17: Mythical Pill Helps the Prodigy, Instantly Killing Powerful Enemies to Protect His Home

Morning mist lightly shrouded the Resting World as Lin Chen supported Lin Qingxue, walking along a small path outside the city. The bluestone road was coated with dew, making it slightly slippery to step on.

"Walk slowly, tell me if you get tired." Lin Chen's palm rested against her waist and abdomen, fearing she might bump into anything. Clear Snow's nine tails swayed gently as she held his arm, her steps light and slow.

[Resting World Duration: 3 Days]

[Task Time: 3 Days Remaining]

[Lin Qingxue Pregnancy: 300 Days (Day 7, Pending Birth)]

Spiritual Plants by the roadside were covered in morning dew. Clear Snow occasionally stopped, her fingertips lightly touching the leaves, causing the dew to roll off. "Husband, look, this grass is so tender."

Lin Chen followed her gaze to see a silver-grade Spiritual Plant. He plucked it casually and used Law to accelerate its growth to gold-grade. "Here, play with this, but don't tire yourself out."

Clear Snow took the Spiritual Plant, her smile blooming like a flower. "Thank you, Husband."

The two walked to an abandoned valley. Lin Chen's Divine Thought stirred slightly as he detected energy fluctuations hidden underground. "There is something below; I'll go take a look."

He channeled the power of earth and stone, and the ground slowly cracked open, revealing a treasure chest gleaming with platinum luster, its surface engraved with intricate patterns.

[platinum treasure chest]

[Quality: Common]

[Note: Contains platinum-grade items]

Lin Chen took out the treasure chest, and Clear Snow leaned in to look closely. "Husband, are you going to Sublimation it?"

"Of course." Lin Chen condensed the power of Law at his fingertips and lightly touched the treasure chest.

[Ding—platinum treasure chest → diamond treasure chest → epic treasure chest]

The treasure chest instantly shed its platinum color, blooming with brilliant light, its patterns transforming into flowing starlight.

[epic treasure chest]

[Quality: Common]

[Note: Contains epic-grade items]

Lin Chen opened the treasure chest. A completely crimson Medicinal Pill lay inside, radiating a warm, gentle life force.

[Obtained: epic-grade · Birth-Inducing Pill]

[Effect: epic-grade and below pregnant women can give birth immediately upon consumption; mother and child attributes skyrocket by 1000 times, mother ascends three Ranks]

Clear Snow's eyes lit up. "This Medicinal Pill is exactly what we need!"

Lin Chen, however, was not satisfied. He invoked the Law again to perform Sublimation on the Medicinal Pill. "I want to give you the best."

[Ding—epic-grade Birth-Inducing Pill → Legendary Rank Birth-Inducing Pill → mythical-grade Birth-Inducing Pill]

The Medicinal Pill suddenly expanded by an inch, its crimson color turning into gold and purple, surrounded by Grandmist Purple Qi, its aura majestic and sacred.

[mythical-grade · Birth-Inducing Pill]

[Effect: mythical-grade and below pregnant women can give birth immediately upon consumption; mother and child attributes skyrocket by 1000 times, mother ascends three Ranks]

"Alright, let's go home." Lin Chen put away the Medicinal Pill, carefully picked up Clear Snow, and channeled the wind element to take flight.

Clear Snow leaned into his embrace, gently stroking her lower abdomen. "We will meet the baby very soon."

Returning to the bronze-grade house, Lin Chen settled Clear Snow onto the gold-grade soft couch and brought her warm water. "Drink slowly, don't choke."

Clear Snow took the cup and looked up to consume the mythical-grade Birth-Inducing Pill. The Medicinal Pill melted upon contact with her mouth, and a warm current instantly surged through her entire body. The fetus in her womb seemed to sense it and moved gently.

"Husband, I think I can feel it now." Clear Snow grabbed Lin Chen's hand, her voice filled with anticipation.

Lin Chen gripped her hand, a warm power transmitting from his palm. "Don't be afraid, I am here."

In just a moment, a brilliant light surged from Clear Snow's abdomen, the gold and purple glow breaking through the roof and shooting straight into the clouds. The wind and clouds between heaven and earth changed color, and the phantoms of a Dragon and Phoenix circled the sky. A crisp cry resounded throughout the entire Resting World.

Lin Chen's eyes were filled with excitement as he carefully picked up his newborn daughter. The little one was carved from jade and pink, with a pale gold demon god mark on her forehead. Her pair of eyes were lively and bright, and she could already see clearly.

"Husband, she is so cute." Clear Snow was weak yet joyous, reaching out to touch her daughter's little face.

The little one rolled her eyes and suddenly spoke, her voice soft and sweet. "Mother... Father..."

Lin Chen and Clear Snow were both stunned, then overcome with wild joy. To be able to speak right after birth, this child was surely extraordinary!

What was even more astonishing was that the little one struggled to sit up from Lin Chen's arms, wobbling on her short legs as she walked to the side of Clear Snow's bed. "Mother... hug..."

Lin Chen hurriedly supported her, his heart filled with shock. He sent out his Divine Thought and called up his daughter's panel:

[Name: Lin Nianxue]

[Race: Ancient Demon God]

[Rank: Void]

[Level: 1]

[Talent: Void Immunity (Immune to all conceptual, rule, and Karma ability attacks)]

[Attributes: Strength 5000, Agility 5000, Physique 5000, Spirit 5000]

[Skills: Not Awakened (Can be learned independently as she grows)]

At the same time, Clear Snow's panel also underwent massive changes:

[Name: Lin Qingxue]

[Race: Ice and Snow Nine-Tailed White Fox (Transcendence Level)]

[Level: 58 (Pending Breakthrough)]

[Attributes: Strength 610000, Agility 830000, Physique 610000, Spirit 1130000]

[Skills: Ice and Snow Divine Power (Perfection), Nine-Tails Power (Perfection), Charm (Perfection), Shapeshifting (Perfection), Ice Arrow (Perfection), Ice Domain (Perfection)]

[Pregnancy: Ended (Successful Birth)]

Although Lin Chen's panel did not change, his state of mind improved due to his daughter's birth, and his Law Affinity was even better than before:

[Name: Lin Chen]

[Race: Perfect Ancient God (Tier 2)]

[Level: 58]

[Attributes: Strength 400470, Agility 400470, Physique 400470, Spirit 400620]

[Skills: Ancient Gods Body (Enhanced), Ancient Gods Pressure (Enhanced), Ancient Gods Divine Sense (120 km)]

[Trait: Law Affinity (Major Achievement)]

The Dragon and Phoenix phantoms and the gold and purple glow attracted countless Survivors. Outside the house, a dense crowd of figures gathered, including orcs, vampires, angels, and demons, all of them filled with greed in their eyes.

"That child must be a child of god! Seize her, and we can ascend to the heavens in one step!"

"That woman just gave birth, her strength must be weak, charge in and grab her!"

Chaotic shouts came, and a few gold-grade orcs rushed forward, attempting to smash through the bronze-grade courtyard wall.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold. Holding Nian Xue, he spoke softly to Clear Snow, "Rest well, I will handle this."

His figure flashed, and he appeared outside the courtyard. His Law Affinity channeled the power of thunder, violet lightning like dragons instantly shrouding all the invaders.

"Seeking death."

As his words fell, the orcs charging at the front were instantly struck by lightning into charcoal and turned into powder. The others were so terrified that their souls flew away and Spirits scattered, turning to flee.

How could Lin Chen give them a chance? He channeled the power of space. The invisible space barrier instantly contracted, compressing all the invaders into blood mist, which dissipated with the wind.

In just an instant, the area outside the courtyard returned to peace, leaving only a faint smell of blood.

Lin Chen turned back into the house, the coldness on his face instantly melting into tenderness. Nian Xue reached out her little short hands and grabbed his finger. "Father... amazing..."

Lin Chen chuckled and pressed a kiss on her forehead. "In the future, Father will protect you and Mother."

Clear Snow leaned on the soft couch, watching the interaction between father and daughter, her eyes filled with happiness. She could clearly feel the surging power within her, and her Ice and Snow Divine Power had reached Perfection; at this moment, she was already a Transcendence Level powerhouse.

"Husband, give her a name." Clear Snow said softly.

Lin Chen looked at his daughter in his arms and thought for a moment. "Let's call her Nian Xue, Lin Nianxue. Nian as in longing, Xue as in ice and snow."

"Nian Xue..." Clear Snow recited it once and nodded with a smile. "A good name."

Nian Xue seemed to understand, grinning to reveal two small baby teeth. "Nian Xue... likes it..."

In the afternoon, Lin Chen placed Nian Xue on the gold-grade carpet, watching her take wobbly steps. The little one was energetic, running to Clear Snow for a hug one moment, and pulling Lin Chen's hand the next, wanting him to play with her.

"Husband, look how lively she is." Clear Snow leaned on the sofa, her eyes curving into crescents with her smile.

Lin Chen nodded and channeled the Law, creating a small Ice and Snow playground inside the house. When Nian Xue saw it, her eyes lit up; she broke free from Lin Chen's hand and ran toward the ice slide, carefully climbing up and sliding down, giggling.

At dusk, Lin Chen prepared a sumptuous dinner. Nian Xue sat in a specially made small chair, holding a small spoon, eating in small bites. Although she occasionally spilled some, she was learning quite well.

"Eat slowly, no one is grabbing it from you." Lin Chen smiled and wiped the corner of her mouth.

"Nian Xue... is good..." The little one said in a milky voice, then scooped another mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Late at night, Lin Chen coaxed Nian Xue to sleep and placed her in the gold-grade crib. The little one slept sweetly, a smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth.

He returned to the bedside, where Clear Snow was waiting for him. The two snuggled together, looking at Nian Xue in the crib, their hearts filled with peace.

[Resting World Duration: 3 Days]

[Task Time: 3 Days Remaining]

"Husband, having you and Nian Xue here is truly wonderful." Clear Snow said softly.

Lin Chen hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "From now on, the three of us will be together forever."

The moonlight outside the window filtered through the lattice, casting light on the three of them, warm and peaceful. Lin Chen knew that there would be many more challenges in the future, but as long as his wife and daughter were by his side, he would fear nothing. Anyone who dared to provoke them would only be turned into powder, becoming a stepping stone for him to protect his family.
