The Unexpected Seed

The jade feet lightly tap, and Luo Li immerses herself in the fragrant spring.

Above the petals, only her fragrant shoulder, as white as jade, can be seen, with three thousand strands of green silk scattered gently across the clear water.

No one could witness such beauty in the world.

As she immerses herself in the spring water, which has been transformed by spiritual power, Luo Li's thoughts remain tangled.

Ever since the last time Ling Ye spoke those words to her...

"If you don't want to get married, don't marry."

It seems she's become more interested in Ling Ye's side.

Yes.

In the past, she had little care for either Ling Ye or Ye Tian. To her, it was just about the result. Nothing more.

But now, after much thought and deliberation, she finds herself favoring Ling Ye.

Somehow... she is inexplicably concerned about him.

She hopes Ling Ye doesn't lose.

She hopes he will remain invincible.

Luo Li doesn't know if it's because she doesn't want to face the consequences of her previous words... or if something else has stirred within her.

Whatever it is, her mind is now in chaos, all because of Ling Ye.

Luo Li closes her eyes slowly, trying to calm her thoughts and restore the solitude and serenity she once had in her heart.

This meditation lasts for what feels like an eternity.

But suddenly, Luo Li notices something strange happening within her body.

It's a change from the inside out.

This is a transformation she's never experienced before.

Carefully, she enters her body, focusing on every shift and change she senses.

Then, in a specific place within her, she discovers the source of the transformation.

There, in that very place, lies a tiny germ.

It's the beginning of everything. The origin of life.

It is so small, so fragile… yet, at the same time, immense.

There is an indescribable beauty, an indescribable wonder.

This is… a new life.

A seed that has just taken root.

So marvelous.

The next moment, Luo Li opens her eyes.

Boom!

A majestic aura bursts from her body uncontrollably.

The entire sanctuary of spiritual energy ripples and trembles.

Luo Li stands there, stunned, her body filled with shock and disbelief.

Her red lips part slightly, her heartbeat quickening.

Her entire face freezes.

I'm… pregnant?

Yes. Pregnant.

Inside her own body is a new life.

The sudden reality sends her heart into a panic.

Her mind is a whirlwind of confusion.

Pregnant?

She's… pregnant?

In her own body… she is carrying a new life?

This… is Ling Ye's child.

Luo Li stands there in shock, her beautiful face completely stunned, overwhelmed by confusion.

Pregnant with Ling Ye's child?

How could this be?

How could such a thing happen?

This joke… is it too absurd?

Luo Li is unable to process this for a long time.

The new life growing within her is so wondrous. So profound.

But… how can it be?

How could she be pregnant with Ling Ye's child?

How is this possible?

For a long while, she doesn't know what to do.

She doesn't know whether to feel joy or sorrow.

This is… Ling Ye's child.

Luo Li remains alone in the spiritual spring, lost in thought for a long time.

Then, her delicate body seems to go limp, overwhelmed.

She bites her red lips lightly, unsure of what to do.

What should she do now?

How does she face this wonderful life growing within her?

How does she confront this creation, this bond between her and Ling Ye?

This child… should she keep it?

Or… should she destroy it?

Luo Li is completely lost.

Her thoughts have never been so complex.

Her mind has never been so chaotic.

Why has this happened?

She never imagined things would turn out this way.

She is immersed in this fragrant spiritual spring, facing what seems like the biggest dilemma of her life.

The greatest decision she has ever had to make.

Should she keep this child or not?

If not, she could destroy it with a single palm right now.

But… how could she bring herself to do that?
