A great relationship

Shangguan Jian still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the punch Si Nanyi gave Hou Yanchen. That was the man who now held the God-killing Gun. If he was unhappy, they might really be finished.

Shangguan Jian said: "I wonder why you are so impatient."

Si Nanyi also regretted it and said, "I'm sorry, I have tried my best to endure it."

Seeing that Si Nanyi was also regretful, Shangguan Jian sighed: "You did nothing wrong, why are you apologizing? It was quite satisfying to see you punch him. This is more like you, Si Nanyi."

"Let's find a way to get out of this."

Seeing Si Nanyi looking tired, Shangguan Jian asked him with concern: "Xiaoyi, you are not feeling well! Are you pushing yourself too hard?"

Reluctantly! Not reluctantly! If it wasn't for going to the demon world, who the hell would tolerate that dead gay?

I cursed in my heart, but said something else out loud.

Si Nanyi said: "What ghosts are you talking about? Now you have a knife around you and I have a knife. You talk to me. And, which one do you think of it, isn't that guy cherishing me? Why did you sell me?"

Shangguan Jiandao: "You can insult my personality, but you can't doubt my judgment. The way that guy looks at you is definitely not wrong! He is obsessed with you!"

Si Nanyi asked back: "Why did it become like this?"

"This... I don't know, maybe you accidentally did something that displeased him."

"I'm the one being forced, so I should be the one who's unhappy!"

Shangguan Jian: "It seems to be the same reason..."

"What are you two whispering about? Go and empty the chamber pot for me."

Hearing the sound, Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian looked up, both with an expression as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, and they shrank their necks back in shock.

The flower arranger in Yihongyuan put on powder and rouge, and when she stuck out her tongue she looked like a hanged brothel owner, staring at the two of them viciously.

The old madam had a face full of flesh but a mean look. Seeing Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian stunned, she drove them away wearing the "servant uniforms" of Yihongyuan with disgust.

"Why are you still standing there!"

Shangguan Jian, who came back to his senses first, quickly pulled Si Nanyi up, picked up the chamber pot at the foot of the wall, nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes."

Behind the madam stood a middle-aged man, wearing a scarf on his head and holding a large wooden box in his hands. He had a scholarly demeanor and a neat short beard, but his face was gray and there seemed to be a layer of black fog covering his head. In the bright sunshine, he seemed to be standing under a dark wall, so Si Nanyi could not see his face clearly.

In stark contrast to her disgust towards Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian, the madam was very respectful to men.

The madam was leading the way, but no one knew where she was taking the man.

They were talking about something as they walked.

"There are two new idiots, big and strong. I didn't want to accept the money, but they forced it on me. If I don't accept it, it would seem like I don't know how to appreciate it."

The man agreed: "Oh, there are such cheap things in this world!"

The madam said: "What's so cheap about it? You didn't see the man who sold the woman. He looks so scary... I don't dare to offend him!"

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

Si Nanyi, who was dragged away by Shangguan Jian, turned back and hid at the wall, watching the madam and the middle-aged man carrying the wooden box walk towards them.

Si Nanyi said: "That man is a doctor."

Shangguan Jian also followed Si Nanyi's gaze and looked at the figure walking away.

"how do you know?"

"He smells like Chinese medicine."

"What's so strange about this? Even in a brothel, there are people who get sick. It's not normal to ask a doctor to see him."

"You are right, but even in a peaceful and prosperous era, most poor families can only afford to live, but not to get sick. This mean old woman is very stingy from her face. She actually hired a doctor for the girls of lowly birth in a brothel. It doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. And I think the doctor has a black forehead and an ominous face. I'm afraid there will be bloodshed."

Shangguan Jian looked down at the back of Si Nanyi's round head and said, "Xiaoyi, you are good. When did you learn to read faces?"

Si Nanyi glanced at Shangguan Jian and said, "Didn't Qingshan Sect teach people the art of physiognomy, divination and fortune-telling? You have learned nothing!"

Shangguan Jian was even more surprised and said: "No, aren't you the last in Qingshan Sect's history?"

"Just because I ranked last in the exam doesn't mean I can't do it."

Shangguan Jian immediately curled his lips and said: "So, I was the only one who was seriously paddling back then!"

Si Nanyi didn't have time to argue with him about old matters, so he followed them quietly and watched the madam and the doctor walk to a remote wing. After looking around to see if there was anyone around, they opened the complicated copper lock. The two entered the room and immediately closed the door in a hurry.

Si Nanyi wanted to peek at the situation from outside the window, but found that the window of this room was covered with paper from the inside. If he tried to poke it open, it might cause a noise and alert the enemy.

So, Si Nanyi quickly looked around and made a gesture to Shangguan Jian. Shangguan Jian understood and half-crouched down. Si Nanyi swooped down and stepped on his shoulder. He jumped up and climbed onto the roof, which was fortunately not very high. He then pulled Shangguan Jian onto the roof as well. He had often leaned against the wall in Qingshan Sect before. This time, with his magic power completely sealed, he was able to put his knowledge into practice!

By removing a piece of tile, Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian could get a general glimpse of what was inside.

Candles were lit in the lightless room, and the simple furnishings inside could be vaguely seen, but the most eye-catching thing was a carved bed behind a screen.

There was a person lying on the carved bed, but because it was covered by a curtain, one could not see inside. One could only vaguely tell from the reflection on the curtain that the person was lying down.

The madam and the middle-aged doctor were arguing.

The middle-aged doctor looked panicked and said, "This is... this is not a disease, this is evil spirits, I can't treat it, you should ask someone else for help!"

The doctor was about to leave with the box, but the madam quickly stopped him and begged him kindly: "Doctor Li...you can't leave. Prescribe some abortion pills for her."

"This is not about the abortion pill. I have been practicing medicine for many years and have never seen anything like this."

The madam yelled, "It has come to this! You should prescribe some abortion pills, something strong and powerful!"

Doctor Li said timidly: "This could cost lives!"

The brothel owner's face was full of impatience.

"She's already in a dying state. I've been raising her for two months, and she's been fed and watered for nothing. If she dies, I can't escape responsibility, and neither can you!"

The person lying on the bed suddenly screamed, as sharp as if to tear the curtains surrounding them.

"Ah!... It hurts! Help me! Help me!"

The madam lifted her skirt and strode forward, pulling open the curtain. Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian noticed that there was a bearded man lying on the bed.

The man's clothes were disheveled and his face was gray without a trace of blood. What was surprising was that his disheveled clothes could not even cover his huge belly, which was as big as a water tank. His thin skin was stretched open, and the purple muscles were clearly visible, like tree roots, entwined and spread all over his belly.

Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian couldn't help but feel their pupils shudder.

What made their eyes explode was that Si Nanyi saw that inside the man's bulging belly, there seemed to be a human face sticking to the thin belly and wriggling inside.

The man lying on the bed, touching his bulging belly, looking like he was about to give birth, was not greeted with comfort or help. Instead, the madam pinched the man's arm, which was already covered in bruises, and angrily shouted, "What are you screaming for, you bastard! Didn't I find a doctor for you?"

Doctor Li's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he asked with trembling lips: "Is the baby about to be born?"

The madam angrily said: "It's only been two months, how could she be giving birth?"

Then she felt something was wrong, and she shouted angrily: "He is a man, how can he have a child!!"

Doctor Li quickly took out a blue porcelain jar from the wooden box and said, "This is an abortion pill. Normally, take one pill a day with water. You can do whatever you want."

He stuffed a bottle of abortion pills into the madam's hand and hurriedly took the money. Doctor Li picked up his wooden box and wished he could have two more legs so he could quickly escape from this ominous place.

As for the situation inside the room, the madam took the bottle of abortion pills and forcibly pinched the man's mouth open, completely forgetting Doctor Li's instructions to take one pill a day, and poured all the pills into the man's mouth, then forcibly closed his mouth.

The abortion pill seemed to work quickly after the man took it. His pupils bulged on his pale face and his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.

The belly was bulging open, and the things inside were squirming around wildly. The man was in so much pain that he rolled around on the bed.

The madam had never seen such a scene before, and her face, which was covered with rouge and powder and covered with fat, turned pale with fright.

"You...wait...I'll go call someone..."

The madam twisted her fat body, turned around and ran towards the door, but before she could take the second step, the man lying on the bed stood up, and his pair of purple hands grabbed her neck from behind.

Si Nanyi, who was watching all this from the roof, was about to take action, but was immediately stopped by Shangguan Jian who was beside him and said, "You have forgotten the rules of heaven. Even we, as priests, cannot interfere with the life and death of mortals without reason!"

Helplessly, Si Nanyi shook off Shangguan Jian's hand and continued to observe the situation in the room.

Seeing the old procuress's neck being strangled, it seemed as if Si Nanyi's throat was also being strangled, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Si Nanyi remembered that he did not see any sign of death on the madam's face. On the contrary, he saw it on the face of Doctor Li who left first. This meant that the madam who was being strangled by the neck should be fine in the end.

He comforted his restless heart, it's okay!

Soon, the situation in the room changed. The man with a big belly, something that was violently jumping in his stomach suddenly calmed down, and the man with a look of pain on his face immediately loosened his hand that was pinching the procuress.

He fell straight back.

The frightened madam didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly crawled towards the door.

The man lying on the bed had his eyes white and his limbs stiff, and his towering belly began to twist violently, as if the contents inside could no longer be held and were about to burst out.

Si Nanyi immediately drew out the bayonet from his waist, ignoring Shangguan Jian's surprised look, stepped on the roof and rushed into the house.
