Chapter 329: After Disguising Herself as a Man, the Rabbit Spirit Ran Away with a Baby in Her Womb 39
Su Zhiruan was certain; this was the Child of the Planes!
But she didn't know whether Changqi had discovered her presence here.
For a moment, she didn't dare to move rashly, maintaining her previous posture, staying still in the cave.
About an hour later, Changqi ascended Sishi Mountain once again.
Once Su Zhiruan had calmed down, she also had a speculation—if she wasn't mistaken, it was probably the effect of an item from the System Mall.
Her scent ended here, but she had also left confusing demon qi in other mountain ranges.
If someone wanted to find her, it wouldn't be easy.
With this thought, she felt much more at ease.
Rabbits must not be frightened during pregnancy; even the slightest rustling could startle them.
Su Zhiruan had put some effort into finding this place, and it was quite good to be able to give birth in this small space, just big enough for a rabbit.

Recently, whether it was the Divine World, the Demon World, or the Demon Realm, rumors had gone wild, saying that Changqi Upper God, the foremost among the five great gods, was frantically searching for someone in the Three Realms.
And now, Changqi Upper God was wandering in the Human World.
Having searched everywhere for Su Zhiruan to no avail, he felt that she might be in the Human World, especially in the city where they had descended together last time to fight the Demon World. So, at this moment, Changqi walked in the rain, holding an umbrella with one hand.
The Abandoned City had developed quite well by now, with the Emperor's support, favorable policies, and the hardworking and kind nature of its people. Plenty of merchants also came here to do business.
A day in the heavens, a year on earth.
Although as far as Changqi was concerned, he and Su Zhiruan had just left, walking on the streets of the Abandoned City once more always made him feel as if it were a lifetime ago.
The oil-paper umbrella made loud thuds in the drizzling rain, with large raindrops rolling on the surface like stray pearls before cascading down and hitting the ground.
The sky was overcast, the air tinged with the smell of earth and grass. When it lingered at the tip of one's nose, it was intoxicating.
In such weather, even small vendors had closed their stalls, and the few passersby, wrapped in raincoats, would hurry under the eaves, eager to get home quickly.
Changqi looked at all this aimlessly, feeling somewhat alienated.
Just then—
A surprised call came from behind him, "God!!"
At first, Changqi didn't turn around.
But when the somewhat elderly voice behind him rang out again, followed by footsteps, "God, please wait!!"
Then, Changqi confirmed someone was calling him, so he slowly turned around and saw an elderly woman, her face full of wrinkles, looking at him with hope and anticipation.
"Do you recognize me?" Changqi looked down at her, not too surprised.
The old woman respectfully bowed, "My lord, on that day, you and your madam saved us in Abandoned City. We shall always keep it in our hearts and dare not forget it easily!"
When Changqi heard the word "your madam," he paused for a moment.
Then, the old woman's face showed anticipation again, "It has been a long time since I saw her, may I ask if the madam has given birth? How is the child?"
"He can't be pregnant; how could he give birth to a child?" As far as Changqi was concerned, Su Zhiruan was a man, a man with a wife and children in the Rabbit Clan; how could he possibly give birth to a child!
Seeing his expression did not seem feigned, the old woman was also shocked, "God, when I saw your madam last time, she was close to showing, and it's been several years since. Do you not know about your madam's joyous news?"
"What?!"
This time, it was Changqi's turn to be shocked.
He stood still on the spot.
"He... is with child?!"
The old woman gave him a strange look, "Pregnancy is a joyous occasion for a woman; why do you seem so astonished!"
—Woman!
Changqi's umbrella crashed to the ground in the rain.
He was completely stunned.
