Chapter 1015: Chapter 255 The Beauty’s Mystery

The delicate curves of the beauty still appeared so enchanting.

Her face, as lovely as a flower, was still so captivating.

A pair of glowing, blue eyes rippled with spring-like ripples. No matter from which angle you looked, just by gazing at her, you could clearly feel her eyes always pouring out some indescribable emotions towards you.

This was a marvel of creation; her authenticity and beauty would stun anyone upon first sight, causing them to rub their eyes in disbelief. After the initial shock, they would fall into a deep despondency and immense pity and then sigh at the bottom of their hearts!

Today, this embodiment of beauty suddenly emerged from the dust of time.

Although Liu, being usually careless, was used to it, he could not miss this anomaly under so many focused gazes; if he did, he wouldn’t be Liu anymore.

If others still had doubts, Liu, who had once had a fleeting romantic encounter with this beauty, was left only with confusion, disarray, and shock.

Having never eaten Larza meat, but having seen Larza beasts flee, he knew what this unusual bulge implied and proved. It led Liu to lean towards the most likely, yet the most unlikely direction immediately. The conclusion was so shocking even to himself.

Was the beauty pregnant? Liu, no matter what, refused to believe it was true. The situation came too abruptly; he had absolutely no mental preparation—in fact, it was impossible for him to be prepared.

What made his spine chill a bit was that the beauty’s hands were already on the upper part of her abdomen, making a motion as if ready to caress it—this movement was extremely gentle and full of maternity—

"Stop fantasizing!" Andulan elder stared blankly at the beauty, then suddenly shook his head with a wry smile, "We must all be thinking too much. This beauty must have changed her appearance due to some reasons! I forbid any more misinterpretation!"

Liu was still sitting on the ground, motionless, with a vacant look in his eyes, and silence all around.

The words of the Andulan elder really weren’t very persuasive.

"Let’s have Nochadamas verify it!" Ning Yu remained calm. However, her calmness seemed a bit forced.

Like others, Ning Yu’s first thought was that the beauty was pregnant, because the bump made it difficult for her to imagine anything else. However, soon after, Ning Yu dismissed her own idea, grateful that it was still at the conjecture stage, not yet proven that the beauty was truly pregnant, so she calmed down slightly.

The only thing this girl of gentle and cultured nature couldn’t understand was why Richard looked so panicked...

Could it be...

Ning Yu immediately stopped herself from thinking further.

Clearly, these questions also lingered in the minds of Helen, Moer, and the two Fairy Dragons, as several pairs of beautiful eyes fixated on Richard, slowly getting up from the ground, full of deep inquiry.

Liu’s mind was now a complete mess, dizzy and disoriented, dodging the inquiring gazes with slight panic.

The witch doctor Nochadamas, upon hearing his boss’s summon, briskly jogged over to Ning Yu, bowed respectfully. The boss quietly whispered a few words to Nochadamas’ ears. With his mouth agape, he occasionally looked up at his boss, looking dumbfounded for a moment, then nodded somewhat blankly as he circled around the beauty.

However, his looks were futile. On the Aegean Continent, regardless of the medical profession which included priests, witch doctors, or monks, there was no specialty in gynecology; all the pregnant women gave birth at their homes, guided by elderly grandmothers. Though witch doctors had some hearsay experience, it was only about Beamon pregnancies.

The witch doctor Nochadamas examined for a long time, took the beauty’s pulse, checked her eyelids, then tucked his head and shrank aside, digging his large nose while struggling to utter even half a word.

"Clear the area." Ning Yu, the boss, sternly ordered, "Everyone irrelevant, get out of the inn now!"

The empress had spoken, and a bunch of Beamon who were secretly guessing if their boss was really that flirtatious could only suppress their gossip-seeking hearts, reluctantly pouting as they retreated from the inn’s lobby—Beamon weren’t fools; the boss’s order to clear the area also proved indirectly how correct their guess was.

The few militia leaders who were qualified to stay sneaked glances at the boss, praying desperately not to be driven out, but to their disappointment, the boss Ning Yu still unmercifully gestured towards them and then at the door.

"Speak!" Daisy, seeing that everyone had left, gestured to Nochadamas, "What did you find out exactly?"

"Can’t detect the pulse," Nochadamas said gloomily. "This beauty’s arm feels almost like a normal person’s, elastic skin and warm, but... but she has no pulse at all!"

"Nonsense!" Ruona scolded. "Did you really need to say that? I knew it already!"

"This beauty just doesn’t fit in!" Nochadamas felt utterly wronged.

The Andulan elder didn’t interject, stepped forward, and placed his two fingers on the beauty’s pulse—this act made Nochadamas feel even more aggrieved, thinking the elder looked down on his medical skills.

"I heard from you once before that this beauty was a tribute from the Koutao Merfolk to Richard, right?" Andulan elder asked, frowning.

Several proprietresses instantly let out a cold snort. Back when the Koutao Merfolk had offered the beauty in the Underground World, all the proprietresses were too ashamed to face it and had left the Giant’s cabin. If they had known earlier, perhaps those Koutao Merfolk wouldn’t have walked out of the Giant’s cabin alive.

"Koutao Merfolk indeed know how to cater to one’s liking, quite discerning!" Andulan elder teased Liu with a shock, while his fingers still tightly pressed on the beauty’s pulse.

"Richard... you couldn’t possibly have..." Daisy was momentarily choked up, angrily stamping her foot. Daisy believed she was no less beautiful than this beauty, so why Richard...

"Knowing that now isn’t very important! Nochadamas, tell me quickly, the beauty... is she... pregnant?" Ning Yu asked the Witch Doctor with a cold face.

"There’s a goose-yellow color in the beauty’s eyes, consistent with pregnancy symptoms, but I dare not touch her abdomen to confirm..." Piegel Witch Doctor’s voice grew softer, continually glancing at the Overlord with his eyes.

"Dammit! Stop beating around the bush!" Liu cursed impatiently.

"How long have you been with her?" Ning Yu turned and faced Liu abruptly asking.

"Um... it was... it was during the negotiations in Mosoburada City..." Liu murmured, swallowing his saliva, the awkwardness was unbearable, he intended to lie, but in the end he told the truth.

"So, it’s been more than two months." Ning Yu calculated the days.

"If I tested using the pulse, I could determine the ten-days pregnancy period," the Witch Doctor Nochadamas whispered, "But there’s no pulse..."

"From now on, someone must stay by Richard’s side! Remember last time he went to Mosoburada, and no one followed!" Helen huffed angrily.

"Helen... ah..." Ning Yu slightly opened her mouth and shook her head with a sigh, reluctant to continue.

"Could it be?" Liu tapped his head in agony, "I remember last time the Koutao Merfolk paid tribute, the Scepter Shaman Deshang told me a similar story."

"Oh? Let’s hear it," Andulan elder, who had been pressing the pulse for a long time and felt no faint signs of it, switched hands to continue pressing, not forgetting to catch up on the gossip meantime.

...

"Dragon God above!" Two Fairy Dragons gasped in shock.

"I don’t believe this story," Helen shook her head.

"I don’t believe it either, but now I am forced to," Ning Yu bitterly smiled. "Aegean Continent really holds too many secrets, and what we know is just too little."

"Trist then suggested a sensational theory, claiming that since Beamon could evolve into Orcs, and plants could evolve into Shepherd-tree People, why couldn’t other species also evolve into intelligent beings? Similarly, the beauties could as well!" Liu spread his hands.

"Are you implying, this beauty, and the woman Deshang and you talked about while you were trimming sails, are considered intelligent beings as well?" Andulan elder asked nonchalantly with a hint of amusement.

"Stop arguing!" Andulan elder cleared his throat, "Continuing this discussion is useless, none of us can confirm whether the beauty is indeed pregnant, of course, I assume none of you dares to cut open her belly and take a proper look..."

"I believe she is pregnant," Ruona stated confidently.

"Why?" Andulan elder curiously inquired.

"Intuition," Nana answered seriously.

"What about you all? What do you think?" the elder’s eyes then turned to the other proprietresses, who either hesitated or firmly nodded. The subtle arch of the beauty’s abdomen was something no ordinary woman would question her reasoning over; whether there’s a possibility is one thing, but the inner judgment of one’s own mind is another.

A woman might not possess a sensual appearance, but a sensitive heart is indispensable to everyone.

"What about you, Richard?" Andulan elder looked back at the Overlord.

"Stop asking me, with all these bizarre incidents one after another, my head’s going to explode!" Liu covered his head, moaning in pain: "Oh—first it was Elder Wolf causing trouble, then out of nowhere popped up a Three-Pets Shaman, I got dragged around and into a mess, and had to prove Qian Qian’s ’Jane’s Love War Song’ wasn’t just any war song! Now even better, a dolphin and a parrot are both severely poisoned, Swan breaks off with me just like that, and now a beauty pops up pregnant... Oh... I am about to lose my mind..."

"Go crazy later." Andulan elder laughed lightly, "Don’t rush like that, I now have a simple method which can test whether the beauty is actually pregnant."

The eyes of many suddenly focused on the elder. A two-month-old fetus normally doesn’t have a heartbeat yet; so confident was the Andulan elder, what exactly was he relying on?
