After Yang Kai knocked on the door for a long time, he finally heard some noises coming from the house. Given his hearing ability, he was aware that the person inside the house was cursing.

When the door was opened, a middle-aged woman stuck out her head. With a pair of sleepy eyes, she frowned at Yang Kai and yawned, Whats wrong? Why did you knock on my door in the middle of the night?

Yang Kai took a step back and cupped his fist, Im sorry, Madame. Lady Yu is about to give birth, so Grandma wants you to come over.

Lady Yu? For a moment, the midwife didnt remember who the person was, but she soon recalled it, The woman from the East of the town?

Exactly. Yang Kai hurriedly nodded.

The midwife nodded, Grandma Zhou already told me about it. Isnt her due date still a few days away? Why is she going to give birth tonight?

The rain is torrential tonight, and something happened to Lady Yus house. Perhaps she was too frightened, which is why the baby is coming earlier than expected.

The midwife didnt seem to be concerned as she was experienced in delivering babies. She then waved her hand and said, Got it. You can go back now.

Arent you coming with me? Yang Kai was shocked.

The midwife replied with a smile, The child wont come out so soon as she has just started showing signs of giving birth. Even if I go over now, theres nothing I can do. Ill attend to her in the morning.

Upon finis.h.i.+ng her words, she was ready to close the door.

Yang Kai immediately took a step forward and grabbed the door before saying anxiously, Lady Yu had already started bleeding before I left. Im worried that you cant wait until morning!

The midwife examined him and curled up her lips, Why are you so concerned about the young lady? Are you the childs Father?

Yang Kai wasnt in the mood to talk about such nonsense with her. Recalling the instructions given by Grandma Zhou, he fished out a packet of money and pa.s.sed it to her, Please lend her your a.s.sistance, Madame.

The midwife took the packet and weighed it with her hand before putting it inside her pocket. She then said impatiently, Just listen to me. Im experienced in delivering babies. It wont be too late when I go over in the morning. Ill take up the responsibility if anything happens to her. Moreover, the rain is pouring right now, so how am I supposed to head over there? Ill fall sick before I even reach her place.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows, Do you mean youll come if theres no rain?

The midwife scoffed, Whats wrong? Do you think you can stop the rain?

When she said the last word, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by shock. That was because the pouring rain stopped in an abrupt manner. Besides that, the dark clouds soon dissipated and revealed a bright Moon, which cast its glow down on the world.

The midwife looked up at the sky in confusion and puzzlement.

Madame, a life is at stake! Yang Kai stared fixedly at her while persuading her to come with him.

Both astounded and doubtful, the midwife gazed at him. Suddenly thinking of something, she shuddered and said in a fl.u.s.tered manner, Wait a moment. Ill get ready now.

Yang Kai nodded.

Soon after, the midwife, who had now put on some proper clothing, rushed towards the East of the town alongside Yang Kai.

When they arrived at Grandmas house, they could hear a shriek breaking through the darkness. Upon entering the place, Yang Kai yelled, The midwife is here, Grandma!

Grandma said, Come in quickly!

Yang Kai took a glance at the midwife, who s.h.i.+vered under his gaze, and dashed into the room as though she was afraid of him.

He could almost feel Yu Lus pain when he heard her wailing.

It never crossed his mind that a woman had to go through so much agony to give birth to a child, which made him realise the fragility of life and how hard it was to bring a new life into the world.

Yang Boy, boil some water! Grandma Zhou ordered from the back of the house.

Yang Kai grunted in response and went to the kitchen to boil some water.

An incense stick later, Grandma repeatedly took out a basin of bloodied water from the room and poured it into the ditch. On the other hand, Yu Lus voice gradually weakened.

Just then, the midwife was heard saying, Theres nothing else I can do, Grandma Zhou. For a pregnant woman, its no different from heading towards deaths door when shes having difficulty giving birth and bleeding excessively, Lady Yu is struck with both. Even a deity cant save her now.

Cant you think of anything else to help her? Grandma asked anxiously.

The midwife replied, What else can I do? Lady Yu might stand a chance to survive if we can invite a great expert from Seven Stars Sect over, but now all I can say is that I can only try my best to save the child.

Seven Stars Sect is too far from here. There isnt enough time. Grandma shook her head inside the room. Her turbid eyes appeared dejected.

Save save my child Yu Lus voice was intermittent.

Outside the room, Yang Kai ordered in a small voice, Mu Zhu, Mu Lu, go in to help her and stabilise her vitality.

Upon hearing that, the two worried Wood Spirits, who had been sitting on his shoulders, instantly flapped their wings and dashed into the room in silence.

As a thought flashed through Yang Kais mind, a large amount of vitality in the Small Universe streamed into the room.

An hour later, a baby was heard crying so loudly that it was as though everyone in this world could hear it. In the meantime, a strange phenomenon took place in the sky as the Moonlight converged and beamed into Yu Lus room. The entire World seemed to be shaking.

However, with the interference from Yang Kai, no one else could notice the strange phenomenon other than himself.

She successfully gave birth to the child! The midwife sounded pleasantly surprised while Grandma let out a breath of relief.

Right then, Mu Lu flew out of the room in silence. Her reddened eyes suggested that she was deeply moved by the incident inside the room. She nodded at Yang Kai to mean that everything was fine, then returned to the room.

The people inside the room were still very busy. A moment later, the midwife shuffled out while giving some instructions to Grandma Zhou, Dont let her come into contact with water and wind for a month. Shes lucky enough to have escaped from death once, but if she doesnt take good care of herself, she might be struck with health concerns.

Grandma replied with a smile, Although Ive never given birth to a child before, Im aware of the precautions we should take. Many thanks for saving her.

The midwife initially wanted to get more money from her, but when she saw Yang Kai standing outside the room, she shuddered and hurriedly said, Dont mention it. Its my job.

Grandma looked up at Yang Kai and ordered, Yang Boy, prepare another red envelope for her.

A ready Yang Kai fished out a packet of money and pa.s.sed it to her with both hands, Many thanks, Madame.

The midwife hurriedly waved her hands, Theres no need for that. Ive already taken a red envelope before, so I cant take another one now.

Upon finis.h.i.+ng her words, she dashed out without turning her head.

Watching her leave, Grandma praised her by saying, Shes indeed adept at delivering children. Lady Yu was about to leave this plane, but she was able to pull her through in the end. Not only was she fine, but her child has also been safely delivered. We cant be stingy with this. You have to send her a red envelope later. She has saved two lives after all.

Alright, Grandma. Dont worry, Ill send it to her tomorrow. Yang Kai quickly nodded, then said in a small voice, Grandma, is it a boy or a girl?

Its a boy. Grandma put on a smile, In that case, Lady Yu has given birth to a descendant for the Zhao Family. Ill take care of her. You should get some rest since you were busy for the entire night.

You should get some rest as well, Grandma, Yang Kai said caringly.

The next morning, Yang Kai went over to the midwifes place and kept persuading her to accept the red envelope. Then, he left the town to catch some fish from the river.

When he returned, he saw Grandma leaving the house with the child as she said, Lady Yu said its thanks to you who endured the pouring rain and invited the midwife over that she and her child were safe. She has no idea how to thank you, so she wants you to have a look at the child.

Yang Kai hurriedly put down the fish and wiped his hands dry before carefully taking the child.

Perhaps the child was full, so he was presently sound asleep. There was no doubt that he was adorable.

While holding him in his arms, Yang Kai could clearly feel that the s.p.a.ce Dao Essence of his Small Universe perfectly matched the childs aura. It was even slowly streaming into his little body.

Yang Kai had already realised it when the little one was still in his Mothers womb; otherwise, he wouldnt have been so concerned about Yu Lu.

Grandma Zhou thought that he had his eyes on the young woman, but he was actually interested in her child the whole time; however, it was hard for him to explain such things.

[Ive finally found a successor!] That was the idea that suddenly sprang into Yang Kais mind.

He had never expected he would gain such a benefit one day by raising living beings in his Small Universe. Given the fact that the childs aura perfectly matched the s.p.a.ce Dao Essence, he definitely had the right to become Yang Kais Legacy Disciple. If the boy was talented and hardworking, he would one day stand on par with Yang Kai when it came to the mastery over the Dao of s.p.a.ce.

Since Yang Kai was still young, he wasnt in a rush to look for a Legacy Disciple; therefore, he had never thought about it before.

However, since a suitable successor had appeared, he wouldnt mind spending some time to train him.

The child was born the day before, so his skin was still rather wrinkled. Yang Kai had never held such a pet.i.te baby in his arms before, so despite being a powerful Sixth-Order Open Heaven Master, he was presently quite fl.u.s.tered. He was worried that he might harm the child if he exerted a little more force.

To his side, Grandma Zhou instructed him on the correct way to carry a child, which made Yang Kai feel quite embarra.s.sed.

If youre fine with it, you should give the child a name, Grandma Zhou suddenly said.

A surprised Yang Kai asked, Is it alright for me to do that?

Although he intended to take on this child to be his Disciple, they were not related in any way after all. Hence, he didnt think he had a right to name him.

Grandma Zhou pointed at the back room and explained, Its Lady Yus idea. She doesnt know how to name a child, nor do I. The childs Father suddenly pa.s.sed away in an accident, and he hadnt said anything about it before his death. So, youll have to do it. It seems that you did go to school before. Just help her out with it.

Upon hearing that, Yang Kai stopped turning her down. After giving it a thought, he said, The child was born at the break of dawn while the Sun was rising from the East. Why dont I name him Ye Bai? Since his surname is Zhao, hell be Zhao Ye Bai!

He spoke in a loud voice so that Yu Lu could hear him in the room.

Grandma nodded her head, The break of dawn signifies the end of hards.h.i.+p. Its an auspicious name. What do you think, Lady Yu?

Yu Lus weakened voice was heard saying, Its decided, then. Many thanks, Big Brother Yang.

Yang Kai replied with a smile, Its not really a good name. I hope he wont blame me for that when he grows up.

Yu Lu said, Im sure he wont.

Grandma took the child from Yang Kai, The child is still young, so he cant stay outside of the house for too long. Ill take him back to the room.

Ill cook the fish, then. Yang Kai then picked up his catch and walked to the kitchen.
