Chapter 2010 - 2000: Nangong Bing Is Four Months Pregnant
After being entangled by Tangtang for an entire afternoon, Lin Zifeng finally decided to see the others. After the Holy Hall and Beiming experienced this catastrophe, everyone’s emotions had not fully recovered, and Lin Zifeng’s job was naturally to comfort them. He arrived at Nangong Bing’s residence.
Nangong Bing was now completely absorbed in her cultivation. The disaster of this time on the Holy Hall and Beiming was mostly because of her, causing such chaos and resulting in the death of so many people. To Nangong Bing, it was absolutely a huge blow; she felt guilty within. If she were not a demon cultivator, none of this would have turned so bad. So many people wouldn’t have died, and the Beiming Family wouldn’t have gotten implicated.
She hadn’t dared to go out these days, not even having the courage to apologize to Beiming Yu, simply locking herself in her room and working hard on her cultivation. Only by improving her strength could she have more power to protect those around her and gain more authority.
But the more she thought like this, the more she pressured herself excessively. This led to a more severe demonization! Several times, her eyes got covered with a layer of blood cloud. If not for the Star Ring controlling her demon nature at critical moments, she might have fallen into demonization. Despite the help of the Star Ring, even if she got demonized, her consciousness would still remain clear. But after every demonization, her urge to kill became particularly intense. Not killing people felt unbearable. After killing, it was like a zombie absorbing blood to feel comfortable.
"No way! My mind is in chaos now. If I continue to cultivate with this mentality, it will only make my demon nature heavier, with the possibility of demonizing at any moment." She kept reminding herself, fearing that if she lost control of her mind anytime after demonizing, it would be over. The more she demonized, the stronger her control over demon nature became!
"Knock, knock, knock..." However, just as Nangong Bing was putting down her cultivation, the door was gently knocked a few times.
"Nangong sister, we’re here to see you." Outside the door, Tangtang came together with Lin Zifeng. Nangong Bing had locked herself in the room for quite a while. Lin Zifeng was somewhat worried, afraid that something might have happened.
Hearing the knocking, Nangong Bing quickly put away her Star Ring. She worked hard to suppress her demon nature and dispel her distracting thoughts.
"Coming." After sorting her emotions, Nangong Bing quickly came to open the door, but as soon as she did, Lin Zifeng noticed something was wrong with her. Especially her eyes; even with her demon nature controlled, he could still feel the blood-red in her eyes.
"What’s wrong with you? Is your demon nature acting up again?" Lin Zifeng frowned, feeling concerned. Nangong Bing’s demon nature seemed to be deeper than before.
After each episode, her eyes showed a bit more blood-red. And now, her pupils were obviously more blood-red, unable to dissipate in a short time.
"I, I’m fine." Nangong Bing forced a smile.
"Nangong sister, why does your complexion seem not very good?" Tangtang also noticed Nangong Bing’s unusual color. She could see the blood color in Nangong Bing’s pupils.
Moreover, everyone in the Holy Hall and Beiming knew Nangong Bing was a demon.
"I’m fine. Tangtang, why aren’t you accompanying your mother?" Nangong Bing smiled.
"My, my mother left. She took Big Bear and Little Bear back to the Clan." Talking about her mother, Tangtang felt reluctant to part. When her mother left, she asked if Tangtang wanted to leave Zhonghai City together, considering the current crisis in the Holy Hall. Liu Jiuhuang could only help once but couldn’t always help. Staying would only be a burden, and there might even be a life risk. But the little girl was very persistent, refusing to leave even if it meant dying, as only here could she truly feel happy. So she refused to go back to the Clan with her mother.
"Your mother left, why did you stay? Don’t you know our situation is very dangerous now?" Nangong Bing pretended to be angry. The current situation of the Holy Hall wasn’t good, all because of her.
Therefore, she sincerely didn’t want those around her to be hurt.
"The Holy Hall is my home. There are my friends and partners here, and we have experienced life and death together. How could I leave when the Holy Hall needs us most?" Tangtang said seriously. Despite her young age, the little girl’s heart was much more persistent than those of real adults.
This was also one of the things that moved Lin Zifeng the most. Knowing the danger yet staying faithful. How many like Tangtang can be found in the world?
"..." Nangong Bing was speechless. In her view, Tangtang was just a child; she really shouldn’t bear so much, nor should she experience too much at such a young age. Such things wouldn’t bode well for her life path.
Most importantly, Nangong Bing felt guilty inside.
Lin Zifeng also knew Nangong Bing felt guilty.
"Alright, since Tangtang is willing to stay, we should be happy about it. Why do you look like that, always with a worried face?" Lin Zifeng felt sorry for her. In just a few days, Nangong Bing seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight.
Looking at her pale face, Lin Zifeng’s heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of tiny needles.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine." Nangong Bing smiled slightly.
"Now, there’s no benefit in thinking too much. You’ve been hiding in your room for days without coming out for some fresh air; it’s not good for your health."
"Don’t worry, I know my body, there won’t be any problems."
"You say there’s no problem as long as you think so? Let me remind you, you still have my seed in your belly, how could I stand by and watch you abuse my son?" Lin Zifeng rolled his eyes, speaking irritably.
"Tsk~ It’s not even born yet, how do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?" Mentioning the child in her belly, her eyes immediately turned extremely gentle. Perhaps this was the love of a mother-to-be.
Tangtang was the most bewildered, watching them chatting warmly, while she seemed like a non-presence, just air. They really didn’t take her seriously, did they? She wanted to say something but held back. After all, they were a couple. What did she count for?
Thinking about it, she seemed somewhat extra here, wanting to find an opportunity to slip away.
"Take good care of your body. Even if you don’t care for the big, think about the small one in your belly. This is our love’s creation. The child mustn’t have any problems." Lin Zifeng was full of tenderness, looking at Nangong Bing’s belly with eyes full of affection. But thinking further, Lin Zifeng started feeling amazed, what seed was his wife pregnant with? It’s been more than four months, and her belly still shows no sign.
