Ming Shu took out her snacks calmly. âMy dear miss, they canât wait for me to die. There is no use in taking me as hostage.â
The woman: â...â
The woman saw that the people opposite her didnât have any reaction so she believed what Ming Shu said and released her. She rushed into the courtyard.
The Lianjing sword floated beside Ming Shu. It didnât chase after the woman.
Everyone rushed in and Ming Shu spun a few times due to the impact.
She held onto the edge of the door and glared at the people who didnât manage to squeeze in.
Everyone: â...â This, this is a demonic cultivator?
Ming Shu: â...â Are you all trying to snatch my snacks again?
âLet him go!â
âLet go of Young Lord!â
Ming Shu placed her hand on her forehead. This bunch of people must be idiots.
They not only lost their young lord, they shouted out his identity in such a circumstance. Are you serious?
The courtyard was lit brightly. The woman grabbed the throat of the child. Everyone surrounded her.
The womanâs hair hung down loosely and covered half of her face. Only her eyes were visible. They were glaring at everyone hatefully.
The water-blue dress was stained with dark blood.
Her abdomen was bulging slightly like a pregnant ladyâs.
Ming Shu smiled innocently and squeezed her way to the front. The people at the scene didnât dare to fight with her now.
Ming Shu saw Chang Shengâs room door open. He stood at the side silently. Only the corner of his white robe could be seen.
âGet out of my way!â the woman shouted shrilly. âIf not, I will kill him. I have killed so many people already so it doesnât matter if I kill one more.â
When she talked about killing people, the womanâs voice shook.
âHow dare you!â
The person who spoke was someone from the Qian Yuan Sect. This child was the son of their sect leader.
âDonât come over!â The woman dug her nails into the childâs neck.
âUncle Master Hu...â the child said weakly.
âWe are here to help him. Let him go first. He is innocent.â Uncle Master Hu signaled to the little child to tell him to calm down. âWe will think of a way to help you. Calm down.â
âAm I not innocent too?â The woman got agitated. âWhy must I bear all this? I will be getting married in one monthâs time. Why... why did this thing choose me? What did I do wrong?! He is innocent but am I not innocent? I know what you all want to do! You all want to kill me!â
The woman got more agitated as she spoke. The child was almost choking to death.
âIt is not your fault. We will all try to help you. Donât be afraid...â Fang Wan said gently. âLook, there are so many people here. We will definitely think of a way to save you.â
The woman actually listened to what Fang Wan said. Maybe it was because she was a woman too.
However, she just relaxed for a moment before pushing the child in front of her again. âYou just want to kill me. I donât trust any of you.â
âMy dear miss, if you want to kill him, just kill him. Stop talking so much nonsense. The sky is going to turn bright soon. I still want to sleep.â Ming Shu yawned. âWhy are you disturbing peopleâs rest in the middle of the night?â
âJuly!â
Someone shouted angrily.
What is this devil girl trying to do now?
âLet me go! Get out of this place. Donât come in! Get out of this place! Out!â the woman shouted furiously.
âMiss, donât waste your energy. We can all hear you. You donât have to shout.â
The woman: â...â
Everyone: â...â
The woman suddenly screamed, âStop right there!â
Ming Shu said with an earnest face, âI just want to take my chair. It is tiring to keep standing.â
The woman glanced at the chair nearby. She didnât say anything.
Ming Shu walked over and pulled the chair over. Then, she sat on it.
The atmosphere was odd.
âDonât look at me. Look at her.â Why are you all looking at me? I am not going to perform for you all.
â...â This girl is definitely here to wreak some havoc.
âSect Leader.â
âSect Leader...â
âElder, you are here.â
Voices sounded outside. The crowd split into two and a group of people walked in.
The person in front must be the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect. The other two people beside him were the elders of the Wuji Sword Sect and the Chiyang Sect.
âMy son, you have suffered,â the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect said calmly as he looked at his son.
...Then?
This is it?
He didnât get furious or agitated.
No such feelings.
No emotions at all.
For a father that was able to teach his son to follow other people and not starve to death when he got lost, this reaction was acceptable.
âFather...â The child opened his mouth and squeezed out this word.
The sect leader of Qian Yuan Sect said, âLiu Cuiâer, you cannot run away.â
Liu Cuiâer shouted, âShut up!
The sect leader of Qian Yuan Sect replied, âYou are still able to turn back now. The demon baby in you is not born yet. As long as you cooperate with us, we will ensure your safety.â
Tears slid down Liu Cuiâerâs face. âEnsure my safety... no, you will kill me. You will kill me.â
The elder of Chiyang Sect explained in a low voice, âThe demon baby has its own defensive awareness. It must be affecting Liu Cuiâer and that is why she doesnât want to be caught by us.â
The elder from the Wuji Sword Sect frowned. âWe canât wait any longer. The longer we drag on, the closer the birth of the demon baby draws.â
The pregnancy period of a demon baby was different from a normal babyâs.
Liu Cuiâer was only pregnant with the demon baby for a few days, but her abdomen indicated a seven-month pregnancy.
The fact that she hurt so many people accelerated the growth of the baby.
The two elders looked at the Sect Leader of the Qian Yuan Sect together.
The hostage was his son. If they made a decision that caused his son to die, they didnât know what consequences they would face.
The sect leader of Qian Yuan Sect looked at his son and said with some grievance, âI asked you to follow people. Why are you in her hands? You are making it difficult for me.â
The sect leader attacked the moment he finished speaking.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There was no hesitation or worry at all.
Everyone: â...â We didnât see your grievance anywhere.
That is your son!
Liu Cuiâer didnât expect the sect leader to give up his own child so she was stunned for a moment. In that moment, the sect leader slapped her shoulder and snatched his son back.
âTake her down!â
The sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect put the child down and patted his pale face. âTime to regain your sense.â
The child breathed heavily. âFather...â
âIt is a good thing you are alive,â the sect leader of the Qian Yuan Sect said worriedly. âIf you die, your mother will kill me when I get back.â
Everyone: â...â Is he really your son?
The disciples of Qian Yuan Sect: â...â This was how their sect leader was. They were used to it.
...
Liu Cuiâer got taken down and she was pinned onto the ground.
The people from the Qian Yuan Sect set up an array around her to prevent her from running away.
Liu Cuiâer lay weakly on the floor. Her eyes were open and she was staring in a certain direction.
She suddenly crawled up and kowtowed. âPhysician Chang Sheng... save me. Please save me. I donât want to die.â
Everyone: â...â
What is happening?
Everyone looked at the direction she was kowtowing to. The white robe moved and Chang Sheng walked out of his room.
âPhysician Chang Sheng, please save me.â She ran all the way here because she wanted to look for Physician Chang Sheng. He could save her. He could definitely save her.
These people wanted to kill her.
She didnât want to die.
She didnât want to handle all this.
