Han Jiuchen told me not to be afraid, "Everyone has this kind of spirit body. It may not necessarily be a ghost, it may just be a trace of aura."

When he said this, I felt a little relieved, "Then what did you ask?"

"Dong Ling, He Jin and Zhong Jingyuan all have the same ghostly aura. Their deaths should be caused by the same person. Why bother asking just now about the real cause of their death."

I asked: "Didn't you say... that black mist on He Jin's body is the aura of your enemy?"

"Yes, it's Tang Xuanyi," Han Jiuchen's eyes turned cold, "He covered it up very well. If I hadn't faced him directly yesterday, I wouldn't have noticed anything strange."

I started to be confused, "If it was him, why did he ask He Jin and Zhong Jingyuan to apologize to me before they died?"

"Because...here."

While Han Jiuchen was speaking, he reached out and put his palm on my stomach.

Even through my clothes, I felt that the area covered by him was starting to feel hot. Something in my stomach seemed to be stimulated, and it began to roll around desperately to escape.

"Ah -" I screamed, the unbearable cramping started from my lower abdomen and then spread to all my limbs.

I was so painful that I broke out in cold sweat and couldn't stand firmly. If Han Jiuchen hadn't hugged me, I would have rolled to the ground.

The strange thing is that when Han Jiuchen's palm left my stomach, the thing inside gradually calmed down and stopped moving.

The pain gradually disappeared and I gasped for air.

"What...what is going on? What is there in my stomach?"

"The infant spirit entering the body is a ghost fetus." Han Jiuchen said as he helped me sit down on a chair. "Recall carefully, what strange things have happened recently."

Infant spirit... ghost fetus... I thought of the dream I had in the infirmary!

"A dream! It's a dream!" I said quickly.

I told Han Jiuchen everything about the dream.

Han Jiuchen looked as if this was indeed the case, "It seems...Tang Xuanyi has long planned to use your body to conceive this child for him. No wonder those who have hurt you are dead."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder, "So... I'm pregnant?"

I glanced at Han Jiuchen and thought to myself, what kind of world is this! I had a dream and I got pregnant!

Damn it, it’s so disgusting! It’s like being raped!

I don't know if Han Jiuchen understood the meaning in my eyes. He rubbed my head and said, "Don't think so wildly."

"Wait, let's talk about harm... Zhong Jingyuan actually didn't hurt me!" I said.

"Use," Han Jiuchen said, "He took advantage of you."

Han Jiuchen told me that Zhong Jingyuan is not a member of the Zhong family. If he wants to be recognized in the Zhong family, he must either come from a noble family or have extraordinary achievements.

Han Jiuchen is considered a leader among ghosts. If he can be taken in, no one will dare to bully Zhong Jingyuan in the Zhong family from now on.

So that's it...but that's not the point now.

The point is——

"Then what should I do?" I asked, pointing to my belly.

"Having a fetus," Han Jiuchen said, "the longer the fetus is in your body, the more harm it will do to you."

When I heard that it was harmful to my body, I became even more scared and quickly said, "Let's get off now! Come on, come on, I'm ready!"

While talking, I sat up straight, pushed my belly out, and patted it a few times with both hands.

Han Jiuchen said: "Su Qingzheng, although it's not too late to have a baby, it's not possible now."

"Why?" I screamed and jumped up, "I feel sick when I think about a monster inside my body!"

Han Jiuchen said: "Since Tang Xuan also wants to have a child through his own pregnancy, he will never allow us to abort his child. When I help you have a baby, he will definitely stop me. Even if he doesn't come in person, he will be his confidant. "

I kind of understand. Now Han Jiuchen is still injured. If he confronts Tang Xuanyi again and has to take care of me, he will definitely lose.

"How long will it take?" I asked.

"In a few days, I want to go back to the compound." Han Jiuchen said.

I asked him: "Do you want to use the matter of giving birth to me to attract Tang Xuanyi and take back your things?"

Han Jiuchen looked at me, and I saw the apology in his eyes.

I endured my sadness and asked, "Does that count as helping you?"

Han Jiuchen nodded, "Forget it."

Very good, just what I want.

"Have you considered the contract I talked about yesterday?"

Han Jiuchen looked helpless, perhaps remembering the unpleasant conversation we had yesterday.

"Does it have to be this way?"

"Of course, I'm using my life to help you, and I don't want to end up with nothing in the end!" I said, "Just treat it as the five insurances and one gold you pay me."

I walked around him and came to the table. Using the pen and paper on his desk, I listed out a contract.

The content of the contract includes that I must obey Han Jiuchen's instructions unconditionally. In exchange, Han Jiuchen cannot hide anything from me. After each task is completed, I can choose to receive payment or ask him to do things for me.

I handed him the contract and said, "Sign it."

Han Jiuchen took it without even looking at it and signed it without saying a word.

I put the contract away and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll go back to the compound with you."

Han Jiuchen hesitated for a moment, but never said anything more, and agreed to take me back to the compound.

…

Han Jiuchen drove towards Ximen and headed out of the city. On the way, he called Henry Chu and made an appointment to meet in the courtyard.

About an hour passed, and the car stopped at the door of a large house.

"That's it." Han Jiuchen said.

I jumped out of the car first and waited for him to park the car.

The door of the house is bright red, and both doors are closed tightly.

Han Jiuchen parked the car, opened the door and took me in.

When I walked to the door, I felt a gust of cold wind blowing on my face, and I shivered unconsciously.

This house is like an ordinary courtyard house, with a courtyard in the middle and surrounded by households.

Han Jiuchen took me into the largest room, which housed a spiritual altar and was filled with smoke.

Han Jiuchen took out three incense sticks from the drawer of the altar table, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

I stood behind him and looked at the spiritual tablet with Han Jiuchen's name written on it. Watching him burn incense for himself, I felt awkward all over.

After Han Jiuchen finished offering the incense, I stood over and offered him three sticks of incense.

After walking in, I saw clearly the birth and death years on the memorial tablet - 1409 to 1437... He died young!

"Have you seen enough?" Han Jiuchen's voice came from behind me.

I quickly turned around and stayed away from the altar table.

Han Jiuchen stood in front of another table, tinkering with something unknown.

I leaned over and carefully observed his expression.

He didn't even look at me, he just stared at the things he was working on in his hands with no expression on his face.

I feel a little distressed for no reason.

Maybe he felt uncomfortable when I looked at him, so Han Jiuchen said: "Don't look at me, go and lie down on the bed."

I said oh and climbed onto the bed obediently.

Although I don’t know his intentions, I don’t want to disobey him now. Whatever he says will be whatever it is.

After a while, Han Jiuchen came towards me carrying a small bowl. He sat down by the bed and said, "Pull up your clothes."

I obediently picked up my clothes, and a section of my white belly appeared in front of Han Jiuchen's eyes.

Han Jiuchen put his index finger into the bowl and stirred it around. When he took it out, half of his finger was stained red.

"I am now using formations to limit the growth of ghost fetuses and minimize the harm to you. The process will be very painful, please bear with it." He said, about to apply it on my stomach.

I thought of the devastating pain before, and quickly sat up to stop him, "Wait, wait, wait! What... do you have anesthetic here? Why don't you knock me out first?"

"Okay." he said.

Then he slashed it down with a knife, and I screamed and lost consciousness.

…

When I woke up, Han Jiuchen was no longer in the room.

I sat up and twisted my neck, grinning in pain. Thinking back to the previous incident, I cursed Han Jiuchen in my heart.

I looked outside and it was already dark.
