C33 (1/2)
I looked at Xia Mingyuan in astonishment. I didn't expect that there would be such a history. I finally knew why Su Biao's expression changed when he heard my words. So it was because of this reason.
”Then what does this have to do with the egg in my stomach?”
Xia Mingyuan didn't look at me when he told me about that history. He just looked at the scenery outside the window and spoke in a low voice. After I asked this question, he seemed to see hope. He turned around and smiled as he told me, ”Little Yin, because you aren't the first human to have gotten pregnant with a spirit demon.
A hundred years ago, the Spirit Ghost Clan's Zhao Yusheng went against the heavens, taking the Spirit Ghost Clan's forbidden medicine to survive with the human race and successfully gave birth to a baby. This child has successfully grown up, and is currently an extremely outstanding figure within the Spirit Ghost Clan. ”
I stared into Xia Mingyuan's eyes, and I could see the exuberant hope in his eyes, as if it were all in the egg I was carrying.
”Since Survival Water can allow the Spirit Ghost Race and humans to merge and give birth to normal children, why not remove it? Wouldn't that allow the Spirit Ghost Race to reproduce normally? ”
Xia Mingyuan shook his head and said somewhat dejectedly, ”The Spirit Ghost Clan tried before, but none of them succeeded. Looking back, he found out that although Zhao Yusheng's wife knew that Zhao Yusheng was a ghost and she didn't want to part with him, the Zhao Family wanted to kill her and humiliate the Zhao Family's bloodline. Zhao Yusheng had no choice but to plant the Wutong Lovesick Formation on her in order to protect his wife at all times. ”
Only now do I understand that the phrase 'Phoenix Blood Woman' that I neglected when I was doing this was actually a very important point. He had always thought that as long as it was the phoenix blood woman's soul blood, it would be enough.
”Master, don't worry. I'll take good care of this child. You can let Miss Su be at ease as well. I'll do my best to ensure his safety!”
After listening to my loyal explanation, Xia Mingyuan shook his head with a smile, pulling me out of my quilt and covering me up.
”Xiao Yin, as long as you eat and drink well, rest well. As for protecting this child, leave it to me and Su Huaisha.”
I lowered my head in embarrassment and thought for a moment that I was indeed the most useless one, and I still dared to boast.
”Since you have such a kind heart, I am already very grateful to you. This child shouldn't have any big problems. All we need to do is wait for the three days to come out successfully.”
I nodded and stopped talking. I knew that I really couldn't help, so I followed Xia Mingyuan's example and looked out the window at the scenery.
”Little Yin...” You did guess, didn't you? ”
I came back to my senses and looked at Xia Mingyuan, unable to understand what he was saying.
”Did you actually guess my identity?”
I smiled and nodded. I had already guessed it when he told me about Su and Xia Zhaoyang. They were both surnamed Xia, and he and Su was very familiar with each other. After that, Su Wangsha called him Little Yuan, which was obviously what the elders called him.
”Yes, when you told me the story, I could guess a little. I could also only guess what Miss Su called you later on. It's just that I can't be certain who that Priest Xia is.” Furthermore, you did not take the initiative to ask, so I cannot ask. ”
Xia Mingyuan looked at me with a trace of warmth in his eyes, thanking me for not revealing the taboo in his heart at that time.
”Xia Zian is my uncle and my master. I was still young when Su Huaisha came to live at the Priest's Mansion, so I often stayed with them. I've seen everything about them from the beginning to the end.”
Xia Mingyuan had a very sad expression when he mentioned Xia Zhi Ang. It was obvious that he didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't ask any more questions.
”Master, you should go back to work. I'm a bit tired, so I'll go to sleep first.”
”Alright.”
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the morning of the fourth day, I woke up with a faint stomachache. When I opened my eyes, I found Xia Mingyuan and Su Huan were both standing beside the bed. My body was covered in sweat from the pain, but I didn't want them to worry about me.
