"It's a girl."
Lin Feng gently caressed Bibi Dong's lower abdomen, his eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation. "She will definitely be a beautiful girl, just like our Dong'er."
Bibi Dong snuggled in Lin Feng's arms, her face overflowing with a happy smile. "Our child will surely be the most wonderful existence in this world."
Lin Feng smiled faintly. "Dong'er, I'll leave the naming to you."
"Me?" Bibi Dong was taken aback and thought for a moment.
"Xiao Feng, I want to name her Lin Xuan. A few days ago, at Qing Xuan's place, I saw a garden with a corner planted with daylilies.
I've always remembered that this is also the grass of forgetting sorrow."
She looked at her lower abdomen and said softly, "Lin Xuan, with the meaning of forgetting sorrow. May she live her life without worries, with a pure heart, and grow up happily."
Lin Feng repeated the name in his heart and held Bibi Dong a little tighter. Before meeting Lin Feng, Bibi Dong's life was full of hardships and twists.
She had experienced betrayal, scheming, loss, hatred, and pain. Even now, there was perhaps always a touch of unspeakable sadness hidden in the depths of her heart.
And at this moment, she was entrusting all her beautiful wishes for the future to this little life that was about to arrive.
The two held each other quietly. The gentle breeze of the Divine Realm swept by, carrying with it the immortal spiritual energy, as if it were also sending the most gentle blessings to the couple.
"Pfft—"
Snuggled in Lin Feng's arms, Bibi Dong suddenly burst out laughing, for some unknown reason.
"What's wrong?"
Bibi Dong tried to suppress the corner of her lips. "It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."
?
Lin Feng's eyebrow twitched slightly. He realized this matter was not so simple.
Bibi Dong looked up, a cunning glint in her eyes. She leaned closer to Lin Feng's ear and whispered, "I'm thinking about how to tell them this news. Xue'er has been fussing over this matter.
She desperately wanted to be the first to have your child, but unfortunately, I beat her to it. Do you think she'll get angry with me if she finds out?"
"...Probably... not, right?…"
—
"What? Sister Dong is having a child?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened. She looked at Lin Feng and Bibi Dong in disbelief, pointing a finger somewhere, her lips pursed, a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
"How could this be? Clearly, I was first... I should have known not to give her the chance..." she murmured in a low voice.
Not far away, Ling'er saw the scene and flew over lightly, curiously examining Bibi Dong's lower abdomen, her small eyes hiding great doubt.
"Is her pregnancy luck this good? This guy Lin Feng... uh, Big Brother Lin Feng's life level is so high now, I thought it would be that Lord Dragon God who would have the first chance... Hey, hey, hey?" She muttered to herself, completely unaware that Qian Renxue had quietly approached.
"What—did you say?" Qian Renxue picked her up directly, her eyes narrowing, her tone carrying a hint of a threat. "Are you saying you think Xiao Feng should have a child with Gu Yuena first? You little thing, have you been eating too much lately?"
Ling'er, held in the air by Qian Renxue, flailed her arms and hurriedly explained, "No, no, Sister Xue'er, let me explain! I was just saying it casually, I didn't mean that! I was just... just a little surprised!
Of course, I think you should be the one to have that pregnancy luck first!!!"
"Hmph!"
Only then did Qian Renxue let go of Ling'er, gently placing her back on the ground, but her eyes still carried a warning. "Be careful what you say next time."
Ling'er rubbed her ears, which were sore from being pulled, and secretly stuck out her tongue to make a face.
She muttered in a low voice.
"Poor Sister Xue'er, didn't get pregnant first, so angry her heart is broken, crying and making a fuss, sob, sob, sob, so pitiful!"
"Ling—'er—!!!"
Qian Renxue's ears twitched, instantly catching Ling'er's muttering. She whipped around. "Are you itching for a beating? How dare you speak ill of me behind my back!"
Ling'er's body trembled. She narrowly dodged Qian Renxue's grabbing hand and quickly ran to Bibi Dong's side, holding her hand and smiling. "Sister Dong, congratulations! Little Xuan'er will definitely be a super cute girl! I will definitely take good care of her in the future!
If she goes to the Douluo Star to play in the future, I will definitely give her the best opportunities on the Douluo Star."
Bibi Dong smiled and patted Ling'er's head. "Thank you."
Only then did Qian Renxue walk over to Bibi Dong's side, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Bibi Dong's lower abdomen.
I should have known not to take any protective measures back then. I was the one who drank the first soup, yet I'm not the first!
Although there was a trace of regret in Qian Renxue's heart, seeing Bibi Dong's happy appearance, the resentment in her heart gradually dissipated.
She sighed softly, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her lips. Forget it. Sister Dong has lost so many times and came so much later. This time... this time, I'll let her win a round.
Qian Renxue bent down slightly and leaned closer to Bibi Dong's lower abdomen, gently pressing her ear against it, as if wanting to directly listen to the heartbeat of the unborn little life.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but laugh. "It's only been a short while. What can you possibly hear?"
"Hmph," Qian Renxue huffed, but she did not straighten up. Instead, she continued to press her ear against Bibi Dong's lower abdomen and said stubbornly, "I'm just listening. Maybe Little Xuan'er can feel my anticipation and say hello to me in advance."
"Alright, alright, Xue'er," Bibi Dong said with a smile, pulling Qian Renxue's hand. "How can Little Xuan'er say hello to you now? But, she can definitely feel your sentiment."
Qian Renxue straightened up. "Hmph, I'm starting to build a relationship with her in advance. When she comes out, she will definitely be closest to me.
By the way, her name is Xuan'er. Is there any meaning to it?" She looked at Lin Feng.
"Daylily, the grass of forgetting sorrow, the flower of motherhood."
"Forgetting sorrow... is it."
Qian Renxue's lips parted slightly, and a trace of emotion flashed in her eyes as she looked at Bibi Dong. For some reason, the envy and emotion in her heart transformed into the most sincere feeling at this moment, compelling her to stretch out her arms and gently wrap them around Bibi Dong, giving her a warm embrace.
This hug had no reservations or barriers.
Qian Renxue rested her head on Bibi Dong's shoulder, her hands holding her tightly. Her cheek gently pressed against Bibi Dong's hair, and the faint fragrance from Bibi Dong's body filled her nose, a feeling of indescribable warmth surging in her heart.
Bibi Dong was startled at first, then felt Qian Renxue's sincere emotions and tightly hugged her back.
"Sister Dong," Qian Renxue whispered in Bibi Dong's ear, "I'm really happy for you. Little Xuan'er will definitely be a happy child, because she has you. You will be a good mother."
A pang went through Bibi Dong's heart. She pursed her lips, her voice trembling slightly. "Xue'er... thank you. In the past, it was really my fault..."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue's eyes reddened slightly, but a relieved smile appeared on the corner of her lips. She shook her head gently and whispered in Bibi Dong's ear, "That's all in the past, isn't it? We've already sorted it out, why bring it up again? Now, we are a family."
"Mm..."
Bibi Dong nodded heavily.
Qian Renxue gently patted Bibi Dong's back, then slowly let go, took a step back, and said with a smile, "However, I won't admit defeat."
Lin Feng stood aside, watching these two women who once had misunderstandings and barriers, now so close and intimate. His heart was also filled with emotion.
He reached out, one arm around Bibi Dong, the other around Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue closed her eyes for a short rest, but she said, "Xiao Feng, you know what I'm thinking. At the very least, that lecherous dragon must not win against me!"
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched.
"Win what?"
An untimely voice suddenly sounded. The three of them simultaneously looked at Ling'er, who was blinking her clear and foolish eyes.
The faces of the three darkened, and they cast "friendly" glances at her.
"Xiao Feng?"
"Hmm?"
"Throw her out."
Swoosh—
Ling'er's vision blurred, and her body was already in the air, sent far away by a gentle yet irresistible force.
By the time she stabilized her figure, she had already flown an unknown number of miles. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Ling'er shivered. "Wait, where did you guys send me?"
As time passed, Bibi Dong's belly gradually grew larger. The gods in the Divine Realm also learned of this good news and came to congratulate her one after another, sending all kinds of precious gifts and blessings.
And Lin Feng became even busier. He not only had to take care of Bibi Dong but also had to prepare everything for the coming little life.
He personally designed and built a small and exquisite palace as Little Xuan'er's future residence. This palace was full of the breath of life, and every brick and tile contained Lin Feng's love and expectation for his daughter.
The wood for the palace itself was taken from the branches of the Ancient Tree of Life given by Qing Xuan; the stone materials for the floors and such came from the Dreamy Cloud Crystals from the depths of the Divine Realm. This type of stone could change into seven colors under the light, as splendid as a rainbow. Walking on it was like stepping on the clouds.
For all other interior decorations and arrangements, Lin Feng selected them with great care, striving for perfection.
He used all the best quality glazed crystals in the Divine Realm. He even set up several formations inside the entire palace, introducing Chaos Power into it.
This was to integrate the laws into this palace in advance, so that Little Xuan'er could feel the purest and most powerful force between heaven and earth from the moment she was born. These formations could not only enhance the palace's defense but also guide the Chaos Power to nourish Little Xuan'er's body and soul.
Perhaps it was because Lin Feng's life level was indeed too high at this time. Even though Bibi Dong was now the Shura God-King, she still felt strained during the process of gestating Little Xuan'er.
However, Lin Feng was a bug. The origin power of the universe, the Chaos Power that should have dissipated at the beginning of creation, could be condensed by him at will. Ensuring Bibi Dong's safe pregnancy was but a small matter.
—
As the due date approached, the atmosphere in the Divine Realm also became more and more tense. The gods all knew that a new life was about to be born in the Divine Realm. This was the child of Lin Feng and Bibi Dong, the child of the current Shura God and the true uncrowned king of the Divine Realm.
Finally, on that day, bathed in the glory of the Divine Realm, Bibi Dong began to feel contractions. Lin Feng quickly carried Bibi Dong into the palace prepared for Little Xuan'er and notified Qing Xuan and several other experienced gods to come and assist.
Inside the palace, divine light flickered. Chaos Power flowed slowly in the formation set up by Lin Feng, providing Bibi Dong with a continuous supply of energy. Qing Xuan stood aside, using her divine power to stabilize Bibi Dong's emotions, helping her to better cope with the pain of childbirth.
Lin Feng held Bibi Dong's hand tightly, his eyes full of determination and encouragement. He said softly to Bibi Dong, "Dong'er, don't be afraid. I'm here. Little Xuan'er will also be safe and sound."
After a great effort, a clear cry sounded in the palace. Lin Xuan, this little life that everyone had been looking forward to for so long, had finally come into this world.
Her little face was rosy, her eyes were tightly closed, but a faint smile hung on the corner of her lips. She was not wrinkled like a normal baby at birth, but as if she had been carefully carved by the essence of heaven and earth.
Her skin was crystal clear, and her small features were exquisitely delicate. Even with her eyes closed, one could feel her innate agility and extraordinariness.
Lin Feng carefully picked up Little Xuan'er, his eyes filled with doting affection and love. "Welcome to this world."
Although Bibi Dong was exhausted, looking at Little Xuan'er in Lin Feng's arms, a happy smile appeared on her face.
A faint five-colored light flickered on her small body. At the center of her eyebrows, there was a tiny yet exceptionally brilliant point of light, shining like a star. That was the imprint of Chaos Power.
Even though she had just been born, Lin Xuan already possessed the physical and spiritual strength of a Peerless Douluo on the Douluo Star.
The vast majority of people on the Douluo Continent strived their entire lives to reach the level of a Peerless Douluo. That was almost the pinnacle of a soul master's cultivation, a distant dream for ordinary people.
However, Lin Xuan, this newborn little life, already stood at such a height. Her starting point was an endpoint that countless people could never reach in their entire lives.
Just like those innate beings at the beginning of the universe's creation, the nobility and power in their bloodline and soul were sometimes just that unreasonable.
Lin Feng reached out and playfully poked Lin Xuan's little nose, making Little Xuan'er giggle. That crisp laughter was like the sound of nature, instantly melting the hearts of everyone in the palace.
"Mmm."
Gu Yuena's gaze flickered continuously. She first looked at Lin Xuan in his arms, then at the irrepressible smile on Lin Feng's lips.
She blinked, her thoughts unknown.
She was not the only one with such ideas. The other women had their own ulterior motives and plans.
Lin Feng gently passed Little Xuan'er to Bibi Dong. Bibi Dong took the child, maternal love surging in her eyes like a spring.
She held Little Xuan'er gently, looked around, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Um, could you all step out for a moment?"
Ling Yuan laughed out loud. "What, is Sister Dong shy? The last time you accompanied Xiao Feng with me, sob, sob, sob..."
Before Ling Yuan could finish, her mouth was covered by Qian Renxue, who was beside her.
Qian Renxue glared at Ling Yuan, signaling her not to speak nonsense, then released her hand and said with a light smile, "Sister Dong, don't mind her, she just has a quick mouth. You just gave birth and need to rest. We'll go out first and come to see you and Little Xuan'er after you've rested."
