"..."
Seeing Mo Shisheng's seriousness, Li Ji slightly raised her eyes to look at her. Li Ji knew that Mo Shisheng was doing this for her own good. After thinking for a moment, Li Ji still spoke up: "Master likes beautiful people. My current appearance will only make him disgusted... I'm afraid..."
"Just because of that?"
Mo Shisheng never expected that Li Ji was so agitated because of this. The reason she wanted to stop Ming Qiancheng from seeing her was because of this. Her eyes grew even colder. "You're willing to risk your life for him? He's just a pretty face, and you're so afraid of him?"
"I care a lot about what he thinks of me..."
Li Ji knew that Mo Shisheng didn't quite understand her concern, but she was telling the truth.
Ming Qiancheng was initially attracted to her because of her outstanding appearance. Now, she is so thin that she is emaciated, with a bulging belly and a body that is just skin and bones, lacking any beauty whatsoever.
Even she sometimes felt disgusted with herself. No woman doesn't love beauty, but she didn't regret becoming like this, at least she was able to leave a child for Ming Qiancheng.
Although she didn't regret it, she was still afraid of being seen by Ming Qiancheng like this.
She only wanted to leave her best memories in Ming Qiancheng's mind and didn't want any bad memories to appear...
Mo Shisheng narrowed his eyes slightly, noticing that Li Ji seemed a little down, so he spoke softly, "I will keep my promise to you. If you can't control your emotions again, then don't talk to me anymore."
"No way!"
This time, Li Ji answered quickly, shaking her head, "Really, Shi Sheng, believe me, there won't be a next time!"
Seeing this, Mo Shisheng simply kept his gaze fixed on Li Ji and didn't say anything more.
...
As her memories began to fade, Mo Shisheng spoke softly:
“At first I also thought that Liji was afraid that you would not let her give birth to that child.”
Mo Shisheng looked at Ming Qiancheng, and when her gaze fell on his eyes, which were covered by a black cloth, a complicated look flashed across her eyes. She pursed her lips slightly and continued, "But later she told me that she simply didn't want to ruin the beautiful image she had in your heart."
"..."
A positive image, perhaps?
Ming Qiancheng didn't understand, and even less did he comprehend, how Li Ji's pregnancy would affect her appearance.
Of course, he didn't ask it aloud, but Mo Shisheng still noticed his doubts.
Mo Shisheng said calmly, "She is a mortal, carrying the bloodline of your demon realm. She is thin and bony, with a face as pale as paper. She is completely different from the one in your heart; she has completely changed her appearance."
"She felt that she was ugly because she said that you like beautiful women. Back in the underground royal city, there was no shortage of beautiful women around her. But I think she is very beautiful. She is really beautiful for working hard to do something for what she wants."
Li Ji might think she looked ugly, but Mo Shisheng didn't. Although she was skin and bones, her eyes still shone with love for children.
Although the child was born for Ming Qiancheng, Mo Shisheng could tell that she loved the little dumpling very much. When she was pregnant, the maternal glow emanating from her was exceptionally loving.
When the little dumpling was successfully born despite a difficult labor, she kissed the little dumpling's forehead with hope and affection. Li Ji loved the little dumpling; it was the child she had risked her life to bring into the world, a being more important than her own life.
