Mu An felt he had been tricked; this person must be here to kill him—was it for the Mu family’s fortune? How could he have been so foolish as to trust a stranger so easily!
Just as he was about to call the guards back in, a sharp, strange cry came from his belly!
**“Sssss!”**
Mu An’s expression changed again. “W-What is that?”
Wen Qingchen’s expression remained calm as she drove the knife into Mu An’s belly, directly stabbing the妖花 (demon flower).
The妖花 (demon flower) let out a pained, eerie cry!
This was just a recently awakened妖花 (demon flower) and wasn’t particularly difficult to subdue.
A special power flowed through the dagger into the妖花 (demon flower), causing it to scream more intensely.
Wen Qingchen said calmly, “Are you coming out yourself, or should I drag you out?”
The妖花 (demon flower) struggled violently for a moment and then suddenly made a whimpering noise, as if begging for mercy.
Mu An had already fainted from the pain.
Wen Qingchen withdrew the dagger and saw the妖花 (demon flower) crawling out from Mu An’s mouth, thankfully he was unconscious at this point; otherwise, the sight might have terrified him to death.
A foul stench followed, as it was a giant **Corpse Flower**, also known as a **Man-Eating Flower**.
The flower tried to escape, but Wen Qingchen was prepared; she snapped her fingers, and a strange container quickly covered it, trapping it inside!
After dealing with the妖花 (demon flower), Wen Qingchen calmly stitched up Mu An’s wound, applied some hemostatic medicine, and subtly used her healing powers to treat his injuries.
With the妖花 (demon flower) removed from his body and having consumed his life force, it could no longer sustain itself and would have to recover slowly.
When Mu An woke up and found that the lump in his belly was gone, he felt remarkably refreshed.
He was initially stunned, and then, tearfully grateful, he said to Wen Qingchen, “Miss, you truly are a divine doctor. I’m really healed!”
Wen Qingchen, with a mischievous glint in her eye, asked, “Young Master Mu, do you want to see the child you gave birth to?”
Mu An, upon hearing this, fell off the bed in shock. “I-I-I-I really…”
Was I really giving birth to a child?
Oh heavens, why didn’t you just let me die instead!
Seeing his look of despair, Wen Qingchen’s lips curled into a smirk as she sighed, “Ah, it’s your own flesh and blood. Young Master Mu, don’t you really want to see it?”
Mu An’s face alternated between green and white, then turned pale again. Finally, he weakly extended his hand, saying, “W-Where is it?”
Wen Qingchen placed the container with the **Corpse Flower** in front of him. “Here. Your child. Take a look, it really does resemble you.”
When Mu An saw it, his face grew even whiter. But since it was something that came from him, his curiosity got the better of him.
Shaking, he opened the lid of the container and said tremulously, “I-I-Is it…going to…hurt it if I open it?”
To his dismay, a foul stench emanated from the container, revealing a withered and extremely ugly flower lying inside.
Mu An was stunned. “M-My child?”
How could it be a flower?
Wasn’t it supposed to resemble me?
It turned out to be a flower? He didn’t know whether to feel disappointed or relieved.
Wen Qingchen laughed disdainfully. “What? Doesn’t it look like you?”
Realization dawned on Mu An that he had been tricked by the divine doctor. Trembling with fear, he shrank back and said, “Divine Doctor!! You really scared me half to death. What on earth is this? It’s so foul…”
Wen Qingchen stopped joking and said calmly, “Young Master Mu, you must have gone to a forest or some place with many strange plants recently. You ate something you shouldn’t have, which allowed this demon flower with a bit of spiritual intelligence to take residence in your body.”
