Chapter 931 - Need to nourish
“You Yue, how is your Godmother? Hurry, let her take a look.” The moment that You Yue said that Shui Qing Man’s body wasn’t well, Wu La Mai started to panic.
“Godfather, there is no need to panic. Godmother will be fine for the time being. I’ll only know the state of her body after careful examination.” Sima You Yue said.
“Then you should hurry and examine her.” Wu La Mai said, “Your Godmother has been feeling like her current pregnancy feels different than from the time she carried your nine brothers.”
“You still don’t have to make a big fuss of every little thing.” Shui Qing Man said when she saw how flustered he was.
“Godmother, let’s go inside the house. I’ll examine you for a bit.” Sima You Yue said.
“Okay.”
Wu La Li and the others, who were nearby, heard the commotion over here and dragged a dead-drunk Wu La Xiu and headed in.
“Tenth Sister, how is Mother?”
“I haven’t checked yet. What are you guys doing here?” Sima You Yue glanced at them, “Stand over there and keep quiet.”
The few brothers all stopped speaking, watching her work from the side. They saw her expression turn increasingly solemn and her eyebrows knit tighter and tighter, and their hearts fell along with it.
Once her examination was complete, everyone saw her expression and dared not speak. There was a blanket of tension inside the house.
It was still Wu La Mai who broke the atmosphere and asked, “You Yue, how is your Godmother?”
Sima You Yue sighed, “At that time, Godmother’s injuries had dragged on for a rather long time. Although she has recovered, for her more female functions, eh, being a woman, it’s too early. Being pregnant takes up the mother’s energy. However, this body of hers cannot handle it. That is why the body is running a little empty and can’t keep up.”
“Is this serious?” Wu La Xiu asked.
“If you want to say that this is serious, then it’s not very serious. However, you can’t say that this is nothing either. It’s a good thing that we figured it out early and it has not yet impacted Godmother’s health nor the health of the baby.” Sima You Yue said, “It will just be a little troublesome to treat. We’ll need a bit of time.”
“How will we treat her?” Wu La Er asked.
I will help to use my spirit energy everyday to help Godmother recuperate. Then, I will use medicinal cuisine and medicine to supplement it.” Sima You Yue said, “Mother’s body is already rather weak and cannot handle it in large doses. We’ll need to do it slowly. That’s why Godmother should not leave for the Ninth Star Ocean in the meantime.”
“How long will it take?” Wu La Li asked.
“At the very least, half a year.” Sima You Yue said, “The best scenario would be all the way until the child is born.”
“Then Mother should remain by Tenth Sister’s side.” Wu La Li said, “You shouldn’t go back yet. Just rest your body.”
“Yeah. We’ll stay behind this time and leave your sons to handle the things of the clan.” Wu La Mai directly settled the plan.
Shui Qing Man wanted to say something, but finally chose to stay silent. She didn’t want to mess around with the child in her belly. However, if she didn’t go back, it wasn’t too possible for her to make Wu La Mai go back without her, either.
The degree to which this guy took care of her was something that couldn’t be described with words.
“Anyway, back where Mother was unconscious, Second Brother was the one who managed the things of the clan.” Wu La Bo said, “Father, Mother, you can both relax. Everything will go smoothly.”
“Mm. Since that is the case, you guys should hurry back. If anything crops up, just discuss it with Cheng Xiang. Contact me if there is anything you really cannot handle.” Wu La Mai said.
“Yes, Father.”
“Then you guys can return today.”
“…”
Father, could you not chase us away so quickly?
“It’s better for us to wait until Mother’s condition improves before we head back.” Wu La Mai was relatively gutsy, and dared to suggest something else.
It was a pity-
It was fruitless!
“There’s no use for you guys to stay here. The situation in the Ninth Star Ocean isn’t that stable, so you should hurry and return home. If those guys attack us again, you guys should just retaliate. Don’t hold back.” Wu La Mai said.
“But Mother’s condition…”
“You don’t have to worry about Godmother’s condition. I will take care of her well.” Sima You Yue siad.
“Then, Tenth Sister, we’ll have to trouble you.”
The last time that she had rescued Shui Qing Man, she had refined so many pills for them. She was like a divine doctor in their hearts, so if they said that she was fine, then they could all rest assured.
“Mm, Brothers, you may relax.” Sima You Yue said, “Have you guys been battling all this while? Do you have enough pills? If you do not have enough, I can refine more for you, and you can bring them back with you.”
“We still have a lot left.” Wu la Lu said, “We brought back so many the last time, but we haven’t fought any battles since then. We didn’t use much of it. We will ask you for them if we run out.”
“Alright then, you just have to give me a bit of time. Don’t wait until it’s completely depleted before you let me know.” Sima You Yue siad, “If I want to refine many of them, I’ll need some time.”
“Alright.”
“Alright, alright. You guys should hurry back.” Wu La Mai said, “Don’t tarry You Yue in treating Shui Qing Man.”
“…”
Although they were really unwilling, the clan really was facing a situation, so somebody had to take charge. They had no choice but to return home.
As such, the drunk Wu La Xiu and Cheng Xiang were dragged away. Even as they left, they were still asking for more wine.
“Godmother, I’ll perform one round of acupuncture first.” Sima You Yue said.
“What about your guests? Do you not have to entertain them?” Shui Qing Man asked.
“No need, they drank too much yesterday and are still intoxicated! Even if they wake up, Feng’er and the others will take care of them.” Sima You Yue said, “Godmother, please.”
Shui Qing Man nodded and they chased Wu La Mai outside.
This was not the first time that Sima You Yue was performing acupuncture for her. However, she was unconscious the last time. Furthermore, she was pregnant this time, so she was a little worried.
“Godmother, don’t think too much. Just relax. It will be over soon.” Sima You Yue consoled.
“Mm.”
This time, Sima You Yue didn’t spend too long and was done in around half an hour. She helped Shui Qing Man put on her clothes and said, “I’ll refine some pills for you in a moment. You just have to take them.”
“Just like that?” Shui Qing Man said.
“That won’t do.” Sima You Yue said, “The baby in your womb didn’t get nourishment for a period before, so it is rather weak. I will have to use my spirit energy to nurture it for a period. That is why I will do three things for you everyday, which is acupuncture, feeding you medicine, and nourishing with my spirit energy. We’ll see how things are in half a month. If you’re better, we won’t have to do acupuncture anymore.”
“Thank you, child.” Shui Qing Man’s voice was tender.
Sima You Yue smiled, saying, “You are my Godmother. This child is also my younger brother or sister. Why are you being formal with me? Right, it happens that pregnancy is the best time to nourish your body. If you nourish it well during this period, this younger brother or sister of mine will be very talented! Like my younger sister.”
“She is as well?”
“When my mother was pregnant, I told them the same thing. That is why Li’er was at divine rank the moment she was born. Her body is also more robust.” Sima You Yue said.
She just didn’t know when that little dough would evolve and stop stealing her spirit energy.
