Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1122 - 1118: Childbirth

Ruan Xiangqian was the first to rush in upon hearing Jiang Yingxue’s cries of pain.

Shen Siyuan, Ruan Hongzhuang, and Taozi followed closely behind, entering one after another.​

Inside the room, Jiang Yingxue was lying on the bed, trying to cover her swollen belly with her hands but hesitating, not knowing where to place them. Her brows were tightly knitted, and beads of cold sweat covered her forehead, trickling down her cheeks and soaking the pillowcase.

Her face was pale as paper, her lips bitten white, her body trembling incessantly from the severe pain, making her breathing rapid and heavy.​

"Honey, how are you?"

Ruan Xiangqian rushed to the bedside, tightly gripping Jiang Yingxue’s hand, his voice full of anxiety.

"I... I think it’s time..."

Jiang Yingxue said with difficulty, her voice intermittent and filled with unbearable pain. "He’s moving fiercely inside... like he’s trying to get out..."​

"Take a deep breath, relax, don’t be nervous."

As he wiped her sweat, Ruan Xiangqian anxiously comforted her, "I’m here, and Xiao Shen is here too, it’ll be alright."​

He turned to Ruan Hongzhuang, speaking quickly, "Quick, call the doctor."​

In fact, he didn’t need to instruct; Huang Huijuan had already reacted and was outside calling for the doctor.​

Hearing Ruan Xiangqian say that Shen Siyuan was also there, the extremely tense nerves of Jiang Yingxue seemed to relax a bit, hope flickering in her eyes as she strained to look around: "Xiao Shen... Xiao Shen, come help me..."​

"Mom, I’m here."

Shen Siyuan immediately stepped forward, leaning by the bed, speaking soothingly: "Don’t worry, I’ve already checked. The baby is healthy, and the position is right. It’s indeed time, just relax."​

He had already used his Divine Sense to scan Jiang Yingxue’s belly; the condition of the fetus was clear, with no abnormalities.​

"Having you here... I’m relieved..."

Jiang Yingxue seemed to grasp a lifeline, releasing Ruan Xiangqian’s hand to reach for Shen Siyuan’s arm.

It was then that Ruan Xiangqian noticed his hand was red from her grip, with clear finger marks, indicating the severity of pain she had just endured. ​

Understanding the situation, Shen Siyuan gently placed his hand on Jiang Yingxue’s belly, his palm slightly warm.

A gentle green aura slowly flowed from his palm, like a gentle stream permeating Jiang Yingxue’s body, spreading from the abdomen throughout her body.​

Jiang Yingxue felt a wave of cool comfort sweeping over her, and the knife-like abdominal pain alleviated greatly in an instant.

Her breathing became much smoother, and the look of pain on her face visibly eased.​

"Auntie, this is a rare opportunity." Shen Siyuan withdrew his hand and said. ​

"What opportunity?" Ruan Xiangqian immediately asked nervously. ​

"The human body has a fixed growth cycle. At a certain age, growth stops, and bodily functions gradually age, which is a natural law."

"But the process of a woman nurturing new life breaks this rule. For many, after giving birth, if properly managed, not only can they quickly recover, but minor ailments will also disappear, thanks to the residual Life Energy during pregnancy."​

He paused, then continued: "This type of Life Energy is at a very high level, even surpassing the Elixirs I’ve given you before. Now that the baby is about to be born, he no longer needs this energy. If you can channel this energy into your body, it can not only delay aging but also comprehensively enhance body functions, greatly benefiting mom." ​

Shen Siyuan explained in detail, which Ruan Xiangqian and others understood, showing joyous expressions on their faces.

"We’re really lucky you came today."

Ruan Xiangqian, full of gratitude, held Jiang Yingxue’s hand, speaking excitedly, "Otherwise, we would have missed such a good opportunity."​

"Dad, there’s no need to be so courteous."

Shen Siyuan said with a smile, "Even if I hadn’t come today, this Life Energy wouldn’t dissipate immediately. Later, I can handle it for mom just the same, it’s just that now happens to be a good time." ​

"Anyway, thank you..." ​

Before Ruan Xiangqian could finish his words, Jiang Yingxue suddenly let out a piercing scream, more intense than before, her body arching sharply, making everyone tense up. ​

"It seems this little one is eager to meet everyone."

At this moment, Huang Huijuan returned with several doctors and nurses in white coats, hurrying over. ​

"The cervix has already opened, quick, prepare to enter the delivery room." The doctor checked Jiang Yingxue’s condition quickly, then instructed the nurses in a deep voice. ​

The nurses swiftly wheeled the entire bed towards the delivery room. ​

Childbirth is never a simple "fruit falling when ripe," unlike a hen laying an egg smoothly, but rather a long and torturous process.

Some mothers have to struggle for several hours, even more than ten hours, especially when the fetus is larger. Delivering naturally is even more challenging.​

That’s why many mothers opt for cesarean sections,

As the pain of natural childbirth is too intense, the risks are high, and very few manage to deliver without pain or smoothly.

Ruan Xiangqian followed closely beside the hospital bed, gripping Jiang Yingxue’s hand tightly, his face full of distress and anxiety, continuously comforting her until the bed was pushed into the delivery room.

Shen Siyuan, Ruan Hongzhuang, and the others followed closely, waiting outside the delivery room, with an atmosphere of tension in the air.​

Ruan Xiangqian paced back and forth outside the ward, unsure where to place his hands.

"Dad, sit down first, I’m here, it’ll be alright." Shen Siyuan consoled him.

"Right, right, I’m a bit nervous."

Ruan Xiangqian sat beside Shen Siyuan, exhaling a long breath, his body seemed to relax, but his hands rubbing his thighs betrayed his still anxious state of mind.

"Brother Ruan, Yingxue will be fine, it’s her second child; it’s easier this time." Huang Huijuan also consoled.

"I understand, thank you for taking care of Yingxue these days." Ruan Xiangqian said.

"We’re all family, no need for such polite words."

"Yes, all family, all family..."

Just then, screams from Jiang Yingxue echoed from the delivery room.

A nurse opened the door and came out, Ruan Xiangqian sprang up and went forward.

"Nurse, how is my wife? Has she given birth?" Ruan Xiangqian asked nervously.

"It’s not that quick; I just wanted to ask if any family members want to go in and accompany her during childbirth?"

Usually, hospitals don’t allow family members into the delivery room, but private hospitals offer VIP services where one family member can accompany.

On hearing this, Ruan Xiangqian didn’t choose to go in immediately but turned to look at his daughter, then at Shen Siyuan, finally shaking his head, "No need, we’ll wait outside."

The nurse said nothing further, turning back into the delivery room.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang asked, puzzled, "Why didn’t you go in to accompany mom?"

"Because... I really can’t bear to see her in such pain."

Sensing the tension in the atmosphere, Shen Siyuan changed the subject, "By the way, what name have you given the baby?"
