Married the Second Generation Fox Demon with a Baby in a Flash Marriage (GL) - Chapter 20
“This little thing’s fluctuations suddenly intensified. Feel carefully, right here. Try to envelop it with your spiritual energy; you should be able to sense it,” Shen Qingyi said, noticing Ye Xinyu’s expression, and holding her wrist to check, her finger pointing to Ye Xinyu’s lower abdomen.
Ye Xinyu placed her hand on her abdomen and carefully tried to sense as Shen Qingyi instructed. There was indeed a fluctuation of spiritual energy there.
The flow of spiritual energy in her body now had a source.
So it was this little thing!
Had it been protesting when they talked about terminating it just now?
Ye Xinyu felt a slight ache in her heart.
“Humans and demons walk different paths. For a demon fetus to gestate in a human body is inherently extremely difficult. To be able to gestate at all is a matter of fortune and opportunity. It’s fragile yet tenacious. It has already been gestating in your body for some time. Don’t let its current weakness fool you; if you really want to terminate it, it will cost you a lot of energy. Unlike a human embryo miscarriage, terminating it requires using Daoist medical talismans. Forcibly removing it will cause irreparable damage to your body, making future pregnancies difficult, and your cultivation will never improve. Afterwards, you will also be unable to use your spiritual energy for about half a year,” Shen Qingyi said, looking at Ye Xinyu.
“Then, what’s the way to keep it?” Ye Xinyu asked after a moment of contemplation.
“Unless you can get the demon who impregnated you to help you gestate this little thing together. I don’t know the specifics of how they gestate; demons have their own methods. However, a demon fetus is inherently different from a human fetus, and the gestation period is also somewhat different from humans. One thing is the same: both rely on the mother’s body for growth and require the mother to provide sufficient energy and nutrients, and a demon fetus will need even more. Human structure and nutrient intake cannot satisfy it. Even if you refine spiritual energy for it and the supply is sufficient, nutrition is another aspect. In nearly a hundred years, I haven’t seen a successful birth of a human-demon hybrid. Especially not one like yours that needs so much spiritual energy even in the early embryonic stage. Even if that demon helps you gestate together, there’s still a very high risk. Are you sure you want to keep it?” Shen Qingyi’s expression became more solemn.
“Thank you, Doctor Shen. I’ll consider it. Please keep this a secret for me and don’t tell anyone else about this,” Ye Xinyu said, looking at Shen Qingyi. If she really needed that fox’s help, it wouldn’t be just her own affair.
It seemed she had to capture it as soon as possible no matter what.
“Our Shen family treats humans and demons equally. For us, they are all our clients, and protecting client privacy is our professional ethics. You can rest assured about this,” Shen Qingyi raised an eyebrow and said.
“Thank you, Doctor Shen. Doctor Shen, do you have any suggestions or methods?” Ye Xinyu asked.
“I’d like to ask first, what kind of demon is this little one? It’s not yet formed, so I can’t tell,” Shen Qingyi asked.
“Fox type, probably a branch of amber red foxes,” Ye Xinyu said.
“I have some fetus-protecting pills specifically for fox demons. I’ll have someone get them for you later. Try taking them to temporarily supplement the nutrients the fetus needs. You’ll need to absorb spiritual energy yourself. You’d better not use spiritual power to stimulate spiritual energy recently, and don’t do strenuous exercise. Cultivate your mind and nature, ensure your body is in an environment rich in spiritual energy, and keep your mood better. This way, you’ll feel better. Otherwise, if you can’t keep it and miscarry, the damage to your body will be even greater,” Shen Qingyi said.
Shen Qingyi gave Ye Xinyu a few more instructions and then left.
Ye Xinyu lay on the hospital bed, her hand on her lower abdomen. Only by carefully sensing could she feel the fluctuations of spiritual energy there.
Thinking about the tiny fox in her belly, the tiny fox that would grow red fur and large amber-red eyes, looking fluffy and round, Ye Xinyu couldn’t bear to terminate it in its embryonic stage.
Moreover, it seemed to have a spirit and was protesting.
But how could she keep it?
Where was that fox now?
Just as Ye Xinyu was deep in thought, her phone rang.
“Xinyu, I saw quite a commotion at Binhe Avenue yesterday. How are you?” A concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Tong Qiao.
“I’m fine,” Ye Xinyu said.
“That’s good. Will you be returning to school soon? Our martial arts club’s new members need to have a meeting. When will you be back? I’ll arrange a meeting for the new members and let you see a few people with good talent,” Tong Qiao said.
“I’ll go there tomorrow morning. You organize it,” Ye Xinyu said.
Her main problem was that the little thing in her belly needed to absorb energy. As long as she rested and absorbed and refined spiritual energy to supply its growth, her body would only be slightly tired, and there were no other immediate issues.
“So soon? Won’t you rest more?” Tong Qiao said.
“No need. I also want to go to school and take a look,” Ye Xinyu said.
Ye Xinyu remembered the first time she saw that fox, it was wearing a freshman military training uniform. If it hadn’t run away, would it still be at school?
She had previously used detection tools to scan Fengcheng University, but it wasn’t there.
She had also looked through the photos of the freshmen and hadn’t found anyone resembling it. Perhaps she had missed something. She would go to the school and see first.
***
Hu Mengmeng received a notification in the martial arts club’s new members’ group chat in the afternoon, saying that there would be a meeting at 9 o’clock the next morning. It mentioned that the president, Ye Xinyu, would attend, and the group was in an uproar.
Hu Mengmeng had seen and heard the name Ye Xinyu many times.
In short, she was someone else’s child, outstanding and unattainable.
Hu Mengmeng didn’t feel much about being able to meet her. She only hoped that this so-called president would live up to her name and teach her some real skills.
The next morning, Hu Mengmeng had no classes. She ate breakfast and read a book at her rented place for a while. When the time came, she went to the training ground for the meeting.
The martial arts club’s training ground was upstairs near the sports field. Inside, there were sandbags, protective gear, human-shaped dummies, sticks, and other equipment.
Hu Mengmeng didn’t arrive early. When she got there, there were already several people inside. Hu Mengmeng immediately saw Lin Yunya and her follower, Gu Mingzhen.
Among the two of them, Lin Yunya, like Hu Mengmeng, was a probationary member, while Gu Mingzhen was an extra-curricular logistics person.
Gu Mingzhen’s logistics seemed to be solely for Lin Yunya, carrying a water bottle and backpack, while Lin Yunya was lightly dressed.
When Hu Mengmeng entered, the people inside naturally looked at her.
“Hu Mengmeng, over here!” Tong Qiao saw Hu Mengmeng and waved her over. Tong Qiao valued Hu Mengmeng quite a bit.
Hu Mengmeng walked over, and Lin Yunya and the others were also by Tong Qiao’s side.
“Uh, are you Hu Mengmeng? Hu Mengmeng from Taolin County?” Gu Mingzhen said in surprise when she saw Hu Mengmeng.
“Mm. Hello,” Hu Mengmeng said, looking at them, considering it a greeting.
Hu Mengmeng had lost weight to below a hundred pounds and had grown to 1.7 meters tall. Her sportswear made her look tall and slender, and her whole person had changed a lot from the former chubby, nerdy girl to a delicate and cute young beauty.
As former classmates, they were naturally shocked, especially since it had only been about two months.
Hu Mengmeng glanced at Lin Yunya, wondering how she would react.
Hu Mengmeng’s initial strong desire to lose weight was to make Lin Yunya not dislike her and to restore their childhood relationship.
Now, when Hu Mengmeng saw Lin Yunya, her feelings had faded a lot, but she still cherished their childhood friendship and cared about Lin Yunya.
However, at this moment, Lin Yunya didn’t even look at Hu Mengmeng. She seemed absent-minded, her brow furrowed, showing no interest in Hu Mengmeng’s transformation.
Hu Mengmeng felt a little disappointed.
“Are you high school classmates?” Tong Qiao asked curiously.
“Yeah, you don’t know how fat Hu Mengmeng used to be. I didn’t expect her to lose so much weight in just one summer vacation,” Gu Mingzhen said.
Tong Qiao asked a few curious questions, and as the others spoke, Hu Mengmeng replied a few times. Then, Tong Qiao called the rest of the people over, and everyone introduced themselves.
“President Ye is here. I’ll go pick up President Ye. You all wait a moment,” After a while, Tong Qiao’s phone rang. She looked at it, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
Several new members were a bit excited.
Tong Qiao went to pick up the person, and the others chatted among themselves.
Hu Mengmeng found a mat and sat down, touching the bell on her neck. That day, after taking the bell from Ye Xinyu, she had washed and wiped it clean, found a red string, re-threaded it, and hung it around her neck.
This little thing had been with her for more than ten years. After being separated for a few days, she had missed it quite a bit.
However, at this moment, Lin Yunya’s attitude had changed Hu Mengmeng’s mood somewhat.
Should this thing be returned to its rightful owner? What was the point of keeping it? To commemorate childhood?
She had brought breakfast for Lin Yunya throughout their senior year of high school, helped with chores, and even saved her once by the river. Maybe they were truly even now.
While Hu Mengmeng was lost in thought, Lin Yunya and Gu Mingzhen were talking.
Lin Yunya looked somewhat nervous, her brow furrowed.
Lin Yunya had been pulled down by the water demon by the river two days ago and had been quite frightened, also sustaining some injuries with scrapes on her arms and legs.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have come to such a gathering, but since Ye Xinyu might be there, she naturally wouldn’t miss it.
“Xiao Ya, what’s wrong? You haven’t looked happy since you came in. Aren’t you happy to see Senior Ye?” Gu Mingzhen asked Lin Yunya.
“Senior Ye was also by the river that day. I wonder how Senior Ye is doing, if she’s alright. I was only concerned with my own fear and delayed saving Senior Ye. That girl who saved me and Senior Ye were both dragged into the river!” Lin Yunya said with some self-reproach.
She had been rescued ashore by Hu Mengmeng and was completely terrified. After Gu Mingzhen and her bodyguard-driver arrived, she was only focused on her fear. By the time she thought of Ye Xinyu, there was no trace of Ye Xinyu on the riverbank steps.
Not long after, police cars, boats, and helicopters surrounded the riverbank, and she had become even more frightened.
“Xiao Ya, don’t be nervous, and don’t blame yourself. Senior Ye won’t blame you. Isn’t she alright now? She’s even coming to the new members’ meeting,” Gu Mingzhen comforted Lin Yunya, as she had been there at the time.
“Senior Ye must have a very bad impression of me now. She won’t like me anymore,” Lin Yunya said, troubled.
Gu Mingzhen patted Lin Yunya and whispered comforting words.
Hu Mengmeng had used most of her spiritual energy to suppress her bloodline, but her body had been nourished by spiritual energy, and her senses had improved a lot. In the same training ground, not too far away and without any obstacles, she could hear everything they were saying clearly.
Lin Yunya liked that Senior Ye?
No, “Senior Ye,” “fell into the river” – these words sounded somewhat familiar. Hu Mengmeng, whose bloodline suppression had made her reaction a half-beat slower, suddenly stood up.
Could this Senior Ye be that demon hunter?!
Having martial arts skills and good looks, if it was indeed that demon hunter, it seemed to fit.
Hu Mengmeng felt a chill starting from the soles of her feet. She couldn’t stay here!
Hu Mengmeng hid the bell inside her collar and quickly took two steps towards the door. Before she reached it, she heard footsteps. Then, two people entered through the door. The one leading the way was cold and beautiful, with long, straight black hair parted in the middle, wearing a long black trench coat over a loose white shirt and fitted jeans. She walked with a gust of wind, like a supermodel on a runway, step by step, landing right on Hu Mengmeng’s heart.
Hu Mengmeng stared blankly for a moment before sharply pinching herself.
Holy crap, it was real, it was real!
Hadn’t she just delivered herself to the doorstep?!
Hu Mengmeng felt her heart about to jump out of her chest.
She really wanted to jump out the window and run, but her thoughts and actions weren’t in sync.
“No, I’m safe now!” Hu Mengmeng thought after turning around.
She had been transformed when she met Ye Xinyu. Now she was suppressing her aura and bloodline state. Who could recognize her?!
Given Ye Xinyu’s previous display, if she knew what Hu Mengmeng looked like now, wouldn’t she have come to capture her long ago?
Hu Mengmeng forced herself to calm down.
If she ran away now, it would definitely be a case of “a guilty conscience needs no accuser.” In broad daylight, catching her would be much easier than at night.
Hu Mengmeng turned around stiffly, constantly cheering herself up and adjusting her expression to reassure herself. Meanwhile, the approaching Ye Xinyu was greeting several new members under Tong Qiao’s introduction.
“Hu Mengmeng, come over here, this is our great President Ye!” Tong Qiao enthusiastically called Hu Mengmeng over.
“Xinyu, look, isn’t she different?” Tong Qiao said to Ye Xinyu after calling Hu Mengmeng over.
“Mm, she is somewhat different,” Ye Xinyu said, narrowing her eyes as she looked in Hu Mengmeng’s direction.
