Old Yu took Shuyan to his sister’s room. Originally, it was just him, his wife, and his mother at home, but when his sister hadn’t given birth after nine months, Old Yu was really worried. In addition, his brother-in-law had always been unreliable and didn’t care much about his sister.

His sister’s mother-in-law wasn’t easy to get along with either. Her attitude toward Old Yu’s sister had changed when she had first gotten pregnant, which was pretty good. When the child still hadn’t been born after more than nine months, however, her face completely changed when she looked at Old Yu’s sister and the child in her stomach.

It was really difficult for Old Yu’s sister to stay with her husband’s family, who didn’t care about her at all. Seeing his sister’s face getting paler and her complexion getting worse, Old Yu really had no choice but to bring her home.

After bringing her home, his sister’s husband and mother-in-law hadn’t seen her for almost half a year. Seeing how cold and heartless that family was, how could he dare send his sister back to that house?

So, his sister had stayed with him all this time.

Fortunately, his wife had a good relationship with his sister, and was a gentle person. She was more than happy to let his sister stay with them. His mother also doted on his sister and usually took care of her, but she was a little superstitious.

Of course, after what he had experienced, Old Yu did believe in some superstitions, but some superstitions couldn’t be blindly believed, right?

For example, his sister had been pregnant for so long and hadn’t given birth. He and his wife were anxious, but his mother kept saying that his sister was pregnant with the immortal Nezha.

Only his mother would believe such an unreliable and brainless thing. Old Yu didn’t believe a word of it, and felt that his sister’s stomach was strange in every way.

That was why he asked Shuyan for help.

Chi Shuyan followed Teacher Yu into a room at the end of the corridor. When she pushed the door open, Chi Shuyan stood at the door and saw a woman with a pale face and haggard complexion half-lying in bed.

Her hair was tied up casually and she was dressed simply. The color of her clothes was very plain, and there was a blanket over her stomach.

She looked older than Teacher Yu, but she definitely wasn’t.

The deepest impression Chi Shuyan had of Teacher Yu’s sister in front of her was that she was thin. Usually, pregnant women would gain some weight, but Teacher Yu’s sister was frighteningly thin and her complexion didn’t look good. It was hard to imagine that she was pregnant.

The commotion at the door alerted Yu Wei, Teacher Yu’s sister. Teacher Yu’s name was Yu Sheng. Yu Wei, who was usually a little timid, was alarmed when she heard the noise. When she saw her brother and sister-in-law, Yu Wei heaved a sigh of relief and called out, “Brother! Sister-in-law!”

After that, Yu Wei realized that there was a beautiful young lady next to her brother and sister-in-law. Chi Shuyan was very beautiful and didn’t look aggressive. Yu Wei had a good first impression of this young lady, so she wasn’t afraid. After gasping a bit, she asked with difficulty, “Brother, who is this young lady?”

Teacher Yu was worried when he heard how difficult it was for his sister to say a few words. He hurriedly walked over and said, “Okay, okay, Xiao Wei, don’t be in a hurry to speak. This is my student. She’s here to see you!”

Ever since his sister got pregnant, she had become weaker and her situation had become more and more abnormal. Only his mother believed that the child in his sister’s stomach was an immortal, and that a little suffering was expected.

He felt that if this continued, his sister would lose her life.

Teacher Yu didn’t dare show the slightest bit of worry on his face. The more he looked at his sister’s weak face, the more alarmed he became. He hoped that Shuyan could see something.

Teacher Yu’s wife also looked at her sister-in-law worriedly. There was a bit of an age gap between Xiao Wei and Ah Sheng. When Teacher Yu’s wife married into the family, Xiao Wei hadn’t married yet. They knew each other for many years and were very close. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Teacher Yu’s wife was almost like a mother to Xiao Wei.

At that moment, Kong Yingjin, Teacher Yu’s wife, also echoed in concern, “Xiao Wei, do you want some water? I’ll pour some for you.”

Taking advantage of the moment when Teacher Yu and his wife’s attention was on Yu Wei, Chi Shuyan also began to examine Teacher Yu’s sister. The more she looked, the more she frowned.

She saw faint cadaveric qi gathering on Teacher Yu’s sister’s forehead. There wasn’t much of this cadaveric qi, but once a person was touched with it, death wasn’t far away.

If Chi Shuyan hadn’t come this time, Teacher Yu’s sister would most likely be dead in two or three months.

Chi Shuyan was lost in thought. It was only when Teacher Yu’s wife asked if she was thirsty that she came back to her senses and said politely, “Ma’am…”

“It’s fine, just call me Sister-in-law!” Sister-in-law Kong was very straightforward.

Chi Shuyan nodded. “Okay, Sister-in-law, but I’m not thirsty. Just pour some water for Sister Yu!”

When Yu Wei heard her brother’s student call her “Sister,” she felt closer to her. She wanted to get out of bed, but Teacher Yu hurriedly stopped her.

Chi Shuyan, on the other hand, suddenly said, “Teacher Yu, Sister Yu has been pregnant all this time. It’s not good for her to lie in bed all the time. It’s usually better to walk around. It’ll be good for when she gives birth later!”

Teacher Yu also knew this, but when he saw his thin sister walk unsteadily with that stomach, he was afraid that she would hurt her waist. Xiao Wei got so tired from just talking that she had to gulp for breath, to say nothing of getting out of bed and walking around. He was really worried.

However, Teacher Yu trusted this student. In addition, Xiao Wei had asked to get out of bed, so Teacher Yu could only nod in agreement and carefully help Xiao Wei out of bed.

Sure enough!

When the blanket was lifted, the big belly looked very scary. In fact, it wasn’t scary to have a big belly. What was scary was that Teacher Yu’s sister was really thin. As soon as she got out of bed and took a few steps, she started panting and her face turned pale. She felt weak all over and almost fainted. It was Teacher Yu who quickly supported her.

Teacher Yu originally wanted to take back what he said and have his sister go back to bed to rest. At that moment, Chi Shuyan took over and supported Yu Wei. “Teacher Yu, I’ll help Sister Yu. She’ll be fine!”

Chi Shuyan felt that even if Sister Yu hadn’t run into evil, given her frail health, giving birth to a child would likely be disastrous for her. She still had to walk more.

Yu Wei didn’t like lying on the bed like a cripple either. She immediately nodded and replied as she panted, “Brother, I’ll… walk around!”

Teacher Yu was initially afraid that Shuyan wouldn’t be able to support Xiao Wei, but when he saw her supporting Xiao Wei without breaking a sweat, he relaxed.

Chi Shuyan had always been patient. She helped Teacher Yu’s sister walk around for a few minutes. After seeing that she was gasping for breath and couldn’t take it anymore, she helped her sit down on the sofa.

Her stomach was too big for her to sit down, so she half-reclined on the couch. After a long while, Yu Wei’s complexion improved a little.

Chi Shuyan didn’t tell her about her identity as a Celestial Master, but spoke to Sister Yu as a friend. Yu Wei was in a good mood and didn’t think much of it, so she answered almost all of Chi Shuyan’s questions.

From their conversation, Chi Shuyan found out that Sister Yu was only eight or nine years older than her. She got married early at around 21 or 22 years old.

Also, she and her husband had gotten married through a blind date set up by a neighbor who was a friend. After dating for a few months, she felt that he was a good match, and listened to her mother and got married.

Chi Shuyan was a bit incredulous when she heard this. However, she also heard that Sister Yu’s family used to live in the countryside. It was her brother who had worked hard to get into a university and then become a university teacher, which improved their status. She had always been very grateful to her brother for bringing her and her mother from the countryside to the city.

At that time, her brother was just an ordinary university teacher and his salary was alright, while Yu Wei stopped studying after junior high. After that, she lived in the city and worked hard to make a living. Later, she was introduced to a man through a neighbor, which was how she married her current husband.

Her husband was doing well and his family was quite well-off.

It was just that her mother-in-law had never been satisfied with her.

Yu Wei had always felt a little inferior. She came from the countryside and was only a junior high graduate. She had always felt that she was climbing up the social ladder with her husband’s family, so she didn’t dare complain. She just hoped that she could give birth to a boy.

Yu Wei was also very nervous about the fact that the child in her stomach had yet to be born. However, when she went to the hospital a few times, the hospital said that the child was fine, so she relaxed.

After listening to Teacher Yu’s sister, Chi Shuyan’s feelings were very complicated. Her eyes fell on her protruding stomach and she asked, “Sister Yu, can I touch your stomach?”
