As long as he has the ability, Luo Yang would help Shuiyue and Jinghua.
The two won’s desire to survive was quite strong, making it clear they didn’t want to die.
"Can you pretend to be pregnant?" Luo Yang asked.
Shuiyue and Jinghua weren’t from an acting school, so how could they have such high acting skills?
"How to pretend? Like this?"
As she spoke, Shuiyue slightly pushed out her belly.
But she wasn’t pregnant, just had a slender waist, and the more she pushed out her belly, the more obvious it was that she wasn’t pregnant.
Luo Yang internally sighed, laughing, "This won’t work. Sister Jing, you try it."
Then Jinghua also tried to act pregnant, but it didn’t work either.
Seeing Luo Yang shaking his head, Shuiyue and Jinghua laughed, saying, "Darling, why don’t you try showing us how it’s done."
Luo Yang chuckled, "I’m a man, how could that work? Just try to stay calm. If Lord Bao asks why you don’t have a belly bump, just say maybe you’re eating less, so it’s small. I’ll help you explain, perhaps we can get by."
While chatting idly, they were already near their destination.
The three exchanged a few looks for good asure, avoiding the need for eye contact communication at the mont.
Shuiyue went ahead to pave the way, followed by Luo Yang and Jinghua.
When they descended through the basent entrance, Luo Yang silently prayed that Shuii wasn’t inside.
Then what he feared ca true.
Shuii was actually in the pool, and upon seeing Luo Yang, she felt both delighted and resentful.
"You, why, were so, long, not coming, to see ?" Shuii chided resentfully.
Every ti Shuii spoke, Luo Yang felt like she could run out of breath while talking.
She resembled a patient in the middle of a mass, nearly ascending to heaven, murmuring her last words with her remaining strength.
Sitting at the edge of the pool, holding Shuii’s hand, Luo Yang said emotionally, "I think about you every day, but to help you get the Blood Devil, I’ve been enduring the pain of missing you while working outside. Once I get the Blood Devil, I’ll be with you and Sister Teng every day to enjoy life."
So lies require courage to speak.
Facing Shuii, if not whispering sweet nothings, who can guarantee she wouldn’t lash out?
Shuii listened, and she was indeed very pleased.
"You, with that, kind thought, makes , very, happy!" Shuii’s head surfaced, leaning against Luo Yang’s leg.
"I will also cure your illness, so you can walk on land soon," Luo Yang vowed.
Upon hearing this, Shuii was even happier; her fish tail joyfully splashed the water, sending sprays over to Luo Yang.
Luo Yang wiped the water drops off his face, laughing, "Once I get the Blood Devil, you’ll have to teach how to swim. I want to be in the water with you every day."
Shuii was even more delighted, laughing, "You, co, into the water, play with, ."
She spoke while attempting to pull Luo Yang into the pool.
Watching Shuii so happy, Luo Yang’s emotions were mixed.
The thing is, he also needed the Blood Devil.
This was Luo Yang’s biggest disagreent with Skull Fortress.
They could still talk and laugh now, as the Blood Devil hadn’t been found.
Once news spreads about who the Blood Devil falls to, it would be Skull Fortress’s ti to hunt Luo Yang.
To avoid this conflict, Luo Yang must secretly obtain the Blood Devil.
He had the ability, just lacking the thod to seal the Blood Devil.
"Madam Shuii, listen to . I have matters to discuss with Madam Teng about the Blood Devil. If we don’t act quickly, sobody else might take the Blood Devil. Allow to handle the serious business first, and after getting the Blood Devil, we’ll celebrate and have fun together. Is that okay?" Luo Yang said politely.
To avenge the lord, only by obtaining the Blood Devil could he confidently take action against the Eight Immortals Hall and other Major Powers.
It’s now waiting for the Blood Devil.
"Then, you hurry, and, return quickly. I’ll wait, here for, you." Shuii laughed.
Luckily, her teeth weren’t sharp, otherwise her smile would scare Luo Yang like one Buddha being born, another floating away.
"I’ll go discuss with Madam Teng first, talk to you later." Luo Yang stood up.
Only then did Shuii shift her gaze to Shuiyue and Jinghua.
Suddenly she said, "You two, pregnant?"
Her tone carried a hint of jealousy.
After all, Lord Bao and Shuii had requested that Shuiyue and Jinghua shouldn’t be pregnant with Luo Yang’s children; later, hearing they were pregnant made Shuii upset.
"In response to the second commander, we’re pregnant," Shuiyue timidly replied.
"You dare, to compete, with, ..."
Seeing Shuii about to lose her composure, Luo Yang hurriedly interrupted her.
Firstly, worried she’d run out of breath from talking too quickly.
Secondly, to prevent Shuii from angrily punishing Shuiyue and Jinghua.
"Madam Shuii, please listen to ." Luo Yang sat down again.
After staring for a while, Shuii had to allow Luo Yang to speak further.
Even if she wanted to spill everything she wanted to say, it was impossible.
Luo Yang gently stroked Shuii’s smooth head, persuading, "Madam Shuii, don’t bla Sister Yue and Sister Jing, if anything, bla . Allow first to discuss with Madam Teng, and then you can reprimand later, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Shuii puffed her cheeks, thought for a mont, and only then nodded.
At this point, Shuiyue and Jinghua were almost pale with fright.
Earlier, they nearly faced Shuii’s wrath, but luckily Luo Yang spoke up to save them.
When Luo Yang got up to leave, Shuiyue and Jinghua didn’t dare move.
In the end, Luo Yang held one in each hand, pulling Shuiyue and Jinghua away.
After walking so distance, out of Shuii’s sight, Shuiyue rose on tiptoes, bit Luo Yang’s ear, and whispered her thanks, "Darling, thank you for saving us."
Jinghua also bit his other ear gratefully, "If it wasn’t for you, Shuiyue and I would have been in trouble."
The two won knew one fact: if not clinging tightly to Luo Yang, they could be attacked by Lord Bao or Shuii at any ti.
Luo Yang nibbled Shuiyue and Jinghua’s ears, saying the sa thing.
"We’re family, you don’t need to say such formal words."
Such words delighted the two won, and they both smiled sweetly.
They were about to reach the bed covered in vegetation where Lord Bao was, and everyone—Luo Yang, Shuiyue, and Jinghua—felt tense.
The reason for their nervousness was the concern that Lord Bao might see through Shuiyue and Jinghua’s fake pregnancy.
If the truth was exposed, Luo Yang might not face any issues.
But Shuiyue and Jinghua would face the danger of being killed by an enraged Lord Bao.
Lord Bao wouldn’t forgive Shuiyue and Jinghua.
If it weren’t for Luo Yang’s plea, Shuiyue and Jinghua would have already suffered severe punishnt from Lord Bao.
At that ti, Luo Yang was diligent in pleading, securing Shuiyue and Jinghua a chance to live on.
Of course, Lord Bao also had her plans: she wanted Shuiyue and Jinghua to bear Luo Yang’s children to use as leverage against him.
If Lord Bao found out Shuiyue and Jinghua weren’t pregnant at all, her fury would be unimaginable.
After all, this was the second big lie to Lord Bao.
No leader could tolerate subordinates repeatedly lying; not killing Shuiyue and Jinghua wouldn’t sufficiently vent the inner hatred.
