Chapter 104 - 96:Mind in Disarray but Say Not the Tender Heart is Too 2
"I..." Xie Lian said.
Before he finished his sentence, he felt Hua Cheng squeezed with a bit of force, a series of pain crawled up his leg, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
Although Hua Cheng's strength was already extremely controlled and this little bit of pain was nothing to Xie Lian, but for some reason, in front of him, Xie Lian seemed to be unable to hide away his pain. Maybe it was because of what Hua Cheng told him beforehand and he tried too hard to hold back and it backfired on him. Sensing Xie Lian shrinking back, Hua Cheng instantly held his ankle tighter and reassured with a soft voice, "Don't worry. It'll be over soon. Don't be scared."
Xie Lian shook his head, but Hua Cheng's hands had become even gentler, his hand operating speedily, and when he raised it again, that tiny little needle was already extracted. "Alright, it's done."
Xie Lian focused his eyes and saw the tip of that needle was glistening with vicious poison. Hua Cheng closed his five fingers and crushed it easily into a small waft of black gas, dissipating into the air. Seeing this, Xie Lian put aside all his discomfort and commented soberly, "What heavy air of grudge. A typical fetus spirit shouldn't have spiritual power this strong."
Hua Cheng stood up, "You're right. So, this fetus spirit must not be from a normal miscarriage."
Just then, a masked man entered with his head down, a clay pot presented with both his hands, and he handed it to Hua Cheng. Xie Lian unconsciously checked to see if that man's wrist still carried that cursed shackle, but this time the man's sleeves were tied down fully and completely. Hua Cheng took the pot with one hand and glanced at it, then turned around to pass it to the Xie Lian sitting on the black jaded divan. Xie Lian hadn't yet reached over and the muffled sound of a child crying could be heard from within, and it seemed something was madly knocking about, making the clay pot shake, unable to remain standing up, so he became more cautious.
When he took that clay pot, he peeled up a small corner of the seal and peeked in, and could feel a sense of dreadful cold rush up his spine.
Inside the pot laid a puddle of something like a fetus. Although both the arms and legs were grown out, they were weak and powerless, and the head remained obscured in the shadows. All in all, it was no more than a lump of twisted organ.
This was its true form!
Xie Lian immediately resealed the pot and said, "I see."
