Chapter 153 Si Ye's Inner Demon
Sang Luo lay on the large golden nanmu bed, looking at the tall man in brocade clothes approaching the door, and said in a weak voice, "Aze is gone?"
"Are you talking about the South Sea Mermaid? He waited for a while at the palace gate and then left." Fei Yuan walked to the bedside and looked at her with a smile. "Little thing, you have me by your side, why are you still thinking about other male beasts?"
"...We're not familiar with each other."
"It will be cooked slowly." Fei Yuan saw her face covered in sweat and her lips turning pale. "Do you have a stomachache?"
"Yeah." Sang Luo nodded weakly. The late pregnancy was the most difficult, especially the last month before giving birth. Her stomach would always hurt from time to time. Her previous pregnancies were relatively short, so it was easier to bear. This time, her pregnancy was long, and the pain lasted longer.
Fei Yuan went out for a while and brought back a bowl of medicine. "Good boy, drink this bowl of medicine."
She leaned in to smell it, her nose wrinkling. "What is this? It's so bitter!"
"A pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Fei Yuan said, "Good medicine tastes bitter."
Sang Luo looked at the bowl of black medicine that smelled extremely bitter, with a look of resistance on his face, not wanting to drink it.
Fei Yuan stared at her moist lips, "Why? Do you need me to feed you personally?"
"No! No need!"
"Then drink the medicine obediently. I'm still waiting for you to bear a baby for me. I won't harm you." Fei Yuan brought another small bowl of brown malt sugar.
Sang Luo held the sweet malt candy in his mouth, held the medicine bowl, closed his eyes, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Haha, is it so hard to drink?" Fei Yuan couldn't help laughing when he saw her fearless look. He took the medicine bowl with a layer of medicine residue at the bottom of the bowl and handed it to the servant serving beside him.
"It doesn't taste good, but... it really works!" Sang Luo's eyes lit up slightly. After drinking the medicine, the bloating in her stomach was much relieved. Her body felt much lighter, almost like she was in the second trimester of pregnancy.
"Are you some reincarnated miracle doctor?" She looked at Fei Yuan.
Fei Yuan said, "The patient is just treating himself, and by analogy, I've expanded my business a bit."
He reached out and gently gathered her messy long hair, which was damp with sweat, and tucked it behind her ear. His voice was low and mellow, and it made Sang Luo's ears numb. "Xiao Luo'er, take good care of your pregnancy in the palace until you give birth and finish your confinement. During this period of time, I will personally take care of you. This is a unique honor in the world."
He even dismissed all the concubines in the harem.
Just waiting for her to move into the Beast King Palace.
Sang Luo then rested in the Fenghuang Palace with peace of mind.
Fei Yuan watched the development of the fetus in her belly every day and prepared corresponding pregnancy-maintaining medicine for her. His skills were even better than those of the most famous witch doctors outside.
Sang Luo relies on giving birth to children to advance in rank, but no woman is willing to suffer the pain of childbirth. Before she became pregnant, she and her beast husbands would ask witch doctors for care everywhere, but most of the medicines prescribed by witch doctors only had the effect of preserving the fetus and were not very helpful in alleviating the conditions during pregnancy. She still felt uncomfortable when she should have.
Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, both the body and mind are tormented.
Her physical discomfort became more severe, and she had to worry day and night about whether she would go into labor suddenly...
This pregnancy was the longest and most difficult so far, but Fei Yuan took good care of her. Sang Luo didn't have any problems during the entire late pregnancy, and she didn't even feel uncomfortable.
"The baby will be born in three days, probably around midnight." Fei Yuan sat beside the bed, caressing her round belly lovingly, as if she was carrying his child.
...He can't lay eggs himself, so he wants to steal his nephew's offspring.
Fei Yuan and Si Ye’s father Fei Li is a biological brother. To be honest, this baby might actually have his blood.
Sang Luo was speechless at the thought that flashed through her mind. She blinked, "Is your calculation so accurate?"
"Well, you have to trust my judgment. This little guy can't wait to come out."
After hearing what Fei Yuan said, Sang Luo felt a lot more relieved. She didn't have to worry about giving birth suddenly in the next two days. She closed her eyes and planned to have a good sleep for two days, saving all her strength for the night after tomorrow.
Fei Yuan stood up and replaced the burnt incense stick with another one.
A guard outside the door reported something. He glanced at Sang Luo who was half asleep on the bed, and tiptoed out the door.
Sang Luo hadn't fallen asleep yet. After waiting for a while, Fei Yuan came back with a rather ugly look on his face.
"What happened?" she turned to ask him.
Fei Yuan looked at her and opened his thin lips slightly, "These trivial matters of government affairs have nothing to do with you. Just focus on taking care of your baby."
"I heard you guys talking about the East and mentioned Si Ye's name? Is there any news about him?"
"...I really can't hide it from you." Fei Yuan sighed, "You are about to give birth, and I was afraid that you would feel burdened, so I didn't want to tell you."
"What happened?" Sang Luo wanted to get up, and Fei Yuan hurried over to support her, letting her upper body lean against the headboard and placing two soft pillows behind her waist. Sang Luo grabbed his arm and said worriedly, "If you don't tell me, I'll be even more worried."
"He's in the east now, and his situation... isn't very good. I sent someone to bring him back, but he refused to come back." Fei Yuan said in a deep voice, "How did this kid end up in the eastern Flame Plateau? There's nothing there except volcanic lava and the Gobi Desert. It's very barren, and almost no one lives there. I can't figure out why he'd end up in that shabby place."
"The situation is not good? I just heard you talking about the thunder. Could it be Si Ye..." Sang Luo had a vague guess in his heart.
Seeing he could no longer hide the truth, Fei Yuan confessed, "Xiao Ye has the bloodline of two beasts and is extremely talented. He was on the verge of breaking through to the Emperor level last year. His mother was afraid that the Si family would be extinct, so she made him suppress his cultivation."
"I see you don't have his soul mark on you. I think after he removed the soul mark, his realm fell, and he recovered in the past six months. He couldn't suppress it anymore, and in such a harsh environment in the east, he encountered the tribulation thunder. Unfortunately... he failed to break through."
Fei Yuan sighed regretfully, "This little nephew of mine is so useful when I use him. Whenever he leads his troops into battle, he wins every battle. He has helped me recover many difficult lost territories. He has never lost a battle since he was a child and is very proud of it."
"This failure to break through must have been a significant blow to him. I'm afraid he'll never recover."
"Why did he fail?" Sang Luo's heart ached, because Si Ye was obviously so talented.
Seeing Fei Yuan's hesitation in speaking, it seemed that there was something else going on.
"I underestimated his feelings for you," Fei Yuan said. "He developed a demon in his heart and became obsessed, which is why he failed to break through."
Sang Luo was stunned, "Inner demon?"
"Well, this inner demon is quite deadly. If it is not eliminated, he will never be able to enter the imperial level in this lifetime. He may even lose control and become possessed by the devil."
"..." Sang Luo's throat choked with sobs, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. "How can I save him?"
Fei Yuan touched her face and said in a deep voice, "The simplest way is to kill the person who caused his inner demon and directly eliminate the root cause of the evil."
“…”
Seeing her pale face, Fei Yuan suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, there is another more humane way, which is to resolve his inner demons."
He said, "But the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. I have no idea how to untie this inner demon."
"It's because of me. I am his inner demon. I will go find him." Sang Luo wanted to get out of bed, but Fei Yuan carried her back to bed.
"Why rush? He won't die for now." Fei Yuan looked at her belly. "These are the last few days. Right now, nothing can worry you more than your belly. Just focus on giving birth to the baby first."
Someone came to look for him outside the door again. Fei Yuan looked at Sang Luo anxiously, set up layers of formation barriers, and said before leaving,
"Good boy, I'll be back soon, don't run around."
Half an incense stick later, Fei Yuan came back, but found the bed empty and the person was gone.
“…”
You are so disobedient.
