Chapter 965: Chapter 418: Shangguan Shengxian’s Child (3)

The middle-aged woman spoke indifferently, and Li An gave her a few Dragon Blood Flowers, adding, "The Phoenix Grass hasn’t arrived yet. If you need it, you can leave an address, and I’ll send it to you when it arrives."

The middle-aged woman thought for a moment and then said, "Alright."

She left her address and then departed.

"Shangguan Shengxian."

After she left, Li An couldn’t help but murmur softly; his heart was heavy.

The one who plotted to kill Wu Ming turned out to be her.

After the battle in the Heavenly Court, she must have been the first to find Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s reincarnated body. She likely also thought that Evergreen Immortal Venerable must have had other plans, so she wanted to use Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s reincarnated body to achieve her own goals.

Now, she unexpectedly hides here, pretending to be an ordinary woman, showing no sign of her cultivation. She even buys low-grade herbs like the Dragon Blood Flowers from the town...her actions are indeed unusual.

Soon after, the Phoenix Grass arrived at the shop, and Li An sent a servant to deliver it, choosing not to go himself. When the servant returned, he reported that the herbs were left at the doorstep and he didn’t enter Shangguan Shengxian’s house but heard the sound of a baby crying.

Li An became even more suspicious.

Not long after, Shangguan Shengxian came again, purchasing another batch of herbs. Li An again sent the servant with her order, repeating the process several times, reassured somewhat by her declining suspicion, he finally decided to go personally with the herbs one day.

In reality, all this was just Li An being overly cautious; Shangguan Shengxian, as a Daluo Golden Immortal, what a figure she is, hiding in such a small place, the entire town is constantly under her observation, any abnormality would have been detected by her long ago, hence she was not too concerned about this little pharmacy.

After all, she couldn’t have imagined that someone could track a thread of life from the tenth celestial domain to this place, secretly approaching, without her noticing.

Turning into a small alley, after a few turns, he finally saw a bamboo gate. From within the courtyard came the sound of a baby’s loud cries. Li An knocked on the door, saying, "Miss Guan, I’ve come to deliver the herbs."

"Just leave it there."

Came Shangguan Shengxian’s voice from inside.

Li An replied, "Miss Guan, today’s herbs are quite valuable, I’d better have you take them personally."

The sound of footsteps approached, the bamboo door finally opened, revealing Shangguan Shengxian dressed as a farmwoman, holding a swaddling cloth in one arm, within which an infant was whimpering and crying softly, its little mouth exceptionally red.

Shangguan Shengxian’s face bore a trace of weariness and helplessness that Li An had never seen before, even some resignation. She reached to take the ring Li An handed over, saying, "Thank you."

Li An smiled, saying, "This child is truly adorable, Miss Guan, I have some spirit medicine beneficial for developing a child’s Spirit Root, would you need some?"

"No need."

Shangguan Shengxian closed the door without inviting Li An in.

Li An smiled wryly, then retreated.

Returning to the pharmacy, all doubts had been entirely resolved.

"What a Shangguan Shengxian..."

The child was born to Shangguan Shengxian!

And the father of the child...if Li An’s guess is correct, it should be the reincarnated main body of Evergreen Immortal Venerable.

This so-called reincarnated main body does not refer to Wu Ming who died in the eight million miles of the Cyan Ridge Mountains, but another original "secondary body," just because after Wu Ming’s death, that secondary body was closest to Wu Ming, inheriting the cause and effect between life and death, thus the secondary body transformed into the main body.

Shangguan Shengxian’s scheme is incredibly grand, if Li An’s guess is correct, she wants to replace Evergreen Immortal Venerable!

...

Good night, lately the timing is truly good, great fortune awaits!
