Chapter 387 - Gave Birth

“Oh right, why haven’t I been seeing many male peacocks around recently?” Bai Qingqing took a look at the nest tree. Only a few young birds were standing on the branches and pecking about, without any mature peacock to be seen.

Muri paused for a while before saying, “There’s going to be heavy rain in a few days. Although the heavy rainy season isn’t as regulated as the one in the inner lands, there will be more rainwater during this period.”

“So, that’s how it is.”

Bai Qingqing nodded. In the afternoon, she saw peacocks around, and the strange feeling in her heart dissipated.

The heavy rain did come in a few days. The sky had been clear a few moments ago, but it was suddenly filled with dark clouds. After a thunderous “rumble” rang out, a heavy rainstorm came.

Drenched by the rain, Parker laid down quietly like a rock, not moving an inch. He was waiting for a chance to dash in when the peacocks in the vicinity weren’t paying attention.

However, he had clearly overestimated his physique. After traveling on the roads consecutively for a month without much rest and short of food, he shamefully fell sick after getting drenched by the rain.

Parker’s groggy head made it even harder for him to sneak in.

After this heavy rain, there was consecutively light rain and heavy rain that came every now and then. As Parker’s body was often wet, he didn’t completely recuperate from his illness.

Left with no choice, Parker forced himself to look for a cave, staying there to recuperate. At the same time, the peacocks would let down their guards.

…

Time flew by rapidly amidst the dampness and humidity. In the blink of an eye, the day Bai Qingqing went into labor arrived.

Muir had made a lot of preparations for this day. However, when it finally took place, his mind turned blank.

“You… go out. I’ll… be fine alone…”

Bai Qingqing held onto her stomach, panting hard. She was calmer than Muir. After all, she had given birth before, and she wasn’t hurting a lot.

Her water had just broken, and quite a lot of water had accumulated in the wooden floorings. That didn’t happen when she was laying the snake eggs. Bai Qingqing panicked momentarily before she quickly understood what it was.

How could Muir possibly dare to leave her? He carried Bai Qingqing by the waist, letting her sit on his legs.

“I won’t look. I’ll just carry you like this. You’ll be more comfortable this way.”

Bai Qingqing’s stomach was seething badly, and she didn’t have the energy to argue with him. After her request was rejected, she accepted it.

Thankfully, she was wearing a dress. Bai Qingqing held back the embarrassment and took off her underwear in front of Muir, adjusted her dress hems, and then wore a solemn expression, ready to give birth.

Muir lowered his head, putting it to Bai Qingqing’s face, his arms circling her body while his hands rested on her stomach, which was seething and rolling inside.

Sensing the movements inside, Muir’s tensed up face became slightly distorted. It was as if he was the one in pain.

“Hu— It hurts.” Bai Qingqing’s face was covered in sweat, her small hands grabbing tightly onto Muir’s muscular arms.

The children in her stomach were creating too much of a ruckus, moving here and there, as if fighting to see who would come out first.

Bai Qingqing rested her head on the shoulder behind her, closing her eyes, and exerted all her force.

When she reached an extreme in her force exertion, her vision and hearing had both turned vague. However, Bai Qingqing could clearly sense something being pushed down toward her lower body. Her lower body felt intense pain, and then there was a relief feeling in her stomach.

Bai Qingqing’s body turned limp, sapped of energy. She felt a hint of piercing pain in her private part, but the pain in her stomach had a momentary relief.

“You’ve given birth.” Muir let out a cry.

Alva, outside, also had a hint of joy flash past his eyes. He anxiously scratched onto the tree bark.

He really wanted to stay by Bai Qingqing’s side as she gave birth. That was a sacred moment, and as a male, how could he not watch over his beloved female?
