Chapter 139: Has the demon fetus been eliminated?
Feng Xiaolou's crying suddenly stopped. She had just seen the charred corpse of a giant snake outside the door, and sadness overwhelmed her.
That was my mother's body.
Her mother died in such a miserable way that she couldn't even collect her mother's body.
But in front of Yue Ran, she couldn't even cry out loud, and had to pretend that she didn't know where her mother was.
There is also Qi, who always says "my daughter is Ranran", but her mother is also a daughter of Lu.
With tears on her face, she gasped and asked:
"Third aunt, what you said is so disrespectful. After all, my mother is also a daughter of the Lu family. Why does she look like an irrelevant outsider to you?"
Before Qi could speak, Chu Hantian could no longer control his temper and spoke coldly:
"Madam Qi, although Xiaolou is a concubine's daughter, she is now the concubine of the Eastern Palace. Madam Qi, please be more respectful when speaking to her!"
Qi raised his chin slightly, showing no sign of giving in:
"Your Highness is right, but as Ranran's aunt, I cannot stand by and watch others throw dirty water on Ranran!"
"Instead of rushing to put the blame on my Ranran, Feng Liangdi should think of a way to find her mother first!"
"I'm wondering why such a huge snake monster appeared in Feng's house?"
"If the disciples of the Divine Master Sect hadn't arrived, wouldn't my Ranran be in great danger today?"
Feng Xiaolou, who was listening nearby, felt ashamed and angry, and even more resentful in his heart.
From what she said, it was clear that Qi didn't consider them mother and daughter as members of the Lu family at all.
At this moment, Xiao Ce walked out of the room and bowed to Chu Hantian:
"That snake demon did indeed flow out of this house. According to my judgment, it should have come from the underground hot spring in this room."
"If I'm not mistaken, the hot spring water vein under the Lihua Lane is the habitat of this giant snake."
When Chu Hantian heard this, his calves couldn't help but cramp.
The body of the snake demon that I saw outside the house just now, even if it had been burned to charcoal, was still about three to five feet long. If the snake demon had been hiding under the ground of Feng's house before...
Thinking of how he had come to Feng's house every now and then to talk to Feng Xiaolou, Chu Hantian's back was soaked with cold sweat.
Was that giant snake demon crawling under his feet during those days?
He hugged Feng Xiaolou tightly, half to support her and half to give himself courage.
Chu Hantian forced a faint smile on his face and nodded reservedly:
"Thank you for exorcising the demon, Immortal Master. Since the snake demon is dead, is the demon fetus that Immortal Master Duan mentioned before the snake demon?"
Chu Hantian was a little anxious when asking this question.
He was eager to replace his father. If the evil fetus was still there, and suddenly caused trouble when he succeeded, wouldn't it mean that he had not ascended the throne in a legitimate way?
After all, when a country is about to perish, evil will surely appear.
The fortunes of Anxi also declined rapidly after the appearance of the demon fetus. Even though Shang Di, the ruler of Anxi at that time, died together with the demon fetus, he was still criticized by later generations.
Xiao Ce was in a dilemma.
In fact, he couldn't be sure that the giant snake was the source of the demon fetus's aura that his uncle had sensed that day.
According to the legend from a hundred years ago, once the demon fetus appears in the world, demons will inevitably run rampant and the beasts will rebel.
Although they killed the snake demon today, the prosperous atmosphere of the capital of Da Chu was not affected at all, and there has been no news of orc rebellion in Da Chu.
So, is that snake demon really a demon fetus?
What's more, the snake demon died too easily.
"Immortal?" Chu Hantian's eyes sparkled, and he held Feng Xiaolou's arm tighter unconsciously.
Feng Xiaolou felt a little suffocated in his embrace, but his eyes behind the tears suddenly lit up.
"Your Highness's guess is probably close to the truth!"
She said softly:
"That demon fetus is hiding in the hot spring, probably waiting to come out and hurt people when the spring comes and the flowers bloom."
"But I didn't expect... that my mother and Aunt Mei would become the first victims..."
Feng Xiaolou was overwhelmed with grief and sobbed and cried again.
Xiao Ce had no choice but to speak:
"This matter needs to be confirmed by my uncle personally."
After saying that, Xiao Ce took out an unremarkable bronze mirror from his sleeve, bit his middle finger, and dripped blood onto the mirror.
It was the first time Yue Ran saw such a method and was very curious.
But the mirror emitted a faint yellow light, and then a majestic voice came from the mirror.
"Xiao Ce, what do you want to see me for?"
The person in the mirror was wearing a purple Taoist robe and had a serious face. It was Duan Qingkong, the Immortal Zi Yang.
Xiao Ce immediately told him everything that happened today, and then said:
"I am not very knowledgeable and cannot tell whether the snake demon is a demon fetus. I would like to ask my uncle to make a decision for me."
Duan Qingkong groaned for a moment, and then heard Feng Xiaolou cry out in sorrow:
"Master Duan, please help me with this!"
Chu Hantian was startled, watching Feng Xiaolou break free from his arms, trotting a few steps and throwing himself in front of the bronze mirror:
"Master Duan, I don't know how long that snake demon has been lurking in the grounds of my home. Today, it wiped out my mother's family, and not a single bone of my mother was left."
"This monster is really hateful!"
Duan Qingkong saw Feng Xiaolou crying pitifully in the mirror and was slightly startled. Then he said:
"Miss Xiaolou? How could this be?"
He frowned and shouted sternly:
"Xiao Ce, how do you do things?"
Xiao Ce and other disciples of the Shenzun Sect quickly bowed and apologized.
Duan Qingkong ignored Xiao Ce and comforted Feng Xiaolou softly:
"Miss Xiaolou was frightened."
"I will rush to the capital of Da Chu soon. After confirming the identity of the demon fetus, I will announce it to the world!"
"When the time comes, I will personally hold a funeral for your family so that they can rest in peace as soon as possible."
Feng Xiaolou's face was filled with gratitude, and he bowed in front of the bronze mirror:
"Xiaolou thanks Immortal Duan on behalf of my mother."
Yue Ran was listening at the side and found it interesting.
Even if Lu Qingrong was really dead, Feng Xiaolou still had her husband, so it wouldn't be Duan Qingkong's turn to handle the funeral personally, right?
Qi was also speechless. She was knowledgeable and experienced. She glanced at Feng Xiaolou and Duan Qingkong's faces and noticed something strange.
I always feel like something is not right.
Why did Chu Hantian look so matter-of-fact? He even felt a little proud of it.
Is he so used to other men doing things for Feng Xiaolou?
Xiao Ce had just collected all the bronze mirrors when a group of people rushed in from outside the collapsed house.
"Sister Xiaolou! Are you okay?"
The words in a young voice came in along with a tall young man.
As soon as Feng Xiaolou turned around, he was hugged tightly by the tall young man.
Chu Hantian's expression finally changed, his eyes were frighteningly sinister, and he rebuked in a stern voice:
"Old Five, let me go!"
The young man holding Feng Xiaolou raised his head, revealing a face that looked very similar to Emperor Shengwen when he was young.
He looked at Chu Hantian with a little grievance:
"Brother, I have always hugged Sister Xiaolou like this, why are you angry?"
Yue Ran watched from afar, marveling at it.
I never expected that Chu Hanling, who had woken up, was actually a green tea man.
