Chapter 489: A Baby Girl Is Born!
After carefully storing away the freshly refined Tianxuan Essence Stabilizing Pill and the Dragon Soul Cauldron, Gu He’s figure flickered and vanished into the void.
As Gu He’s aura disappeared from the mountainous region, the vast energy layer covering dozens of miles in the sky rapidly dissipated as well.
“He’s gone! That overwhelming presence has vanished!”
“It seems that the great alchemist, that peerless powerhouse, has already left this place!”
“A master capable of refining an eighth-tier pill that summons a five-colored pill tribulation… Even if we couldn’t see him in person, just examining the marks left by his cauldron pressing into the ground would be an honor!”
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? If that master left anything behind, even the smallest thing, it would be an invaluable treasure for us!”
In an instant, both intelligent magical beasts and humans alike surged toward the location where Gu He had refined his pill, scrambling to search for any traces he might have left behind.
...
In Tianbei City, Gu He smoothly returned to the Han family estate, specifically to the small courtyard belonging to Han Yue and her sister.
At this moment, standing before him was a woman dressed in white.
She wore a flowing white dress, and her long, jet-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, left to drape naturally. Her breathtakingly beautiful face bore a tranquil and serene expression. Despite the noticeable swell of her abdomen, her elegance and charm remained unaffected.
“Husband, you’re back!”
Upon seeing Gu He appear, a flash of delight surfaced on the woman’s serene face.
“Mm.”
Gu He’s eyes were filled with deep affection as he gently reached out and caressed Yun Yun’s face.
“Husband, this little one seems like it’s coming soon. The movements have been getting stronger these past two days.” Yun Yun softly rubbed her belly, her gaze filled with tenderness.
“Really… Yun’er, that means we’re about to become parents!” A hint of excitement appeared on Gu He’s face. In the next moment, a particularly exquisite jade bottle appeared in his hand.
“Yun’er, inside this bottle is a Tianxuan Essence Stabilizing Pill that I personally refined. Once you’ve given birth, take it immediately.” Gu He explained.
“Mm.”
Yun Yun obediently took the jade bottle from him. She knew that Gu He had likely gone away specifically to refine this pill.
...
On the morning of the third day after Gu He returned to the Han family estate, a light drizzle fell from the sky, making the day slightly dim.
Suddenly, the cry of a newborn rang out from the room where Gu He and Yun Yun were staying.
“She’s born!”
Upon hearing the baby’s cries, Gu He, who had been waiting outside the room, immediately rushed inside.
Several of his disciples, who had been standing by, also followed closely behind, their faces filled with joy.
Inside the room, Yun Yun had already gotten up. She gently rocked the swaddled infant in her arms, trying to soothe her cries.
As a practitioner, childbirth was not as excruciating or exhausting for Yun Yun as it would be for an ordinary woman. Moreover, she had just consumed the eighth-tier Tianxuan Essence Stabilizing Pill, personally refined by Gu He, which had fully restored her vitality. Her complexion was glowing, and she looked as if she had never undergone the ordeal of childbirth.
“Yun’er, you’ve worked hard! Let me hold her.”
Gu He walked forward, first reaching out to gently caress Yun Yun’s cheek before carefully taking the infant from her arms.
Wrapped snugly in swaddling clothes, the newborn was fair and delicate, her skin as soft as jade. Just as Gu He lifted her into his arms, the baby suddenly stopped crying. Her bright, ink-black eyes, large and round, stared up at him with a curious expression.
As he gazed into her dark, shimmering eyes, Gu He felt his heart melt in an instant. The joy on his face was unmistakable.
“She’s a little girl. We now have a new little sister.”
"Haha, this little one is so adorable! Master, let me hold her for a moment!"
"I want to hold her too!"
At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Han Yue all gathered around, unable to resist the urge to hold the delicate little baby, who looked like a porcelain doll. Even Xiao Yin and the Purple Demon Vulture, the two little ones, had excitement written all over their faces.
However, no matter how much Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Han Yue pleaded, Gu He simply pretended not to hear them, holding the baby firmly in his arms without letting go.
"Husband, have you thought of a name for our child?" Yun Yun gently reached out, stroking the baby’s tiny, tender hand, and asked Gu He with a soft smile.
"She was born in the early morning, and it was drizzling outside at the time. Why don’t we name her Yuchen?" Gu He didn’t overthink it—he had always been casual about naming.
"Alright, let’s call her Yuchen!" Without a second thought, Yun Yun nodded in agreement as soon as Gu He spoke.
"Waah~ Waah~"
Just then, the baby in the swaddle started crying again.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry. Little Yuchen, it’s okay~"
Seeing this, Gu He mimicked Yun Yun’s earlier actions, gently rocking the baby from side to side in his arms.
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, twenty days had gone by since Gu Yuchen’s birth.
On this day, Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Han Yue had come to bid farewell to Gu He and Yun Yun as they were preparing to leave on a mission.
After respectfully bowing to Gu He and Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian spoke earnestly, though with a hint of reluctance, "Master, Mistress, I will be going on a training journey for a while!"
"Master, Mistress, I will also be leaving for training!" Nalan Yanran followed.
"Master, Mistress, I too will be heading out for training!" Han Yue added.
"Master, Mistress, Han Xue as well…"
After Xiao Yi Xian, Nalan Yanran, and Han Yue, Han Xue also voiced the same intention.
Hearing their words, Gu He exchanged a glance with Yun Yun, who was holding little Yuchen, before smiling and nodding. "Alright, I approve."
"During this journey, as before, you must always keep the Void Jade Talisman on you and never lose it!"
"Also, I have a few things to give you before you leave."
As he spoke, Gu He waved his hand lightly, and twelve jade bottles floated before him. The next moment, with a gentle push, the bottles split into four sets and flew toward the four women.
Seeing the jade bottles being handed to them, the four of them immediately bowed and said in unison, "Thank you, Master, for your gift!"
Without hesitation, they each accepted the bottles and carefully stored them away.
Once they had taken them, Gu He continued, "Each of you has three bottles—one contains an eighth-tier pill, while the other two hold seventh-tier pills. These are all for healing purposes. The bottles contain descriptions of the pills, so you may review them later."
