“Wuwuwu, then what should I do? Are you asking me to personally kill my own child? Even though this is just a virtual world inside the Haotian Mirror, I still endured ten months of pregnancy and hardships to give birth to this child! Wuwu, I really can’t bear to do it, I can’t bring myself to harm him. Senior Brother, I beg you, please help me,” Gu Miaojun cried helplessly, her tears falling like a rain of pear blossoms.
“Yiya, yingying!” The innocent baby boy, not understanding anything, thought Gu Miaojun was playing with him. He reached out his chubby little hands and kept touching her cheeks.
“Trying to morally blackmail me is useless, because morality has already been flushed down the toilet by me. The karmic consequences you created must be resolved by yourself. If you want Master to expend the source power of the Fortune Divine Body to turn fiction into reality and bring this child, who should not exist, out of the mirror, that is absolutely impossible. Even if she agrees, I definitely will not!” Xia Changqing sneered disdainfully. He immediately saw through Gu Miaojun’s little scheme and blocked all her escape routes.
‘This hateful man is still as domineering as ever. Who does he think he is! I won’t fall for his tricks again,’ Murong Bing thought, feeling a hint of sweetness as she felt valued. She thought about her two beloved children who were still asleep within the Primordial Chaos Jade Pendant, their fate unknown, and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pity.
“Brother Ye Fan treats me the best. He will definitely agree to adopt my child. Brother Ye Fan, I beg you, please save our child! When he grows up, he will surely be filial to you,” Gu Miaojun, desperate, turned her tearful face to the sky and pleaded.
“Even though Ye Fan is a green-haired turtle who enjoys being cuckolded, you can’t bully an honest person like this. It’s one thing to fool around with that rat demon in a fictional world, but now you want to bring a bastard into the real world and make Ye Fan a laughingstock? You’re really too kind to your fiancé,” Xia Changqing said, twitching speechlessly at Gu Miaojun’s outrageous request.
“Pfft!” Outside, Ye Fan heard Gu Miaojun’s shameless words and, under the mocking gazes of those around him, his fury surged and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Ye Zheng, take your frail grandson back to the cave to recuperate. As a cultivator, if you can’t even control your emotions, it’s truly disgraceful. Ye Fan is nothing compared to Xia Changqing,” Murong Bing added ruthlessly, her long phoenix eyes showing disdain.
“Cough, cough, the Supreme Leader is right. Ye Fan still needs to temper his state of mind,” Ye Fan swallowed the blood in his mouth and cupped his fists respectfully, despite his deep unwillingness, maintaining a facade of calmness. In Murong Bing’s eyes, his Heavenly Dao fortune had already started to dissipate noticeably.
“If you truly can’t bear to part with this little one, you can stay here. In the outside world, your social death is already complete. The rat demon is dead, but the wealth he left behind is enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime. This half-demon treated you with some sincerity, quite a good match for you! Raise this child well into adulthood. I’ll be leaving now,” Xia Changqing smiled and, controlling his demonic sword, turned to fly skyward. He was curious what choice Gu Miaojun would make.
“Don’t worry, Miaojun. I will definitely take good care of you and your child,” Gu Hai promised tenderly. Over time, he had indeed developed feelings for her.
“Get lost! I don’t want to be trapped in this ghost place. As a direct disciple of Azure Cloud Holy Land, I have a bright future and a long life ahead of me. I won’t waste away here like a mortal!” Gu Miaojun pushed Gu Hai away and bit her lip in unwillingness. Enjoying the story? Read on at NovelPing.
“All these excuses are just to ease your conscience, to avoid facing the guilt of killing your own newborn child for your selfish desires. The twisted ugliness and selfishness of human nature are truly displayed vividly in you,” Xia Changqing said coldly with a mocking smile.
“Xia Changqing, if you hadn’t stood by and watched, would I have ended up like this? Leaving aside the facts, don’t you bear any fault?” Gu Miaojun, her schemes exposed, broke down and questioned him hysterically.
“My only mistake was meddling back then and rescuing you from the demon’s lair,” Xia Changqing sneered. If Murong Bing and the others weren’t outside the Haotian Mirror, he would have killed her with a single strike long ago.
‘Baby, Mother really loves you. But everything here is just an illusion. You shouldn’t exist,’ Gu Miaojun wept, kissing the baby boy’s forehead over and over, before tightly embracing him, tightening her grip more and more.
“Wuwu, yiya!” The baby boy cried painfully, struggling in her arms.
“Miaojun, please stop! I’m willing to raise this poor child, please don’t hurt him!” Gu Hai shouted in anguish.
“Gu Hai, even now you’re still deluded? Everything here is fake—the rat demon is fake, you are fake, even this child is fake. This entire world was fabricated by the Haotian Mirror. This bastard child is my inner demon!” Gu Miaojun screamed, her face twisted in madness, and suffocated the baby boy to death.
“Hehe, so it really was just a nightmare. Mother, little sister, I’m coming to find you,” Gu Miaojun murmured. As the baby boy died, the entire world seemed to freeze.
“Kid, with your kind-heartedness, you’re not suited for the cultivation world. It’d be better to live as an ordinary person in your next life,” Xia Changqing sneered.
[Crack! Boom!] The entire mirror world exploded. A green and a golden light were expelled from the Haotian Mirror.
“Wuwuwu, I’m back, I’m finally back. Brother Ye Fan, I’m still pure, I’m still clean and untouched,” Gu Miaojun cried tears of joy, staring blankly at the crowd in the Law Enforcement Hall. Then, like a homing bird, she leaped excitedly toward Ye Fan’s arms.
Ye Fan’s hair stood on end, as if he had seen a pile of cow dung flying toward him, and he quickly hid behind Ye Zheng.
“Brother Ye Fan, are you despising me? That was just a fictional world. I didn’t bear the rat demon’s child, I’m still pure. Could it be that all the vows you once made to me were lies?” Gu Miaojun froze at Ye Fan’s panicked expression, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
Ye Fan remained silent, hanging his head like a momma’s boy. He wasn’t stupid—if he married Gu Miaojun, it would cement his reputation as a green-haired turtle. Not to mention others, even Ye Zheng would probably break his third leg.
“Cough, cough, Supreme Leader, Fan’er is still young. Let’s call off the engagement between him and Gu Miaojun,” Ye Zheng coughed awkwardly.
He would never allow a woman who could so ruthlessly kill her own child to marry into the Ye family.
“You think my disciple Murong Bing is some commodity? You came to propose, and now you want to cancel the engagement. If you don’t give me an explanation today, believe it or not, I’ll destroy the Ye family,” Murong Bing said coldly, her face like frost. Her Peak Saint King Realm cultivation burst forth, causing the surrounding void to collapse and roar. She seemed like the sole ruler of heaven and earth.
She had noticed the lingering red thread of karma entwining Ye Fan and Gu Miaojun’s foreheads, and, worried they might rekindle their feelings, she intended to add fuel to the fire.
“Wuwuwu, Master, please stand up for me!” Gu Miaojun, seeing Murong Bing’s fierce protection, was moved to tears and cried aggrievedly.
