Chapter 71 Son of God

"God's son."

Xiao Yulou whispered.

"They call the child I'm carrying 'Son of God'. My husband died on the battlefield a long time ago, but I got pregnant in my dream. When the news got out, a meteorite from outer space happened to hit the bank of Luo River, and on the meteorite were engraved eight characters: 'The dragon enters my arms, and the world is set'. The monks and sorcerers all said that my pregnancy was a gift from heaven, and the baby in my belly was the Son of God."

The Zen room was filled with a faint bitter smell of medicine.

“But the situation in my dream had nothing to do with the dragon entering my arms.

"I dreamed that I was in a narrow, dark box. The pungent smell of rotten meat made me feel sick. A man was lying on top of me, but the light was dim in the dream and I couldn't see his face clearly. His hands slowly moved over my body, and I could feel his skin, which was as soft as mud. The touch was like..."

Xiao Yulou pondered for a while, but couldn't think of the most appropriate metaphor.

Xiao Baojing said crisply: "It looks like a rotten and moldy orange!"

It is grayish-green, soft and mushy like wet mud, and disgusting pus flows out.

Xiao Yulou closed her eyes, disgust permeating her young and beautiful face: "I dreamed of him every night until I became pregnant with this child. Everyone said that this child was the son of God, and praised me as the mother of the son of God, and praised me for having endless blessings. But only I know that it is the child of a demon!
"I have secretly tried countless ways to induce an abortion, but to no avail. This child is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, firmly entrenched in my stomach. It is now six months pregnant. Although I took abortion pills just half a month ago, the imperial physician still said that the fetus is very stable. And these few days, I began to dream about the man in the box again..."

The end of her voice began to tremble.

It was obvious that what was happening in the box terrified her.

Xiao Baojing looked at her sympathetically and poured a cup of hot water from the thermos and handed it to her.

Shang Bingjiu put his hands in his pockets and sat cross-legged on an official hat chair without him noticing.

He said slowly: "So, why did you invite us here?"

Xiao Yulou held the cup of hot water tightly.

The heat spread from her fingertips to her limbs and bones, giving her a little calmness and strength.

Her eyes were red. "I want you to find the man in the box. I want you to kill him! I also want you to... I want you to find a way to kill this evil creature in my belly for me!"

Shang Bingjiu: "Reward?"

Xiao Yulou took out a wooden box and handed it to Xiao Baojing: "Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver."

Xiao Baojing opened the box, took a look, took a deep breath, and almost fainted with excitement.

After all, even if one studies hard to take the imperial examination and become an official, one may not be able to save up 100,000 taels of silver in a lifetime if one does not engage in corruption!

The peddler made a fortune!

But Shang Bingjiu just sneered.

Xiao Yulou lowered his voice and said, "I know that the more capable you sorcerers are, the more you despise gold and silver."

Xiao Baojing hugged the money box tightly: No, I don’t look down on it!
Xiao Yulou stretched out his hand to her: "Give it back to me."

Xiao Baojing: No!
She glanced at Shang Bingjiu.

He was the one who was doing the work of fighting demons and defending justice, so she couldn't ask for anything. She could only try her best to pretend to be noble and aloof, and look down on money as dirt. She reluctantly handed the money box back to Xiao Yulou.

But he was pulled twice before he let go.

Xiao Yulou hid the money box and took out another long brocade box from under the pillow.

She opened the brocade box and said, "This is what our ancestors of the Southern Tang royal family found in the treasury of the Gu Song Dynasty. Although I don't know what it is used for, it must be very precious to be treasured by the Gu Song Dynasty. How about I take it as a reward?"

Xiao Baojing looked over curiously.

Inside the brocade box lay a delicately rolled-up flag.

Xiao Yulou unfolded it.

Various complex patterns were embroidered on the chaotic dark yellow satin, as well as three extremely ancient characters that Xiao Baojing could not recognize.

She glanced at Shang Bingjiu secretly. She didn't know what this little flag was used for. It was not as practical as a money box.

It would be fine if the peddler went from street to street selling rags, but now he is collecting rags!

But Shang Bingjiu said with his foxy eyes: "The deal is done."

He rolled up the flag and casually stuffed it into Xiao Baojing's persimmon bag: "Go home."

"Master Shang," Xiao Yulou called him in dissatisfaction, "You want to take the reward before the work is done?"

"My rule is to pay first and then do the work." Shang Bingjiu smiled, "Besides, apart from me, you can't find another demon hunter in the huge Southern Tang who is capable of doing this for you."

Xiao Yulou choked.

She was left with no other options, and the flag was truly useless in her hands, so she had no choice but to let Shang Bingjiu leave.

Xiao Baojing stayed in the meditation room lingeringly and did not leave.

Xiao Yulou glanced at her.

The prince had already told her everything about the puppet monster wearing the skin of his ninth niece.

Although he was a monster, he at least avenged his ninth niece.

She naturally felt close to Xiao Baojing: "What do you want?"

"Um..." Xiao Baojing looked at her bulging belly curiously, "Do you hate this child?"

She had often heard people say that mothers were born with a deep love for their children.

But Xiao Yulou was determined to get rid of the baby in her belly.

Xiao Yulou gently stroked her pregnant belly: "Humans and demons are different. Since he is the child of a demon, he is also a demon. I was born a human, how can I be the mother of a demon? More importantly, even if the father of this child is not a demon, he was conceived against my will. His existence is a reminder of all the unbearable things I have experienced. Miss Xiao, his existence is unreasonable in the first place."

Xiao Baojing seemed to be thinking about something.

Returning to the banana courtyard, she told Shang Bingjiu what Xiao Yulou had said.

Shang Bingjiu is repairing the chicken coop.

The big fat duck grew fatter and fatter, and it collapsed the chicken coop last night.

He smiled and said, "That makes sense. God prefers women. He has given women the power to reproduce, but whether or not to use this power is entirely up to women themselves."

Xiao Baojing's almond eyes sparkled: "I understand what you said! Peddler, I will love myself very much in the future!"

Shang Bingjiu turned around and smiled at her.

The fox's eyes were crescent-shaped, and it was a smile that was very indulgent and doting.

Xiao Baojing felt embarrassed by his smile. He twisted his hair ribbon with his fingertips, turned around and went into the house.

She sat down next to her dressing table and took out a bronze mirror with a double fish pattern from her bag.

The fairyland in the mirror was half repaired by the two bronze fish.

She reached out and poked the mirror, and her face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

She was about to dress up when she saw her neck was sewn with dense red threads.

She is a monster.

——Humans and demons are different. Since he is the child of a demon, he is also a demon. I was born a human, how can I be the mother of a demon?

Although he and the peddler had not even started dating, and he was even embarrassed to express his feelings publicly, Xiao Baojing still thought about the distant future.

Humans and demons can't be together, right?
