Qǐfēi, a pomegranate spirit, had wished to cultivate to immortality for thousands of years. However, just as she was about to reach the final step, she was struck by lightning, losing all her cul...
I don't know if it's because Qifei is the original form of pomegranate, but after staying for a few days, the pregnancy became more stable.
Now that she was free to move around, Qifei insisted on going home.
Shura, who used to grant Qifei's every wish, is now even more obedient to her.
When Qifei returned home, she found that the house seemed to be under much stricter security.
"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Qifei looked at Xiuluo strangely.
Shura patted Qifei's head, "To prevent what happened last time from happening again."
"If you had someone with you at the time, you wouldn't have been arrested."
Actually, it was a real accident that Qifei was arrested last time.
She had been thinking that since her stomach was being pushed up by the baby every day, she couldn't eat much, so she went to the hospital to check if the baby would be affected.
Since it was a last-minute decision and the driver wasn't there, she figured she could just walk over slowly.
After all, it's said that walking more helps with production.
Moreover, the hospital is not particularly far from the house.
Who knew that she would be arrested as soon as she left the house.
Normally, Qifei could have found a way to escape, but now that she was heavily pregnant and her body was becoming increasingly cumbersome in the later stages of pregnancy, she dared not make any vigorous movements and instead obediently followed the thugs' instructions.
Everything revolves around the baby in her womb.
She didn't know why she was so unlucky; every time she went out, she would be targeted by thugs.
However, it's obvious that this person has been staking out the location for more than just a day or two.
She doesn't go out often, and even when she does, someone always accompanies her. It was truly an accident that she was alone that day.

In the dimly lit room, a man with a black cloth bag over his head and his hands and feet were tied to a chair.
The room was quiet, but there was a dripping sound of water.
The sound of dripping water clearly made the man tense.
He tried to rotate his wrists, but the bindings were too tight, causing his wrists to rub painfully.
He immediately stopped what he was doing; the burning pain made him afraid to move rashly.
It felt like an eternity before the man finally heard the door open.
He immediately turned his head toward the source of the sound, but unfortunately his head was covered and he couldn't see anything.
The jarring sound of the chair being pulled made him shiver involuntarily.
The hood was removed, and in an instant, he saw the person sitting opposite him. His pupils contracted sharply, and a habitual smile appeared on his face. "Xiao Luo, are you joking with your uncle? Did your uncle make you angry?"
The person sitting opposite was none other than Shura.
Shura looked at Yunfei with a half-smile, "My dear uncle, I thought you would know why I brought you here."
"Xiao Luo, are you mistaken?" Yunfei asked with a fawning smile. "Uncle didn't do anything wrong. Oh, I know. It's my fault for not spending enough time with your mother these past few days. I'll definitely spend more time with her when I get back."
Shura didn't waste any words with Yunfei, but simply said in a cold voice, "Read it to him."
Then someone stepped forward and said, "Yunfei colluded with the thug Jia Jin, made grand promises, wanted shares in the Xiu Group, and attempted to murder the head of the Xiu family and his wife and children."
Yunfei's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked at Xiu Luo to explain, "Xiao Luo, no, I didn't do such a thing."
"How could I do such a thing? You are my nephew, and Miss Song is my nephew's wife. How could I possibly harm you?"
Shura stood up with a cold laugh, looking down at Yun Fei with contempt in his eyes, "Since I invited you here, I naturally have solid evidence."
"Take good care of them," Shura said, then turned and left.
He originally wanted to ask why Yunfei did this, because he believed he hadn't wronged anyone. Although Yunfei was only accompanying Xiu Mu, he had given her enough money.
When he finally met the person, he suddenly had nothing left to ask; greed knows no bounds.
Some people are never satisfied; they only want to greedily possess everything.
"Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo, I'm innocent!" Yun Fei struggled and roared, "Shura, Shura, at least think of your mother! What if she knew you did this to me..."
Shura stood at the door and turned around. The coldness in her eyes made Yunfei shiver. "You should be grateful that my mother is here. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be able to talk to me here?"
The door behind him closed again, and screams echoed from inside the room.
"Sir, we've arrived," the driver said softly, and Shura slowly opened his eyes.
Qifei was waiting at the door when Xiuluo got out of the car and carefully helped her into the car.
"Where are we going?" Qifei asked affectionately, leaning against Xiu Luo's chest.
Shura's originally gloomy expression had eased considerably. "I'll take you to Starlight City to eat."
"Really?" Qifei exclaimed happily.
She had wanted to eat there for a long time, but she still hadn't been able to until she was close to giving birth.
The most beautiful part of Starlight City is its night view, so Shura took Qifei there at night.
When the boss comes over, we naturally find the best spot.
At night in the City of Stars, it feels like dining amidst a sea of stars, which is incredibly romantic.
Even Qifei, a fairy who used to be able to see a sky full of stars when she looked up, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
This is different from looking up at the sky from the ground.
It feels like you're surrounded by stars, with stars occasionally drifting by.
"It's so beautiful." No girl can resist the scenery in front of her, and Qifei is no exception.
She reached out and grabbed a soft, drifting star.
"What's in here?" Qifei pinched it; it was bulging.
"It's hydrogen gas. Actually, these are glowing star-shaped balloons that are changed every day," Shura and Qifei explained.
With a gentle release, Qifei's hand sent the star flying away.
The walls and floor of Star City are all made of glass, and they extend out from mid-air.
It felt like truly floating in the air, accompanied by the stars.
The City of Stars is not only beautiful, but most importantly, the food is really delicious.
Many people come here not just for the environment, but more so for the delicious food.
Qifei was captivated by the chef's skill from the very first bite, her eyes crinkling with happiness as she exclaimed, "Delicious!"
"If you like it, I'll have him make it for you at home later." Shura carefully prepared the food for her.
Qifei puffed out her cheeks and shook her head, "No need, the chef at home is fine too, we can come back here whenever we want to eat."
In this respect, Qifei never insists on possessing everything she likes.
Qifei ate a little more than usual, which was unusual for her, but her stomach felt even more uncomfortable from being so full.
"Let me walk with you. There's a lake nearby, and the view is quite nice at night." Shura helped Qifei up and let her walk slowly.
"Mmm." Qifei smiled sweetly at him and stood up with Xiu Luo's help.
He had just stood up when his face suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Shura immediately sensed something was amiss.
"I...I really want to give birth..." Qifei already felt like her water had broken.
