Volume 4 Chapter 7 - Daughter (1/2)

Everyone was waiting for Xu Yi to make a rare appearance, but Xu Yi was outside a bedroom in the Falling Star Manor, anxiously pacing back and forth. He kept looking at the door from time to time with a look of hope.

The door to the bedroom was shut tight and he could only hear the occasional screaming coming from inside, as well as Still’s moans.

The human females of the Sines Continent were no different from earth, they also carried their children and would give birth to them nine months later.

That’s right, Still was about to give birth!

Xu Yi didn’t know what mood he was feeling, he just felt it was very complex and hard to describe.

When he was on earth, he focused on his research and had few opportunities to come in contact with girls, not to mention dating. But after arriving on the Sines Continent, he had bumped into Still and not only did he get married, he was about to have a child with her!

Although he already expected this when he married Still, for it to really come, Xu Yi felt a bit stunned and didn’t know what to do.

He was about to become a dad?

But what should he do as a dad?

Would the child Still gave birth to be a boy or a girl?

What should he call it if it was a boy? What if it was a girl?

Would they take his surname?

If the surname was Xu, what should be the name?

……

A bunch of questions filled Xu Yi’s mind.

He had been in this world for more than six years, but this was Xu Yi’s first time not thinking about machines.

However, when the door was opened, all those questions turned into a single question.

“How is Still? Is anything wrong with her?” Xu Yi looked at the nurse who was in charge of Still and asked with a nervous look.

Since Still felt pain from her stomach last night, the private doctor that Xu Yi invited said that she would be going into labour. Now close to ten hours had passed, but Still hadn’t given birth yet, so Xu Yi was worried.

The nurse didn’t seem nervous at all, rather she comforted Xu Yi with a faint smile, “Be assured, chairman Xu, madame Still is still very healthy. Her strength is fine, she shouldn’t haven’t any problems.”

“Then why hasn’t she given birth yet?” Xu Yi asked.

The nurse revealed a smile, “Chairman Xu, do you think it’s easy giving birth? How could it be that fast? This is madame Still’s first child, it’s impossible it would go that smoothly. But you can be assured that her body is fine and nothing will happen to her.”

Hearing the certain tone of the nurse, Xu Yi calmed down a bit.

“Alright, don’t disturb them, let them focus on helping Still.” Great Magician Camilla on the side patted Xu Yi’s shoulder, telling him to calm down.

“Un.” Xu Yi nodded, letting the nurse go back in.

When she left, the door was suddenly opened again.

Xu Yi quickly turned over and saw Agnes walking out.

“Hey, Agnes, did you see how Still is?” Xu Yi quickly asked her.

Agnes had a strange look on her face, “She’s quite good, I think that she should have no problems…..But chairman you humans give birth to a child just like us elves. I thought that it would be different for different races.”

Xu Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “What? You’ve seen your clansman giving birth before?”

“Un, in our tribe, giving birth is an important matter that the elder attaches importance to. But there are only a few elves in our tribe, so at this age, I’ve only seen less than ten children being born.” Agnes replied.

Although Agnes looked like a twenty year old girl, she was actually already over eighty years old. Xu Yi couldn’t help understanding the issue that elder Illusia had complained to him about many times.

The fertility of elves was too low, in the years that Agnes had understood things, there were only ten kids who were born. That really was a pitifully small number.

It was no wonder that elder Illusia was worried that without influence from the outside, the elves would be eliminated by their low fertility rate.

After looking at Agnes, Xu Yi suddenly thought of something.

“Right, Agnes, you should have reached the age you give birth, right? Is there any handsome male elf that you like? Have you thought about getting married and giving birth to a child? If you like a male elf from your tribe, I can help introduce you.”

Agnes didn’t look shy like a human girl being asked this question, rather she seriously thought about it before shaking her head, “No, I’ve never thought about being with someone from my tribe. To be honest, chairman, I rather like you.”

Xu Yi was stunned before waving his hand, “No, no, no, I’m a human and you’re an elf, how can you marry me? That is clearly impossible.”

“Is it?” Agnes was confused, “So humans and elves can’t get married?”
