Chapter 1258: Chapter 318: Gave Birth to a Monster

Lan Chuchu watched as blood flowed from between her legs, more and more, filling her heart with both shock and fear.

She couldn’t lose this child. She and Xi Jiuye had worked too hard to reach this stage, and Xi Jiuye was willing to hand over the Divine Elixir, which showed how much he valued this child.

He could finally let go of that wench Ye Lingyue.

She was on the verge of becoming the Divine Queen.

She would no longer have to bear the stigma of an illegitimate daughter, becoming the revered mistress of the ghosts in the Northern Realm.

At this time, how could she let all her efforts fail?

This child must be saved.

Lan Chuchu called out a few times, but the maid was nowhere to be found.

At this moment, she felt a strong convulsion in her abdomen, as if something was about to slide out of her body.

"No, child, you must hold on. Mother needs you."

Lan Chuchu clutched her belly, trying to stand up with effort.

Her belly was only just over four months, and if the child were to be born now, it couldn’t survive.

She had to find someone, no matter what means, to save the child.

But the sound from her lower abdomen grew louder.

Lan Chuchu felt as if something was about to crawl out of her stomach.

She even felt a series of heartbeats.

Could it be that her child was already alive?

How could this be?

At just over four months, Lan Chuchu stared in horror at her lower abdomen.

Blood had flowed all over the ground, staining the snow blood-red, while sweat continuously dripped from Lan Chuchu’s forehead. She endured the intense pain and watched as something struggled to crawl out of her abdomen.

It seemed she saw something resembling an infant’s head.

But soon after, Lan Chuchu felt a constriction in her throat, eyes widening in terror.

What crawled out from her abdomen wasn’t a baby, but a monster.

It had human-like limbs, but it wasn’t human. Its entire body was covered in scales, resembling a pangolin.

Its body was also much larger than that of an ordinary infant.

She had given birth to a monster!

The thought flashed through Lan Chuchu’s mind, and she felt darkness envelop her vision, leading her to pass out.

It was a full fifteen minutes later that Lan Chuchu came to.

She slowly opened her eyes, recalling the scene before she fainted, gasping for air.

Struggling to get up, she unexpectedly felt something heavy on her body, her chest itchy and painful. She looked down.

Only to find herself screaming.

Because of taking Xi Jiuye’s Divine Elixir earlier, bleeding from her abdomen had already stopped.

But now, her clothes were disheveled, her upper body exposed, and a monster lay on her chest, sucking milk.

That monster was the "infant" Lan Chuchu had given birth to earlier.

Lan Chuchu used all her strength to fling the monster away.

"Divine Consort, what happened?"

Hearing the noise, the maid who rushed into Plum Garden witnessed the scene.

The Divine Consort looked pale, drained of all color, blood trailing from her lower body, her upper body exposed, milk flowing from her chest.

Not far away, on the ground, an undefined monster let out a baby’s crying sound.

"Mons...Monster." The maid was terrified.

She turned to run for help, but then felt a sharp pain in her scalp, her hair caught by something.

As the maid turned back, she saw Lan Chuchu’s twisted face, holding a hairpin.

"Divine Consort..."

Before the maid could call for help, Lan Chuchu fiercely plunged the hairpin into the back of her head.

"Die, just die, for seeing what you shouldn’t have."

Lan Chuchu knew that if the maid ran out and told others what she saw, it would be the end of her. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Everyone in the Divine Palace would know that Lan Chuchu had given birth to a monster.

What would those people think of her? She couldn’t allow a third person to know about this.

Lan Chuchu, in a fit of viciousness, stabbed wildly, blood spraying like rain on her face.

Until she was exhausted, dropping to the ground.

The monster, earlier thrown aside by Lan Chuchu, cowered and crawled back, spreading its claws, wanting to cling to Lan Chuchu.

"Get away!"

Lan Chuchu jabbed the hairpin into the monster’s heart, her eyes red with rage, plunging the hairpin into the monster’s heart.

She loathed this ugly thing before her. How could she and Xi Jiuye, both possessing Heavenly Person’s Appearance, have given birth to such a monster?

Lan Chuchu had no way of knowing that she birthed this monster due to her own wrongdoings.

Having been married to Xi Jiuye for years without offspring, she grew anxious, seeking various Elixir Pills to conceive a Divine Son early.

Those Elixir Pills, consumed in excess, were harmful to the body.

She had previously transplanted several Heavenly Gang Bamboo into her bedroom, not knowing that these Heavenly Gang Bamboo had been specially treated by Ye Lingyue. They had been planted in the Earth Evil Prison for a period, absorbing a significant amount of Earth Evil Energy. Moreover, Ye Lingyue had also infused a trace of black Cauldron Breath into the Heavenly Gang Bamboo.

Thus, the Heavenly Gang Bamboo in Lan Chuchu’s room had become an object of utmost yin.

This utmost yin was something the Divine Race most feared.

Ye Lingyue’s intent was to take revenge for Lan Chuchu sending Hunyuan Ancestor to hunt her down. Who would have thought Lan Chuchu would regard those Heavenly Gang Bamboo as treasures, displaying them in her room?

After Lan Chuchu became pregnant, she faced them night after night. Unbeknownst to her, the fetus in her womb had been infiltrated by Evil Qi, gradually becoming a Divine Demon Fetus.

This Divine Demon Fetus was possessed of an astonishing life force, so it had formed merely within four months.

The creature in Lan Chuchu’s belly, besides being able to be recognized at a glance by Medicine Buddha Yun Sheng, was beyond the discernment of other alchemists in the Divine Realm.

This early childbirth by Lan Chuchu led to the premature birth of the Divine Demon Fetus.

With a cry of anguish upon being stabbed in the heart by Lan Chuchu’s hairpin, the Divine Demon Fetus looked at her with beastly eyes, tears rolling down continuously. It couldn’t comprehend why its mother was intent on taking its life, its claws gradually pulling out the hairpin.

Lan Chuchu’s heart was filled with hatred and sadness as she stared into those eyes.

But when she saw the monster, which had its heart pierced and still miraculously hadn’t died, especially as its wound healed quickly...

Lan Chuchu was taken aback.

The monster made a piercing cry, murmuring "Mother" from its mouth.

It stumbled toward Lan Chuchu, wanting to embrace her.

Lan Chuchu looked at the monster with disgust. It continued to cry, its beast eyes filled with a plea and closeness.

"Why... haven’t you died?"

As Lan Chuchu saw the fully healed wound, then looked at the maid lying in a pool of blood, she suddenly realized something.

Though the monster was ugly, it seemed to possess strong Divine Power.

Lan Chuchu’s eyes deepened, considering that perhaps the monster might still be useful.
