Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 123 - 104: You All Have Kids?!_3

"I think you’re the blind one! Even without a demon pill, you don’t have to degrade yourself to this extent! How could such a worthless creature be worthy of you?"

Upon hearing this, even Ms Liou, who had been silently burying her head, raised her eyelids with a peculiar expression.

From her later investigations in Chuyun City, it seemed that perhaps it was her young lady who was unworthy of the young man...

The old woman thought to herself, Ji Xueruo, usually calm and astute, had a maturity far beyond her years. She hadn’t expected that the young empress, swayed by protective feelings for her sister, would become so blind, failing to notice such a drastic change in her sister.

Ms Liou sighed softly. Xueruo had always been intelligent and sensible from a young age, shouldering deep hatred and heavy burdens at such a tender age. Seeing the young Snake Emperor displaying a touch of endearing innocence suited to her age, she couldn’t bring herself to remind her, feeling instead that this made Xueruo more real and full of life.

"Pfft, haha!"

Ji Lingruo’s laughter was even more radiant, unabashed, with her hand covering her face unable to hide her bright smile.

Ji Xueruo looked at Ji Lingruo’s display with an even darker expression. She was focused on revenge and had no time for matters of the heart, but to enhance her knowledge, she naturally had read related books. She understood that her silly sister must be what the books described as a "love-obsessed" person in the throes of passion. The books also said that such women are beyond saving, viewing their lover as perfect no matter how vile, unable to listen to a single bad word about them.

Ji Xueruo shook her head silently, feeling helpless. Her sister’s love-obsessed nature and stubbornness were inherited directly from their poor mother. Fortunately, she considered herself very clear-headed, paying attention to no man, be they human or demon. In this cruel cultivation world, only personal strength was the hard truth! She was the future female emperor of the Snake Race, destined to return the Snake Race to the Divine Mountain. How could she become obsessed with a man like this?

I, Ji Xueruo, absolutely cannot be love-obsessed! Moreover, I must let my sister, who is dominated by being love-obsessed, see reality clearly!

"The one who’s blind isn’t me, it’s you, sister."

Ji Lingruo’s laughter finally subsided. She nimbly jumped in front of Ji Xueruo, gracefully spinning as if to display herself, her green dress blooming like a lotus, as she softly smiled and said:

"Sis, haven’t you noticed? I have a new demon pill."

?!

Ji Xueruo stood up with a start, her beautiful eyes focusing intently on Ji Lingruo’s lower abdomen, circling her sister again and again in disbelief. At seventeen, she was already at Middle Realm of Spirit Platform Perfection, seeing through Ji Lingruo’s cultivation was not difficult, only to find Ji Lingruo was already at the Initial Spirit Platform Realm! And in her abdomen was a cyan demon pill, full of divine energy, very lively!

Differing from the Human Race cultivators, who judged the quality of the Spirit Platform by its height, the Demon Race judged by the color of the demon pill. The denser the color, the higher the grade, and the greater the potential benefit to its owner. Now, the demon pill within Ji Lingruo was so densely cyan it was like a tangible substance, definitely a top-grade demon elixir!

Ji Xueruo couldn’t contain her excitement any longer, bending down to press her face against her sister’s abdomen, as if needing a closer confirmation of this demon pill’s existence. Astonished and delighted, she murmured in disbelief:

"How... how did you get it?"

Over the years, owing to the guilt of taking her sister’s demon pill, she had been searching for a remedy, yet without success. After her sister ran away from home, she often regretted it, but the demon pill had already integrated into her being, impossible to sever.

Ji Xueruo had originally planned, after finding her sister this time, to return the demon pill if her sister wanted it, even if forcibly extracting it would render her a complete waste. She would absolutely do so without regret.

But who could have thought that her sister would have her own serendipity, obtaining a demon pill even more advanced than the one within her! This was undoubtedly the happiest outcome, enabling her sister to re-embark on the celestial path, potentially going even further than before, without requiring her to forcibly give up her demon pill, allowing the Snake Race to continue thriving under her leadership.

Ji Lingruo smiled sweetly, observing her sister’s expression, feeling she looked just like a young husband eagerly listening for joy at his wife’s belly. A thought occurred to her; since matters regarding Taisui couldn’t be mentioned lightly, and to enhance You Su’s image in her sister’s eyes, she said:

"Rather than saying that senior brother has an agenda towards me, it’s more accurate to say I have an agenda towards senior brother. This demon pill was a gift from him."

On hearing this, Ji Xueruo stood up straight in shock, and Ms Liou, unaware of the inside story, widened her old eyes.

It’s understood that grafting demon pills was taboo in the Demon Realm, as anyone who attempted this would face a dangerous existence, never able to rise again.

Moreover, demon pills are hard to graft to demons not of the same kin, unless one had cultivated some extremely special secret technique; otherwise, it would be worthless in hand.

Conflicts between humans and demons are ongoing. It’s not unusual for the Human Race to secretly collect demon pills, but how could it be such a coincidence that the one given to Ji Lingruo perfectly suited her Snake Race identity and was of such high quality?

Could this demon pill be the very one that was deceived from them years ago, their mother’s demon pill?!

"This demon pill, where did it come from?" Ji Xueruo forced herself to calm down, seriously asking.

"Where else could it be..." Ji Lingruo bit her lip, shyly replying, "It’s... that one..."

"Which one?" Ji Xueruo pressed on, still not understanding.

"You, you know... dual cultivation..."

Derived from dual cultivation... and given by a male cultivator to a female cultivator...

Knowledge of the principles of yin and yang surfaced in her mind again, Ji Xueruo’s already cold face became even more iron-gray upon hearing the words, her brows as if about to shoot forth fire, though her voice was icy and piercing:

"This demon pill... could it be your child?!"
