Chapter 134 The Birth of the Ichthyosaur
The first baby ichthyosaur was finally born, and the bloody eggshell made her heart clench. Although she had given birth many times before, the special nature of the baby ichthyosaur still made her very worried, and her gaze was fixed on the tiny egg.

The system notification sounded, but this time it wasn't Long Tingting's familiar voice, which added to Chu Xinyao's anxiety. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked:
"Mother-in-law, is the baby alright?"
The shaman carefully carried the ichthyosaur egg away and placed it in a bamboo basket for inspection. Inside the warm nest woven from soft seaweed, the cleaned ichthyosaur egg lay.
The eggshell was soft and somewhat transparent. The witch doctor came from the Merfolk, a race closely related to the Fish-Dragon Clan, and had a deep understanding of them. She carefully examined the hatchling's condition by looking at the blood vessels on the eggshell and observing it through the light.
"Don't worry, the ichthyosaur cub is fine. Now we just need to keep it warm and wait for it to hatch naturally." The witch doctor's voice was calm; her experience allowed her to accurately assess the cub's health.
"Your Majesty, did you hear that? Don't worry!" The High Priest brought a hot towel to wipe the sweat from Chu Xinyao's forehead.
A relieved smile appeared on Chu Xinyao's face. Although her body was exhausted, her heart was filled with joy. With another push, the second baby fish-dragon was successfully born.

The birth of two babies with gold-level aptitude, both in good condition, filled Chu Xinyao with immense joy. A warm feeling welled up inside her, as if all her fatigue had been compensated for in that moment.
Looking at the two ichthyosaur eggs in the seaweed nest, Chu Xinyao smiled, her eyes shining with maternal warmth.
She still had two fish-dragon eggs in her belly, one gold and one red, but her strength was almost exhausted.
The five people waiting outside—Yu Zijing, Hu Xiao, She Mo, He Yu, and Yu Paopao—were thrilled as the good news came from inside the house.
Fish Bubble had an uncontrollable smile on his face. He knew very well what the birth of the two baby fish dragons meant for the entire fish dragon race.
He whispered to Yu Zijing, "Uncle, your clan has a new member! This is wonderful news!"
Yu Zijing didn't speak, but Yu Zi, who was accompanying her, nodded vigorously, "Yes, our Fish Dragon Clan will definitely become stronger in the future, and these two little guys will definitely become the pride of our clan."
Yu Zijing frowned, not listening to what they were saying, but just watching the busy figures inside the house with concern.
Chu Xinyao's other beast husbands also looked worried. They didn't like this passive situation of waiting outside and not being able to do anything.
They were all Chu Xinyao's strong support, but now they could only anxiously wait for news outside.
This anxious waiting reached its climax when a maid brought out a basin of bloody water from inside the room.
Snake Ink grabbed the maid, "Why is there so much blood? Didn't they say the delivery was successful? Why is there so much blood!"
His voice was filled with panic; the amount of bleeding was clearly abnormal. This situation filled him with an uneasy premonition.
The impatient Tiger Roar was about to rush in, but Crane Feather stopped him in time. "Tiger Roar, calm down. We can't cause trouble at this time."
His voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable firmness; acting impulsively at this moment would only make things worse.
Unexpectedly, Hu Xiao pushed He Yu aside, saying, "I won't cause any trouble. I'll just go in and take a look."
He couldn't bear to wait here indifferently any longer.
"Don't worry, Yu'er's belly is so big, it's normal for her to have some bleeding," Yu Zi quickly stepped forward to comfort them.
Merfolk are all viviparous, and their bellies are generally about the same size as Chu Xinyao's current belly. It's not uncommon for them to have some blood during childbirth.
"Don't worry, this isn't all blood, it's all hot water."
Yu Zijing stood to the side, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with worry. He said softly, "We must trust the witch doctor and the high priest. They are the most experienced people in the tribe and will surely handle everything."
His voice was calm, but his hands, clasped tightly to his side, were trembling.
After being pushed away, He Yu wasn't angry; he understood Hu Xiao's anxiety. "Hu Xiao, I know you're worried, and I'm worried too, but rushing in will only make things worse."
Snake Ink released the maid, his hand trembling slightly, knowing that his panic might affect others.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and lowered his head. "Heyu is right, we can't be impulsive. We must trust Yao, and we must trust the High Priest and the others."
The smile on Yu Paopao's face had long since disappeared, replaced by deep worry.
Time ticked by, and the commotion inside the house made everyone outside even more nervous. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry for Chu Xinyao.
The atmosphere inside the room was very tense. The high priest's forehead was covered with sweat as he carefully put the pill from beside the pillow into Chu Xinyao's mouth.
This pill is made from precious medicinal herbs from our tribe. It can refresh the mind and replenish physical strength in critical moments.
Chu Xinyao was startled awake by the bitter taste in her mouth. She frowned and groaned softly, "Ugh, so bitter." Her consciousness was hazy and her body was extremely exhausted, but the bitterness of the pills restored her senses slightly.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't fall asleep!" The High Priest's voice was anxious. At this crucial moment, Chu Xinyao had to stay awake, as any slackening during the birthing process could lead to unpredictable dangers.
Chu Xinyao struggled to open her eyes; she had actually fallen asleep.
The witch doctor was busy at the side, her skills were proficient, and she used every means to stabilize Chu Xinyao's vital signs, while carefully guiding the birth of the fish-dragon baby.
Chu Xinyao used her last bit of strength and successfully completed the delivery.
