Chapter 665: Chapter 391: Delivering Her Own Baby (Part 2)

The injuries she’d gotten from fighting Exotic Beasts in the past hurt way more than this!

"Giving birth all alone, delivering my own baby... no one would believe it if I told them."

Luo Feifei felt like a real tough girl.

"But what tough girl in the world is as pretty as me? I’m the number one beauty in the universe! And now, I’m about to become the universe’s most beautiful mom!"

Luo Feifei chuckled. Here she was, giving birth, yet her mind was still wandering. With a wave of her hand, she summoned her prized hardcover edition of Three-Body, letting it hang in mid-air. "I stopped reading when the Dual-Vector Foil was deployed last time. This should make for some good background audio for the delivery."

This "hardcover edition" wasn’t made of paper, nor was it a simple e-book. It was a female voice narration accompanied by a three-dimensional holographic projection, complete with a classic score that perfectly matched the descriptions in the plot.

The contractions came in waves. Slowly, she dilated from three fingers, to five, and then to ten...

At such a critical moment, an ordinary woman would have been on a hospital delivery bed, screaming her lungs out. But this Planet Dominator had the leisure to manipulate streams of water, condensing them into an Ice Crystal harp.

The melodious strains of "The Blue Danube" mingled with the sound of turning pages and the holographic projection’s BGM, echoing through the delivery room. The moment her water broke, the harp’s tune abruptly changed, transforming into the powerful, resonant beats of Beethoven’s "Symphony of Fate."

"Good choice of BGM," Luo Feifei remarked, her eyes crinkling in a smile despite the beads of sweat on her forehead. Beneath her, the star-woven blanket automatically extended into an ergonomic delivery table, its billions of starlights gently supporting the path of the new life’s arrival.

As the baby, wrapped in a pale gold amniotic sac, slid into a cloud of starlight formed to receive her, the Water Spiritual Power guided by Luo Feifei’s fingertips had already woven a pure white swaddling cloth.

The baby girl’s loud cry caused the Vine Spirit Flowers to flutter down like rain. Amidst the shower of petals, Luo Feifei lifted the tiny life connected to her by blood and suddenly grumbled into the void, "Li Xiang, you scumbag, you’re sure taking it easy. Our daughter looks a bit like you!"

Beside the delivery bed lay a prepared swaddling cloth, one embroidered with auspicious dragons and phoenixes—mischievously mashed up with a pattern of an interstellar fleet.

Luo Feifei couldn’t help but chuckle as she dressed the baby. "If your dad saw this aesthetic..."

Before she could finish, the infant suddenly grasped a lock of her hair. A vast surge of Water Spiritual Power swept through the delivery room like a spring breeze, and all of Luo Feifei’s fatigue instantly dissolved into the starlight.

"Little one, you know how to grab Mommy’s hair right after being born? You’re so exquisitely beautiful, even prettier and cuter than Mommy was as a baby. Mommy loves you to death!"

Luo Feifei held the child in her arms, kissed her gently, then lifted her clothes to breastfeed.

Unfortunately, having just given birth, how could she have any milk?

"How about some formula then?" Luo Feifei had already prepared for this. She took out a few cans of milk powder from her Space Gem Ring, but after a moment’s thought, she decided formula wasn’t good enough.

So, she sent out her Divine Thought. Before long, she had located a suitable Exotic Beast in the forest.

This Exotic Beast happened to be lactating, currently nursing three small cubs, and had an abundant supply of milk.

The Female Beast was about nine meters long, with four hooves and a pair of wings. Its body was covered in silver-blue fur that shimmered with a moon-like radiance. From its head grew a spiral horn of a glassy texture, its tip holding three floating motes of starlight. Its round, amber eyes reflected the glow of the Star River, and Ice Crystal water lilies bloomed wherever its hooves trod. Its abdomen was covered in downy, cloud-soft, milky-white fur. Its lactating mammaries radiated a faint golden light, and its body was enveloped by a lunar halo that purified dark mists. The three cubs had gradient silver-gray fur, each with a star-shaped birthmark on its forehead, and were also incredibly cute.

In short, it had a gentle appearance, looked clean and sacred—the very image of an auspicious Divine Beast. Even on this planet, it was an extremely rare creature.

"You’ll do. Hmm, you’re very beautiful. From now on, I’ll call you ’Yun Jiao.’"

Sensing the Planet Master’s summons, the Exotic Beast immediately picked up its three cubs, swung them onto its back, and flew toward the Planet Master’s palace with a beat of its wings.

It landed before the palace and prostrated itself at the foot of the steps.

Luo Feifei granted it permission to enter.

"From now on, you are my Spirit Beast. I grant you the privilege of living in the palace courtyard."

Luo Feifei used her Divine Techniques to draw a bottle’s worth of fresh beast milk, enough for her daughter to drink. The Exotic Beast was enormous, and her daughter couldn’t drink much anyway, so there was no danger of the three cubs going hungry.

Of course, she didn’t take it for free. She bestowed upon it a Spiritual Medicine and a Cultivation Technique suitable for this type of Exotic Beast.

It was something she had collected in the Cyan Spirit Star Realm through the power of the Frost Ash Alliance, called the "Nine Luminaries Taiyin Refining Form True Understanding."

This Cultivation Technique used "moon soul for bone and starlight for blood." With each Realm breakthrough, it could condense a lunar phase Rune on its spiral horn. Upon reaching mastery, the beast could transform into a Taiyin Star Beast and roam the Star River, making it a perfect fit for this Exotic Beast’s Attributes.

The Exotic Beast was originally only at the Tier Sixteen Realm. Without any inherited knowledge, it had relied entirely on its own exploration, and its cultivation was extremely slow. Perhaps, with its innate talent, it might have had a chance to reach Saint Tier, but after that, Divine Tier was likely out of the question.

It probably wouldn’t have reached it even at the end of its lifespan.

But now, having suddenly received such a profound Breathing Technique—one that could lead directly to the Divine King Realm—it was overcome with excitement. It prostrated itself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, and secretly swore to protect its master and young master with all its might from now on.

And it didn’t just think this; it proved it with its actions.

Every day, if Luo Feifei didn’t take any milk, it wouldn’t let its three cubs eat, ensuring the young master ate first.

Luo Feifei gave her daughter a name: "Li Jiangxiao."

The "Jiang" (绛) meant crimson. Her father was currently inside the blazing core of the Fixed Star "Taichu," fusing with the "Heart of the Beginning," so she chose the character "Jiang."

As for "Xiao" (霄), it meant the highest heavens, the ninth empyrean. She and Li Xiang had traveled across the endless cosmos to finally reach this new home, a honeymoon journey comparable to a space epic. The character "Xiao" was well-deserved.

She had actually considered a few other options, such as Li Chuyao (Chu from Taichu, and Yao meaning beautiful jade, evoking the image of an exquisite carving). However, the little one had an Auntie Yao Yao, and the names clashed. It wasn’t good for a child’s name to overlap with an elder’s, so she discarded it.

There were others, like Li Xingjin, Li Qinghuan, Li Xingxuan, Li Qingxuan, Li Chenxi, and Li Lingyue... Luo Feifei didn’t think any of them sounded good, so she ultimately chose Li Jiangxiao.

"This was tough for your mommy, you know. I never even graduated from middle school and only attended high school for a couple of days. My literary skills aren’t exactly profound," Luo Feifei said with self-deprecating humor. In truth, she was exceptionally intelligent. Despite her lack of formal education, she was an avid reader; otherwise, she never would have been able to come up with so many beautiful names.

Each of those names had its own meaning and origin.

"Forget it. I’ll let your daddy handle this kind of thing in the future." In any case, with their long lifespans, they would have many more children. Having gone through the task of naming a child once, Luo Feifei decided she was done with it and would toss the responsibility to Li Xiang from now on.

Besides, the father should be the one to take the lead in naming the children anyway.

"We’ll have a few more in the future, and they can take my surname. The Luo Family will have its heirs too!"

From then on, Li Jiangxiao grew up happily on the planet. She inherited her mother’s Attribute, possessing the same Water Superpower, and her talent was exceptional. She stepped into the Extraordinary realm at just over a year old and reached Tier Ten by the age of three.

The little girl didn’t lack for playmates. Besides the Female Spirit Beast and her three cubs in the palace, she made many, many more friends in the forest during her explorations.

With Yun Jiao to escort and protect her, and a mother at the Planet Dominator Realm, Li Jiangxiao—as the little master and princess of this planet—naturally had no safety concerns.

At three years old, Li Jiangxiao was an exquisitely beautiful, bona fide little princess—a second-generation "Star." A star as in celebrity, and a star as in planet.

She hopped and skipped barefoot along the bank of a stream dotted with starlight ferns, her little feet fair and tender.

An azure Water Element Crystal Core hung around her neck, swaying with her movements. With a casual flick of her fingertips, she could pull up a string of water droplets that formed into little dolphins, drawing chirps of approval from several silver-striped squirrels peeking down from the treetops.

When a massive, green-scaled crocodile surfaced in the stream, she just giggled and leaped onto its back, her pink dress held aloft by the water’s current like a blooming lily of the valley.

The green-scaled crocodile, typically known far and wide for its ferocious and savage nature, was now as docile as a kitten. It carried its little master in circles through the shallows, wild berries from her last prank still stuck between its scales.
