Chapter 260Chapter 260 - Lilim's Compensation
February 10th, 183 A . D .
Julu City, Tong's resident areas .
Hua Shi was carried to her room, and all female physicians were summoned today .
There was a reason for the emergency care .
Hua Shi's water broke . It was a sign of labor .
All men were driven out of the areas, leaving only maids and physicians .
Zhang Jiao was pacing around the front of the room, praying for his daughter-in-law .
Sima Fang and Lu Zhi were there as well . They could not smile or be happy on this occasion because the father was not present in the most crucial time .
Tong was supposed to be around to take care of his wife, but he went to Zhongshan to protect the city from Liu Yan .
Everyone could not help but be frustrated by the invading neighbors . Because of them, they ruined this family's most critical moment .
To them, Hua Shi required mental supports, and the best support came from her husband .
Unfortunately, they did not know that Hua Shi was stronger than the ordinary native girls in this world . She understood the importance of Tong's quest and Zhongshan City .
Hua Shi did not mind for not having Tong around at this time as he could come back and see his child later on .
All Hua Shi had to do was to give it her best to deliver a healthy baby and survive .
Sweat was raining on her face, and her eyes were brimming in tears .
>
Tong: Sunday, I'm here with you .
Tong: No matter what, no matter where we are .
Tong: I'm here with you .
Tears rolled down from Hua Shi's eyes the moment she saw the clan messages from Tong . It was enough for her .
No words came from Hua Shi mouth during the painful hours of laboring . She gritted her teeth and gave it her best .
…
Half a day later .
"WAAAAAAA"
The crying voice of a baby alarmed everyone who was praying for Hua Shi outside . Zhang Jiao cheered and laughed for a minute before his face grimed .
The child safety was confirmed by the cry, but the safety of the mother had not been guaranteed .
The death rate of the mother during the childbirth in this era was high as the medicinal technology, and scientific treatment was next to nothing . As there was no proper treatment of high blood pressure, infection, severe bleeding, or other complication from the delivery, the mortality rate of the mother was one of the ten, which translated to 10% death rate .
Zhang Jiao's wife died after she gave birth to Tong . This was the most painful memory that he carried with him all this time .
Zhang Jiao prayed for his daughter-in-law, 'Please be safe . '
At the same time, he could not help but curse at Hua Tuo and his wife for not visiting them even once for years .
'I've sent hundreds of letters! Where the Hell is all of you!?'
Ten minutes later .
Maids and physicians came out of the room, smiling .
"Everyone, the mother and the child are healthy . Both are safe!"
Loud cheers and other noises came from the servants and Tong's subordinates . Zhang Jiao did not cheer with them this time . He only nodded in approval and clenched his fists .
The next thing he wanted to know was, was it a grandson or a granddaughter?
"It's a healthy baby girl . Congratulations, my Lord . You have a granddaughter!"
"Good … Great! Come on, all of you! We'll have a banquet tonight!"
…
…
Hua Shi lied on the bed with the clean white sheet . Next to her, a newborn baby was wrapped around in clean clothes . She kept staring at the baby in a trance .
Thousands of worries were in her mind at the moment .
Hua Shi had heard about the complication of a demon race . A demon in puberty would awaken their wings by getting themselves possessed by their [Sins] . After several hundred thousand years of pacifying their inner sins, they would revert back to their original form with all their awakened wings .
Because Hua Shi and Tong were infected with demonic blood, she was worried that this child might get possessed in the future .
Cheers and laughter from the outside could be heard, yet it was as if the time had stopped inside the room .
The tranquil time between the new mother and her first baby did not last long . A void gate opened, and a grown blond demoness with ten black tentacle wings appeared from the void .
Lilim paid Hua Shi a visit!
"Hi, I'm here to complete the task my mother had asked me . "
Hua Shi came back to her sense, "Hah? Who are you?"
"Lilim, nice to meet you . "
Hua Shi scanned her from head to toes . When she noticed the ten black wings behind Lilim's back, Hua Shi shuddered in fear as she knew about the strength of this demoness .
As a former sinner in Hell, it was natural for her to recognize a race that used to torture her .
In a shaking voice, Hua Shi asked, "What task?"
"Don't play stupid, you asked my mother to delay the skill adjustment because you were pregnant . Now that you're safe, I'm here to readjust your skills . "
"Oh, that? Can I delete some of my skills first? But wait … I've bought back my skills after you disabled all of them . You said that you'll embed it to my soul and you won't be able to change or tamper them again! Did you lie?"
A wry smile appeared on Lilim's face .
"I'll be honest with you . I half-lied about the part that I can't tamper your soul again . I can't remotely change it, but I can adjust it if I touch you directly . That's why I have to be here . "
Hua Shi still gazed at her, half-afraid and half-frustrated .
"At least, you should have told me before when you announced that! If it's like this, I want my lifespans back! I only rebought the skills because I thought they wouldn't be adjusted again . "
An annoyed expression appeared on Lilim's face . Her deep frown hinted Hua Shi that she should not push this person anymore or she and her baby would be dead .
"How about this? Give me a little compensation instead of returning my lifespans . I knew that you need those lifespans, but giving a bit of perk to someone wouldn't hurt you that much, right?"
Lilim's eyes lit up, "Right, I can do that for you . Indeed, it was my mistake for not warning you . Very well, what do you want for the compensation? I have to warn you that you cannot ask for something too absurd . "
"Simple, can you stop this child from getting possess by his [Sins] when she reaches puberty?"
Lilim glanced back and forth between Hua Shi and her baby . Then, she smiled, "No need for that . I was programming an additional system that can stop all berserking demons when a sin possesses them . This system will be implemented before your daughter comes of age . You don't have to worry about this . "
As if a mountain was lifted from Hua Shi's chest, her eyes regained light .
"Then, can you accelerate my demonic blood? I wish to be able to grow wings like my husband, Tong . "
Lilim's smile disappeared, "You don't have the creator's [Seals] like him, and I can't create those . You will go berserk if your [Sins] overwhelms you, you know? Zhang Tong might have given you an illusion that a mutated demon can grow strong like a real demon, but the reality is different . All mutated demons are prone to go berserk . "
Hua Shi looked down, disappointed by the discouragement from Lilim .
Seeing the saddened Hua Shi and her daughter, Lilim felt guilty . Thus, she came with another idea .
"How about this? The demonic mutation is too risky for you so I'll give you the safer angelic path . I can get rid of your demonic infection and awaken you as an angel right away . Or another choice, I can cancel your quest for free . Which one do you like?"
Hua Shi looked up and stared into Lilim's eyes again .
"Angel path, and I want a guide about angel powers . "
…
…
Lilim had gone, leaving Hua Shi and her baby alone .
The skill adjustment had been completed . For the sake of Hua Shi's safety, she asked Lilim to delete her unnecessary skills which were still disabled, leaving only her [Medical Gift], [Inventory], [Homing Arrow], and [Bow Mastery] .
After Lilim nerfed Hua Shi skills, she also healed Hua Shi as a bonus, so she did not suffer a severe injury . However, her system quest that she had to kill one otherworlder was skill active .
Hua Shi did not mind it . Currently, she was reading the guideline and tips that Lilim left for her . This information alone was enough to compensate for her loss .
The details were the same as what all angels in Heaven knew . Although it did not give her an advantage over other angels, it gave her a proper guideline about what she could do with the power, which was more thorough than listening to Friday's incomplete knowledge .
The power tier was similar to the demonic wing level . Two-wing angel had a similar power with a two-wing demon, and so on .
However, the way they cultivated their power was different . Demons had to redeem themselves from their [Sins] whereas angels had to strengthen their [Virtues] that was within their soul to acquire power, which was the reason why angels picked only honorable human souls to be angel candidates .
Life essence gathering ability was also different . Demons could take the life force of living humans, corpses, or animals without a backlash .
On the contrary, angels would suffer a deficit on their [Virtues] percentage had they done the same . The only way for angels to cultivate lifespans without a setback was to obtain it from nature, such as trees, spirits, or life essence in the air .
"System, check my [Virtue] . "

<[diligence] 55 . 35%="">>
<[chastity] 2%="">>
<[humility] 13 . 09%="">>
<[patience] 16 . 33%="">>
<[abstinence] 17 . 12%="">>
<[charity] 14 . 23%="">>
<[love] 88 . 65%="">>
<[honesty] 28 . 65%="">>
Instead of having [Sins] which could take control of her body, she had eight [Virtues] that did not have a risk of getting berserk .
However, she had only one attempt to turn each of her [Virtues] into a wing . If she were to fail, the [Virtue] would be gone forever . Furthermore, she could not degenerate from her guideline, or the degraded [Virtue] would disappear as well .
In this situation, if she continued to ignore her [Chastity] and act lustful with Tong, the virtue would be at risk of being deleted .
Seeing the percentage, Hua Shi laughed at herself as it told her about her behavior .
"Ahaha, I can't let Friday see my virtues, or she'll call me a slut . "
Hua Shi's [Chastity] was at the lowest, which indicated many things . However, her [Love] and [Diligence] made up for her weakness .
"I'll get my [Love] to 100% first, then I can get a stand of my own . "
Meanwhile, Tong's [Sloth Soul] had been ejected from her body as she was cultivating the angelic path now . Although it could not enter her body again, she could still use it as a ghost bodyguard for now .
There was another downside of having awakened the angelic bloodline . The demon contract that Hua Shi had formed with Tong would be annulled once she could complete her first [Virtue] . The [Sloth Soul] would be returned to Tong afterward, and she would lose the domain power .
Hua Shi gazed at the elder policeman spirit with a sigh .
"Give me times, Tong . I'll return him to you soon . Please stay with me and protect our child for the time being . "</[honesty]></[love]></[charity]></[abstinence]></[patience]></[humility]></[chastity]></[diligence]>
