Xuanyuan Liting was sitting at her desk, organizing rubbings of the Primordial Fragment Stele for Hu Yuan. Her fingertips gently brushed over the yellowed xuan paper, when she suddenly noticed the originally dim starry patterns tremble with a low hum, glowing faintly to form a twin lotus flower on the paper—this was the "spirit-conceiving omen" unique to the Nine Yin Constitution. According to ancient texts of the Túshān Clan from a millennium ago, once this sign appeared, a spiritual fetus would surely be born into the world.
"This..." Hu Yuan's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt. He took Liting's hand, and the Primordial Fragment Stele at his dantian began to glow with a warm radiance, blending with the halo of the twin lotus on the paper to weave into a ring, wrapping around them like an unbreakable vow.
Liting's cheeks flushed slightly as she gently covered her lower abdomen with her fingertips, whispering, "Last night, I dreamed of a lotus blooming in my dantian, and a baby was sitting on its petals... and even smiling at me."
