This sentence was a little incomprehensible to Cheng Xi, and no one understood what it meant to forcefully create a child.
Song Yun looked at everyone’s puzzled expressions and sighed. “The nurturing of life is a very sacred thing. No orthodox spell can control it. However, a hundred years ago, sorcerers experienced a dark era. During this period, many spells that violated the laws of nature were born. The potion you drank back then should be it.”
“That potion can ensure that you’re pregnant. Even if your body doesn’t
successfully conceive, the potion will use your flesh and blood to forcefully create a child. Lily’s birth was caused by this potion.”
Everyone present was stunned. They did not expect that there would be such a spell that could use human flesh to create a life.
Cheng Xi said in disbelief, “But Lily’s hair and eyes are very similar to Devon’s. How can she not be his child?”
“It’s because he put his own blood in the potion that Lily looks like him. But this is just a spell to change her appearance. Lily’s blood relationship with him is very shallow. It’s just the user of the potion and the product of the potion. I don’t think he has any love for Lily.”
Cheng Xi recalled her past life. Devon did not dote on Lily. It was as if Lily was not his child.
Cheng Xi asked, “Then how should we save Lily?”
Song Yun chanted a purification spell, and Lily quickly calmed down. The black aura on her body also disappeared without a trace. Cheng Xi quickly hugged her and said to Song Yun, “Thank you, Master, for saving my daughter.”
Song Yun’s expression was very serious. “Lily is not safe yet. This kind of thing will become more and more frequent in the future.”
Cheng Xi said anxiously, “Master, even if Lily was forcefully created, such a thing has never happened before. Why?”
“Under the laws of nature, the birth of a child requires the fusion of both parents. Lily is just a life forcefully condensed under the effect of the potion. Her soul is incomplete and can’t completely fuse with her body. Previously, Devon used the potion to stabilize her. Now, her body can’t withstand this pulling.
Cheng Xi’s face was filled with disgust when she heard Devon’s name, but she still said, “If I ask Devon to take out the potion, will Lily be able to return to normal?”
She immediately closed her eyes. She’d thought she’d fled Devon’s side, but he’d done something like this. In the end, Lily would bear the consequences.
If it was for the sake of the child, she was willing to give up her freedom as long as Lily could grow up healthy.
Song Yun denied her idea. “That won’t work at all. Lily is already five years old. The potion won’t save her for long. As she grows older, she will need more and more potions. Moreover, the more potions she drinks, the more silly Lily will become. In the end, her body won’t be able to withstand the pulling and will completely collapse.”
“Then what should I do?” Cheng Xi sat on the ground in despair. “Am I going to watch Lily die?”
Gu Teng quickly went over to comfort her. Yunbao pulled Song Yun’s sleeve and said, “Master, is there no other way?
Song Yun also wanted to save Lily, but she really did not have a better solution now. Lily was born on the basis of potions. From the moment she was born, she was destined to collapse. No matter how capable she was, she could not repair her soul.
Song Yun’s silence already let people know her answer. Cheng Xi could not accept this answer. She hugged Lily and cried until her voice was hoarse.
Gu Lin turned to look at Gu Peng and said, “We can’t let her cry like this anymore. Do you still have any sedatives?
Gu Peng nodded and said, “I’ll go upstairs to get it.”
The moment he turned around, Cheng Xi stopped crying. She looked at Song Yun firmly and said, “Master, since Lily is formed from my flesh and blood, I’ll use my flesh and soul to repair it. Will Lily be able to grow up healthy?”
This was indeed a feasible method, but Song Yun did not dare to nod in agreement. If they used this method, it would be a life for a life. They would need Cheng Xi’s life to repair Lily and use Cheng Xi’s flesh and soul to extend Lily’s lifespan.
Watching Lily die or watching Cheng Xi die was no different in Song Yun’s opinion. Both choices were to send a living life to death..
