C122 (2/2)

”If you want to know, why not just ask me?”

I looked at their pale smiles and made up my mind.

The white robed ghost was so frightened that he immediately fell down from the tree. He looked at me in terror. ”Qingming, she can actually see us!”

I was amused by his teasing look. The expression on the ghost called Qingming, who was dressed in white, turned serious.

I was about to continue speaking, when I saw Huang Chengyun bringing everyone towards me.

He glanced at them and said, ”All of you, hurry up and hide. That evil Taoist is very powerful!”

Seeing that they didn't have any intentions towards me, I reminded them in a low voice.

The two ghosts looked at each other, then disappeared.

Just as they disappeared, Huang Chengyun had already arrived in front of me. When he looked at me this time, his face had already turned gloomy and cold.

He reached out his hand and broke a handful of willow branches. Then, he started to whip me.

”Huang Lingyue, if you do not repent and question the protection of this Yin Fetus, then don't blame your grandfather for not showing mercy!”

It seemed that he really had put his heart into it this time. The pain of the willow branch hitting my body made me gasp continuously, and the pain in my stomach became more and more obvious.

Under Huang Chengyun's enticing slaps, I felt that the child in my stomach had slowly stopped struggling.

I felt my nerves tighten. Was the baby dying?

I quickly soothed the baby in my stomach, and the baby seemed to sense my thoughts. It moved a little towards me, and then it stopped moving.

Huang Chengyun and his son became anxious, it was not easy to lure them out, but now they were stunned, how could they be willing to do so?

The child was indeed young, and this time I was tied to a willow tree.

It didn't take long for me to feel that the child in my belly had a sense of isolation...

Just then, Huang Chengyun took out a bag of red powder from his back, preparing to sprinkle it onto the child when he comes out.

Looking at that color, I already had the answer in my heart. That thing should be cinnabar.

Red sand, even yang items, was commonly used in talismans drawn by exorcism.

When I saw the cinnabar, I couldn't help but recall the words that Taoist Ling Yun had said yesterday.

Huang Chengyun observed my body, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face, and the hand holding the cinnabar slowly rose.

”Don't hurt him, don't …”

I kept shaking my head, trying to stop Huang Chengyun's actions.

”No, no matter how much blood you want, I'll give it to you. Don't hurt him …”

”Hmph, what do I need your blood for. You went against the heavens and gave birth to a ghost embryo, and I did it for the sake of the common people of the world. Lingyue, don't blame Grandfather for being ruthless!”

”What a joke. You clearly did it for your own selfish desire, but yet you say it in such a dignified manner. You really don't feel ashamed!”

When I looked at Huang Chengyun's ugly face, I felt disgusted.

”Nonsense, I can't tolerate you!”

Huang Chengyun became angry from the embarrassment. It was probably because he was worried that I would continue speaking, but he raised his hand and sprinkled the cinnabar onto my head and stomach.

I felt like I couldn't move, and my child couldn't move either.

When Huang Chengyun put down the willow branch in his hand, he smugly glanced at me. When he turned around, he immediately changed into the appearance of a kind old man.

He said to the villagers, ”Fellow villagers, just now, I had already taught this foolish granddaughter of mine a lesson. She is still young and doesn't understand, please let her go. I will let the Yin Fetus in her stomach go once I return home …”
