child?

She gave birth to him?

Lu Qing lifted her clothes and was startled by her bulging belly and stretch marks.

"how so!"

Startled, Lu Qing snapped back to her senses.

The scene before her eyes blurred, and she was back inside the Heavenly Heart Bottle.

Beside her, Gu Xicheng was smiling as he looked at her.

"Qingqing, do you like children that much? It took you so long to come out!"

"You saw the child too!" Lu Qing asked curiously.

How do you feel?

Gu Xicheng frowned: "Hmm... I feel it's better not to have children."

In the illusion, everyone was happy for the newborn child, and he was happy too, but when he saw Lu Qing's pale face and the incision on her stomach, he was not so happy.

He knew that childbirth was like a life-or-death experience for women.

Not only will it be painful, but it will also cause a lot of damage to the body after childbirth. Even if you can recover, the recovery process will be somewhat painful.

Subconsciously, he didn't want Lu Qing to suffer like this, so he quickly moved on.

"Qingqing, do you want to have children in the future?" Gu Xicheng asked.

Lu Qing coughed lightly:

"Given the current situation, it's not really appropriate for us to discuss this!"

Gu Xicheng: "Then let's discuss it after we get out!"

"Let's go! Let's go upstairs!"

After exiting the illusion, a staircase appeared before me.

Going up the stairs, I saw a door at the end.

Gu Xicheng stepped forward and pushed it aside. Then a white light flashed before his eyes, and he saw the basketball court.

He was wearing his high school basketball team uniform.

The physical activity of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old made him feel incredibly relaxed.

Although Gu Xicheng has maintained good lifestyle habits and exercises frequently after starting work, his physical condition is not as good as when he was eighteen or nineteen.

At least on a mental level, it is impossible to maintain the vitality of youth forever.

At this moment, he felt incredibly refreshed, using his eighteen or nineteen-year-old body.

"Old Gu! What are you standing there for? Get on the field!"

Young Meng Lianyun dribbled the ball and ran up.

Gu Xicheng flashed a bright smile and shouted, "Here we are!"

On the court, the young men poured out their sweat, their youthful and strong bodies giving them boundless power.

Gu Xicheng knew it was an illusion, but he still couldn't resist wanting to experience it a little more.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, quickly came out.

She looked at the beaming smile on Gu Xicheng's face and couldn't help but be surprised.

Gu Xicheng is in great shape, so why has he been indulging in the pleasures of being physically fit for so long?

Lu Qing got a little tired from standing, so he sat down on the ground to rest.

Suddenly, a voice reached my ears:

"Lu Qing, we've finally met!"

Lu Qing looked up and saw a figure hidden in the black mist.

Sensing the intense hostility emanating from the other person, Lu Qing frowned slightly.

"You are the Wrathful King!"

"That's right!"

The Wrathful King slowly emerged from the black mist.

Only then did Lu Qing finally get a clear look at the enemy's appearance.

The appearance of the Wrathful King in human form was not bad. He combined the faces of many good-looking people in the human world. Although he was good-looking, he had no special features.

Lu Qing felt that he was like an AI-generated mannequin.

However, his excessive hostility added a touch of evil and sinister malice to his expression and demeanor.

"Did you use the spring of the year as bait to lure us here?" Lu Qing asked.

The Wrathful King: "That's right."

Lu Qing: "You want us to help you open the bottle and let you out?"

The Wrathful King: "That's right!"

Lu Qing couldn't help but chuckle: "You're quite beautiful, but don't get your hopes up too high. If we were going to let you out, why would we go to all this trouble to seal you up here?"

The Prince of Li was not angry; he simply sat down opposite Lu Qing and looked at her.

“Lu Qing, the Li Clan originated from humans, and we are the same as humans.”

Humans can coexist with demons and monsters, so why can't they coexist with the wicked?

Lu Qing lowered her eyes and smiled softly:

"Humans are divided into good and evil, and so are demons and monsters. We follow our own rules and coexist peacefully in the world."

Although there may be some minor frictions at times, they will not affect the overall order.

But what about the Li Clan? The kindest Li Clan member I've ever met is one who possesses a human and incites them to do evil.

A mindless, ruthless race capable of taking lives based solely on instinct and nature—do you think such a race can coexist peacefully with humans?

King Li: "They do evil because they have not been tamed. As long as someone teaches them and sets rules for them, the Li race and humans can coexist peacefully!"

Look at me, I look no different from a human now, I can still read, and I know how to be polite!

"As long as you let me out, I promise to keep the Lizards in check and absolutely not cause trouble for the Human Race!"

Looking into the eyes of the Li Clan, which were filled with suppressed madness and bloodlust, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of sarcasm:

"We humans have a saying, 'A leopard can't change its spots.' Given what you've done before, do you think I'd believe you?"

Lu Qing was certain that once she agreed to release the Wrathful King, his first act would be to absorb all the malevolent energy of humanity and then destroy the entire human race.

This guy has absorbed too much negativity and learned the hypocrisy of human nature; he's quite the actor.

"Your Majesty, don't bother! There's no way I'll let you out!"

Upon hearing this, the Tyrant King could no longer maintain his facade:

"Lu Qing! Do you really want to be destroyed along with me?"

"You sacrificed your life, causing your friends and family to grieve for you, but how many people in the world will remember you!"

Lu Qing: "I don't need them to remember me!"

"I want to protect the whole world, not only because of my responsibility as a Taoist priest, but also because my friends and family live in this world."

"Many people are working hard to keep me alive, so why should I back down!"

"you……"

The King of Li wanted to say more, but Gu Xicheng, who had just woken up, chopped him away with a palm strike.

"It's so noisy!"

Lu Qing stood up and laughed, "You've finally made it out!"

"Gu Xicheng, are you really that attached to the pleasures of being strong?"

Gu Xicheng coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed:

"It's rare to go back to when I was eighteen or nineteen, and I played a basketball game there."

"By the way! How did you get out so quickly?"

Lu Qing raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Have you forgotten? I'm only nineteen years old now, in the prime of my life. I'm enjoying my prime, so why would I be nostalgic?"

“But you, Gu Xicheng! You’re six years older than me! You look so old!” Lu Qing teased.

Gu Xicheng's face darkened. He grabbed Lu Qing's waist and pulled her into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her hard on the lips.

"How dare you complain about my age? I'll deal with you when we get out here!"

Gu Xicheng whispered fiercely in Lu Qing's ear.

Lu Qing suddenly shuddered, and with an embarrassed laugh, pushed him away:

"I was just joking, don't be angry!"

"Hmph~ Too late!" Gu Xicheng arrogantly tossed his head away.

Lu Qing was on the verge of tears, regretting her sharp tongue.

My back! I'm so sorry!
