Chapter 13 When did I lie to him?

When Jiang Li woke up from her faint, she found Jun Yue Lan chatting with an old man and a pregnant seahorse. Elder Xingyu was holding his forehead with one hand, shaking his head helplessly, looking very distressed. He raised his white beard slightly, his lips moved, and he spoke softly, “The other day I was talking to your father about how you haven’t developed a gender yet, we were discussing finding some unmarried merfolk for you to meet, maybe you could find someone you like.

I didn’t expect that this matter had just been settled, when I saw you again, you had become a male, and you actually…” Speaking of this, Elder Xingyu sighed again, his brows still not relaxing a bit, “You actually fell for a land female.” Xiao Jie heard this, and before Jun Yue Lan could speak, he quickly interjected, “Elder Xingyu, I’ve already lectured him, don’t be angry.” Elder Xingyu raised his hand and waved at Xiao Jie, continuing, “It doesn’t matter what female he likes, what makes me distressed is that he actually gave his merman pearl to this female.”

 When Xiao Jie heard this, he widened his eyes, looking at Jun Yue Lan in disbelief, “What? Merman pearl? Jun Yue Lan, is Elder Xingyu telling the truth? You gave your merman pearl to this female?

” Jun Yue Lan lowered his head and pursed his lips, he didn’t dare to speak, he just nodded twice to express his agreement. “Jun Yue Lan, are you out of your mind!”

 Xiao Jie was like a puffed-up bird, chirping around Jun Yue Lan’s ears, “You’ve only known her for a short time and you casually gave her your merman pearl? You know how important the merman pearl is to you merfolk, what if she’s a wicked person? What if she uses your merman pearl to lead the land beasts to attack our Sana River?” Xiao Jie’s barrage of questions made Jun Yue Lan lower his head even more. To be honest, he really hadn’t thought about these things. But even though Xiao Jie was chattering away, he still trusted Jiang Li in his heart.

“I believe she wouldn’t…” His voice was low, he wasn’t confident in what he said. “Oh, my god!” Xiao Jie rolled his eyes and fell backwards, “Oh my god, the innocent little merman has been tricked by a scheming female! Oh my god!

” Xiao Jie’s tone was very exaggerated, as if it were a fact. Jiang Li, who had just woken up, heard their conversation, the more she listened, the more wrong it felt. When did she trick him? When did she become a scheming female? How come she didn’t know? Finally, she couldn’t help but speak. “Hey, you should have evidence when you speak, when did I trick him? When did I become scheming?” Jiang Li’s sudden outburst startled Xiao Jie.

 “Ah!” Xiao Jie screamed; he shrank his whole body behind Jun Yue Lan. “You’re awake?” Jun Yue Lan was excited, his eyes shining brightly when he saw Jiang Li wake up. He quickly came to Jiang Li’s side, carefully looking her up and down, “How are you? Do you still feel uncomfortable?” Faced with Jun Yue Lan’s concern for her, Jiang Li’s heart softened a little.

 She shook her head, “I’m fine.” Hearing this, Jun Yue Lan breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you’re fine, you don’t know how scared I was when I saw you fainted back there, luckily Elder Xingyu was here and saved you from the poison.” Hearing about the poison, Jiang Li’s mind flashed back to the pufferfish she saw before she fainted, her hand was pricked by it, her heart jumped to her throat, she asked Jun Yue Lan fearfully, “What about the child? Is he alright?”

 At this time, Elder Xingyu spoke, answering, “With the merman pearl protecting him, the poison didn’t harm the child in your belly.” Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. “But…” Elder Xingyu changed his tone, he held his breath, making Jiang Li’s heart, which had just settled, rise again. “The child in your belly is a little malnourished, this won’t do.”

 He raised his eyes and looked at Jun Yue Lan, “You need to give her more nutrition, if I’m not mistaken, the child will be born in about seven days.” “What? Seven days?” Jiang Li really couldn’t believe her ears. Isn’t it supposed to be ten months? How come it’s only a few days here?

Faced with Jiang Li’s shock, Elder Xingyu was unfazed, after all, all females who had never given birth would be shocked like this at first. “Beastmen’s gestation period is very short, they rely on their own spiritual power to make the child in their belly grow up. Normally, other beastmen only need three to five days to give birth, but you…

” Elder Xingyu paused, looking Jiang Li up and down, he remained silent. But this action made Jun Yue Lan anxious, afraid that something might happen to Jiang Li, “Elder Xingyu, what’s wrong with her? Will there be any problems?” Elder Xingyu shook his head, then continued, “Her spiritual power is really too low, it’s already a miracle that she transformed into human form.” These two sentences were like arrows, piercing Jiang Li’s heart ruthlessly.

 But Elder Xingyu didn’t notice, he continued to say mercilessly, “Females with strong spiritual power can give birth in three to five days, but she needs to delay for a week. Oh… she’s really too weak.” Elder Xingyu sighed and shook his head, he really couldn’t understand how Jun Yue Lan could fall for such a weak female? Two more arrows pierced Jiang Li’s heart, making her so painful that she couldn’t breathe, she wanted to cry but couldn’t…

 She knew she was weak, but there was no need to say it so ruthlessly, right? “Then… then is there any way to improve her spiritual power? Or will she not be able to give birth because her spiritual power is weak?” The silly merman didn’t understand this, he asked in a daze. “Spiritual power depends on one’s own aptitude, she… her aptitude is too poor.”

 As soon as these last words came out, Jiang Li felt a mouthful of old blood rush from her chest, stuck in her throat, she almost vomited it out.

There was no need to keep poking at her heart, right? “Spiritual power has nothing to do with giving birth, it just takes longer to gestate.” Elder Xingyu looked at Jiang Li again and asked, “You haven’t supplemented your nutrition since you got pregnant, right?” Jiang Li thought for a moment, the only meal she had eaten was just now. She nodded.

“Then eat some good food during that time, supplement your nutrition, otherwise, the child will be weak and sickly when he’s born. Eat more meat, this kind of nutrition comes quickly, remember not to be picky, now it’s not just you…” Elder Xingyu kept muttering.

Jun Yue Lan took out a piece of fish skin from somewhere, his sharp claws wrote on the fish skin. “Yes, I understand, Elder Xingyu, I’ve written it all down.”

 “Alright, that’s all, if there’s anything else, just come and find me.” Elder Xingyu finished speaking and stood up. Seeing that he was about to leave, Jun Yue Lan quickly put away the fish skin in his hand.
