The unresponsive little fellow finally moved. He tightened his small fists, opened his tiny mouth, and let out a loud cry—
This cry was so piercing that it startled Shangguan Qing and Tang Yueshan to the point where their hairs stood on end!
Wasn't it supposed to be a premature baby?
Even a full-term baby wouldn't have such a loud cry, would it?
In the ground-level barracks, Xie Xingzhou and Elder Lu nearly opened their eyes simultaneously.
Their hearing was exceptional, but they were unsure if they had misheard.
They both walked out of their tents.
Xie Xingzhou saw Elder Lu emerging, half confirming his suspicion: "Did you..."
Elder Lu likewise nodded: "I thought I heard wrong too. It seems General Xie heard it as well."
Xie Xingzhou chuckled: "Could it be the midnight wailing of a ghost?"
Elder Lu remarked calmly: "If General Xie believes in ghosts, I have nothing more to say."
