Why Does Everyone Want Me Dead?

Lin Luo knitted his still-developing brows tightly.

Did this woman really hate him so much? She wanted him dead!

But if you drink poisoned wine, won't you be poisoned to death too?

Stupid!

Just as Lin Luo was floundering helplessly in the amniotic fluid, he suddenly heard anxious voices outside.

"Young mistress!"

"Good thing the Great Enshrined had us stand guard in advance!"

"Quick! Find a healing Soul Master! The young mistress drank poisoned wine!"

In Qian Renxue's room, one maid poured out the poisoned wine while another immediately went to fetch a healing Soul Master.

Spirit Hall's healing Soul Master was an old woman with a head of white hair, whose Soul Power was as high as level 89.

In just one minute, she drew out all the poisoned wine Qian Renxue had drunk.

"Your Holiness, please rest assured. The young mistress is out of danger, and the child is fine too."

The old woman smiled and tucked Qian Renxue's slender, fair arm back under the covers.

Bibi Dong nodded and raised a hand, dismissing the old woman and the other servants in the room.

She stared at Qian Renxue, pale and unconscious, then looked at her slightly swollen belly beneath the covers.

Why...

Why did the same thing happen to her as it did to me?

Bibi Dong bit the corner of her lip.

But that slight pain was nothing compared to the suffering she had endured for the past twenty years.

Gradually, a cold glint appeared in Bibi Dong's beautiful purple eyes.

She had to get rid of this child!

Although her feelings for Qian Renxue were exceedingly complicated, and she even felt that whether Qian Renxue lived or died had nothing to do with her,

she was unwilling to let her own daughter suffer the same fate as her.

That terrifying event haunted her day and night like a curse.

No, this won't do! The child must be eliminated!

Rather than let this happen, it would be better for Qian Renxue to die outright.

Having settled on this thought, Bibi Dong slowly walked toward the bed.

She raised her right hand, purple patterns spreading across her five curved fingers.

Just as Bibi Dong prepared to strike Qian Renxue's belly with her palm,

a burst of golden light erupted from Qian Renxue's belly in an instant!

The golden light blasted Bibi Dong's hand away and sent her body flying!

"Boom!"

Bibi Dong's back smashed through a wall dozens of centimeters thick, and her body plummeted like a meteor onto Spirit Hall's plaza hundreds of meters away!

"Ugh-"

She spat blood and passed out.

In her current body, she was utterly incapable of withstanding such unparalleled power.

This power utterly crushed her in terms of rank.

Meanwhile,

Lin Luo silently withdrew the palm he had thrust out inside Qian Renxue's belly.

At the same time, he let out a mournful sigh.

Great, I survived another day.

It was precisely because he still possessed that last sliver of divine power that Lin Luo was certain he had hope of reshaping his divine body.

But just now, he had used that last sliver of divine power to resist Bibi Dong.

Originally, Lin Luo could have used that sliver of divine power as a medium to reshape his divine body after he was born.

He was a God King, after all. He was still capable of that much.

But now...

Do I have to live another life as a Soul Master?

Lin Luo harbored hatred in his heart, and he would never allow Tang San to develop faster than him in this life.

Qian Renxue was currently eighteen, so Tang San should be nine and would have awakened his Martial Soul three years ago.

No...

Before I'm weaned, I must gain at least six years' worth of Growth Value!

Then, as soon as I'm weaned, I can awaken my Martial Soul.

When the time comes, I'll wait for the system to upgrade, then use it to grow stronger at breakneck speed.

If he wanted revenge, he had to grow faster than Tang San.

That hypocrite-I really can't stand seeing him alive and well!

Even now, Lin Luo had no idea how he had offended the guy, yet he had stabbed him straight in the back.

Damn it.

While Lin Luo was thinking, several Soul Masters with powerful presences suddenly rushed into the room, which had lost one of its walls.

Qian Daoliu swept his sleeve, and the dust on the floor scattered on the wind. The space around his precious granddaughter's bed and her body became spotless in an instant.

"What happened?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had hurried over after hearing the commotion, asked in astonishment.

The whole room looked as though a tornado had swept through it, leaving it in a hideous state.

Qian Daoliu shook his head gravely. "I don't know. Bibi Dong collapsed in the plaza. She must have suffered an extremely powerful attack."

But the two of them looked around the room. Aside from Qian Renxue, the only one who could have attacked Bibi Dong...

was...

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile looked at Qian Renxue's belly at the same time, then silently exchanged a glance.

Impossible, impossible...

After a long while, Qian Daoliu finally spoke.

"Whatever the case, this child of unknown origin cannot live. Once he's born, let him see the sun one last time..."

Lin Luo's expression stiffened a little.

So many people want me dead?

Qian Renxue wanted to kill him, Bibi Dong wanted to kill him, and now Qian Daoliu wanted to kill him too?

Why harbor so much malice toward an unborn child?

Lin Luo truly regretted it. He should have taken up residence in an ordinary woman's belly from the start.

But instead, he had taken up residence in the belly of the most dangerous woman on the entire continent!

Qian Daoliu had no idea what the fetus was thinking at that moment.

He sat silently at the bedside, stroking Qian Renxue's pale cheek, his expression full of heartache.

"My Xue'er is still a child herself..."

A day later.

Qian Renxue woke up in a new room.

She sat up and looked at herself, safe and sound, then at her belly, also safe and sound.

She and her belly stared at each other for a second.

The next moment, Qian Renxue swung up the pillow beside her and began pounding her belly with it.

"Who are you? Why are you in my belly?"

"I've never even touched a man!"

"How am I supposed to be Crown Prince Xue Qinghe with a big belly?"

Qian Renxue was so angry she cried. She threw the pillow aside and clenched her fist, but just as she was about to bring it down on her belly,

her belly moved.

Qian Renxue froze, a trace of surprise appearing on her pale little face.

She swallowed silently and sat at the bedside, gently placing both hands over her belly as she quietly felt the movement inside.

Suddenly, there was another stir inside her belly, and Qian Renxue raised her little hands as if she had been shocked.

Her pretty face went pale with fright. She immediately climbed onto the bed, widened her beautiful eyes, and pointed at her belly, her lovely face grave as she threatened it:

"Y-y-you! You... damned brat! Don't get cocky! My grandfather is Spirit Hall's Great Enshrined! He's a level 99 Peerless Douluo!"

Qian Renxue, who had no experience whatsoever with such matters, couldn't help letting her imagination run wild and treating the fetus as an enemy.

In fact, she had already thought the child in her belly was of mysterious origin.

Because she knew she had never touched a man.

So the child might be a demon incarnate!

But she didn't know that every pregnant woman experienced fetal movement and that it was normal.

Gradually, her belly grew still.

Qian Renxue had just breathed a sigh of relief when the thing in her belly moved again the next moment.

The blond girl burst into tears with a "Wah!" and hurried toward the door. "Grand-!"

Having uttered just one word, Qian Renxue immediately shut her mouth again.

She didn't want to ask her grandfather for help.

She was clearly frightened, anxious, and miserable, but her grandfather couldn't put himself in her shoes at all. Instead, he had angrily questioned her.

With no other choice, Qian Renxue obediently sat back down on the bed, though fear was still written across her pale little face.

"You... don't move. If you keep moving, I'll hit you!"

She lowered her head and quickly clenched her little fists as she threatened it.

And the next moment, the thing in her belly really did stop moving.

Seeing how obedient it was, Qian Renxue looked a little surprised, tears still covering her pretty face.

She said tentatively, "Y-you have to be good. From now on, you're not allowed to move, and I won't hit you either."
