Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

As he spoke, he carefully examined Hong Xiuying, and seemed somewhat puzzled about the baby in her belly.

After a long pause, Hong Xiuying said in a deep voice, "Master, you haven't made a wrong diagnosis, have you?"

Generally speaking, when a woman becomes pregnant, her first reaction is great joy.

However, Hong Xiuying's beautiful face showed no joy whatsoever, indicating that she did not wish to become pregnant at this time.

You know, she's still a virgin! How could she possibly be pregnant? Hong Xiuying thought to herself.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Hong, this matter is indeed hard to believe, but my diagnosis is correct. I dare not say that I am the best doctor in the world, but in the entire city of Lin'an, I am unmatched."

As he spoke, he revealed his medical skills. Even if one doesn't know much about medicine, it's still quite easy to use a little magic to save people.

"How could I possibly be pregnant?"

Hong Xiuying could hardly believe it; she was a widow living in a new house, while her husband had long since died.

In addition, she was very familiar with her own situation and would never believe that she was pregnant.

Li Xiuyuan said in a deep voice, "This humble monk knows this news, and it is indeed hard to believe, but it is true. And the child you are carrying, Miss Hong, is definitely not an ordinary child."

As he spoke, he fixed his gaze on Hong Xiuying's belly.

You should know that when Li Xiuyuan was channeling his magic power, the baby was constantly consuming it.

How could an ordinary baby possess such abilities? Moreover, Li Xiuyuan's magical power was extremely pure, making it difficult even for a Golden Core cultivator to absorb a single trace.

Hong Xiuying stood up, looking dazed. She found it hard to accept Li Xiuyuan's words and pressed him for an answer: "Then what exactly is the fetus I'm carrying?"

She is still a virgin and has never been with anyone, so there is absolutely no possibility of her getting pregnant. Therefore, there are only two possibilities: first, Li Xiuyuan made a wrong diagnosis.

However, judging from his skill just now—flying through the air—this possibility is extremely slim. Secondly, there's the issue of the fetus.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Miss Hong, you might be carrying a ghost child."

This ghost fetus is not the same as the one in the original story. Back then, it was the Earth Goddess who caused the trouble. This one is a real ghost fetus.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in alarm, "A ghost fetus? What ghost fetus? Please, Master, save me!"

As she spoke, she bowed gracefully, revealing a glimpse of her white bra in front of her chest!

Li Xiuyuan said repeatedly, "Miss Hong, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I will definitely help you solve your troubles."

As he spoke, he helped Hong Xiuying up.

Hong Xiuying looked at Li Xiuyuan with teary eyes, wanting to find out what was going on in her womb. She had just escaped the clutches of a tiger, but now she was receiving more bad news.

Li Xiuyuan asked, "Miss Hong, in these past few days, have you encountered anything unusual, or eaten anything you shouldn't have?"

If he wants to know the secret of Hong Xiuying's ghost fetus, he must first understand the cause and solve it once and for all, otherwise, he might wait until he gets rid of the ghost fetus only to have another one appear.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying pondered for a moment and said softly, "I haven't encountered anything unusual. As for the food, it's the same as usual."

"Oh, by the way, a few days ago when I was doing farm work, I suddenly swallowed a black fruit, and I was fine afterwards. I wonder if that's why I got pregnant."

Suddenly, Hong Xiuying seemed to remember something and quickly told him what had happened.

Li Xiuyuan nodded upon hearing this and replied, "If there are no unexpected circumstances, it will be that black fruit."

As he spoke, he rested his chin on his hand, secretly trying to figure out a solution.

Fortunately, Li Xiuyuan possessed the memories of Jianglong, making him quite adept at dealing with ghosts.

Seeing Li Xiuyuan deep in thought, Hong Xiuying didn't disturb him and waited quietly by his side.

After a long silence, Li Xiuyuan said, "This humble monk has two methods, but both require a price."

Although he still possessed the memories of the Dragon Subduing Technique, he was unable to use some of his abilities, as his opponent was a Golden Immortal-level expert, and Li Xiuyuan was still somewhat lacking in skill.

Hong Xiuying exclaimed in surprise, "Please teach me, Master!"

As she spoke, she bowed again, giving Li Xiuyuan a graceful bow.

Li Xiuyuan helped Hong Xiuying up and said calmly, "Miss Hong, there's no need for such formalities. Saving lives is what this humble monk should do."

He paused and then said, "The first method is to give birth to a ghost fetus. If this humble monk can help you with the pregnancy, your life can be guaranteed."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying shook her head and said, "No, no, this ghost fetus cannot be born."

As she spoke, she was extremely unwilling. Since it was said to be a ghost fetus, who knew what kind of monster it would give birth to? Moreover, she already had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law. If she suddenly became pregnant, how would she explain it?

Chapter 139 Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing looks better than your sister-in-law

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan's lips curled up, and he said, "If that doesn't work, we'll have to use the second method: remove the ghost fetus. However, you'll still need to nurture it and water it with fresh blood every day."

"Because the ghost fetus entered your womb, if she dies, you will definitely not feel good."

This is the last resort. Unless Li Xiuyuan's skill level can reach a higher realm, he can ensure that Hong Xiuying is not harmed and that the ghost fetus can be removed.

But at least a celestial being would be needed. By then, Hong Xiuying would have already given birth!

Hong Xiuying's face showed surprise and uncertainty, meaning that after she removed the ghost fetus, she had to drip blood into it every day to keep it alive, just like a chicken incubating an egg, otherwise she would be harmed.

After a long pause, Hong Xiuying said in a deep voice, "Alright, please, Master, remove the demon fetus from my body."

As she spoke, she made up her mind to use the second method, which was at least better than carrying a big belly!

As for the daily blood loss, it won't be much, just a drop, and it won't harm anyone.

Li Xiuyuan replied, "Yes, but we still need to make some preparations to remove the ghost fetus. Besides, it's getting late, so let me take you home first!"

He had already agreed.

That ghost fetus was extraordinary. According to Li Xiuyuan's judgment, it would be at least at the Human Immortal realm after birth!

Moreover, her aptitude was extraordinary; if she were to cultivate, she would definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort. Li Xiuyuan had a ulterior motive: once the ghost fetus had fully hatched, he would take her under his wing.

In the future, when it comes to fighting with others, his disciples will also have strong opponents. Li Xiuyuan is only a Human Immortal at this time, but he has already set his sights far ahead. First of all, he possesses the 'Holy Buddha System'.

As for becoming a saint, Li Xiuyuan believed it was only a matter of time. After all, he could exchange for items like Primordial Purple Qi in the Merit Mall and Sin Mall.

However, Li Xiuyuan has only been in this world for a short time, and his merit points and sin points are pitifully few, so he has to use them in advance.

However, after a hundred or a thousand years, Li Xiuyuan's merit points and sin points would be enough to easily exchange for Primordial Purple Qi. Moreover, the Primordial Purple Qi produced by the system is the foundation of the Great Dao in the chaos.

It is definitely not the Primordial Purple Qi controlled by the Heavenly Dao in the primordial world. At this time, the saints in the Three Realms, to put it nicely, are supreme beings, but to put it bluntly, they are nothing more than puppets of the Heavenly Dao, confined in the chaos, and can only move around by relying on their clones.

Li Xiuyuan travels to other places, and after passing on his lineage, both merit points and sin points will come in an endless stream. His biggest problem is time.

Hong Xiuying nodded and replied, "In that case, thank you very much, Master!"

As she spoke, she led the way home. She was actually a little scared to go back alone, after all, Qin Heng's actions were still fresh in her mind, and she figured he wouldn't let it go easily.

Hong Xiuying was indeed quite frightened today. She returned to her home, which was located at the South Gate of the city. Her family was not wealthy, and her husband had died.

Hong Xiuying barely managed to support herself by doing needlework, and in her spare time she would go to the fields to help her mother-in-law.

Besides Hong Xiuying, there was also her mother-in-law and her brother-in-law at home, after Li Xiuyuan brought her back.

Hong Xiuying had only walked a short distance, and beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead. Pregnant women can't stand walking for long.

Li Xiuyuan shook his head upon seeing her and helped Hong Xiuying head home. She did not refuse, as she was well aware of her own health.

After a while, the two entered Hong Xiuying's house, where they saw some miscellaneous items in the yard and a house in front of them.

Suddenly, a reprimanding voice rang out: "So that's why! Sister-in-law, you don't like me. Turns out you've been hooking up with some wild monk!"

A man dressed in gray linen, with shifty eyes, came out of the house. When he saw the two people being intimate, he became extremely jealous.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuying's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Zhang Youde, don't talk nonsense. I have nothing to do with the master."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, letting go of Li Xiuyuan's support, but her anger remained.

The man's name was Zhang Youde, who was Hong Xiuying's brother-in-law. However, he was idle all day long and never cared about anything at home. If it weren't for the help from his mother and Hong Xiuying, he would have starved to death on the streets long ago.

Moreover, Zhang Youde frequently caused trouble, and he was also attracted by his sister-in-law's beauty after Hong Xiuying's husband died.

Zhang Youde even wanted the other woman to remarry him, and his mother, seeing that her youngest son was not married, did not stop him from marrying Hong Xiuying, but instead supported it.

If it weren't for the fact that Hong Xiuying's husband had only been dead for half a month, it probably would have been done long ago!

But in her mother-in-law's eyes, that was only a matter of time.

Zhang Youde lewdly said, "Sister-in-law, if you want a man, just come to me. Why bring a wild monk home?"

Although he was idle and lazy, he was not stupid and did not believe that Hong Xiuying would do such a thing, but he could use it to strike a blow against her.

Hong Xiuying shouted angrily, "You...you are shameless!"

As she spoke, she covered her breast with her right hand; she had been so angry that she could hardly breathe.

Upon seeing Zhang Youde's appearance, Li Xiuyuan immediately recognized him as a bad person. Moreover, his burning gaze was fixed on Hong Xiuying, and his words were extremely vulgar. Li Xiuyuan could not allow him to continue.

boom!

At some point, Li Xiuyuan made his move, coldly saying, "Trash! Although this humble monk does not kill, even Buddha has the Vajra Eye. You have gone too far!"

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and Zhang Youde suddenly fell to the ground and flew out, crashing heavily more than ten meters away.

"you you!"

Zhang Youde was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. Li Xiuyuan simply waved his hand, but the blow to Zhang Youde was incredibly heavy, as if his internal organs were about to be thrown out.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at them indifferently and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, if you dare to spout nonsense again, I, Xiuyuan, will take drastic measures!"

As he spoke, his icy gaze swept over them. In his eyes, Zhang Youde was just a minor character, not worth his trouble.
