However, just a few months later, Hua Feiyan detected something unusual.
It seemed she was⦠pregnant!
âHow could this happen!â
Hua Feiyan was completely dumbfounded!
âHow could I be pregnant!â
In the Devil Immortal Realm, within a cave abode, Hua Feiyan still stood there, stupefied.
The area of this cave abode was not small, one abode was even larger than the entirety of Tianchuan State.
To an ordinary person, it already constituted a vast world.
This also attested to Hua Feiyanâs own power.
Moreover, her cave abode seemed to be filled with a floating aura of immortality, hardly tainted by any Demon Qi.
If someone entered her abode, they would think they had arrived within the dwelling of some Immortal in the Immortal World.
This was due to the unique qualities of the cultivation technique she practiced.
At that moment, Hua Feiyan couldnât understand how she could have become pregnant. Of course, the child she carried was naturally Qin Changqingâs.
After all, she had never even touched the hand of another man besides Qin Changqing.
Itâs extremely difficult for an Immortal to conceive.
Itâs not that they canât, itâs just that the difficulty is too great, and if an Immortal does not wish it, pregnancy is impossible.
Naturally, Hua Feiyan was quite careful.
Over those past years, every time, she thoroughly expelled anything left by Qin Changqing.
Yet despite all precautions, she had still become pregnant.
Hua Feiyan thought it over and could only attribute it to the accident a few months prior.
A few months earlier, she was full of confidence, bringing Bai Zhi with her, intent on seeking revenge on Qin Changqing and settling her grudges.
But she hadnât expected Qin Changqingâs strength to have surged so much that he had immobilized both her and Bai Zhi. In her frustration, combined with discussing strategies with Bai Zhi, perhaps they had been a little too late in handling it,
Or perhaps not meticulously enough.
And then.
She was caught off guard!
âWhat should I do now!â
Hua Feiyan had to accept the reality that she was indeed pregnant.
After accepting it, only one question remained.
That was⦠what to do!
Even if she was pregnant, if she didnât want the child, it would just take a single thought to make the barely sprouted being vanish without a trace.
Moreover, this child was that detestable Qin Changqingâs.
But for some reason.
Hua Feiyanâs first thought was not to get rid of the child.
Instead, she cursed Qin Changqing.
After cursing for quite a while, she still didnât feel relieved.
âHmph, Iâll give birth to this child and use the child toâ¦â
However, at this thought, her malicious intent dissipated.
Even though she was a Demon Immortal, if it really came to using the child to get revenge on Qin Changqing, she couldnât bring herself to do it.
And after so many years, although she had attempted to deal with Qin Changqing time and again, the actual hatred she held for him in the depths of her heart was no longer as profound.
Perhaps it was affection that grew over time, or perhaps it was a unique charisma that Qin Changqing possessed.
It might even be the effect of Stockholm syndrome.
Although Hua Feiyan still intended to capture Qin Changqing and plant the Demon Mark on him, and teach him a harsh lesson, deep down, she no longer had much of a desire to kill Qin Changqing.
In the end, Hua Feiyan thought it over but couldnât make up her mind.
With complicated thoughts, she stood atop a terrifyingly high peak within her cave abode, lost in her own world for a long time.
To call such a peak a mountain was, in fact, inaccurate.
In the Immortal World, some mountains were incredibly high, enough to hang numerous planets upon them.
That was rather normal.
In the universe before Qin Changqingâs transmigration, there was a Pillar of Creation, like three pillars combined, with tens of thousands of stars within, spanning several light years.
In the Immortal Worldâs land and Star Sea, such wonders were not uncommon.
After being lost in her thoughts for several months, Hua Feiyan also had a dream.
Unsurprisingly, in that dream, Qin Changqing appeared again.
âHmph!â
Upon seeing Qin Changqing, Hua Feiyan felt a surge of anger.
Her belly had already started to swell.
Qin Changqing was the culprit!
Qin Changqing was somewhat perplexed; Hua Feiyanâs attitude this time was different from before.
Fearing that Qin Changqing would detect something was amiss, Hua Feiyan, who hadnât dreamed in a long time, immediately shattered this dream.
âLetâs speak after you come down!â
In the end, she made a decision.
He would come down.
Over the past few months, watching her belly grow day by day, Hua Feiyanâs thoughts also underwent a change.
She experienced the magic of life.
Moreover, her past experiences werenât all that different from Youyueâs.
Initially, she was forced to become a Demon Cultivator, going through numerous hardships before she finally became a Demon Immortal.
But in fact, she wanted to become an Immortal.
She was in the Demon Realm, yet her heart yearned for the light.
Thatâs why her cultivation technique was so unique, and she liked to pretend to be a fairy in front of others.
Itâs just that, once she acted, her true nature would be revealed.
Her Immortal Element was actually a Demon Immortal Spirit.
When alone, Hua Feiyan would imagine how wonderful it would have been if she had entered the Immortal World from the beginning.
But there were no âifs.â
The things she had experienced could no longer be changed.
If she entered the Immortal World, she would only become a target for all.
Even if she told the Immortals that she wished to become one of them, would anyone believe her?
Demon Immortals are cunning without exception. Even if some believed her, many more would be unwilling to do so.
Thus, if she wanted to enter the Immortal World, there were only two methods.
One was to become invincible, but that method⦠was merely wishful thinking.
The other method was reincarnation.
But that was a risky affair,
especially for Demon Immortals.
Even for ordinary Immortals, the success rate of reincarnating was only about ten to twenty percent.
For Demon Immortals, the success rate was less than ten percent.
Furthermore, the Reincarnation Fruit was not easily obtained in the Devil Immortal Realm. Hua Feiyan didnât have one either.
Therefore, both methods were not feasible.
Sometimes, thatâs just how human psychology works.
Like Qin Changqing before he traveled through time, some people who had a hard life without much culture would pin their hopes on their offspring.
Aside from a minority of extreme cases, most people didnât wish to take advantage of their descendants or enjoy their prosperity.
Instead, they hoped their descendants would fulfill their unachieved wishes and live the life they themselves couldnât.
As long as their descendants were doing well, they would be content enduring hardship, watching their offspring stand in the sunlight and enjoying the elite life only portrayed in TV dramas.
That was a feeling of compensation.
Now, Hua Feiyan felt the same way.
She hoped her child⦠could replace her and become an Immortal!
So, she decided to give birth to the child and raise it herself.
Though she was a Demon Immortal, she knew quite a bit about Immortals. She also had Immortal Stones from the Immortal World, as well as a large number of Fairy Stones and Cultivation Techniques.
Naturally, she didnât use this child to play on Qin Changqingâs emotions.
In fact, she didnât even plan to let Qin Changqing know of the childâs existence.
âJust like that!â
Hua Feiyan happily made her decision.
In the following time, she didnât go out but stayed at home to suppress her Demon Immortal power.
Then, she continuously nourished herself with various Spiritual Objects.
In her body, there actually was a faint presence of the bright side power belonging to Cultivators, but it was very weak, only equivalent to the level of the Golden Elixir.
