"His elder brother?"
A look of surprise flashed across Lu Xiyu's sweaty face.
"Why is Gu Linze in the capital?"
She held the straw doll in her arms and gently rocked it, really acting as if she was caring for her own baby. "He... he should be in Green City!"
Saying so, Lu Xiyu even tried to get up from the delivery bed in a hurry.
"Hey, Xixi, you're a pregnant woman. How can you just run around?"
I quickly reached out and held back Lu Xiyu, who was extremely worried about her husband.
"Xiaohe, you don't understand. Gu Fancheng can't deal with his family alone!"
Lu Xiyu bit her lower lip, stuffed the straw doll into my arms, got out of bed, and walked out along the wall. "His father, Gu Yinghua, made a blood contract with him, stating that he must never harm his blood relatives for all eternity. They will definitely do harm to Gu Fancheng!"
"Gu Yinghua? Is he that skeleton - like old ghost?" Since I couldn't persuade Lu Xiyu, I simply supported her and asked.
"Yes. He's imprisoned in the body of the eldest brother, Gu Linze. How... how could they know we've come to the capital?"
Lu Xiyu frowned beautifully. "Gu Fancheng has been looking for them for a long time!"
"The ones coming are not kind. I'm afraid they were bewitched by some evil thing and came to cause trouble for Lord Lu!"
I remembered what the beggar said and felt a headache. Even if I devoured her clone like I did before, or Lu Xiyu sealed her in a soul - bottle, we still couldn't completely eliminate that hateful One - Eyed Buddha Mother. She was like a virus that could reproduce infinitely. As long as humans had unrealistic desires they wanted to fulfill, she would reappear in this world.
"Don't be afraid. Gu Fancheng is there."
Lu Xiyu seemed to have great confidence in her man. Well... that was right. I had never seen a Dharma form with boundless power like his!
As we were talking, I had already supported Lu Xiyu into the corridor of the delivery room. The big door that I had kicked open was half - ajar, and we could see Gu Fancheng and his elder brother wrestling on the ground.
"Gu Fancheng, don't kill him!"
After all, Lu Xiyu was about to give birth. Although she had taken painkillers, she was already weak when walking. Seeing Gu Fancheng punching the beggar on the ground, making him wail, she still shouted worriedly.
I could quite understand Gu Fancheng's state of mind. If someone coveted my wife and child like this, how could I not be furious?!
Hearing Lu Xiyu's voice, Gu Fancheng finally looked up. "Xixi, is the baby okay?!"
Saying so, he walked towards us.
"Stop!!"
Lu Xiyu and I shouted sternly at the same time. "Take one more step and you're done!"
I had already raised the last two talismans of Si Jiangchen in my hand, and Lu Xiyu had already opened the seal of the small white - porcelain bottle with a slender neck in her hand.
"Hehe. I've become so similar. How can you still tell the difference?"
That fake Gu Fancheng was in awe of the magic tools in our hands and slowly stopped. There was a hint of confusion in his sinister laughter.
"Stupid thing! Gu Fancheng loves his wife so much. How could his first words be asking about the baby?"
I felt sorry for the intelligence of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother. She might not understand the meaning of the deep affection between husband and wife. I clearly remembered what Lord Lu had said to me before entering the delivery room. Obviously, he was reminding his father that when caring about his mother, he mustn't forget about himself!
"Sky is round, earth is square, laws are nine - fold. Yin gives birth, yang follows. All ghosts have nowhere to hide. Dare to disobey, and be struck by the Five Thunderbolts!"
I was too lazy to talk to her. I raised two talismans, combined my fingers into a sword - finger, and pointed towards the slightly brightening sky.
The two green talismans were infused with the blue energy of the sky by Si Jiangchen. Countless thunderbolts rolled out from the talismans, but instead of striking the fake Gu Fancheng, they struck straight up into the sky.
For a moment, electric currents flew everywhere. Countless shrill wails accompanied the Five Thunderbolts, shattering the sky that was already showing the first light of dawn.
At the same time, the white - porcelain soul - bottle in Lu Xiyu's hand also exerted its power. All those endless fragments of the sky were collected into the bottle by her...
It was only then that I realized that the two of us were still in that delivery room painted with light - blue walls. We hadn't taken a single step out.
That fake husband of Lu Xiyu stood in the space that was shattered into pieces by the thunderbolts and suddenly transformed into a woman as huge as ten meters tall. The woman was extremely beautiful, with a high nose and deep - set eyes, looking like she had Aryan blood. Her dark - brown hair fluttered in the thunderbolts, and her charming expression would probably make no man able to resist her temptation.
There were two strings of golden bells hanging on her bare feet. With each step she took, her body shrank a little. Under the wanton strikes of my Yin Five Thunderbolts, she actually walked up to us steadily.
"Let me take a look at the noble person from the underworld!"
When she walked up to Lu Xiyu, the woman had already become the same size as a normal person. Only her whole body was covered in a thick dark - blue skin, and her face emitting a faint blue light suddenly leaned towards Lu Xiyu's bulging belly. That look of joy and greed was like a hungry glutton suddenly seeing a delicious lamb.
Needless to say, this was the true form of the One - Eyed Buddha Mother. She usually showed herself as a single eye in the black mist. But now that she showed her true form, it seemed that she was determined to obtain the soul of Judge Lu Zhidao!
"What do you think you are!"
I stepped forward and blocked in front of Lu Xiyu. "A demonic ghost who killed her own flesh and blood. How dare you come to look at a baby born into the world?!"
The One - Eyed Buddha Mother personally killed her children who tried to stop her from becoming a god and made their skins into saddles to sit on all the time. She could show off her determination to become a god, but she couldn't tolerate others mentioning her evil deed of killing her own children!
This was the demon in her heart that she could never overcome. That was why she could never achieve the right result in cultivation!
After hearing my words, the One - Eyed Buddha Mother straightened up, bared her uneven fangs, and bit straight at my neck.
Naturally, I wasn't going to show weakness either. Although the feeling of devouring her clone in the hospital last time was disgusting, now I was protecting Lu Xiyu. No matter how much I disliked that feeling, I had to stop her!
My fingers had already grabbed the One - Eyed Buddha Mother's glabella.
Ordinary soul bodies were like a mass of air without any tactile sensation. But this One - Eyed Buddha Mother had been a demonic evil for thousands of years and was worshiped by the power of faith. My fingertips felt a cold and slippery sensation.
"Do you want to get rich?"
"Do you want to live forever?"
"Do you want to become the most beautiful woman in the world?"
"Do you want your man to never have a wandering heart?!"
Countless worldly evil thoughts and desires instantly rushed into my mind like a tide. The One - Eyed Buddha Mother's extremely beautiful face suddenly split open where I was holding it, revealing a single eye shining with a venomous light. She transformed into the fierce image of her second Dharma body, maintaining the posture of biting my neck, and said to me, "Your desires are my desires!"
