MARTIAL PEAK 4679

After knocking for a long time, Yang Kai heard some faint sounds coming from inside the house. Yang Kai’s hearing was quite good, so he could faintly hear a few curses.

The door to the room opened and a middle-aged woman’s face emerged, her eyes filled with sleepy eyes as she stared at Yang Kai and yawned, “It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

Yang Kai took a step back and cupped his fists, “Madam, please forgive me. Lady Yu is about to give birth, so granny asked me to invite you over.”

“Lady Yu?” For a moment, the Midwife didn’t remember who it was, but after a moment, she understood, “Is she from the east of the city?”

“Yes!” Yang Kai quickly nodded.

The old woman nodded and said, “Grandma Zhou had exchanged a few words with me before. Isn’t it still not time yet? Why is she giving birth tonight?”

“There was a heavy rain tonight, and something happened in Lady Yu’s house. Perhaps it alarmed the fetus.”

The Midwife had seen this kind of thing many times, so she didn’t mind and simply waved her hand, “I understand, you can go back first.”

“You’re not coming with me?” Yang Kai was stunned.

The midwife smiled, “Women don’t give birth so quickly. There’s just been some movement, so even if I go over now, I won’t be able to help much. It won’t be too late to go after dawn.”

Saying so, she closed the door.

Yang Kai stepped forward and pressed his foot against the door, hurriedly saying, “Before I came here, Lady Yu had already seen red, I’m afraid she won’t be able to wait until morning!”

The midwife glanced at him from head to toe and smiled, “You’re so concerned about that little girl, is the child yours?”

Yang Kai was not in the mood to be entangled with her nonsense. Recalling the granny's previous instructions, he quickly handed over a money bag, “Please help, Madam.”

The midwife took the money bag, weighed it in her hand, and casually put it away before impatiently saying, “Listen to me, I’ve done many things like delivering a child. It’s definitely not too late to wait until dawn. If something really happens, I’ll take responsibility. Moreover, the rain is so heavy, how do you expect me to get there? If I get drenched all the way, I’ll definitely fall sick.”

Yang Kai frowned and asked, “Can you go if there is no rain?”

The midwife sneered, “What? Can you… control the weather?”

As soon as the last word left her mouth, the smile on the midwife's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a look of shock. The pouring rain had suddenly stopped, and not only that, but the dark clouds covering the sky also quickly dispersed, allowing the cold moonlight to pour down and illuminate the world.

The midwife looked up at the sky with a blank expression.

“Madam, life is at stake!” Yang Kai said earnestly, staring straight at her.

The midwife looked at Yang Kai with some surprise, seemingly thinking of something, and couldn’t help shivering as she hurriedly said, “Wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”

Yang Kai nodded.

A moment later, the neatly dressed midwife walked out and followed Yang Kai to the east of the city.

When they arrived in front of granny's house, they could clearly hear a shrill scream piercing the night sky. The two of them entered the house and Yang Kai called out, “Grandma, she's here.”

Granny’s voice rang out, “Come in quickly.”

Yang Kai turned his head to look at the midwife, and the latter quickly jumped into the inner room as if she had grown four legs.

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

Yang Kai had never imagined that a woman giving birth to a child would be like this. He could feel the fragility and difficulty of life.

“Little brat Yang, boil some water!” Granny’s voice came from inside the house.

Yang Kai quickly responded and rushed into the kitchen to boil some water.

An hour later, a basin of blood was brought out by Granny and poured into the ditch outside, while Yu Lu’s heart-wrenching screams gradually weakened.

“It’s not going to work, Grandma Zhou,” The midwife's voice rang out, “Difficult birth, blood rupture, any one of these things is like stepping into the gates of hell for us women, even if it’s Lady Yu, even the gods can’t save her.”

“Can’t you think of something else?” Granny asked anxiously.

The midwife said, “What can I do? If I could invite a master from Seven Star Square, perhaps It could save Lady Yu, but now… I can only say that I’ll try my best to protect this little one.”

“Seven Star Square isn’t too far from here, we won’t be able to make it in time,” Inside the house, Granny shook her head, her cloudy eyes filled with sadness.

“Protect… protect the child…” Yu Lu’s voice stuttered.

Outside the room, Yang Kai whispered, “Mu Zhu, Mu Lu, go help her stabilize her life force.”

The two little wood spirits who had been sitting on his shoulders and worrying about the situation inside the house quickly nodded, flapped their wings, and silently rushed inside.

With a thought from Yang Kai, a large amount of the small universe's vitality began to flow into the room.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a bright baby’s cry rang out, piercing through the clouds. At the same time, a natural phenomenon appeared, the moonlight condensing into a beam that fell from the sky, directly illuminating the room where Yu Lu was, causing the void to tremble.

However, under Yang Kai’s intentional interference, this phenomenon was invisible to everyone except him.

“The baby is born!” The midwife's surprised voice rang out and grandma also let out a heavy sigh.

Mu Lu silently flew out from the room, her eyes red. It seemed that the events inside had affected her greatly. Nodding to Yang Kai to indicate that everything was fine, she returned to the inner room.

There was another flurry of activity inside, and after a while, the midwife walked out while reminding the granny, “Within a month, don’t touch water and don’t encounter any wind. She was lucky to escape from death this time. If she doesn’t take good care of herself, there may be some hidden dangers.”

The granny smiled and said, “Although this old woman has never given birth to a child, I still know about these things. It’s been hard on you.”

Originally, the midwife seemed to be strained, but when she saw Yang Kai standing outside, she couldn’t help shivering and quickly said, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing.”

The granny raised her head and said to Yang Kai, “Little brat Yang, prepare another red envelope.”

Yang Kai was already prepared, so he took out another money bag and handed it over with both hands, “Many thanks, Madam.”

The midwife quickly waved her hand, “You’re too polite, I’ve already accepted the red envelope, I can’t accept it anymore.”

Saying so, she walked out without looking back.

After watching her leave, granny sighed, “This child’s skills are really good. Lady Yu had already stepped into the gates of hell, but who would have thought that she would be able to turn misfortune into good fortune. Not only is she fine, but her child has also been born safely. This red envelope cannot be kept. Send it to her later, no matter what, she saved two lives.”

“Good, don’t worry, granny, I’ll send it over tomorrow,” Yang Kai quickly nodded and whispered, “Granny, is it a boy or a girl?”

“It’s a boy,” Granny smiled, “Now that Lady Yu has given an explanation to the Old Zhao's Family, I’ll go take care of Lady Yu. Take some time to rest, you’ve been busy all night.”

“Granny, you should also rest well,” Yang Kai said with concern.

The next day, Yang Kai went to find the midwife again and after much persuasion, managed to give her the red envelope before going to the river outside town to catch a few big fish.

Hearing the commotion, grandma walked out with the child in her arms and said to Yang Kai, “Lady Yu said that it was all thanks to you that we were able to invite the midwife here. She don’t know how to thank you, but she wanted you to see the child.”

Yang Kai quickly put down the fish in his hand and wiped his hands before carefully accepting the child.

Perhaps it was because the baby had just eaten his fill, but the child was sleeping peacefully, giving birth to a delicate beauty.

Holding it in his hand, Yang Kai could clearly feel that Dao Mark of the Space Law in the Small Universe were extremely compatible with this child’s aura, even slowly merging with him.

When the little guy was still in his mother’s womb, Yang Kai had already felt it. If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have paid so much attention to Yu Lu.

Grandma thought he was interested in her, but in reality, Yang Kai was interested in the child in her belly, but this was a difficult truth to explain.

A successor! Yang Kai suddenly thought.

He had never thought that raising a living being in his Small Unvierse would bring him such a benefit. With this child’s innate affinity with the Space Laws, he was qualified to become his successor. If he was more talented and diligent, his future attainments in the Space Dao might not be any worse than his.

As a young man, he was naturally in no hurry to find his successor, so he had never thought about this matter before.

However, since a suitable successor had appeared, Yang Kai didn’t mind spending some time to cultivate him.

On the second day of his birth, there were still some wrinkles on his body. Yang Kai had never held such a small baby before, and even with his Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation, he was still somewhat flustered, afraid that he would hurt him with just a bit of strength.

Beside him, grandma was giving him pointers about the correct position to hold a baby, causing Yang Kai to feel awkward.

“If it’s convenient, give the child a name,” Granny suddenly said.

Yang Kai was stunned, “Is that appropriate?”

Although he had long intended to take this child as his disciple, after all, they were neither relatives nor friends, so how could he have the right to name him?

The granny pouted towards the room and said, “Lady Yu’s meaning is that she doesn’t know how to name the baby, but this old woman also doesn’t know how to do so. The child’s father passed away suddenly, and when he was alive, he didn’t leave any words behind, so we can only rely on you. From the looks of it, you’ve also read books before, so you should help us out.”

Hearing the grandma's words, Yang Kai didn’t refuse any further and said after a moment of silence, “When the child is born, the night is full, and the east is pale white, let’s call him Yebai. The child’s surname is Zhao, so he is Zhao Yebai!”

He spoke a little louder so that Yu Lu could hear him.

The old woman nodded and said, “The night ends and the sun rises. Good signs, Lady Yu, has the child’s name been decided?”

Yu Lu’s slightly weak voice rang out, “It’s settled, thank you Big Brother Yang!”

Yang Kai smiled, “It’s not a good name, just don’t blame me when the child grow up.”

Lady Yu replied, “No.”

The granny took the child from Yang Kai’s hands and said, “The child is too young and can’t stay outside for too long. I’ll carry him back first.”

“I’ll go kill some fish!” Yang Kai turned around and walked out with the fish in his hand.
