The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl Chapter 117

"Hello. We were sent from the Adventurers' guild to help you. Can you tell us about what happened? We may be able to help your daughter," Zi Cheng said to the mother after they were welcomed inside.

Zi Cheng, with her favorability rating system, was easily nominated to be the group speaker. She exuded warmth and was approachable. Add to that her smooth social skills and she was a natural choice to conduct the questioning. She had played the role in the original story as well, and normally Ai Lin would try to compete with her, but in this instance she had no interest. It was an awkward role and wouldn't gain her anything.

The mother wiped tears from her eyes before systematically telling them everything that had happened to her daughter.

"My daughter became pregnant five months ago. Her disposition completely changed for the worse. She insisted she'd met the devil in her dreams. At first neither I nor her father believed it.

But this was to be expected. What normal person would? It was just a dream after all; how could anyone get pregnant from such a thing? But then… several incidents occurred. A few of the girls tried to harm themselves.

Many of the family heads got together and we soon realized the girls were telling the truth. If only one or two of them had the same story, then you could say it was a lie, but when all of them had the same story with the same details…? They couldn't have done it, not without contradicting each other.

There were more than a dozen households affected. We all tried different things to help the girls, but nothing worked. Even the very expensive magician we hired was no help. "

The mother cried piteously after finishing. She looked at them with frightened eyes. She was pinning her hopes on them. She would likely die from heartache if they failed.

"What are you doing?" The daughter had become a skittish colt, frightened of every breeze, and alarmed at every sound, ever since she became pregnant. At the moment Feng Wu was tugging at her hand. The action scared her and she tried to pull away.

Zi Cheng and the others had been preoccupied with comforting the mother, so they hadn't noticed when Feng Wu and Lydia approached the daughter.

She was an emaciated thing, with barely any flesh, just skin and bones, and a protruding belly. It was clear her mental state was unstable. Even her struggle with Feng Wu was weak and half-hearted.

"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Luis stared in surprise at Feng Wu. This normally well-behaved girl was actually putting her hands on a pregnant girl…

Jier and Pei Qing didn't feel the same way. In fact they went over to help Feng Wu.

"Ad- adventurers, why are you holding down my daughter? She…" The mother spoke up despite her fear.

Feng Wu said, "We can still save her."

"What?!" The mother looked at Feng Wu, eyes wide with hope. Her next words came out in a mad rush. "Oh honorable adventurer please save my daughter! Please save my daughter!"

A dim light sparked in the girl's eyes. "Can you really save me?"

"Stay still." Inside her dantian, beyond everyone's sight, Feng Wu was helping Xiao Chun guide a small part of his essence into the girl's belly.

Not a single question was uttered when a faint white light passed from Feng Wu's hand into the girl. What was most important right now was saving her, questions could come later.

The girl felt comfortable. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been unable to keep warm, but now for the first time in a long time, her whole body was warm. It was so wonderful she nearly cried. She marveled at how something so minor could make her feel so happy.

A twinge in her lower abdomen made her look down. Her stomach was deflating while farther down blood soaked into her skirt.

"Dear god! What, what is going on?" cried the mother.

It was a terrifying image to behold. A girl, of just skin and bones, was bleeding so much the blood soaked through her skirt. It was like a horror show.

"Mom! I'm OK! I'm OK! Whatever was in my stomach, it's finally gone!" Her body returned to normal after shedding the black blood. The girl rushed to embrace her mother as soon as Feng Wu released her hand. The two cried in each other's arms for a full ten minutes, as though finally releasing all the fear and anxiety they felt in the last few months. Both mother and daughter invited the group to stay and share a meal, but the group had to decline their goodwill; there were many other homes they had to visit.

"Something big will happen today. Make sure you stay indoors and close and lock all your windows and doors. Do not touch the rain if it rains, otherwise you may put your lives at risk." Feng Wu repeated Lydia's words, word for word like an automated voice machine.

It didn't matter though. She had just saved the girl, so in their eyes, she was as good as a god.

After asking about the location of all the pregnant girls, the group left for the nearest one.

Upon reaching the house they saw that the next family was in a similar situation as the previous family they visited. They went through the same routine and gave them the same warning before moving on to the next family.

Unfortunately they arrived at the third family too late. The girl was screaming as she went through labor with her family by her side, but they were unable to give her any strength. Her cries were desperate and pitiful but no one could save her.

Her belly split open like a cracked watermelon and a black smog shaped baby erupted through the slit. Everyone watched as it flew up. Those who had not used the potion should not have been able to see it, but perhaps it became visible because its grievance or grudge was so strong.
