Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 1729: Chapter 1724: Bitter Fruit (18)

Just wanted the child to have a father.

This reason turned out to be so convincing that Fu Qian, upon receiving the answer, looked at the previously rolling belly, as if something alive was inside, and nodded repeatedly.

Of course, his deeper feelings did not actually lie in this——Don’t look!

Just a slightly bulging belly, if it hadn’t moved just now, seemed more like fat accumulation than real pregnancy.

However, when looking at it or trying to perceive it, the first instinct was a strong sense of caution——Don’t look, or it will impact you.

Interesting.

Honestly, this feeling was not unheard of, such a shock was even given to him by a pregnant noblewoman during a mission when he first met Su Gao.

But although the form seemed similar, the actual difference was quite significant.

Back then, even though he had mastered two powers, he was ultimately just a mortal, but now he was a genuine Newly Advanced Second Order.

Could there be a transcendent being still in gestation that could pose such a threat?

What kind of Godson could this be?

Full of curiosity to explore new species, Fu Qian watched intently.

High-risk, high-reward actions are best taken when resources are abundant, not when you are at the end of your rope.

And as everyone knows, one’s SAN Points are at their maximum at the beginning of a mission.

”Hehe... your gaze is quite unconventional, outsider.”

Ms. Sara evidently also felt the movement in her belly, and thus was particularly sensitive to Fu Qian’s gaze at this moment.

”Is it that such a trait makes you particularly interested? Or is it this outfit?”

As expected from a professional, she was more unrestrained compared to Hilary, who was always behind closed doors.

But when she emphasized the costumes and makeup like this, it always made one think the next line would be ”there will be extra charges.”

”Aren’t you the one who’s less fussy?”

In light of this, Fu Qian instantly shifted the topic to his billing items, gesturing with his eyes to a few tilted wine bottles not far away.

”The first three months are very dangerous, don’t you know?”

...

The flesh did not show obvious mutations, but there was indeed something lingering within.

Like a bitter medicine, advice from a doctor often provokes silence, and Fu Qian was no longer surprised by this.

And in the seconds that Sara hesitated on how to respond, Fu Qian’s gaze did not deviate from her belly, and he eventually came to a conclusion.

[SAN Points -1]

Of course, at the same time, additional charges finally arrived.

Recently, masters were as numerous as clouds, with unconventional SAN Point losses occurring almost one after another.

While feeling amazed, Fu Qian also clearly noticed that at the moment the prompt sounded, that vague, elusive thing seemed to become somewhat tangible, even tearing out a specific sound.

Like a donkey’s bray more than a cry, although limited to the mental realm.

Of course, it was still intense enough that for an instant his forehead felt like a durian shell cracking open.

”Ah——”

Sara, who should have been rummaging through her work experience thinking about how to handle annoying customers, awakened from a dream at that moment, clearly experiencing something.

”Don’t cry.”

With a low exclamation, her first reaction was naturally to gently caress her belly, her face full of the joy of nurturing life.

And completely ignoring the thought of how a baby could cry inside the womb.

”See, even it is not satisfied.”

Fu Qian did not rush to expose this point, even decisively using the situation to criticize and educate the patient.

”Considering the daily operational risks, you can’t be too careful in your situation.”

...

”So, when did you first discover this symptom?”

Seeing that the patient bowed her head in silence, evidently beginning to recognize the severity of the problem, Fu Qian did not press harder and resumed the initial question.

”I... don’t remember...”

Unfortunately, this seemingly simple question was still difficult for Sara to answer.

Murmuring to herself, her facial features nearly clenched together in entanglement, making one feel reluctant to urge.

”Then who is the child’s father? Is he nearby? Can he come over now?”

Fu Qian didn’t insist either, casually switching to a three-part question.

”The child’s father... nearby...”

Unfortunately, Sara still appeared not only confused but unable to respond to questions normally.

Oh, these crazy young people.

Expert Fu sighed deeply, not rushing to ask more, allowing room for the patient to slowly process.

”There’s no one else nearby——why should there be?”

But the effort was not in vain, after much contemplation, at a certain point Sara finally gained an insight, her voice suddenly sharp and repeatedly emphasized.

”Why must a child have a father?”

”Because you were just trying to find one for it.”

In the face of this novel mindset, Fu Qian had no intention of arguing, instead casually using her own reasoning to counter her argument.

...

It was evident that the newly enlightened Sara was once again cornered in an instant.

The specific manifestation was that her already tangled features at that moment distorted to an almost inhuman drawing under pain and torment.

Even the incredible new life in her womb seemed to sense the mother’s emotions, starting an irregular, agitated roll.

The movement was so exaggerated that the tight corset of the bridal dress was inevitably strained, even tearing skin and drawing blood.

”Also, don’t worry, unlike Hilary, I don’t hold prejudices, I believe you can certainly achieve your wish.”

Observing this struggle, sensing the resentment and malice within, Fu Qian gave a casual encouragement to the patient.

[SAN Points -1]

Of course, losing another point of SAN Points was inevitable.

Since becoming a Demigod, transforming into a mythical creature, few things could truly exert such pressure on him.

This mission is indeed not simple.

”Besides, Hilary probably doesn’t know your good news yet, leading to such biases. Is it because you dislike the old church there and are dissatisfied with using it for a wedding, that you haven’t been there in a while?”

”Honestly, it’s totally understandable. If you need, I can recommend a pure white-themed church, the visual effect is absolutely stunning, though it might be a bit pricey.”

Ah——

Fu Qian was naturally referring to the previous White Head Holy Church, and at that moment, it seemed she was finally touched, a sky-shaking yet liberating roar came crashing in.

Even accompanied were warm droplets of blood.

”I remember now...”

When Sara spoke again, every syllable was filled with chaos, as if directly hammering on the will.

”This is the child given to me by Him, the truly great Him...”
