The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 127:

“Lies! Lies! Blasphemy!” Princess Nai Nai had gone crazy and her face contorted into an ugly mask. She was so emotional that veins popped out on her hands and forehead. She looked like she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She stubbornly refused to believe them, perhaps knowing that if she did, then everything would be over. josei

Feng Wu was inflexible in some ways. If someone didn’t believe her, she would do what she could in order to prove her words, otherwise she wouldn’t be happy. She’d never encountered this kind of stubbornness before and so wasn’t sure how to react. Her brows furrowed as she thought. At last she came upon a solution. “You don’t believe? If you see the child with your own eyes will be believe then?”

If Princess Nai Nai insisted the child was a child of god, then if she saw that the child wasn’t, then the truth should be clear.

Feng Wu’s idea was simple and she described it simply.

Princess Nai Nai stared blankly at her. She was only four months along. It was too early for her to go into labor. What was this talk about letting her see her child? Was this girl trying to do something to her baby? Nai Nai instinctively wrapped her arms around her belly in a protective gesture.

By the time she came out of her own thoughts and paid attention to her surroundings again, Feng Wu was already in front of her and holding her hand. A light passed between them and into her belly.

The princess felt something warm trickle down her legs. Looking down she saw her skirt soaking in blood.

“Ah! You- you- what have you done to my child?! Let go of me you wicked person!” Princess Nai Nai screeched and flailed like a wild woman. She reached up with her free hand to tear at Feng Wu.

Her nails were long and would have certainly done damage, but before her hand could land on Feng Wu, Wind and Pei Qing grabbed her.

“Wow! Such long nails. They’d definitely leave a scar. Xiao Wu’s face would have been disfigured,” Wind said as he stared at the lethal nails in shock.

Princess Nai Nai screamed even louder. Commander Liffman watched but didn’t interfere. The princess’s fall from power was a foregone conclusion. He thought about the loss of the brave brothers who followed under his command in serving her. Her role in their deaths left a conflicted feeling in his heart. He felt regret and a strong sense of helplessness.

As for Meiren and Xiao Na, they were in shock. They had helped the princess conceal her marriage and pregnancy from everyone. Something this big… the king would definitely execute them. Their lives were forfeit. They didn’t have the mind to care about the princess right then. They even hated her a little in their hearts. Why couldn’t she be content with just being a princess? Why create all this trouble?

The princess was both proud and insecure. She was insecure in front of her family, but in front of everyone else, she was haughty and prideful. Even if she was very close to her maids, she never showed her insecurity around them. She was generous, but also cruel.

There was a maid who once compared Princess Nai Nai’s abilities to the elder princess’s. It was just talk, but Princess Nai Nai had her executed. She put people to death even for minor offenses like gossip, regardless if it was truth, lies, or exaggerations. No one was exempt. Her personal maids knew just how cruel and merciless she could be.

Maybe it was because of this cruelty, but those who served her didn’t dare betray her. However loyalty born from fear wasn’t reliable. It was inevitable they would betray her if she ever lost power.

Princess Nai Nai screamed one more time before a white light flew out of her belly. There was no resentment in this tiny guy, probably because the magic and the demon that created the resentment were gone.

“Wah! Wah!” the tiny infant cried once he was freed from Nai Nai’s stomach. He waved his curled fist at her with an indignant expression, looking for all the world like he wanted to give her a beating.

Feng Wu rubbed the tiny guy’s hand and spoke in a conciliatory tone. “Don’t be angry. Be careful next time so you won’t be fooled again.”

The baby turned to look at Feng Wu. There was something really comforting about the girl that held his hand. The tiny guy fluttered down closer to Feng Wu and gave her a peck on the cheeks, as if to say thank you.

“What happened?!” Princess Nai Nai collapsed to the ground. Her stomach was flat and the only evidence of her pregnancy now was the stained skirt. She stared hard at the entity that flew out of her belly.

It didn’t bear a resemblance to a human child what with its light shrouded, transparent body. It looked hatefully at her. She was sure if the girl wasn’t holding its hand, it would have rushed at her with its fists.

“The baby was from your stomach, but it’s not your child. Like I said, humans and spirits can’t have babies together. This little guy was fooled by the magic in your stomach. It was trapped inside and couldn’t escape until we caught the demon. Now the baby spirit can be free.”

The two shared a moment together as Feng Wu touched the outline of his face. He didn’t have physical form so she couldn’t touch him directly. Originally the little guy wanted to get revenge on the bad woman that trapped him, but the girl holding his hand kept shaking her head at him. He was unwilling but since she was his savior, he yielded to her request.

He flew away after giving his farewell to Feng Wu.

“Xiao Chun!” Feng Wu called out. She stopped paying attention to the princess after the baby spirit left. The princess’s disbelief didn’t matter anymore. Feng Wu had tried her best, and laid out all the facts in front of her, yet she still chose not to believe. Master told her there were people like that. The facts didn’t matter, they believed what they wanted to believe. These kinds of people made no sense; it would be a waste of time to try to convince them.

So after ignoring Princess Nai Nai, Feng Wu had Xiao Chun fly around the town and purify any lingering grievances or grudges. If they weren’t cleared up the people who died wouldn’t be able to reincarnate.

The princess broke down. She clutched her head with both hands, muttering to herself. “No! How is that even possible!? It’s not possible.”

“Poor thing. She ended up like this because she was deceived by the demon.” Zi Cheng quickly offered her pity.
