After Dumping the Demon Lord, She Got Pregnant with My Child

(First of all, a huge thank-you to my friend, Er Geng Yue, for making this gorgeous cover!) Lu Ran transmigrates into a cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder odd-job disciple. To avoid getting caught up in the terrifying plot of the novel's battle between good and evil, she decides: Make money, stay alive, and keep her distance from all the protagonists. Her plan goes smoothly enough, until she finds a white-robed woman covered in blood in a little hut she'd built in a secret realm. The woman is beautiful, badly injured, and glaringly fierce. Even the hand around Lu Ran's neck is limp with weakness. “Aren't you afraid of me?” Lu Ran gently brushes aside her feeble hand and offers her a bowl of hot porridge. “Why don't you... eat something first?” At first, they each have their own agenda Lu Ran: Save a wandering cultivator in trouble, then send her on her way once she's healed. The beauty: Get a long-term meal ticket, then kill her once she's healed. The beauty is badly hurt and too weak to look after herself, but she's also impossibly picky. If the food is too salty, the soup too bland, or the medicine too bitter, she'll glare coldly at Lu Ran. Lu Ran just thinks she's taken in a spoiled beauty. She winces as she spends a fortune in spirit stones on medicinal ingredients, then goes home and waits on her hand and foot. Yet the beauty's injuries never seem to improve. Before long, she has to be coaxed into eating and held to fall asleep. She won't let Lu Ran out of her sight for even a second. Then the immortal sects surround Lu Ran, intent on killing her. The beauty, who usually needs Lu Ran's help just to stand, steps forward and tears apart the seal with her bare hands. Her demonic aura sweeps over heaven and earth. Only then does Lu Ran realize: The person she saved wasn't some helpless wandering cultivator at all. She was the supreme ruler of all demons, the one who would lay waste to the world. Lu Ran remembers making her serve tea and water, and even pinning her beneath her and bullying her relentlessly, until the corners of the beauty's eyes reddened and she begged in a soft, sweet voice for mercy... Lu Ran hastily packs her things and runs away without a second thought. The Demon Venerable looks at the house Lu Ran has left completely empty. It takes her three days to believe that she's really been abandoned. And so, chaos descends upon the world. The Demon Venerable goes mad, swearing to find Lu Ran no matter what. Everyone is shocked: “Who on earth is the person the Demon Venerable is making such a fuss over?” When Lu Ran hears the news, she spends a year terrified and hiding from place to place. In the end, she's found anyway. The beauty, dressed in black, pins her against a wall. She lifts Lu Ran's chin, her voice low and husky. “Are you going to abandon your wife and child?” Lu Ran trembles. “I'll admit to abandoning my wife... but where did the child come from?” The other woman pulls open her cloak. Her belly is slightly rounded, and her eyes are full of resentment and anger. “You have qilin blood. Why didn't you tell me sooner?” 【A few things to know before you dive in】 1.
