After a great war, peace was established between humans and beasts. Six months later, Yun Sheng, pregnant and living in a village, cares for her comatose husband, Ye Beiming. Meanwhile, Ye Beiming encounters the previous owner of the Life and Death Talisman in a special chaotic space, who offers him a chance to return at a price. Ye Beiming awakens to find himself back beside Yun Sheng.

It had been several days since Ye Beiming woke up.

Ever since Ye Beiming woke up, Yun Sheng’s mood had improved considerably. She ate well and slept well every day, and her belly seemed to be growing bigger by the day.

By the time she was more than seven months pregnant, her belly was already larger than that of a full-term pregnant woman.

To prevent future complications during childbirth, Yun Sheng, being a modern person with modern medical knowledge, knew that she needed to exercise appropriately, such as taking strolls.

So every morning and evening, Yun Sheng would take a walk around the village.

"Little Wildcat, you’re about to give birth. You shouldn’t be wandering around the Medicine Field." Therefore, every day, there would be a scene in Banana Leaf Village: a tall, handsome man anxiously following around a heavily pregnant woman, guarding her like a mother hen, afraid that she might trip or get hurt.

"Ye Hu, how many times have I told you, there are still several months until the due date. Are you the doctor or am I the doctor?" Yun Sheng said as she touched her belly, disgruntled.

She was only more than seven months pregnant, still far from labor.

The villagers, upon seeing them, would smile knowingly. One was protective, and the other was fierce like a tiger, but everyone was used to it.

However, an unexpected event occurred one night. Suddenly, Yun Sheng felt intense pain in her belly. By the time Ye Beiming realized something was wrong, her water had already broken.

"Yun Sheng, don’t worry, I’ll go get the doctor right away." Even Ye Beiming, who could kill on the battlefield without batting an eye, was at a loss at this time.

"Come back, where can you find a doctor? Aren’t I the only doctor in the entire Banana Leaf Village?" Yun Sheng felt the wetness beneath her and, seeing Ye Beiming’s helpless expression, felt a sense of despair.

"What should we do? Little Wildcat, can you deliver the baby by yourself?" Ye Beiming’s usual sly wit was nowhere to be found.

"You fool, haven’t you heard the saying ’A doctor cannot treat themselves’?" Yun Sheng, in pain, grabbed Ye Beiming’s hand tightly.

"I’ll take you to the city immediately." Ye Beiming was frantically considering whether instant teleportation or flying would be faster.

"I can’t hold on anymore, I’m about to give birth. Go get Ji Ru Mo." Yun Sheng’s mind remained somewhat clear, realizing that Ji Ru Mo, being a Light Mage, might have magic that could alleviate pain and stop bleeding.

Ji Ru Mo!

Ye Beiming snapped out of his stupor instantly.

"No way! You’re having a baby, what’s that guy meddling for?!" Ye Beiming exploded with anger. Despite all his precautions against the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, he should have buried that damned mirror long ago.

"Damn fox, I’m in so much pain!" Yun Sheng was too exhausted to argue with this jealous man.

"Tell me the steps, and I’ll deliver the baby." In a moment of impulse, Ye Beiming rolled up his sleeves.

So what if it’s delivering a baby? As the Regent King of Great Zhou, he could govern the court with civility and secure the nation with martial prowess. He refused to believe that he couldn’t handle something as simple as delivering a baby!

Yun Sheng was speechless; this jealous Ye Hu was so stubborn, with no other choice at hand.

Fortunately, to facilitate her medical practice, she had a whole set of surgical tools made, which were more than enough for delivering a baby.

Half an hour passed, and when a loud cry of a baby emerged from the room, both Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng sighed in relief.

Ye Beiming, following Yun Sheng’s instructions, cut the umbilical cord and even tied a knot.

"Ye Hu, I didn’t expect you to have a talent for medicine." Yun Sheng, though a bit weary, was still in good spirits.

Seeing no response from Ye Beiming, Yun Sheng was somewhat puzzled.

"What’s wrong? Is the baby a boy or a girl?" Although Yun Sheng already knew she was carrying a daughter, Ye Beiming’s reaction made her uneasy.

"It’s a very beautiful baby girl, but..." Ye Beiming gazed at the little one in his arms.

This was the first time Ye Beiming held such a small newborn.

The little one couldn’t be called beautiful. Being a preemie, she weighed just over six pounds, her skin red and wrinkled, like a little kitten, not pretty at all.

But even so, in Ye Beiming’s eyes, she was the most beautiful baby in the world because she was his daughter, his and Yun Sheng’s daughter. The subtle connection of blood made him feel inexplicably excited.

But that excitement vanished the moment he noticed what was on the baby’s arm.

Ye Beiming’s hand started trembling slightly.

"She bears the mark of a Life and Death Talisman." Ji Ru Mo emerged from the Heavenly Destiny Mirror.

If it were any other time, Ye Beiming would have shouted for him to return to where he came from and not disturb their family moments, but now, he couldn’t say anything.

"What?" Yun Sheng, regardless of her postnatal condition, tried to sit up.

Ye Beiming quickly held the child over, indicating she shouldn’t force herself to get up.

Squinting, Yun Sheng saw, as Ji Ru Mo said, that on the arm of their newborn daughter Ye Lingyue was the Life and Death Talisman.

This Life and Death Talisman was the one Yun Sheng had implanted in Ye Beiming earlier.

Why was the Life and Death Talisman still there? Ye Beiming always believed that after using the talisman’s power to counter the Ancient Qilin Forbidden Curse, it had disappeared.

But why did this Life and Death Talisman, which feeds on a person’s Mana and fighting spirit, appear on Little Ling Yue’s body?

"Could it be... I doomed our daughter?" Ye Beiming recalled the day he met that man in the Life and Death Chaos, the one who was the first owner of the Life and Death Talisman.

Before sending Ye Beiming off, the man said, "I hope you won’t blame me in the future."

"It seems, as you suspected, to awaken you, the previous owner of the Life and Death Talisman transferred its power to Little Ling Yue, who was still an infant. Her premature birth is likely due to this talisman," Ji Ru Mo inspected Little Ling Yue.

"But, you both can rest assured, aside from being slightly weak due to premature birth, the little one is healthy." Ji Ru Mo’s reassuring findings relieved both Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming.

"It’s all my fault. If not for me..." Ye Beiming was filled with guilt.

"Ye Hu, it’s not your fault; you didn’t know the Life and Death Talisman would transfer to Ling Yue’s body." Yun Sheng, seeing Ye Beiming so guilt-ridden, gently grasped his hand.

"But a Life and Death Talisman is a Witch Artifact. As long as it’s in her body, it’s a risk. Can I remove it surgically when Ling Yue is a bit older?" Yun Sheng looked at the Life and Death Talisman, her eyes full of melancholy.

"I’m afraid not. If I’m not mistaken, this Life and Death Talisman has mutated and is branded on Ling Yue’s soul, rendering it irremovable. However, as long as she doesn’t use Mana and fighting spirit in the future, the talisman shouldn’t be triggered," Ji Ru Mo’s words were both reassuring and worrying.

This meant that their daughter Ye Lingyue would never be able to cultivate magic and fighting spirit in her lifetime?
