Chapter 1235: Childbirth Tribulation
Jun returned with fresh meat.
Seeing that Hu had already found Sally, he wasn't surprised.
Besides, he came at the right time, so he wouldn't have to find Sally again after she gave birth and left, avoiding the hassle of explaining her whereabouts.
The three of them had a meal together.
Perhaps Jun and Hu had never tasted such carefully prepared ingredients before; both were very intrigued. Especially Hu, who exclaimed repeatedly that Sally's cooking was the most delicious food since the dawn of time.
Sally smiled, though she was flattered, it was pleasant to hear. Jun silently ate, finishing everything in his bowl without leaving a single grain of rice.
"Where exactly are you from?" Hu asked.
Sally replied, "Another world."
"Where is that?"
"It's hard to say, because I accidentally ended up here during my tribulation. Once I overcome it, I'll return."
"I see, so you've been rejecting me not because you dislike me, but because you can't stay here."
"If saying it that way makes you feel better," Sally laughed.
"So, in the place you come from, do you have my Kunpeng brothers?"
"..." You have your Kunpeng sons!
"Uh~" Sally's large belly suddenly cramped painfully, she quickly held her breath, and when the spasms eased, she told the two gods, "I'm about to give birth, could you both please step aside."
Jun suddenly picked her up and teleported back to the cabin, "Give birth here."
Sally was stunned, "Isn't this your home?"
Jun laid her down on the bed, "You take your time; I'll wait outside."
Sally looked around the room, identical to when she left, "Well, if after giving birth, it's a mud fetus, you must get rid of it. If it's something else..."
"I will treat it as my own child, you can leave without worry." Jun said and then turned to leave.
"This journey has truly troubled you." Sally apologetically said to his back.
Jun didn't reply; his steps paused for a moment.
...
Huang River, Tribulation Crossing Cloud Platform.
Sally was curled up in pain with her big belly!
Zong Silu asked the children to leave the cloud platform area first; he couldn't afford to worry whether Sally was undergoing a tribulation or not and swiftly flew onto the cloud platform.
First, he surrounded the entire cloud platform with curtains, then took out the birthing bed Sally used when giving birth to Xiao Susu and Little Lulu, moving her onto it.
Holding her hand tightly, he said, "Yanyan, don't be afraid, I'm here, wake up~"
Though Sally was unconscious, she instinctively grasped his hand tightly.
Zong Silu sent a sound transmission to Zhu Sanlang, of all the Beast Husbands, he had the most experience with childbirth.
Zhu Sanlang didn't have a teleportation talisman to reach Huang River, and after receiving Zong Silu's sound transmission talisman, he was frantically anxious.
He sent a sound transmission to Jian.
Jian immediately arrived and took him directly to Huang River.
Seeing the birthing Sally, Jian was stunned, "What's going on? How is she giving birth while undergoing an Ascension Divine Tribulation?"
Zong Silu said, "Originally everyone thought she was about to undergo a Heart Demon Tribulation, but unexpectedly it became a Childbirth Tribulation. Moreover, Yanyan's soul is still in the tribulation, not yet returned to her body."
"Then whose child is she carrying..." Jian suddenly thought of something, his expression turning vibrant, "Hopefully, it's a little mouse!!!"
Zong Silu said, "It shouldn't be, she's been pregnant for over two months."
Zhu Sanlang changed into medical attire, donned a hat, mask, gloves, and surgery tools, all previously gifted by Sally.
He stripped Sally of all lower garments, checking her physical condition.
The whole process left Zong Silu and Jian gawking.
"Old Zhu, who taught you this?" Jian asked.
Zhu Sanlang replied, "Xiaomei gave me some materials; usually, I assist with births for Spiritual Beasts on Yunmeng Island or Qilin Mountain."
"Why not start a medical department at Divine Beast University?" Zong Silu, eyes bright, watched his operation.
Zhu Sanlang shook his head, "I learned this for Yanyan."
Jian said to Zong Silu, "I agree with opening a course."
"Hmm, I'll cast a vote in the school; if it passes, you must come over." Zong Silu smiled, "It's settled."
"...alright." Zhu Sanlang reluctantly agreed.
"How's Yanyan?" Jian asked.
"Still early." Zhu Sanlang touched Sally's belly, "The child is fine, life force is very strong, the fetus is relatively large, definitely not a little mouse."
Tribulation clouds in the sky began to churn.
Jian looked up, "The final Divine Status Tribulation is coming."
"No way, absolutely not." Zong Silu said, "Yanyan is in no condition for a tribulation."
Jian said, "Perhaps the tribulation is aimed at the child in her belly."
"Then it won't be undergone." Zhu Sanlang said, "Whether Yanyan becomes a god or not doesn't matter."
"Now we have no choice." Jian withdrew his own aura and laid a defense barrier for Sally, "Block it first, let her deliver the child."
"Alright." Zong Silu also had no other option, adding a layer of space law to the defense barrier.
Just having them interfere with the tribulation means Sally will likely have to endure a punishment tribulation.
Zhu Sanlang kept checking the condition of the fetus.
...
Inside the cabin, Sally bit the corner of the sheet hard, without a sound.
She was used to Xiaomei helping her with pain relief, it only took the last ten minutes to endure it.
Now without Xiaomei, she was once again realizing how tough this challenge was.
Hu also followed inside; seeing Jun standing outside the door, very tense, he asked, "Is childbirth like laying eggs? Just cuddle the nest, quickly it will be done."
"I don't think it looks like that." Jun replied.
"Really? Let me see." Hu said, wanting to go in and have a look.
Jun stopped him, "No way."
Hu didn't insist; since he wasn't allowed in, he put his ear to the door to listen...
Jun pulled him away, "Wait patiently."
Darkness fell.
The forest at night was even more lively than during the day, with the cries of beasts and birds echoing continuously.
"Isn't she taking too long to nest?" Hu was growing a bit impatient.
Jun replied, "You should return to the Chaos Sea."
"Not going back, doing nothing but idleness, how about we have a fight?" Hu flexed his arms, muscles bulging.
Jun ignored him, "Last time you were beaten terribly?"
Hu said, "…I didn't perform well, this time I have learned a new move, you definitely won't win."
A small cub hopped over, saw Jun and Hu, and immediately tried to run.
Hu shouted at him, "Stop! What are you doing?"
"I... I'm looking for my wife." Little Jian obediently crouched down.
"Who did you say you're looking for?" Hu looked at the young creature, incredulous, hadn't even shed his baby fur, and already has a wife?
"It's Sally, she's my wife." Little Jian replied honestly.
Jun beckoned, "Come here."
