Chapter 30: Can Someone Really Be This Stupid?
"Spiritual Girl, what... Spiritual Girl? I've never even heard of it!" I exclaimed loudly, "Su Xiaomin must have deceived you."
"Deceived me?" He Youfei unbuckled his belt halfway and bent over to grip my chin.
His fingers, perennially reeking of the foul stench of cigarettes, were pressed against me.
I felt so nauseous I could vomit, "That's right."
"I'm asking you, have you been entangled by a snake, and are you carrying a snake offspring?" He Youfei's blatant gaze swept over my abdomen.
My hands had always subconsciously covered my ice-cold belly, and now my palm seemed to touch a hint of a throbbing sensation, "I am... carrying it, so what?"
I was but a fish on the chopping board, completely helpless.
At this moment, I didn't even have the leeway to lie; I feared that any falsehood would further enrage him.
"That's right then, you are the Spiritual Girl carrying a snake." He Youfei said with amusement, "Once I possess your body, you'll immediately miscarry, and all your powers will be inherited by me."
"That's definitely not true, there's no such absurd thing!" I felt He Youfei's lips approaching and I pushed him away forcefully, "Get away! If something... happens to me, there will be no one to extend your life with their clothing, you better think it through."
"Even Granny Wu said so, how could it be false?" He Youfei was not swayed at all and brutally ripped off his own shirt.
I saw him pounce towards me and in a desperate move, I drew the Small Knife I carried for self-defense, "Back off! You must not touch me, otherwise, I will make sure we both perish together."
"Tch, still a wild horse, the wilder the better. What fun is there otherwise, as if dealing with a dead fish?" He Youfei, seeing the sharp Small Knife in my hand, seemed even more excited.
One of He Youfei's lackeys grabbed my wrist from the side and snatched the Small Knife from my hand, "Still trying to hurt our Brother Fei, you lowly woman, you've got guts."
"Women should be taught a harsh lesson, otherwise they don't behave!" Another lackey slapped my cheek hard.
I instantly heard a ringing in my ears, and my head spun dizzyingly.
My hands still clung desperately to my stomach, my body uncontrollably trembling, "So many people want to make me miscarry; you truly are beset with calamities."
"Don't! You! Dare! Bully! My! Mom!" A childishly tender voice entered my ears, like a secluded mountain spring echoing in a valley.
I saw a snake-like shadow appear before my eyes; it seemed to spring forth from my belly.
It fiercely knocked He Youfei, who was lunging at me, to the ground.
Suddenly, the shadow disappeared.
"That's so thrilling; there really is a Snake Baby in your belly!" He Youfei, falling flat on his rear, seemed even more ecstatic, "Quick, give me the Snake-repelling Talisman."
Watching He Youfei receive a yellow talisman paper from his lackey's hand.
My eyes welled with tears as I caressed my belly.
Is it you?
Who saved me...
Such a small being.
Chose to save its own mother.
Is this the little monster that I've been so afraid of?
But those evil people have powerful charms in their hands.
The child in my belly might not be able to protect us anymore.
Ignoring my struggles, He Youfei climbed on top of me.
"Heh, interesting, that someone dares to bully my wife and child," At that moment, a slow sigh came from behind He Youfei, "Such people, they won't have a chance at rebirth in their next life. Are they really that foolish?"
The reek of He Youfei's breath, heavy with alcohol and cigarettes, nearly made me pass out.
He was probably a millimeter away from kissing me.
At that instant, He Youfei's back stiffened as he mechanically turned his head.
