Chapter 17: Cruel Act
The maid didn't answer, she looked like she didn't hear his words, it was because she was currently fascinated by Yingyue's face.
As people say; The Eternal Moonlight Princess's beauty could change the tastes of normal women, Luo Tian as a man with an extremely handsome face seemed to be less enchanting than her in the maid's eyes.
"Hmph," Yingyue coldly snorted, she even released her aura a little so that the maid's body was shaken.
She was shocked before realizing what she had done.
"Sorry, sorry," she apologized over and over again as she bowed many times.
Yingyue's cold gaze made her shiver, not only did she feel fear, she also felt death.
"Quickly answer if your master asks," Yingyue said.
"I'm sorry young master," the maid apologized to Luo Tian.
"What happened?" Luo Tian asked once again.
"That, that, a woman suddenly tried to force her way into the palace," she replied.
"What do you mean?" Luo Tian became confused.
The case of several people trying to force their way into the palace was nothing new, usually they would be detained by the guards, no one had ever bothered him because of it.
"Oh, this is an interesting thing," Yingyue suddenly spoke.
"Let's see," she added before pulling Luo Tian's hand towards the exit of the palace. She seemed to already know what was going on outside.
Her reaction gave Luo Tian a bad feeling.
They quickly arrived outside the palace, at this time, several guards were guarding the palace doors, but they looked scared because there were two young men standing in front of them.
Luo Tian didn't know who they were, but from their signs, they might be imperial princes.
Of course, sometimes some imperial princes would come to the province, but they usually didn't bother him. At most, they only came for a vacation.
The two princes were not the main highlight there, behind them, was a young woman who could be said to be very beautiful in a loose purple dress. She seems to be from a noble family, the thing is, her stomach now looks distended, she might be a few months pregnant.
Luo Tian was seeing the woman for the first time, but the words spoken by the people watching behind made him almost fall in shock.
When he came, the woman immediately ran towards him.
"Tian, Tian, Tian my husband," she called his name repeatedly and ended her words with a call that made Luo Tian choke.
What are people saying? The woman apparently claimed to be his lover and was pregnant with his child.
He had expected attacks from people who were jealous of him, but he didn't expect them to attack him in that way.
He wonders if they are stupid, even if the woman is pregnant, how can she claim it is his child without any proof. In that world, it was very easy to prove who the father of an unborn child was.
Tricks like that were meaningless in that world.
"Who are you?" Luo Tian asked as the woman almost arrived in front of him.
His words made the woman freeze suddenly, tears then dripped from her eyes.
"Tian, you've forgotten me? We've been lovers for 100 years, I've always secretly accompanied you, but you're pretending to forget now. Is it because you've found a better woman? No Tian, please don't forget me, I don't mind just being your concubine as long as you recognize me and our child."
"..."
"Brat, are you disowning your lover," one of the princes suddenly spoke.
Another prince then said to Yingyue, "sis, this man is a real bastard, he is just a swindler, maybe he has more women out there, you should divorce him before it's too late."
Yingyue looked at the two, she asked, "what are you guys doing here?"
"Sis, we just happened to be passing by and saw this poor woman being bullied," they replied.
"Okay, then come back now!"
"Sis, we are helping you."
"Didn't you guys hear me?"
Yingyue's gaze turned cold.
Even though she was ruthless, there were no rumors that he had ever killed her brothers, perhaps she was still considering their blood relationship. But this time, killing intent radiated from her eyes.
The two princes immediately shivered.
Before they could move, Yingyue suddenly took out a knife.
Whoosh...
She threw the knife at the woman, in an instant, the knife pierced her stomach.
She then took back the knife which was now covered in blood.
There were two kinds of blood on the knife, the woman's blood and the baby's blood in her womb, no one expected her to be so cruel in her actions.
"Yingyue," Luo Tian called out to her in a soft voice, he knew she was now very angry and needed to be calmed down.
The woman was also quite a strong cultivator, the wound on her stomach didn't let her fall, she easily recovered the wound. She then looked at Yingyue in fear.
"Your Highness, I know I insulted you, but I was only fighting for the rights of my son," she said in a trembling voice.
"You're right," Yingyue suddenly gave an unexpected answer.
"Your child's blood really matches his," she added.
Luo Tian, "..."
"Wait, is that me?"
He almost jumped in surprise.
"Yes," Yingyue replied.
"What?"
How does the blood of that woman's child match his, does that mean it's really his child?
He felt that it was very ridiculous, although he had a lot of knowledge, he had never heard of such a strange occurrence. Unless they stole the seeds?
It was also impossible unless it was done by a grand paragon, after all, he had many artifacts on his body. There might be many who could attack him, but there was no way he didn't know, the spirits of his artifacts should have noticed that.
Now he realized his enemy's attack was not a simple attack.
Worse still, it was something he didn't understand at all.
Whoosh...
Suddenly a purple light flashed from Yingyue's hand and it enveloped the woman's body.
The moment that happened, the woman's body began to melt.
"Wait," Luo Tian tried to stop her, but she ignored him.
The woman didn't even have time to scream before completely disappearing, no part of her body and soul remaining.
After confirming the child in the woman's womb was Luo Tian's child, she suddenly killed her.
The people who saw that all looked at each other with stiff expressions.
If this incident were to spread, it would definitely be a bad rumor for them.
And Luo Tian himself froze because he didn't know how to react.
If it really was his child, wouldn't that mean he witnessed his own child being killed by the woman he just married.
