Little Brats, You've Finally Come Out

"Everyone, please come in with me."

Master Li's expression was complex, his attitude respectful as he gently pushed open the wooden door before them.

"Ling Nu, I'm coming in..."

Lu Jun also saw the situation clearly inside the room.

The room was spacious but messy, with countless torn silk cloths scattered on the floor, along with many metal utensils that had fallen.

As the only woman among the group, Fang Yilin couldn't help but sigh when she saw these metal utensils and wooden objects. Alas, the hearts of parents.

Clearly, Master Li was worried that his daughter might cut herself on broken porcelain, so he had replaced everything with objects that were not easily damaged.

Lu Jun glanced briefly at the room's layout, then his eyes immediately fixed on the area with the densest demonic energy and resentment, which was the bedside of the young lady of the Li family.

The Li family's young lady's bed was covered by a thin veil, but the veil already had many snagged threads, clearly indicating that the young lady had torn at it frequently during her suffering.

However, through the light filtering through, one could still see her greatly distended belly and her emaciated, skeletal frame.

"Daddy, I'm so hungry... I want to eat something..." the woman whispered through the thin veil.

Master Li hurried over, his expression pained as he held his daughter's withered hand and gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ling Nu, Daddy has invited a physician for you. You'll get better, everything will be alright..."

At this moment, Old Man Yun also came to the bedside and gently lifted the veil.

Li Tuo and Fang Yilin couldn't help but gasp.

The girl before them wore a white undergarment, her cheeks sunken, her skin pale. She looked nothing like a normal young girl, more like a skeleton with skin stretched over it.

In contrast, her belly was twice the size of a normal pregnant woman's, exposed and covered with terrifying black and purple veins. Occasionally, a small hand would press from the inside against her stomach.

It looked horrifying and bizarre.

As a woman herself, Fang Yilin's eyes were filled with pity, and she said with a heavy expression, "Lord Golden Robe, is... is there any way?"

Old Man Yun's face also lost its usual relaxed and casual expression, replaced by a look of solemnity.

After examining for a long time, Old Man Yun finally spoke.

"Let's talk outside."

The five of them went to a side room next to the main room.

All eyes turned to Old Man Yun.

Old Man Yun sighed leisurely, "Alas, it's very difficult."

"The ghost fetus has been gestating for too long. If it were discovered in the early stages, when the life sources of the two were not yet completely connected, I could have used my True Qi to protect the girl's body and fuse the ghost fetus within her..."

"But now, the ghost fetus is basically merged with the girl... Unless the ghost fetus is willing to leave voluntarily and sever the connection between their life sources, they will rise and fall together..."

"Ah..." Master Li instantly slumped onto a nearby chair, his spirit and energy collapsing with him. He almost fell off the chair.

Fortunately, Old Man Yun caught him in time.

Old Man Yun said softly, "I only said that I have no way, but I didn't say the Demon Slaying Division has no way."

"Currently, the ghost fetus has about half a month left to gestate. I will write a letter to the Yunzhou Demon Slaying Division to see if there is a solution."

Master Li's eyes were filled with hope as he repeatedly kowtowed his thanks.

Afterward, Lu Jun and the others did not return to the inn but stayed at the Li Mansion under Master Li's warm hospitality.

Night fell, and all was silent.

Lu Jun opened his eyes on the bed, the silver pattern on his forehead faintly shimmering.

Wait ten-odd days to deal with the ghost fetus?

Wouldn't that mean he'd still be lost for ten days!

In those ten days, how many demons could he kill!

And Ye Chen, who had threatened him while escaping.

It was almost the next day.

He never let grudges fester; he dealt with them immediately.

Letting him live through another night made Lu Jun feel like ants were crawling all over him.

Lu Jun couldn't wait, not even for a moment.

Lu Jun raised his hand, and the clothes by the bed drifted into his hand with a surge of wind.

After dressing neatly, he moved lightly and silently out of the room.

He had already cast Kyōka Suigetsu throughout the entire Li Mansion. Everyone was asleep, their five senses weakened, and this weakening was silent and imperceptible.

Lu Jun went to the Li family's young lady's room without hesitation.

On the bed, the girl's face was still contorted, her skin stretched tightly over her bones, like a dried corpse.

Even in her sleep, fine sweat beaded on her forehead, likely due to a deep nightmare.

Lu Jun said nothing and gently snapped his fingers. Instantly, the power of Kyōka Suigetsu enveloped the girl.

The girl's brows relaxed at an extremely fast pace.

"My child... my child..."

A hoarse, deep voice sounded in the ghost fetus's ear.

Covered in black, with black veins all over its body and white pupils, the ghost fetus suddenly opened its eyes.

This voice!

It was his mother!

His biological mother!

Not the weak and boring human mother outside.

"Mother!"

"Mother!"

Intense excitement suddenly erupted in the ghost fetus's white eyes.

Soon, a pitch-black figure also materialized before its eyes.

The figure was tall, maintaining a woman's shape, but with thousands of slender, ferocious arms at its sides. Its face was covered by a strange black veil, making its true features impossible to discern.

"Mother! Mother! I'm so hungry! These humans and animals won't give me food!"

"You found me a servant, but you still won't give me blood to eat!"

"Mother! I'm so uncomfortable!"

The ghost fetus's voice was choked with sobs.

The woman gently beckoned and pulled the ghost fetus back into her embrace. "My child... you've suffered..."

In the woman's arms, the ghost fetus cried sadly like an ordinary child.

"My child... your mother... cannot bear it... cannot bear to see you in such pain..."

"My child... your mother has found you a new servant again. He has found a new mother nest for you outside. That mother nest is also a precious Law Seeker..."

"I've sent him to bring you to a better life..."

The ghost fetus's eyes lit up, shimmering with greed. It hugged the woman and rubbed its head vigorously against her chest.

"Mother! You're so good to me!"

The woman also raised her hand and gently stroked the ghost fetus's bald, black head. "My child, you are my child, of course, I will treat you extremely well..."

The ghost fetus was already unbearable with hunger and thirst.

Indeed, only mother in this world is good!

In this mother nest, he couldn't eat or sleep well. The mother body outside would sometimes throw things around and hit him on the stomach. He had endured this smelly woman for a long time.

"Mother, I'll break open my belly now to find the new servant you brought me!"

The woman gently stroked the ghost fetus and softly comforted, "My child... no, you can't break open your belly... this woman is still a very good mother body. After you've fed well on her, she can still be a mother nest for your younger brothers and sisters. You can't kill her."

"You are my mother's favorite child, and mother is willing to give you the best Law Seeker mother nest, but my child, you must be generous and leave a mother nest for your younger brothers and sisters..."

The ghost fetus was moved and nodded repeatedly, saying, "I understand, Mother... I will sever my life connection with this woman and make room for my younger brothers and sisters... I'm the best."

The woman's voice became even more affectionate. "That's right, you are my mother's most obedient child..."

"Mother can't wait to meet you!"

Lu Jun's lips curved slightly, and a ferocity gleamed in his indifferent eyes. He muttered softly, "That's right, child, I can't wait to meet you either..."

Before Lu Jun's eyes.

Miss Li Mansion's belly rippled slightly, and Miss Li's face contorted in pain again.

The next second, Miss Li Mansion's mouth suddenly opened wide, followed by a bout of dry heaving.

Then, a small, pitch-black hand with black fingernails suddenly emerged from Miss Li Mansion's mouth.

Next came the head, body, and legs, until the ghost fetus's shriveled body completely crawled out of Miss Li Mansion's mouth.

As the ghost fetus crawled out, it immediately began to absorb the surrounding True Qi. Its originally shriveled body quickly became full, but it remained extremely ugly.

A demon embryo, completely black, with eyes like the murky white of dead fish, and a few tufts of hair on its head, exuding an arrogant expression, floated nakedly before Lu Jun.

It glanced up and down at Lu Jun, pulling at the corners of its mouth arrogantly. "You are the new servant my mother found for me!"

"This child is hungry, take me to the new mother nest!!"

Lu Jun smiled, but made no sound. His lips curved to an extreme, and his handsome face held a hint of yandere and ferocity.

"You little bastard, you finally tricked me out!!!"

The ghost fetus was stunned. Before it could react, it felt a sense of dread and immediately wanted to escape back into Miss Li Mansion's abdomen below.

But its speed was still too slow.

Soon, it was grabbed by Lu Jun's swiftly extended hand, his fingers clamping around its neck.

"I tricked you out, do you think I'll let you go back?"

Before the ghost fetus could let out a scream, Lu Jun directly crushed its throat bones.

Lu Jun's voice sounded like a devil's whisper in the ghost fetus's ears: "Little one, it was truly difficult to meet you!"

"Don't worry! I will definitely make sure you die in great discomfort and filled with pain..."

The ghost fetus's face was filled with terror.

Lu Jun used his Spiritual Power, Soaring Wind, to condense the wind into a high-pressure wind layer barrier in his hand, then trapped the ghost fetus within it.

Under the high pressure, the ghost fetus's body was crushed inch by inch.

The chilling sound of bone shattering echoed throughout the large room.

A moment later, Lu Jun walked out of the Li family's young lady's room.

[Killed demon, great evil ghost fetus, mastered its innate evolving Spiritual Power--Essence Siphon]

[Essence Siphon: Plunders the life force of creatures incapable of resistance, and feeds it back to oneself, usable for healing injuries and restoring True Qi]

[Demon Essence: 3100]

Lu Jun gently raised his head, looking at the bright moonlight, a slight curve forming on the corner of his lips.

"Next, it's your turn, Ye Chen..."

"Are you ready?"

"I'm coming for you."
