Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

On the Xuan Tian Continent, in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, dark clouds obscured the sun, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

"Help, help me..." A woman, pale-faced, weakly shuffled her arms across the ground, struggling to move forward. She uttered faint cries for help, leaving a horrifying trail of blood behind her.

Her lower abdomen was swollen, indicating that she was a pregnant woman about to give birth.

She turned her head with difficulty, her fearful gaze falling on the stunningly beautiful woman slowly approaching behind her. The woman's beauty was like a blooming poppy, gorgeous yet carrying a deadly poison.

The contractions in her abdomen grew stronger and stronger, and she felt her consciousness beginning to fade. But she clung to her last breath, her lips trembling, managing to utter a few broken syllables: "Why...why...did...you...do...this...to...me?"

Despair and confusion surged within her. She couldn't understand why someone who was once as close as a sister would kill her so cruelly, nor could she understand why she would be driven into such a desperate situation just as she was about to give birth.

"I also want to ask why." Jiang Shuyue looked down at her, a mocking smile curving her crimson lips, her voice as cold and piercing as ice: "Why is it that you, a useless piece of trash, a piece of trash who can't even muster spiritual power, are engaged to His Highness the Crown Prince?" She leaned slightly closer to the woman's pained face, her tone filled with jealousy and resentment, "Why is it that even after you've lost your virginity and are utterly disgraced, His Highness the Crown Prince refuses to break off the engagement? Tell me, why!"

Shen Yunxi's consciousness teetered amidst the excruciating pain and blood loss, but Jiang Shuyue's words struck her like a thunderclap in her chaotic mind. She stood there stunned for a moment, her unfocused gaze gradually focusing on Jiang Shuyue's distorted face, a wave of disbelief and shock washing over her.

A vague thought gradually became clear. In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she struggled to open her mouth and, with her last bit of strength, asked in a trembling voice, "You...you also like the Crown Prince?"

The entire Shen family, including those so-called scions of prominent families, avoided her like the plague, as if she were some kind of filth. Only Jiang Shuyue was like a ray of light, warming her lonely childhood.

She treated her like a sister, showing her great care and concern.

Shen Yunxi knew she admired Crown Prince Chu Ye, but her inferiority complex held her back. It was Jiang Shuyue who encouraged her time and time again, giving her the courage to approach Chu Ye, to please him, and even to devise strategies and create opportunities for her.

But in the end, it turned out to be just an elaborate scam?

"It's mutual love!" Jiang Shuyue gritted her teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth, her eyes filled with a sinister glint that was almost tangible: "His Highness the Crown Prince and I are truly in love!"

She suddenly crouched down, grabbed Shen Yunxi's disheveled hair, and forced her to look up at her. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with madness and jealousy: "If you hadn't interfered, if you hadn't relied on the Yun family's power and that damned marriage contract, the position of Crown Princess would have been mine!"

She screamed hysterically, her voice filled with resentment and bitterness: "You ugly, stupid piece of trash, what right do you have to have all this? What right do you have?"

"Just because you possess the Phoenix Root Spirit Bone?"

Looking at Jiang Shuyue, who was once gentle and considerate but now had a狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face, Shen Yunxi felt a chill run through her body, as if she had fallen into an abyss. That once warm smile now seemed so hypocritical, sending shivers down her spine. It was as if she had been cruelly betrayed by the person she trusted most, and this excruciating pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
