"Because of the king's child?" Everyone was confused.
If this wasn't a difficult labor, then what was it? Seeing her like this, it seemed that she had a different idea from what they were thinking.
"Which one of you will inject spiritual energy into your king's abdomen?" Sima Youyue said.
"I'll do it." A woman volunteered.
She injected her spiritual energy into Ruo Li's body, but she didn't break the connection with herself. When she felt her spiritual energy being absorbed by the child in her womb, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
"How is it?" Elder Sun asked.
"All of the spirit energy has been absorbed by the child in my abdomen." The woman said blankly.
"How could this be!" Everyone's expression changed drastically. They all understood what kind of consequences this would cause.
"Your Wang Huai's child must be a mutated breed. Although it's not time yet, its vitality is extremely strong. If it grows according to the usual amount of spiritual power, it will be very normal when it's born. However, because your queen was injured by a human, the child in her womb was injured, resulting in premature birth. If it was an ordinary child, it would have been fine, but it was a mutated one. Not only did the injury not harm it, but it also stimulated its desire to live, causing it to unconsciously absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. Most of your king's spiritual energy must have been sucked away by it. "
"Then what do we do?" The spirit silkworms cried out.
"The pill I gave her just now can provide her with spiritual energy, but no matter how much it provides, it's not enough for the child in her womb. Once it's finished, your king's life will come to an end." Sima Youyue said.
"Don't you have a way to make it come out?"
"Yes, cut her belly open and take out the child. But if you do that, your king will die as well." Sima Youyue said, "Her situation was that she couldn't give birth to the child. She wanted to give birth to the child, but she woke up with a start. It couldn't stop automatically. No matter what we do, the final possibility is that two lives will be lost. "
"Then what should we do?" Everyone panicked.
"Although the contract will cause your king to lose his freedom, it will ensure the safety of his wife and child. This pill can support your King for half a day. After half a day, if you don't have the power of the contract to heal the mother and son, then this half a day will be the last half a day of their lives. "Sima You Yue said," You can make your own choice. Go ashore with your king, if you please. If you don't want to, that's your choice. Little Seven, let's go up. "
Sima Youyue swam ashore with Little Seven. Seeing them come out, Third Aunt Du immediately asked about Ruo Li's situation.
Sima Youyue told them the truth. Only then did everyone realize that the King's condition was so serious.
"Other than the contract, is there really no other way?" Third Aunt Du asked in disbelief.
Sima Youyue shook her head. "This is the last resort. The other methods, no matter what you do, will lead to two deaths. "
"But Ruo Li won't be willing." Third Aunt Du understood the spirit silkworm and understood Ruo Li. It wouldn't be willing to recognize a human as its master.
"Not necessarily." Sima Youyue felt that Na Ruoli would be willing.
"You don't understand Ruoli. She is a proud woman. She will never recognize a human as her master." Third Aunt Du said with certainty.
"But you forgot that she has another identity now." Sima Youyue said.
"What identity?" Little Seven raised her head and asked.
"Other than being the King of the spirit silkworm clan, she is also the mother of an unborn child." Sima Youyue said. "A woman can do anything for her child, not to mention exchanging it for its life."
"Is this a choice between freedom and a child? This is too difficult for it. "Xiao Wu said.
"There are always many choices in life. You can't escape just because it's difficult. Also, many times, we can't escape. "Sima Youyue sighed.
Xiao Wu looked at Sima Youyue. She still couldn't understand what she was saying because she had never experienced such a situation before. But she felt that what she said made sense. But she couldn't tell where it made sense.
"If it's possible, I hope that she can choose to live." Third Aunt Du sighed. She felt sad that her friend had to go through such a thing.
The spirit silkworms by the shore were silent. They didn't want their King to die, and they didn't want her to become a human's contract beast. And the child in her belly. Their clan rarely encountered a mutated child. If it couldn't live, it would be a pity.
"Let's wait." Sima Youyue found a big tree to sit down after speaking. Little Seven sat beside her and leaned on her, reaching out her hand to play with her hair.
"Yue Yue."
"En?"
"Even if she's willing to contract with a human, there shouldn't be much time left, right?" Little Seven asked.
"Why?"
"She's a sacred beast. Although Zi Qi can tame sacred beasts, he needs to spend a lot of time to completely tame them. This King can't last that long, right? "Little Seven tugged on her hair.
"Since I gave them half a day's time, that means I'm confident. Unless she gives up herself, she can live." Sima Youyue caught a fallen leaf and twirled it in her hand.
"Is there something else that I don't know?"
"There are many things that you don't know! You'll slowly find out later. "
Everyone anxiously waited on the shore for the spirit silkworm King to make a decision. At the bottom of the lake, Ruo Li, who had been weakly pacing back and forth in front of the door, finally woke up.
"King, you're awake!" Her maids happily surrounded her.
"Why am I still alive?" King was in her original form and couldn't move at all. She could feel the spiritual energy in her body flowing towards her abdomen, which made her extremely happy. "Child, my child, you're still alive …"
"King, how do you feel now?"
"Still alright." Ruo Li said, "I remember that before I fainted, my spiritual energy was completely used up. Why is there so much energy in my body now? If I were to give birth now, would I be able to give birth to the child? "
"This …" Elder Sun hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still brought Sima Youyue down for her treatment, as well as her solution.
"So it's like this. I was wondering why there was spiritual energy." Ruo Li lowered her eyes and looked at her huge belly. She could feel the spiritual energy in her body flowing towards her abdomen. It was as if she could feel her own child greeting her in her belly.
"King, that human said that this pill can only support you for half a day. After half a day, the spiritual energy in your body will be completely absorbed by the child, and you will lose your life. Furthermore, because there will be no nourishment later on, the child will not be able to survive. "Elder Sun said.
"So you're saying that the contract is the only way?" Ruo Li laid on the stone platform and looked at the flickering water surface for a long time. Then, she said to the maid beside her, "Bring me up …"
