Xie Lian said, "Miss?!"
Lan Yi's face was deathly pale.
She couldn't say a single word. Suddenly, something seemed to explode in her stomach.
Her originally flat abdomen suddenly swelled into a huge ball, almost tearing her long skirt apart. Black smoke even overflowed from the seams of her clothes!
The female ghosts loosened their hands and slightly spread out. Lan Yi barely managed to hold her abdomen.
Frightened, she said, "Stop messing around!"
It was actually the fetus spirit that was causing trouble in her stomach. Hua Cheng calmly said, "Gege, step back."
Xie Lian said, "It's nothing!"
Lan Yi's knees suddenly knelt on the ground.
With a face full of pain, she said, "Be obedient! Be obedient! Be obedient!
Be obedient, okay!!! Stop messing around!!! "
Xie Lian said, "Miss Lan Yi, let it out first."
Lan Yi frantically shook her head.
She said, "No! No, no! I will definitely keep him in my stomach and raise him properly.
He will never go out and harm people again! City Lord, I beg you, don't take my son away. I've been looking for him for hundreds of years! Don't take my son away! Don't hand him over to those people in heaven!! "
It seemed that the ghosts in the ghost city knew that Xie Lian was a person from heaven. Lan Yi screamed.
She hugged her stomach and rolled on the ground.
It was as if her stomach was no longer a part of her body. It was like a living thing.
Sometimes it shrunk and sometimes it expanded.
Sometimes it moved up and down, left and right. The black smoke grew thicker.
Presumably, this evil fetus spirit had returned to its mother's stomach to rest for a while.
After recovering a bit of its vitality, it was about to cause mischief again. The female ghosts scattered for a while before going up to press her down again.
Thus, the demons and ghosts on the left shouted, "Look at us!" and came up to press her down. The scene was incomparably chaotic. Xie Lian clenched his fists and said, "Miss Lan Yi! The fetus in your stomach is far stronger than you. Moreover, it can hurt you, but you can't bear to hurt it. You can't do anything to it! Sooner or later, you will be sucked dry by it and break out of your body. Quickly let it out! "
If Lan Yi didn't release the thing she hid in her stomach, sooner or later, she would be sucked dry and torn to pieces by this ferocious fetus spirit. Xie Lian would have no choice but to personally cut open her abdomen. Although it was better than watching her get torn to pieces by his own son, if he didn't have no other choice, he wouldn't do such a thing. Although it was better than watching her get torn to pieces by his own son, he wouldn't do such thing. However, this female ghost Lan Yi was extremely stubborn. Even if she screamed in pain, she wouldn't let the fetus spirit out. This couldn't go on, so he would rather do it himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry for offending you!"
Unexpectedly, when he placed his hand on the hilt of the Maiden Heart Sword, Hua Cheng immediately pressed him down and said in a low voice, "No need." At the same time, a burst of golden light suddenly burst out from Lan Yi's abdomen, causing a group of demons and ghosts nearby to cry out in unison. "Xie Xie Lian't do Xie spirit.
Xie Lian took a closer look. After the golden light faded, the fetus spirit that was rushing out seemed to be locked by something. Lan Yi's abdomen also flattened out. Yi Yi to the Lan. right....
Lan,..... Xie Be. be be...., I. Lan. Xie... Lian. Fang..
Even though its color had faded because it had been washed too many times, Xie Lian could still tell that this belt was something from the Heaven Realm.
Many things in the Heavenly Realm were exquisite magic treasures. Therefore, when it was necessary, it showed its special ability to protect its owner in emergencies. Even if the embroidery was badly worn, Xie Lian was sure it was a "golden belt" that only a Heavenly Official could use.
Looking at its rank, it was a Heavenly Official from Heaven!
In the Heaven Realm, gifting a golden belt was a very popular and elegant act. It had a special meaning. For a male Heavenly Official to give his belt to someone else, this action had an ambiguous meaning. It was easy to imagine. Things like belts couldn't be casually given away, and they weren't easy to lose. Xie Lian said, "Miss. Could it be that your child … …"
Xie Lian suddenly remembered. No matter if this was a devil's den or not, asking a woman about such a private matter in public wasn't a good idea. He quickly stopped himself. Lan Yi immediately said, "No!"
Xie Lian thought to himself, "I haven't said anything yet. Why are you saying it's not?"
He asked, "For the past seven or eight hundred years, did you rely on this golden belt to survive?"
Hearing this, the female ghosts were flabbergasted. "… … My God, Lan Yi, how old are you?!"
"Didn't you say you were only three hundred years old?"
"That's not right. She also said she was two hundred years old!! She lied about her age!!! "
This fetus had a cultivation base of around seven or eight hundred years. Then, its birth mother should also be around that age. However, this female ghost, Lan Yi, didn't have such a strong evil aura. As an ordinary female ghost, the fact that she was able to stay in this world for so long was probably due to this golden belt. If the father of this fetus was a Heavenly Official, then it would be more reasonable for it to be so cruel.
A Heavenly Official had an affair with a mortal woman. In the end, no one knew if he abandoned her or if he ignored her, but the woman suffered a tragedy. The fetus in her stomach was cut out while she was still alive. Now that both mother and child had turned into ghosts, the fetus could have killed countless people. No matter how he looked at it, the severity of this matter was no less than Xuan Ji's. Moreover, it seemed a bit familiar.
Then, it would be easy to think of how to solve this matter. Xie Lian immediately turned around and said to Hua Cheng, "San Lang, this girl … …"
Without needing him to say anything, Hua Cheng said, "Do what you need to do. You don't need to ask me. "
Xie Lian softly said, "En."
After receiving permission, he turned to Lan Yi. At this time, the group of ghosts asked, "Lan Chang, Lan Yi, who is this child's father???"
"So angry! Only caring about killing and not burying? Only caring about giving birth and not raising? "
"Who is it? Should we go find him and settle the debt? "
Lan Chang gritted her teeth and looked at Xie Lian. "… … Who else could it be?"
She didn't say a name, but Xie Lian understood tacitly. He said, "Come back to the Heavenly Court with me."
However, Lan Yi immediately said, "No!!!"
Of course, it was useless if she said no. Whether she could or not, Xie Lian would still take her away. Xie Lian straightened his face and said, "This fetus spirit is extremely savage. Who knows how many people's blood has stained its hands. Now that things have reached this point, there are too many people involved. You won't be able to protect him. You must definitely go to the Heavenly Court to confront him and report this. If that heavenly official is an upright person, or if there is a misunderstanding between you two, then let the two of you go and acknowledge him. Then, you can deal with this child's matter. If that heavenly official has wronged you or made an even bigger mistake, then you must seek justice from him. No matter what, this fetus spirit is your son, and also his son. If his father doesn't care about this matter, then how can others care? "
These words made sense to the group of ghosts. Moreover, letting Lan Yi bring her child to the Heavenly Realm to wreak havoc was exciting enough to hear. They were only afraid that the matter wouldn't be too big. The bigger the better. They all urged, "That's right, Lan Yi, what are you afraid of! Let's go find him and settle the debt! "
"If he dares to not acknowledge it, then we'll burn his temple!"
Xie Lian said to Hua Cheng, "I'll go back to the Heavenly Court first and quickly report this matter."
Although Lan Yi resisted, she knew she couldn't stop Xie Lian. She stared blankly for a moment before suddenly bowing to Hua Cheng and saying, "City Lord, many thanks for your great kindness in taking me in!"
Xie Lian was startled for a moment before she continued, "Lan Yi setting fire to the Extreme Happiness Workshop was a last resort. I broke the rules of the Ghost City, so I'm sorry! I hope you won't take offense. "
She had always been bold and unrestrained, but when she opened her mouth this time, it was as if she had changed into a different person, causing many familiar demons and ghosts to be greatly shocked. However, Hua Cheng's expression was the same as usual. He said to Xie Lian, "Gege left in a hurry this time. I'll wait for you to come down, then I'll properly entertain you."
Xie Lian nodded and brought Lan Yi straight towards the Heavenly Realm.
Walking on the streets of Xianjing, Xie Lian called out from the spiritual communication array, "Everyone! I'll have to trouble you to meet me at the Divine Martial Hall. There are matters we need to discuss. "After he finished speaking, he withdrew from the array. He didn't stay for a moment longer and first brought Lan Yi to the Divine Martial Hall. Because Lan Yi had the body of a female ghost, she couldn't enter the golden hall. Xie Lian first waited with her outside the hall for a while. Only when Jun Wu arrived and personally gave his permission did Lan Chang enter.
Not long after, all the Heavenly Officials in Xianjing arrived one after another. When they saw a female ghost with heavy makeup beside Xie Lian, who was completely incompatible with the celestial atmosphere of Xianjing, they were all dumbfounded. A black-robed Heavenly Official stepped into the hall. When he saw the scene in the center of the hall, he paused for a moment. It was Mu Qing. Lan Yi also glanced at him and immediately lowered her head, her lips trembling. However, Mu Qing's expression was calm. He only faintly said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, who is this woman?"
When she heard the words "Your Highness the Crown Prince," Lan Yi's expression slightly changed. She looked at Xie Lian as if she remembered something, but she didn't dare to confirm it. At this time, the two Fengshui Masters also arrived. They were a pair of brothers who looked sixty to seventy percent similar. Each of them lightly waved a paper fan, and their white clothes fluttered in the wind. The scene was extremely beautiful. Shi Qing Xuan said as he waved his fan, "That's right, Monastery Head. Why did you also bring the female ghost here today?"
Xie Lian asked in confusion, "Monastery Head?" What Monastery Head? Pu Qi Monastery? Why did he suddenly call her that? Thinking about it again, it was most likely the 'Thousand Lanterns Monastery Head'!
He didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only pretend that he didn't hear it. Shi Qing Xuan was immensely proud of himself. He greeted everyone and then said, "Huh? Could it be that there's something in this female ghost sister's stomach??? Why do I feel like … … "
As he said this, he went forward as if he wanted to touch it. Shi Wudu folded his fan and said, "Qing Xuan!"
Shi Qing Xuan immediately retracted his hand and explained, "I just felt a very bad evil aura and wanted to see if there was anything dangerous inside … …" Shi Wudu reprimanded, "You are a man and a Heavenly Official. This is still the Divine Martial Hall, how can you do such a disgraceful thing? You are also not allowed to change your appearance! It is still disgraceful for a female to do this kind of thing, change back for me! "
Ling Wen shook her head and tucked the document under her arm. She stepped forward and placed her hand on Lan Yi's abdomen. After pausing for a moment, she withdrew her hand and muttered, "What a fierce fetus spirit. Has it been a few hundred years? "
Xie Lian said, "About seven to eight hundred years."
He explained how he met the fetus spirit twice, how the fetus spirit harmed a pregnant woman, and how it drew out this female ghost. He didn't mention the matter of Flower City and Ghost City, so Lan Yi naturally wouldn't take the initiative to bring it up. In the end, Xie Lian said, "That's how it is. I don't know if that Heavenly Official is still alive or in office. Is there some misunderstanding? Does he know about this matter? That's why I brought this girl up here. "
Feng Xin frowned and said, "If there is no misunderstanding, and you know about this mother and son, yet you still ignored them for seven to eight hundred years. That's too irresponsible."
Pei Ming crossed his arms and leisurely said, "I agree with General Nan Yang's words. This is too irresponsible. I don't know which Immortal Advisor left this behind. If he is still in office, it's better if you stand up yourself. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt countless gazes boring into him. Above the Divine Martial Hall, everyone was speechless.
After a long while, Pei Ming finally said, "… … Does everyone have some misunderstanding about me?"
"… …" Shi Qing Xuan didn't even wave his fan and said, "I don't think there is any misunderstanding. It should be said that I understand you too well. "
Pei Ming immediately said, "There is absolutely no such thing!"
Everyone laughed dryly. Even Shi Wudu and Ling Wen's gazes didn't seem to trust him. Pei Ming's head swelled up. Holding his forehead, he earnestly said, "This … … I've been on good terms with some women from the Ghost Realm, but this girl, I've never seen her before."
If one listened to these words seriously, they could be trusted. How could it be that he himself didn't know which woman he had been on good terms with? Although Pei Ming was criticized for being fickle, he had never denied any of his relationships. Once he did it, he wouldn't deny it. In any case, it wasn't like he couldn't afford to play. For the women he had been on good terms with, unless they were like Xuan Ji who didn't want to be with him, they at least guaranteed that they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. If this female ghost had really had a one-night stand with Pei Ming when she was alive, she wouldn't have fallen to the point where her belly was cut open and her child taken away, turning into a malicious spirit.
Moreover, Pei Ming's standards for women were very high. The women he had hooked up with were all women with extraordinary looks and skills. He especially liked beauties without makeup. From what the other people in the hall could see, with Lan Yi's heavy makeup, it was impossible to see her true appearance. Her appearance, taste in makeup, and mannerisms were all far below Pei Ming's standards for choosing lovers. Therefore, when he said there was no such thing, everyone still faintly believed him in their hearts. However, it was only 'in their hearts' and 'faintly'. If they had the chance to see General Pei being 'general', why not? They could just watch him argue. Whether they believed him or not, didn't that depend on whether they were happy or not?
Originally, Xie Lian also felt that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that it was Pei Ming. After all, he had a lot of criminal records. However, looking at Pei Ming's expression, it didn't seem fake. Thus, he wavered. He remembered that Hua Cheng seemed to have said that Pei Ming didn't play dirty, so there was no need to be afraid. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Before, Miss Lan Yi vaguely asked 'who else could it be', so I took it for granted. However, since General Pei said this, perhaps there was some misunderstanding. It might not be the same person every time. Why don't we ask … … "
Unexpectedly, Lan Yi suddenly said, "It's not him."
Xie Lian was startled and turned around. Lan Yi repeated herself and said, "It's not him."
Ling Wen indifferently said, "What? So it wasn't him? "
Shi Wudu also very politely said, "It actually wasn't him?"
"… …"
Pei Ming said to Shi Wudu and Ling Wen, "I already said it wasn't him. You two, you hit me when I'm down. Just wait for me. "
The crowd of Heavenly Officials was disappointed, but they immediately became even more excited. After all, Pei Ming was someone who had been caught up in rumors all year round. Even he wasn't fresh. But it wasn't him. In other words, it was very likely that it was another male Heavenly Official present or not. Perhaps a 'rising star' was about to appear. How could he not be excited?
Previously in the Ghost City, Lan Yi had clearly hinted that it was Pei Ming, but now it was overruled. Xie Lian felt strange in his heart, but his expression didn't change. He said, "En, who is it?"
Lan Yi fixed her gaze on him and said, "You."
Xie Lian thought she hadn't finished speaking and asked, "What about me?"
