Fantasy: Giving birth but not raising? Why are you crying when I become the Immortal Emperor?

Chapter 5 The child is gone! The parents are filled with regret
In the early morning, dewdrops condensed on the green branches and leaves of the grass, and a light mist was floating in the lush forest.

In the hazy vision, a woman in white with a melancholy expression appeared at the silent foot of the mountain.

Ever since Qin Yao had that nightmare at night, her heart has been in turmoil. She is always worried about Ye Lingyun's safety and can't sleep well.

Even though she tried everything to put aside her distracting thoughts and concentrate on her cultivation, she was still unable to break free from her restless state.

As the day gradually brightened, there was no improvement. In fact, the uneasiness lingering in her heart became stronger.

As a new mother, she finally couldn't contain her longing for her child and decided to secretly leave Yaochi alone and come here to see her child.

However, when she approached within a few miles of the remote mountain village, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

It was so quiet, so quiet that it was deathly silent inside and outside the mountain village.

She could even smell a faint scent of blood in the air around her.

As if she had thought of some possibility, her slender body trembled suddenly, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and the pupils in her beautiful eyes trembled violently.

hum!
Her body was surrounded by a dazzling light, and her figure instantly disappeared into thin air. When she reappeared, she was already above the courtyard of the foster family in the northwest corner of the mountain village.

A dilapidated hut, a broken courtyard wall, and a collapsed wooden door.

Everywhere you look, you see a desolate scene.

Several broken limbs and arms were scattered everywhere, blood was dripping, and the disgusting smell of blood filled the air, dyeing the entire mountain village scarlet.

Even if you have never seen it with your own eyes, just by looking at the scene presented in this mountain village at that time, you can easily imagine what kind of tragic scene this mountain village experienced at that time.

Purgatory on earth is nothing more than this.

"No"

"How could it become like this?"

Qin Yao's spiritual sense spread out, sweeping across the entire mountain village in a breath, and then the whole person fell into a complete daze.

Dead, all dead
With her level of cultivation, it was not difficult for her to find out that there was no living person in this mountain village.

My own children, too.
Upon realizing this, she stood there in a daze for a long while, and then her thin shoulders began to tremble violently.

The expression on her pretty face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and an indescribable despair appeared in her beautiful eyes.

She fell from the air in panic and began to search frantically in the dilapidated courtyard.

In the hut, no!

There’s nothing in the firewood bush!

There’s still nothing in the water tank!

Immediately afterwards, an extremely condensed spiritual consciousness swept out again, accompanied by tremendous pressure, covering the entire mountain village.

Don't miss any corner and search every inch.

But in the end, still nothing was gained.

puff.

All the strength in Qin Yao's body seemed to be drained away in an instant. She could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Those charming eyes gradually turned red, she lowered her head, clenched the hem of her skirt with both hands, her knuckles turned white, and she trembled continuously.

"It was me. I killed the child myself."

A faint murmur came out from Tan's mouth.

At this moment, endless regret surged into her heart, nearly drowning her remaining sanity.

The joys and sorrows in life came so suddenly, shattering her heart that was concerned about her children.

...Half a day later, Qin Yao, with a distraught look on her face, met Ye Chang.

Due to their identities, the two could not reveal their relationship in public. They left each other secret contact information when they parted, and now they met in the dense forest outside the city, with no one else around.

As soon as they met, Ye Chang noticed that her expression was very strange, and he asked unconsciously,
"Yao'er, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yao stared at him disheartenedly and replied,

"I went to see my son."

Ye Chang frowned when he heard this.

"How has he been doing there these days?"

But obviously, his attention was not on the child at this time. Instead, he continued to speak gently,

"Yao'er, don't worry. When the one-year period is up, we will go and pick him up."

"Once I bring the child back to the Marquis' Mansion, I will definitely not treat him unfairly. I will definitely make up for it and dote on him even more in the future."

He thought that Qin Yao missed her son so much that she couldn't help herself. She came to see him today probably to ask him to take her son back as soon as possible and not to abide by the one-year agreement.

But for Ye Chang, this matter was of great importance and must not be exposed at the moment, so he thought of speaking to comfort Qin Yao first and calm her down before talking about other things.

However, reality often does not go as he wishes.

Qin Yao's next words completely shocked him.

"But the child is gone and the whole village is dead."

After saying this, Qin Yao could no longer suppress the sorrow in her heart. Tears rolled down her eyes and she covered her face and sobbed.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chang's expression changed drastically, his eyes widened to the extreme, staring at Qin Yao in disbelief, and asked anxiously,

"How is this possible?"

Qin Yao did not answer and continued to sob, but her behavior spoke for itself.

My son is gone just like that?
Ye Chang's tall body shook violently. Looking at his beloved woman who was crying with her face covered in front of him, he felt endless regret in his heart.

I didn't expect that the decision I made would cost my son's life.

If he had known this earlier, he would never have sent his son to live in that mountain village.

Ye Chang clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, feeling a mixture of self-blame and regret in his heart, which was extremely bitter.

"This is all my fault. Why did I agree to send the child to foster care, causing him to be eaten by a monster?"

Qin Yao squatted on the ground, hugging her knees weakly, letting the tears in her eyes drip uncontrollably. She cried sadly and sobbed to herself.

"My son was just born and was so young. He should have grown up carefree under our protection, but now he has lost his life."

"Ye Chang, don't you think we are being too cruel to him?"

"He's just a kid, what did he do wrong?"

Qin Yao squatted limply on the ground with her head buried in her arms. Her crying echoed faintly in the dense forest, sounding particularly sad.

Ye Chang squatted down, put his hand on her thin shoulder, opened his mouth, wanting to say something comforting, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only accompany her in silence.

After a long time, when he saw Qin Yao's excitement had calmed down a little, Ye Chang slowly helped her up.
"I'll go there and have a look."

After saying this in a deep voice, Ye Chang, filled with regret, soared into the sky and flew straight towards the direction of the mountain village.
