"He's so lonely..."
A smile played on Li Ji's lips, carrying a hint of gentleness and maternal love.
After a long while, Mo Shisheng turned around and gently looked at Li Ji, "As long as you're alive, you can be with him and keep him from being lonely."
“But I will eventually die. My lifespan as a mortal is naturally incomparable to that of my master. Shi Sheng, I want to keep this child, because it is the only gift my master has given me…”
Li Ji reached out and grabbed her wrist with one hand, while protecting her own stomach with the other. Her eyes were filled with tears. "Shi Sheng, I want to keep him. Please help me, okay? I beg you..."
“Lifespan can be managed, but if you really want to keep this child, then you'll have to trade your life for his.”
Mo Shisheng was still unwilling to back down; in her heart, Liji was much more important than the child.
However, Mo Shisheng's thoughts were not what Li Ji thought. Seeing that Mo Shisheng's attitude was a bit firm, Li Ji pursed her lips and gently released her hand from Mo Shisheng's.
Mo Shisheng looked puzzled, thinking that Li Ji was unhappy or something, but when Li Ji tried to bend her knees slightly and kneel down...
Mo Shisheng's expression suddenly hardened. He reached out and grabbed Li Ji's shoulder to support her, his voice slightly cold and filled with anger as he growled, "What do you want to do?"
"Shi Sheng, please..."
Li Ji's face suddenly turned pale, cold sweat beaded on her forehead, one hand tightly gripped her clothes, the other hand held her stomach, "Shi Sheng, please... please help me... help me keep him..."
"..."
Noticing that something was wrong with Li Ji, Mo Shisheng's gaze turned even colder. "Stand up properly, let me help you to a seat!"
"No……"
Li Ji was so weak she was about to collapse to the ground, but upon hearing Mo Shisheng's words, she stubbornly refused to obey. The color drained from her lips, leaving them slightly pale. "Promise me and I'll get up..."
"..."
Li Ji must have figured out Mo Shisheng's personality, which is why she forced Mo Shisheng to agree to her at this time.
Normally, she would never force Mo Shisheng to do something she didn't want to do, but this time was different...
She must keep this child...
Li Ji's eyes were filled with pain, and she couldn't help but bite her lower lip with her teeth until blood was visible.
Seeing Li Ji in this state, Mo Shisheng still softened and gave in.
"I promise you."
Mo Shisheng sighed softly, "Can I get up now?"
"Thank you... thank you... Shi Sheng..."
After hearing Mo Shisheng's assurance, Li Ji finally stood up, but a sudden, sharp pain in her abdomen caused her to faint.
Mo Shisheng caught her quickly, took her back to her place, fed her a pill, left a letter by her pillow, and then left.
It was already noon when they returned to the Demon Realm, and Mo Shisheng couldn't help but sigh at how fast time had passed.
However, a whole morning had already passed while talking to Liji.
Thinking of the injured patient still lying in the palace who needed to be fed, Mo Shisheng pursed her lips slightly. As she walked into the courtyard, she happened to run into Qingluan delivering a lunchbox.
Qingluan still had a headband on her forehead, but it couldn't hide the bulge of the bag.
Mo Shisheng's lips curled slightly, "Logically, you shouldn't be in pain anymore, so why are you still carrying something?"
