Xie Yilin's words reminded me of what Guo Youcai said before he activated the corpse-dragging soul imprint. He said that as long as we don't force Wang Xiren to abort the child, she won't take the initiative to do so herself. At that time, I secretly mocked Guo Youcai for being unrealistic, but now it seems that this may become a reality.
If Wang Xiren doesn't want this child, she should strongly request an induced labor operation now. However, not only did she not make such a request, but she also started to recuperate her body. What does this mean? This means that she really wants to give birth to this child!
This really surprised me and I don't understand what Wang Xiren is thinking.
So I couldn't help but go to Wang Xiren's ward and ask her face-to-face about it. Since it was late at night and Wang Xiren had gone through many hardships before, her body was already exhausted and she was sleeping on the bed.
I walked over and carefully looked at her and soon found a problem: there was a lingering black air between her eyebrows which indicated that she might have been possessed by ghosts. However, the problem now is that Guo Youcai has already died without leaving any trace behind him; therefore, the Yin Qi on Wang Xiren must have come from another source or other spirits are entangling with her?
Thinking like this in my heart, I opened Tianmen (a spiritual door), checked around for abnormalities but found nothing unusual. Then I wrapped up Wang Xiren with my energy and used divination techniques to explore what kind of Yin Qi attached itself onto her body; however upon investigation ,I found out that those Yin Qis were naturally formed without any thoughts or emotions attached which left me puzzled.
Could it be possible that these Yin Qis were produced by Wang Xiren herself? Were they not from an external source?
This is not impossible, after all, Wang Xiren already has new life inside her body.
"Junior Master, you're here?"
Just as I was struggling with my thoughts, Wang Xiren woke up leisurely. She seemed to have noticed my probing just now.
"Hello, how do you feel? Are you okay?" I sat down awkwardly by the bed and asked her.
She smiled lightly and nodded at me. "I'm fine now."
"I heard that you are planning to give birth to this child, is that right?" I looked at her and asked.
She sneered a little and then nodded. "Yes."
"You should already know about the condition of the child? It's not a normal fetus. If it's born, who knows what it will become. You need to be mentally prepared." I frowned and said.
"You don't need to remind me of that. After all, I am older than you so I understand the consequences very well." Wang Xiren said.
"Why did you make this choice?" Curious, I asked her.
Upon hearing my words, Wang Xiren stared at me blankly for a while before suddenly opening her mouth in a conflicted expression: "Now that I've decided... no...I've made up my mind...I've decided..."
"What do you mean? Can you explain it clearly to me?" Seeing Wang Xiren's strange expression made me curious again.
"My meaning is that no matter what happens,I will give birth to this child because it is my hope." Wang Xiren regained her calmness and looked at me as she spoke.
"Well then,I respect your decision." Seeing this situation,I could only helplessly stand up.I told her,"Rest well,and if there's any trouble,you can find me."
"Thankyou Junior Master.You are a good person,"Wang Xiren looked at me with an inexplicable sense of pride in her eyes, which made me feel a little strange.
After leaving the ward and returning to the lobby,I found that Xie Yilin and Jietou were sitting on a long bench against the wall,nodding off.
After tossing around for almost a day and night, no one could bear it anymore. Not to mention them, even I was yawning constantly.
"Alright,you two immortals,don't knock your heads here.Let's go back and get some good sleep!"I went over to them and said.
Upon hearing my words,Jietou suddenly stood up straight,and walked out blankly. It seemed like he was going back to his hotel room.
Xie Yilin,on the other hand, yawned while subconsciously grabbing my arm as we walked forward together.
"YiHeng, what are you carrying on your back? Why did you learn from Jietou?" Xie Yilin asked me while walking.
That's a treasure too. Due to an operational error, it can't be shrunk temporarily and can only be carried for now." I looked at her and said, "Don't worry, I won't carry it all the time. I'm not as troublesome as a dead monk who has to carry everything with him. Whether walking or sitting, I have treasures on me which is tiring."
"Don't just stand there talking nonsense. Do you think I like carrying these things? If you're capable enough, give me a handgun and I promise to throw away these cursed things immediately." JIETOU in front of us heard my words and turned his head to look at me with disdain.
"Forget about it. Even if you had that treasure, wouldn't you know how to use it?" I also sneered.
"Then stop talking nonsense," JIETOU rolled his eyes.
...
We bickered along the way until we finally returned to the hotel. Then we each went into our rooms and fell asleep instantly after lying down on the bed.
When I woke up from my nap, it was already noon. Hunger woke me up while my bladder was about to burst so reluctantly got up and went to the bathroom first before washing up then headed out looking for JIETOU and Xie Yilin.
The dead monk must have woken up early because he was standing in the corridor admiring himself through the window when he saw us coming over; this annoyed me so much that I walked over and knocked on his head saying: "What are you looking at? Can you see your life through those things?"
"I can't," JIETOU snorted coldly: "But I saw a monkey."
"What monkey?" As soon as these words came out of my mouth, suddenly realized what he meant by seeing monkeys outside - wasn't that white-browed monkey squatting on the windowsill the one raised by Chi Qingshuai?
"Jiji--" Seeing me appear, the monkey opened its mouth and called twice, then groped for a piece of paper from its tail and handed it to me.
I took the note and looked at it. It was a hotel name written on it.
"What does this mean?" JIETOU leaned over to take a look and couldn't help but ask.
"Master Chi is back," I said to JIETOU. "Judging from this situation, his gains from this trip should be considerable."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's go meet him quickly." JIETOU said.
I nodded my head and turned around to look at Xie Yilin's door, asking her: "Is she awake yet?
I don't know. Why don't you go knock on the door and ask?" JIETOU shrugged at me.
Hearing his words, I could only smile helplessly. Honestly, I was a bit afraid to face Xie Yilin now. After all, we had that one thing between us before, even though it didn't really happen. But still, having that kind of physical contact made things awkward and it felt like we were hiding something from someone who caught us in the act.
However, in the end, I still walked up and knocked on Xie Yilin's door.
