Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 343: Demon Pill Transforms into a Demon
Granny Liu paced back and forth hurriedly in front of the gate of the Snake Ancestor Temple, with all the snake clan demon cultivators crawling behind her.

The old woman glanced at the dark night sky, feeling a lingering worry in her heart.

My second young lady, Ji Lingruo, has been in seclusion in the Snake Ancestor Temple for more than a month to break through the Condensed Water Realm, but she has not come out yet. No matter how special she is, she shouldn't be this special. There has never been a record in history that someone could be in seclusion in the Condensed Water Realm for such a long time.

Tonight, she was restless and tossed and turned in the cave, unable to close her eyes peacefully. Following the guidance of the hidden worries in her heart, she walked to the door of the Snake Ancestor Temple where Ji Lingruo was in seclusion, only to find that something was wrong with the Snake Ancestor Temple.

This ancient and solemn palace is actually crumbling!

Earthquakes are very common in Japan, but they who were kneeling on the ground could not feel the earthquake at all, which could only mean that there was a problem inside the Snake Ancestral Hall. You know, this is the most important building of the snake clan, and it has never collapsed in thousands of years, so the incident of the Snake Ancestral Hall has attracted great attention from all the snake demons.

"Elder Liu! What should we do now? The second young lady is still inside!" a beautiful snake elder asked anxiously.

Elder Liu also had no idea. She didn't know whether the shaking of the Snake Ancestor Temple was related to the Second Young Miss's retreat, so she was hesitant.

On the one hand, she didn't want to disrupt the Second Young Miss's long retreat. She and her clansmen had witnessed the purity of the Second Young Miss's demon pill and her high talent for cultivation. If she destroyed the Second Young Miss's foundation, she would be held responsible!

On the one hand, she couldn't just watch the Snake Ancestor Temple collapse. The inheritance method in the Snake Ancestor Temple was very important, but the most important thing was the snake blood pool. That was the key that allowed their snake clan to survive until now without male offspring. As the most senior elder in the clan, she couldn't sit idly by and watch the clan's bloodline be severed!
She was hesitant. With the patriarch away, this huge burden had to be carried on her shoulders.

If she were the clan leader, she would definitely choose to save her sister...but could she be so willful?

Nearly a thousand beautiful girls behind her were hoping that she could make a decision as soon as possible. Granny Liu made up her mind and finally put her hand on the shaking huge stone door.

But at this moment, a shrill female moan was heard from the Snake Ancestor Temple.

Granny Liu was so frightened that her eyebrows raised. She turned around subconsciously, only to find that all the snake demons were looking at her.

An even more shrill scream rang out, and Granny Liu was very sure that it was the scream coming from her second young lady!
Without any hesitation, she immediately gave birth to emerald green light with her hands, preparing to break down the door of the Snake Ancestral Temple.

However, this attack only caused ripples of mysterious energy on the gate of the Snake Ancestor Temple. The elders looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts.

They all took a step forward, gathering everyone's strength and bombarding the gate of the Snake Ancestor Temple together.

The heavy door finally began to loosen, and as the Snake Ancestor Temple itself shook, a glimmer of light could be seen.

Granny Liu quickly moved closer and looked into her sight, and her pupils instantly widened!
She quickly stepped back and shouted, "Break the door!"

The anxiety in his tone instantly infected everyone present. Facing this sacred gate, they did not hold back at all and blew it to pieces in an instant.

The crack of the gate also announced the collapse of the entire Snake Ancestor Temple. The nine snake pillars with huge pythons coiled on them broke into pieces. This building that had been passed down for thousands of years would collapse rapidly at a speed faster than lightning.

"Everyone step back! I'll go and bring the young lady back!" Granny Liu shouted loudly, then stomped her feet and stepped into the ruined hall.

The lights flickered, and the blood in the red pool was boiling. The huge snake head on top looked like a living creature, hideous and terrifying, as if it wanted to swallow the girl in front of it whole.

Fortunately, the snake head is also constantly disintegrating, and the old stone skin is peeling off, just like the shed snake skin.

Granny Liu seemed to sense something, as if some connection in her blood had been completely severed.

In the snake blood pool, the graceful girl curled up and twisted her body in the blood. She held her abdomen tightly, her face full of pain, like a woman about to give birth.

Granny Liu worked non-stop and waved her hand to clear away the falling stones for her young lady.

She took a look at the snake blood leaking out of the precious snake blood pool, with a look of pity and regret on her face, but she was powerless to stop it.

She must take the young lady out before the Snake Ancestor Temple completely collapses!

The Snake Ancestor Temple was covered with several arrays and supported by many magical instruments. Even a strong earthquake could not destroy this vital building. But it still collapsed tonight, which showed that the collapse of this building was irreversible.

The female snake demons outside looked at the decline of the Snake Ancestor Temple with expressions of pity and confusion, some even wept.

With a few loud rumbling sounds, the magnificent Snake Ancestor Temple turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

Several elders who were standing in front of them all gasped, but fortunately the second young lady's miserable moans continued.

The thick smoke and dust dissipated, and the figure of Granny Liu holding Ji Lingruo horizontally appeared in the sight of the girls.

Most of the snake demons secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but a small number of old-fashioned snake elders looked at the ruins behind Granny Liu with grief and sighed:
"The heavens are going to destroy our demon race!"

The collapse of the Snake Ancestor Temple means that the snake blood pool on which the snake clan relies for reproduction has also been completely buried. The snake blood that has been carefully preserved for thousands of years will be contaminated by dust and seep into the earth.

And their snake clan will become completely extinct in this generation.

The women also sighed upon hearing this. Although they all knew that the Snake Ancestral Temple would never collapse without a reason, and saving people was all they could do, they still felt confused and worried about the future of the snake clan.

If a race is destined not to survive, then no matter how powerful it is, it will only be a flash in the pan, so what is the point of their struggle?
But an even more painful scream broke the silent dawn, and the girls then noticed why the second young lady, who was carried out of the smoke, screamed so miserably.

Her belly was actually bulging!

She is pregnant!

"Hurry up and prepare a clean room!" Granny Liu shouted anxiously.

……

The snake clan does rely on the blood of their snake ancestors to continue their bloodline, but it is not possible to become pregnant simply by drinking snake blood.

In order to achieve the purpose of passing on offspring and protect the safety of the pregnant woman, first of all, she must be of the required age, and secondly, be in good health. She must also be in a stable period of cultivation, and finally, she must go through various rituals and practice top-secret special techniques to guide the snake blood in order to become pregnant.

All of the above steps are indispensable. This is the iron rule of the snake clan to use snake blood to continue their offspring.

Ji Lingruo obviously could not meet all the above requirements, and the elders of the snake tribe would never agree to let her get pregnant. Even if she was a peerless genius who was about to die, the rules passed down by the snake tribe would not allow these sisters to treat their own kind as tools for reproduction.

Moreover, the snake tribe's pregnancy through this secret method is the same as human's normal pregnancy, which requires ten months of gestation. Based on this calculation, could it be that the second young lady was pregnant before ten months?
She didn't return to the Snake Clan at that time. How did she do it?
Is it...

The atmosphere outside the secret room was depressing, and the elders put pressure on the silent Granny Liu. This old lady had been frowning and lamenting since she sent the second young lady into the secret room. She must know something about the inside story.

Granny Liu glanced at her tribesmen, she sighed, and finally decided not to hide it anymore and told them the relationship between Ji Lingruo and You Su.

The girls were shocked when they heard this. Only then did they know who was the culprit behind the Second Miss' pregnancy. It turned out to be the Second Miss's senior brother, the second disciple of Venerable Lian Jian!
Many snake demons immediately started cursing, cursing the scheming demon boy, and even thought it was a conspiracy of Venerable Lian Jian, so she dared to take the risk of the world to accept a demon girl as her disciple.

And every time the criticism against You Su intensified, the screams in the secret room became more intense, as if a girl in pain was arguing for her lover. The people outside couldn't bear it and had to restrain themselves a little.

The tragedy that happened to the previous clan leader happened again to her daughter. The women felt sad and blamed it on Granny Liu's excessive indulgence.

Granny Liu could only wail and regret. Her young lady was in a period of rapid development in her cultivation, and although she had received a lot of help from You Su, how could she get pregnant at such an early age?

But she also felt it was strange and unreasonable. When her young lady returned to the tribe for meditation and seclusion, her stomach was clearly flat. How come it became so bloated after a month?

Just as the atmosphere became increasingly depressing, the door of the secret room jingled open, and the elderly midwife wiped the sweat from her forehead, her expression more complicated than any of the women had ever seen before.

"Aunt! Is it a boy or a girl?!"

The midwife just gave the elder who asked the question a dirty look, as if to say, is it even necessary to ask this question?
The girls kept asking questions, but Granny Liu stepped out from the crowd and asked with concern, "How is the Second Miss?"

The midwife sighed, "She's in relatively stable condition."

"Since the mother and daughter are safe, why do you look so worried?" an elder behind him asked puzzledly.

Whenever a new child was born in the tribe, the midwife would welcome the arrival of the newborn with great joy and had never been as conflicted as she was today.

The midwife just shook her head: "I have been delivering babies all my life, but this is the first time I have seen anything like this..."

"What's the matter?" Granny Liu asked immediately.

"That child was not born by the young lady at all!" The midwife's tone seemed as if she began to doubt her lifelong experience in delivering babies.

"What?!" The girls were surprised.

"The lady's belly was swollen, but there was no sign of pregnancy. I was so anxious that I used my mysterious energy to probe into her body to observe the baby's condition. But I found that this was not a snake baby at all! It was a demon pill that had transformed into a human form!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy area outside the secret room suddenly became quiet, and everyone was so shocked that they forgot to breathe.

It is unheard of that a demon pill can transform into a demon!

Granny Liu staggered, rubbed her aching temple, and asked again:

"So the young lady gave birth to her own 'demon pill'?!"

"It's not giving birth!" The midwife recalled the scene and still found it unbelievable, "It's vomiting!"

She then continued, "The lady's stomach suddenly deflated, and then she turned over and vomited out the demon pill! As a result, the demon pill fell to the ground and turned into a lively baby!"

Granny Liu felt that every word she heard was challenging her cognition. She took a deep breath and said seriously, "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight! No matter who is present, keep this to yourself! Otherwise, you will be hanged!"

Hanging is the most horrific punishment for the snake demon clan. Everyone who heard about it would gasp and fall silent.

The midwife shook her head when she heard this. She stepped aside and looked back at the scene in the secret room. She still couldn't hide her shock:

"You can come in and see the rest yourself... No one else should come in yet, let the young lady rest in peace."

Granny Liu couldn't wait any longer. She turned around and warned the women present with her eyes, then immediately bent down and stepped through the door of the secret room.

As soon as Fang entered the room, she saw a scene that shocked her -

I saw a chubby and cute baby girl lying on the head of the bed. She was not crying or making a fuss, and she was even holding a blanket in her hand to wipe the sweat from the forehead of the unconscious girl!
"Mother! Mother!"

The baby girl called out in a sweet voice to the girl who had gone through so much hardship to give birth to her...

The elders who couldn't help but stick their heads in out of curiosity also saw this horrifying scene, and a big question arose in their minds at the same time -

Is this a child prodigy, the reincarnation of the snake ancestor?

Or is it a freak, a disaster for the snake clan?

……

On April 29th, 5104 of the Shenshan calendar, all the cultivators in the Five Continents will remember this day, because from this day on, the fate of the Five Continents has been completely rewritten.

The three evil gods hiding in the unknown place finally showed their fangs, and the first to show up was the Lord of Flesh and Blood who was powerful enough to crush everything.

By the time the major sacred mountains sensed him, he was already on the shore of the South China Sea and about to land. Relying on a special evil spirit, he and his subjects would fly across Central China, bringing endless disasters.

However, his action, which was beyond Shenshan's expectations, did not achieve remarkable results, because standing in his way was the world's number one magic practitioner - Master Tianshu.

This cultivator, who is probably the longest-lived in all five continents, demonstrated his supreme attainment in the art of magic. The magic of spatial attributes existed only in theory, but became a reality in his hands.

He turned into a black sun in the night sky, and nothing, including light, could pass through that space.

The magic he used at the cost of his life could not kill the Lord of Flesh and Blood, but it did block His advance. The subsequent monks made up for it and completely improved the defense line of the South China Sea. After several unsuccessful attempts, the Lord of Flesh and Blood actually led his troops to withdraw into the dark sea.

However, the pitch-black tentacles surrounding the black sun still made some people doubt the great achievements of Master Tianshu.

However, as more news came out, the opinions of these people became more and more credible.

The so-called Zhengyang Zhenxian was not a good person at all. He had been corrupted by evil spirits during his hundreds of years of overseas cultivation. After all, there was no Shenhui Stone on the overseas fairy island.

The fundamental purpose of the True Immortal Zhengyang holding this trial was actually to gather the best group of geniuses in the Five Continents and make them all become followers of the evil demons, so as to achieve the goal of completely extinct the human cultivators. That's why so many young talents died on the island, and the so-called teleportation talisman was a joke. Fortunately, a small number of people escaped and preserved a spark of future for the Five Continents.

And there is an even more important presence in this trial—You Su, a disciple from Lotus Peak of Xuanxiao Sect.

He turned out to be the biggest culprit who caused the monks to become followers of evil spirits.

This evil demon hidden in the world frightened everyone, and more secrets about You Su were revealed -

He killed the evil city lord of the city where he was born, who was far superior to himself in realm, and that was the key event for him to obtain the ticket to Xuanxiao Sect;

In many cases of evil spirits appearing, people have claimed to have seen this young man;

Among the techniques he practiced, one was the Zhengyang Sword Cultivation Technique...

The speculation that he and the Immortal Zhengyang were accomplices became the mainstream view. People were looking for the body of this unforgivable man, but they couldn't find it even after searching the entire South China Sea.

The storm in the South China Sea seems to have subsided, but it has not really disappeared, it has just moved somewhere else.

The first place it appeared was the Lotus Peak of Xuanxiao Sect...
