Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Bai Susu was at a loss for words after hearing Feng Qiwu’s words.

"A mural? Isn’t that something people paint? You actually believe that?" Bai Susu found it hard to believe.

Seeing her expression of shock, as if such a thing shouldn’t happen to her, Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile.

"I don’t want to believe it either," Feng Qiwu said, his mood heavy.

"But after you see those murals, you’ll understand. The murals vividly and thoroughly depict the events that occurred when I was born..."

Seeing Feng Qiwu’s painful expression, Bai Susu hurriedly reached out to hold him, "If it’s a painful memory for you, then don’t speak of it."

At worst, she would go to the secret chamber in the harem herself to see what was going on.

However, Feng Qiwu shook his head and insisted, "On the mural, I am a fierce demon, a cruel demon born by breaking open my mother’s belly, and she... held a dagger at that time, intending to kill me."

"But she failed. Instead, she was drained of blood by me and died miserably... Tell me, aren’t I a bad omen?"

He didn’t want to believe he was a child not welcomed into the world.

Much less did he want to believe the scenes depicted on the mural.

But that was the truth.

And indeed, after his birth, he was different from other children.

His constitution was better than theirs, his mind far more intelligent, and even his martial prowess was unmatched by others. He was often whispered about in private, being so powerful he seemed inhuman.

All of this confirmed the reality of him being the son of an Evil Ghost as depicted on the mural.

Thus, every time he encountered dark and bloody environments, he would recall the scenes within that secret chamber, falling deep into inescapable inner demons.

Upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s words, Bai Susu was taken aback.

"Wait, did you just say you came out of your mom... no, you were born from your mother’s belly?" Bai Susu immediately asked.

Isn’t that a Caesarean section?

Seeing her intense gaze and excited tone, Feng Qiwu nodded in confusion, "That’s right."

"And you thought your mother holding a dagger... was to kill you?" Bai Susu pressed on.

Feng Qiwu pursed his lips and nodded.

If not to kill him, then for what?

Seeing this, Bai Susu’s face instantly darkened.

Then she looked at Feng Qiwu and couldn’t help but curse, "Shu Kuang, who the hell told you she was trying to kill you with that act? She was clearly trying to save you!"

This matter surely had something to do with that deceitful Emperor Feng Qingyang!

Demonizing the fact that Shu Kuang’s mother had cut open her belly to let him be born safely for the sake of saving him was truly despicable and shameless.

When Feng Qiwu heard Bai Susu’s words, he was bewildered.

"What did you say?" Feng Qiwu couldn’t help but grab Bai Susu’s arm.

Looking into his slightly widened eyes, Bai Susu asserted, "I said, your mother holding the dagger wasn’t to kill you, but to save you! It was deliberately misinterpreted by someone to make you hate her!"

"How do you know?" Feng Qiwu’s voice tightened.

"Of course, I know!" Bai Susu said earnestly.

Then she explained, "You should know childbirth is like passing through the gates of hell, right? And not all babies can be delivered smoothly."

"Babies who cannot be delivered smoothly through the birth canal, if not delivered in time, will suffocate due to lack of oxygen even if they luckily survive most likely will become a fool."

"But if the mother’s belly is cut timely and the baby is taken out, it can save both the mother and child’s lives."

"Your mother... she must have chosen to break open her belly to save you, to ensure you were born safely," Bai Susu affirmed.

But for ancient people, such operations were terrifying and unacceptable.

For them, a child born by Caesarean section was probably no different from a demon’s child.

And Shu Kuang, who emerged from his mother’s belly, naturally would be seen as an ominous child.

Upon hearing Bai Susu’s words, Feng Qiwu felt that his long-held beliefs were shattered by this beautiful revelation.

If what Susu said was true...

Then over the years, hadn’t he hated the wrong person all along?

But now, he was willing to admit that he had always harbored animosity towards the wrong person all these years.

"Susu... are you really sure?" Feng Qiwu looked at Bai Susu hopefully.

Susu’s words gave him a sense of surrealism akin to a dream.

He might not be an ominous child, but rather a child born because his mother desperately protected him!

Bai Susu saw that he was somewhat distracted and hugged him tightly, giving him strength. "I’m one hundred percent sure! Didn’t you just say you drank her blood?"

"Yes, I drank her blood! What normal child drinks their mother’s blood?" Feng Qiwu wavered again. Content originally comes from NoveIＦire.net

Hearing this, Bai Susu looked at him tenderly and compassionately, "That should have been because she feared you wouldn’t have milk after birth and would starve, so she willingly gave you her blood to drink."

This has even happened in modern times.

For maternal love is inherently so great and selfless.

Fearing that Feng Qiwu wouldn’t believe her, Bai Susu added, "If you don’t believe it, you can find those women in difficult labor. If they agree, I can perform Caesarean sections on them, and then you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not."

Her answer was met with tears rolling down his neck.

"No need. I believe you," Feng Qiwu held Bai Susu tightly, enclosing her in his arms.

He could see that Susu was so used to the idea of cutting open a woman’s belly to deliver a child.

Which means, in her eyes, emerging from his mother’s belly wasn’t shocking at all, but just a minor event.

When Bai Susu saw Feng Qiwu tear up, she was so shocked she didn’t dare move.

In her heart, she cursed Feng Qingyang vividly.

After all, that was his own son, yet the wretched emperor was utterly inhuman!

After a while, Feng Qiwu’s emotions finally calmed down.

Then, he calmly said, "I misunderstood her all this time. If it weren’t for you telling me these things, I might still be hating her for giving birth to me."

Hearing this, Bai Susu couldn’t help but feel a heaviness in her heart.

It seemed that Feng Qiwu’s psychological issues were not insignificant.

But fortunately, the misunderstanding was now resolved.

So, she lightly patted Feng Qiwu’s back, saying, "If she didn’t want to give birth to you, she could have easily taken abortion drugs to deal with it, right? Moreover, with the fierce competition in the harem, I don’t believe no one had thought of targeting the child in her belly. If she really didn’t want you, there are plenty of ways to ensure you never saw the light of day."
