Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Daddy-like Husband Mr. Huo, Ruanruan is Not Wrong

At the mention of the Punishment Hall, Huo Zhi trembled and promptly climbed into the carriage.

In this lifetime, she never wanted to step foot into the Punishment Hall again.

No matter what trouble Huo Chuan was in, it was incomparable to the terror of the Punishment Hall.

Seeing Little Zhizi board the carriage, a smile spread across Huo Chuan’s coarse features.

Ahead, the window of the carriage where the Third Master and Qin Ruan were seated was rolled down.

Qin Ruan peered out, her gaze falling upon the father and son of the Rong Family who were standing at the door.

The father and son were also looking at her.

Qin Ruan raised her voice, "You both have encountered the Evil Puppet tonight and have been tainted with the Dark Evil Energy. It’s highly possible that you will attract other puppets at night. You should avoid traveling after dark for a while. Where are you going tonight? Would you like us to give you a lift?"

"Yes! Yes!!" Rong Jing hurriedly nodded his head.

He ignored the man sitting beside Qin Ruan, whose stoic profile was the only thing visible as she leaned over him.

Qin Ruan warned that they might encounter more puppets, which could be as stimulating and terrifying as a cataclysmic explosion!

If he and his father encountered such a creature again without Qin Ruan present, they wouldn’t be as lucky to escape unscathed.

Considering their safety, the more people they traveled with, the better. Having someone send them to a safe place would be the best outcome.

Qin Ruan sensed that the Third Master’s breathing had become unsteady and his leg, which was under her arm, had tensed up.

She spoke briefly to the father and son of the Rong Family, "Get in then, the carriage at the back is available."

"Thank you, Miss Qin." Rong Changting expressed his sincere gratitude.

"You’re welcome."

Qin Ruan withdrew her head and also rolled up the car window.

She climbed off the Third Master and sat to one side, adjusting her somewhat disordered clothes.

The Third Master’s nostrils twitched slightly as his deep gaze fixed on Qin Ruan, he asked, "What’s that smell on you?"

Since a while ago, he had noticed a strange scent coming from Qin Ruan.

A scent like rotten meat that had been burnt, a decaying smell.

"Rotten meat", Qin Ruan responded rather bluntly.

Seemingly picking up on the faint irritation in her voice, the Third Master relaxed, lounging lazily against the backrest of his seat.

The vehicle started moving, and he remained gracefully motionless.

After straightening out her clothes, Qin Ruan looked out the window at the passing scenery, a faint sense of grievance surfacing in her beautiful eyes.

A brief silence descended upon the quiet carriage, causing the atmosphere to tense up.

After a considerable amount of time, a low sigh echoed within the carriage.

With an expression of helplessness, the Third Master looked at Qin Ruan, his voice tinged with a hint of defeat, "Qin Ruan, this is the third time. Have you taken my words to heart at all?"

"Third time?" Qin Ruan turned to glance at him, completely unaware of what he was talking about.

However, meeting his weary and frustrated gaze, a sudden sense of discomfort crept up on her.

In her previous life, she had seen his expressions of helplessness, self-blame, guilt, and sorrow.

She also knew how frail his body was, falling ill at the slightest sign of a cold breeze.

Seeing such helplessness on Huo Yunjiao’s face again in this life, and remembering his leniency towards her, Qin Ruan felt a strange stirring in her heart.

The bitterness welling up in her heart made her swiftly dismiss any feelings of resentment.

She genuinely didn’t want to see Huo Yunjiao upset; it reminded her of the powerless experiences from her past life when they were separated by life and death.

Huo Yunjiao’s health wasn’t good, yet he had come to pick her up late at night. She shouldn’t act out on a whim given his kindness.

Qin Ruan lifted her arm and with her fingertips, smoothed out Huo Yunjiao’s slightly furrowed brow.

She said in a unconsciously worried tone, "Third Master, don’t frown. It doesn’t suit you."

When he showed up, he put on a cold face towards her, even though he clearly knew her whereabouts. Although deep down Qin Ruan was a little angry, the feeling couldn’t compete with the sympathy she felt for him whenever he furrowed his eyebrows.

Yes, Qin Ruan was distressed.

Huo the Third Master seemed glorious and elegant, but who knew the danger that his life was in.

He was supposed to be the darling of the heavens and favored by Heavenly Dao, yet for unknown reasons, his lifespan was reduced.

Night was the best time for him to recuperate, but it was also when his life force waned quickly, and his body was at its weakest.

Hearing Qin Ruan’s submissive tone, Huo Yunjiao reached out to grasp her trembling hand.

Ignoring the strange scent on Qin Ruan, he pulled her into his embrace, gently holding her close.

With Qin Ruan’s head resting on his chest, his voice became considerably gentler, "Little girl, this is the third time you haven’t returned home at night, you even missed dinner tonight. Do you know the state of your body right now?"

Before Qin Ruan could respond, he sighed again, "You are pregnant now, carrying a baby in your belly. The first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous for you. Given your anemia and this critical period, are you treating your body this way?"

"You are young, the risk you face while giving birth could be greater than others, have you thought about that?"

As he spoke, Huo Yunjiao’s voice couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

This girl really was too careless.

As far as he was concerned, Qin Ruan didn’t understand anything. She had no idea about the state of her body and the torment she would have to endure in the future.

Pregnancy was a tremendously challenging ordeal for a woman, comparable to a war of attrition.

Medically, pain is divided into twelve levels, and the pain a woman experiences during childbirth belongs to Level 10.

During childbirth, the main pain is caused by uterine contractions, equivalent to simultaneously breaking a dozen ribs.

This is the maximum pain that a human being can endure. The agony experienced during childbirth is something only those who have gone through it can truly understand.

Of course, sensitivity to pain varies from person to person, so some may perceive pain less profoundly.

Regardless of how slight, such pain is unavoidable for any woman giving birth.

Even men cannot endure the pain women face during childbirth.

The Third Master was genuinely worried for Qin Ruan. Not just about the danger during childbirth but also the risky phase during the first three months of her pregnancy, and how her body would cope when the baby grew bigger.

Qin Ruan, snug in the Third Master’s arms, savored the faint sandalwood scent emanating from him. Her eyes revealed a sense of guilt.

She didn’t forget that she was pregnant, but she genuinely forgot about the first three months being a period of risk.

Right now, her mind was entirely fixated on the Evil Qi.

Because of her efforts to gather Evil Qi, she often didn’t go home or stayed in the school dormitory.

She needed to think about how, with just a little over a year of life left, the impending sense of crisis would affect her.

Eight months from now, after giving birth, how long could she stay with the child?

Considering her current life expectancy, after giving birth, she would only be able to stay with the child for a few months.

That wasn’t nearly enough!

And it certainly wasn’t what she wanted!

She wanted to speed up the collection of Evil Qi, faster and faster...

The Evil Qi she was collecting would ensure that when the baby grew bigger and she could no longer move around, there would be nothing left for her to worry about.

Even after giving birth, it would also guarantee that she could provide the child with even more nourishment.

As Qin Ruan nestled against the Third Master, she mumbled an apology in a muffled voice, "I know I was wrong."

She only thought about herself, forgetting that there were people who were worried about her.

"Ruanruan, you did nothing wrong."

The Third Master stroked Qin Ruan’s head, his voice slightly sunken, husky, and seductive.
