12. She is pregnant.

After Mo Jiuli finished eating the fruit, she found that her soul power, which had been depleted from refining pills, seemed to have recovered quite a bit. She never expected that these small, sweet-tasting apples would have such an effect – they were truly impressive...

It seemed she didn't need to worry about being unable to recover her soul power after refining pills. So, she took out another batch of medicinal materials and began refining her second batch of elixirs...

In this way, Mo Jiuli tirelessly refined elixirs. When she felt tired, thirsty, or hungry, she would eat a few red small apples. The elixirs she refined gradually improved from being ugly and misshapen to becoming smooth and round, and the number of pills per batch increased from 5-6 to over 20...

Each time when she was about to consume all her medicinal materials, the Heavenly Book would flash white light and provide her with a new set of materials. The pills would also change, from Marrow Cleansing Pills to Blood Replenishing Pills, Energy Replenishing Pills, and so on...

Two months passed in a flash, and the grade of the pills had increased from first-grade elixirs to third-grade elixirs. Whenever Mo Jiuli wholeheartedly refined pills, the dark energy in the air would automatically enter her body without her even realizing...

However, in the past few days, Mo Jiuli noticed something off. Whenever she felt exhausted from refining pills or wanted to rest, she would sit down and practice cultivation...

Although she clearly felt that she had absorbed some dark energy, it also seemed like she hadn't. Even when eating the red small apples recently, she felt that her appetite had grown...

Normally, she would feel full of energy after eating just two of the apples and even feel a bit bloated, but lately, she still felt hungry even after eating three in a row...

She found this strange but was unable to examine her own energy field because her current power wasn't strong enough. She thought that perhaps her appetite had grown due to her pill refining efforts...

Even a certain Heavenly Book character noticed Mo Jiuli's increased appetite lately, so they would stare at her, hoping to see any clues. Unfortunately, they didn't find anything...

One day, while Mo Jiuli was refining pills, she suddenly felt dizzy, causing the elixir in her hand to be burned to ashes...

Stopping her actions, Mo Jiuli rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a sudden chest tightness and even a hint of nausea – feelings she had never experienced before...

Even her usual favorite red apples seemed unappetizing today. Mo Jiuli frowned and then reached out to take her own pulse on her wrist...

Her face grew uglier as she checked her pulse, eventually turning pitch-dark...

In the end, Mo Jiuli sat on the ground with an overwhelming sense of helplessness, looking at the dark night outside, unsure whether she should cry or laugh. Because, she was pregnant...

That's right; her pulse had just informed her that she was nearly three months pregnant! Was Heaven playing a joke on her? If she remembered correctly, her current body was only 18 years old...

At the age of 18, in this world, she could indeed get married and have a child. But the key was that she wasn't married yet, and yet she was pregnant...

Mo Jiuli felt that her entire being was falling apart! She felt incredibly sorrowful and conflicted...

For a moment, she didn't know if she should keep the child or not...

Originally, she knew very little about this world, and the original owner of this body had a complicated background. Furthermore, she didn't know when she would be able to leave her current situation, and she had even less idea if she had the ability to have this child...
