370 The Seventh Princess
Xia Qiluo had already fallen into the illusion and undertaken the role of the pregnant woman who was delivering a baby in extreme pain.
Liu Sanniang looked over and frowned. It was Xia Qiluo.
She and Chu Yan had met Xia Qiluo once in the fishing village. She was pampered and arrogant. It turned out that it was because she was a princess and a member of the royal family.
Wu Ju said, “Xia Qiluo is the crown prince’s sister and is extremely favored by the emperor.”
Wu Ju walked over and reached out to scratch Xia Qiluo’s face. Her painful screams disappeared and were replaced by the sound of her rapid breathing.
Xia Qiluo was still in a trance. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She sniffled and almost cried out. She was an unmarried girl, but she had just experienced the feeling of childbirth. That feeling was too real. She could feel her stomach growing big and the fetus rolling inside, forcing her to use all her strength to push it out.
It hurt too much. Because of the pain, she wanted to give birth to this child. Only by giving birth to this child could the pain go away. She felt like she was in pain for a long time. Did it last for a day or longer?
She felt that she might die here and was even a little annoyed with herself for being so impulsive. However, she was lucky and didn’t die.
Xia Qiluo turned around and looked at Wu Ju. She said with difficulty, “Thank… thank you.”
She knew that this monk was working for Xia Hongming, but he had saved her life.
Wu Ju said flatly, “Seventh Princess, are you feeling better? If you are, please get up.”
Xia Qiluo’s gaze landed on Chu Yan and Liu Sanniang. She felt a little ill-at-ease, but when she thought of how she was the most beloved Seventh Princess of the royal family, she felt that she was entitled to everything.
Xia Qiluo looked at Chu Yan and said, “Chu Yan, help me up.”
Chu Yan did not move.
Xia Qiluo immediately flared up. “Chu Yan, I’m the seventh princess of the dynasty. Now, I’m ordering you to help me up. Do you hear me?”
She directly revealed her identity. Her status was not something Liu Sanniang could compare to. She was born into a noble family. What was Liu Sanniang? At most, she was just a little better than ordinary people.
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan. He held Liu Sanniang’s hand and said coldly, “It’s not appropriate.”
Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth in anger. Was he deliberately holding Liu Sanniang’s hand to provoke her?
Chu Yan remained expressionless.
Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan with an unchanged expression, but she felt sweet. When he rejected Xia Qiluo, she was happy.
Xia Qiluo was so angry that she fell back down on the bed. She was a princess and more beautiful than Liu Sanniang in every way. Why wouldn’t he help her up?
Wu Ju said calmly, “Seventh Princess, if you don’t get up, you’ll be pulled into the illusion again.”
Xia Qiluo’s face turned pale as she stood up with difficulty. She never wanted to experience that horror again.
Xia Qiluo got out of bed and gritted her teeth. “I’m going to dig her out and turn her and her baby into ashes.”
She knew that she was in an illusion. If not for Wu Ju, even if she did not die, she would have lost half her life in this place. She did not know how long it would take before she could be saved.
She was the Seventh Princess. If she went missing for a long time, someone would naturally come looking for her.
“Boohoo…”
A figure appeared on the bed. The muffled scream made Xia Qiluo’s heart skip a beat.
The woman on the bed had a bulging stomach and a ferocious expression. There was a thick cloth tied around her mouth, so her cries were not loud.
Xia Qiluo’s expression turned cold as she took out a talisman from her pocket. “Go to hell…”
Liu Sanniang stopped Xia Qiluo.
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang and said aggressively, “What are you doing? Get out of my way. I’m going to subdue the resentment. You know nothing.”
Back in the fishing village, she had made a mistake and caused herself to be plagued by sins. It took her some time to get rid of the sins. Now that she met Liu Sanniang again, Xia Qiluo immediately flew into a rage.
Liu Sanniang must be deliberately going against her.
Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm. “Haven’t you learned your lesson back in the fishing village?”
Xia Qiluo was still as impulsive as ever. Before she could figure out what was going on, she resorted to violence.
Xia Qiluo’s face turned pale. The fishing village was the shame of her life. She glared at Liu Sanniang. “What do you know? If I don’t subdue her, she will harm others.”
Wu Ju said, “Seventh Princess, your cultivation is too low. Karma is omnipresent in this world. The fact that you are trapped here means that you’re not supposed to be here.”
Xia Qiluo frowned and gritted her teeth. She was about to say something when Liu Sanniang walked up to sit on the edge of the bed. She reached out and touched the woman’s bulging stomach.
Xia Qiluo widened her eyes. “Are you crazy?”
Such tortured souls were permanantly trapped in a pain experience. Whoever approached them would be grabbed tightly by them. Who was Liu Sanniang? Why wasn’t she afraid at all?
Liu Sanniang gently touched the stomach. Her hand that was supposed to go straight through the soul landed firmly on the stomach.
The ferocious-looking woman was a little stunned. Liu Sanniang could feel that the little fellow in her stomach was also stunned.
Liu Sanniang’s expression was calm as she reached out to touch the back of the woman’s head. With her eyes wide open, the woman watched Liu Sanniang remove the thick cloth on her mouth.
Liu Sanniang said gently, “I’m sorry for what you’ve been through.”
The woman was just a soul filled with resentment. Day after day, she was tortured, resentful, and angry.
She had long forgotten about the possibility of being redeemed, but now, when Liu Sanniang removed the cloth on her mouth, she was puzzled.
Liu Sanniang touched her stomach again and gently pressed it.
The woman’s stomach suddenly flattened as the baby slipped out of her body. She hugged the baby and looked at Liu Sanniang in confusion. Suddenly, she cried out.
Though she couldn’t shed tears, it was still a heart-breaking scene.
Liu Sanniang said with gentleness in her eyes, “I know everything.”
