Chapter 556: Chapter 554 Ningxing Gives Birth 1_1

However, this time Xia Ningxing didn’t dig up a diamond, but instead found a piece of wood as thick as a wrist.

This piece of wood...

Oh my god!

It’s Medicinal Wood!

It’s actually the long-extinct Medicinal Wood!

Xia Ningxing’s pupils shrank suddenly. She instantly dropped the diamond in her hand and carefully bent down to dig the wood out of the soil.

As the name implies, Medicinal Wood is wood that can be used in medicine.

As long as it is nurtured in nutrient solution, there is a chance it will bloom. Once it does, the blossoms can be ground up and mixed with other medicine to treat a variety of diseases.

Xia Ningxing knew this because during her boring pregnancy, she had read about it in a medical book.

However, the medical book had stated that this kind of wood had been extinct for a long time, and she never expected that she would dig it up today.

If this blossoms, it would be an invaluable treasure!

Far more precious than the diamond she found just now—by many multiples!

At this moment, Xia Ningxing had no idea that this piece of wood could potentially save millions of people.

Right now, she was delicately digging around the wood.

"Aiyo! Aiyo! My dear girl, how can you do such work!" When Nanny Wu, who had been cooking in the kitchen, saw Xia Ningxing turning over the soil with a big belly, she was so frightened she almost fainted. She quickly ran over to snatch the tool from her hand.

But before she could do anything, Mrs. Xia had already taken the tool from Xia Ningxing’s hand.

Mrs. Xia was both angry and distressed, and she took the rare opportunity to reprimand her: "Bao’er, what are you doing? You’re pregnant, you shouldn’t be doing this kind of work!"

What if, God forbid, something were to go wrong!

Seeing that they had both misunderstood, Xia Ningxing quickly explained, "Mom, Nanny Wu, don’t worry. I just wanted to get some exercise to prepare for the upcoming delivery."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Wu and Mrs. Xia finally relaxed.

Indeed, pregnant women should get more exercise to facilitate a better birthing process.

Nevertheless...

Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but frown and say, "Bao’er, if you want to get some exercise next time, just take a walk in the yard or something. Don’t do such strenuous work."

"I will remember that, Mom," Xia Ningxing acknowledged, nodding obediently.

"That’s more like it," Mrs. Xia said, her face filled with relief. Then, noticing her dirty hands and the rotten piece of wood she was holding, she added, "Bao’er, what are you holding? It’s so dirty. Throw it away quickly."

Mrs. Xia went to personally reach out and help her dispose of the item, fearing that she might catch some bacteria or virus.

"This can’t be thrown away," Xia Ningxing quickly tightened her grip on the Medicinal Wood.

Mrs. Xia didn’t understand: "What’s wrong? Isn’t it just a piece of wood?"

"Mom, this isn’t just any wood, it’s Medicinal Wood..." Xia Ningxing briefly explained to her about the Medicinal Wood.

After listening, Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but be amazed: "This thing is even more valuable than diamonds?"

"Yes!" Xia Ningxing nodded affirmatively.

Nanny Wu quickly said, "Then we must take good care of it."

"Indeed," Xia Ningxing nodded and then couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s said that Medicinal Wood is very hard to bloom, and I don’t know if it will manage to do so in the end."

Mrs. Xia stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and consoled her: "That depends on fate. Don’t force it. If it blooms, then good; if not, let it be."

Xia Ningxing met her gaze and smiled: "What you said is true, Mom."

"What’s going on here?" At that moment, the old master came out of his room, having heard the commotion.

Nanny Wu immediately answered, "Old Master, Xingxing found an extinct Medicinal Wood and also diamonds."

The old master then saw the object in Xia Ningxing’s hand and straightaway laughed and said, "Xingxing is really lucky."

"I need to go nurture Medicinal Wood, or it will wither away very quickly," Xia Ningxing said, and then immediately went to do so.

If Medicinal Wood is buried in soil, the moisture in the soil can sustain its vitality. Once dug up, if it isn’t processed in time, the water inside will quickly evaporate.

Medicinal Wood is easy to raise, it just needs to be placed in water to survive, but whether it will flower or not, that’s not something one can guarantee.

In the hopes of getting it to blossom sooner, Xia Ningxing carefully prepared a nutrient solution to nurture it.

Unfortunately...

As Xia Ningxing’s due date for childbirth was getting close, the wood still hadn’t bloomed.

Yes, Xia Ningxing was about to give birth.

She had already been admitted to the hospital.

The hospital where she was to give birth belonged to the Lu Family’s uncle. She was living in a suite on the top floor, and this entire level had been booked, with dozens of bodyguards providing 24-hour security to ensure the safety of Xia Ningxing and her child.

Media outlets reported one after another—

[Film Queen Xia Ningxing admitted to Lu Hospital this morning for childbirth!]

[Inside Film Queen Xia Ningxing’s luxurious hospital room exposed!]

[Film Queen’s childbirth, a grand lineup!]

[Xia Ningxing’s due date set!]

Upon seeing this news, the fans and the public sent their blessings—

"Ahh! Baby Xing’s baby is finally about to be born!"

"I’m so happy! It’s almost more exciting than if I were having a baby myself!"

"I’m happy too, but more than that, I’m scared. I hope Baby Xing can have a safe mother and child!"

"Baby Xing is such a good girl; surely, nothing will go wrong!"

"Haha, it’s just childbirth, what’s there to worry about!"

"The person above must be a man, do you have any idea how much pain and risk a woman has to endure during childbirth!"

"That’s right! Such insensitive remarks from someone untouched by the pain! Trash!"

"I wonder if Baby Xing is having a boy or a girl!"

"Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll love them either way!"

"Me too, the person above!"

"I’m just so done, it’s just childbirth, and it still makes headlines!"

"The sad state of the entertainment era, where these people steal all the spotlight."

Online opinions were divided into two camps, with loving fans both rejoicing for Xia Ningxing’s childbirth and sweating bullets for her, fearing an accident could happen.

The detractors were busy spewing venom, and one could easily mistake them for thinking Xia Ningxing had murdered their entire family.

However, every time such comments appeared, the loving fans would retort so fiercely that the other side wouldn’t dare to make a peep.

Their combat power was solid!

No need for a paid army or public relations!

While the internet was a battleground, back in reality, Xia Ningxing, with her big belly, was pacing back and forth in her hospital room, trying to move as much as possible before childbirth, hoping for a natural delivery.

After all, women who give birth naturally recover faster!

Lu Tingli was supporting her, looking at the beads of sweat on her forehead, and couldn’t help but speak in a deep voice, "Ningxing, stop walking, sit down and rest. You’ve had plenty of exercise during pregnancy; you don’t need to worry about this little time."

"Let me walk a little more," Xia Ningxing refused.

In fact, her constant pacing wasn’t just for the sake of an easier delivery; more importantly, her mind was a mess, unable to sit still. Walking at least helped alleviate some of the tension and anxiety.
