Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 533 - 208: The Child Brought by a Shooting Star

Chapter 533: Chapter 208: The Child Brought by a Shooting Star

After a simple meeting, the five of Tiger Girl finally returned to the Demigod Kindergarten.

As soon as they came back, they saw a few mothers on the lawn, enjoying afternoon tea and having a chat.

At the center of these mothers, Lin Qian was not engaged, looking worriedly at the sky, pondering something unknown.

Suddenly, a few mothers caught sight of Tiger Girl and the others, immediately becoming excited and rushing toward their daughters.

"My dear daughters, you’re finally back! Mom missed you so much!"

Lin Qian heard the commotion, got up, and turned to look in the direction of those returning, only to find that her son was still absent, deepening the sadness on her face, which she quickly concealed, replacing it with a broad smile.

It was rare that the five of Tiger Girl did not run into their own mothers’ arms but instead walked toward the sorrowful but pretending-to-be-cheerful Lin Qian.

Under the watchful eyes of the mothers, all five embraced Lin Qian without saying a word.

In an instant, Lin Qian felt a burst of joy but quickly came to her senses and pushed them away.

"Is it something about little Ran?"

Lin Qian’s voice trembled as she asked.

At this moment, Tiger Girl stepped forward and explained the entire situation.

After listening, Lin Qian’s tense expression relaxed, yet the worry on her face did not diminish.

Her son went alone to a world unknown, not knowing anyone, and it was a high-dimensional world, all just to save the Blue Star from the Exotic Star creatures.

As Xu Ran’s mother, Lin Qian was extremely proud of this.

However, the thought that her son, only thirteen years old, had to face so many dangers alone, was something no mother could accept.

Tiger Girl and the four could perceive the sadness on Lin Qian’s face, and then, they embraced her again, speaking in unison, "From now on, the five of us will be your daughters. During the days when our older brother (little Ran, Captain) is not here, we will take good care of you!"

The voices of the five struck directly at Lin Qian’s heart, and she instantly burst into tears, choking as she said, "Okay... okay... my good daughters!"

The eyes of the five mothers also turned red, for they, as mothers, could empathize the most.

"Alright, daughters, sit down quickly and tell us about the unusual events of your adventure, so that we can have more to talk about at tea parties with other moms!"

...

A meteor burning with white flames streaked across the sky in the Origin Realm.

In the Great Wilderness Border Village, a small remote village in the Origin Realm, the inhabitants were ordinary people who lived by farming.

For the people of the Great Wilderness Border Village, the major events in life were marriage and childbirth.

One family was experiencing a major life event, childbirth.

Inside a small wooden hut, a woman in labor was hovering between life and death, appearing to be only eighteen years old, her face pale, large beads of sweat rolling off her forehead, and her body drenched in sweat that soaked the bedding.

"Midwife, I have no strength left..." the woman cried out in pain, clutching the blanket with all her might, in great agony.

"Push a little more, just a little more strength, don’t give up, don’t give up, you and the baby will make it through."

The woman said no more, continued holding the blanket, gritting her teeth, trying to use her last bit of strength to bring her child into this world.

She struggled for a moment.

Suddenly, the blanket she held tightly in her hands fell onto the bed, her hands suddenly went limp, her bent legs straightened, and the heavy breathing ceased inside the small wooden hut.

The experienced midwife knew that the woman before her had stopped breathing.

Even so, the midwife was shocked, shaking the woman on the bed, yelling loudly.

"Lian Ji? Lian Ji?"

After a few shouts, the woman still showed no response. The midwife finally gave up completely, her face full of heartache, turning around to exit the hut, looking at the young man pacing back and forth outside.

"Xu Binghu... you... go in and have a look, alas... Lian Ji is no more... the child hasn’t been born either..."

The young man outside the door was stunned upon hearing the midwife’s words, his hands fumbling about, unsure of where to place them, his face full of helplessness, muttering continually.

"How could it be... how could it be... how could it be..."

The midwife saw Xu Binghu in such a state and was at a loss herself.

"You knew Lian Ji’s health was poor all along, she insisted on bearing you a child for the Xu family despite everyone’s advice."

"It was like sending herself through the ghost gate..."

She said while shaking her head in resignation.

The Xu family had always been one of the more unfortunate families in the Great Wilderness Border Village.

Back then, when Lian Ji decided to bear a child for the Xu family, Xu Binghu, knowing her health condition, was the first to oppose it.

Lian Ji had been frail and sickly since childhood, even going to the mountains to gather herbs couldn’t save her health.

So Lian Ji became pregnant without Xu Binghu knowing, he only became aware when her belly began to show.

By that time, it was too late to do anything, so he could only hold on to a glimmer of hope.

But there was no way around it, the bad news eventually arrived.

Xu Binghu rushed into the small wooden hut, and the first sight he encountered was Lian Ji lying on the bed, her head tilted.

Beneath her lay a pool of fresh blood, dyeing the entire bed red.
