C16 (2/2)

It was good that he didn't look, but upon seeing it, he was startled.

In just a split-second, Lan Xiang's initially flat belly suddenly swelled up like a drum. It was as if she was seven or eight months old, and the dull drumming sound came from her stomach.

However, Grandpa Chen didn't let go immediately. His complexion became even more unsightly. The hand gently placed on Lan Xiang's belly also began to tremble. A few drops of sweat flowed down along the wrinkles on his old face.

However, this process did not last long, at most less than a minute later. Grandfather Chen gave a stuffy grunt, and his body suddenly trembled, falling onto the ground in the end. His deep purple lips trembled slightly, and the panic on his face was not concealed at all.

This matter originally seemed very ordinary, but because of Grandpa Chen's reaction, I was greatly shocked. I really didn't understand what had happened in the middle and couldn't help but turn my face to look at Yi Yun. His face was filled with shock, his brows knitted together into a square.

”Amazing.” Grandpa Chen let out a long sigh. He stood up shakily as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant. He looked at Lan Xiang who seemed to be in deep sleep and walked back and forth on his walking stick.

”With flesh and blood as a medium and soul as a guide, this blood-related, half-human, half-ghost thing is indeed very powerful …” In the end, Grandpa Chen seemed to have no other way, so he helplessly shook his head towards Yi Yun with a pleading look in his eyes.

Although I was confused, I could roughly hear something from these words. It must be that the great ox's soul had entered Lanxiang's fetus, making it difficult for her to handle this matter.

Thus, I also turned my head to look at Yi Yun. Although I felt that this matter had nothing to do with me, in any case, I was still quite curious.

Unfortunately, Yi Yun remained silent. Finally, with hesitation, he took out a bag from his bosom. The bag was about the size of a fist and was filled to the brim. No one knew what was inside.

When Yi Yun opened it and took a look, I found that it was filled with white rice.

I couldn't help but be astonished in my heart. His body was covered with fragrant ashes and rice, why did he bring such a strange item along with him?

However, Yi Yun didn't pay attention to my curious gaze. He leisurely walked to Lan Xiang's side, scooped out a few grains of rice and gently sprinkled them onto Lan Xiang's stomach.

His actions were ordinary, and the rice he sprinkled was also ordinary. However, these few grains of rice were not ordinary at all.

As soon as the rice grains fell in the air, there was a puff of black smoke coming out of Lanxiang's stomach, instantly wrapping the rice up. After several soft ”pu” sounds, the rice, which was previously as white as jade, instantly turned into black ash. The entire mourning hall suddenly overflowed with an unpleasant stench, as if a pig had been dead for dozens of days.

I covered my nose as my heart was filled with amazement. However, when I recalled the black air that was gushing out earlier, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I thought to myself that Da Niu who ran into Lan Xiang's stomach was really ferocious.

Yi Yun furrowed his brows, silently looking at the scene in front of him. In the end, he helplessly shook his head as if his strength was insufficient.

”Elder Chen, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter.” Yi Yun retreated to my side, his expression was rather unsightly.

Grandpa Chen sighed and shook his head.

At this time, Lan Xiang's lower abdomen once again went up and down. Moreover, the bulges were especially obvious. It was as if she had a baby that was about to be born.

Grandpa Chen's expression changed drastically as he looked at Yi Yun with an inquiring look. ”The birth of a soul … we have to think of a way to deal with this matter. Otherwise, countless lives will be lost!”

Yi Yun chuckled upon hearing that, then shook his head and waved his hand. He looked at me and said, ”It's not that I don't want to do anything, but I really don't have any other way. This soul is not to be underestimated.

However, Yi Yun changed the subject again. He said with a smile that confused me, ”Unless a person with a tough life restrains himself and accepts this little thing, then there might be a chance of survival.”

As Yi Yun's voice fell, he and Grandpa Chen both looked at me.

I raised my finger to point at my nose with a face full of doubt. Even though I had a tough life, I really couldn't do this. If it weren't for the two of them, I would have already run off to who knows where.
