Chapter 606: A New Life in the Womb
Forest of Elves, Sunrise.
Although night had already fallen, the lights in Rachel's room were still on, and tomorrow was the day of the wedding, and she tossed and turned and said that she could not sleep at all.
"Ruan Chi, why won't you come yet?" Looking at the pitch-black night sky outside, a hint of resentment flashed in the eyes of the elven swordswoman.
Her fiancΓ©, the Son of Urstein, had left a few minutes earlier, and the thought of his fiery eyes made Rachel feel like she wanted to run away.
"Tuk Tuk!"
"Who?"
"It's me, Elder Gona!"
Hearing a knock on the door outside, Rachel rubbed her eyebrows and dragged her slightly tired body to her feet, but when she opened the door, Rachel was stunned.
Outside the door, in addition to Elder Gona, there was also Cinderella in a wheelchair.
"Mom?"
Rachel didn't expect her mother to appear here, and couldn't help but be stunned, but Elder Gona smiled awkwardly, and then said, "I won't stop your mother and daughter from talking." β
With that, Elder Gona turned to leave, leaving the mother and daughter standing in the doorway.
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Cinderella was the first to break the peace.
Rachel hurriedly walked behind her mother, pushed her wheelchair in, and closed the door one by one.
"Don't wonder why I'm here?" Cinderella asked, looking at her daughter, who was making tea for herself.
Hearing this, Rachel paused in making tea, and the hot water poured out of the kettle almost burned her hands, and she turned her back to her mother. It took a long time to say in as soft a tone as possible. "Tomorrow is the big day of the marriage of Lanyue and the Hundred Days. It's normal for a mother to be here, isn't it? β
"I know you hate me, but that's okay because I don't think I made the wrong decision." Cinderella said lightly.
Placing a cup of brewed tea in front of her mother, Rachel sat down slowly with her hands folded in front of her lap, her head bowed, and she did not say anything.
Cinderella gracefully picked up the cup of tea and took a sip. Then he asked, "Didn't that Titan kid come to you?" β
Rachel's delicate body was obviously shocked, but she still kept her expression unchanged and said softly, "No! β
"Really?" Cinderella asked again in a strengthened tone, and then said lightly, "Child, you are just like when you were a child, as long as you lie, you will keep pinching your fingers.
Rachel was taken aback. Only then did he notice his small movements and hurriedly explained. "Ruan Chi came to look for me, but I didn't leave with him."
"His original name was Ruan Chi, what a strange name." Cinderella put down the teacup and commented on Ruan Chi's name very strangely.
Just when Rachel felt inexplicable, Cinderella's eyes full of sharp eyes suddenly looked at her daughter.
Just as Rachel was nervous, Cinderella's gaze softened, and she asked, "Son, do you love him very much?" β
Rachel was stunned at first, and said in a half-loud voice, "Love, I love him very much." β
As she spoke, Rachel's own gaze became gentle, and she said to herself, "Maybe that guy is sometimes very annoying, and often acts arbitrarily and makes me angry, but it is undeniable that he gives me a lot of warmth, and usually treats me very well, which makes me feel very safe." β
Cinderella listened quietly to her daughter's words, and sighed softly for a long time, "It seems that you really have real feelings, but why is the object of a different race?" β
Hearing this, Rachel was obviously silent, a little afraid to look at her mother.
"Child, you should know that once you are with that alien boy, the consequences will be very strict, even if we allow you to be together, but what about the taboo handed down from ancient times? Different races are not allowed to fall in love, because they are cursed by the gods, and your descendants will be cursed children in the future, don't you know? β
"I know, the moth still knows that the flames will burn off its wings, but it will still put out the fire, I ...... Probably the moth. Rachel said sadly.
Cinderella stared at her daughter with a determined face, and half-sounded, Cinderella's face was full of disappointment and self-blame, "When I was a child, I still remember that you were a very sensible child, but I didn't expect that you would become like this after ten years of not seeing you, it seems that I, as a mother, was too negligent." β
"No, Mom, I haven't changed at all, it's just that fate made me run into him and messed up my originally planned life." Rachel said urgently.
"Then would you like to restore your old life?" Cinderella said suddenly.
"Can you go back?" Rachel asked with a wry smile.
"Absolutely." Cinderella's face was serious, and she said in a deep voice, "As long as you are willing to cut off that Titan kid, then you can turn back." Tomorrow, as long as you marry the prince of Ustan of the Hundred Days Lineage, you will be the benefactor of the entire Lanyue Lineage, and my father and I, as well as the people of the entire Lanyue Lineage territory, will be proud of you. Not only that, but your sister Cynthia will also be proud to have such a sister. β
Listening to Cinderella's words, Rachel's mind couldn't help but flash an imaginary image, her eyes brightened, and she murmured, "Yes, that kind of glory has always been what I longed for before, and even as soon as the wedding is over tomorrow, my sister will recognize me......"
"That's right, kid, that's the way out for you." Cinderella grabbed her daughter's hand and said bitterly, "As long as tomorrow's wedding goes smoothly, then YiqiΔ will be better, and your life will continue according to the original trajectory, and you are still the proud daughter in my eyes." β
"The original trajectory?" Rachel smiled distractedly, suddenly broke away from her mother's hand, shook her head, and said, "No, I have no turning back." β
"Why?" Cinderella's voice suddenly raised, the soft gaze in her eyes was gone, and she became a little calm, "Do you want to ignore the interests of the whole clan for the sake of a man of a different race?" β
"Mom, aren't I already in the Dawn Ridge now? Are you still worried that I'll run away tomorrow? Rachel looked at Cinderella. Suddenly, I felt that the woman in front of me was a little strange.
"I'm not worried about you. But I'm worried about that Titan boy. The Council of Elders contacted me, do you know what happened this morning, that kid actually broke into the Elven King City and attacked Queen Denissa. Cinderella sneered.
"He attacked Queen Dinessa?" Hearing this, Rachel was also taken aback, she didn't expect Ruan Chi to be bold enough to attack Denisha.
"That kid of the Titan clan is already an enemy of our elven clan, don't think that he can come and take you away, don't be afraid to tell you, tomorrow's wedding. Your sister has led the Silver Wings Third Legion to defend the various checkpoints into the Dawn Ridge, and if that Titan kid appears, he will surely die. β
Rachel's face turned pale when she heard this, thinking of what Ruan Chi said to herself last night, Rachel thought that Ruan Chi would appear on the wedding day.
Cinderella didn't know when Rachel would leave, her mind was just a mess now, and if Ruan Chi really appeared tomorrow, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
"No, I have to stop him."
Rachel stood up anxiously and walked outside. But when she came to the door, she froze. Rachel suddenly found that she didn't seem to have much to do.
"Is this just the way to wait for tragedy to happen?"
Rachel stood motionless at a loss until there was another knock on the door outside, and Rachel opened the door, this time only Elder Gona entered.
"Kid, are you alright?" Seeing Rachel's pale face, Elder Gona's heart ached for a while, but now, it was useless for her to say anything.
"Mom told you to come to me?" Rachel's eyes were full of wariness, and since she knew that Elder Gona was doing something for her mother, Rachel had become a little more disappointed in the former elder.
Especially in the two days that she lived in Yaori Ridge, Elder Gona had been playing the role of the old man, constantly speaking for the prince of Ustan and doing ideological work for Rachel from time to time, so that Rachel gave up the idea of going to Ruan Chi.
Rachel understood Elder Gona's position, but Rachel was still disappointed.
Feeling the look of vigilance in Rachel's eyes, Elder Gona was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, "Patriarch Cinderella has already left, and I came back to find you myself." β
"So Elder Gona and I still have room to talk?" Rachel was already in a bad mood, and when she said this, she unconsciously felt a little more ironic.
Elder Gona felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but the matter she had to discuss with Rachel today was so important that she had to continue.
"Rachel, I know you're disappointed in me, but there's one thing I'd like to confirm."
Hearing the solemnity in Elder Gona's tone, Rachel took a deep breath and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"You ......" Elder Gona seemed to stop talking, and she couldn't say it when she opened her mouth a few times.
Rachel seemed to sense something, especially when Elder Gona's gaze clearly swept over her lower abdomen from time to time, and Rachel vaguely guessed something.
"Rachel, you...... Are you pregnant? Elder Gona finally spoke.
When Rachel heard this, her reaction was very calm, and when Elder Gona saw this, she immediately knew the answer, and said with a wry smile, "This morning, I was a little suspicious when I saw you vomiting, you should know that our elves are quite sensitive to the breath of life, combined with the faint aura of the new life in the womb, I almost conclude." β
"Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you." Rachel touched her lower abdomen, and the look in her eyes became gentle, "I only discovered it in the last two days. β
In fact, when she found out that she was pregnant, Rachel herself was shocked, you know, the chance of conception is very low when different races are combined, not to mention that Rachel herself is an elf race with a very low fertility rate.
Rachel thought she would get pregnant one day, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. As Elder Gona said, elves are very sensitive to the breath of life.
When Rachel felt the formation of the new life in her womb, Rachel was very sure that she was pregnant, but Rachel did not dare to tell Ruan Chi about this.
In fact, these days, Rachel is still thinking about whether to have this child, because of the interracial union, the offspring is destined to be the son of a curse.
Thinking that her flesh and blood would be cursed in the future, Rachel's heart ached faintly, and naturally she didn't dare to tell Ruan Chi about this doomed bad news.
"Rachel, this kid can't stay." Elder Gona said in a trembling voice.
Of course, Rachel knew that the child could not be kept, but it was her own flesh and blood, and if Rachel wanted to end its life with her own hands, Rachel would not be able to do it to herself.
"Elder Gona, have you told your mother about this?" Rachel sighed.
"No, I didn't tell Patriarch Cinderella, but you should also know that after a long time, Patriarch Cinderella will still know." Elder Gona said.
"Thank you, Elder Gona, for continuing to keep it a secret, no matter what." Rachel suddenly grabbed Elder Gona's hand and pleaded.
"I don't have to, but Rachel, how long do you think this secret will be kept?"
"You can keep it for as long as you can, at least, when tomorrow's marriage is over, the day when the Hundred Days One Vein will open up the earth's veins and let the spring water of the Fountain of Life flow to our Lanyue One Vein."
"Rachel, do you want to ......" Elder Gona seemed to think of something terrible, grabbed Rachel's shoulders and said excitedly, "you can't do this, once you do, you will really become a traitor to our elves." β
"I've been a traitor for a long time, haven't I?" Rachel said lightly, "This is the best of both worlds I can think of, and I will bear the consequences when the time comes." β
"But ......"
"Elder Gona, please, only you can help me with this." Rachel suddenly stood up and knelt down on her knees towards Elder Gona.
Elder Gona hurriedly held Rachel in her arms and nodded tearfully, "I understand the child, I promise you." β
"Thank you!" Rachel smiled slightly, gave Elder Gona a hug, and whispered in her ear, "When this is over, my mother's side, I will explain it to her personally." β
"Patriarch Cinderella wondered how she would react if she knew she was about to become a grandmother?" Elder Gona smiled bitterly.
Hearing this, Rachel's expression was complicated, and her heart was also not happy.
β¦β¦
At the same time, the person Rachel was thinking about was still fighting in the Holy Spirit Temple, and when Ruan Chi got the fragment of the first Holy Spirit movement, a spiral staircase appeared out of thin air.
System: You have discovered the second floor of the Holy Spirit Temple.
Through the guΓ² staircase, Ruan Chi arrived at the second floor of the Blood Tower.
This place was no different from the first floor, the only difference was that when Ruan Chi stepped into this space, a snow-white one-horned giant wolf had already appeared in front of him.
Ruan Chi took a look at the giant wolf, its appearance was almost the same as Beilu's, the only difference was that its fur was not blood-red but white, and before he could get closer, he could feel a burst of cold air rushing towards his face. (To be continued......)
