He and An Lie had been wandering around for all these years. Both of them had achievements and had their own path of cultivation. They had also encountered opportunities and dangers.
His leg also had a lot, but the foot could not grow back.
Later on, when he found out that An Xiaoou was still alive, he and An Lie rushed to the capital to meet her.
When their relatives met, they were emotional. An Xiaoou had already become a mermaid, her home was deep in the sea.
What happened in the future was for the future. It was fine as long as they were together.
An Xiaoou was pregnant, so he and An Lie stayed behind. They planned to continue exploring after she gave birth safely.
An Xiaoou’s pregnancy was indeed different, so they were all very worried about her.
Now that Su Xiaolu was here, An Lie and An Cheng had more hope. After greeting her, An Cheng said, “Xiaoou is in the lake. Shall we go over now?”
Su Xiaolu nodded and went over to take a look first.
Su Xiaolu followed An Lie and the others into a courtyard.
The courtyard was very large. When the door was opened, there was a corridor, and in the center of the corridor was the lake.
In the lake, a human-headed figure with a fishtail was swimming. Her tail was golden-red and gorgeous.
Hai Ming walked over and patted the lake gently. An Xiaoou swam over.
Her eyes had already turned golden, and her appearance had changed drastically. She looked at Su Xiaolu and opened her mouth. A gentle voice came from her mouth. “Miss Su, is that you?”
Su Xiaolu squatted down and looked at An Xiaoou, who had already turned into a mermaid. She nodded. “Xiaoou, it’s me.”
An Xiaoou had already lost the ability to speak with her mouth. Although she opened her mouth, she did not speak with her mouth. Instead, she relied on the sound waves in her vocal cords.
“Xiaoou, give me your hand. Master will take your pulse.”
An Lie was a little worried because An Xiaoou’s stomach was really big, bigger than a human child.
An Xiaoou reached out. There was a thin layer of scales on her arm. Su Xiaolu took her pulse. An Xiaoou’s golden-red fishtail slowly swayed underwater.
An Xiaoou’s pulse was actually not much different from a human’s, but she could not transform into a human.
Su Xiaolu looked at her swaying figure under the water and said, “Come out of the water and let me see your stomach.”
An Xiaoou raised her head gently and lay flat on her side. She surfaced. Her stomach was unusually big, and she had a fishtail. No matter how one looked at her, she looked terrifying.
With such a big child, An Xiaoou was actually very tired. She could only stay underwater day and night. She felt especially uncomfortable. She actually wanted to go out and see the sunlight, but she couldn’t. Once she went ashore, her entire body would quickly dehydrate and she would suffocate.
Su Xiaolu reached out and touched it. She felt the fetus in An Xiaoou’s stomach move.
An Xiaoou was a little weak.
Su Xiaolu looked at Hai Ming and asked, “In your clan’s land, will you grow so big after getting pregnant?”
Hai Ming shook his head. “No, the child will usually be born when it’s about the same size as Xiaoou.”
An Xiaoou’s stomach was really too big, but because of her specialness, no one dared to act rashly. They were all waiting for her to give birth naturally.
In the natural pregnancy rules of humans, An Xiaoou had long exceeded the time limit. She should have given birth long ago, but according to the rules of the merpeople, it was not time for her to give birth to the child yet. However, according to the size of the child and An Xiaoou’s endurance, she clearly could not wait for two more years.
“Xiaoou’s child is already very healthy. He can be born now.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Hai Ming and finally at An Xiaoou.
An Xiaoou’s body was already in a state of stress. Every day this child stayed in her womb was a day of torture for her.
In the past, An Xiaoou could still take human form, but she could no longer do so now. She could only soak in the water all day.
Because she was special, so was her pregnancy. Su Xiaolu decided that her pattern should be similar to that of a human. She could give birth after ten months of pregnancy, but she was already a member of the merpeople. Her soul memory made her child grow according to the human race, and the merpeople’s body made her child follow the pattern of the merpeople. It was impossible for them to wait until the melon was ripe because An Xiaoou would die before that time came.
“Miss Su, but, but according to the natural laws of the merpeople, I can’t give birth yet. They expect me to give birth in the first month because my stomach is too big.”
An Xiaoou was a little worried. She didn’t know what to do.
“If we act according to the rules of the merpeople, you will die before the child is born.”
Su Xiaolu told the truth.
An Xiaoou frowned. “Then, what if my child hasn’t grown up?”
This was what An Xiaoou was most worried about. She was afraid that her child would not have intelligence because she was special. In the merpeople’s race, their children might not be able to develop intelligence and would only become ordinary sea creatures in the end. She was afraid that her children would be the same. In the end, they would only be ordinary sea creatures in the sea. They would not understand emotions and could not remember their parents.
Su Xiaolu lowered her gaze and landed on An Xiaoou’s huge stomach. “See for yourself. If this isn’t good, then I can only say that it’s fate. If it weren’t for the fact that there’s only one heartbeat inside, a stomach like yours would be the size of three full-term children in the human race.
“This child has already begun to absorb your power. Your body will become weaker and weaker. Moreover, you can’t give birth to him at all. You can only cut open your stomach and take the child.”
Su Xiaolu looked at An Xiaoou’s weak expression. An Xiaoou’s example meant that humans and other races could not be combined.
If the rules were broken, they would definitely live and die together. Either the child would die or the mother would die.
The merpeople would be pregnant for two years, while humans only needed ten months. As for the other races, some only needed four months. As for the humans, it took four months for the children to take human form. Four months was not enough time for the human infants to mature.
After transcending races, children still had to grow according to the rules of the human race. They had to live for ten months. However, according to the other races, if it was a wolf race, they would have to give birth in three to four months. No matter which outcome it was, it would be a tragedy.
Although An Xiaoou’s child was healthy, if An Xiaoou gave birth naturally, the mother and child would definitely die.
“Miss Su, please save Xiaoou. I’m willing to use spiritual liquid as payment. Please help me take this child out. Don’t let him continue to grow and absorb Xiaoou’s life force.’
Hai Ming looked at Su Xiaolu and said sincerely.
Su Xiaolu nodded. “Sure.”
Actually, even if Hai Ming didn’t ask her, she would still help because An Xiaoou was An Lie’s sister and An Lie was her disciple.
An Xiaoou subconsciously touched her stomach, her eyes filled with hesitation and conflict.
She was afraid that her child had not grown up yet.
“Hai Ming, what if the child hasn’t matured yet? Won’t we harm him if we take him out?” An Xiaoou was a mess. She was afraid that she would regret it for the rest of her life because the bad outcome was too heavy..
