“Fengyin, what is wrong with Jinse? She is alternating between hot and cold.” Xuan Li sat beside Jinse, who was radiating heat yet still shivering.
“Jinse is weak, which is why she feels this way.” Fengyin tucked Jinse's hand under the blanket and took out the warm jade that Hibiscus had given her. “This is warm jade; wearing it can provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer. It might help Jinse feel better.” Fengyin placed the warm jade in Jinse's palm. “Jinse, don’t worry. Just rest well.”
“Thank you, Yin Yin.”
“Rest well; I will go prepare medicine for you.”
“Mm.” Watching Fengyin leave the room, Jinse turned to Xuan Li. “Your Majesty, I have startled you.”
“I am fine, as long as you are fine.”
“Your Majesty, has my father gone to the Western Abyss?”
Xuan Li's expression immediately darkened, and he replied hoarsely, “You just need to take care of yourself.”
“Your Majesty, you are angry.”
“I am not angry.” Xuan Li's face remained stern.
“I want to see my father.”
“I will go find him.” Xuan Li nodded. “A duel!”
“Emperor… Hehe.” The door swung open, and Ying Wuxie entered with a smile. “Is the Emperor really going to duel me?”
“Father.”
“Hmph…” Xuan Li turned his back and looked out the window; he was still the same stubborn Xuan Li.
“Come here, Father, let me see.” Ying Wuxie's beautiful face wore a warm smile, a rare sight for him. “As expected of my daughter; she managed to solve the demon problem with her own strength.” Ying Wuxie smiled reassuringly, feeling that there was one less thing he could do for his daughter.
"Father, are you still going to the Western Abyss?"
"Yes, I must go. If I don't, how will I know how Seven Nights died?"
"Father, be careful. When you come back, you can hold your grandchild." Jinse said with a hint of shyness and sweetness to Ying Wuxie. Unexpectedly, Ying Wuxie furrowed his brows tightly, "Jinse, are you pregnant?"
"Yes, Father."
"Emperor, take good care of my daughter, hmph." Ying Wuxie seemed to remember something and hurriedly left.
"Your Majesty, it seems my father is not happy to hear this news." Jinse felt a bit disappointed.
"Damn it, has that so-called curse of yours been lifted or not? Why are you still so concerned about that person?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"How can I calm down?"
"Your Majesty, Jinse is thirsty."
"You actually want me to pour you water?"
"If Your Majesty is angry with Jinse, then Jinse will also be angry with Your Majesty. So even if Your Majesty pours water for Jinse, she won't drink it."
"Jinse." Xuan Li lowered his head and kissed Jinse's slightly pale lips. How could Jinse resist such tenderness from Xuan Li?
Fengyin was lost in thought while watching the fire under the medicine pot in the kitchen when Ying Wuxie walked in with a heavy heart. "Yin'er, I need to talk to you."
"Let's talk later." Although she was curious about why Ying Wuxie looked so troubled, she couldn't afford to be distracted while brewing medicine and managing the heat.
"Yin'er, you look quite beautiful while brewing medicine."
"Young Master Ying, not all women like to hear such things." What was there to find beautiful about her unremarkable appearance?
Ying Wuxie shook his head and quietly sat beside Fengyin. "Do you know? There is a kind of inexplicable power that brings a sense of calm when I am near you." Fengyin smiled, "Such a Ying Wuxie is truly rare."
"A Fengyin like this is also uncommon." Ying Wuxie sighed before asking, "Is this medicine for Jinse?" Seeing Fengyin nod, he continued, "Jinse is really pregnant?" Fengyin nodded. "Yin'er, do you have any way to make this child disappear?" This was the true purpose of his visit.
Fengyin shook his head. "Young Master Ying, what do you intend to do?"
"Yin'er, you don't understand." Ying Wuxie spoke with a tone of reminiscence as he recounted a long story, from the separation of the three realms to Demon Lord Ying coming to the mortal world to continue his lineage by establishing the Ying Family and giving birth to Ying Wuxie with a mortal woman.
"I had memories even before I was born. I remember myself as a Demon Fetus, instinctively consuming my mother's blood every day. Finally, on the day I was born, it was also the day my mother perished. Every Demon Fetus is like this, crawling out from their mother's corpse. Jinse is not of the demon race; all her demonic traits are sealed within her bloodline and she has not received the acknowledgment of the Demon Ancestor. That is why Song Yun was able to safely give birth to Jinse. However, just because Jinse is not of the demon race does not mean she lacks demonic blood; there is still a chance she could give birth to a Demon Fetus. When a Demon Fetus comes into existence, Jinse..." "Jinse may not necessarily be carrying a Demon Fetus." "Demon Fetuses can communicate with those of the demon race; from the moment they gain consciousness, they can connect with them. Only those with pure bloodlines can sense a Demon Fetus."
"Then Young Master Ying, why did you not know about Jinse's pregnancy before?" "Perhaps the Demon Fetus has not yet gained consciousness; I only sensed it after hearing Jinse mention her pregnancy."
"Disappear? This child must disappear because Jinse's body is weak and cannot sustain it." "Demon Fetuses do not die; even if the mother dies, they will continue to grow within the corpse."
"But the child really must disappear." "Then there is only one possibility: the Demon Fetus must occupy the mother's body."
"Unheard of." Fengyin's expression turned serious. If that were the case, regardless of whether the child disappeared or not, Jinse would be in danger. She felt regretful; she had only thought Jinse was weak but did not realize there were such secrets within the demon race. "What should we do now?"
"Therefore, I must go to the Western Abyss and see if I can find the Tree of Life. As long as I obtain its life liquid, both Jinse and her child will be safe." "That sounds difficult to obtain; after all, your father is the lord of the demon realm. He could not save your mother."
"That was because he was unwilling to save her. The Goddess stripped away emotions from immortals and demons; my father would never fall in love with a mortal."
"Can you love someone else?" Ying Wuxie lowered his gaze; he actually hoped he would not fall in love with anyone. "I can love someone," but it would be a man; perhaps the Goddess did not control such feelings.
Years ago, when immortals and demons joined forces, they nearly wiped out humanity. To maintain peace among the three realms, the Goddess restricted demon reproduction and forbade immortals from feeling emotions to limit their terrifying power, which led to ordinary days for humanity.
"Yin'er, Jinse is about to enter the palace. I want to ask you to accompany her into the palace and protect the child in her womb." Ying Wuxie watched as the flames danced in the stove, ash falling onto Fengyin's clothing.
Fengyin nodded. "I will speak with Jinse."
Fengyin picked up a bellows to stoke the flames in the stove; blue smoke wafted into her eyes. "The Western Abyss is fraught with danger; I hope Young Master Ying takes good care of Seven Nights." Ying Wuxie nodded; he would naturally spare no effort in caring for Seven Nights.
