Chapter 388 Sleep
Upon learning the reason, Feng Yu quickly set up a spirit-gathering array in the courtyard.
In the days that followed, Shen Yao slept more and more frequently.
They are also sleeping longer and longer.
The fetus's need for spiritual energy is indeed increasing.
Although Shen Yao's divine-level spirit return technique is perfected, as long as there is enough spiritual energy in the environment, the spiritual energy in her spiritual root will remain fully stored.
But most of the time, it was Feng Yu who was transmitting spiritual energy to the fetus.
He was grateful that the fetus could absorb his spiritual power, and he stubbornly believed that if the child consumed more of his spiritual power, it would be able to develop a bond with him after birth.
Shen Yao thought it made sense, so she agreed to his support.
Another month passed, and Little Round Bean grew to the size of a peach pit. Its arms had fully grown in, its tail had mostly disappeared, and it was growing legs.
Every time Shen Yao woke up and used her wood elemental power to examine herself, she would marvel at the wonder of life.
Such a tiny baby changes every day; their condition is different each day.
She sleeps a lot, and her appetite increases every time she wakes up, but thankfully she doesn't gag as much anymore.
On the morning of the 90th day, Shen Yao woke up and checked herself, discovering that the baby, the size of a peach pit, had fully developed facial features and limbs; it was a little girl.
Shen Yao began to look forward to the day when she grew up to be either a dashing and spirited girl or a delicate and adorable one.
Feng Yu placed his hand on her stomach and channeled a large amount of spiritual energy into it.
Once the spiritual energy entered the abdomen, it was like fat meat entering a beast's den, and was quickly absorbed by the fetus.
Feng Yu's eyes were incredibly tender. He smiled and said, "Judging from the way she tries to steal spiritual power, she might be a little tyrant."
Shen Yao imagined what a female tyrant would look like: "Then she must be taught well, and we can't let her bully the weak."
Feng Yu replied, "Don't worry, my wife. With parents like us, she won't bully the weak."
That's true. Parents are role models for their children. If the mold is right, the finished product won't be bad either.
The peach blossoms in the courtyard smell especially sweet today.
After finishing the last mouthful of soup at breakfast, Shen Yao sat at the table feeling sleepy.
She whimpered, "Yunhe, I'm a little cold. Can you carry me to the side room to sleep?"
The bedroom is mostly bathed in sunlight; it's a bright and sunny day, so how could it be cold?
Feng Yu touched her hands and back; they were very cold, like water in a shady lake.
He quickly picked her up and carried her downstairs to the Fire Spirit Stone Bed in the side hall.
He wanted to ask her if she was warm enough, but she was already asleep.
Tu Xiaoxiao asked the pharmacist who had come with her, "Do other pregnant women also experience feeling cold?"
Xu Qin replied, "Yes, some people also experience swelling in their limbs; there are all sorts of situations."
Shen Yao slept for the entire morning without waking up.
Her body was still cold.
After examining it, Huo Die said it was fine; the clay body was actually not afraid of hot or cold, it was just a matter of physical sensation.
She was still asleep in the afternoon and couldn't be woken up.
Feng Yu checked on the fetus and found that it was no longer absorbing his spiritual energy.
The little girl, no bigger than a peach pit, was curled up asleep inside Shen Yao's belly, and did not absorb her spiritual power.
Feng Yu suggested, "Father, why don't we lure her out and raise her in the gestation pod?"
After examining the area with his divine power, Huo Die thought for a while and said, "Observe for a few more days."
Feng Yu said, "Some pregnant women give birth after three months of pregnancy. Yanzhou is currently ninety days pregnant. If we observe her for a few more days, she might give birth soon."
Huo Die said, "What's the difference between induced labor and natural birth for such a tiny baby? What are you afraid of?"
The sour taste in Feng Yu's mouth made Huo Die frown: "Yan Zhou is suffering, and it breaks my heart."
Lianyi comforted him, "Feng Xiandi, don't worry. Fetuses usually grow to six pounds before being born, and Shen Xianzun's pregnancy is still long."
The comforting words only made Feng Yu more anxious. Her pregnancy was far from over, and she wondered how long she would have to suffer and what might happen.
He took a deep breath and silently stood guard by the bedside.
Today passed exceptionally slowly; Shen Yao slept until the afternoon and still hadn't woken up.
Tu Xiaoxiao's fox tails couldn't be stopped, and two tails ran out. She pounded the ground anxiously: "Why isn't she awake yet? I can't wake her up no matter how much I call her. Is she asleep or unconscious?"
Huo Die was urged by his two sons-in-law to make a diagnosis several times that afternoon. He calmly said, "He's just asleep, not unconscious."
Lianyi and Xu Qin stood by, not daring to utter a sound.
They had never seen a pregnancy like Shen Xianzun's before.
The fetus is developing slowly and is absorbing the mother's spiritual energy, while the mother is also so sleepy.
This is a really difficult task.
They were both counting on Huo Die, hoping that Shen Yao could hold on until delivery and that both mother and daughter would be safe.
Warm light shone inside the room, and the moonlight shone silvery through the window.
Tu Xiaoxiao paced back and forth in the room: "I can't wake her up no matter how I call her, I might as well just shake her awake."
A jade-carved hand rested on Shen Yao's shoulder, and Feng Yu gently shook her shoulder, calling out, "Yan Zhou... Yan Zhou..."
Tu Xiaoxiao was anxious. He strode to the bedside, sat down, scooped Shen Yao up, and shook her vigorously: "Yao Yao, wake up!"
His rough and impatient manner showed no gentleness whatsoever.
Feng Yu's heart pounded as she watched, and she quickly stopped her: "Don't shake it like that, what if you cause a problem?"
Unable to wake her up no matter how much she shook and shouted, Tu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to put her back: "Give her some more flower dew."
Shen Yao slept from morning till night. Since there was nothing else to feed her, we could only use our spiritual power to guide the flower dew into her throat.
When the flower dew went down her throat, she didn't swallow it, but it would seep down little by little and be absorbed by her body.
Huo Die still had the leisure to read a book. He consulted the oracle and found that both mother and daughter were safe and sound, so he wasn't worried at all.
He turned the pages of the book and glanced at the two anxious pharmacists beside the table: "Lianyi, Xu Qin, you two go and rest. You don't need to guard this place anymore."
There's no point in staying here.
Although the two pharmacists were worried, they were very responsible: "Reporting to Emperor Huo, we are not trapped, we will keep watch."
Huo Die dismissed them, saying, "It's only such a small room. Those two are in a real hurry. You two are just standing here in the way. Hurry up and leave."
Ultimately, she still thought the two of them were useless, so Xu Qin hurriedly pulled Lianyi aside to say goodbye and left anxiously.
The two pharmacists felt wronged. They were fellow apprentices and had cared for countless pregnant women, but they had never encountered a pregnancy like Shen Yao's.
Xu Qin and Lian Yi had just left when Jiang Ming arrived.
I didn't bring Shi Bao tonight.
Feng Yu had just finished feeding Shen Yao the flower dew and was touching her belly, using her spiritual power to check on the fetus.
After greeting his father-in-law, Jiang Ming quietly asked Tu Xiaoxiao, "How was your day?"
After he asked the question, two more fox tails of Tu Xiaoxiao anxiously emerged.
Four fox tails hung down behind her and slapped each other. Tu Xiaoxiao's fox ears drooped in her hair: "She's been sleeping since after breakfast, and I can't wake her up no matter what I do."
Jiang Ming was shocked upon hearing this and angrily said, "Why didn't you tell me sooner!"
He glanced around the side hall: "Where's the pharmacist?"
Huo Die lightly turned a page of the book: "I've dismissed the pharmacist. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
My father-in-law has such high credibility that if he says everything is alright, then everything is definitely alright.
Jiang Ming felt somewhat relieved.
He walked to the bedside and touched her forehead, his heart, which had just calmed down, jumped again: "Why is she so cold?"
As soon as he finished speaking, frost formed on Shen Yao's eyelashes.
At the same time, Feng Yu withdrew her hand from her abdomen: "Father, come quickly and see, the child... she..."
