Chapter 149: Origin of Life 3
Looking at this series of actions, Ye Shang had to admit that the guard was really lucky. If the prince had known that he hadn't killed the baby, he probably wouldn't have survived.
Even this demon won't survive; the Prince's mansion's pursuit is no joke.
Even a powerful demon couldn't withstand the wrath of the royal palace.
The woman in red is a great demon who has cultivated for five thousand years.
Her home wasn't at the bottom of the lake, but on a mountainside far from the city. She had come to the city today solely to buy some things.
Sigh, life is tough these days. Even great demons have to follow the rules of human emperors.
She didn't have any spirit stones to buy things, so she came to the lake to try her luck. She had heard that many wealthy people came to this lake to throw spirit stones and make wishes.
Regardless of cultivation level, human desires are endless. Even those in high positions of power and with unparalleled strength still desire something.
Isn't Prince Duan a perfect example?
Hongxin held an umbrella in one hand and a baby in the other. For a moment, she regretted taking on a troublesome child, who might have to take care of her needs in the future.
Thinking this through, she suddenly realized that this was a hot potato.
Just as she was about to throw the baby to the ground and leave, a faint red light appeared inside the baby's body, with emerald green mixed in with the red light.
A jade pendant appeared on the baby's belly.
Hongxin spotted it immediately, but there was only the character "殇" on it, nothing else.
After thinking about it, she didn't throw the baby away; instead, she took it with her.
When you reach the foot of the mountain where she cultivates, there is a village. Most of the villagers are ordinary people, and there are very few cultivators.
They have made a living by farming for generations.
After observing for several days, Hongxin finally chose a family that seemed nice to her. This family consisted of only a husband and wife.
She was probably in her early thirties, had no children, and looked quite old from years of hard work.
She had inquired and learned that in the mortal realm, if someone was over thirty and still didn't have children, it was considered a sign of health problems, and they probably wouldn't have children in their lifetime.
Look at this couple, although their clothes are worn out, they are not patched, so they seem to be living a relatively comfortable life.
As for why they don't raise the orphans in the city, they probably thought about it too. There are always plenty of orphans, it's not that they don't want to raise them.
Instead, they felt that the children were all of a certain age, and even if they were raised, they would still have their own thoughts, which they couldn't change.
There are relatively few infant orphans, and many who are abandoned do not live long.
Hongxin placed the child at the couple's door and even wrote a crooked, ordinary-looking character on it.
She had just learned to write; what kind of monster needs to write? She even learned to write using charred twigs, and the paper cost her a small low-grade spirit stone—she bought quite a few.
There's no other way; this is the lowest price available.
She placed it in the baby's swaddling clothes.
She stood not far away, holding an umbrella, secretly observing the couple's reaction.
The woman, dressed in coarse cloth and carrying a basket on her back, was about to go out when she saw the baby at the door. She was stunned for a moment, then looked outside and saw that the baby's cheeks were a little red.
When I picked her up this time, I saw words in the swaddling clothes. "Honey, come and see what these words are."
The male homeowner came out, looked at the item for a long time, and then read aloud: "I can't afford to keep it, so I'm giving it to you to keep."
After reading it aloud, he said to his wife, "They gave birth to a child and couldn't afford to raise it, so they abandoned it and brought it to our house."
The woman felt a pang of heartache and gently rocked the baby, saying, "Oh dear! What a tragedy!"
