Chapter 5

The demon flower was using his body as nourishment, consuming his life force. In less than two days, he would realize that the thing in his belly was alive.

Hearing this, the little novice monk quickly asked, "Will that young master really come back? Can you really cure him? Why did you say he was pregnant earlier?"

Qin Lily smiled. "He is indeed pregnant."

The little novice monk blushed, seeing her playful attitude. "Miss Qin, you really love to joke."

Qin Lily laughed. "Don't worry. I said he would come back to find me, and he will. This illness cannot be cured by anyone at Qin Kori's clinic. I am the best 'midwife' for this."

The little novice monk: "......"

Should he tell the abbot that Miss Qin's mind might not be completely healed yet?

However, to the little novice monk's surprise, within two days, that elegantly dressed young master was once again carried to their door in a sedan chair.

This time, as soon as he entered, the young master shouted, "Divine Doctor, save me!"

The guards were also very courteous.

In just two days, the young master's face had become even paler, as white as a corpse, with barely any life force left in him.

Seeing him, Qin Lily greeted him like an old friend, "Oh, you're here. From the looks of it, young master, you're about to give birth."

The young master's face grew even paler, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

"Divine Doctor, please stop joking. There's really something in my belly!"

This young master was named Ye An, a wealthy man from the neighboring city. One day, he suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain. He thought he had eaten something bad and casually found a doctor to prescribe some medicine.

But after taking the medicine for a few days, it had no effect. His belly still hurt, and the pain persisted for half a month, even gradually swelling up, just like a pregnancy!

Ye An panicked. He consulted every doctor in the city and took countless medications, but nothing worked. Finally, he heard about a highly skilled doctor named Qin in the neighboring city and hurriedly came to seek help.

Doctor Qin examined him and said there was a blood clot in his belly, then prescribed a lot of medicine for him to take.

After taking the medicine for less than two days, Ye An felt the blood clot in his belly start to move!

Not only did it move, but it often kicked his belly! Moreover, he could hear ghostly wails at night!

Ye An was terrified. This fright reminded him of Qin Lily's words. Could he really be pregnant?

Realizing the accuracy of Qin Lily's insight, Ye An feared that a child might actually come out of his belly, so he hurriedly had the guards carry him back to Qin Lily.

"Place Young Master Ye on the table," Qin Lily instructed the guards while saying, "And prepare a basin of hot water."

"Hot, hot water?" Both Ye An and the guards were stunned.

Ye An looked at Qin Lily nervously, "I'm not really going to give birth, am I?"

Qin Lily smiled at him, with a hint of mischief in her smile, "Didn't Young Master Ye come to me for childbirth?"

Ye An looked distressed, "…Divine Doctor."

Qin Lily looked very young, with a delicate and fair oval face that was quite pretty. At first glance, she seemed only slightly older than Ye An.

Logically, Ye An shouldn't have trusted her so much.

But these days, the thing in his belly had tormented him so much that he was driven almost mad. The thought of possibly having to give birth made him believe that the fewer people knew, the better. And now, the only person who knew about his possible pregnancy was this woman in front of him.

To keep it from more people, Ye An had no choice but to rely on her.

Qin Lily made the guards step aside. The guards hesitated for a moment and said, "We must stay here to protect the young master!"

Qin Lily shrugged and said, "Well then, let your young master give birth in front of everyone's eyes."

Ye An's hairs stood on end at the thought, and at the same time, the thing in his belly moved again!

His face turned ashen. "Get out! Miss Qin didn't say you could stay, so no one is allowed in!"

The guards slunk away.

Ye An looked at Qin Lily with a pleading expression. "Miss Qin, when do we start?"

"Right now." Qin Lily smiled at him and then drew a knife, aiming it directly at his belly!

"...Ahhh!" The intense pain spread through his whole body in an instant, and Ye An let out a scream.

She said we'd start now, but at least give him some time to prepare!

And isn't this basically trying to kill him?

Ye An felt he had been tricked; this person must be here to kill him—was it for the Ye family's fortune? How could he have been so foolish as to trust a stranger so easily!

Just as he was about to call the guards back in, a sharp, strange cry came from his belly!

"Sssss!"

Ye An's expression changed again. "W-What is that?"

Qin Lily's expression remained calm as she drove the knife into Ye An's belly, directly stabbing the(demon flower).

The (demon flower) let out a pained, eerie cry!

This was just a recently awakened (demon flower) and wasn't particularly difficult to subdue.

A special power flowed through the dagger into the (demon flower), causing it to scream more intensely.

Qin Lily said calmly, "Are you coming out yourself, or should I drag you out?"

The(demon flower) struggled violently for a moment and then suddenly made a whimpering noise, as if begging for mercy.

Ye An had already fainted from the pain.

Qin Lily withdrew the dagger and saw the(demon flower) crawling out from Ye An's mouth, thankfully he was unconscious at this point; otherwise, the sight might have terrified him to death.
