357. Split into pieces

A month and more had passed, yet my belly hadn't stirred in the slightest—it didn't seem to be a snake offspring, for Ninth Master Chang said that if it were, my belly should have shown signs of pregnancy after half a month.

But after a month, my belly was still flat, which suggested it was indeed a human child.

I was naturally delighted, for birthing children is an easier process, whether it be natural or cesarean—the problems aren't significant.

At the very least, I could go to the hospital to give birth.

Giving birth to an egg...

Especially an egg as big as a rice cooker; even if I didn't die from it, I'd certainly faint from the pain.

And the most terrifying thing was the inability to go to the hospital...

Even if I did go, I had no experience in laying eggs, and doctors had no experience in delivering snake eggs.

Though my belly showed little reaction after a month, the little turtles were about to hatch.
