Chapter 7 The Child

  Walking on the bustling street, the strange death case of the young masters of several neighboring Xiangcheng families was still being talked about with relish. Zhan Qingkuang inquired around and finally found an unassuming medical clinic. Rich people all bought those expensive medicinal pills, while poor people could only go to clinics for treatment, and those who couldn't even afford clinics had to find their own herbs to boil and drink. Unfortunately, Zhan Qingkuang was now a poor man. He pulled the hood of his cloak down over his face, covering half of it, before entering this clinic with little business.

  "Should I see a doctor or take medicine?" The doctor sitting at the desk seemed indifferent, while a small apprentice next to him was sorting out herbs.

  "See a doctor."

  She brought her hand up, and saw the doctor stroking his beard with a serious look. Before long, he told her something that was like a bolt from the blue on a sunny day.

  "Congratulations, madam, you're pregnant."

  What's going on? Are you kidding me? Pregnant? You've got to be joking!

  "You're not kidding, are you?!" Jian Qing asked, somewhat disbelieving.

  The voice that spoke was a young one, and the doctor somewhat looked down on it. Hmph, another young person who doesn't study well, hangs out with men, and gets her belly big.

  "Believe it or not, this old man's medical clinic has been open for 20 years, and I'm not wrong about this pulse."

  Noticing that the doctor seemed somewhat displeased, Zhan Light thought this statement wouldn't be false, but she had never had a man, where did the child come from? Suddenly, a flash of insight, that man!

  "How long has it been?"

  "It's almost two months now, geez, at such a young age..."

  She can no longer hear what the doctor is saying, two months, and it's still that man who eats and leaves. However, the child? She threw down the crystal coin and walked away lightly, she was shocked by this surprise!

  The child who had no fate in her past life, the child who was dug up by her big brother's own hands, the child who was born out of a crazy love affair. Now, there is a small life growing inside her belly, a life that will slowly grow up and call her "mom", a life that shares her bloodline. Thinking about this, she smiled foolishly for the first time, like an idiot, the happiest idiot in the world. She no longer cared about how the child was conceived, all she wanted to do was give birth to him safely.

  But she suddenly stopped in her tracks, furrowed her brow, and wondered if eating rabbit meat the other day would cause her child to have a cleft palate. Would the three meals a day of sloppy food lead to malnutrition? And what about yesterday's intense exercise, wouldn't it have a bad influence? The more she thought, the more complicated her emotions became.

  No way, no way, the child of a warlike madman is not that fragile. Ah, she kept giving herself encouragement in her heart, and then she laughed foolishly again, with people on the road looking at her strangely.

  "Baby, have you eaten enough today?"

  "Baby, be good and listen!"

  "Baby..."

  Every day, Qing Liang is tirelessly chatting with her baby and gently stroking her belly.

  At three months, the spiritual energy in her body could still gather into a ball in her spiritual foundation and stay there; at five months, the spiritual energy could no longer stay in her spiritual foundation and was directly absorbed; at seven months, she felt that her body was like a medium, a bridge connecting the child and the elements of life, the child was frantically absorbing, each time the elements of life made her meridians ache with pain, her whole body weak.

  That day, Zhan Qingcang looked like he had just been fished out of the water, his face pale and covered in sweat. He patted his belly with a scolding tone and said affectionately: "You're such a greedy little thing, Mom's almost dying from it. Be good, Mom's going out for a bit."

  She ate a life fruit, replenished her physical strength, and left the life space in a daze. She appeared in a mountain cave, it had been a long time since she last came out to take a look, and didn't know if her dishes and things had been messed up by other animals. With a straight waist, she struggled to come out and check.

  A loud roar caught her attention, sounding like the growls of beasts fighting. Originally, she didn't want to intervene, but thinking that if they were to fight all the way to her own doorstep and trample her vegetables, she would have nothing to eat. She picked up a dagger and stealthily made her way towards the scene of the battle.

  Find a big tree to hide, the war is light and crazy looking at the scene in front of me, two leopards are fighting, next to them there is also a small leopard tottering around, constantly making sounds like a kitten. In the animal kingdom, when male cats pursue a mate and want to breed, if there are cubs by the female's side, the males will always bite the cubs to death, so that the females can re-mate and give birth again. Obviously, now the mother leopard is fighting with the male leopard to protect her child, it seems like the little leopard was born only a few days ago, and the difference in strength between the two has already left many wounds on the mother leopard's body.

  Save or not? Looking at the mother leopard's low growl and rushing up again, she decided to save her. One reason was that she was moved by the mother leopard, another reason was that she was too young now, it was hard to get pregnant, and didn't know if there was water at this age, what would her child eat? Now, this mother leopard was clearly in lactation period, so she saved her, letting her be a mother for her child.

  She picked up a few stones beside her, using the hidden strength to strike at the male leopard's eyes, allowing the mother leopard to breathe. The enraged male leopard charged towards the tree where she was hiding, gripping the dagger tightly, waiting for a chance to deliver a fatal blow. With her left hand shooting out stones to distract it, her right hand used the dagger as a hidden weapon, stabbing it into the male leopard's left front leg. The male leopard let out two mournful cries, glared at her with unwilling eyes, and fled in disarray.

  Chased away the male leopard, took two steps forward, and confronted the low-growling mother leopard. Looking at its defensive gaze at itself, it tried to release its kindness, standing still five steps away from it, smiling at it.

  After a long time, the mother leopard found that the person in front of her seemed to have no malice towards her, and walked towards her child, still staring.

  "Come, come." She beckoned with her hand. Zhan Qing didn't know if it could understand what she meant, but it just stared at her with its two eyes. Suddenly, it bit down on Xiao Bao's neck and limped over to her, carrying him in its mouth.

  It understood, War lightly stroked its head, thought better of it, and led it towards his own cave.
