Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 262 Desperate Pregnant Women

The R City office of the special department is located in an office building in a bustling business district. Usually, there is a sign of “Feng Shui House” on its door. In the past, exorcising ghosts and demons are considered as feudal superstition. Even if the special department is kind of official, it can’t openly challenge the government. So it can only hang a sign about practicing feng shui to cover up.

Since the cultivators were known to the world, atheism has been questioned for a while. Many people ascribe the supernatural phenomena that could not be explained in the past to gods and ghosts. Practicing feng shui, which has already been liked by the rich and influential people, becomes even more popular. Countless marginalized Taoists put on their Taoist robes again and come out to make a living with the Eight Trigrams, looking like immortals. In this way, the profession of Taoist becomes popular again.

Xiao Xiaomu of the R City office is too young, who doesn’t look like an experienced cultivator in ordinary people’s eyes. Those rich businessmen look down upon the young Xiao Xiaomu, which saves him a lot of trouble and enables him to focus on his work in the R City office of the special department.

The kind-hearted clerk of the next company suggested Xiao Xiaomu wear a Taoist robe so that he could have more business. But he refused with excuses.

If there was no provocation from the Blood Line, Xiao Xiaomu thinks he would work in the R City for some time and wait idly for the department to arrange a younger cultivator to replace him. Then he would complete his family’s training task and return to the mountains to continue his cultivation.

But his life has suddenly changed. Xiao Xiaomu feels that he has suddenly become the focus of attention from a marginalized man. More and more cultivators in the R City, who closely follow the trend of the western suburb, are reporting to him all the time. Every day, Xiao Xiaomu receives countless trivial news. Then he sorts out the news and reports to the senior decision-makers.

At the time when Master Mu hasn’t arrived and Minister Chen Yun has to be in charge of the capital, Lin Luoran is the most powerful senior official in the R City.

The strength is of overriding importance! Xiao Xiaomu has been more and more aware of this truth recently. His colleagues in the special department are nice, and his old fellow apprentices are friendly. The only people that he is afraid to see are those enthusiastic individual cultivators!

Who is to blame? In fact, it’s Xiao Xiaomu’s fault. He is too young to keep his words. He accidentally revealed that Master Lin had a new apprentice. The world of cultivation is not very big, and there are quite a few people who know Yuan Ye. Everyone knows that he is an individual cultivator. But such an individual cultivator, who was neither powerful nor influential, suddenly becomes Master Lin’s apprentice... They don’t know that he is just a titular apprentice. Even if they do, they still envy him very much!

It is not easy to cultivate. Master Lin is the only advanced cultivator in the level of the Laying Foundation. Besides, she is the last alchemist in Huaxia! The “Circulation Bolus” that was later sold at the sky-high price was made by Master Lin, wasn’t it?

Oh, Yuan Ye is too lucky!

As a result, the individual cultivators, who dare not knock on the door of Lin’s family, all turn to Xiao Xiaomu, who is said to have fought together with Master Lin.

Xiao, you have to introduce me to her... Such are humble cultivators.

Oh, Xiaomu, you know how capable I am. I just ask you to be an introducer, Why do you refuse? Such are arrogant cultivators.

Bah, Xiao Xiaomu, how shameful you are! You are blocking the relationship between me and my master... Such cultivators have already assumed that Lin Luoran is their master.

...

He shouldn’t have told them. He just sits in the same car with Master Lin. When it comes to fighting, he just controlled the white fog across the wall. It was Yuan Ye who made the biggest contribution and covered the retreat. He fought so bravely. No wonder he becomes Master Lin’s apprentice.

Xiao Xiaomu despises himself for being so timid while sorting out the news in his hand.

Another woman from R City is missing on her business trip to Dujiangyan City. It is yesterday’s news. Xiao Xiaomu frowns. How can they commit a crime in Dujiangyan City? He moves his eyes and sees the small words on the following line. The missing person is a woman, seven months pregnant.

A pregnant woman. Another pregnant woman? Xiao Xiaomu seems to have found out something. He hurriedly searches the recent information. Not just recently, there were several pregnant women among the missing people at the beginning. However, compared with the huge base, such cases could hardly attract people’s attention!

“Tell Master Lin...Yes, I need to tell Master Lin.” Xiao Xiaomu is in such a hurry that he forgets to make a phone call. He just rushes out with a pile of information.

When he arrives at Lin’s family, Lin Luoran just finishes a furnace of “Replenishing Qi Bolus”. She is a little tired.

Hearing Xiao Xiaomu’s analysis, Lin Luoran cannot help clenching her fists.

Their target, from the beginning, has been pregnant women?!

She can’t wait and must take action as soon as possible. Suppressing her anger, Lin Luoran informs Master Mu. The situation is even worse than she thinks. Not only the island country has taken advantage. Cultivators in the northern country are also trying to get some benefits in the chaotic situation caused by the Blood Line.

So, here in R City, she can only rely on herself and a group of young people, among whom the most powerful man is just in the late stage of Training Qi?

Lin Luoran is in silence for a moment. Then she whispers a few words to Xiao Xiaomu. The latter’s young face gradually becomes serious.

Liu Mei doesn’t know how the person in front of her car comes out. She almost bumps herself out when she steps on the brake.

After the long friction sound, she subconsciously protects her belly. Seven months pregnant, she realizes for the first time that she is still driving alone, which is kind of difficult for her. She should have asked her colleague to come for her. The new shop in Dujiangyan City is important, but work is endless, and her baby is more important.

Thinking that she has hit someone, Liu Mei struggles to get out of the car and picks up her phone to make an emergency call. Before the phone is connected, she has seen the injured lying face down on the ground. There is no blood on the ground, and under the hat is blonde hair. Judging from the figure, it should be a woman.

I hope you are all right. The phone is finally answered. Before Liu Mei reports the specific location, the woman on the ground suddenly moves.

Liu Mei immediately comes up to her and asks, “Are you okay? Are you still conscious? Can you speak?” She struggles to squat down and pull aside the woman’s blonde hair that covers her face. But she sees a pair of blue eyes blinking at her twice, and then Liu Mei is unconscious.

When she is half asleep, Liu Mei feels that she is moved to a car, which keeps driving all the way. She tries to open her eyes midway and sees many foreigners. When she wakes up again, a pair of brown eyes are staring at her, which scares her.

It is a woman with her hair disheveled and stinks all over. Even if Liu Mei doesn’t have a pregnancy reaction anymore, she almost vomits.

She feels dizzy and sleepy. “Where is this? Who are you?”

That woman doesn’t answer her. Seeing that she wakes up, that woman stares at her belly. The woman’s eyes make Liu Mei unconsciously wrap her hands around her belly.

The woman smiles. Then she points at Liu Mei’s belly and says softly, “Baby, my baby.”

Liu Mei feels that she is mentally ill. For the fear that the woman may hurt her, Liu Mei answers, “Yes, it is your baby. Could you please get out of the way to let the baby have a rest?”

The woman obediently moves away. As Liu Mei is relieved and ready to look around, the woman suddenly shrieks again, “It is not my baby. It is the monster, the monster...The monster eats people, ah...” The shriek makes people feel chilly. Just as the woman rushes to her, Liu Mei hears a muffled sound. Then the woman who is going to attack her falls down.

It turns out that another pregnant woman saved her.

Liu Mei finally finds out that this is a huge basement, and there are mattresses on the ground. On each mattress, there is a pregnant woman. Some women’s bellies are flat. It seems that they have given birth to their babies.

She doesn’t know how can she have such a sudden thought. They have given birth to their babies? Such a basement does not meet the requirements of the delivery room at all!

“Thank you for saving me...” She thinks for a while and decides to sound out the woman who saved her. After years of front-line sales work, she is very good at observing people’s expressions and weighing their words. Since the pregnant woman does not look flustered, she should have come earlier than Liu Mei.

But the pregnant woman sneers, “You will not be grateful to me soon.”

Not understanding what she means, Liu Mei feels embarrassed. But soon, two hours after she wakes up, a woman begins to have labor pains.

Liu Mei is shocked to see that she rolls on the ground in pain, but can’t stop beating her belly. However, other pregnant women, including the one who saved her before, all cower in fear on the mattress, with no intention to help.

“How can you do that? Isn’t it the time to help her?” Liu Mei is angry. When she struggles to get up, she is stopped by the pregnant woman around her.

The haggard woman says tearfully, “Don’t go over. You can’t go over...She is giving birth to a monster. A monster. Each of us will give birth to a monster...”

A monster?! Liu Mei wants to ask what nonsense she was talking, but finds that the haggard woman’s words seem to have opened everyone’s emotional vent. Everyone except her begins to cry or giggle. In the chaos, the whole basement is filled with despair.

Liu Mei suddenly feels that she is overtaken by nerves.

God, who can tell her what’s going on?

The basement door is opened and two foreign women come down while talking in English. Liu Mei’s hands are sweating. Surrounded by tears and strange laughter, she feels she is also going to be desperate.
