She must raise her power if she wants to help Qianbei Ye!

At the very least, she must reach the Ninth Transformation State to stand a chance against Cang Ming...

Zuo Shangchen relaxed. He had been afraid that Gu Ruoyun would be unable to accept the situation but he had forgotten that she could not be compared to most women! Most women would probably have gone mad at a time like this yet she was so calm that it was frightening.

When Zuo Shangchen saw how Gu Ruoyun was pushing herself into cultivation, he refused to fall behind and quickly sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate as well...

Time passed quickly. The days and months flashed by as quickly as a weaver's shuttle.

To a cultivator, that period of time was as short as a snap of the fingers.

Even a pregnant cultivator would not need to consume food. The spiritual energy that they absorbed was the fetus' nourishment! Additionally, Gu Ruoyun's body was a little bit different from others. As a result, the child in her belly was a little bit different from most children...

Hence, though Gu Ruoyun could not see it, the child in her belly was also cultivating...

She stayed in closed-door cultivation for the entire nine months she was pregnant with the child. If it were not for the child's violent kicks in her stomach, she would not have stepped out from her cultivation...

"Xiao Yun'er."

Zuo Shangchen furrowed his brows when he looked at Gu Ruoyun. He instantly grew nervous, "Are you alright?"

"I feel that I'm about to give birth."

Gu Ruoyun took a deep breath and tried her best not to groan. However, her complexion was pale and sweat continued to stream down her face...

Zuo Shangchen was in a daze. "Is there anything that you need help with? I..."

"No need."

The woman shook her head. "Evildoer, step back for a moment, I can do this on my own."

Even though this evildoer likes men, that does not change the fact that he was still a man. At a time like this, it was inconvenient to have him around!

"Alright."

Zuo Shangchen nodded. He then turned around and headed to a nearby spot. He kept his back towards Gu Ruoyun the entire time and said, "Xiao Yun'er, just say the word if you need my help. There's no need for you to be courteous with me. Besides, your man can't be with you now because of me so I can't just leave you to face this alone."

Gu Ruoyun smiled.

However, her smile was brittle.

"Don't worry, we are cultivators and we aren't like most people. We don't need outside assistance even in matters like giving birth."

Most importantly, Zuo Shangchen was still a man...

Zuo Shangchen did not say anything else but his eyes were filled with anxiety. Clearly, he could not stop worrying about Gu Ruoyun.

Just as Gu Ruoyun had said, as a cultivator, giving birth all on her own was not an issue! Each time she felt as though her physical strength could not endure it, she would use martial arts to absorb the spiritual energy around her.

The spiritual energy gradually replenished her vigor...

"Little one."

Gu Ruoyun gently caressed her belly as the corners of her lips curled into a gentle smile. She then spoke in a tender voice, "Mother still needs to cultivate. Only when I've reached the Ninth Transformation State can I go to save your father. You can stop throwing tantrums and quickly come out. I don't have a lot of time to waste on this..."

The little one in her belly stopped its violent kicks as if it had heard what Gu Ruoyun whispered to it. It then squeezed itself into the outside world with all of its might...

With her child's rapport, Gu Ruoyun did not need to waste too much energy and allowed the baby to leave her belly. It was a successful birth...
