Chapter 453 Shen Lians Hard Work (2/2)

Shen Lian was not too excited about this, as he realised something else. His private part was lacking in male reproductive organ, and was developing its female counterpart.

He could not help but to exclaim at his misfortune. Even though at this point, gender did not matter much to him, but he still could not accept the fact that he was turning into a woman.

If it was any other cultivator, they probably would have accepted their fate. However, Shen Lian was not one of them.

He was clearly aware that the determination of gender was due to a special substance in one's body. Hence, he refined his divine thoughts and latched onto the special substance that promoted male features. While he was encouraging the secretion of that substance, he suppressed the secretion of its female counterpart.

This was too great and taxing of a task to be accomplished with his weak divine thoughts. However, he had no intention to give up.

Although, the secretion of said substance required a lot of Qi of Yang.

His 'mother' was not one who loved physical activities and spent most of her time out of the sun. Hence, the source of Qi of Yang was scarce.

With regard to this, Shen Lian could not interfere due to his fragile state.

The solution he came up with was to stall the development of the fetus. He did so by absorbing the energy available daily and to replenish his divine thoughts. Through that, he was able to slow down the physical development of his body.

Even if this would delay his birth and ended up getting treated as a freak, he had no choice now.

Whenever his 'mother' was out in the sun, he would release his divine thoughts without holding back. Greedily, he absorbed the Qi of Yang from the outside world. He spent at least two months to correct his gender to that of a male.

However, because of what he did throughout this period of time, his 'mother' became sickly and a few doctors came to diagnose her.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Mother's sister, 'Yun' only came over once in three or four days. It seemed that they did not live in the same courtyard.

Shen Lian found out that his mother was staying with her family. He had yet to meet his father.

After dealing with the issue of gender, Shen Lian had time to transfer some of the Qi and blood back to his mother. Even though he was in the Daoist 'innate' environment, he did not snatch too much of his 'mother''s Qi and blood to nurture his own body. To him, there were plenty of ways to influence his physical potential. He could work on it after being born.

In the following days, besides the necessary replenishment for his divine thoughts, he let the fetus developed naturally.

Meanwhile, he found out about something strange. Every time when the night was dark and his mother was sound asleep, he could feel a prying gaze.

However, the peeping tom seemed to be at a far distance away and he was unable to find out about the person's identity.

It was only when he developed his auditory organs that he perceived that there were two skilled individuals lurking around his mother.

One of them almost never left the courtyard. The person did not talk to his mother, and seemed to have hidden his or her existence from his mother.

As for the other person, that would be the person who had been spying on his 'mother'.

When 'mother' was in the tenth month of her pregnancy, Shen Lian was still not fully developed. If he were to have his ways, he would spend two more months before being born - even if this meant that he would be treated as a freak.

Last night, Shen Lian heard sounds of battle. The person who had been spying on his mother was fighting with his mother's guardian.

The person left at last, but his mother's guardian suffered from injuries.

Shen Lian could not wait any longer. The last thing he wanted was for something to go wrong.
