Chapter 4 Surprise Attack
Countless memories receded like a tide, but the air in the sealed room remained cold.
Chen Pingping's fingertips turned slightly white from the force she exerted.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you know..."
What you are giving up today is not just a woman, but the most brilliant light of this era.
His heart was filled with endless worry and piercing pain.
He knew that once Emperor Qing made up his mind, no one could stop him.
Ye Qingmei, the woman he admired most and wanted to protect most in his life, is walking step by step into a carefully woven death trap.
But he could only watch helplessly from this distant northern border.
This feeling of powerlessness almost consumed him.
"Qingmei, if there is an afterlife, I hope I will never meet a royal family again. This time, I have failed you."
A soft sigh dissipated into the thick darkness of the night, carrying with it endless sorrow.
············
The cultivation within the womb continues.
Ye Tian was like a tireless perpetual motion machine, frantically absorbing innate essence to temper his physical body and soul.
The operation of the Chaos Divine Grinding Visualization Method made his divine soul power increasingly pure and strong.
He also mastered the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique to the peak of the first level in a short period of time thanks to his extraordinary comprehension!
He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within his small body.
Like a sleeping ancient giant elephant, it could awaken at any moment and unleash earth-shattering power!
"Not enough, not enough!"
Ye Tian cried out in his heart.
With that life-or-death crisis drawing ever closer, he must seize every second to become stronger!
Only then can we save my mother!
"System, can I still sign in?"
He called on the system again, hoping to get more information.
[Ding! The host is in a special state, "On the Eve of Childbirth," meeting the special check-in requirements.]
[Sign in now?]
"Special check-in?"
Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat; this sounded more sophisticated than the usual sign-in process.
"Check in now!"
He did not hesitate.
[Ding! Successfully checked in during the special "Eve of Labor" status!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a special reward: the God-Slaying Needle (a one-time consumable)!]
The God-Slaying Needle?
Ye Tian was shocked. Just by hearing the name, he knew that this thing was extraordinary!
A message flooded his mind like a tidal wave.
The God-Slaying Needle: Forged from the finest Void Divine Iron, infused with the aura of the Nine Netherworlds, it takes ten thousand years to complete. Formless and traceless, it specifically targets the soul. Once unleashed, it can invisibly and severely damage the enemy's soul, causing them to instantly lose their senses, or even have their soul annihilated. The stronger the enemy's soul, the more pronounced the effect.
"nice one!"
A brilliant light flashed in Ye Tian's eyes.
This magic-killing needle is practically a killer weapon tailor-made for the impending crisis!
Invisible and traceless, it specifically harms the soul!
This means that he can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy without them even realizing it!
Whether it's Emperor Qing, the Empress, or those enemies lurking in the shadows, as long as they dare to harm Mother, this slaying needle will be a "surprise" for them!
Although it is a disposable item, it can be enough to turn the tide in a critical moment!
Ye Tian carefully integrated this invisible God-Slaying Needle into his own divine soul essence to nurture it.
He could feel that the needle exuded a chillingly sharp aura, as if it could pierce the sky!
With this magic needle as his trump card, Ye Tian felt even more confident.
······················
Time slips away unnoticed.
The atmosphere at Taiping Villa gradually became tense.
Ye Qingmei's due date has finally arrived.
"ah--"
A suppressed cry of pain rang out from the delivery room, tugging at everyone's heartstrings.
Wu Zhu stood guard outside the delivery room like a statue.
Those eyes covered by a black cloth
He kept staring at the tightly closed door, radiating a chill that was even colder than usual.
If anyone dares to harm the people inside at this moment,
He will not hesitate to make them pay with their lives!
Inside the delivery room,
The experienced midwives were busy, their foreheads glistening with fine beads of sweat.
Ye Qingmei lay on the delivery bed, her face pale, her hair soaked with sweat, but her eyes remained bright and resolute.
She could feel the two little lives inside her trying hard to come into this world.
"Go, babies!"
Ye Qingmei gritted her teeth, enduring the waves of excruciating pain, but her heart was filled with longing and joy for the new life.
"Push! Madam, give it your all!" the midwife encouraged from the side.
Ye Qingmei took a deep breath, gathering all her strength. ...
"Wow--"
Finally, a loud and powerful cry resounded throughout the entire Taiping Villa!
The cry, filled with the power of life, dispelled all tension and unease.
"It's born! It's born! It's a boy!" the midwife exclaimed in delight.
Ye Tian has finally arrived in this world!
He escaped much more easily than expected, "slipping" out of the warm embrace with almost no effort.
From the moment he was born, he opened his bright eyes and curiously looked around at this brand new world.
Unlike the confusion and fragility of ordinary babies, his eyes were clear and deep, as if they contained the stars and the sea.
Then, not long after.
"Wow--"
Another cry rang out, though slightly weaker than Ye Tian's first, it was equally full of vitality.
Fan Xian was born smoothly.
"It's another boy! Congratulations, Madam! It's twins, no, it's two boys!" The midwife was so excited that she was almost incoherent.
Looking at the two tiny infants, wrapped up neatly and placed side by side beside her, Ye Qingmei's pale face revealed a relieved smile, her eyes sparkling with maternal radiance.
"My children,"
She reached out her slightly trembling hand and gently stroked their soft cheeks.
The older brother was born first, and the younger brother was born later.
Ye Tian is the older brother, and Fan Xian is the younger brother.
"very nice·······"
Ye Qingmei's voice was somewhat weak, yet it was filled with an indescribable happiness and contentment.
She could sense that both children were very healthy and full of life.
Especially the first one born, Ye Tian, his energy and spirit were so vigorous that he didn't seem like a newborn baby.
He stared at her with his big, dark eyes, his lips smacking twice as if he were savoring something.
That appearance was so cute and lively that it almost melted Ye Qingmei's heart.
"From now on, you two will be the older and younger brothers."
Ye Qingmei spoke softly, her eyes filled with anticipation for the future.
"You must love each other, you know?"
At this moment, she was completely immersed in the joy of becoming a mother for the first time.
They temporarily forgot about the storms and potential crises in the outside world.
All she wanted to do was look at her child and feel the wonderful sensation of being connected by blood.
Ye Tian quietly watched his young and beautiful mother.
This is his mother in this life, Ye Qingmei.
A legendary woman.
He could feel the deep love and tenderness emanating from her.
"Mother, don't worry."
"With me here, no one can hurt you!"
Ye Tian said silently in his heart,
A hint of determination and maturity beyond his years flashed in the baby's eyes.
He knew that the real test had only just begun.
··················
Just as Taiping Villa was immersed in the joy of new life.
Deep within the palace, Emperor Qing's icy voice rang out once more.
"Send word to Ye Zhong: proceed to Dingzhou immediately to reinforce the border troops. Do not delay!"
An urgent military order, like a death warrant, was swiftly sent to the Ye residence.
Ye Zhong, the nephew of Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, is the commander of the capital's garrison.
He is also the only member of the royal family who could potentially provide military support to Taiping Villa at a critical moment.
Transferring him away from the capital was undoubtedly the most ruthless move in Emperor Qing's plan.
Cut off the fuel supply at the root!
.
Night deepened.
The festive atmosphere at Taiping Villa had not yet completely dissipated.
However, an inexplicable killing intent surged in from all directions like a tide.
A chilling, oppressive atmosphere permeated the air.
Inside the delivery room, Ye Qingmei had just finished feeding her two children. Her face showed a hint of fatigue, but it was still beaming with a happy smile.
Ye Tian and Fan Xian, these two little guys, were exceptionally well-behaved. After eating and drinking their fill, they fell asleep quietly.
Suddenly, Wu Zhu, who had been quietly guarding outside the door, abruptly raised his head.
His eyes, covered by a black cloth, seemed to pierce through the wall, gazing at the distant horizon.
A powerful aura, so strong that it made him feel uneasy, was approaching at an alarming speed!
That wasn't the aura of an ordinary martial artist.
It was a power that transcended the mundane world, carrying a sacred yet cold connotation.
"Temple,"
Wu Zhu's lips moved slightly, uttering two words.
His hand unconsciously tightened around the iron shovel at his waist.
The next moment, several white figures appeared silently in the sky above Taiping Villa, like ghosts.
They wore strange white robes and had indifferent expressions on their faces, like otherworldly gods looking down on the mortal world.
The leader was exceptionally tall, radiating a suffocating aura of power.
His gaze locked onto the delivery room, his eyes devoid of any human emotion, filled only with icy killing intent.
"Ye Qingmei, a traitor to the temple, a blasphemer."
"Today, I have come to purify, guided by divine decree!"
The voice, devoid of any emotion, was like thunder from the heavens, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the courtyard.
"boom!"
A terrifying shockwave erupted from the white-robed man at the head, directly causing a large section of the courtyard wall to collapse!
Dust flew everywhere, and gravel flew in all directions!
"Protect the lady!"
The guards inside the villa were terrified by this oppressive aura.
But she remained loyal and stood guard in front of the delivery room.
However, their resistance appeared so pale and powerless before these temple messengers.
A man in white robes casually waved his hand.
An invisible force, like a sharp blade, swept past.
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Several guards were sent flying before they could even scream, spitting out blood, their fate unknown.
The gap in strength is too large!
"Wu Zhu!"
Inside the delivery room, Ye Qingmei's anxious cries could be heard.
She also sensed this terrifying aura that filled her with despair.
"Whoosh!"
A black bolt of lightning shot out from the delivery room!
Wu Zhu has finally made his move!
