"You're the one who should die, don't speak of my mother." The boy engulfed in black demonic qi suddenly disappeared from the mud, then the next instant, reeking of foul stench, appeared amidst the crowd.
The crowd scattered to escape but found themselves wrapped in a powerful demonic qi, completely unable to move.
Even I felt as though my body was trapped in mud, struggling to make even the smallest movement.
With unfocused pupils, I watched it, feeling an emptiness inside me.
Its strength had already surpassed that of the zombie demon Congcong from before; if it struck, no one here would survive the day.
The person who had just said that Yu Longting and I should die was now under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He couldn't even grunt before his head was suddenly crushed by the boy's outstretched claw.
"Go, go out into the world, find your mother, let her take you in," Su Qiang said with a smug smile on her face, venomously urging the azure-hued monster, "Your mother loves you so much, seeing you still alive will undoubtedly excite her."
Is it... really my child?
My heart was filled with incredulity, constantly caressing my belly.
Over and over again, I confirmed that Dumpling hadn't been tainted by the demonic qi, sure that he was still in my womb.
But that being, with an upper body resembling a Kappa and the lower half that of a snake, bore a strong resemblance to both Yu Longting and me.
Its aura, the fluctuations of its spiritual power, and the face that was naïve yet handsome before its demonization...
If its snake tail shed the sludge, it would reveal pure white scales just like Yu Longting's, wouldn't it?
"Alright, what would you like as a reward?" The Lotus Leaf Boy didn't treat Su Qiang with the indifference shown to others, but rather with a degree of respect, even asking if she desired any form of recompense.
Su Qiang smiled warmly, as though filled with affection for it, "No need, Auntie wishes for nothing more than your reunion with your mother."
In the blink of an eye, the Kappa-shaped form vanished like a flash of lightning, leaving in front of everyone's eyes. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
No one dared to stop it, simply standing there, stunned.
As I watched its vanishing figure, I yearned, and heard Su Qiang, with her hand covering her lips and eyes brimming with enchantingly beautiful allure, whisper to Su Xiaomin, "Do you see? These ants-like pawns, though insignificant within their own sects, encompass most of the Mystic Sect. Today's incident will spread quickly. Su Wan can hide all she wants, but soon she'll learn the truth and break with the Snake Lord."
"Sister, that's brilliant… truly brilliant. You're just too clever," said Su Xiaomin with eyes full of surprise, giving a thumbs up, full of admiration.
Yu Rongling had been terrified throughout the entire incident, as if his head might pop off from shock. He now urgently said to me, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense. That monster must be something she and Xuanjing concocted. You've been with my brother for less than a year; it's impossible for you to have such a big child."
"Back off, don't come any closer to me, or I don't know what I might do to you," I said, my heart a complete mess at this moment, my mind filled with Longting's kindness toward me and Qingyang's blood-laden words accusing Longting of killing his child.
After pushing Yu Rongling away harshly, my Taoist Heart became incredibly fierce.
With a single thought, Golden Lotus sprouted beneath my feet.
Even though the Kappa's trail had vanished, the sharp demonic qi on me allowed me to instantly chase after the demonic qi's trace.
My heart felt as though it was tearing apart, as if I had plunged into an abyss.
My face was streaked with tears, stinging in the wind, "That's my child, mine, no mistake!!"
"Sister-in-law, don't go so fast, I can't keep up with you, damn, when did you get so freakishly strong? I've become a Transformed Snake Dragon, and I still can't catch up to you, I'm about to pass out... So exhausting..."
