Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Night falls.

Pei Xiana lay on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, her face showing both fear and pain.

Her swollen belly kept churning, and the shape of a baby's hands and feet could be vaguely seen.

It seemed she was indeed pregnant, and the baby was making a ruckus inside her.

At the same time, the increasingly piercing cries of the baby began to ring out incessantly.

Gu Yuncheng and his agent watched with trepidation.

Now, the agent's biggest regret is that he thought Pei Xiana had the potential to become a huge star and signed her against all odds.

"She's really...asleep?"

The agent asked in a low voice, finding it unbelievable that Pei Xiana could still fall asleep under these circumstances.

Gu Yuncheng said, "My master put her to sleep."

If Pei Xiana were awake and saw her own stomach...

Things are likely to become even more difficult.

Shen Nian looked down at Pei Xiana, holding a talisman in her hand, her expression cold and stern.

She chanted the incantation in a clear voice:

"The path to the underworld is severed, but Fengdu opens in broad daylight."

Corpse dogs guard the gate, and hidden arrows suppress the remains.

Mountains and rivers serve as prisons, the sun and moon as handcuffs.

"Hurry, by the decree of the Great Emperor of Beifengdu!"

Suddenly, the entire room was filled with a bright blue light. In a daze, Gu Yuncheng seemed to see several thin, wispy souls.

Pei Xiana suddenly began to struggle violently, letting out screams that sounded inhuman.

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !

It hurts!

Ouch!!!

In a daze, Pei Xiana felt as if she had returned to that cold operating table.

A pair of cold scissors was inserted into her lower body, crushing the formed baby and pulling it out.

It was as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from her body.

Later, she presented the bag of broken flesh to the Southeast Asian shaman and watched him stitch the limbs back together, piece by piece.

It hurts……

It really hurts...

Shen Nian remained unmoved.

She quickened the speed of her hand seals, swiftly extracting the demonic fetus from Pei Xiana's body.

Her once prominent belly, resembling that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy, quickly deflated, like a punctured balloon, leaving marks on her skin that were difficult to repair.

Shen Nian tossed the wooden plaque that sealed the Kumanthong to Gu Yuncheng.

"That's... all done?"

The agent looked at Pei Xiana, whose eyes were still tightly closed.

Although it's hard to believe, Pei Xiana's previously pale complexion has indeed become a bit rosier.

It looks like a living person now.

Shen Nian got in touch with Pei Xiana.

"How is she...?"

"You're alive and out of danger. But there's one thing."

Shen Nian said calmly, "There is a normal human fetus in her belly."

The agent's eyes widened slowly.

"What...did you say?"

She's pregnant.

And for some reason, those Kuman Thong did not harm the child in her womb.

They even subtly protected the young child on several occasions.

The agent wearily pinched the bridge of his nose: "The grave has been booked, and the burial can be arranged tomorrow."

"Now that she is out of danger, I have done my best and lived up to the friendship we have built over the years."

"From now on, I will no longer care about her. Whether she wants to give birth to this child or abort it, I will not care. I have also spoken to the company about it."

The company won't go against the Gu family for the sake of Pei Xiana.

"The clarification video has already been released."

Shen Nian nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Of course."

The agent said with a wry smile.

"It was all because of Pei Xiana that you, Master, were scolded by her fans for so many days. The fact that the Gu family didn't treat us because of this is already showing leniency."

He no longer dares to look at what the trending topics look like.

Pei Xiana will inevitably become a discarded pawn of the company.

But the entertainment industry is never short of beautiful female celebrities.

In two months, new stars will be promoted.

Gu Yuncheng had no qualms and immediately took out his phone to access the trending topics.

Bae Hana admits to raising a ghost child.

Pei Xiana apologizes.

Shen Nian, you're a god!

……

The hashtags related to Pei Xiana dominated almost the entire top ten of the trending topics list.

Her fans were once incredibly powerful, but now they're in a sorry state.

After all, this matter has blown up so much that the entire entertainment industry is now watching the drama unfold.

Many of Pei Xiana's rival fans jumped out to criticize Pei Xiana and her fans.

Gu Yuncheng dug out and rehashed everyone who had previously insulted Shen Nian.

Does your face hurt?

Are you still criticizing Shen Nian?

Have you seen the truth?

[Oh, you insulted Shen Nian too, and quite rudely at that. Just wait, I'll send you a lawyer's letter right now.]

You can owe as much as you want.

Shen Nian shook her head helplessly.

She didn't care about either criticism or praise.

All she cared about was the power of faith.

Because of Pei Xiana's incident, her live streaming account gained nearly a million more followers, and the number is still rising.

The power of faith, invisible to the naked eye, was flowing into her body, almost wrapping her up like a giant, golden silkworm cocoon.

"Alright, my work is done, I won't stay any longer."

"If she feels unwell when she wakes up tomorrow, she can just see a doctor as usual."

"Let me take you home. It's too late, and it's not safe to take a taxi."

"No need. You stay here and take care of her."

The agent looked out of the bedroom window and saw a discreet black car parked in the yard below.

Based on his discerning eye, he could tell that this car was worth at least 20 million.

"That's... President Gu?"

It turned out that President Gu came to pick them up in person.

"Um."

"Um, may I ask, you and President Gu... are..."

"If you know it's presumptuous, then don't ask."

Shen Nian said without any politeness, reached out and picked up Gu Yuncheng, who was engrossed in arguing with netizens, and walked out of the villa.

"How long have you been waiting?"

In the car, Shen Nian asked.

Gu Qiwen smiled and said, "Not long."

"There are drivers at Tiannan Mountain, you don't need to..."

Shen Nian frowned, but before she could finish speaking, Gu Qiwen interrupted her.

"But I want to come and pick you up."

Shen Nian: ...

"No need next time. Regular sleep is good for your health."

After returning to Tiannan Mountain.

Shen Nian beckoned to Gu Qiwen: "Come with me."

She led Gu Qiwen to her room.

"sit."

Gu Qiwen did as instructed.

He didn't ask Shen Nian why she had called him over; he simply listened quietly to her speak.

The air around them seemed to be filled with Shen Nian's cool fragrance. Gu Qiwen closed his eyes and felt a tingling sensation in his heart.

Just as he was about to open his eyes, he heard Shen Nian say, "Close your eyes. I have something good for you."

When you close your eyes, the sensations of your other five senses are amplified infinitely.

Gu Qiwen felt Shen Nian's cool and soft fingertips.

Then something warm suddenly surged into his body.

...What is it?

Shen Nian absorbed the power of faith, transformed a portion of it into gentle immortal essence that ordinary people could accept, and sent it into Gu Qiwen's body.

Consider it a thank you to him for having his lawyer clean up the mess he made online.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

"Is it comfortable?"

Gu Qiwen: ...

I feel there's something odd about this question.

But it is indeed comfortable.

It felt a bit like soaking in a hot spring, with a warm feeling all over your body.

Shen Nian waved her hand: "Go back and rest."

Gu Qiwen paused for a moment, then said, "Good night."
