Chapter 2291: 2291
Chapter 2291 Incineration Moon City, Nine Years of Snow The core of the earth… the Absolute Beginning Divine World . Incineration Moon City, a normal city in the Absolute Beginning Divine World .
It was an afternoon of early summer . The skies were supposed to be clear, but instead, snow was falling all over the city .
Snow fell from the sky like goose feathers, coating the entire Incineration Moon City in a layer of silver .
Strangely, the snow did not fall for only a day or two . It had started a long time ago and had not stopped since .
The streets were crowded . Despite the harsh weather, people wore thin layers of clothing, not one bit afraid of the cold .
Occasionally, armoured soldiers would walk pass and melt the accumulated snow on the streets with their pure Divine Power .
Thank the heavens for those soldiers . Without them, the city would have long been buried in snow .
In a tavern, many cultivators gathered for drinks and laughs .
“What is wrong with this weather? Ever since I entered this city, the snow has not stopped!” a burly man with a battle sabre complained as he watched the snow fall from the comfort of the tavern .
“Haha, you must be new,” a purple-haired elder looked over and said, “Stay a while longer and you’ll get used to it . ”
“Get used to it?” the burly man was confused and asked, “Brother, what do you mean? It’s early summer now, how can it be snowing for days?”
“Days? Haha, wrong . The snow has been falling for years,” the purple-haired elder replied .
“Years? You’re kidding, right?” the burly man was shocked .
“I’m not . I’ve been here for the longest time, the snow has been falling for about ten years . Nine years and nine months, to be specific, and it has never stopped,” the purple-haired elder said .
“How is that possible?” the burly man was amazed . “Perhaps there is an elite expert behind the snow? Artificial snow?”
To him, that was the only logical explanation .
No snow could possibly go on for nine years and nine months naturally .
“Haha, I knew you would think that way . But I can assure you that the snow is natural . Sure, it’s weird, but there’s a reason behind it,” the purple-haired elder laughed heartily .
“Reason? What reason?” the burly man asked continuously .
The other cultivators gathered as well . They knew that the snow had lasted for nine years and nine months, but no one knew why, and they all wanted to know .
“The reason…” the purple-haired elder was baiting them .
The burly man took out two bottles of good wine from his Qian Kun Ring and placed it in front of him . “Brother, tell us . ”
The purple-haired elder smiled at the sight of wine . “It’s a rumour around the city . I cannot confirm the legitimacy of it either . ”

He continued, “Apparently, when our Incineration Moon Governor Zhuo Yunfeng’s wife had her third child nine years ago, the snow started and has never stopped since . ”
The burly man frowned and said, “Brother, this is obviously fake . How can someone being pregnant have anything to do with the snow? It is simply a coincidence . ”
The other cultivators felt similarily .
But the purple-haired elder smiled, “What if the child has yet to be born till now?”
“What?”
That unsettled everyone .
Pregnant for nine years, till now?
It couldn’t be .
“That’s the rumour . Ever since Zhuo Yunfeng’s wife Luo Xinqin fell pregnant, the snow has fallen . Nine years and nine months have passed, and yet the child is still unborn . No coincidence there . ” The purple-haired elder smiled .
The burly man and the other cultivators in the tavern nodded in agreement .
It was indeed weird .

The snow was weird .
The unborn child was weirder .
It could not be a coincidence for both to happen concurrently .
“People are saying its a demon . Its been long rumoured in the Incineration Moon City that Luo Xinqin is pregnant with the devil, a monster,” the purple-haired elder added .
The others agreed .
An unborn creature for nine years and nine months had to be a monster .
But at the Absolute Beginning Divine World, where power triumphed over all, a monster could be a good thing instead .
After all, monsters would have their advantages, and many sects in the Absolute Beginning Divine World would undoubtedly want one under their wing .
Governor Zhuo Yunfeng had a good reputation in the city as well . Even though people were talking about Luo Xinqin and her child, no one pointed it out and had no contempt or disgust for it .
The burly man felt content after paying two bottles of fine wine for an interesting story . After some ruckus, the crowd dispersed .
Incineration Moon City, within the Governor’s palace .

Governor Zhuo Yunfeng was a man of his word, and a very fair man as well . He was deeply respected within the city .
In the conference hall of his huge manor, a silver-robed, powerful middle-aged man with a little stubble was discussing issues with a guard commander under him . He was Zhuo Yunfeng .
A maid hurried in .
“Sir, sir . ”
The maid shouted for him as she ran in .
Zhuo Yunfeng frowned and asked, “What is the rush?”
The maid saw the guard commander and realised that Zhuo Yunfeng was discussing business and so she apologised .
“Speak, what is it?” Zhuo Yunfeng asked calmly .
“Sir, Ma’am is about to give birth,” the maid replied .
“What?”
Zhuo Yunfeng flinched, then rushed over towards Luo Xinqin’s room excitedly, disregarding the guard commander .
