In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 130: The Birth of the Snake Poison

With this explanation, one question was answered, but another quickly rose in Rong Qinglei’s mind.

"If, as you said earlier, the concubine was not pregnant," he asked, "then why does she show clear signs of pregnancy? Her belly is swollen just like that of a woman who is five or six months along."

Yue Mingxuan sighed softly.

This was exactly what made the Lovesick Snake so terrifying.

"She is not pregnant," he said slowly. "There is no child in her belly. Instead, there is a pair of young Lovesick Snakes."

His words stunned everyone present.

Even Rong Qinglei could not hide the shock on his face.

Knowing that his words were far too shocking, Yue Mingxuan did not say much more.

He simply took out the silver needles he always carried with him, found a specific point on the concubine’s swollen belly, and pierced it with precision.

Very soon, everyone present clearly saw long, strip-like shapes moving beneath the skin of the concubine’s abdomen.

They truly looked like snakes crawling inside her.

Yue Mingxuan put away the silver needles, then walked forward two steps and pushed open the window.

"Wait a little longer," he said calmly. "You will soon see the Lovesick Snake."

Although what Yue Mingxuan had said earlier sounded unbelievable, the snake-like shadows were indeed moving under the concubine’s belly.

Everyone waited with doubt and fear mixed together.

Sure enough, before long, a small snake swam in through the open window.

Its entire body was snow-white, with only a small spot of bright red on its head.

It moved straight toward the concubine’s feet, opened its mouth, and bit onto her big toe.

A thin green line quickly traveled from her foot up to her abdomen.

The snake shadows inside her belly, which had been disturbed by Yue Mingxuan’s silver needle earlier, met that green line and soon calmed down, slowly disappearing from her abdomen.

Seeing that the young snakes inside the concubine had settled, the white snake released her toe and slithered back out the way it came.

Everyone present was so shocked by this strange sight that they were left speechless.

Rong Qinglei was especially stunned.

He had always thought that because of his weak body, he could only pass his childhood by reading books, and that his wide knowledge was enough to live up to the everyone expectations.

But after seeing the Lovesick Snake today, he realized that the world was vast and full of wonders and that what he knew was truly too little.

"Then, Mingxuan," Rong Qinglei asked, now sincerely impressed, his tone unconsciously carrying respect, "do you have a way to cure this Lovesick Snake poison?"

Yue Mingxuan’s expression dimmed slightly. "One dose of abortion medicine will be enough," he said.

After taking this medicine, the concubine’s life could be saved, but she would never be able to bear children again.

Rong Qinglei gave a subtle signal with his eyes.

Soon, a shadow guard slipped out of the room.

Not long after, he returned with a bowl of already-prepared abortion medicine, followed by a midwife.

Yue Mingxuan helped the concubine drink the medicine.

After a short while, signs of labor began to appear.

Because they were all men, Rong Qinglei and the others withdrew outside the room while dragging Wu Bingjian out with them as well.

Originally, since Yue Mingxuan was unmarried, they had wanted him to leave as well, but Yue Mingxuan firmly insisted on staying inside.

Time passed second by second and the concubine on the bed began to cry out in pain.

Whole jolding silver needles in his hand, Yue Mingxuan pierced several major acupuncture points on her body and forcing out her remaining strength to help her safely deliver the Lovesick Snake eggs.

Soon, transparent snake eggs wrapped in a thin membrane emerged.

At that moment, loud banging sounds suddenly came from outside the window.

Thinking of the Lovesick Snake mother in the courtyard, Yue Mingxuan felt a trace of pity.

He opened the window and let it come inside.

At the same time, the snake eggs slid out of the concubine’s body.

The eggs were completely clear, and inside them, two small Lovesick Snakes were curled together, sleeping soundly.

The mother snake quickly slithered to the eggs.

For some reason, Yue Mingxuan felt that its eyes held both deep attachment and firm resolve.

The mother snake extended its tongue and gently licked the eggs, then suddenly bit down on the thin membrane.

Immediately after, it collapsed to the ground and never moved again.

The midwife had helped deliver children for many years, but she had never seen a living person give birth to two snakes.

Let alone witnessing such a strange and terrifying scene now, she was already so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the side.

Yue Mingxuan had no choice but to step forward himself and handle the post-delivery care for the concubine.

Although Yue Mingxuan had followed the army for many years in the past, the people he dealt with were almost always grown men.

This was the first time he had ever helped a woman give birth.

Before long, fine beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

Just as Yue Mingxuan was fully focused on tidying things up for the concubine, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him.

He instantly became alert and turned his head sharply. "Who’s there?"

There was nothing behind him.

The room was empty, except for the open window, which clearly showed that someone had indeed been there.

His gaze shifted and he realized that the Lovesick Snake eggs that had just been bitten open by the mother snake were gone.

Only the corpse of the mother snake remained on the ground.

Yue Mingxuan frowned deeply. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He had originally thought this was just a struggle between women in the inner household, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

After finishing the cleanup, the concubine on the bed had already fallen into a deep sleep.
