Chapter 25 - Short-sighted (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Not far away from the cave, there lay a cultivation ground not easily discoverable since it was in a patch of green bushes. There was a hot spring that was covered in greenery, and a few colorful butterflies flying around. It was like heaven on earth.

On one side of the hot spring lay a woman whose belly was swaying from side to side. It was none other than Mu Yao.

She curled up in pain, her hands clenching her stomach. She could clearly feel that her stomach had gone from a three-month pregnant woman’s to a ten-month pregnant one in a matter of minutes!

Mu Yao felt as if all her internal organs had been crushed by the growing object in her stomach.

“Ah… it hurts!”

Mu Yao had never felt such pain before. She could not help but wonder if she was pregnant. She bit her lower lip tightly. Her forehead was already dripping with sweat, and her fair face was even paler.

The pain only intensified.

Mu Yao had only performed Dual Cultivation in order to leave the cave. She had never expected to pay such a high price for it!

Giving birth? That was out of the question to her! Besides, how could she get pregnant in one go? She was truly unlucky.

Furthermore, not only was she pregnant, but her baby had also grown at such a terrifying speed! She hadn’t even gotten the opportunity to abort her baby.

Even a normal cultivator or an ordinary person would definitely have to go through 10 months of pregnancy after getting pregnant. However, it had been less than an hour since she escaped from the cave. Yet, Mu Yao already felt like she was about to give birth!

What in the world was this elixir? Could it double the speed of pregnancy?

Besides, she was clearly about to be discovered by her enemies earlier on. Just as she was at a loss, an idea came to her mind: turning invisible and running away. Then, Mu Yao turned herself invisible and fled even faster. Even her five senses became especially sensitive.

Just what was this elixir?

Before Mu Yao could think about it, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach that threatened to burst her stomach at any time.

Every meridian in her body, even every nerve, was hurting Mu Yao more as the seconds ticked by. The next moment, she fainted from the pain.

At the same time, dozens of men in black moved through the forest. Every man’s face was covered in black cloth, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

They were all equipped with weapons, some with bows, some with swords, and others with unknown ones.

The leader of the men in black sprinted ahead. His nose twitched. Then, his cold gaze swept toward the southeast. He smiled under the black cloth. “Hmph! I smell it. Follow me. We’ll head in the southeast direction.”

The men in black behind him immediately responded, “Yes, Sir!”

Not long after, the leader of the men in black stopped and swung his right hand. The men in black at the back stopped and gathered into a circular formation.

A hint of coldness flashed across the leader’s eyes. “Everyone, pay attention. That woman’s scent is nearby, but it’s very strange.”

“What’s strange, Sir?” one of the men asked.
