Sang Luo woke up to broad daylight, her body aching and exhausted, not wanting to move a single finger.
Minos, still considerate of her body, had restrained his strength, and by the latter half of the night, seeing she couldn't take it, he had let her go.
Recalling the taste of last night, an indescribable passion.
Minos had changed somewhat.
Stained with the desires of the mortal world, he became more vivid, no longer a sculpture to be admired from afar, a stunning oil painting, but a living person with all the emotions and desires of a human being.
After Sang Luo finished eating, Minos took out a crystal core and handed it to her.
"Where did you get this crystal core?" Sang Luo saw a golden crystal core for the first time.
"The Holy Ancestor."
Sang Luo's hand paused.
Minos said, "The power of this crystal core is enough for your needs during this pregnancy."
Sang Luo hesitated for a moment, then consumed and refined the crystal core.
She had been pregnant for three years, and her waist was only a little rounder than usual, looking about the same as being three months pregnant.
Sang Luo had thought she would be pregnant for ten years, but after eating the crystal core, her belly grew like a balloon within a few months, greatly shortening the pregnancy, and she estimated that she would give birth in another half year or so.
Minos also began to consciously control her food intake, and would help her go outside for a walk after meals every day.
Compared to being pregnant with beast cubs, the more human-like the cub, the harder it was to carry. Sang Luo looked at her bulging belly and felt a bit of tokophobia. It was even bigger than when she was pregnant with the two little phoenix cubs, and her belly skin was faintly stretched with stretch marks. Minos applied oil to her belly every night, which prevented further deterioration.
As she approached her due date, her chest also became swollen, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Minos helped her relieve the discomfort, and slowly, his throat tightened, and he lowered his head to kiss her.
Sang Luo's body went limp, and she leaned weakly in his arms.
Minos raised his head and looked at her.
Faint snowflakes fell.
His refined and handsome face was stained with the ultimate desire, tempting and maddening.
Sang Luo's face flushed crimson.
"Are you feeling better now?" he chuckled softly.
"Mmm..."
"Whenever you feel uncomfortable, let me help you."
The word "No" hadn't even come out of her throat when he kissed her lips.
Having no choice, Sang Luo gave up resisting and surrendered.
In the months leading up to the birth, the palace witches sent many tonics, which were different from the tonics Sang Luo usually ate to nourish her body. They were not for her to eat, but to strengthen the fetus in her belly.
According to the witches.
When the Holy Monarch was first born, his body was very weak and almost died young. Even if this child was born successfully, there was still a possibility of dying young. In order for His Majesty the Holy Monarch to successfully escape, the old witches had been researching for thousands of years, and these tonics were made based on the Holy Monarch's physical condition back then, to ensure the health of the fetus to the greatest extent and reduce the possibility of dying young.
"Minos was weak when he was young?" Sang Luo ate a spiritual fruit that looked a bit like a bayberry, her face surprised.
"The Holy Monarch's body was frail in his childhood, and he stayed in a sterile room all year round. Even the servants who specially served him had to go through layers of checks every time they entered, and the whole body disinfection process was cumbersome. Back then, everyone had no hope for the Holy Monarch, thinking that this child would definitely die young, but he survived and became the most talented Holy Monarch since the establishment of the Holy Temple."
"It hasn't been easy for him all this way..." Sang Luo didn't expect that the powerful Minos was a frail sickly child when he was young, and felt a pang of heartache.
"Ultimately, it's still difficult to conceive a Divine Angel. If Her Majesty the Holy Queen was pregnant with an ordinary angel, it would be fine, but with a Divine Angel, there are too many things to consider..."
The witches were also extremely busy these days, discussing various countermeasures during childbirth to ensure the safety of both mother and child as much as possible.
After Sang Luo finished drinking the prenatal medicine, Minos also returned from the council hall. He held her in his arms, buried his head in her shoulder and neck, smelling the bursts of fragrance emanating from her body, with a hint of milky scent that was more pronounced than before, which made him reluctant to let go, and all the dark emotions in his heart dissipated.
Peace of mind, satisfaction.
"The witch said that this child will be born in at most three months," Sang Luo said, pulling his slender palm and touching her round belly.
Minos hummed softly, his eyes gentle, "About what I expected."
"Do you like sons or daughters?"
"What about you?"
"I carried it so hard, of course I like them all!"
"You gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins for Fei Yuan." Minos looked at her with burning eyes.
Sang Luo chuckled, "It's not always so lucky!" She counted, "For the King Beast race, if it weren't for the special restrictions of twins like Little Qi and his sister, it would all be one child per pregnancy. Only Fei Yuan was lucky enough to give birth to two cubs, male and female."
"The two siblings? Your two Teng Snake children are not twins in the rules." Minos explained, "The so-called twins of the Teng Snake clan are actually just one offspring. The offspring differentiates into two identical embryos in the middle of gestation, and each shares half of the bloodline power. Only after the souls and bones of both sides merge can they become the complete offspring that was initially conceived. The two children you gave birth to are male and female, so they are naturally impossible to come from the same embryo. They are dizygotic dragon and phoenix twins, each with complete bloodline power."
Sang Luo suddenly slapped her forehead. She didn't think so much back then, and thought that the two children were twins. No wonder Quan Jin was so happy when the children were born, and was convinced that the two children were offspring with complete bloodlines.
In that case, her probability of conceiving twins is quite high.
"It's just those two pregnancies, the other children are not, so don't have too much hope, you won't be happy if you only give birth to one."
Minos lowered his head and kissed her lips, smiling beautifully, "No matter how many you give birth to, I will be equally happy."
Three months passed quickly.
When Sang Luo's belly was about to burst, she finally felt the pain.
At two or three in the middle of the night, she was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by a burst of tearing pain, letting out a scream, her face instantly turning pale, and beads of cold sweat slid from her forehead, soaking the quilt beneath her.
Minos had a premonition and hadn't slept these past few nights, and immediately carried Sang Luo directly to the delivery room.
The witches, who had been instructed in advance, had also prepared the medicines and tools.
Fei Yuan also came after receiving the message, and gave Sang Luo a pain-free pill.
The pain in her body disappeared instantly.
Minos wiped her whole body clean.
Sang Luo's sense of pain was immunized, but she could still feel the spasms in her belly, and her whole body was weak and unable to exert any strength. Minos held her hand tightly, his face unable to hide his worry, "Luo Luo..."
Nothing will happen, he has prepared everything, she and the child will be born safely.
Sang Luo looked at his beautiful wrist with distinct joints, and used her last bit of strength to bite down.
Her belly dropped forcefully, Sang Luo's eyes went black, and she passed out.
