Enchantress Amongst Alchemists Ghost King is Wife

“Yue Er.” Yao Yun Qing looked at Mu Ru Yue and smiled faintly. “Since you’re here, I don’t plan to head back to the academy yet. But I don’t know if anything else happened in the academy after I left…”

Mu Ru Yue shook her head. “Nothing happened at the academy. But…”

Mu Ru Yue lowered her head toward her lower abdomen as she spoke with a dazzling smile. She had withdrawn all of her coldness and was like a gentle mother looking meticulously at her child.

Yao Yun Qing followed her gaze to her lower abdomen. She was stunned for a moment before she clarified, “Yue Er, it can’t be you are already…”

“Mhm!” Mu Ru Yue nodded. “I am already pregnant.”

The sudden news startled Yao Yun Qing. When she came back to her senses, her face brimmed with joy. She gripped Mu Ru Yue’s hand and asked jubilantly, “You… you are really pregnant?”

Yao Yun Qing was really excited for Mu Ru Yue.

Even though the people from the Yao family treated her well, she didn’t feel a homely feeling from them. She was still hooked up on her Hua Xia identity. Thus, Mu Ru Yue was her sole family member in this foreign land.

It was due to this reason that the two girls that didn’t know each other at all came together.

“Cough! Cough!” Zhang Lin coughed dryly as he swept a gaze at Mu Ru Yue’s lower abdomen. “Little girl, this old man knows fortune-telling. How about I help you check on the lifeline of your child?”

Mu Ru Yue was slightly stunned before she nodded. “I will have to trouble you then.”

“It is not a trouble. You are a friend of the eldest young mistress. It is natural that I help you. I am not boasting, but my fortune-telling ability is really good.”

Zhang Lin stood up smilingly and focused on Mu Ru Yue’s palm. Slowly, his brows creased as a trace of astonishment that flashed in his eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Ru Yue’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be there was something wrong with her child?

Zhang Lin snapped out from his shock after hearing the girl’s voice. With doubt being expressed on his elderly face, he muttered, “This is really strange. I can clearly feel life in your lower abdomen, but it is growing too slowly…”

“What do you mean by growing too slowly?”

“I am also unsure about that. Little girl, how long have you been impregnated?” Zhang Lin shook his head as this was his first time facing such a case.

Mu Ru Yue frowned. “It is already the fourth month.”

“Four months? That’s not right. The life pulse of your child doesn’t seem to be at the fourth month. It can only be said that your child is too strange. Little girl, that child of yours will not be borned soon with your current condition. Its growth needs too much energy and it is impossible for you to supply it now. Hence, it will take at least three to five years for it to born.”

Mu Ru Yue didn’t reply as she remained silent in thoughts.

‘It is certain now that it is this child in my womb that scared the Tao Tie away previously. Furthermore, it can cultivate inside my womb. I just don’t know its origin…’
