"What's wrong? What happened?" the village chief asked the crowd as he approached.

He looked completely bewildered.

"Village chief, look this way!" a thug shouted at the village chief, pointing in the direction where the female lead and Ye Han were.

Following the direction the thug pointed, the village chief then witnessed an astonishing scene!

"What...what's going on?"

"In all my years, I have never seen a man with such a large belly!" the village chief exclaimed in astonishment.

“Village chief, come up here and touch his belly, and you’ll understand,” another thug who had touched Ye Han’s belly earlier quickly added.

Upon hearing this, the village chief stepped forward, and after arriving beside Ye Han Di, raised his right hand and placed it on Ye Han Di's stomach.

Suddenly, the village chief felt something unusual in his hand; he could feel Ye Han's stomach moving!

Just like a normal pregnant woman, when the baby moves in the womb!

"This...this...she's pregnant?!" the village chief stammered.

He looked utterly incredulous!

"Yes, village chief, if we hadn't discovered this strange thing, we wouldn't have bothered you so late at night," the gang leader said with a fawning smile.

Meanwhile, Ye Han, who was tied up and gagged, looked humiliated.

"Father, what should we do?" The village chief's son also looked alarmed.

After hearing his son's words, the village chief did not answer immediately. Instead, he pulled the rag out of Ye Han's mouth.

Who exactly are you?

"Why would a man like you be pregnant like a woman?!" the village chief asked Ye Han with a serious expression.

His expression was very cold and stern.

"This is my private matter. Village Chief, please let us leave, considering how well we've behaved all these years," Ye Han said with a hint of pleading in his voice.

"We promise we will never come back."

"No! We can't let them leave!"

"Everyone has the right to kill evil spirits!"

"We can't let them go so easily!"

...

Upon hearing Ye Han's words, the thugs nearby immediately chimed in.

I'm worried that Ye Han will come back to take revenge on them someday!

After pondering for a moment, the village chief was also at a loss as to what to do.

"I need to discuss this matter with the other elders in the clan before making a decision. You all take them to the ancestral hall and lock them up first," the village chief said to the crowd after a moment of silence.

"Sheng'er, you go with them and take the people to the ancestral hall first," the village chief said, turning to his eldest son with a serious expression.

"Okay, Dad," the village chief's son quickly replied, his face solemn.

"Alright, everyone else can leave now. We'll discuss this further tomorrow."

It turned out that because the thugs made such a commotion when they arrived at the village chief's house, some villagers from the surrounding area also came out.

At this time, they were all gathered at the village chief's house.

After that, the female protagonist and Ye Han were locked in the village's ancestral hall.

The next day

After discussion among the village chief and other clan elders, they unanimously decided to drown the female protagonist and Ye Han in the pond!

After all, it's best not to spread such a strange and horrifying thing around.

There are still so many unmarried young people in the village. For their sake, we should keep them close to the village.

After making the decision, the village chief led his men toward the location of the ancestral hall.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist and Ye Han, who were locked in the ancestral hall, also looked dejected.

"I should have kept this child in the first place," the female protagonist said, looking annoyed.

His words were filled with deep regret.

Upon hearing the female lead's words, Ye Han suddenly opened his eyes wide, staring intently at her with a cold expression on his face.

"You are the child's mother, and you don't want your own flesh and blood?!" Ye Han said coldly.

"Things are different now." The female protagonist's face turned ugly after hearing Ye Han's cold and ruthless words.

At this moment, the female protagonist is just like those ruthless and heartless men in modern times, only caring about enjoying herself for a moment. When faced with trouble, she doesn't want to bear the consequences and only complains.

"Now that the child is here, I will not kill him!" Ye Han glanced at his abdomen, then looked up at the female lead and said.

A determined look shone in his eyes.

This child was made from his own flesh and blood, and was connected to him by blood, so naturally he couldn't bear to get rid of him.

Upon hearing this, the female protagonist looked extremely displeased.

"Now everything is over, and we don't know what those people will do to us."

The female protagonist no longer wanted to argue with Ye Han about these pointless things, so she turned around and started talking about the current situation.

"At this point, we can only take it one step at a time," Ye Han said calmly.

"But...but..." Just as the woman was about to say something, the door of the ancestral hall was suddenly opened from the outside.

As the gate opened, the previously dimly lit ancestral hall became bright again.

The village chief and the others then came in from outside.

"Village chief, please let us go! Considering we've been together for a few years, please let us leave!" the female protagonist pleaded loudly upon seeing the newcomers.

There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

The village chief, upon hearing the female protagonist's words, remained completely unmoved.

"Don't blame me, blame yourselves. You insisted on having this wicked child. It is unforgivable for a man to bear a child," the village chief said coldly.

"Men, take them away," the village chief then ordered.

"Village chief, I...I have something to say." The female protagonist saw the faces that were once familiar to her, but now all wore indifferent expressions, and her heart turned cold.

He shouted loudly.

"We are not from Xuanyi Country!"

“We come from the Phoenix Dynasty, where male offspring are the only ones to conceive. Ye Han is not some kind of ghost or monster.” The female protagonist looked at the village chief with a sincere expression, her eyes revealing a hint of urgency.

The village chief, upon hearing the female protagonist's words, showed no emotion whatsoever.

However, I was somewhat surprised.

After pausing to process what the female lead had said, the village chief returned to his original indifferent demeanor.

Whatever the reason, it's best to resolve things between the two of them as soon as possible. Besides, he's never heard of any Phoenix Dynasty.

Even if there really is a Phoenix Dynasty, and men really do get pregnant and give birth, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!

People from other countries coming to this place are definitely not coming of good news!

It's best to resolve this sooner rather than later!

"Hurry up, get started!" the village chief shouted to the back.

Upon hearing the village chief's words, the villagers rushed forward and, ignoring the two men's resistance, forced them out.

Afterwards, he led the two towards a river in the village.

After them, many villagers followed suit.

Before long, they arrived at the riverbank.

At this time, several other people had already arrived at the riverbank.

On the shore, two pig cages woven from bamboo stood out conspicuously in the sunlight!
