Crossing the Gods as Slaves

Chapter 346 Maid (7)

"Ning Hua, I haven't even asked you what you did in the city that never sleeps yesterday."

"I..." Ning Hua came to the Nightless City to find a passage back to the Three Realms, and then return to her Zhuiji Mountain. However, she couldn't tell the commander this, so Ning Hua hesitated for a moment and replied, "Just wandering around..."

"Just strolling around?"

Ning Hua nodded.

"Can just strolling around be so tiring? Look at you, you don't even have the strength to push me away, and your lips are pale. Haven't you noticed?"

"Well, I found out. Yesterday..."

Ning Hua paused and stopped talking.

"What happened to you yesterday?"

The God was attacked three times by the little tree spirit yesterday, but how should I say this?

Ning Hua shook his head: "I'll be fine after two days of rest."

"Oh, it's okay, you just need to rest for two days, but what about my child? Can he come back after two days of rest?"

Ning Hua frowned. She finally understood why Lu Xiu said that. He thought she was pregnant with his child and had an abortion secretly?

"I told you I'm not pregnant..."

Lu Xiu gave Ning Hua another deep look: "Ning Hua, have I been too tolerant of you, making you mistakenly believe that I, Lu Xiu, actually have no temper?"

Ning Hua clasped her hands in front of her chest, which was a self-protective gesture. In other words, she was very wary of Lu Xiu.

Lu Xiu looked at her like this and smiled coldly again. Ning Hua felt that his smile was terrifying, which made her confused and scared. She suddenly realized that the gentle and considerate Lu Xiu she had seen before might just be a profile of him. She didn't seem to be very clear about what Lu Xiu really looked like.

"Lu, Lu Xiu..."

"Why don't you call me 'Your Highness' now? Ning Hua, it's too late. If you had been willing to give in yesterday, I might have listened to your explanation, but now, I'm really angry."

Ning Hua thought, even if the commander didn't say that, she could tell he was angry, but she really had never been pregnant...

"I, I'm really not pregnant, do you have any misunderstandings..."

Lu Xiu lowered his eyes, feeling a pang of pain and disappointment. If Ning Hua had any sincerity towards him, how could she be willing to abort their child? Was she going to be so cruel just because she couldn't get the marriage she wanted?

While Lu Xiu was disappointed, he couldn't help but guess that Ning Hua was not as sensible, well-behaved, gentle and lovely as she appeared to be. She actually had a cold and cruel side. If he hadn't known that she was pregnant long ago, would he really be deceived by her "sincere" expression at this moment?

"Ning Hua, have you read this medical report? It says your current physical condition is very weak. It's estimated that you've suffered a great deal of trauma in recent days, and your Qi and blood are very weak. The doctor recommends that you take good care of yourself and avoid overexertion... What do you say? Have you suffered any trauma in the past few days?"

Ning Hua lowered her head, speechless. No one would believe that she was hurt by a tree.

Ning Hua lowered her head and tried hard to find a reasonable explanation, so as to avoid letting the commander misunderstand that she was weak and deficient in qi and blood because she had an abortion.

However, seeing Ning Hua lowering her head as if to say something, Lu Xiu saw it as a gesture of acquiescence. He curled his lips and said over Ning Hua's head, "Ning Hua, I now know that you have truly made up your mind to leave me... Do you want me to help you?"
