The head veterinarian quickly chimed in with more details.
After listening, Yang Qi didn’t hesitate. "No problem," he said. "Leave it to me."
He quickly went to the disinfection area to the side, putting on dedicated shoe covers, a mask, and gloves.
He then picked up a pre-prepared bucket filled with freshly cut meat and a special nutrient water, nodded to everyone, and gently pushed open the inner door to the birthing room.
The inside of the birthing room was meticulously arranged. The lighting was soft, the temperature and humidity were ideal, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of clean, dry hay.
At that moment, Big Flower was lying on her side in the center of the hay pile. Beneath her were already three small, wet leopard cubs, their eyes shut, instinctively nuzzling into their mother’s warmth.
Big Flower’s abdomen was still greatly swollen, a clear sign that more cubs were on the way.
She looked utterly exhausted. Her breathing was heavy, her tongue lolled out, yet her eyes remained vigilant, filled with the ferocity of a mother protecting her cubs.
Seeing someone else enter, she immediately let out a low, warning growl and struggled to lift her head.
"Big Flower, it’s me."
The moment he entered, Yang Qi immediately used the Basic Spirit Communication Technique, speaking gently, "Easy now, Big Flower. Take it slow. You’re doing great. First, eat something, drink some water, and get your strength back."
Hearing the familiar voice and catching the familiar scent, the vigilance and ferocity in Big Flower’s eyes visibly faded, and her tense body relaxed slightly.
As he spoke, Yang Qi gently placed the food bucket a careful distance from Big Flower.
Then, with his back to the observation window behind him, he used his body as a screen, swiped his right hand across his waist, and retrieved a piece of Vitality Nutrient Cream.
With a mere thought, he activated his Object Manipulation Technique. The Vitality Nutrient Cream, as if held by an invisible hand, flew steadily and slowly until it hovered right before Big Flower’s eyes.
Big Flower’s nose twitched. The enticing, energy-rich aroma seemed to jolt her awake. She quickly opened her mouth, and with a flick of her tongue, swallowed the cream whole.
"Whuff..."
It was a low, comfortable growl, tinged with gratitude.
’Thank you...’
A warm sensation spread rapidly through her exhausted body, dispelling the chill and weakness, and bringing with it new strength.
Seemingly revitalized, Big Flower settled back down as her abdomen began to contract rhythmically.
"Yes, just like that! You can do it, Big Flower!"
Yang Qi encouraged her softly, pushing the food bucket a little closer to her mouth.
This time, Big Flower didn’t resist. She turned her head, devoured several pieces of fresh meat, and drank some water.
After replenishing her energy and fluids, she seemed to have regained a good deal of her strength.
A short while later, with a forceful, low growl, the fourth leopard cub was safely born.
"Way to go!"
Yang Qi continued to soothe her, taking out another piece of Vitality Nutrient Cream and sending it over with his Object Manipulation Technique.
Big Flower swallowed it again, ate some more meat, and conserved her strength.
Before long, the fifth and sixth cubs were also born safely.
Now, there was only one left!
But Big Flower’s breathing grew ragged and weak again. Giving birth to six cubs in a row, even with the help of the Vitality Nutrient Cream, had taken an immense toll on her.
The prepared meat was all gone.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Yang Qi took out two Strengthening Pills, paired them with another piece of Vitality Nutrient Cream, and once again used his Object Manipulation Technique to deliver them to Big Flower’s mouth.
"Big Flower, one last push! Hold on! Your children are all waiting for you," Yang Qi’s voice was filled with power and confidence.
Big Flower seemed to understand. She swallowed the pills and the cream, and a surge of warmth even more powerful than before exploded within her body.
She let out a long, low growl with all her might, and her body contracted violently—
Finally, with a faint cry, the last little leopard cub entered the world.
"Success! Big Flower, you’re the best mom!"
Yang Qi let out a long sigh of relief, his face filled with sincere joy and admiration.
He immediately took a few steps forward to carefully sense the seven newborn cubs.
Though they were wrinkled and wet from birth, each one had a strong heartbeat and a steady aura. They were all perfectly healthy.
’As expected of the Creation (Fertility) Pill! Septuplets, and all of them are healthy!’
Yang Qi marveled to himself.
The very moment he confirmed that all the cubs were healthy—
[Detected that the host’s raised Gale Spirit Leopard has successfully given birth to seven healthy cubs, strengthening the sect’s foundation and bloodline potential. Special Reward: Spirit Beast Pouch]
’Big Flower gives birth, and the system gives me a reward for it?’
’And it’s something as amazing as a Spirit Beast Pouch?!’
Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
A Spirit Beast Pouch wasn’t some ordinary Storage Magical Artifact.
It was a Spatial Treasure, specifically designed to house Spirit Beasts!
Living Spirit Beasts could be taken into it. The pouch contained its own pocket dimension, complete with air and an environment of Spiritual Qi suitable for survival. Inside, a Spirit Beast could hibernate, recover, and even cultivate for short periods!
With this, the next time Yang Qi wanted to take Xiaojiu, Bai Wan, and the others out, he wouldn’t have to worry about transportation, accommodations, or being discovered.
He could put them directly into the Spirit Beast Pouch and carry them with him!
It would make even international travel a breeze.
This held immeasurable value for his future, whether for long journeys, special missions, or even exploring the wider world.
’What a wonderful surprise!’
Suppressing his excitement, Yang Qi’s gaze fell upon the exhausted Big Flower, who was now lovingly licking her cubs.
"You’ve been through a lot, Big Flower. Rest well."
Big Flower responded with a low murmur, her focus entirely on her children.
Yang Qi carefully checked on Big Flower and her cubs one more time. After confirming that everything was stable, he picked up the empty bucket and walked out of the birthing room.
Outside the door, all eyes, fraught with tension, instantly focused on Yang Qi.
Yang Qi took off his mask, a relaxed smile on his face. He nodded to the eagerly waiting crowd and announced in a clear voice,
"It was a success. Mother and cubs are safe and sound. All seven have been delivered, and they’re all healthy."
Phew...
"That’s wonderful!"
"Big Flower is incredible!"
"Septuplets, and they all survived? It’s a miracle! A true miracle!"
