Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 865: Chapter 333: Silver Mine from the Heavens, Yu Yao and Yu Sheng, No Need to Use a Bull Knife to Kill a Chicken

”Wah... Wah...”

”Lord, don’t rush, there’s still another child yet to come, wait a little longer.”

A loud cry came from the room, and Xia Hong’s face instantly burst with joy. If it weren’t for Han Yue stopping him in time, he almost dashed straight into the room.

”Right, right, there’s another one, there’s another one, I forgot!”

The smile that just appeared on Xia Hong’s face was immediately replaced by anxiety.

”No, it hurts... it hurts... ah...”

As Li Xuanling’s second round of cries began, Xia Hong noticed the temperature in the room was rising at an exaggerated rate, and his anxiety was directly transformed into deep worry.

Obviously, both fetuses were affected by the Jade Dew Stone.

”Wah...”

After the first child was born, the subsequent process went much smoother. Xia Hong waited less than a few minutes before hearing the second baby’s cry.

This time, Han Yue finally did not stop him and allowed him to go in directly.

”Congratulations, Lord, madame gave birth to a pair of dragon-phoenix twins.”

”The eldest is the sister, the second is the brother.”

”Congratulations, Lord.”

”Dragon-phoenix twins are rare in the entire Xia City.”

... ... ...

Xia Hong rushed into the room and went straight to the bedside to check on Li Xuanling’s condition.

Seeing Li Xuanling’s pale face, her energy and blood declined, and her body visibly thinner, Xia Hong hurriedly placed his hand on her arm. After sensing for a moment, his expression became solemn.

Indeed, down to twenty-eight bristles, her cultivation level dropped!

By the end of last year, Li Xuanling’s basic strength was twenty-seven bristles, and she had reached thirty-one bristles in the first eight months, just one bristle short of late-stage cold resistance.

After the childbirth, she directly lost three bristles of cultivation!

Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu’s post-delivery state was something Xia Hong had witnessed, and theirs was clearly not as struggling as Li Xuanling’s.

”You’ve worked hard!”

”I felt it. When the two children came out, they were extremely eager for energy and blood, so I transferred some to them. The cultivation can be regained later, it’s fine!”

Li Xuanling was utterly unconcerned, clearly not taking her cultivation drop seriously. She only felt a touch of warmth in her eyes when she recalled Xia Hong immediately rushing to her side upon entering the room.

”Lord, please look, the holy patterns on the brows of the two young lords seem different from those of Yuzong and Yu Ning!”

The midwife Zhao Ying, seeing the couple finish their exchange, perceptively brought the two children over.

The midwife in Great Xia also has a special title, called midwife-craftsman, belonging to one of the four workshops under the Craftsmen Department, the Skill Workshop. The Skill Workshop was formerly called the Woodworking Workshop, but as the population of Great Xia grew, the number of people with special skills also increased, so it was renamed the Skill Workshop to accommodate these people, with midwife-craftsmen included.

Being able to come to the Star-picking Hall for Li Xuanling’s delivery, Zhao Ying’s skill was naturally beyond doubt. She was considered the most skilled midwife in the Skill Workshop, and had just delivered for Xia Chuan’s two wives.

Having witnessed the two young princes of the minister’s family, Zhao Ying was immediately able to spot the unusual features of the two young lords.

Hearing this, Li Xuanling immediately became nervous.

Xia Hong’s expression slightly changed the moment he took his pair of children from Zhao Ying, then he lowered his head to observe the foreheads of the two infants.

The holy patterns on the foreheads of the two children were not different in shape, being three vertical cloud patterns, but their colors were different from the blood-red of Yuzong and Yu Ning.

The left daughter’s holy pattern was water-blue, with a translucent jade-like texture;

The right son’s holy pattern was golden-red, with what seemed like flames burning inside.

The two newborns were only wrapped in silk blankets, and Xia Hong could clearly feel the different tactile sensations of their skins.

The daughter’s small body continually emitted cold air, which would condense upon encountering high temperatures, quickly forming a thin, transparent mist on his arm;

The son was just the opposite, like a little furnace. His body temperature was astonishingly high, and if Xia Hong hadn’t seen his face showing no anomaly, he would have truly worried that the child was ill.

”Quick, let me see the children!”

Lying on the bed, Li Xuanling had been waiting for a long time, watching Xia Hong alternately frown and relax his eyebrows, she was so anxious for so long that she finally couldn’t help but half-sit up and asked Xia Hong to hand her the children.

Xia Hong said nothing, leaning down to place the two children in her hands.

As soon as her hands took the children, Li Xuanling’s complexion changed slightly, clearly also noticing the anomaly. She was about to ask, but found that both children had reached out their little hands, grabbing Xia Hong’s sleeve and refusing to let go.

Xia Hong, who was bent over, didn’t stand up immediately. He looked at the little hands of the two infants, his pupils instantly flashing with intense surprise.

”This...”

Li Xuanling extended her hand to pry open the fingers of the two children, and the moment she did, she immediately realized something, her eyes flashing with astonishment. She was about to ask, but had just uttered a word before Xia Hong stopped her with a look.

Xia Hong stood up, turned back to face the dozen people in the room, and a smile appeared on his face as he spoke softly, ”You’ve all worked hard. Tonight, everyone responsible for helping madame with the childbirth will be rewarded with 2,000 Contribution Value each.”

Zhao Ying and the other seven midwives, along with Han Yue, Han Shuang, and the dozen or so maids, were initially taken aback by Xia Hong’s words, then immediately bowed excitedly to express their gratitude.

”Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord!”

”Thank you for the reward, Lord.”
