CHAPTER 668: CHAPTER 670:

Wei Yuantong knew exactly what to say to manipulate the dim-witted Wei Yuanren. Seeing him react, she knew he was already apprehensive.

She walked out slowly, and once again, she heard the immature laughter of the little ghost, "Want to eat meat, eat meat."

Wei Yuantong’s face slightly changed, but she quickly pursed her lips and said, "Wait, I’ll find some for you."

When the little ghost first started eating meat, Wei Yuantong naively cut her own flesh for it to consume the meat and drink the blood.

But she soon discovered that it wasn’t just her own flesh and blood that could feed the little ghost.

On the contrary, feeding it her own flesh was the worst method.

There were so many men and women outside, each with different constitutions, and the little ghost felt different consuming each one.

Some flesh was just flesh, but the flesh of some individuals was unique; consuming their flesh would advance the little ghost’s cultivation.

For example, Mo Shu’s.

The little ghost said Mo Shu was pregnant with two spiritual embryos.

The presence of these two spiritual embryos had also enriched Mo Shu’s constitution with spiritual energy. If it couldn’t consume the spiritual embryos, eating Mo Shu’s flesh would suffice to keep it fed for a month or two.

However, let alone making contact with Mo Shu, it was exceedingly difficult for Wei Yuantong even to catch a glimpse of her.

Thus, she could only look for suitable candidates outside.

Those living in the lower rungs of society, the underclass, would do anything for money.

Plus, it was only a matter of selling a few pieces of flesh.

They were more than willing.

-

Unable to convince Gu Wenjuan to abort the child, Wei Yuanren felt somewhat discontented but was also somewhat relieved.

Naturally, he wanted his own child.

He only sought trouble with Gu Wenjuan because he feared the messy gossip at home.

Now that the old man had officially settled the matter, it effectively silenced those critics.

Next, it all depended on whether the child Gu Wenjuan was carrying was a boy or a girl and whether it would bring honor to his family by being the Wei family’s first grandchild.

Wei Yuanren arrived at Gu Wenjuan’s hospital room and saw her red-rimmed eyes, clearly she had just been crying. His initial urge to scold her lessened a lot, yet his face remained stern, "This situation has caused me a great deal of trouble, do you understand?"

Gu Wenjuan bowed her head with her eyes still red.

Of course, she understood.

But what could she do?

She wasn’t the only one responsible for this situation.

The main culprit was still Mo Shu. Everyone was too afraid to confront Mo Shu, so they came to scold and accuse her, all because she was seen as insignificant and weak.

Gu Wenjuan felt more wronged as she thought about it and started to sob.

Annoyed, Wei Yuanren scolded her a few more times before quickly leaving.

Mo Shu was completely unaware of these conflicts and contradictions, and even if she were, she wouldn’t care.

Time flew by, and half a month later, Mo Shu’s belly had swollen as if inflated.

As her pregnancy progressed, Mo Shu felt she had gained a lot of weight.

While looking in the mirror and seeing her rounded chin, she could hardly believe it was her.

She had never been this heavy!

She could tolerate the weight gain on her face, but even her legs had thickened considerably, which was the least of her worries. What troubled her most was as her belly grew larger, her waist started to struggle with the weight, sometimes causing hip pain so severe that she nearly cried.

It hurt like hell!

To alleviate her discomfort, Grandpa Wu had been extremely attentive, though he rarely encountered such a large belly.

It had only been a little over six months.
