Lu Miao provided a list of medical and hygiene supplies.
Mr. Cheng took the list and led them straight into the adjacent room, which had already been prepared as a sterile environment. Everything was well-equipped, not only with the items Lu Miao had listed, but also with medical instruments, emergency devices, and an infant incubator.
“Master, do you need a doctor? I’ve already arranged for a private physician who can be on call 24/7 Mr. Cheng offered.
“No need, but I require three drops of blood from you,” Lu Miao stated directly. Without hesitation, Mr. Cheng nodded, “Of course.”
Just a few drops of blood were insignificant in comparison to saving his son. He’d be willing to give three hundred milliliters if it meant saving them.
Mrs. Cheng was soon disinfected and transferred to the prepared room.
Approaching her, Lu Miao lifted the blanket and the lower edge of her blouse.
Mrs. Cheng looked at her with pleading eyes, shaking her head vigorously. Tears streamed from her eyes.
Bending down, Lu Miao held her thin hand and gently squeezed, “Don’t worry, what you want will certainly come true.”
A warm sensation flowed from her palm, quickly spreading throughout her body. The burdened body she had carried for months became significantly lighter.
Seeing Lu Miao’s gentle gaze, Mrs. Cheng inexplicably felt reassured and relaxed, the tension in her body slowly dissipating.
Lu Miao straightened up. Mrs. Cheng’s exposed belly had changed color from its original skin tone to a faint blue-black. The skin was so thin it seemed like paper, and even the tiny blood vessels beneath were visible.
Sensing something, the fetus in her womb began to kick restlessly.
Lu Miao flung several talismans around, moving too quickly for Mr. Cheng to discern her actions. From somewhere, she produced an inconspicuous brush.
Lin Bufan immediately grabbed a surgical knife and a container from the table, quickly making an incision on Mr. Cheng’s finger. Drops of blood fell into the container.
Dipping the brush into the fresh blood, Lu Miao quickly drew a pattern on Mrs. Cheng’s belly.
The moment the pattern was drawn, the restless fetus in her womb grew calm.
After a moment, a sharp, piercing scream erupted from Mrs. Cheng’s belly. Immediately, the blood-colored pattern on her belly burst into a dazzling light, and her thin skin contracted and hardened.
In just a matter of seconds, her belly, which had looked like a small hill, visibly shrank. It tightened as if under a shrinking spell, becoming smaller and smaller.
The piercing screams grew even more chilling and horrifying. Mrs. Cheng’s belly was continually stamped with footprints and fist marks, as if the fetus inside was attempting to break free by kicking directly through her skin. However, the more it struggled, the faster her belly contracted.
Mr. Cheng stood on the other side, his face filled with tension. The ear-piercing screams were almost drilling into his mind, giving him goosebumps all over.
Finally, a burst of red light erupted, illuminating the entire room. Mr. Cheng only saw a dark figure shoot out of Mrs. Cheng’s belly and dart towards the window.
In the instant before it escaped, the talismans on the wall flashed, as if an invisible barrier had bounced it back.
Lu Miao flicked her fingers and a thin golden light instantly wrapped around the dark figure. Then, with a forceful pull, she yanked it back.
As it passed Mr. Cheng, the dark figure lunged straight at him.
Mr. Cheng couldn’t react in time. He felt a wave of coldness sweep over him, and then the dark figure silently entered his body.
The golden thread disconnected and dissipated as the dark figure entered his body. In a state of extreme panic, he groped his body in terror. “Why did it enter my body? Quickly get it out!”
Lu Miao, however, spoke calmly, “He’s your son, with your bloodline. Naturally, he’d be drawn to you.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cheng’s pupils contracted. Regardless of fear, he turned to look at Mrs. Cheng on the bed.
Her belly, once swollen, had now flattened. Although it hadn’t returned to its original size, it was evident that the fetus was no longer inside.
“Where’s my son? What have you done with my son?” Mr. Cheng shouted in frustration.
“Isn’t he in your body?” Lu Miao replied calmly.
“You liar! Give my son back to me!”
Mr. Cheng was infuriated, but suddenly, his vision darkened, and he collapsed onto the ground, completely powerless.
He was horrified to discover that it felt as if a vacuum cleaner was draining his life force. His body was being hollowed out, his strength gone. His limbs turned icy, and he didn’t even have the energy to stand.
A mix of anger and fear surged within him. He had no choice but to lower his head to Lu Miao, “I have money. As long as you can get it out, I’ll give you as much money as you want.”
Lu Miao, looking down from above, spoke coldly, “Mr. Cheng, you designed for your deceased son’s soul to possess your daughter’s body, thinking there wouldn’t be any backlash. But you should have realized that such actions would eventually backfire. Sadly, even before your daughter’s birth, you’ve used her as nourishment for your deceased son.”
After speaking, she turned away from him and retrieved a small white jade bottle. Taking out a pill from it, she placed it near Madam Song’s lips.
Madam Cheng opened her mouth and swallowed the pill, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you, thank you.”
“Sorry, there’s no way to save your daughter,” Lu Miao stated with a bitter tone.
Madam Cheng touched her flattened belly with a bitter smile and teary eyes. “I know. Truly, thank you. I’m already grateful that you saved me.”
“Boss, is he going to die?” Lin Bufan nudged Mr. Cheng on the ground, who had lost consciousness at some point.
“He’s just unable to withstand the momentary consumption of his life force by the thing he nurtured. He won’t die,” Lu Miao answered coldly.
Lin Bufan moved a couple of steps away from him with a disdainful expression. “Mrs. Cheng, what’s going on here?”
“Two years ago, Mr. Cheng’s wife and son died in a car accident while they were on their way to the airport for his son’s study abroad. Around the same time, my father fell ill and passed away. Later, a friend introduced Mr. Cheng to me, probably because we both had experienced loss, and we got married quickly.
When I got pregnant, he was happy and said he wanted to take me to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors. When we arrived there, I realized that it was the grave of his deceased wife and son.
I turned to leave, and he immediately changed his expression. He not only hit me, but he also forcibly tied me up and made me kneel in front of the grave.
Later, I found out that everything had been calculated by him ever since my friend introduced me to him. After his wife and son passed away, he consulted someone who told him that his son’s soul was still lingering around him and wasn’t willing to leave. It was harmful to him in the long run.
To resolve it, there was only one way..”
