The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 801 - 771: The Suddenly Grown Tree_1

"Baibai, where is that tree that suddenly appeared?" Situ Xin asked, her tone not very pleasant as she saw Baibai appear. Fortunately, Baibai had grown accustomed to these mood swings of her master over the past few days.

In the past, Baibai would suppress its feelings, reminding itself not to get angry because its master didn’t do it on purpose. Eventually, after it happened many times, Baibai became completely immune to Situ Xin’s unpleasant tone.

Without detecting any displeasure in Situ Xin’s words, Baibai began to walk toward her and said, "Master, follow me; it’s just up ahead."

The tree that had suddenly grown was indeed not far from where Situ Xin had been standing, which made her mutter, "This tree really picked a strange place to grow. Where I was standing before wasn’t bad either."

As for the muttering Situ Xin was doing under her breath, Baibai pretended not to hear any of it. It said to Situ Xin, "Master, this is the tree I told you about. Come and see the fruit for yourself."

Situ Xin walked a few steps forward. When she clearly saw the fruit on the tree, she subconsciously looked at Baibai and asked, "Baibai, are you sure the things you told me about this fruit are true? You’re not mistaken?"

"Yes, Master, I wouldn’t get such an important matter wrong," Baibai assured her, understanding Situ Xin’s current feelings. It too had been shocked when it first saw the fruit and had carefully observed Situ Xin’s belly, but it found nothing out of the ordinary.

"How is that possible? How can I fit three babies in my stomach? And even a girl and two boys, that’s a bit too... too..." Situ Xin pointed at the three fruits on the tree and struggled to find the right words.

"Master, I think it’s quite good," Baibai said, trying to comfort her. "Look at how many people in your family are eagerly awaiting the baby’s birth. If there were only one baby in your belly, everyone might fight over the baby’s custody after the birth. But with three, the allocation problem becomes much easier." Although Baibai’s words were meant to comfort Situ Xin, they reflected its true feelings. From the initial shock and disbelief Baibai felt when it learned there were three babies in Situ Xin’s belly, it was now relieved because it would have a greater chance to be with the babies after their birth.

Considering Baibai’s words, Situ Xin found them logical. Seeing her family’s eager anticipation just by looking at her belly proved how much they were looking forward to the birth of the baby. "You’re making sense. Besides, this means I’ll have both sons and daughters. Then I won’t have to worry about wanting a daughter after having a son or regretting not having a son after a daughter," she said, turning her gaze back to the fruit on the tree. "So Baibai, when can these fruits be picked?"

"You can pick them now," Baibai said with a hint of excitement. Deep down, it was curious about these once-in-a-century, or rather, once-in-two-year happenings.

"Oh, then Baibai, you damn thing, why didn’t you just pick the fruits and bring them to me? You actually made me come all this way, not knowing that I’m carrying three babies in my stomach," Situ Xin flared up again.

Baibai felt terribly wronged, "Master, it’s not that I didn’t want to help you pick them." It really did want to help Situ Xin pick the fruits and take a closer look at them. "But, Master, the fruit will only be effective if you pick it yourself. If someone else, including me, Baibai, picks it, the fruit will lose its effects."

"Oh, I see, that’s how it is. I’m sorry, Baibai; I was wrong to blame you just now," Situ Xin said, able to admit her mistake and apologizing to Baibai immediately.

"No problem, master. You should pick them quickly," Baibai said. How could it possibly hold a grudge against a pregnant woman, especially one carrying triplets and with such unstable emotions?

The tree was not very tall and was shorter than Situ Xin. The tree, except for the three fruits—one pink and two blue—was covered in lush green leaves. As Situ Xin moved closer to the tree, she felt the spiritual energy grow denser. This spiritual energy was different from that elsewhere in this space; it made Situ Xin feel particularly comfortable, and her mood settled. She also sensed her babies’ joy inside her belly.

What Situ Xin and Baibai didn’t notice was that as Situ Xin stepped closer to the tree, three strands of spiritual energy were slowly seeping into her belly from the tree above.

As Situ Xin stood in front of the three fruits and reached out to pick them, she unexpectedly turned back to ask Baibai, "Baibai, is it okay for me to pick them now, or should I wait a few more days for them to ripen more before picking?"

"Master, you should pick them quickly; if you miss the time limit, even if you pick and eat the fruits, they will be of no use to the babies," Baibai replied. These fruits were to be eaten during the early stages of pregnancy. Moreover, Baibai had a premonition that after eating the fruits, its master’s temper, which was changing unpredictably, would likely improve.

So, for the sake of its future little master, and for the happiness of its own life, its owner better hurry up and eat these fruits.

After hearing Baibai’s words, Situ Xin no longer hesitated. She carefully plucked the three fruits.

Seeing her owner pick the fruits and not eat them, preparing to hide them instead, Baibai quickly spoke up to stop her, "Master, you should eat these three fruits quickly, the spiritual energy is most abundant right after they’re picked, which will be better for the baby in your belly. If too much time passes, the effect will diminish."

"Really?" Situ Xin asked, but she still took a bite of the pink fruit she had plucked. As soon as she bit into it, the fruit melted into her mouth, and before she could even taste it, it had already entered her stomach.

Unable to savor the taste of the pink fruit, Situ Xin was extra cautious when eating the next two blue fruits, hoping to at least discern their flavor. However, no matter how careful she was, she couldn’t taste anything.

Situ Xin did feel that after swallowing the three fruits, the three babies in her belly first became exuberant, then entirely calmed down. Moreover, the irritation that had troubled her these past days disappeared all at once.

"Master, how do you feel now?" Baibai asked cautiously after watching Situ Xin eat all three fruits.

"The feeling... it’s as if my mood has suddenly become much calmer." Situ Xin didn’t make any effort to use her own spiritual energy, so upon feeling, she simply noticed that the irritability that had troubled her for so long was gone.

"Oh, that’s good, then the fruit must have worked," Baibai said, relieved. Its premonition was quite accurate.

"But Baibai, before I could sense the emotions of the babies in my belly, why can’t I feel them now?" While Baibai was talking, Situ Xin tried to sense the condition of the babies inside her, but unlike before, she couldn’t immediately detect their moods.

"Ah, there’s no need to worry, master. The little masters have begun cultivating after eating the fruits. They will utilize the innate spiritual energy and start their cultivation while in your belly," Baibai said, internally marveling that its little masters would become such defy-the-heavens beings in the future.

If this were the past Cultivation World, its little masters would surely be as gods.

If Situ Xin knew what Baibai was thinking right now, she would definitely roll her eyes at it. Wouldn’t Situ Xin herself be a godlike being if she were in the Cultivation World? And for the offspring of a god to become a god, isn’t that to be expected?

Currently unaware of Baibai’s thoughts, Situ Xin found the idea that her babies had started cultivating to be not bad at all. Moreover, in the coming month, she would be very busy with many things, so knowing that they were cultivating gave her peace of mind.

"Oh, that’s good then, I’ll go draw up the design plans," she said. freēwēbnovel.com

"Eh? Master, aren’t you sleepy? Just now..." Baibai started, concerned about her owner Situ Xin who had looked extremely tired earlier when it had gone to call her, almost earning a scolding from her if she had woken up in a bad mood.

"Oh, I’m not sleepy now; I’ve had more than enough sleep recently. I am feeling very energetic, and besides, the engagement party and wedding with Muli are just around the corner. I’ve got to hurry. After all, an engagement and wedding happen only once in a lifetime; I can’t be careless." After speaking, Situ Xin vanished in a flash, leaving Baibai, the White Tiger, standing alone on the mountaintop.

"I never expected the fruit to have such a huge effect," Baibai remarked, turning to look back at the tree, only to be stunned: where was a tree to be seen, let alone even grass? This left Baibai utterly astonished.

And just as the household was bustling with preparations for Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s engagement party, in the provincial committee compound of a certain province, inside a villa, a quarrel was brewing.
