Chapter 717 - 341: Demon Pill Demon Transformation (Part 2)

"Heaven is determined to wipe out our Demon Race!"

The collapse of the Snake Ancestor Hall signifies that the Snake Blood Pool, which the Snake Race relies on for reproduction, has been completely buried. Those meticulously preserved snake blood that has lasted thousands of years will be tainted by dust, sinking into the earth.

This generation of the Snake Race will face complete extinction.

All the women sighed in sorrow upon hearing this. They all knew the collapse of the Snake Ancestor Hall couldn’t happen without reason. Although saving lives was all they could do, they still felt confused and worried about the future of the Snake Race.

If a race is destined to not survive, no matter how powerful one is, it’s just a fleeting moment. So, what is the purpose of their struggle?

Yet a more anguished scream broke the silent dawn, and the women turned their attention to the second miss who was carried out from the smoke, realizing why she cried out so miserably.

Her belly was actually bulging high!

She was pregnant!

"Quick, prepare a clean room!" Ms Liou anxiously shouted.

...

The Snake Race indeed relies on the blood of the Snake Ancestor to continue the lineage, but it’s not as simple as drinking snake blood to self-conceive.

To achieve the goal of passing on generations and ensuring the safety of the pregnant woman, one must first meet age requirements, be in good health, be in a period of stable cultivation, and finally undergo various rituals and practice a specialized secret cultivation technique to guide the snake blood for pregnancy.

Each step is indispensable, this is the iron rule for the Snake Race to use snake blood to continue the lineage.

But Ji Lingruo obviously couldn’t meet all the requirements, and the clan elders would never agree to let her conceive. Even if she was an extraordinary prodigy about to fall, the rules passed down by the Snake Race could not treat these sisters as mere tools for breeding.

Moreover, pregnancy through this secret technique and normal conception like the Human Race both require ten months of gestation. So, was the second miss pregnant before ten months ago?

She hadn’t returned to the Snake Race at that time, how did she manage it?

Could it be...

Outside the secret chamber, the atmosphere was suffocating, and the elders applied pressure on the silent Ms Liou. Ever since sending the second miss into the secret chamber, this old woman had been frowning, sighing repeatedly, knowing some inside information for sure.

Ms Liou glanced at the clan members, sighed deeply, finally deciding not to hide and disclosed the relationship between Ji Lingruo and You Su.

The women were greatly shocked upon hearing this, realizing who the instigator of the second miss’s pregnancy was, none other than her senior brother, the second disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable!

Many snake demons immediately burst into curses, condemning that cunning demon race youth, even elevating it to being a conspiracy of Lotus Sword Venerable, claiming she dared to defy worldly conventions by accepting a demon race girl as a disciple.

Whenever the criticism against You Su grew more intense, the screams inside the secret chamber became more severe, as if the suffering girl was defending her lover, making those outside feel guilty and forced to restrain themselves a bit.

The tragedy that befell the previous Clan Leader now happened to her daughter, the women felt sorrowful, even blaming Ms Liou for excessive leniency.

Ms Liou could only continue to sigh in regret, wishing she had acted differently earlier.

Her young miss was at the peak of her cultivation, and though she had received much help from You Su, how could she end up pregnant so young?

But she found it extremely strange and irrational; when her miss returned to the clan to meditate in seclusion, her belly was evidently flat, how did it become so swollen after a month?

As the atmosphere grew increasingly stifling, the door to the secret chamber opened with a ringing sound, the elderly midwife wiping sweat off her forehead, her expression more complex than ever seen by the women.

"Auntie! Is it a boy or a girl?!"

The midwife merely gave the elder who asked this question a confused look, as if saying the answer should be obvious.

The women chirped noisily with inquiries, until Ms Liou stepped forward, asking with concern: "How is the second miss?!"

The midwife sighed, "Her condition is relatively stable."

"Since mother and daughter are safe, why do you remain so worried?" An elder behind her asked in confusion.

Whenever a new offspring is born within the clan, this midwife would joyfully welcome the newborn, never being as conflicted as today.

The midwife shook her head, "I’ve delivered babies all my life, and never have I seen such a thing before..."

"What thing?" Ms Liou asked immediately.

"That child wasn’t born by the miss at all!" The midwife’s tone sounded as though questioning her lifelong experience in childbirth.

"What?!" The women were greatly astonished.

"The miss’s belly was severely swollen yet showed no sign of progressing downward. I grew desperate, so I rashly extended my Profound Qi into the miss’s body to check the child’s condition, only to discover it was no snake infant! But a transformed human-form Demon Pill!"

With these words, the clamorous exterior of the secret chamber fell silent immediately, everyone so shocked they forgot to breathe.

The phenomenon of Demon Pill Demon Transformation, such a thing was unheard of!

Ms Liou staggered, rubbing her temple which throbbed intensely, asking:

"So, did the miss give birth to her own ’Demon Pill’?!"

"It wasn’t birth!" The midwife recalled the scene, still finding it inexplicable, "It was expelled!"

She continued immediately, "The miss’s belly suddenly deflated, then she turned to expel the Demon Pill! As soon as the Demon Pill hit the ground, it transformed into a lively infant!"

Each sentence seemed to challenge Ms Liou’s understanding, she took a deep breath, sternly saying: "None of tonight’s events are allowed to be spoken of! No matter who among you, bury this matter within yourselves! Or face the gallows!"
