Did you hear the earlier conversation about the Demon Fetus?
Seeing the surrounding silence, the Great Yu Emperor understood everyone's concerns and half-jokingly said, "Don't worry, it's drunk and is currently practicing drunken boxing. It has no interest in what we're saying."
Chen Niangzi cried out in pain after being hit five times, but the one inside the Great Yu Emperor was even more brutal, with longer durations of strikes. Yet his face remained calm, as if he felt no pain at all.
Sang Qingxiao felt a surge of respect and softly said, "You have worked hard."
"I just don't want to be too embarrassed," the Great Yu Emperor replied, looking at Sang Qingxiao with a hint of hope. "Is there still a chance for me?"
Sang Qingxiao spoke honestly, "It's been dragged on for too long, and this one in your belly is of a higher level. It has been connected to you for quite some time now. Your fates are gradually intertwined. If it dies, you will perish as well. Conversely, if you die, it will also perish. Within a certain timeframe, it will need to find another host and continue waiting."
The Great Yu Emperor's face fell, but he was not yet on the verge of collapse; he took a moment to digest this information.
In the Ton Room, everyone else remained quiet, except for Huayang, who covered her mouth and cried. Her sobs were filled with genuine emotion, which brought some comfort to the Great Yu Emperor.
"What are you crying about? I'm not dead yet! Save your tears for a few days later."
Huayang's gaze fell on the Great Yu Emperor's abdomen, unable to accept this reality for a long time. "Father, how could this happen?"
"I enjoy exploring the people's sentiments; you know that," he explained. "I heard there were strange stones in Xiazhou and decided to take a look. I saw many people making wishes, so I silently made one myself."
A month later, he began to vomit incessantly. When the Imperial Physician came to check his pulse...
The Great Yu Emperor chuckled several times as he recalled how shocked the physician was when he sat down abruptly. The physician kept insisting that he had misdiagnosed until I forced him to tell the truth while kneeling and struggling.
He actually said that I was pregnant!
I immediately thought of killing him, but before I could voice my anger, I heard a child's laughter nearby, and my stomach began to churn violently, growing larger with each wave.
After being tormented all night, I finally believed it. I was furious! I was scared! I spent countless days in anxiety and unease, thinking of various methods to resolve this situation, but in the end, only I suffered.
Qi Xiaomian asked him what wish he had made at that time.
"I wished for Dayu to last for eternity!"
Sang Qingxiao was puzzled and said, "Then you are technically the only one who hasn't achieved your wish."
"No," according to the Demon Fetus's twisted logic, it counted as fulfilled. Once it comes out of my belly, it would belong to the Pei Family. It even assured me that from then on, this continent would be called Dayu! Managed by the Pei Clan Demon, it would surely last for eternity!"
This argument seemed valid; indeed, this demon race had grand ambitions.
I have heard that the Great Yu Emperor possesses a remarkable book, one that contains spells to counter the Xuande Emperor's magic and details on the Star Observation Tower Formation. May I borrow it for a look?
Why not? It is quite a coincidence, really. This book was discovered in the library of the previous dynasty. The people of that era used it to prop up table legs, yet there are no signs of heavy objects pressing down on it, nor is there a speck of dust. It has remained pristine for countless years, which piqued my curiosity.
