The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife
chapter-1858

Years ago, Lin Peiyun accidentally obtained a rare fruit known as the pregnancy fruit. Consuming it caused her cultivation to vanish completely, leaving her powerless until the birth of her child. Even then, her strength wouldn’t return quickly; it might take a decade, not just a year or two, for her to fully recover.

Despite the risks, Lin Peiyun resolutely chose to consume the pregnancy fruit. But after ten long months, she discovered her worst fear: her child was stillborn. Not even the miracle doctors of the Heavenly Medicine Valley could offer a solution. Desperate and clinging to the slimmest hope, Lin Peiyun came to Skyrise City, searching for any chance to save what was already lost.

When Bai Yingfan heard Lin Peiyun mention that Xi Yue might be able to save her child, his gaze darkened momentarily. Yet, in front of Lin Peiyun, he still maintained a gentle expression.

Turning away, Bai Yingfan immediately called Xi Yue into another room. His face devoid of any emotion, he asked, “You said you have a way to save the child in Peiyun’s womb?”

Xi Yue nodded.

Bai Yingfan sneered, his eyes brimming with disdain and anger. “The Divine Doctor of Heavenly Medicine Valley couldn’t save her, yet you think you can? Then tell me, what’s your miraculous method?”

Xi Yue was a bit taken aback. She had planned to show off her newly earned Divine Doctor certification to Bai Yingfan, hoping to gain the trust of the patient’s family.

But now, it seemed that even a Divine Doctor wouldn’t be able to save this child in this world.

But on second thought, it made sense. Most healers were accustomed to using methods suited for cultivators, yet Lin Peiyun had been reduced to a mere mortal. Many of their techniques simply couldn’t be applied, so it was no surprise they were helpless in her case.

Xi Yue pondered for a moment before speaking, “The main issue with Mrs. Bai’s unborn child is a breech position, coupled with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck. Since it’s still in the womb, the exact condition can’t be fully assessed, but the child is indeed still alive. However, how long it will survive remains uncertain.”

“So, the only option now is to perform a C-section.”

C-section? Bai Yingfan frowned but didn’t seem overly alarmed. Cultivators lived dangerous lives, and having their bodies cut open was not uncommon.

Moreover, the method suggested by the young man stirred something within Bai Yingfan. Although it had never been attempted and sounded quite absurd, it did seem to be the best option available.

Yet, he remained concerned. “Are you certain this will keep both the child and Peiyun safe?”

To his dismay, Xi Yue shook her head. “I can’t guarantee absolute safety for either Mrs. Bai or the child. Especially for Mrs. Bai, her current condition is quite special, and she cannot accept any spiritual power. While a C-section wouldn’t normally be life-threatening for other cultivators, it’s a different story for her.”

“You bastard!” Bai Yingfan erupted in fury. “You knew my wife might die, yet you still promised her you could save both her and the child?”

“No,” Xi Yue said firmly, “I told her from the start that she might die in the process. But she insisted on going through with it.”

“I disagree!” Bai Yingfan shouted uncontrollably. “You’re nothing but a fraud! I’m going to have you sent to the Heavenly Medicine Valley’s Enforcement Hall and have your medical license revoked!”

Xi Yue narrowed her eyes, her face showing signs of growing impatience. Before she could respond, Lin Peiyun staggered in, her movements unsteady.

Her face was haggard, her legs swollen, and the usual beauty and confidence she once had were gone. Yet, as she stood before Bai Yingfan, she took a moment to smooth her hair, gradually regaining the poise and charisma of the heroic Lin Peiyun of old.

Lin Peiyun gazed at Bai Yingfan with eyes that were both tender and resolute. Her voice was soft as she said, “Yingfan, do you remember the joy we felt when I consumed the pregnancy fruit and was diagnosed with being pregnant?”
