Surrogate Pregnancy—Keep the Child And Kill The Mother.

Lea just smiled and replied, "I am the only favored son of the Deity for the past 300 years. You must have been referring to me, unless you meant that great witch doctor 300 years ago?"

Elder Eugene lowered his head respectfully. "Yes, I was referring to Ninth Highness."

Gu Mengmeng frowned slightly with a "so I see" expression. "Then… why must it be Miranda who continues my Lea's bloodline?"

Would a wily old fox like Eugene not understand Gu Mengmeng's intentions? The main objective of smashing that chair had been to intimidate him. Making an example of Miranda was just a sidebar.

She had used that chair to warn him that if they dared to send Miranda to Lea's bed, the fate of the entire snow fox tribe would end up like that shattered chair.

If someone else had made this threat, Eugene would have just sneered and said "go ahead". But the one intimidating them was Gu Mengmeng herself, and she possessed the capability to fulfill her threat.
