This feeling made me anxious. Although this child wasn't what I wanted, I usually didn't feel his presence.

But I know he is.

Furthermore, he had saved me more than once. As a mother, how could I bear to watch my child be killed before my eyes?

Since ancient times, the execution grounds had always been a place of murder.

Hearing Mu Chen say this, the first taboo of the Dao had a mention of "sleeping without words, killing without words during the afternoon, fighting without words during the night, not talking about ghosts or gods" mentioned, and no one dared to talk about killing during the afternoon.

Because in ancient times, when criminals were killed, it was noon at a quarter to one, which was at noon, at the most noon.

As the saying goes, the Yin is the Yin, and the Yin is the Yang. Thus, at noon, the Yin Qi is at its strongest. The reason why they chose this time to kill the prisoners was to allow the prisoners to quickly enter the Yin Valley and enter the cycle of reincarnation to leave the Sea of Bitterness.

It seems that Huang Chengyun had deliberately chosen this time as preparation. A person with an extremely yin constitution like mine is, at this moment, the weakest of the body.

When the sun was at its brightest, it was not only me, but also the child in my belly.

No matter how powerful he was, he was still an unformed fetus, and my stomach continued to ache.

Every time Huang Chengyun hit the willow branch on my hand, I felt the pain in my stomach increase.

The premonition in my heart was growing stronger and stronger, as if something was slowly fading away.

No!

No!

Even if the child in my belly isn't human, I can't bear to see him hurt.

I don't know where I got the strength from, but I suddenly stood up, used my shoulder to knock Huang Chengyun away, and then started to run.

"Quick, catch him! Don't let him escape!"

"Hurry up!"

I somewhat underestimated the power of what Huang Chengyun had just said. As expected, people are selfish and blind, no matter what, as long as they threaten their own safety, they would mercilessly kill them.

I had only run a few steps, but Huang Chengyun had yet to speak, when the villagers already took the initiative to attack and caught me.

In order to prevent me from escaping, they tied me to the willow tree. As I approached the willow tree, I saw that there were a lot of ghosts hanging on the tree.

They looked at me with a wistful expression, not just towards me, but the villagers as well.

My body was bound.

Two ghosts approached.

"Another human has arrived!"

The ghost dressed in white said in a high-pitched voice.

"What humans, I think they'll be the same as us soon!" Another ghost that was wearing a set of green clothes said in a cold voice.

"That's true …"

"She looks a little strange!" The ghost dressed in green said.

The man in white looked at me and sized me up before nodding. "It is indeed a little strange. He isn't dead yet. His yin aura is even heavier than ours!"

I didn't say anything as I curiously sized them up. From their clothes, they should be old ghosts that had died hundreds of years ago.

"There's something good in her stomach!"

After a while, the ghost dressed in green spoke.

"Wa, it seems to be true!" After saying that in surprise, she became even more interested in me. "What is the background of this young lady?"

"If you want to know, why not just ask me?"

I looked at their pale smiles and made up my mind.

The white robed ghost was so frightened that he immediately fell down from the tree. He looked at me in terror. "Qingming, she can actually see us!"

I was amused by his teasing look. The expression on the ghost called Qingming, who was dressed in white, turned serious.

I was about to continue speaking, when I saw Huang Chengyun bringing everyone towards me.

He glanced at them and said, "All of you, hurry up and hide. That evil Taoist is very powerful!"

Seeing that they didn't have any intentions towards me, I reminded them in a low voice.

The two ghosts looked at each other, then disappeared.

Just as they disappeared, Huang Chengyun had already arrived in front of me. When he looked at me this time, his face had already turned gloomy and cold.

He reached out his hand and broke a handful of willow branches. Then, he started to whip me.

"Huang Lingyue, if you do not repent and question the protection of this Yin Fetus, then don't blame your grandfather for not showing mercy!"

It seemed that he really had put his heart into it this time. The pain of the willow branch hitting my body made me gasp continuously, and the pain in my stomach became more and more obvious.

Under Huang Chengyun's enticing slaps, I felt that the child in my stomach had slowly stopped struggling.

I felt my nerves tighten. Was the baby dying?

I quickly soothed the baby in my stomach, and the baby seemed to sense my thoughts. It moved a little towards me, and then it stopped moving.

Huang Chengyun and his son became anxious, it was not easy to lure them out, but now they were stunned, how could they be willing to do so?

The child was indeed young, and this time I was tied to a willow tree.

It didn't take long for me to feel that the child in my belly had a sense of isolation...

Just then, Huang Chengyun took out a bag of red powder from his back, preparing to sprinkle it onto the child when he comes out.

Looking at that color, I already had the answer in my heart. That thing should be cinnabar.

Red sand, even yang items, was commonly used in talismans drawn by exorcism.

When I saw the cinnabar, I couldn't help but recall the words that Taoist Ling Yun had said yesterday.

Huang Chengyun observed my body, a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face, and the hand holding the cinnabar slowly rose.

"Don't hurt him, don't …"

I kept shaking my head, trying to stop Huang Chengyun's actions.

"No, no matter how much blood you want, I'll give it to you. Don't hurt him …"

"Hmph, what do I need your blood for. You went against the heavens and gave birth to a ghost embryo, and I did it for the sake of the common people of the world. Lingyue, don't blame Grandfather for being ruthless!"

"What a joke. You clearly did it for your own selfish desire, but yet you say it in such a dignified manner. You really don't feel ashamed!"

When I looked at Huang Chengyun's ugly face, I felt disgusted.

"Nonsense, I can't tolerate you!"

Huang Chengyun became angry from the embarrassment. It was probably because he was worried that I would continue speaking, but he raised his hand and sprinkled the cinnabar onto my head and stomach.

I felt like I couldn't move, and my child couldn't move either.

When Huang Chengyun put down the willow branch in his hand, he smugly glanced at me. When he turned around, he immediately changed into the appearance of a kind old man.

He said to the villagers, "Fellow villagers, just now, I had already taught this foolish granddaughter of mine a lesson. She is still young and doesn't understand, please let her go. I will let the Yin Fetus in her stomach go once I return home …"
