Chương 2: Chapter 2: Why Do They All Want Me Dead?
Lin Luo furrowed his not-yet-formed brows.
This woman actually hates him enough to try to kill him!
But drinking poison? Wouldn't she poison herself in the process?
Foolish!
Just as Lin Luo helplessly flailed around in the amniotic fluid, a panicked voice sounded from outside.
"Lady Snow!"
"Good thing the Grand Priest ordered us to keep watch!"
"Hurry! Get a healing soul master! The Lady has drunk poison!"
Inside Qian Renxue's chambers, one maid dumped the poisoned wine, while another rushed to fetch a healer.
The Wuhun Hall healer was an elderly woman with soul power at an impressive level 89. In just a minute, she extracted every drop of poison from Qian Renxue's body.
"Your Eminence, please be assured. The Lady is fine, and so is the child," the old healer said with a smile, tucking Qian Renxue's pale arm back under the covers.
Bibi Dong nodded and dismissed the healer and the other servants from the room. She stared at her sleeping daughter, pale and unconscious, and then at the slight bulge under the blanket where the child lay.
Why…
Why is she going through the same thing I did?
Bibi Dong bit her lip, but this pain was nothing compared to the two decades of torment she had endured.
A glint of icy resolve flickered in her purple eyes. She needed to get rid of this child!
Her feelings for Qian Renxue were complicated, so much so that her daughter's fate barely concerned her. But she couldn't bear to see her go through the same nightmare. This dreadful curse, this relentless misery—no, she had to end it!
It would be better if Qian Renxue died than to suffer through this ordeal.
Determined, Bibi Dong walked slowly toward the bed. She raised her right hand, her curled fingers glowing with a purple light.
Just as Bibi Dong was about to strike Qian Renxue's stomach, a golden light exploded from within it!
The force repelled Bibi Dong's hand and hurled her back with tremendous power!
"Boom!"
Her body smashed through a thick stone wall, soaring hundreds of meters before crashing into the plaza of the Wuhun Hall.
"Ugh—"
Blood spurted from her mouth, and she slipped into unconsciousness. Her body couldn't withstand such overwhelming power; this was an impact from a far superior being.
Meanwhile…
Inside Qian Renxue, Lin Luo calmly withdrew his tiny palm and sighed in relief.
Thank goodness—I survived another day.
With his last shred of divine power, Lin Luo knew he still had hope of rebuilding his godly form.
But now, to resist Bibi Dong, he had used the very last of it.
If he'd kept that wisp of power, he could've used it as a bridge to restore his divine body after birth.
He was a God-King, after all, capable of such feats.
But now…
Do I really have to walk the path of a soul master again?
His heart was brimming with hatred. He would not allow Tang San to outgrow him in this life.
Qian Renxue is currently 18; Tang San is 9 and has already awakened his martial spirit three years ago.
No Way…
I have to gain at least six years' worth of growth value before the breastfeeding period ends!
Then, the moment it's over, I'll awaken my martial soul. Once the system upgrades, I can quickly gain strength.
If I want revenge, I have to grow faster than Tang San. That hypocrite—how could he stand seeing me alive and well?
Lin Luo still doesn't understand what he did to offend Tang San, who'd stabbed him in the back with no warning.
Frustrating.
As Lin Luo brooded, a group of powerful soul masters burst into the room through the crumbling wall.
Qian Daoliu waved a sleeve, sweeping away the dust and instantly clearing the area around his beloved granddaughter's bed.
"What happened?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had hurried over, looked around in shock.
The room looked as if a tornado had ripped through it, mangled beyond recognition.
With a serious expression, Qian Daoliu shook his head. "I don't know. Bibi Dong was found unconscious in the square, evidently hit by an incredibly strong force."
Looking around the room, both men realized that anyone capable of attacking Bibi Dong could only be Qian Renxue…
Or…
Their gazes fell on Qian Renxue's abdomen, and they exchanged a silent look.
Impossible. It can't be…
After a pause, Qian Daoliu finally spoke in a low voice.
"Regardless of the outcome, this mysterious child cannot be allowed to live. Once he's born, let him see the sun one last time…"
Lin Luo's expression froze.
So many people want me dead?
Qian Renxue wants to kill him, Bibi Dong wants to kill him, and now Qian Daoliu wants to kill him too?
Why such malice toward an unborn child?
Lin Luo regretted it deeply now. He should have attached himself to an ordinary woman instead.
Instead, he chose to reincarnate in the most dangerous womb on the continent!
Qian Daoliu had no idea of the thoughts running through the fetus's mind.
He simply sat by the bed, gently stroking his granddaughter's pale cheek, his expression full of sorrow.
"My Xue'er, you're still just a child yourself…"
—
The next day.
Qian Renxue awoke in a new room.
She sat up, glanced at herself—intact—and then down at her abdomen—also unharmed.
The two locked gazes for a moment.
In the next instant, Qian Renxue grabbed the pillow next to her and began pounding on her stomach.
"Who are you?! Why are you in my stomach?!"
"I've never even been with a man!"
"How am I supposed to pretend to be Crown Prince Xue Qinghe with a big belly?!"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she tossed the pillow aside, clenching her fists and raising one toward her stomach.
Just then, her belly moved.
Qian Renxue froze, her pale face filled with surprise.
She swallowed nervously, sitting on the edge of the bed, both hands resting gently on her belly as she cautiously felt the movement inside.
All of a sudden, there was another flutter. Qian Renxue jumped back, as though she'd been shocked, and pointed at her belly with wide eyes, a stern expression on her tear-streaked face.
"You… you, you! You little… pest! Don't you dare get cocky! My grandpa is the Grand Priest of the Wuhun Hall! A rank-99 peerless Douluo!"
In her inexperience, Qian Renxue saw the fetus as an enemy.
She had, after all, always suspected the child in her womb was something unnatural.
Because she knew, without a doubt, that she'd never been with a man.
Perhaps… this child really was a demon in disguise!
What she didn't realize, though, was that fetal movement was perfectly normal and expected for any pregnant woman.
Gradually, her stomach calmed down.
Just as she exhaled a sigh of relief, the next moment, her belly stirred again.
Startled, the blonde girl let out a frightened wail and rushed to the door. "Gr—!"
She barely got one word out before clamping her mouth shut.
She didn't want to ask her grandpa for help.
Though she felt a crushing fear, anxiety, and frustration, her grandfather wouldn't sympathize. Instead, he'd just scold her for her foolishness.
Left with no choice, Qian Renxue obediently sat back down on the bed, though her pale face still showed traces of fear.
"You… don't move. If you do, I'll hit you!"
She muttered, clenching her small fists and trying to sound threatening.
To her surprise, her stomach stilled immediately.
Seeing her belly behave so obediently, Qian Renxue's tear-stained face showed a glimmer of surprise.
She cautiously spoke, "You… if you behave, I won't hit you from now on. Stay quiet, and I won't lay a hand on you."
