After half a night of tossing and turning, the sky was faintly turning pale, and the Du family gradually calmed down.

Zhao Zhi reluctantly fell asleep. Granny Li had been guarding her daughter's bed, and she didn't pay attention to Yu Yi for a while. She didn't know when the girl left.

But in fact, Yu Yi was standing beside her, half leaning over, pinching a strand of spiritual power with great caution, and looking at Zhao Zhi's belly again.

The child in Zhao Zhi's belly was developing very well, better than the average fetus. In just three months, it had fully developed a human body, with slender limbs growing from its body, and its eyebrows, eyes, and facial features were clearly visible. It was indeed a boy.

But its body was well developed, but its soul was not complete, with only one soul and two spirits. It was Du Ruo's missing soul.

Yu Yi retreated from the bed to Xue Chenjing's side, wondering, "Does this mean that when Zhao Zhi's pregnancy reaches full term, Du Ruo's soul will be extracted and turned into a male fetus again, and then Zhao Zhi will give birth to it?"

Xue Chenjing nodded, "I think so."

Before transmigrating into the book, Yu Yi had also seen some news that some parents tried all kinds of methods to have a male baby, and some pregnant women would take some "transformation pills" and other three-no drugs during pregnancy to change the sex of the fetus, but in the end, the child was born deformed.

I didn't expect that now that I have come to such a fantasy world, I would encounter similar things.

But this one is obviously even more excessive. Du Ruo has already been born, and she has grown to the age of six, but she is still being stripped of her identity as a girl. She has to be torn apart and re-entered into her mother's womb to be born as a boy.

A six-year-old child naturally would not voluntarily go back to the mother's womb, change her gender, and start over. It can only be her relatives who force her to do so.

Then, will the boy born in this way still be her? Can such a magic that goes against the will of heaven and reverses human ethics really produce a good result in the end?

Xue Chenjing felt the uncontrollable anger of the people around him. He lowered his eyes and stared at Yu Yi's profile. She was in a bad mood now, and there was a trace of anger and sadness between her brows.

The system said that she lived in a bright world, so she should rarely see such unfair and hateful things. He suddenly understood why her heart was full of holes. It was just like glass. Glass was pure and clean, so transparent that it could not contain any darkness, so it was fragile.

She sympathized with ordinary people, felt sorry for a little girl who had nothing to do with her, and was angry because of the injustice suffered by others. She and Xue Mingyuan were the same kind of people. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

No wonder they were attracted to each other.

But Xue Chenjing was not like that. He had seen many such unfair things, and he lived in such a hateful abyss. So he couldn't empathize with her now. He didn't have the slightest sympathy for the little girl whose soul was torn apart, nor did he have the slightest resentment towards the mastermind behind all this.

In his eyes, this was just a commonplace drama. Even at this moment, deep in his heart, he couldn't help but feel some secret schadenfreude because of seeing the misfortunes of others.

If she noticed, Yu Yi would hate him again.

Xue Chenjing tried hard to restrain the pleasure in his heart that came from the pain of others. He took a step closer to Yu Yi quietly, with half of his chest almost pressed against her back.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Ayi, as long as you ask, I can find a way to extract these two souls and return them to the little girl's body."

If it would please her, he was willing to take part in this drama.

Yu Yi shrank because of his breath that was too close, and stepped aside. She frowned and looked at Zhao Zhi who was sleeping on the bed, and then glanced at Granny Li who was holding her daughter's hand and crawling on the edge of the bed.

She thought for a long time and shook her head.

Xue Chenjing blinked in surprise, "You don't want to help her?"

Yu Yi calmed down and said, "We don't understand anything yet. If we intervene rashly, it may make things worse."

What's the point of just extracting the soul and returning it? If this family really wanted a boy in such an extreme way, even if they stopped this time, they would do it next time and seek other methods.

Yu Yi remembered the scrutinizing and vigilant look in Zhao Zhi's mother-in-law's eyes when she first saw her. She looked around and turned to leave the main house.

The Du family had a torrent of trouble tonight. Zhao Zhi finally settled down and Du Ruo stopped crying. Zhao Zhi's husband Du Qian came to the house to see Zhao Zhi, and then returned to the side room to rest with his daughter.

The two elders of the Du family had also returned to their own yard next door, but there was still a light in their house, and the two had not slept yet. Yu Yi came to the wall between the two houses, tiptoed, and jumped over the wall, her figure as light as a camellia flying in the wind.

The undulating skirt was reflected in the deep eyes behind her. Xue Chenjing's pupils trembled slightly, and a strong impulse suddenly surged in his heart. He couldn't help wanting to knock the flower into the dust, watching its white petals covered with mud and dirty.

I don't know what kind of expression she should look at him with in that situation.

Xue Chenjing's breathing became heavier, and the fingers in his sleeves curled up.

Yu Yi felt the uncomfortable and aggressive gaze behind her. When she fell, she tiptoed and stepped on the support built in the vegetable garden under the wall. She turned sideways and looked back vigilantly.

At the same time, the system that had been silent for a long time suddenly stood up and shouted: "Host, please restrain your dangerous impulses..."

Xue Chenjing immediately raised his eyes to meet Yu Yi's gaze, tore the picture in his mind into pieces, and turned his eyes to her with an innocent smile. Trying to comfort yourself in your heart, not now, not now, not now, I haven't seen enough of her beautiful face, now is not the time.

Yu Yi retracted his gaze and landed lightly on the ground from the vegetable rack.

The system voice stopped halfway through the warning. It suddenly felt that it was good that Xue Chenjing tried so hard to pretend to be Xue Mingyuan. At least on the surface, he looked normal.

Its host finally learned how to restrain his impulses and desires. Although his ideas were still a bit dangerous, it was better to slow down for a while. Compared with the beginning, the host had changed.

Now, without its urging, the host has already begun to try hard to find a way to please the heroine, which is a good sign.

The task tree inside the system suddenly lit up, and a branch was derived.

[Ding——Temporary strategy task is now triggered. Looking at the countless infatuated men and resentful women in sadomasochistic love, it is all because they cannot achieve effective communication with each other.

This sweet story system refuses "silent", "hypocritical", and "inconsistent" sadomasochism. From now on, the truth mode will be turned on for the host, and love must be said out loud! ]

Xue Chenjing's action of climbing over the wall was stagnant, and he almost fell off the wall. He staggered when he landed, and it was Yu Yi who reached back to support him.

The moment she heard the system task, Yu Yi subconsciously turned her head and just happened to take the staggering Xue Chenjing into her arms.

Truth mode, is that what she thought it meant? Can only tell her the truth? This temporary task sounded very good.

Yu Yi's eyelashes trembled slightly, with a glimmer of interest in her pupils. She said nonchalantly: "Be careful, don't make any sound."

"Yeah, sorry." Xue Chenjing quickly withdrew from her arms, distanced himself from her, apologized in a low voice, and immediately closed his mouth, for fear that he would reveal his thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth. He even wanted to cast a silencing spell on himself on the spot.

Xue Chenjing did not notice Yu Yi's strange look as if he was enjoying a good show. His entire attention was on this sudden temporary task. He said unhappily, "What does truth mode mean? Explain!"

The system explained obediently, "Master, that is to say, while truth mode is activated, you cannot lie to the heroine. If you say one thing and mean another, the system will force you to correct the lie into your true thoughts."

Xue Chenjing became visibly panicked and shouted angrily, "No! No! Turn it off for me!"

How could he say out loud those thoughts in his mind, those dirty and filthy thoughts, how could he let her hear them? She would immediately find out that he was not Xue Mingyuan's, and she would hate him even more!

System: "Sorry, Master, temporary missions are triggered randomly, and the system does not have the authority to shut down."

Yu Yi silently glanced at Xue Chenjing, pretending not to notice his abnormality, and walked to the house where the two elders of the Du family lived first, standing in front of the window, and listening to the whispers inside.

Xue Chenjing deliberately lagged behind Yu Yi by a few steps, standing in the middle of the yard, his hands clenched, and a faint magic breath flowed out from his sleeves, causing his robe sleeves to flutter.

He laughed angrily, "What's the use of you? You are a worthless waste, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Haha, you tied me up and can't untie me, right? Well, if I grind myself to ashes, you can go and issue tasks for my ashes, or you can wait for my reincarnation, wait for me to be born again in the next life..."

The system was frightened by him and said quickly, "Host, calm down and don't get excited. It's not that you have to expose all your thoughts. This temporary task has a limited condition - 'Love must be said out loud', so you will only reveal your love for the heroine in your heart!"

Xue Chenjing's sleeves dropped suddenly, and the manic aura around him instantly subsided. He calmed down, looked at the person leaning against the window with his dark eyes, and sneered in his heart.

Love? How could he have it?

Since there is nothing, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Yu Yi did not notice Xue Chenjing's movements, her attention was attracted by the conversation between the two people in the room.

There was the sound of water in the room, Du's mother was washing Du's father's feet, and the two were chatting in low voices.

Du's mother, who was also Zhao Zhi's mother-in-law, said, "Old man, I think something is really wrong with my daughter-in-law. If she continues like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to give us a grandson."

The water in the basin swayed as Du's father stepped on it. "Didn't you say that the Moon Goddess appeared in your dream and answered your wish? What's going on now? Your family is in a mess."

"Yes, I had that dream at that time, and I went to the temple the next day. The Taoist priest in the temple also said that the Moon Goddess chose my scepter." Du's mother said firmly, "The grandson given to Mrs. Tang in the west was the result of the Moon Goddess' prayers."

No one spoke for a while. Du's mother wiped Du's father's feet, got up, opened the door, and splashed the water into the vegetable garden under the wall.

After returning, she seemed to hesitate for a long time before saying, "Is it because our Ruoruo is too stubborn and doesn't want to go back? Otherwise, I will go and beg the Moon Goddess again, and let it go. I watched Ruoruo grow up, and she cried every night and made me..."

Father Du slapped the bed with a slap, making a muffled sound, interrupting Mother Du's voice.

"You want to make my Du family extinct, right? If the Taoist priest hadn't calculated that Zhao Zhi couldn't give birth to a son, why would we have to use this method?" Father Du said angrily, "Now it's too late for you to regret. You must go to the Moon Goddess Temple to pray tomorrow and give birth to my grandson."

Mother Du was frightened by his power and could only nod repeatedly.

When the two of them lay down on the bed, Father Du sighed again and said in a gentle tone: "When the child is born, it will still be Ruoruo. We will still love her the same. We just changed her body. In this way, someone will take over my and her father's skills. Otherwise, what's the use of a girl."

The conversations in the room gradually stopped, and Yu Yi walked out from under the eaves. Xue Chenjing had returned to himself and put on Xue Mingyuan's gentle mask again. He walked towards her and asked, "What did you hear?"

Yu Yi's face was not very good, "This is the method they asked for from the Moon God Temple."

I just don't know, in addition to the two elders of the Du family, whether Du Qian and Zhao Zhi also know the inside story and agree with this method.

Xue Chenjing didn't care about the Du family's trivial matters at all. He looked at Yu Yi's expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her attention was focused on the little girl's loss of consciousness and she didn't notice his abnormality.

But thinking about it, he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but open his mouth and ask: "In your heart, is anything else more important than me?"
