"What in the Immortal Realm is taking so long? It's been over two hours!" a man cursed as he paced back and forth.

"Relax, my son. Your wife should be giving birth soon. I sense more than one child in her womb, and the first childbirth is always the most excruciating. After all, something beautiful is always born through extreme pain. That beautiful thing is called life," an old man replied.

"Congratulations, my son. You are the father of a girl and two boys," an elderly woman smiled as she entered through the doors, watching the father-to-be pacing like he was walking on hot coals.

"Three?" the two men exclaimed in unison, rushing into the room. The old woman sighed as her husband and son hurried past her.

Inside, they saw blood-stained sheets beneath a pale, sweaty woman who had lost consciousness. The first man let out a breath of relief as he felt her breathing steady, knowing she would be alright. Turning their attention to the three crying babies, their eyes tightly shut, they saw them placed atop a smaller bed. The blood had been wiped from their bodies, though their hair was still too bloodied to tell its color.

"They are arranged in the order of their birth, from left to right. The girl came first, five minutes before the second child. The last one was born seven minutes after the second. We had to turn him in the womb because his head wasn’t positioned correctly. She lost a lot of blood and will need to remain bedridden longer than usual," the new grandmother explained with a smile. "Triplets. The Heavens are truly smiling on the Guo Clan. I had only sensed twins. What a wonderful little miracle."
