Liang Meijia's heart pounded hard in her chest as she was taken aback, her eyes flickering nervously towards Xia Tian.

The moment her gaze met his, she saw a sly smirk spread across his face, and a chill ran down her spine.

His cunning demeanor shocked her to the core. She realized that this man was much more dangerous than she had ever thought possible.

It wasn't just his powers, but also his words that were equally capable of eliciting chaos. She felt herself become weak at the knees as she tried to maintain her composure.

Xia Tian was like a predator toying with his prey. His eyes gleamed with a cunning light as he worked his way towards his goal.

He finally lit the fuse among them and the maids' voices grew louder and louder by time. Liang Mejia struggled to pacify them but it was like trying to calm down a flock of disturbed birds.

"How about I let all the servants and maids go if you move aside from your masters?" Xia Tian suggested, a devilish smile playing on his lips.

The air was charged with tension as the room went silent, all eyes fixed on Xia Tian. His words caused another chaos to erupt into the place.

"What?" 

"Really?" 

The earlier loyalty was nowhere to be seen, and Liang Meijia finally realized Xia Tian's motives and shouted, "Don't fall for it! It's a trick!"

But her words were like the wind, lost in the chaos around them.

Xia Tian's charisma had won over the servants and maids, and they instantly agreed with his proposal.

He grinned, as he signaled them to move to the side. "Anyone who is not directly associated with the Su family can move to the side!"

To appear genuine, he even asked one of the maids to identify all the people standing on the side of the Su family to confirm their genuineness.

Su Xia frowned at the sight of the maids backing off. "Idiots!" she muttered, looking skeptically at Xia Tian.

She couldn't believe that he was the kind of person who would spare anyone.

"He is at it again," a woman muttered in solitude while watching from above.

The battlefield beneath her was in a state of chaos, and the remaining women and guards were being viciously ravaged by Xia Tian's other bodies.

The woman watched on with an troubled face.

Suddenly, Nyx appeared by her side, startling her. "Why are you here?" she asked.

The woman, Irene, retorted with a hint of helplessness in her voice. "Why can't I be here?... I need to tell him about Isabelle. She had sent Eternal Seer behind his back," she explained.

Nyx narrowed her eyes in response, but didn't speak.

Instead, she nodded and Irene could see that her eyes blazed with a different, much fiercer kind of fire.

The little girl had her protective side activated for her father.

Their conversation came to an end soon enough as neither woman was talkative by nature.

Down below, the maids and servants had already separated themselves from the battle.

Xia Tian seemed satisfied with their separation as he yelled out, "Bird woman, do your thing!"

Shua!

Instantly, a huge wall of fire erupted and engulfed the area where the servants and maids were standing.

Su Xia muttered under her breath, feeling the sweat on her forehead caused by the intense heat of the flames.

When the fire died down, there was no sign of any person. The bones of the servants and maids had even been burnt to ash.

Xia Tian laughed maniacally, "You girl, are you coming here or not?" he spoke with a fierce glint in his eyes and pointed at Su Yuting.

The latter immediately shivered with fear. "I-I am," she stuttered. Her legs moved against her will, carrying her in front of him. Xia Tian caught her by her waist, making the blue-haired girl yelp before turning her around so that her back faced him.

He moved in close to her neck, and Su Yuting felt cold all over her body with dread.

Xu Ruiqi's expression turned from anger to despair as she watched her daughter, Su Yuting, fall into the clutches of Xia Tian.

The situation was dire, but after the show with the maids, Xu Ruiqi knew better than to say anything that could anger Xia Tian further.

She stood there helplessly, feeling utterly powerless.

As Xia Tian whispered something in Su Yuting's ear, the young girl's face lit up with hope. "R-really?" she stuttered, her wide eyes fixed on Xia Tian.

Xia Tian grinned slyly as he saw the delight on Su Yuting's face.

He stuck out his tongue and caught her chin, then slowly ran his tongue down her cheek, leaving Su Yuting frozen in place.

Liang Meijia and the others watched in horror as Xia Tian continued to toy with Su Yuting, their expressions turning from shock to disgust.

"But... Father?" Su Yuting's voice faltered as she tried to make sense of what was happening.

She looked up at Xia Tian with a mixture of confusion and fear.

Xia Tian simply nodded, his grin growing wider. "Don't worry, he should be coming soon," he said.

*Booom*

Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion that rocked the entire area, sending shockwaves through the air and leaving Xu Ruiqi and the others reeling in its wake.

------

Inside Su Yang's Room!

Su Wei's face contorted in pain as his belly continued to bloat like an overinflated balloon. "H-Help!" These were the last words he spoke before his belly became so engorged that it was impossible to see any more of him beneath its massive girth.

"What happened to Young Master?" Nei Li stammered, her heart racing with fear and concern.

Su Yang's face twisted into an expression of horror and disgust as he considered the hideous possibility. "Did I make my son pregnant?" The very thought made his skin crawl, but he couldn't ignore the ghastly reality unfolding in front of him.

As Su Wei's screams and groans grew louder and more intense, the air in the room grew thick with an all-consuming dread.

Both Nei Li and Su Yang were forced to close their eyes to block out the sheer terror of what they were witnessing.

Nei Li's stomach churned and writhed in her own belly as she watched Su Wei's belly writhe and twist in agony.

Each convulsion seemed to create a new bulge or ripple in the boy's swollen abdomen, making it more and more grotesque to look at.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of agony, there was a sharp, piercing scream from Su Wei's mouth, and his entire abdomen seemed to burst open like a horrifying biomechanical blossom.

Blood and viscera poured out of the opening, followed by a brown, wriggling substance that made both Nei Li and Su Yang recoil in horror.

"What the hell is this abdominal creature?" whispered Su Yang, his voice trembling with fear and revulsion.

He gestured for Nei Li to approach, his voice barely above a whisper, "M-Master?" Her whole body shook, a shudder of reluctance wistfully engulfing her.

Reluctantly, she advanced towards the alien creature, wriggling and slime-covered.

As Su Wei's life ebbed away, his breathing slowed, quickened, and then all at once - stopped.

Nei Li's shaky footsteps brought her closer and closer to the source of her unease: the slimy creature that writhed in front of her.

As if anticipating her presence, the mud-like mass transformed into a human form, but without any facial features.

"AHHHH!" Nei Li's voice came out in a disgusting, fear-stricken scream as the creature surged forward, jaws gaping wide.

A thick, massive tentacle sprung out of it, striking towards her skull and into her mouth.

"Ahhuuu," Nei Li gurgled, wincing as the tentacle jerked suddenly, churning the contents of her stomach.

Her eyes bulged, and before she had a chance to defend herself, her life faded and she collapsed into a cold, lifeless heap.

Su Yang's eyes shook vehemently with emotion as he watched his lover's lifeless form before him, "N-No, stay away from me..." He whispered, recoiling with a deepening sense of dread.

The creature cackled with an eerie voice, enjoying the havoc it was causing.

Su Yang was in a state of instant panic, watching the tentacle inching closer and closer to his position, his face blanching white with fear.

He was aware that his life was in grave jeopardy, and that he needed to find an instant solution.

The creature chortled malevolently with a sinister laugh, "Kekekeke," deepening the sense of horror that coated his soul.

With a deep breath and every ounce of his strength, Su Yang unleashed his strongest spell, aimed for the beast.

Whoosh!

*...Boooom!*

The atmosphere shook with an unfathomable power, the sound of the spell echoing throughout the entire area.

The destruction was severe, disintegrating the creature's body into countless pieces, mud-like flesh splattering across the room in a gruesome display.

Su Yang's room was engulfed in the explosion, shattering glass and breaking down walls. When the dust finally settled, he was able to glimpse his surroundings.

His expression turned ashen with horror and shock.

"Wh-what the hell is happening?!" He muttered, his voice barely a whisper.

"Husband?" A soft, yet anxious voice came from near him.

"Father?" A young girl's voice echoed in the distance.
