Chapter 764: 766, The Ordinary Fetus (First Update)

Before Xi He could finish her sentence, a pain shot through the back of her neck, and everything went dark as she fainted away.

Seeing this, the maid immediately supported Xi He and walked her towards the guest room.

It was only then that Mo Zhixuan grasped Chu Jin’s hand, "The first three months are the most crucial, how could you be so careless? If something were to happen, what would I do?"

Chu Jin dismissed it casually, "It’s okay, just one person, I can manage."

"I say it’s a problem, it’s a problem!" Mo Zhixuan said sternly, "You are not allowed to do this in the future! Do you hear me?"

Chu Jin nodded in agreement, "Yes, I heard."

The wedding date for Duanmu Zhe and Mo Qingyi was originally set for the 18th of this month, but after discussions between the two families and consultations with a master, it was considered that the 18th in two months’ time would be more auspicious, so the engagement banquet was postponed by two months.

For Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe, this didn’t have much impact. After tonight, they would return to their military units and would only be able to come back after two months.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and Chu Jin’s belly had slowly started to grow, and at night, she could even feel the baby moving— a happiness exclusive to a mother.

She was already eager to meet the children in her belly.

Although Chu Jin’s belly had grown, her limbs remained slender, and her face didn’t show any signs of swelling; her complexion was even better than before she was pregnant.

From the back, one couldn’t tell at all that she was nearly four months pregnant.

Today was the day for the antenatal checkup at the hospital.

The couple went to the hospital to queue and make an appointment, just like any ordinary couple would.

When receiving the report, the doctor’s expression was grave, "Sir Ninth, Lady Ninth, I won’t conceal it from you two, today’s checkup results are not ideal, and it might be... bad news for you."

At these words, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan’s hearts both clenched. The joy of becoming parents for the first time was instantly washed away by the doctor’s words, their hearts plummeting to the bottom.

Chu Jin was still relatively calm, and she looked at the doctor, slowly asking, "Doctor Li, what exactly is the situation? Please speak frankly."

Mo Zhixuan was already pale with fright. Whenever it involved Chu Jin, he couldn’t remain calm. He stared intently at the doctor, "Doctor, tell me, will Jin be in danger? What should we do now? Should we be hospitalized?"

If there was something wrong with the children, it didn’t matter; they were still young, and if Chu Jin liked children, they could have more in the future.

What mattered was the person.

He truly couldn’t afford to lose her again.

"Sir Ninth, please stay calm," Doctor Li continued, "Lady Ninth is fine, there won’t be any danger, rest assured."

Hearing this, Mo Zhixuan finally relaxed, "That’s good, that’s good." As long as she was okay, that was all that mattered.

"The problem lies with the fetuses," said Doctor Li, looking at the results and shaking his head with a face full of worry.

"What exactly is wrong with the fetuses?" Seeing the doctor like this, Chu Jin was full of anxiety. She could already feel the movements of the babies, and to tell her now that there was a problem with them was difficult for Chu Jin to accept.

Mo Zhixuan also regained his composure, asking with some confusion, "All the previous checks said the babies were developing well, how can there be a problem now? Have you made a mistake?"

The seed of Mo Zhixuan, how could there be an issue? These doctors, always causing unnecessary alarm!

Doctor Li sighed and then said, "Sir Ninth, Lady Ninth, I won’t beat around the bush. This time Lady Ninth is carrying fraternal twins, and indeed, the development of both fetuses is quite good, their limbs are all very robust, and there are no issues with their intelligence."

At this news, both Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief. All was well! Chu Jin subconsciously touched her swelling belly, her face filled with relief and joy.

The doctor paused, then continued.

"However, through our examination, we found that the girl has a rather special constitution. In fact, two months ago, she should have turned into a blood clot, the twins becoming a single fetus, but for some unknown reason, she has survived until now..."

Two months ago?

Chu Jin slightly furrowed her brow; that was exactly when she had gone to Poland Mountain.

That is to say, some event on Poland Mountain had allowed this child to survive by chance.

Somewhat inexplicably, Chu Jin suddenly thought of that big tiger.

Hearing the doctor’s words, Mo Zhixuan frowned, following up with, "Get to the point." Doctor Li had said so much, but the main issue still wasn’t clear, and Mo Zhixuan was becoming impatient.

If the children were fully developed and there were no issues with their intelligence, then what was the bad news supposed to be?

Indeed, doctors just loved to exaggerate.

Doctor Li’s body couldn’t help but tremble a bit, and then he said, "Sir Ninth, you and Lady Ninth must prepare yourselves mentally." Fearing Mo Zhixuan’s reaction, the doctor was extremely nervous, worried that Mo Zhixuan’s unhappiness might be taken out on him.

Mo Zhixuan gave him a cold glance, "Speak."

Doctor Li’s expression was extremely serious as he continued, "Sir Ninth, it’s like this: because the girl should have turned into a blood clot before, even though she survived, her constitution is different from others. She does not have a mutant bone, which means she is a normal person... she will never be able to cultivate special abilities or Spiritual Power in her life."

In the Superpower World, without a special ability bone, it’s practically no different from being disabled.

What’s crucial is that her parents are among the most noble in all three realms.

The most noble people in the three realms having a normal person as a child is a disgrace.

That’s why Doctor Li was so anxious.

This was a major event in the three realms, for Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin.

One was a young city overlord, the other a reincarnated empress.

People like them would never tolerate the slightest imperfection under their watchful eyes.

They probably wouldn’t be able to accept their own child as someone who can’t cultivate special abilities.

Upon hearing this, both Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan’s expressions turned solemn.

Ordinary people in the Superpower World might be of no concern, but this is Superpower World, where almost everyone possesses a special ability.

If there were only one person who lacked a special ability and couldn’t cultivate it, they would become the most unique one in the crowd, which would surely lead to a sense of inferiority for the child in the future.

Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin were also aware of this.

Seeing their concern, the doctor continued, "Sir Ninth, Lady Ninth, but please rest assured, the other twin has excellent potential, inheriting your exceptional genes. They are a one in a million special ability body, and will surely exceed their peers in the future!"

Doctor Li wasn’t just offering empty flattery; it was indeed the case.

"Could there have been a mistake in the examination?" Chu Jin asked with a slight frown.

"If you’re not at ease, Lady Ninth, I can have Doctor Wang examine you again. Don’t worry, this won’t affect the fetuses," Doctor Li stood up.

"Alright," Chu Jin nodded slightly, "then I’ll trouble you."

Doctor Wang, responsible for the prenatal examination, was a middle-aged woman with deep expertise and considerable authority.

Thirty minutes later, Doctor Li received the medical report and still wore a grave expression as he regretfully said, "Lady Ninth, the result remains unchanged."

The hope in Mo Zhixuan’s eyes began to fade.

Chu Jin’s expression didn’t change, "Alright, I understand."

Doctor Li continued, "Lady Ninth, how about we arrange a selective reduction surgery for you? Rest assured, we will arrange the finest surgeon, and the other normal fetus won’t be harmed."

In such a case, this was the only solution Doctor Li could think of.

Being born in the Superpower World without the mutant bone, unable to cultivate, such a child—even if born—would be a disappointment when they grew up.

Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin, both of noble status and prestigious heritage, certainly wouldn’t tolerate such offspring; wouldn’t that tarnish their own reputation?

Fortunately, the other twin was extraordinarily talented.

Before Chu Jin could speak, Mo Zhixuan looked up at Doctor Li and asked, "Doctor Li, tell me, apart from having a unique constitution, is everything about my daughter normal? Her limbs are perfectly healthy?"

"Yes, Sir Ninth, everything else is perfectly normal," Doctor Li nodded in confirmation.

"Then we won’t go through with the selective reduction surgery," Mo Zhixuan said decisively, embracing Chu Jin’s shoulders, "Come on, Jin, let’s go home."

"Okay," Chu Jin nodded slightly, "let’s go home."

After all, Mo Zhixuan was adamantly against reducing the pregnancy.

As long as the baby was healthy, even if a bit unique, that was still his child, Mo Zhixuan’s child.

What about ordinary people? An ordinary person was still his and Jin’s flesh and blood! He couldn’t bear to abort his own child! Even if it was an ordinary person, his daughter would still be the Little Princess of the three realms! Even if an ordinary person, he could still make sure his daughter would ’dominate’ the three realms!

Shortly after, Chu Jin looked up at Doctor Li, "Doctor Li, we will discuss this at home; if we decide surgery is needed, we will let you know."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhixuan sharply rebuked, "Jin! What are you talking about?"

Chu Jin glanced at him, "Let’s go, we’ll talk at home." After all, the Superpower World isn’t just any place; here, everyone has the mutant bone. If their child was the only one without, they would surely face disdain and gossip from others eventually.

Fear the talk of others.

She didn’t want her child to become the most unique one, nor did she want her child to feel different from others from a young age.

She also didn’t want her child to bear any resentment towards her when they grew up.

Chu Jin had her own concerns; after all, the children were in her womb. She shared their blood and bones, and this situation caused her more heartache than anyone else, making her yearn even more to keep the child.

She too wished to stubbornly keep this child.

But now that matters had progressed to this point, she could not afford to be wilful; she needed to be calm in her approach.

So, on the return home, she gathered Zhao Yan, Tong Zhi, and several key relatives from the Mo family.

At this juncture, the decision about the fate of the unborn child was no longer merely her own; it required collective deliberation, seeking a solution together.

After Chu Jin explained the situation, Lady Ninth of the Mo family stood up first, "Jin, whether the child is an ordinary person or has a special ability, they are still Mo family blood. I do not agree with the notion of reducing the pregnancy."

Lady Ninth valued lineage above all and was the first to disapprove of Chu Jin undergoing selective reduction surgery.

Mo Zhixuan finally had a child, and a precious set of twins at that—how could they just terminate one.

So what if the child was ordinary? An ordinary child was still a precious life! And she was still her precious granddaughter!

Zhao Yan also stood up to say, "My relative is right, what does it matter if the child is ordinary or has a special ability? We just want the children to be intelligent and healthy! Jin, don’t overthink it. Just focus on your pregnancy and giving birth to the child."

Chu Jin remained silent, her gaze filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Mo Zhixuan started softly, "Jin, you heard what mom and the others said, let’s keep our daughter, okay? Let’s not go through with the selective reduction surgery?"

"Zhixuan," Tong Zhi began slowly, "If you insist on having the child, have you considered the child’s feelings when they grow up? People’s words can be dreadful, and you both stand at the pinnacle of the three realms. I fear that the child might not be able to withstand such pressure and end up blaming you two. You’re still young, it’s not too late to have another child."

Tong Zhi made a very logical point.

After all, Chu Jin was only three months pregnant; there was still time.

In the Superpower World, lacking the mutant bone was regarded as an imperfection. Such children, if not detected during prenatal screening and born, would often be secretly drowned by their parents.

Even if such a child grew up, they would develop a sense of inferiority due to their difference from others, potentially leading to mental illness over time, which would really complicate things.
