore, she would definitely experience a huge loss of blood during the early stage of pregnancy!

However, at the later stage of pregnancy, this pair of mother and child defied the norm and did the reverse—the fetus stopped absorbing blood from the mother and instead infused its own red cells into the mother’s veins through the placenta continuously. The scientific name for this was “Fetal-Mother Transfusion Syndrome” and was a very rare thing to happen. If this happened to a normal healthy pregnant woman, hypertension symptoms such as edema and a sudden increase in weight would occur.

However, because of Lan Ruoxi’s anemia, the reverse blood transfusion from the fetus worked as a balance! And because of the selfless act of transfusing blood to the mother, that was why the infant himself was as pale as snow when he was born.

This was a miraculous medical miracle, it was an even more mighty mutual exchanging of life—Lan Ruoxi gave birth to the child risking her own life, but the child already knew to “repay” her even before he came to the world, and instead saved the mother!

And this child, in hopes of him growingly up healthily, Hong Weiguo named him—Hong Dali!

At the same time, it was exactly because of him saving Lan Ruoxi that Hong Weiguo and Lan Ruoxi doted on him so much.

“Weiguo.” Lan Ruoxi laid in Hong Weiguo’s arms and gently said, “This child Dali is so protective of those around him, did he gain this habit since he was in my womb?”

“That’s probably the case.” Hong Weiguo smiled and said, “This little rascal is extremely protective of those around him. He was already like this in the past when his body wasn’t very good. Now it seems to have gotten even more serious, haha.”

“This little rascal, I hope that he won’t be bullied by others outside…”

The image stopped here and ended. Everything went back to normal.

After seeing all of these, the green birds’ eyes as it looked at Hong Dali now were very gentle. It muttered, “This child actually has such a past. He was already so protective of others even before he was born. Maybe, I should let him pass…”

There was a very good saying that said: empires can easily change hands, but a person’s nature wouldn’t change that easily.

This ability to see a person’s past and nature was the green bird’s unique ability.

Countless talented people went to the planet its true self was on to train. But because of their evil nature, they all returned in failure and wouldn’t ever be able to become a black-level Honorary Aristocrat. But today, Hong Dali’s appearance truly showed the green bird.

Actually, there were still many people who were very kind.

“You have passed the third question.” The green bird looked at Hong Dali, and the more it looked at him, the more it liked him. Although this kid might be a prodigal, his other positive points were really too dazzling. He was like the eternal-lasting stars in the Universe, his light was so bright that no one could ignore his presence.

“Huh? I passed already?” Hong Dali looked left and right. He only knew that he was surrounded by a ball of gentle white light just now, but he didn’t know what exactly happened—he had directly fallen asleep, and when he woke up, the green bird said that he had passed…

There’s actually such a good thing!?

“I really passed?” Hong Dali pointed at his nose and asked, “I don’t think I did anything, right?”

“Although you haven’t done it yet,” The green bird smiled and said, “It’s better than what you did. This is the key to the treasure box. Go on, behind me is the last level.”

“Oh…” Hong Dali softly ‘Ohed’, then took the key and, before he opened the treasure box, Hong Dali asked, “Then, green bird, should I call you brother or sister? You are definitely older than me, am I right?”

“Call me sister.” The green bird stretched over its head and nudged Hong Dali’s face. “You are very good indeed, hehe.”

“Then, Sister Green Bird, I shall be going now. Hehe, I will come to see you when I have time!” Hong Dali touched the feathers on Green Bird’s neck. It was very smooth and comfortable to touch.

“Yup, go now.” Green Bird pointed at the treasure box. “The item in the box is not bad, you deserve having it.”

“Okay!”

Opening the box, Hong Dali looked inside and was instantly astonished by what he saw!

Because there was a white-colored egg lying inside!

The egg was about one foot large. The surface was ablaze with a very bland blue-colored flame, but the flame wasn’t hot to the touch. Instead, it felt very warm. Hong Dali hugged the egg in his arms and listened carefully. Then, he smiled and said, “Sister Green Bird, there seems to be a voice inside.”

“Treat my child nicely.” Green Bird gently said, “I believe that you can do this.”

“Yup, that’s for sure!”

…

Outside the Tower of Trials.

20 minutes had already gone by after Hong Dali entered level 29—after all, Green Bird needed some time to observe Hong Dali’s past.

The people spectating were all discussing—

“Hey, that mysterious man has already gone in for 20 plus minutes, right? Do you guys think he can pass this time?”

“That’s hard to say. For this Tower of Trials, level 29 and 30 are gatekeeper Bosses, they will definitely be harder than the previous levels. Even if he passed the previous levels very quickly, it’s hard to say how long he will need to pass the remaining two levels.”

“That’s true. Looks like we might need to wait for quite some time this time.”

…

“Mysterious man, are you able to pass level 29?” Jiang Qianxue’s beautiful eyes stared tightly at the big screen, her heart jumping quickly.

This mysterious man was absolutely impressive. He had already passed 28 levels in such a short amount of time, she really couldn’t imagine what kind of genius it took to be able to achieve this.

Actually, speaking of which, no matter how cold and mature Jiang Qianxue was, she was just an 18-year-old young girl, after all.

She would naturally worship those hero-like people too. And at the same time, because of her noble birth, towards those heroes who could surprise even her, she would worship them even more intensively than normal people.

“Sigh, this child…” Looking at Jiang Qianxue’s expression from afar, Jiang Duxing took in a deep breath.

Being Jiang Qianxue’s father, how could he not be able to tell what she was thinking. This mysterious man was really too strong, he had totally exceeded Jiang Duxing’s expectations. He couldn’t imagine what kind of super-genius it would take to be able to pass 28 levels at once on the first day.

Although he couldn’t imagine this, he could imagine other things—for example, the consequences of a Galaxy Aristocrat falling in love with someone from another race…

In the history of the Galaxy Aristocracy, such a major thing happened before.

It happened about 800 years ago, and the event shooked the entire Milky Way, causing the faces of any person from the Milky Way to change if this event was mentioned!
