No matter how many people outside advised Tang Rao, telling him that it was unlucky for men to enter the delivery room and that he would be jinxed, for You Xiaoxiao, the woman who bore him two children, he had to go in and see her. It was the least he owed his conscience.
"What's everyone doing, where are the doctors? Bring the best doctors from inside and outside Zijing City."
Tang Rao entered the room; You Xiaoxiao was covered in blood from head to toe, and the sheets were soaked. A man who was never afraid of blood, seeing his woman risking her life to give birth to his child, was terrified.
He feared that You Xiaoxiao might suddenly tell him she couldn't make it, that he'd have to raise the child alone in the future, and he was afraid that after this, there would be no more fate between them.
"Xiao Xiao, look at me, look at my face, don't fall asleep, don't close your eyes. If you close your eyes, you'll never see me again. Who will care for you and look after you in the future? Listen, our daughter looks like you, mischievous and cute. Our son looks like me, handsome and charming, with potential. As their mother, you wouldn't want to shirk responsibility, would you?"
Although You Xiaoxiao heard everything Tang Rao said, she was too exhausted, hearing his voice yet having no strength to open her eyes.
The best doctors from inside and outside Zijing City arrived, someone outside joyfully exclaimed that the Divine Doctor had arrived and the lady was saved, while Tang Rao wondered which miraculous doctor had come. Upon hearing footsteps, he turned around and saw it wasn't a miraculous doctor, but Wen Jinjin rushing in carrying a large medical box.
"Husband, it's all my fault. I knew it was Xiao Xiao's delivery today, yet I was out treating other patients. Xiao Xiao will certainly be fine, bless the righteous."
Wen Jinjin said comforting words to cheer Tang Rao up, easing his anxiety a little.
However, these comforting words weren't made up; if there were someone near death in the room, the first thing she would smell would be the scent of death, but there was no such scent in the room.
"You first look at her, Xiao Xiao is a hero of the Tang Family, and this hero hasn't been rewarded yet. How can she lie here like this?"
Tang Rao stepped aside to make space for Wen Jinjin, who sat by the bed, and when she lifted the blanket, she almost couldn't hold back her tears.
"Jinjin, is Xiao Xiao okay?"
Wen Jinjin quickly placed a piece of ancient ginseng into You Xiaoxiao's mouth. Consuming the ginseng could replenish her blood and energy first, providing strength for further treatment.
Taking her pulse, it was too weak. But after the ancient ginseng, the feeble pulse finally showed signs of improvement.
"Her pulse is very weak, she lost too much blood. I need to constantly provide her with immortal energy as supplementation, but her body is too depleted, and I don't have enough immortal energy on me. How can we solve this?"
Her intention was that she didn't have enough immortal energy and needed to find help to provide it. But as soon as she spoke, Tang Rao was already beside You Xiaoxiao, holding her hand, "I have enough immortal energy. You just need to treat her well; leave the rest to me."
What, Tang Rao using his immortal energy? Wen Jinjin and You Xiaoxiao never expected Tang Rao would voluntarily offer his own immortal energy.
The more powerful the immortal energy, the more precious it is, which means Tang Rao's cultivation progress might slow down or even stop. If he gives his immortal energy to You Xiaoxiao, whether he can maintain his peak strength is questionable, and whether he can recover the lost energy is another matter. It's undeniable that Tang Rao's decision seems rather impulsive.
"You? No way, you barely reached the peak of the late god stage. Just a bit more, and you'll enter a new realm. If anything happens to you, what would the Kao Shan Sect rely on?"
Wen Jinjin seemed fragile but she was clear on the boundary issues.
"Kao Shan Sect has Cha Xiangzi and Geng Bucuo. Under their management, the sect is mature and doesn't need my constant worry. Xiao Xiao's life is important. Trust me, Tang Rao never makes unprepared decisions. If you believe me, get started quickly, or Xiao Xiao's condition might worsen."
Perhaps worried that Wen Jinjin might still be hesitant, Tang Rao connected his immortal energy with You Xiaoxiao's. Under the pressure of the stronger energy, You Xiaoxiao's energy immediately relented, and Tang Rao's energy continuously flowed into her body.
"Tang Rao, you're so foolish. I, You Xiaoxiao, have always been causing you trouble and angering you. Any other man would've wanted me dead by now, yet you still use your immortal energy to save me. Aren't you being the utmost fool?"
You Xiaoxiao wished she could scold Tang Rao into waking up, advising him that it's still not too late to stop. If he waited longer, his energy would be overdrawn, and he wouldn't be able to regret.
"I want to."
Tang Rao's grip on You Xiaoxiao's hand suddenly tightened significantly. After hearing his manly "I want to," You Xiaoxiao's tears began falling uncontrollably.
"The names for the kids are chosen. The girl is named Tang Xiaoxiao, and the boy is Tang Lele, similar to yours, easy to remember."
Tang Xiaoxiao, Tang Lele?
Those names are indeed similar to You Xiaoxiao's. Tang Rao's seemingly simple naming might have more meanings behind it.
Xiao Xiao, Lele, he probably wished for his children to live happily from birth.
"Tang Rao, do you really not blame me for being capricious in the past?"
Having been accustomed to being whimsical and overbearing, You Xiaoxiao looked different now in her weakness. To Tang Rao, she seemed like a completely changed person, that woman walking out of despair; even her palms felt warmer.
Tang Rao remembered talking a lot to You Xiaoxiao while transferring his True Qi. He also remembered Wen Jinjin sweating as she treated You Xiaoxiao. Slowly, the subsequent events faded from his memory, as he had output too much energy, and his immortal energy filled an abyss, leaving him too weak, resulting in his body collapsing beside the bed, then rolling to the floor.
"Tang Rao!"
"Tang Rao!"
You Xiaoxiao's bleeding was stopped, but she remained weak, needing a long recovery, unlike normal people, post-childbirth. What's more, her situation was different from other mothers; upon stimulation, she immediately fainted.
"Xiao Xiao, You Xiaoxiao?"
