As soon as Xuanfeng finished speaking, Wanxia's extremely shrill scream came from the dry well.
Although she was mentally prepared for this.
But when she heard the sound of a beast chewing meat along with Wanxia's screams, she was still quite frightened by Fuchen's insane behavior.
In a daze, Xuan Fengqian couldn't even feel the warmth of the sunlight shining on his face; he only felt that everything around him had become unusually pale.
Even the dappled shadows of the trees overhead resembled ethereal and eerie ghosts, weeping softly in the cold wind, desperately tearing apart the vast, clear sky that stretched to the horizon.
"Scared?"
Fu Chen noticed Xuan Fengqian's increasingly rapid breathing and became even more excited.
"In this world, there is probably no one more cruel than you." Xuan Feng's voice trembled slightly as he took several steps back, carefully avoiding the blood that splattered like water from the dry well.
Thump—
Just as she was thinking of getting away from the eerie dry well, she bumped into something cold and sharp on the back of her neck.
Turning her head, she saw Lanling Xingjun's bald, blood-stained head staring blankly at her face.
"ah!"
Xuan Fengqian's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the terrifying head that had somehow bent the branches of a tree and was swaying precariously in the wind.
Upon hearing Xuan Fengqian's exclamation, Fu Chen chuckled sinisterly, "Princess, are you satisfied with this surprise?"
Xuan Fengqian felt a chill run down her spine as Lanling Xingjun stared at her with eyes the size of copper bells. She suddenly turned around and coldly questioned Fu Chen, who had completely gone mad, "How could you become so cruel? You weren't like this before!"
Although she had lost nearly a hundred years of her memories, she never forgot the harmonious scene when she first met him and he patiently bandaged the wounds of the injured jade rabbit.
"I used to be nothing but a good-for-nothing fool, what's there to miss?"
When Fu Chen mentioned his past, he appeared extremely angry.
He stretched his neck and clung to the well wall like a snake, roaring hysterically.
"It's better than you being so inhuman now."
Xuan Fengqian realized that Fu Chen had become hopelessly obsessed, so he coldly left a sentence and refused to chat with him any further.
She had originally intended to walk around the bald, blood-red head behind her, but after thinking it over, she finally mustered up her courage and gently placed her hands on Lanling Xingjun's wide, bulging eyes, intending to close them for him.
Unexpectedly, the moment Xuan Fengqian's hand touched Lanling Xingjun's cold skin, two fishing lines suddenly shot out from his bulging eyes, wrapped around her arm with a "whoosh," and dragged her down into the dry well behind him, which was still gushing blood.
"Oh..."
Fu Chen glanced at Xuan Fengqian, who was standing close at hand, and revealed a sinister and eerie smile. "Princess, how have you been?"
"what you up to?"
Xuanfeng Qian leaned against the well wall, looking warily at Fuchen, who was covered in mud and had blood around his mouth. He was extremely nervous.
"Why is the princess so nervous?"
As Fu Chen spoke, he placed his withered hands on Xuan Fengqian's stomach.
Even more chilling was that his long, sharp fingernails had already pierced her stomach, as if he were about to disembowel her.
Xuan Fengqian realized that Fu Chen's purpose was the child in her womb, and the fear in her heart was instantly replaced by a burst of anger.
She forcefully pried off the withered, skeletal hand that was pressing against her stomach, gritting her teeth as she said, "If you dare touch me again, I don't mind dying with you."
"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? I saw with my own eyes how you practically threw yourself at Leng Ye. To be honest, your slutty, shameless manner was utterly despicable. Just thinking about how you were being played by him, drunk and wanton, makes me feel nauseous."
The dust gripped her jaw tightly, roughly prying open her pearly teeth and forcibly entwining with her delicate tongue.
With his free hand, he brazenly tore off her robe, tracing the graceful curves beneath her thin bodice with great interest.
"Bastard, let me go!"
Xuan Fengqian vomited repeatedly from the stench of blood in his mouth, but she couldn't push him away no matter what she did.
"If Leng Ye can touch me, why can't I?" Fu Chen suddenly became angry and desperately resisted her legs with his knees.
Xuan Fengqian knew all too well that with her current cultivation level, she was no match for Fu Chen. Even if she risked her life, she couldn't protect herself, let alone the innocent and vulnerable child in her womb.
With no other options, she could only stare longingly at the faint light shining down from above the well, hoping that Leng Ye would return soon.
But no matter how long they waited, no reinforcements came.
Her heart, too, grew completely cold with the increasingly scorching kiss from Fu Chen.
"Princess, why pretend to be so heartbroken? I know very well how lewd you are. If I were the one who got pregnant that night, you would have thrown yourself at me just like you threw yourself at Leng Ye, wouldn't you?"
Seeing that Xuan Fengqian was gagging from time to time, Fu Chen immediately lost his interest in forcibly kissing her.
However, he had no intention of letting her off so easily.
Firstly, Fu Chen, having been corrupted by the evil energy in the ghost's eyes, had also developed a greedy and lustful nature. Therefore, he could not possibly let go of such a golden opportunity.
Furthermore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to severely punish Leng Ye, so that Leng Ye could personally experience the feeling of his beloved being humiliated by others.
With this thought in mind, Fu Chen became even more excited and rudely ripped off the ties on Xuanfeng's light-colored bodice.
But when he saw the mottled hickeys on her body, he suddenly raised his arm to slap her, "You shameless thing! Today, I'll teach you a lesson."
"You're not qualified to lecture me."
With the determination to perish together with Fu Chen, Xuan Fengqian glared fiercely at the terrifying man before her, who was as bloodthirsty as a demon. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, she swiftly swung her nine-section demon whip and struck him squarely on the straight bridge of his nose.
"hiss--"
Fu Chen gasped in pain, clutching his cheeks, which were ripped open by the Nine-Section Demon Whip. Suddenly, he raised his foot and kicked Xuan Fengqian hard in the stomach. "Can't you just behave? You have to provoke me before you'll stop?"
Seeing this, Xuan Fengqian frantically covered her still-unprecedented belly with one hand, while unconsciously unleashing a powerful palm strike while blocking Fu Chen's increasingly fierce attacks with the other.
boom--
Suddenly, a powerful palm wind, gleaming with a deathly white light, accompanied by a thunderous roar that could shake the heavens and the earth, shot out from Xuanfeng Qian's palm and then struck Fuchen's chest with extremely fast speed.
Fu Chen originally thought that, given his precautions, Xuan Fengqian's mediocre skills would be absolutely incapable of harming him.
Unexpectedly, he was severely injured by her seemingly casual slap, his heart meridian was severed and his internal organs were shattered!
How can you possess such immense power?
Fu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously took several steps back.
Xuanfeng Qian also seemed very confused by this.
In fact, at that moment, all she could think about was doing everything she could to protect the baby in her womb.
But somehow, the mysterious power that had been sealed in her dantian for years seemed to sense her call and broke through the restraints like a flood, giving her extremely powerful strength in an instant.
Xuan Fengqian didn't have time to think about why she had such amazing power hidden in her body. She decisively swung her palm again and slammed it towards Fu Chen's crown.
At the same moment, Leng Ye, realizing that he had been tricked into leaving the mountain, broke through several layers of barriers in Qingfeng Palace, jumped into the dry well, and swung his sword several times at Fu Chen's terrifying, grinning face.
"This time, you're lucky!"
Sensing the danger, Fuchen vanished in the blink of an eye, turning into a wisp of black smoke and fleeing in panic.
Holding the nine-section demon whip, Xuan Fengqian looked around warily and said with certainty, "He must still be in the well! Right now, the Immortal Realm is heavily guarded. As soon as he leaves this dark and dry well, his whereabouts will be exposed immediately."
At this moment, Leng Ye had no time to care about anything else. He was only gazing deeply at Xuan Fengqian, whose clothes were disheveled and whose body was covered in bruises. His eyes were filled with undisguised heartache.
"Ah Qian, I'm late."
He deftly removed his robe and gently draped it over her body, then wiped away the crimson bloodstains on her cheeks with a touch as gentle as an April breeze.
Xuan Fengqian, whose face was grim, finally relaxed her guard under Leng Ye's gentle and tender eyes. At this moment, she felt her limbs go weak and she couldn't muster any strength. She just nestled listlessly in Leng Ye's arms and mumbled, "It's all my fault for being so useless."
"It is because I failed to protect you."
Leng Ye appeared extremely remorseful.
He held Xuan Fengqian tightly in his arms, her body trembling slightly, as if afraid she would disappear in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, Qi Yuan led the White Emperor, Laozi, and others into Qingfeng Palace in a great hurry.
"My little one, are you hurt?"
Before Bai Di could catch his breath, he poked his head into the well, anxiously watching Xuan Fengqian, who looked extremely weak as he leaned against Leng Ye's arms.
"It's alright." Xuan Fengqian shook his head, forced himself to stay alert, and said solemnly, "Fuchen must still be hiding in this dry well. This time, we can't let him escape again."
She had originally intended to personally pull out the severely injured Fu Chen, but what terrified her was that she seemed to have miscarried, and bright red blood was now streaming down her thighs.
"What should I do? I think I'm having trouble with my baby."
Xuan Fengqian gripped Leng Ye's arm tightly with both hands, her expression becoming even more unpleasant.
Leng Ye also noticed the increasingly strong smell of blood on her body, and dared not delay any longer, so he quickly carried her out of the dry well.
Yuan Heng saw that Xuan Fengqian's skirt was soaked with blood and turned pale with fright. "My dear! My dear, you must hold on."
"Mother, don't worry. Leave a way for the Demon Lord. Let him take Qianqian back to the house first." Mu Fuqu comforted Yuan Heng while ordering the Immortal Physician to follow Leng Ye.
Following closely beside Mu Fuqu, Qingwu suddenly revealed a sinister smile. She thought to herself, with Fuchen's cruel methods, Xuan Fengqian's child was surely doomed.
To Qingwu's great disappointment, the immortal doctor said that Xuanfeng Qian had only had a slight miscarriage and would recover quickly after taking a few doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
Damn it!
She cursed under her breath indignantly, and the smile on her face vanished without a trace in an instant.
The next moment, overwhelmed by the immense sense of loss, she involuntarily clenched her fist and swung it at the white jade pillar beside her.
Hearing the dull thud behind her, Mu Fuqu subconsciously turned around and glanced back, just in time to see Qingwu with bloodshot eyes, angrily punching the stone pillar.
Looking at her blood-stained hands, Mu Fuqu asked in bewilderment, "Qingwu, what happened to you?"
"nothing."
Qingwu never expected to fail like this in front of so many people. She quickly suppressed the hatred in her eyes and answered softly.
Mu Fuqu had a feeling that Qingwu harbored a deep-seated hatred, so she asked again, "Are you really alright?"
"Um."
Qingwu nodded heavily, her eyes already misting over as she looked up. "Madam, to be honest, I am indeed angry. Princess Xiantian is such a good person, she shouldn't be treated like this. That fallen demon is truly a scoundrel! If I ever capture that inhuman creature, I will grind him to dust."
"..."
Looking at Qingwu, whose face was streaked with tears, Mu Fuqu felt that her words were very insincere.
—
Qingfeng Hall, Inner Chamber
Xuanfeng lay flat on the bed in a proper and orderly manner.
Under Leng Ye's concerned gaze, she nervously held her breath, not daring to move at all.
After a short while, Leng Ye spoke again, anxiously asking the immortal physician who was taking Xuan Fengqian's pulse, "How is he?"
The physician broke out in a cold sweat and said helplessly, "I have said it no less than a hundred times, the princess has only had a slight miscarriage. She will recover quickly after taking a few doses of medicine to prevent miscarriage."
Is this really true?
Despite the celestial physician's repeated assurances that Xuan Fengqian would be alright, Leng Ye still felt very uncertain.
"You brat, can't you let my precious daughter rest for a while?"
Bai Di looked speechlessly at Leng Ye, who had been pestering the Immortal Doctor for nearly half an hour, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. He gave Leng Ye a hard knock on the back of the head.
Ignoring Leng Ye's words, she instead grasped Xuan Feng's small, icy hand and asked softly, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Even after receiving Xuan Fengqian's reply, Leng Ye was still very uneasy. "Really, it doesn't hurt?"
"..."
Xuan Fengqian had never seen Leng Ye so noisy before, and for a moment she was both amused and exasperated.
She grasped Leng Ye's large hand in return, subtly changing the subject, "Fu Chen must still be hiding in the dry well. We must not let him go back to the mountains. Go and see how we can capture him."
What he didn't know was that Leng Ye was terrified and dared not leave her side for even a moment.
After pondering for a moment, Leng Ye saw that Xuan Fengqian was still waiting for his reply, so he could only absentmindedly say to Bai Di, "Xuan Xiao, go and handle this matter."
"You brat, how dare you call me by my name so casually? I am your father-in-law!"
