After being comforted, Sang Luo's emotions calmed down.
To prevent Sang Luo from being stimulated again, Yan took her to live in Qingqiu for an extended period, setting up formations around the mansion to guard against further intruders.
Si Ye and the children also eagerly searched for many natural treasures to nourish the divine soul. Sang Luo did not reject these treasures and consumed them all, which helped alleviate the discomfort of pregnancy.
Her belly grew bigger day by day, showing obvious signs of pregnancy, looking about two or three months along.
However, as time went on, the offspring needed more and more energy, and the pregnant mother's body still couldn't bear it and gradually became thinner.
Yan watched day by day, also anxious. The most familiar with the offspring's gestation was still the biological father, and it was most appropriate for him to take care of them. He was also the most capable of finding enough energy supplements for the child.
But Luo Luo's attitude… was obvious to all.
One day, Quan Jin suddenly felt a hidden aura intruding into Qingqiu. His expression changed slightly, and he was about to rush over.
That ghost king! Truly persistent!
But Yan came over and stopped him.
Quan Jin anxiously questioned, "Why are you stopping me? What if Sang Sang is taken away by that Qi?"
Yan shook his head, looked in the direction of the厢房, and hesitated, "It's not him coming."
…
Inside the room.
Sang Luo was sleeping soundly. The quilt next to her was pressed down. She drowsily opened her eyes and saw the tall and handsome man in black, instantly waking up a lot.
"It's you?"
Sha looked at her and nodded, "It's me."
"…Am I dreaming?"
His cool hand touched her face. Sang Luo shrank back, avoiding his hand.
"What are you doing here again?" Her attitude was not friendly.
Having driven away one Qi, why did another Sha come?
No matter who came, she was not welcome.
Sha's hand paused in mid-air, slightly curled back. He lowered his head and swept over her abdomen. Even with the quilt covering it, he could still see the faint signs of pregnancy. Then he focused his gaze on her pale and thin face, his eyes darkening slightly.
"I'm here to see you and the child."
"…" She was speechless. "This is not your child."
Why did one after another want to falsely claim the child!?
"This is my own bloodline. I can sense it," Sha said with certainty.
Sang Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and she really didn't know what to say. "Before you, Qi had already come. He claimed that this was his child."
"I'm sorry, I didn't sense this child in the first place. If I had known you were pregnant long ago, I wouldn't have made you wait so long," Sha said.
Sang Luo felt even more irritable in her heart. "How many times do I have to say it? This is not your child." After a pause, she said mercilessly, "Qi said you are a World Soul! Naturally infertile!"
"He's right," Sha's expression didn't change. "I didn't believe it before, but over the years, I haven't had a single offspring."
"Then you…" Sang Luo frowned, puzzled.
Sha continued, "So, I want to take a gamble."
Sang Luo didn't understand what he meant.
Sha changed the subject and looked out the window, "When Qi was being hunted down by enemies and was on the verge of death, he begged me for strength to help him avenge his grievances. I agreed."
"I made a deal with him."
"He sacrificed a wisp of his divine soul to me as a servant, and I granted him more powerful strength, enough for him to avenge his grievances and achieve his ambitions."
Sang Luo didn't know why Sha suddenly brought this up. She had no interest in the past of the two, but she suddenly remembered the ghost beast following Sha, so this was Qi's wisp of divine soul.
A transaction requires both parties to pay in order to get a return. Sha only wanted this wisp of divine soul from Qi?
Sang Luo couldn't figure it out. At least in her opinion, this wisp of divine soul was of no value to Sha.
Calling it a transaction was more like a one-sided giving.
But Sang Luo was too lazy to ask more questions. Since the Rakshasa King was here, she had another thing she wanted to ask him.
"Why did the Ghost Realm detain the souls of divine beasts? Did you do it?"
"It wasn't me," Sha shook his head. "It was an unfinished matter left by the previous World Soul before he disappeared."
"The previous World Soul?"
"Yes, everything he did was to extend his own lifespan, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed. Without offspring, he would still turn into nothingness after a million years."
"…World Souls can also die?"
"World Souls don't die, but the soul will wither. After turning into energy and recovering again, it will be reborn as a new generation of World Soul. The time for each generation of World Soul to rotate is limited to a million years."
Sang Luo's gaze fell on the man's calm face, she pursed her lips and asked, "Then, how many years have you lived?"
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand years, plus a few thousand years, I can't remember clearly."
"…"
"As you think, I need an offspring," Sha also looked at her deeply.
Sang Luo, "So, you came this time, wanting to?"
"Take you and the child back to the Ghost Realm. I want this child, and only I can provide you with the best pregnancy environment, can guarantee that the child will be born healthy, and will also guarantee your safety."
Sha's tone did not seem to be false, believing that she was pregnant with his own offspring!
Sang Luo suddenly didn't know what to say, only feeling a mess in her brain. These two people are really… whoever speaks has the reason!
Whose child is in her belly?
If she really had to pick the best from the short ones, she would rather it be Sha's child.
Sang Luo temporarily followed his words, "Even if it's your child, so what? If you really want to take on the responsibility of a beast husband, take good care of the child, remember to send food on time, you don't need to worry about anything else, and I won't go back with you."
Sha frowned in displeasure, "Why don't you come with me?"
"What you want is only offspring, isn't it?"
Sang Luo was still very self-aware. Her gaze fell on the man's handsome face, with a hint of self-deprecation at the corner of her lips.
"Rakshasa King's harem has so many beauties, you don't need me, right? The child will not be a permanent life-saving card. You want a child, I can give it to you, but other than that, there is no other relationship between you and me."
Sha paused and said seriously, "I can dismiss the women in the harem."
He had no feelings for the beauties in the harem, they were just tools for him to conceive offspring.
Now that he had offspring, he no longer needed them.
"There's no need for Your Majesty to reluctantly part with your love. It's always lively to have more beauties in the harem. After you take the child away, I won't raise it either. You can raise the child under the name of one of your trusted concubines. I have no objection," Sang Luo yawned, feeling sleepy, but was too embarrassed to directly drive people away.
She looked at the man's somewhat cold face and slowly said, "There is only a transaction between you and me."
"I don't have any beloved concubines, and I won't give the child to a non-biological mother," Sha stared at her starry eyes, his deep, magnetic voice containing emotion, "You are my only woman."
"?"
She was pregnant, not deaf, blind, or a brainless fool who could be easily coaxed.
Sang Luo frowned, "You don't need to say that."
She didn't care how many women he had, it had nothing to do with her.
But if he had to lie to her, that was his fault.
"But, I have indeed only possessed you."
