Chapter 1746: Chapter 806: Genius Monster

Hearing Plum Garden, Lan Chuchu instantly lost all sleepiness.

She even disregarded her postpartum unrecovered body and started to struggle.

"What did you say, what’s wrong with Plum Garden?"

"Haunted, it’s haunted."

The maid stuttered and couldn’t speak clearly. It took a while before she finally explained the whole situation.

Plum Garden had been sealed by Lan Chuchu for a long time, except for a few gardeners and the occasional maid collecting plum branches, few people passed by.

Who knew that the night before, a maid and a guard dared to secretly meet in Plum Garden.

Halfway through, the guard screamed miserably and was snatched away by a black shadow.

The maid was so scared that she fainted. When she woke up at dawn, she only found the guard’s clothes and boots, with a few puddles of blood on the ground.

Frightened and incoherent, she hurried to find the Divine Consort.

"Where is that maid, bring her here."

Lan Chuchu calmed her expression and ordered someone to bring that woman in.

After the maid came in, she never went out again.

Lan Chuchu, postpartum, her body still weak, dragged the maid’s corpse toward a secret passage.

The secret passage was dug secretly by her order after giving birth to that creature.

The strange happenings in Plum Garden were no mystery to her.

Since that creature was born, Plum Garden had become a nightmare buried in Lan Chuchu’s heart. She never wanted to touch it, but had to.

She imprisoned the creature in the dry well of Plum Garden.

Having trust in no one, she personally delivered some food there irregularly.

The creature disliked cooked food, preferring raw meat, especially living humans.

Previously, Lan Chuchu would entice a maid or guard every few days, but recently, her tired body and worries made her forget to deliver food.

Apparently, the creature couldn’t hold back and went out to harm people on its own.

Lan Chuchu exerted considerable effort to drag the maid to Plum Garden.

The murder in Plum Garden last night left the maid unable to spread the news widely, so she told only Lan Chuchu, but she lost her life to Lan Chuchu.

The Northern Territory has no four seasons, only cold winter.

Plum blossoms in Plum Garden bloom year-round; the murder happened ahead, red plums fell all over the ground, mixed with blood, horrifying.

Lan Chuchu covered the blood with snow, her hands and feet already frozen, she reached the ancient well.

She had originally placed a Prohibition on top of the ancient well, but now it was gone.

Upon opening the ancient well, a chilling wind blew out, carrying a bloody scent.

Lan Chuchu suppressed the urge to vomit, grinding her teeth.

"Creature, how dare you defy my orders."

A shadow shot up from the well’s bottom.

The creature Lan Chuchu bore indeed had the divine blood of Xi Jiuye, despite being ugly, it grew rapidly.

Born as big as a calf, it could tear apart a Martial Artist’s body with its bare hands.

In recent months, with Lan Chuchu feeding it living flesh, it bloated and grew swiftly, now standing like a moving hill before Lan Chuchu.

Its scales resembled snake skin, turtle shell-like, dark green skin tinged with filthy moss, embedded with pea-like eyes.

At its mouth and hands, remnants of skin and meat remained.

The scene was as ghostly as ever.

Seeing the creature’s appearance, Lan Chuchu couldn’t help but exclaim, her body went limp, fainting.

"Mother——"

Despite Lan Chuchu’s harsh treatment, blood bonds ran deeper; the creature was very respectful toward her.

Clumsily, it protected Lan Chuchu in front, waiting for quite a while before she slowly came to.

"Get away, you man-eating monster!"

Lan Chuchu regretted not smothering the creature at birth.

Both she and Brother Jiu Ye were Heavenly Person’s Appearance, how could they give birth to such a creature.

Lan Chuchu recalled Ye Lingyue’s curse upon Xi Jiuye and herself before she died, shivered.

Could this be retribution!

No, even if it’s retribution, ultimately, she who won Brother Jiu Ye’s heart was Lan Chuchu.

"Woo woo——Mother——Don’t——"

The creature, slapped by Lan Chuchu, felt neither pain nor sadness but overwhelmed.

Despite being big, he was still a child, his longing for motherly love, stronger than others, isolated in the ancient well for months; his loneliness was unspeakable.

He whimpered softly, wanting to hug Lan Chuchu, but her disdainful gaze wounded him.

Ugly but smart, he realized his difference from those in the palace.

Perhaps, mother disliked him for that.

"Mother, don’t hate——like——Mother"

The creature babbled, learning some human language by eavesdropping, having no one else to converse with.

"Did you kill the guard last night?"

Lan Chuchu saw the creature’s obedience, considering his ability to easily kill the Divine Palace guard, was somewhat astonished.

The creature nodded, then quickly shook his head, pointing to his stomach in grievance.

"Hungry——Hungry"

"I brought you food, not long dead, cleaned up."

Lan Chuchu gestured to the maid’s corpse.

The creature was delighted, aware his cannibalism was terrifying, he dragged the maid into the ancient well, took a quarter hour to fill his stomach.

The ancient well was dozens of feet high, yet the creature flew up effortlessly.

Lan Chuchu watched secretly, observing the creature’s skill.

Having been imprisoned since birth, never learned Martial Arts, how was he so skilled?

"Who taught you martial arts?"

"Look———Look—"

With a large appetite, Lan Chuchu’s delivered food was insufficient.

He broke the Prohibition, stole food, or secretly killed some Spiritual Beasts from the palace.

An occasional glimpse allowed him to see Divine Generals practicing Martial Arts, learning some moves.

"Just one look, and you learned? Could it be though monstrous, this creature is exceptionally talented?"

Lan Chuchu listening, unsure whether to be glad or sad.

Such talent, if normal, would succeed Brother Jiu Ye’s legacy.

Pity, he’s a man-eating creature.

But upon thinking, a wicked plan surged in Lan Chuchu’s mind.

"Mother neglects you, do you hate me?"

The creature seemingly understood ’hate’, hurriedly shook his head.

"Don’t hate——like"

"Then whatever mother says, you’ll listen to?"

The creature nodded quickly.

If only mother would accompany him more, he’d do anything for her.

"Good, mother has a problem, a woman wants to harm mother, listen to mother, just do as such and such..."

Lan Chuchu held back her disgust, whispering in the creature’s ear.

The creature listened, seemingly half-understood, resolved to do as mother said to make her happy, without hesitation.
