#146 - Shen Shengsheng (4000 words, two in one) - Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

Lava Heart Cave.

Zhao Qiongman waited for her husband to return.

In these days, Zhao Qiongman was in a state of anxiety every day.

Zhao Qiongman often dreamed that her husband died outside and would never come back.

Moreover, this kind of dream was not just once or twice, but many times. Every time she had this kind of dream, the ominous premonition in Zhao Qiongman's heart became stronger and stronger.

As time passed, Zhao Qiongman's belly grew bigger and bigger.

Although Qi Hui, the leader of the Black God Sect branch, would send some spiritual fruits and flesh of magical beasts every day to nourish Zhao Qiongman's body, he did not ask Zhao Qiongman to maintain the magic circle.

Qi Hui even prepared a personal maid for Zhao Qiongman to take care of her daily life.

This Qi Hui seemed like a nice person, and seemed to have some conscience.

However, Zhao Qiongman definitely did not think that Qi Hui had discovered his conscience.

Zhao Qiongman always hated Qi Hui, and did not change her opinion of Qi Hui in the slightest because of her current treatment.

Zhao Qiongman knew that Qi Hui was good to her entirely because the child in her belly was of great value to him.

Qi Hui wanted to see what would happen when her child was born.

Whenever she thought of this, Zhao Qiongman's mood became particularly complicated.

She didn't know what her child would face after being born.

Her child might face endless torture, and might even be cultivated into a demon who kills people like flies.

In any case, her child's future path would definitely be very difficult, and might even harm the world.

But Zhao Qiongman couldn't bear to let the child in her belly disappear.

This was her and Shen Sheng's only flesh and blood.

After a cultivator enters the Cave Mansion Realm, it is already very difficult to have children.

This is my only child, and possibly the last child...

As time passed day by day, Zhao Qiongman's belly grew bigger and bigger.

Zhao Qiongman hesitated and struggled every day because of the child in her belly.

One day, Zhao Qiongman made up her mind. She didn't want her child to suffer all kinds of pain in the future, and she didn't want her child to be cultivated into a demon who kills people like flies.

So, in the room, Zhao Qiongman set up a magic circle for herself. This magic circle could allow the child in her belly to leave very quietly, without any pain.

Zhao Qiongman would not let her child leave alone, she would accompany the child together.

If her husband comes back, without me as a restraint, her husband will be liberated...

However, just as Zhao Qiongman was about to activate the magic circle, Zhao Qiongman felt the child in her belly kick her hard.

This sudden fetal movement made Zhao Qiongman stunned in place.

Zhao Qiongman felt the existence of this little life for the first time.

"What should I do... What should I do? Child, I'm sorry, mother really doesn't know what to do, child, I'm sorry..." Zhao Qiongman趴伏 on the ground, crying失声.

All that filled Zhao Qiongman's heart was endless despair.

At the same time, Qi Hui, who was standing outside the door and was about to take action, turned and left.

Qi Hui knew that after this time, Zhao Qiongman would no longer harm the child in her belly.

He could rest assured completely.

In the blink of an eye, another four months passed.

Zhao Qiongman felt that her consciousness was a little不对劲.

She really wanted to attack others, really wanted to destroy.

Really wanted to turn everything into powder!

One day, Zhao Qiongman finally lost her mind and attacked several Black God Sect disciples in the Lava Heart Cave.

This incident alarmed Qi Hui.

Qi Hui quickly rushed to the scene and found that Zhao Qiongman was like a magical beast, her eyes blood red.

Finally, Qi Hui stopped Zhao Qiongman. In order to prevent Zhao Qiongman from暴走 further, Qi Hui tied Zhao Qiongman with锁链.

Every day, someone specially fed her things.

After this变故 happened, Qi Hui had people lock Zhao Qiongman's spiritual veins and spiritual acupoints to prevent Zhao Qiongman's spiritual power from暴乱, leading to断经脉 and affecting the birth of the child.

Since becoming pregnant, eight months have passed, Zhao Qiongman's belly is already very big, and Zhao Qiongman feels that the child in her belly may be meeting her soon.

In order to allow Zhao Qiongman to give birth to the child smoothly, Qi Hui specially抓了 several midwives and medical cultivators back.

Zhao Qiongman spends every day in anxiety.

Qi Hui is patiently waiting.

Just as Zhao Qiongman thought, Qi Hui is indeed not the so-called "treating you as a friend, so I didn't report your pregnancy."

What Qi Hui wanted was to see what exactly the first human being who merged with a magical beast would give birth to with an ordinary woman.

Nine months and a week later, Zhao Qiongman's belly was extremely painful, and amniotic fluid kept flowing from Zhao Qiongman's body.

Two medical cultivators and three ordinary midwives helped with the delivery together.

Zhao Qiongman's labor was very long, it lasted a day and a night.

If it were an ordinary mortal woman, she would have died in childbirth long ago.

Fortunately, Zhao Qiongman is a cultivator, and her ability to withstand is much higher than that of mortal women, and there are also medical cultivators using异宝 to续命 Zhao Qiongman.

Qi Hui waited outside the door for the birth of this child.

"Wah wah wah wah..."

With a cry, Qi Hui quickly walked into the room and went to see the child as soon as possible.

When the child was washed clean, Qi Hui repeatedly looked at this child.

This is a little girl, a human being.

At least from the appearance, it is a person.

But this little girl has a pair of horns on her head, but that is only a little bit of the characteristics of a magical beast.

When this little girl stopped crying, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were blood red, like two rubies.

For now, this little girl is the one with the fewest magical beast characteristics among all the human-beast fusions Qi Hui has ever seen.

No, she was not fused in the first place.

She was born naturally, and her body is flowing with the blood of a magical beast.

The little girl looked at Qi Hui.

Qi Hui looked at the little girl.

The two looked at each other.

A sentence suddenly popped into Qi Hui's mind—this is the first and possibly the last life born in the Baiwa City branch.

Qi Hui stretched out his hand, the medical cultivator愣了一下, but still carefully placed the little girl in Qi Hui's hand.

Feeling the baby in his arms, Qi Hui felt for the first time that life could be so weak, as if he could crush her with just a little force.

Qi Hui held the little girl at Zhao Qiongman's bedside.

The extremely weak Zhao Qiongman looked at her daughter, stretched out her hand and gently stroked her, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Take one last look, give her a name, from today onwards, she will be a member of the Black God Sect, I will take her away and raise her myself." Qi Hui said to Zhao Qiongman.

Zhao Qiongman gently stroked her daughter's cheek, she knew that she had no way to stop the other party. As a mother, she didn't know what was waiting for her child.

"Sheng Sheng, Shen Sheng Sheng..." Zhao Qiongman said.

声同音生, 声声不断, 念念不忘, 必有回响.

"Okay."

Qi Hui picked up Sheng Sheng and turned to walk out of the room.

"Qi Hui!" Zhao Qiongman shouted his name with her last strength.

Qi Hui stopped: "What's the matter?"

"Don't hurt her, please you." Zhao Qiongman恳求.

Qi Hui ignored Zhao Qiongman and walked out of the room with the child in his arms.

After Zhao Qiongman gave birth to the child, Zhao Qiongman's consciousness did not improve much.

Because of being pregnant with Shen Sheng Sheng, Zhao Qiongman suffered from the erosion of the bloodline of the magical beast, which is irreversible.

Zhao Qiongman would不定时 enter a state of癫狂.

So Qi Hui continued to lock Zhao Qiongman with锁链.

Zhao Qiongman didn't know when she would recover, and she didn't know how she and her husband would take the child away after her husband came back.

For now, Sheng Sheng is definitely a treasure to the Black God Sect, and Qi Hui will definitely not allow Sheng Sheng to be taken away.

Fortunately, Zhao Qiongman can see her daughter every few days.

For Zhao Qiongman, the two things "waiting for her husband to come back" and "being able to visit her child" are her only expectations.

"I just want to be with my husband and with my child, to live a simple life, is it so difficult?" Zhao Qiongman realized until now that the simple happiness of the mortal world is so far away from her.

Until one day, when the life lamp in the Lava Heart Cave that symbolized her husband's life was completely extinguished, Zhao Qiongman was on the verge of collapse.

"You畜生! 畜生! 畜生!"

Zhao Qiongman不停地struggled,不停地谩骂.

Zhao Qiongman doesn't blame the cultivator who killed her husband. For her husband, death may be the best kind of liberation.

What Zhao Qiongman hates is the Black God Sect!

It's all because of the Black God Sect that she and her husband have come to this point!

It's all because of the Black God Sect that she and her husband are separated!

It's all because of the Black God Sect that her child has become like that. She can only see her child once every few days, and she can only hold her for less than half a刻钟.

After Shen Sheng died, every time Qi Hui took Shen Sheng Sheng to see Zhao Qiongman, he no longer let Zhao Qiongman hold her.

Who knows if Zhao Qiongman will精神崩溃, and then take her daughter to commit suicide.

Another few years passed.

Qi Hui watched Shen Sheng Sheng grow up day by day.

Compared to ordinary children, Shen Sheng Sheng was much more aggressive. Sometimes, she really was like a magical beast. When faced with danger or stimulation, she would always adopt a defensive posture.

Due to the influence of the magical beast bloodline, Shen Sheng Sheng's intelligence progressed much slower compared to ordinary mortal children.

But she was different from magical beasts.

A magical beast's intelligence would only increase to a certain extent before stopping, having a very low upper limit.

However, Shen Sheng Sheng's intelligence had no upper limit. Instead, it gradually increased, only at a slower pace.

Given enough time, Shen Sheng Sheng might grow to be no different from an ordinary person.

Qi Hui discovered that, besides being able to cultivate like a normal cultivator, Shen Sheng Sheng could also use some of the magical beast's divine abilities.

What made Qi Hui even more surprised was that Shen Sheng Sheng's magical beast divine abilities were even stronger than those of ordinary Blood Bat Beasts.

Blood Bat Beasts were only ordinary Rank Six magical beasts, with strength equivalent to ordinary Cave Realm cultivators. It was impossible for them to breathe fire.

However, Shen Sheng Sheng could spew black flames.

Qi Hui consulted ancient books and finally understood what was happening.

Magical beasts could evolve.

However, this evolution was not like the ancestral reversion of the demon race.

The demon race's ancestral reversion was achieved through cultivation or through the inheritance left behind by ancient divine beasts, thereby cleansing their bloodline.

Magical beasts could only inherit the remains of other magical beasts, such as the heart or magic core. Even if the magical beast's ancestors or parents were powerful magical beasts, they could not rely on their bloodline to revert to their ancestors.

At most, they would become somewhat different, with greater strength.

Although a magical beast's intelligence would not increase in the slightest after evolving, its strength would greatly improve.

That Blood Bat Beast had likely obtained some kind of opportunity, evolving in a strange direction.

If not, there was only one possibility—that Blood Bat Beast's ancestors possessed the bloodline of a powerful magical beast, and after this bloodline manifested in Shen Sheng Sheng, Shen Sheng Sheng could undergo bloodline reversion like the demon race.

As far as Qi Hui knew, there were only three types of magical beasts that could spew black flames.

One was the ancient Demon Dragon, which had now disappeared without a trace. Otherwise, it would not be prefixed with the word "ancient." However, whether it was extinct was unknown. After all, the world was so vast that even ancient divine beasts appeared from time to time. Who could guarantee that Demon Dragons were extinct?

One was the Fallen Realm Serpent, of which there were still a few, existing in some secret realms of the world.

The last one was the Black Flame Butterfly.

Qi Hui looked at the girl crawling on the ground, chasing after pebbles, and wondered whether he should send her back to the Black God Sect.

This girl's value was simply too great. With the merit of this little girl alone, he could obtain the Black God Sect's Meridian Lotus and try to enter the Jade Purity Realm.

Even in the worst-case scenario, he could become a deacon of the main altar.

As for what kind of treatment this girl would receive after being sent back to the main altar, what did it have to do with him?

"Awoo..."

Just as Qi Hui was vaguely making up his mind, the little girl crawled and crawled, crawling to Qi Hui's side.

"What is it?" Qi Hui asked calmly.

Soon, Qi Hui realized that this two-year-old girl, unlike other toddlers, could understand his words.

She couldn't even speak properly.

"Die..." The little girl uttered a syllable.

"Hmm?" Qi Hui's mind focused.

"Die... Daddy..." The little girl stretched out her hand, holding a lizard in both hands, and handed it to Qi Hui.

"What did you just call me?" Qi Hui stared straight at the little girl.

"Die... Daddy...?" The little girl tilted her head, perhaps not even knowing what that pronunciation meant.
