The whole family is insanely eavesdropping on my thoughts Chapter 545
Chapter 545: The Birth of Seven Sins
Lu Chao Chao held back her tears and quickly walked to her mother’s side.
“Mother, once you give birth to my little brother, let’s go back to Northern Zhao and find my elder brothers… Chao Chao misses home, misses my brothers so much.”
Shi Yun’s eyes welled with tears. How could she tell Chao Chao that she would never be able to go back?
She gripped Chao Chao’s hand tightly, her fingers trembling.
Chao Chao was only four and a half years old. How could she feel at ease?
Her Chao Chao was born under misfortune. Her birth father, Lu Yuan Ze, did not love her, her grandmother did not dote on her, and now, if she were to leave her too… what would become of her little girl?
Shi Yun couldn’t bear to let go of her daughter.
“Chao Chao… Mother… Mother may not be able to return,” she said shakily. The moment those words left her lips, Chao Chao’s tears fell like pearls breaking from a string. Seeing that, Shi Yun found herself unable to say anything more.
“Mother must not say such things! We came together, so we must return together!” Lu Chao Chao held onto her mother’s hand firmly.
She placed a small hand over Shi Yun’s swollen belly.
Inside, it was eerily silent, as if he was gathering strength.
Lu Chao Chao took a deep breath and transferred her energy inside.
Immediately, she felt an intense suction force rapidly absorbing her strength.
Lu Chao Chao’s face turned pale in an instant, her vision swaying with dizziness.
Within her body, her Divine Core spun wildly. The Evil Miasma, which had been forcibly suppressed, suddenly began to stir.
Not good!
The Evil Miasma was trying to break free!
Lu Chao Chao braced herself against the bed with one hand, barely managing to steady herself.
A moment of carelessness, and the Evil Miasma surged out.
Lu Chao Chao’s expression shifted. She raised her hand to seal it back within herself, but before she could suppress it, an external force suddenly devoured it entirely…
??? Wait…
The absorption hadn’t stopped. The Evil Miasma was swallowed up completely in an instant.
Lu Chao Chao!!
Wait! Even though this little brother was being disobedient, he couldn’t just consume the Evil Miasma!
What shocked her the most was that after devouring the Evil Miasma, he no longer absorbed her Divine Power—as if he found it beneath him!
She even sensed a faint hint of disdain.
Lu Chao Chao wanted to withdraw her hand, but the force within the belly clung onto it, refusing to let go until not a single trace of the Evil Miasma remained.
Dazed, Lu Chao Chao pulled her hand back.
[I’d already prepared to exhaust all my Spiritual Qi to help him be born, but… he just ate a bunch of garbage?!]
Shi Yun’s once pale face suddenly regained color. Where she had been too weak to lift a hand before, she now gasped, “The contractions are coming faster! The baby is coming!”
The midwives and doctors had been waiting outside the curtains. Hearing her words, they hurried inside.
The moment they lifted the curtain—
Shi Yun felt a sudden warmth rush from within her. Then, a loud and piercing cry filled the air.
“Waaah! Waaah! Waaah!”
The baby’s cries shook the room, deafening and forceful.
As the wails echoed, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, splitting through the heavens. The entire sky was illuminated in a flash, and the thunder that followed sent shudders through everyone’s hearts.
Crack!
The lightning bolt shot straight toward the small mountain village.
But just as it neared the Sunshine Temple, the lightning suddenly veered off and struck a Crooked-Neck Tree on the mountainside instead.
A deafening explosion roared through the mountains.
Flames erupted in an instant.
The village chief had long commanded the able-bodied young men of the village to stand by. It didn’t take them long to extinguish the flames.
As they came down the mountain, they dug up the Thunderstruck Wood, for in the Spirit Realm, it was a supreme-grade artifact refinement material—its worth enough to feed the entire village for three years.
The baby’s cries ceased, and as if in response, the storm clouds scattered, golden sunlight breaking through to shine upon the land.
In the blink of an eye, the sky turned bright and clear.
The midwives and doctors were in complete shock. No one had expected such a swift transformation from the brink of death to vibrant life.
Just moments ago, Shi Yun had only a thread of life left!
Shi Yun and Rong Che, however, had a vague understanding. It had to be Chao Chao—it must have been something Chao Chao did!
The little girl was drenched from head to toe, as if she had been pulled out of a river.
“Blessings! Blessings! Madam has turned crisis into safety. The Bodhisattva has blessed us, truly fortunate!”
“It’s a son! Congratulations, Madam, congratulations!”
“In all my years as a midwife, I have never seen such a thing. Usually, cases like this are ten deaths for one life, yet this time both mother and child are safe. Ah, this is truly an extraordinary stroke of luck!” The midwife beamed with joy. With practiced hands, she swiftly cleaned the newborn, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and placed him by Shi Yun’s side.
“This is a miracle—surviving such a fate.”
The baby was born strong, plump, and fair-skinned, with not a single trace of the suffering he had just caused.
After wailing for a short while, he seemed to tire himself out and shut his eyes, drifting into slumber.
Rong Che held onto his wife, overwhelmed with lingering fear.
“Master Rong, you should step outside for now. We need to clean up Madam. She’s still covered in blood, and you should freshen up as well.” The midwives had already prepared warm water to cleanse Shi Yun properly.
Seeing Shi Yun in good spirits, Rong Che finally let go of his worries.
He reached for Chao Chao’s hand. “Chao Chao, come, let Father take you to clean up…” How lucky he was to have met Shi Yun and Chao Chao. They were his greatest fortune.
A-Man was waiting outside and quickly carried Chao Chao off to wash her hair, bathe her, and change her into fresh clothes, leaving her fragrant and clean.
By the time Chao Chao returned, her mother had already been moved from the birthing chamber.
Rong Che had taken her to the next room. The birthing chamber was stiflingly hot and reeked of blood, and since a woman in confinement couldn’t be exposed to drafts, they had long prepared another space.
Xie Yu Zhou knelt on the corridor outside and wiped his tears. “Ptui, ptui, ptui! I was just talking nonsense before! I never said I wanted to return to the Buddha Realm!”
“I didn’t say anything just now! I swear I didn’t!”
Zhu Mo rolled his eyes at him in secret.
[Just a moment ago, he was crying and begging, ‘Please, gods, protect Madam Shi and her child! I swear I will devote myself to the Buddhist path…’]
But no one exposed him.
Madam Shi had turned crisis into safety—it was something to celebrate.
