"Perhaps this is fate! It was destined that Ziyan would meet you two, husband and wife." Nangong Ziyan even believed in things like time travel, so naturally she also believed in fate.
"Maybe! Just like Junhao and I, it's as if we were destined to be husband and wife."
"By the way, Madam Qiu, it's rare for humans and demon beasts to marry and have children. How did you two meet? Demon beasts usually live on the Dark Continent. Only those demon beasts that can't survive on the Dark Continent come out and are eventually contracted by humans." Compared to other things, Nangong Ziyan was more curious about this. She really wanted to know how they came together.
"It's all a matter of fate. I was originally from Qingshui Town on the border of the Netherworld Continent. I was an orphan. After my parents died, I lived with my uncle's family from a young age. However, my uncle's family treated me badly, and his two sons were even worse than beasts. Once, my uncle's eldest son got drunk and tried to force himself on me. I managed to escape after a fierce struggle, but I never had a peaceful place to live again. In despair, I thought about dying. Just as I was about to take my own life, Junhao appeared. At that time, Junhao had not yet transformed into his current form. After he saved me, he took me and hid in this cave to live. Although he was a demon beast, he was very kind to me. As for Junhao, he was also not well received by his family. After leaving the Dark Continent, he had been hiding in the Netherworld Continent to cultivate and transform into human form. He wanted to live a normal life like humans. Perhaps because we shared the same plight, we quickly fell in love with each other. And so, with heaven and earth as our witness, we began to live a true married life like humans."
Zi Muyu had a happy smile on her face as she said these words, which showed that she really loved Qiu Junhao.
"If you can cultivate and transform on your own, then Brother Qiu is the son of a human and a demon beast?" Nangong Ziyan asked curiously. According to the Shennong Scripture, demon beasts cannot cultivate and transform on their own, but rather through transformation potions made by humans. Only divine beasts can cultivate and transform on their own, but divine beasts all live on the Tianling Continent, and very few humans can form contracts with them.
"Because Junhao is the child of a demon and a human, his bloodline is impure, which is why he is disliked. After I became pregnant, he strongly opposed it and refused to let me have the child. But this is Junhao's and my child, how could I be so heartless as to abort it? No matter how much pain I have to endure, I must give birth to the child. I have persevered for seven months now. Fortunately, I met you all, otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do." Zi Muyu held Nangong Ziyan's hand, her face full of gratitude. Would she be able to live openly and honestly with Junhao from now on?
"I see. Don't worry! It's all for the sake of your friendship. I'll come back to help you with the delivery in two months. The little one in your belly is quite mischievous and has a strong will to live. You and your baby will both be safe." Nangong Ziyan smiled gently. The days they spent together, cherishing each other, would be the happiest time of their lives. Their courage made her want to help them even more.
"Really? Miss Ziyan, you really want to come back and help us?" Zimuyu raised her voice excitedly.
"Well! It's best if you stay here for now until the baby is born. After all, it's not safe outside, and most people won't be able to find you here."
“Miss Ziyan, that’s what I think too.”
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun." Qiu Jun's cheerful and hearty voice came from behind.
Nangong Ziyan and Zi Muyu both looked at them.
"Junhao, Miss Ziyan said she will come back to help me have a baby."
"Thank you so much, Miss Ziyan." Qiu Junhao was even more grateful.
Bei Ming Haotian made no comment, looking at Nangong Ziyan with a puzzled expression. Why would Yan'er want to help this human-demon couple without hesitation?
“Brother Qiu, Madam Qiu and Ziyan told you your story. Because I could feel your kind hearts, I decided to help you. Ziyan will come again in two months.”
"Thank you, Miss Ziyan, thank you, Demon Lord," Qiu Junhao said sincerely.
"It's getting late, you should rest too!" Nangong Ziyan nodded to Zi Muyu and Qiu Junhao.
"Haotian, let's go back too!"
Bei Ming Haotian remained silent, then embraced Nangong Ziyan and disappeared into the cave.
After watching Nangong Ziyan and the others leave, Qiu Junhao excitedly sat down on the edge of the bed.
“Yu’er…”
"Junhao, have the children been safely returned to their families? They've been locked in this cave for days; they must be terrified." Zi Muyu was most worried about the children, fearing that their young hearts would be hurt.
"Yu'er, don't worry too much. The children have all been handed over to the Demon Lord's men and have been safely sent home." Qiu Junhao lovingly touched Zi Muyu's face. The thought that she would no longer have to endure inhuman suffering filled him with joy.
"By the way, Junhao, you looked so regretful just now. Did you figure something out? After all, Miss Ziyan is our benefactor. If there's anything we can do to help her, that would be the best."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Junhao's eyes flickered. He shifted his body and embraced Zi Muyu, gently stroking her swollen belly with one large hand. He said, "Yu'er, it's really nothing. It's just that they are in love between a human and a demon, so Miss Ziyan might have a hard time."
"Junhao, are you sure that's all you've noticed?"
Zi Muyu straightened up and looked directly into Qiu Junhao's eyes, clearly not believing his words.
"Hmm!" Qiu Junhao gave an unnatural "hmm," not daring to look directly at Zi Muyu.
"Yu'er, nothing can be hidden from you. Their love story is full of hardships and is long. Moreover, in the eyes of men, Miss Ziyan is a woman who can bring hope and endless light. If the Demon Lord wants to be with her, he not only has to overcome these obstacles, but more importantly, the demon spirit in the Demon Lord's body. Once the Demon Lord becomes a demon, only Nangong Ziyan can save him."
"Why is it that only Nangong Ziyan can save the Demon Lord?"
“Yu’er, you could say that Nangong Ziyan was born for him. Putting everything else aside, even I was afraid of her the first time I saw her.”
