From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 223: Chapter 229: Candid Talk with Mu Huanqing (Part 1)_1

After they met, Fang Ren immediately went to the street to buy a duckbill cap, as he was now a person of focus, with many eyes in the crowded Tianjiang.

If he were to be seen by crowds on the street, he would definitely not be able to avoid being surrounded and gawked at, and even Mu Huanqing's identity might be exposed.

"Qing'er, why do I feel like your belly has grown again?"

Walking towards the park, Fang Ren's gaze kept drifting to Mu Huanqing's abdomen from time to time; he felt it was much bigger than last time.

Mu Huanqing saw him noticing this and laughed, "Actually, it's much bigger than what you see."

Fang Ren blinked, "What do you mean?"

Mu Huanqing explained, "Last time, little Qianye did awaken the baby's Spirit Form, and since then, the baby has been growing very rapidly and is also in great health. By now, it's probably about five months old. I was afraid that my belly would be too obvious, so I used True Qi from my armor to partially conceal it, that's why it doesn't look so big."

"Ah?" Fang Ren was completely dumbfounded, "Five months old already!?"

He remembered that last time little Qianye did say that it wanted the little master to grow up quickly, but what kind of growth rate was this?

It had only been three or five days apart! And now it had grown to the size of five months? Wouldn't it just be born after another five or six days?

Mu Huanqing frowned slightly, but still smiled, "Although I'm quite troubled at the moment, I am also very happy and relieved. After all, I am often active on battlefields and very worried that one day I might get injured, and the baby would be in danger because of me. If the baby is born earlier, it will reduce many accidents, and no matter how you look at it, it's a good thing."

"But this is also..."

Fang Ren felt a bit at a loss for a moment, and suddenly Mu Huanqing told him that he had only three or four days before he would become a father. His emotions were in complete disarray, not even having time to prepare in advance.

"When I saw how quickly the child was growing, I felt the same as you do now," Mu Huanqing grasped Fang Ren's hand and said, "But I believe it will be okay. I will give birth to him safely and provide a secure environment for him to grow up in. I won't let him suffer, and neither will you. For this, I am willing to give my life."

Fang Ren felt the warmth in the palm of his hand and looked at the smile on Mu Huanqing's face; the complex sense of loss in his heart gradually faded away.

Fang Ren then fell silent for a long while before he spoke, "I have some important things I want to talk to you about."

Mu Huanqing looked at him, suddenly serious, and somewhat puzzled, "What's on your mind?"

"Find a place where no one will disturb us."

...

A few minutes later, the two appeared in a hotel. Hotels in Tianjiang all required an ID card, and Fang Ren then opened a room, while Mu Huanqing, as usual, came in through the window.

Even though there were many surveillance devices around, a cultivator of Mu Huanqing's realm wouldn't be captured by the surveillance.

"Qing'er, if I told you all my previous assumptions were true, what would you do?" Fang Ren then said as he sat on the edge of the bed.

Mu Huanqing, seeing his somber demeanor, had her smile slowly fade away. She gently sat down next to him and spoke, "I don't understand, when we both become the strongest, why would the Central Area still not allow us to be together?"

Fang Ren then casually tossed out a stream of True Qi, creating a soundproof barrier around the two of them.

"The current reality is, whether or not I can surpass Song Mobei in a short time, the Bai Family will never allow us to be together," Fang Ren then stated.

"Is it because of the arranged marriage with Xiao Xi?" Mu Huanqing was even more puzzled and spoke out, "But why does the Bai Family cling to you? Shouldn't they be keen to annul the marriage?"

Fang Ren then looked at her slightly swollen belly, no longer planning to keep any secrets from her. He gritted his teeth and spoke, "It's all because of the Family Head of the Bai Family; he never intended to annul Bai Qi's engagement with me, and even if my family tried to call off the marriage, it wouldn't work.

He has gone mad with ambition, and for his own ambitions, he can do what is utterly inhumane."

"Grandpa Bai?"

"He has an organization called Indra Sky under his command, which is performing experiments, experiment after experiment. The ultimate goal of these experiments is to evolve Bai Qi's talents. And I am included in the calculations of this experiment.

The experiment could make Bai Qi stronger, but they believe that I can make Bai Qi even stronger, and they might even want me to have children with Bai Qi... So, all their actions can be downright heinous."
