Chapter 991 Delivery
“I will go feed some of these to the women so they can get stronger,” Anya said. “Is there anything else you can help them with?”
Ning looked at them. “Go ahead and do what you want to. I will need to consult the system a little before I do anything else,” he said.
“Okay,” Anya said and went to feed the cores to the women who were extremely late and thus needed to be prioritized with the cores.
The woman that was pregnant the longest was a lady who had turned into a swordfish. She had the outer physique of a swordfish, including gills and a sharp point on her head, but her interior was still that of a mammal.
She was resting as a lot of her energy was drained into her child, trying to force it to cultivate even faster so that when she did deliver it, it was already a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
“How are you doing, Gina?” Anya said softly as she swam close to the girl.
“Sister Anya? Hi,” the woman said weakly. She barely had any strength to talk at all.
“Here, I’ve brought you something,” Anya said and pulled out one of the beast cores. “This is a beast core from a High Immortal beast. Do you think you can handle it?”
The woman’s body found some strength hidden in her when she heard that. “High Immortal? Really? Our men killed such a strong beast?”
“Not exactly, but you don’t have to worry about that,” Anya said. “Eat this.” She fed the woman the beast core, which the woman ate gratefully.
She definitely needed the added energy that came with eating a beast core and her child definitely needed that. Not only that, but there was also the case that the core was in fact very good and would help her a ton.
The woman ate the core happily as the energy flew into her and her child. The Qi in the core was indeed a lot and it took some time for both of them to fully consume it all.
However, when she did finally consume it, something happened. She felt something.
“Oh no!” the woman said.
“Gina, are you alright?” Anya said.
“Sister Anya… I think… I think my water just broke,” she said.
Anya’s eyes went wide. “What? Are you sure?” she asked, but even she could check it and it was correct.
The woman was indeed ready to give birth. The energy from the core she had just eaten was the final push her child needed to come into this world.
“I… I don’t think he’s strong enough,” the woman said with a worried face. “Sister Anya, he… he will die. Please do something. Stop it!”
Anya paled a little. “I… I can’t stop it,” she said.
“No, you have to do something. Please,” Gina started crying.
Anya’s eyes looked around searching for something until she saw her master coming towards her. “Master! S-s-she is giving birth, can you stop it?” she asked.
“No, I cannot,” Ning said. “Rather, I will not.”
“What? Why not?” Anya asked.
Ning looked at the woman and felt the cultivation base of the unborn boy inside her womb. It was a Nascent Soul cultivation base. The child would not survive at all.
“Turn into your human form,” Ning told the woman.
“Huh? What?” Gina looked around confused and tried to look towards Anya to find some answer, but even Anya didn’t know what was going on.𝗇𝑂𝑽𝗲𝐋𝓃𝗲xt.𝒞𝐎𝓂
“Master, what are you doing?” she asked.
“Saving her baby,” Ning said. “Change into your human form.”
The woman still didn’t know what to do at all. Anya looked at her master for a second and back at the woman. “Do what he says. He will save you and your child for sure,” Anya said with a confidence that seemed unfounded but was somehow there.
With no other choice, the woman nodded. Slowly, the woman’s swordfish body changes into that of a human with a bulging stomach.
Ning grabbed Anya’s hand and then the woman’s hand. In the next moment, they vanished.
The three of them appeared on top of a remote island, one of the few ones on the planet that had any sort of vegetation on it.
Ning laid the woman down on the grass and used his sense to check that the baby was indeed ready to come out.
The child was long overdue.
However, there was another problem now. “The child is too big to come out normally,” he said.
Since the child was nearly 2 years late, he was the size of a 2-year-old child as well. It was a miracle that the woman’s womb wasn’t even bigger than it already was.
“What do we do now?” Anya asked.
“Nothing fancy,” Ning said and pulled out a new blanket before laying it below the woman. “I will have to do this quickly.”
He had to take the baby out without hurting the woman. He closed his eyes and placed his hand on the woman’s body. He felt the baby inside and the umbilical cord that was attaching it to the mother.
He slowly planned what to do next and opened his eyes. The moment he did, a small Spear Qi formed inside the woman’s womb that instantly cut the umbilical cord in two.
At the same time, he used his teleportation power to teleport himself and the mother a meter to the left.
The moment he appeared elsewhere, time slowed down for him as he looked to his right and slowly reached out his hand.
The baby that had been inside the woman was out now as he had been left behind during the teleportation. Ning caught him and put him on a blanket before handing him to Anya.
“Make him breathe,” he said.
Anya quickly did what she was used to to make the child breathe by clearing his nose and his chest. A moment later, the child started crying.
Ning looked at the woman who didn’t know what had just happened. “There is still a lot inside you that needs to be pushed out, so take your time. In the meantime, look, it’s your son.”
