So Lu Xiyu's husband is Gu Fancheng!
I was a bit surprised. What kind of parents would give their child such a malicious name? They must be really eager to ruin their own kid!
Just like autumn grass encountering frost, full of difficulties and frailties. Although heroes may emerge, their lives are full of twists and turns...
Judging from this guy's cold and unapproachable appearance, it's obvious that his life has been full of hardships!
However, it's also possible that it was through countless hardships that this guy became such a terrifying being. The dharma image behind him was no ordinary spiritual entity. Although it didn't look imposing, the spiritual energy contained in that blue - purple spiritual entity was like an infinite universe, so vast that it was terrifying!
I'm afraid that even the few emperors in the underworld might not have a spiritual entity as powerful as his. But he had encountered a blood curse that even the immortals would find difficult to break!
A blood curse is actually a contract set by one's closest relatives with their own blood. Except for those ghosts, goblins that have repaid their physical bodies by cutting flesh and bones, even great sages and powerful immortals would be bound by such a contract and couldn't bear the intention to kill their relatives.
Gu Fancheng. No wonder even the ghost messengers in the underworld called him the "Great Demon"! He was probably a god - like existence. In the right path, the kinship between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters is the foundation of the world. They couldn't kill their fathers or mothers, just as they couldn't destroy the sky and the earth.
The one who came to the delivery room to "give a big gift" to Lu Xiyu must be a close relative of Gu Fancheng. So when Gu Fancheng had the intention to kill for the sake of his wife, he suffered a strong backlash himself!!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was pressed down by that beggar.
"Fourth brother, to repay you for taking such good care of me,"
The beggar's smile became even crazier. "I can let you watch how your son will be possessed by the old man, and that high - ranking official in the underworld who is eager to be reincarnated to enjoy wealth and honor in the world, hehehe..."
He strangled Gu Fancheng's neck like a madman. "He will be integrated into another god's body, making that ancient god even more powerful!"
Before children turn twelve, their spiritual souls are unstable. They haven't had time to fully integrate their souls with their bodies, so they may suffer from soul - loss syndrome, which is commonly known as "losing one's soul" in the world.
Many children change their personalities after having their souls called back. Western medicine would say that it's a stress reaction caused by illness, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that the soul that has been retrieved is not the original owner of the body!!
I had already seen that skeleton - like old man grinning wildly and rushing towards the delivery room.
As a spiritual entity, he passed through the wall effortlessly and slipped into the egg - blue door.
At this moment, I could already hear the crying of a baby from the delivery room. Had Lu Xiyu given birth?!!
This was a critical moment. When a baby was born, the soul entered the body. At this time, even the most powerful immortals would have all their divine powers sealed in a small and delicate body and couldn't use them. Now, Lord Lu was just like an ordinary little baby, completely defenseless against the malice from the outside world.
If I hesitated for even a moment, Lord Lu's path of reincarnation might be blocked!
No wonder he had just told me to help his father...
I kicked open the door of the delivery room and rushed in.
The "old man" that the beggar had mentioned was like a huge and ugly spider, crawling on the ground on all fours and cackling as if his scheme had already succeeded.
"Where is it? Where?!!!"
There were six delivery rooms in total. The old man clung to the doors with his four limbs and peeked into each one.
I had run behind him and slapped the green talisman directly on his back. Unexpectedly, the old man's severed head suddenly twisted 360 degrees and turned to the back, showing a face that was wailing loudly. "I've been harmed like this by my unfilial son and his wife. Can't you have a little pity on me?"
"Ah?!"
I couldn't help but be stunned. This old man who had died a miserable death was actually Lu Xiyu's father - in - law!
"They took my lifespan to save their own lives. I just want to live another life by using my son's body... I'm so miserable!"
Suppressed by the green talisman, he wailed and showed a pleading look on his face, hoping to gain my pity.
I blinked and didn't hesitate to summon a Yin Five - Thunder Talisman. It exploded with a "puff" sound from the place sealed by the green talisman. Streaks of blue - white electric light burst out from the gap between the old man's neck and body.
Then there was a series of soft "puff, puff, puff" sounds. The old man's extremely emaciated spiritual body suddenly swelled into a ball. Under the semi - transparent gray - white skin, countless streaks of blue - white electric light were flowing and quickly tearing him apart...
In just a blink of an eye, the old man who had tried to seize his grandson's body was blown to pieces by the Yin Five - Thunder Talisman.
"Old man! Who cares if you're miserable or not!"
I snorted coldly. I've always been the kind of person who helps relatives rather than being reasonable.
Lu Xiyu was my friend and the daughter of Master Lu. No matter who she was against, I would definitely help her without hesitation!
After dealing with that skeleton - thin old man, I started looking for Lu Xiyu.
I decided to guard her myself!
Lord Lu's worry was not unfounded. Since ancient times, whenever a powerful figure was born, they would be coveted by malicious and ambitious spirits!
I ran towards the last delivery room where there was a faint crying sound of a baby.
"Xixi?!"
I pushed open the light - green door of the delivery room. I saw three midwives standing still as if they had been cast with a freezing spell.
Lu Xiyu was half - lying on the delivery bed. There were a few beads of sweat on her forehead, but her expression was not very painful. When she saw me coming, she was also stunned. "Xia... Xiaohe, why are you here?"
"Have you not given birth yet?"
I didn't even have time to think about how Lu Xiyu had frozen those people. Looking at her slightly swollen belly, I was completely confused.
"You must be kidding."
At this moment, Lu Xiyu could still smile. I couldn't help but admire this woman from the bottom of my heart.
"When Xiao Lu is born, all the ghosts will covet him. We have to lure out those evil ghosts who want to harm him first!"
Beside Lu Xiyu was a small straw doll with a yellow talisman on it with a birth date written on it. The straw doll was crying loudly.
"Don't you feel pain?"
I've never given birth, but I've seen on TV that every woman giving birth would cry out in pain. Lu Xiyu was so calm that she didn't look like she was about to give birth at all.
"I had painless labor."
Lu Xiyu's eyes were curved. It seemed that she was very confident about the upcoming danger. I didn't know where her confidence came from!
"Does painless labor really mean no pain?" I've always been distrustful of Western medicine, but this was not the time to talk about this. "Your husband is being entangled by his elder brother in the corridor outside... It should be his elder brother, right!"
