King Hajif and others were asked to stand outside the glass operating room, where they would watch the entire surgical process.
The king still couldn't believe that his queen was carrying a ghost fetus, and he wanted to witness it firsthand.
Before starting the treatment, Ling Tian took out a Vajra Talisman and gave it to the king to wear.
As for the others around the king, they did not receive this treatment.
King Hajif looked at the exquisitely crafted talisman in his hand, and he could feel the immense energy contained within it.
Ling Tian, accompanied by Ali and Amamiya Yui, entered the operating room. The door closed, and Ling Tian took out a bottle containing a deep green liquid.
"Your Highness, this is a nutrient solution. Drinking this will greatly improve your physique."
The queen nodded upon hearing this, took the bottle, and drank it all. This poor woman had no idea what she was about to experience, nor did she know that the child she carried was a ghost fetus.
Ling Tian had already requested that this matter be kept secret from the queen, because if she knew she was carrying a ghost fetus, she might scare herself to death.
Furthermore, although the queen was carrying a ghost fetus, there was still a mother-child connection. If the queen knew that someone intended to harm the child in her womb, the ghost fetus would surely become defensive, and might even drag the queen to their deaths.
After drinking the liquid, the queen immediately fell into a deep sleep. The bottle did indeed contain many nutrients, specially formulated by Ling Tian, who had even added some sugar to improve the taste.
He had been observing the queen and the fetus in her womb through his Heavenly Eye divine ability.
After a while, the queen was sleeping very soundly, and Ling Tian noticed that the fetus in her womb was also asleep. Only then did he confidently begin to affix talismans around the glass room.
"Ali, get ready. We'll start in 10 minutes!"
Amamiya Yui was taken aback.
"Ling Tian, didn't you say we needed to set up a formation first to restrain the ghost fetus in the queen's womb?"
"No need. I have a better option. Right now, that thing has lost consciousness!" Ling Tian bared his teeth and gave a knowing smile.
"How did you do it? What did you give that thing to drink?"
"Soul-soothing grass, a very special medicinal herb. This herb directly affects the soul, whether it's a human, a spirit, a demon, or a ghost. Anyone who drinks it won't be able to wake up for three to five hours! The bottle I gave the queen earlier contained a large amount of soul-soothing grass juice."
As they spoke, everything was ready. Ali picked up a scalpel and approached the queen.
The queen's abdomen was covered with a surgical drape. Ali lifted it and made an incision.
This thousand-year-old cat demon was also very interested in medicine, but Ali didn't like traditional Chinese medicine, finding it rather dry and boring. She preferred Western surgical procedures.
As a result, countless small animals had met their demise, becoming Ali's practice tools and souls under her scalpel.
Now, Ali's surgical skills, in Ling Tian's opinion, had reached a certain level, at least comparable to that of the chief surgeons in major hospitals.
Therefore, Ling Tian had Ali perform the surgery today. After all, Ali's public identity was Ling Tian's assistant, and it was perfectly acceptable for an assistant to perform surgery.
Ali efficiently disinfected the pregnant woman's abdomen and then made an incision with the scalpel.
The cut was precise and fierce. After all, Ali was a thousand-year-old cat demon with spatial abilities, so the patient's skin could not obstruct her vision. Ali knew exactly how deep and where to make the cut.
Ling Tian reached in directly, pulled the fetus out of the womb, and Ali, with lightning speed, severed the umbilical cord.
At this moment, Amamiya Yui had summoned the Firefly Grass. This little spirit floated above the queen, holding a large dandelion and began to perform a ritual.
A green energy instantly enveloped the queen, and everyone could feel the strong vitality contained within that power.
Then, Ali began to clean the amniotic fluid from the queen's abdomen. This amniotic fluid had come into contact with the ghost fetus and was highly toxic. If it remained in the queen's body, it would severely damage her vitality.
Just then, Ling Tian, holding the fetus, approached the glass operating room wall. He gestured for the king to come closer, to show him what this thing was.
The king hesitated for a moment before also coming to the glass wall. Through the glass, he looked at the fetus in Ling Tian's hand.
It was clear that this fetus was abnormal. Its size even exceeded that of many full-term fetuses. To claim it was a six-month-old fetus, no matter how rich the nourishment, it couldn't possibly grow this large.
Looking further at the fetus, its skin was black and covered in wrinkles, looking nothing like a normal fetus.
The king then looked at the fetus's face, and with that glance, he was struck with terror.
What a face it was! Terrifying, gloomy, and filled with an aura of evil. It looked nothing like a human.
Suddenly, the fetus opened its eyes, and a violent, resentful gaze met the king's.
Even though they were more than a meter apart, separated by glass, King Hajif was so frightened that he stumbled back several steps, falling to the ground.
And few of the people around him thought to help the king up; they were so terrified that they turned and fled.
Damn, this was too terrifying. If this wasn't a ghost fetus, then what was it?
"Kill it, Mr. Ling Tian, kill it!" King Hajif shouted.
"Certainly, Your Majesty, as you wish!"
Although the ghost fetus in Ling Tian's hand, which was merely a little ghost, had ingested the soul-soothing grass, it was still indirect absorption, and the medicinal effect was greatly diminished.
Furthermore, with the umbilical cord severed and the abundant supply of nutrients cut off, the little ghost felt hungry, which caused it to wake up.
At this moment, the little ghost sensed impending doom. It struggled desperately, trying to bite Ling Tian, but it couldn't move because Ling Tian was still holding a Dragon-Binding Talisman.
The energy emanating from this talisman suppressed the little ghost, rendering it immobile.
Ling Tian loosened his grip and threw the little ghost onto the ground. As soon as it landed, it no longer resembled a fetus. It stood upright, looking like a three or four-year-old child.
Even more terrifying, the little ghost now had fangs protruding from its mouth!
The little ghost looked at Ling Tian, not daring to charge. Ling Tian still held the Dragon-Binding Talisman, which made it wary. It then quickly rushed towards a glass curtain wall, intending to break through and escape.
However, before the little ghost could reach the glass wall, the Vajra Talisman affixed to the wall detonated, and a blinding white light sent the little ghost flying backward onto the ground.
