Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Will the Third Master Disagree?

Qin Ruan raised her head to ask the Underworld Envoys, "How much lifespan does she need to give up in order to exorcise the baby puppet inside her?"

Underworld Envoy: "Half of her earthly lifespan. It will be sufficient for us to draw the baby puppet out of her abdomen."

Qin Ruan stepped aside: "Then I shall have to trouble you two."

"You’re too kind."

The Underworld Envoys, with their ethereal steps, moved towards Lili.

This was the first time Lili faced the Underworld Envoys directly. The fact that she didn’t faint was due to the dreadful events over past days having hardened her.

As the Underworld Envoy approached her, she instinctively stepped backward, hiding behind Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan turned and looked at her with icy eyes: "Speak now if you are having second thoughts. I don’t have time to waste here."

"No, no, I am simply afraid."

Lili tugged at Qin Ruan’s clothing, looking pathetically at her.

Her pitiful state was a far cry from her arrogance and domineering attitude of yesterday.

Qin Ruan pulled her hand away, distancing herself once again.

She spoke coldly: "You only have one chance."

Lili’s feet froze, her notion of seeking shelter from Qin Ruan instantly abandoned.

She wanted to live. She hadn’t had enough time to fully enjoy her prime youth, she wasn’t willing to be possessed by the baby puppet residing within her.

The Underworld Envoy approached her again; this time, Lili didn’t resist.

She watched as the Underworld Envoy, holding a chain, approached her slightly protruding abdomen.

The chain eerily intruded into her belly; Lili felt as though all her organs were being stirred.

Pain swept over her entire body, spreading to each limb and tormenting her insides. The agony brought tears to her eyes.

Her face twisted in extreme pain, her grimace disturbing and horrifying.

She also let out sorrowful screams.

The shrill sound tortured the eardrums of those who heard it.

The Underworld Envoy was swift in his movements. Pulling the chain in his hand, he gave a forceful tug; immediately, the cry of a baby echoed in the room.

"Wah, wah, wah——"

"Wah, wah, wah, wah——"

The baby’s cries resonated throughout the entire dorm room. Heart-wrenching, they were utterly chilling.

Sitting not too far off, Ling Xiaoxuan could not hear a thing.

Her gaze was lost on the spot not far from where she sat, which was engulfed by a black fog. Xiaoxuan found it strange—why hadn’t there been any activity today?

The Underworld Envoy extracted the baby puppet from Lili’s abdomen, the chain wrapping several loops around it.

The little fellow frantically tried to fly toward Lili, seeking to force its way back into her stomach.

The Underworld Envoy gently moved his hand, and the chain retracted, pulling the baby puppet back.

The baby’s mournful cries continued to torment those who heard it.

Qin Ruan frowned. Her gaze fell on the baby puppet ensnared by the chain.

It was small and appeared tender and adorable, just like a normal child.

If one ignored its blood-thirsty red eyes and the sharp, dangerous teeth it showed to Lili, it would pass for an ordinary infant.

Lili, due to the excruciating pain, fainted the moment the baby puppet left her body.

Qin Ruan watched the scene coldly, her lips pressed together.

The Underworld Envoy bent slightly toward her: "Miss Qin, we will take the baby puppet away."

"I am indebted to you."

"No need for formalities."

The two Underworld Envoys vanished into the darkness, dragging the baby puppet with them.

The baby’s piercing cries gradually faded until they were completely inaudible.

In a matter of seconds, the surrounding darkness dissipated, and the dorm room returned to its original state.

Light from outside poured through the curtain, illuminating the dim room.

Ling Xiaoxuan finally noticed Qin Ruan’s figure and tentatively asked,"Is it over?"

"Yes."

Qin Ruan walked over to the balcony and pulled back the curtain.

The light hidden by the curtain poured into the room, dispersing the gloom with sunshine.

Ling Xiaoxuan stared at Lili who had collapsed on the floor of the room, her eyebrows knitted together, "What happened to her?"

"She fainted, but she’ll be fine when she wakes up."

Qin Ruan walked out to the balcony, basking in the sunlight.

She was not particularly fond of sunshine, but recently, feeling like she was deeply mired in darkness, she had come to crave the warmth of the sun.

Ling Xiaoxuan got up and came over to her, her voice tinged with a hint of disdain, "Why would you help her? She’s selfish and cruel, and bites the hand that feeds her. It’s a waste of emotion to help people like her."

Qin Ruan laughed a little, "Cause and effect, I suppose. If I hadn’t saved her in the library that day, I wouldn’t have to get involved in her life or death. But since I have, we should see it through to the end."

"Are you alright, though?"

Ling Xiaoxuan looked down, her eyes fixed on Qin Ruan’s flat belly.

She didn’t know if dealing with all these things would affect the child in her womb.

Qin Ruan placed her hands on her stomach, her eyes gentle, "I’m fine, the baby is very calm."

When she was pregnant with him in her previous life, she had no adverse symptoms and her appetite was good.

She had always known that this child was a good one.

"Well, that’s good," Ling Xiaoxuan expressed her relief, "You’ll need to be more careful in the future, you are going to be a mother after all."

A mother?

The words seemed to hang in the air for Qin Ruan, a strange title, yet one that filled her with anticipation.

Eight months from now, the child would be born.

A tiny person would call her ’mom’ with a gentle cooing voice.

The mere thought filled Qin Ruan’s heart with an indescribable softness.

She squinted her eyes and nodded at Ling Xiaoxuan, "I will."

For her child to be born safely, for the child to call her "mother", she would not put herself in harm’s way.

Ling Xiaoxuan leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the students coming and going below, and asked, "Do we have free time this afternoon?"

Qin Ruan leaned against the railing in a relaxed posture, her eyes looking up to the balcony above and replied, "Yes, no classes. We’ll have free days soon as the holidays are around the corner."

"Any plans?"

"No."

Ling Xiaoxuan, her smiling eyes squinted, suggested, "Shall we go shopping?"

"What’s there to shop."

Qin Ruan did not want to move, the weather was too sultry and could make one sweaty all over.

"Let’s go, we could look at baby products along the way. I don’t even know if you’re having a girl or a boy. Once he or she is born, I’m definitely going to..."

Her words abruptly cut off.

Qin Ruan looked back at her questioningly, "You’re definitely going to do what?"

Reconsidering her words, Ling Xiaoxuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

Meeting Qin Ruan’s gentle, smile-filled eyes, the frustration dissipated from Ling Xiaoxuan’s face, she lowered her head and laughed.

When Ling Xiaoxuan looked up again, her face bore a bright and cheerful smile just as before.

"I’m definitely going to be his godmother!"

She said it out loud.

If Qin Ruan wasn’t pregnant with the child of Master Huo, the fourth generation golden son of the Huo Family, she wouldn’t have hesitated and would have said it straightforwardly.

Given Master Huo’s prestigious status, his child would be born with a golden spoon in the mouth.

Once the child in Qin Ruan’s womb was born, with the deep affection from three generations of the Huo Family, he or she would be a treasured existence.

Her wish to be this child’s godmother, might sound like a pipe dream or an uphill task.

Qin Ruan shot her a sidelong glance and asserted playfully, "What’s the big deal about it? Once the child is born, you can personally teach him to call you godmother."

"Really?" Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyes lit up with joy at these words.

"Why would I lie to you?" Qin Ruan answered nonchalantly, exuding a lazy sensuality.

Ling Xiaoxuan furrowed her eyebrows, "But, would Master Huo approve?"
