After Papa left, Lucy went to the door of Mom's bedroom. "Selena, can I go see Mommy?" Lucy asks. Instantly reverting to an intimate form of address for her Mom. Selena hesitates. "Concubine Lani is resting. You know that she's expecting a baby. Women require rest, and gentle care while pregnant." Selena says, stroking Lucy's hair. "Why don't you go draw for a while, and Concubine Lani can come to you when she wakes up" Selena offers.
Lucy shakes her head. "No. I want to see Mommy. I will just lay down quietly with Mommy" Lucy says. Selena purses her lips, and sighs. "Okay, Little Mistress. Just for a little while" Selena says, opening the door for her.
The curtains were drawn around the bed. Selena tiptoes to the bed and gently places Lucy on it. Crawling over the blankets, Lucy wiggles underneath, laying her ear on Mom's stomach and wrapping her arms around her waist.
Lucy closes her eyes. Feeling the bright energy of the babies. They were so small but their sex had already begone to take shape. One was definitely a girl, while Lucy wasn't sure for the other one. I wonder if they are identical or fraternal? It was hard to say. While at first, she only felt a single energy spark, their power was so similar she could have been supplying two fetuses' power without noticing.
Focus. Lucy reminds herself. Lucy opens her shields, sensing Primal Energy, and draws it into her gasp. However, Lucy didn't recklessly apply it, remembering her own experience in the womb. Primal energy definitely strengthens, but if it's applied to just the Spirit Seed the rest of the body can't keep up.
Lucy teases out a strand of Primal Energy, gently pushing it into the womb. A moment later, the unsex fetus absorbs it. Lucy bites her tongue, watching it closely. It seemed almost...
Brighter?
Hah! I am right! This is so worth experimenting on Meng Long.
Lucy hadn't able to resist when she noticed Meng Long's lack of shields.
Such an opportunity to examine his inner sky was precious. Even now, the one-year-old's inner sky was growing translucent shields. Within a couple of months, she would no longer be able to touch his inner sky.
She only dared transfer Primal Energy drip by drip but the results were amazing. His body was healthier, and his powers grew brighter. Even almost two months later, there weren't any ill effects.
With the fetuses, I must be even more cautious. Lucy centers herself. She wasn't willing to screw this up because of carelessness.
Strand after strand, Lucy transfers Primal Energy into her Mom's womb, allowing the babies to take it in on their own.
By the time they stopped 'eating' the Primal Energy, their glows were as bright as her own lifeforce. Amazing!
