After Transmigrating into a Book, I Was Entangled by a Crazy and Beautiful Villain - Chapter 55

In an instant, Song Linlin’s face was covered in black lines, and the hand holding the bowl stiffened immediately. She just stared blankly at Zhang San, still a little uncertain if she had misheard. What did Zhang San just say?

Treating infertility…

Easier to conceive…

What in the world was all this about?!

Song Linlin felt she was a functionally normal woman in all respects. What was this talk about treating infertility? It was too ridiculous!

And that subsequent effect—easier to conceive—made Song Linlin feel dizzy just hearing it. She had absolutely no desire for childbearing, and besides, even if she took a step back, where would she find someone to have a child with? Wasn’t Zhang San worrying for nothing…

Song Linlin’s face felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly. Putting down the white porcelain bowl, she felt a headache looking at Zhang San’s serious expression. She simply couldn’t figure out what Zhang San was thinking. Song Linlin had been busy all morning, and in the end, without knowing the effect of the medicinal food, she had been coaxed by Zhang San into drinking it all up.

No wonder when she asked Zhang San to drink the remaining bowl earlier, Zhang San refused! So this stuff had that kind of effect!

“Zhang San, what are you doing?!” Song Linlin questioned.

She had already drunk both bowls of medicinal soup, and now she couldn’t vomit it out. The soup began to take effect as soon as it hit her stomach. Song Linlin felt warm all over, with a current of heat flowing inside her body. The heat sensation was most obvious in her stomach and lower abdomen—it was impossible to ignore.

Zhang San looked at Song Linlin’s unhappy expression and was a little confused by her accusation. She hadn’t figured out how she had offended the other person. Zhang San scratched her head, looking puzzled and clueless, and asked, “Huh? What did I do?”

Zhang San had started preparing this medicinal food for Song Linlin right after returning to the Xuan Yun Sect last night. The recipe was a unique family secret, supposedly highly effective, and everyone who used it praised it highly.

She had worked so hard to prepare it for Song Linlin, and the ingredients used were all precious medicinal herbs. This one serving of medicinal food was quite valuable.

Yet now Song Linlin was questioning her.

Song Linlin looked at Zhang San. Zhang San had a look of innocent bewilderment, her pair of bright, clear eyes full of pure ignorance. She clearly had no idea what Song Linlin was accusing her of.

Seeing her like this, the words Song Linlin was about to say got stuck in her throat, and she swallowed them back down. Getting angry at Zhang San was like talking to a brick wall.

Now Song Linlin just felt a massive headache.

After two or three seconds of silence, Song Linlin finally sighed, her tone a mix of helplessness and more profound speechlessness. She asked with great curiosity, “Since you understand the effects of this thing… I really want to know, why did you make this medicinal food for me to take?”

Song Linlin couldn’t recall expressing any desire to have a child in front of Zhang San. It couldn’t be that Zhang San, out of sheer boredom, decided to stew this stuff for her, could it?

“Uh…”

Hearing this question, Zhang San felt a little embarrassed. She didn’t answer immediately, instead, she seemed to recall something awkward. She sat there brewing for a while before speaking softly, “Didn’t you and Lin Qianqian try to have a baby?”

“???”

Song Linlin was even more bewildered, listening in complete confusion. She looked at Zhang San with a strange expression. At this moment, Song Linlin’s silence was deafening.

The two stared at each other in the kitchen. Song Linlin imagined that scene and felt it was too unreal. She retorted, “How come I don’t know anything about this?”

“Yes, you did!”

Seeing the other person reluctant to admit it, Zhang San immediately said, “I saw it! That night, in the tent, you and Lin Qianqian…”

The scene from that night was too stimulating. Zhang San felt she would probably find it hard to forget for the rest of her life. She woke up to find the two people sleeping beside her had already rolled onto each other, practically kissing.

In her fifteen years of life, she had only witnessed scenes similar to that twice.

Hearing the other person mention that incident, Song Linlin also recalled the situation at the time. Although she had indeed done something unspeakable with Chi Qianning late that night, how could it be related to having a child?

Song Linlin was now feeling a bit embarrassed, but of course, she couldn’t admit to something she hadn’t done. Suppressing her awkwardness, she sternly said, “Who told you that nonsense? That person was talking absolute rubbish!”

“Ah?”

Seeing Song Linlin’s insistence, Zhang San was now also a little unsure. After recalling the events of that year, she muttered softly, “I heard it from Senior Sister Yu Dai. I saw Elder Ao Wan kissing a man late at night, and Senior Sister Yu Dai said the Elder probably wanted a child. Later, that Elder did indeed become pregnant.”

“Uh… is that wrong? If you weren’t trying to have a baby, what were you doing then?”

Song Linlin was choked by this question. It was really hard for her to answer. Her old face couldn’t help but blush. She could only put on a stern face and say, “Children should act like children! Those are adult matters!”

“And…” Song Linlin added a crucial piece of knowledge for the other person, “Two women together cannot give birth to a child!”

“What? Is that really true?!” Zhang San was startled. But she had just cooked a pot of medicinal food for Song Linlin, using so many ingredients. “Didn’t I just waste all my effort?”

Song Linlin sighed helplessly. She was also forced to undergo an infertility treatment. “It’s good that you know…”

“Wait a minute.”

Song Linlin suddenly realized a problem. Since Zhang San had misunderstood her and Chi Qianning’s actions back then, logically, both of them were women and both could get pregnant. Why did Zhang San only let her drink this stuff?

Could it be that she looked so much like the one on the bottom? Yet, in that situation, Song Linlin was clearly on top!

Song Linlin felt she was being looked down upon. She said, slightly exasperated, “Zhang San, why didn’t you ask Lin Qianqian to drink this? She’s a woman, too, and she’s not unable to get pregnant.”

“Well… about that…”

Ever since she realized she had misunderstood Song Linlin and Lin Qianqian, Zhang San felt awkward. However, she was being stared at directly by Song Linlin, and it seemed she couldn’t avoid answering.

After gathering her thoughts for a while, Zhang San spoke softly, “Who told you to always be clinging to her for no reason? And…”

Stopping there, Zhang San mused, “And I really can’t imagine Lin Qianqian being pregnant.”

Song Linlin imagined that picture, and it did feel a little out of place, but why did that statement sound so unpleasant? Did she look like someone who could easily get pregnant?

She decided not to continue chatting with Zhang San about such pointless topics. The soup she drank was still continuously exerting its medicinal effects. Song Linlin felt her blood surge and become much more robust. This feeling of being warm all over persisted, making Song Linlin start to worry.

“Is this medicinal food okay to drink? I feel like my blood is surging uncontrollably now,” Song Linlin said.

It was Zhang San’s first attempt at making medicinal food, and she had supposedly followed the recipe strictly and calculated the ingredients precisely. There shouldn’t be any issues.

However, hearing Song Linlin say this now, she suddenly became a little uncertain. She asked weakly, “It should be okay, right…”

“What do you mean, ‘should be okay’?” Song Linlin was also starting to panic. She had drunk all that soup by herself. What if something went wrong?

“Don’t panic!” Zhang San felt her soup definitely wasn’t a big problem. After all, she had calculated so carefully. Moreover, if there really was a problem, it probably wouldn’t wait until now to manifest.

Zhang San reached out, placing her fingers on Song Linlin’s wrist, feeling her pulse. She carefully sensed the beat of her pulse and said, “I know a bit about medicine. Don’t move, I’ll take a look for you.”

“Is there any problem?” Song Linlin didn’t dare move and asked cautiously after a moment.

“No major problem.”

Zhang San shook her head. She also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Zhang San made the medicinal food; Song Linlin was merely there to help out. If anything, truly went wrong, it would definitely be Zhang San’s responsibility.

She said, “That medicinal food is certainly fine. It’s just that your own cultivation level is low, and your body can’t completely absorb the nutrients contained within all at once.”

“Simply put, you’ve been over-nourished. It will slowly get better in a couple of days.”

Song Linlin felt relieved. This outcome was acceptable; it wasn’t too serious. Although the main purpose of this stuff was to treat infertility and enhance conception ability, it also somewhat strengthened Song Linlin’s physique. If she ignored its primary function, drinking two bowls of the soup didn’t seem like a loss.

After all, the cost of that medicinal food was so high, and it tasted good. Just treat it as having drunk a very potent tonic soup.

It was now noon. Song Linlin had stayed at Zhang San’s place all morning. Now that the matter was settled, it was time for her to go back.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now,” Song Linlin said.

The misunderstanding this morning was more than enough. Song Linlin now just wanted to go back to her residence and lie down for a good sleep.

Zhang San nodded. After such an embarrassing incident, she also felt awkward facing Song Linlin and naturally wouldn’t stop her. “Okay.”

Song Linlin walked out of the bounds of Zi Ting Residence. According to her usual habit, she should head directly to the mess hall for lunch. However, Song Linlin had drunk two bowls of soup at Zhang San’s, and the excessive nutrition in her body made her genuinely lack any appetite now.

That warmth was still in her body, and it was continuous. Her blood and energy were steadily increasing. Song Linlin felt she had become a “full-of-vitality” person, and her head was starting to feel a bit dizzy.

After finally making it back to her residence, Song Linlin pushed open the bedroom door and went straight toward the bed, collapsing onto it on her back.

Chi Qianning, who was sitting by the bed, saw Song Linlin finally return after disappearing all morning and asked, “Why are you only just coming back?”

“I went to Zhang San’s place,” Song Linlin explained, lying on the bed.

Song Linlin felt her body was not well. She hadn’t noticed it at Zhang San’s, but as the medicinal power continued to dissipate without being absorbed, Song Linlin was now burning hot all over, especially in her stomach and lower abdomen, where the heat was most apparent.

Then, she inexplicably felt a chill near her nose. Song Linlin instinctively reached out to touch it, lifted her fingers, and saw a smear of bright red.

“Sh*t!”

This startled Song Linlin, who was lazily lying on the bed, and she immediately sat up. She reached for her nose again in disbelief, and again, she felt a hand full of blood.

Chi Qianning also noticed the movement next to her. She turned to look at Song Linlin and paused slightly. Song Linlin was sitting dumbfounded on the bed, blood continuously flowing from her nose. The blood was smeared by her fingers, staining Song Linlin’s face with a patch of crimson.

“You… why are you bleeding from your nose?” Chi Qianning asked in surprise.

Song Linlin couldn’t bother to hold her nose anymore. The soup was too nourishing; the blood and energy in her body were surging but could not be digested, and eventually, it flowed out.

“It’s all that Zhang San’s fault!” Song Linlin was already regretting why she had to be bored and go find Zhang San that morning.

Chi Qianning, however, could vaguely sense that there was something wrong with Song Linlin’s body. She reached out, placing her cool fingers on Song Linlin’s hot skin. With her fingers on the wrist, she could feel the unusually fast beating of her pulse. A trace of her power entered Song Linlin’s body to investigate her condition.

As her power moved throughout the body, Chi Qianning naturally sensed the powerful surge of blood and energy filling Song Linlin’s body. She couldn’t help but wrinkle her beautiful eyebrows and ask, “What on earth did you eat randomly?”

Then she raised her hand and placed her fingers on Song Linlin’s lower abdomen. “The blood and energy are thickest here.”

Chi Qianning pressed Song Linlin’s lower abdomen, always feeling that something was still a bit off. She thought about which human organ this area corresponded to and combined it with the feeling of this subtle change.

The next moment, Chi Qianning’s usually calm and composed expression immediately turned to shock. Her eyes widened, and her voice carried disbelief, “Song Linlin, are you pregnant?”

Chi Qianning subconsciously thought about how this child came to be, and then belatedly realized that it was impossible for her to make Song Linlin pregnant.

Song Linlin couldn’t even worry about holding her nose anymore. Her blood-stained hand immediately waved and she loudly denied, “How is that possible! No!!!
