Heifeng stood before Bai Linglong, accompanied by six carefully trained female Hidden Guards, who stood in a neat and solemn line.
Heifeng knelt on one knee, speaking respectfully, “Master, as you are about to give birth, these six ladies are skilled and attentive. Keeping them by your side will ensure your safety, and they will provide thoughtful daily service.”
Bai Linglong gently stroked her prominently rounded belly and nodded slightly. “Very well, let them transition from Hidden Guards to visible maids. Being open will allow them to live more freely, as the Hidden Guard’s duties can often be restrictive.”
Upon hearing this, the six former Hidden Guards immediately knelt down and bowed their heads. The leader spoke with excitement, “Thank you for your grace, Master! To serve you in the open is a blessing we have earned over several lifetimes!”
Bai Linglong examined them thoughtfully and spoke, “You, from now on, shall be called Jing Shu. May you be calm and composed, ensuring the tranquility of this household.”
The designated Jing Shu had tears glistening in her eyes as she bowed, saying, “Thank you for the name, Master. I will fulfill her duties without fail.”
“You are Ling Yue, and I hope you bring vivacity and wisdom, adding laughter to this household and dispelling any gloom.” Bai Linglong turned her gaze to another former Hidden Guard.
“Thank you for the name, Master. I will do my utmost.” Ling Yue responded cheerfully.
“You shall be called Min Xiu. You are sharp-witted and beautiful, and your contributions will be essential for the household affairs.” Min Xiu hurriedly bowed her head, saying, “Thank you for the name, Master. I will give my all.”
“And you, Hui Qiao, with your clever demeanor, I trust you to be astute and capable. I will rely on you for the daily chores of the household.” Bai Linglong smiled as she spoke.
“Thank you for the name, Master. I will work diligently,” Hui Qiao replied, her face filled with gratitude.
“As for you, your name will be An Lan. I wish for your life to be safe and stable, so our household can remain peaceful and secure.” Bai Linglong spoke softly.
An Lan’s eyes glistened with emotion. “Thank you for the name, Master. I will protect you and the household’s safety.”
“Lastly, you shall be named Wan Qing. You should be gentle and upright, and in dealing with others, maintain your principles and boundaries.” Bai Linglong said and smiled.
Wan Qing smiled and said “Thank you for the name, Master. I will maintain my principles and boundaries.”
Meanwhile, in Taohua Town, the townspeople were equally astonished, standing frozen in place. The streets erupted with chatter.
An elderly man, his hair white as snow, pointed at the sky with trembling hands, his voice quivering, “This is a sign of suspiciousness! Certainly, a lucky star is descending upon us; something great is about to happen in Taohua Town!”
A young man beside him exclaimed with excitement, “In all my years, I’ve never seen such a phenomenon! It seems like our lives are about to get much better!”
At Bai Linglong’s residence, outside the delivery room, Heifeng, Zhao Gang, Wang Meng, Doctor Zhang, and a host of Hidden Guards stood anxiously by the door, their brows furrowed, faces tense.
They focused intently on the closed door, afraid to breathe, straining to hear even the faintest sound.
Inside the delivery room, Xiaocui stood beside Bai Linglong. She was not only Bai Linglong’s maid but also her devoted disciple.
Xiaocui nervously twisted a handkerchief, beads of sweat dotting her forehead. She glanced at Bai Linglong, who lay on the bed, her voice trembling, “Sister please hold on; it should be over soon.”
Bai Linglong felt waves of intense pain wash over her, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead, soaking the pillow beneath her. She bit her lip, gripping the bedsheets tightly, her nails turning white from the pressure.
Just when the pain threatened to overwhelm her, a thought flashed through Bai Linglong’s mind, and she suddenly entered the spatial hospital together with Xiaocui. Upon entering the space, familiar high-tech equipment and soft lighting greeted them.
Xiaocui’s eyes widened in shock, but Bai Linglong couldn’t take the time to explain. With a thought, a bottle of spiritual spring water appeared in her hand. She hurriedly drank the spiritual water, and in an instant, a refreshing sensation spread throughout her body.
The surging pain diminished rapidly, until it completely vanished, leaving her feeling energized. In the spatial hospital, the robotic assistants sprang into action, while Xiaocui calmed herself and diligently followed the knowledge Bai Linglong had previously taught her to assist.
Bai Linglong exerted herself, emitting cries of pain.Finally, a loud wail shattered the silence of the space—the first baby boy was born. Following closely, the second and third baby boys also arrived, the last one to arrive is baby girl and each of them was crying out in the world. The cries of the four babies intertwined, vibrant and full of life.
Bai Linglong closed her eyes in exhaustion but wore a blissful smile on her face. After resting briefly in the spatial hospital, Bai Linglong, along with Xiaocui and the four babies, returned to her original room.
Outside the room, Heifeng and the others were pacing anxiously, worry etched on their faces.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Xiaocui peeked her head out, beaming with joy. “She’s has given birth! and both mother and children are safe!”
The tension in everyone’s hearts finally eased, and they let out long sighs of relief.
The maids, including Wan Qing and Jing Shu, eagerly rushed into the delivery room, gathering around the bed to admire the adorable, rosy babies swaddled in blankets, their eyes filled with surprise and affection.
“This little boy’s hands are so tiny, just like little buns!” Ling Yue gently pinched the baby boy’s small hand, laughing.
Min Xiu chimed in, “And this little girl is truly beautiful; she’ll definitely grow up to be a great beauty!”
Heifeng and the others were also eager to step in and see, but they hesitated, fearing they might disturb Bai Linglong. They lingered at the doorway, stealing glances into the delivery room.
Hui Qiao noticed their curiosity and rushed out to ask, “Heifeng, do you all want to come in and see the babies?”
Heifeng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Yes, we do want to, but we’re worried about disturbing them.”
With that, they cautiously entered the delivery room and approached Bai Linglong’s bedside.
Looking at the four adorable babies, Heifeng’s eyes glistened with emotion. “Congratulations, My lady, on the birth of both sons and daughter! Our little courtyard is going to be even livelier now.”
Zhao Gang clasped his hands together and said, “Indeed, Master, you’ve worked hard. Just look at these little treasures; they’re destined for greatness.”
Wang Meng grinned broadly, “Master, if you ever need us to run errands or help out, just let us know!”
Bai Linglong nodded with a smile. “Thank you all for watching over me. From now on, let’s raise these children well together.”
At that moment, the Emperor’s dispatched Hidden Guards were searching everywhere in Taohua Town but found no leads. The townspeople only knew a good omen had appeared; none connected it to Bai Linglong’s childbirth.
The Hidden Guards had no choice but to report the strange celestial phenomenon and their lack of findings back to the Emperor.
The Emperor looked at the secret report, his brow furrowed into curved shape, pondering deeply: This lucky star descending—could it be a blessing or a curse? And where exactly has it descended? I must investigate thoroughly.
Meanwhile, at a renowned ancient temple in At Lingyin Temple in the capital, Master Xuankong was meditating in his Zen chamber.
Suddenly, he sensed a peculiar wave of spiritual energy. Opening his eyes, he gazed in the direction of Taohua Town, a look of joy appearing on his face and said. “Good, good! A lucky star has descended; the Southern Kingdom shall prosper!”
He immediately instructed his disciples, “Spread this news far and wide, so that the world may know this is a sign of heaven’s protection over our Southern Kingdom.”
However, as the news spread, people could only speculate, and no one was able to connect the extraordinary phenomenon with Bai Linglong.
The excitement and curiosity surrounding the event continued to grow, while Bai Linglong and her newborns began a new chapter in their lives, filled with hope and blessings
