Chapter 178 I'm a father! I'm a father!
Chapter 178 I'm a father! I'm a father!
Ao Jin knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death.
If she follows the old demon king's plan, she will not die and will become the demon queen.
But the blood given by the ancestors can only become a wedding dress for the bastard Xiao Qiwu.
All the results of his hard work and military exploits would be in vain.
It can affect your future status.
The only thing is whether she is trying her best when she is enjoying herself under Xiao Qiwu!
I should theirs?
If you want to escape, the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill is a necessary condition.
As long as you are ruthless enough, after using your external incarnation to refine the golden elixir, you can immediately explode your original body and the dragon elixir.
Although this would cause serious injuries, his cultivation would also drop sharply.
But at least I'm free.
However, if this is the case, the price will be hiding from place to place for hundreds of years.
By the time he recovers to the Demon King realm, his life span may be almost gone.
So...it would be best to get the original one back.
But how difficult is this?
Ao Jin had not been able to find a way to break the impasse before, because the Demon King's Palace had been stabilized and there was no need for another Demon King to fight wars.
but now……
If the three half-step Demon Kings died tragically, their territory would be ownerless. It is impossible for the old Demon King not to be tempted by such a huge piece of fat meat, and the masters of the same level around him would not sit idly by and watch the old Demon King swallow it all.
The old Demon King is already a little old and cannot be easily tossed around.
So there is a high probability that he will send himself out.
Anyway, he is holding my dragon pill hostage, so he must think he can control me.
In this way, he would have enough space to delay until the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill was formed.
only……
The risk is high!
We must kill all the big monsters who doubt us!
Otherwise, let alone the benefits, the consequences of betrayal alone would be beyond what I could bear.
"Ao Jin, are you crazy?"
The little bastard was so angry that he didn't expect Ao Jin to come up with such a crazy plan.
He just wanted to use the demon clan to force the Mu family into a desperate situation and force them to submit to him.
But Ao Jin wanted to kill the three half-step demon kings.
Force the strong to compromise.
And the strong kill the strong.
These are completely different concepts. Where does this crazy woman get the confidence?
Ao Jin looked indifferent: "I'm not crazy! If we carry out the plan, you will return with a full load in the end, but I will gain very little. I don't care about the little things you have from the Stealing Heaven Pavilion. I must have equal benefits.
Two people share the benefits and two people share the risks. It's very reasonable!"
The little bastard was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "But you can still take their demon pills and blood essence, but I have to sacrifice a few lives to help you kill them. This is unreasonable!"
Ao Jin said calmly: "What if I can provide the combat power of two half-step war gods?"
"Ok?"
The little turtle climbed up to the edge of the fish tank and looked at Ao Jin with a scrutinizing gaze.
Think for a moment.
It sneered and said, "You are quite courageous. You actually dare to cooperate with the Qian Kingdom. But as far as I know, apart from the Taizu Dharmakaya, the Qian Kingdom does not have the expert you mentioned."
Ao Jin said calmly: "Don't worry about this, just tell me whether you dare to do this vote!"
The little bastard was silent for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Okay, okay! I used to think that I was out of tune with this world, but now it seems that there are many people as crazy as me. Let's do this deal, and have a happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!"
Ao Jin waved his hand, and the black mist disappeared into his palm.
She gripped the armrest of the chair tightly and tightly, her breathing became disordered, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
She seemed to sense that freedom and dignity were calling her.
But along with it comes the tension of gambling with one’s life.
"You're so crazy!"
Qin Muye's voice came to my ears.
Ao Jin rubbed his temple and said, "Don't blame me for forcing you to cooperate with Pu Minglong!"
Qin Muye laughed: "With enemies everywhere, it's not easy to find a partner. I'm not that ungrateful. If it works, it will be good for both you and me, but the risk will be greater."
Sometimes, he admired Ao Jin's courage.
If this wave succeeds, not only will the other leg of the messenger of God be crippled, but the attention of the Demon King's Palace will also be attracted to the other three territories.
Ao Jin betrayed the Demon King Palace and could only be tied to the chariot of Qian Kingdom.
Win-win!
No, it’s a win-win-win situation!
Naturally, he didn't want to see Pu Minglong win. This thing was not a good thing.
But no matter what, Pu Minglong's threat is always smaller than that of the messenger of God.
At least he couldn't build the Great Sage Temple. Without the Great Sage Temple, they wouldn't be able to form an alliance with the demon clan.
Cooperation is feasible.
This risk is worth taking.
Ao Jin sighed: "Next, let's discuss the distribution of benefits! The pill embryo you gave me is very weak. Even if the pill is completed, it will require a lot of smelting of blood essence and inner pills to reach the level I want.
So in this way, the demon body is all yours, which should be able to satisfy your and Taoist Kongxu's needs for puppet refining.
I can give you one portion of the demon pill and blood essence of the Half-Step Demon King realm, and the rest will all belong to me.
Most of these powerful outsiders are born and raised as fierce beasts. Their effects may not be as good as the blood of divine beasts, and they may not be able to help you overcome that hurdle. So whether to refine them or use them to refine puppets is up to you to decide."
"Good! That makes sense!"
Qin Muye did not raise any objections. Regardless of Ao Jin's other qualities, at least she was quite qualified as an ally.
The dragon race is definitely not weak in intelligence. If they put their minds to the negotiation, they are likely to get more spoils.
But she...seemed disdainful.
Ao Jin has completely regained his composure: "It's a pleasure to work with you. I don't want to see you in the next few days."
Qin Muye: “…”
Oh no?
You little female dragon, why are you so fitful?
But think about it.
As long as she succeeds this time, a vast world will be waiting for her, and she will be able to get rid of Qiwu for a long time.
If you are not disgusted, you naturally won't want to retaliate.
As a tool, I have lost my value.
The dragon clan is still too proud.
……
So the next few days.
Ao Jin really didn't say another word to Qin Muye.
It seemed that those absurd encounters were also an unbearable past for her.
Qin Muye didn't come over either.
Say something.
It is indeed a pity to miss the opportunity to get the beauty of the dragon clan.
But things like love all depend on fate.
This decision is enough to show how proud Ao Jin is.
For such a proud girl, it would be difficult to win her over without resorting to some despicable means.
The feeling he got in this way was not what he wanted.
and……
"It seems that I was right to be the bad guy!"
Li Xingluo rested his head on Qin Muye's shoulder and gently drew circles on his chest with his fingers.
She leaned close to his ear and kept breathing hot air: "Muye, do you think I'm despicable? If Yu Ji was by your side, you might have become a dragon knight."
Qin Muye glared at her: "Yuji just feels that she should leave. If not, she is also very petty."
Li Xingluo half-raised himself and said with some resentment, "If she doesn't want to give you to me, then do you not want me?"
"I……"
Qin Muye choked, feeling that he had said something out of turn.
In fact, he just wanted to say: Anyway, you didn’t love me at that time, you just wanted me to help you.
This is the truth.
But it's obviously not appropriate to say it out loud.
Li Xingluo covered his mouth and said with a smile: "If you are thinking about how to coax me, then don't say the rest. Let me ask you another question. If Yuji finds you with the child now and asks you to abandon me and start over with her, will you agree?"
"How can it be!"
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Because I love you!"
"I love you too!"
Li Xingluo smiled: "But I am very careful. From now on, if a woman approaches you, I will try to drive her away, just like I drove away the little female dragon. You won't be angry, right?"
Qin Muye shook his head: "I'm not angry!"
Li Xingluo bit her red lips lightly: "But you lost a chance to be a dragon knight, don't you feel regretful?"
Qin Muye thought for a moment and said, "Don't mention it, it's really a pity."
Li Xingluo reached down and said, "If you can't ride the dragon, then ride me more to make up for it, right?"
Qin Muye was shocked: "Didn't we just..."
"It's okay, I'll help you!"
Li Xingluo smiled and shrank into the quilt.
Qin Muye: “!!!”
……
Winter passes and spring comes.
Rebirth.
Although Nanwu City is located in the frontier, it has become one of the most prosperous cities in Qian Kingdom.
Once the fairy city is built in the heart of Annan, the prosperity here will be raised to a higher level.
Only now, it has become a hub for trade among southwestern countries.
In the future, its influence on various countries will only grow greater and greater.
This city was born only for trade.
However, the power over the entire Nanwu City's trade is held in the hands of a woman.
This woman's surname is Bai. It is said that she was a scumbag who deceived the eldest son of the Qin family into marriage and then ran away with the baby.
There are also rumors that she is the princess of the fallen Nanzhao.
Most people scoffed at this: It’s not that unofficial history is unbelievable, but yours is too wild.
The Bai Mansion is extremely lively at this moment.
The imperial doctors who had been trained for such a long time had all entered high-speed operation mode.
The production room was clean.
Not only was it cleaned thoroughly in advance, but all the furniture and fabrics inside were also boiled in water many times.
In the delivery room now, besides the mother in labor, there are only the midwife who was a former imperial physician, and some maids who are well versed in medicine.
Bai Yuji lay sideways on the bed, stroking the eager little guy across her belly, with a smile on her face.
During this period, relying on the power and wealth of Nanwu City, although Nanzhao had not yet restored its country, it had seen a trend of revival and its influence in the southwestern countries was increasing.
Under such influence, there is still a part of people who cannot let go of their hatred for the Qin family.
I no longer have any prejudice against the little guy in my belly.
That's good!
She had asked the imperial physician to check using secret methods and found out that it was a boy. She thought he would definitely look like Qin Muye.
Sometimes she really felt it was magical that a person's belly could give birth to a child who looked very similar to another person.
She was looking forward to it, but also a little scared.
Even for practitioners, giving birth is a very painful thing.
She gently grasped the corner of her clothes and said, "Imperial Doctor, when can I give birth?"
"This... Young Madam, don't you feel anything yet?"
The midwife was also a little confused. The fetus was already full-term and she had eaten scrambled eggs with castor oil. Now she had been massaging her Zusanli acupoint. It had been so many hours, she should have felt it by now!
Bai Yuji shook his head: "No..."
To be honest, she was a little scared.
The most frightening thing is waiting, not knowing when the disaster will come.
Might as well just come here directly.
She looked nervous.
The midwife smiled and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, Madam Qin. You have a strong skeleton, so it will be much easier for you to give birth than other women. Some women may not be able to give birth for a whole day and night, and they are really walking back and forth at the gates of hell."
"How long will it take me?"
Bai Yuji couldn't help but ask.
The midwife looked at her with a smile and said, "Based on my experience, you can expect to survive for two hours at most."
"Two hours..."
Bai Yuji breathed a sigh of relief: "It should stop hurting in two hours, right?"
Midwife: "It hurts even after two hours."
"..."
"This is a piece of flesh that fell off your body, how can it not hurt? In fact, you should have listened to me and asked the major general to come over to accompany you. Even if he just stood outside the door, you would have felt more at ease."
"If he does anything, it will only cause trouble."
Bai Yuji smiled gently, but there was a hint of loss in her eyes.
She also wanted to call him, but if Qin Muye really came, would she be willing to let him go?
Don't let him go.
Are you ready to accept him completely?
Fortunately, I didn't scream.
"what!"
She suddenly screamed.
The midwife was startled: "What's wrong?"
Bai Yuji's voice was a little trembling: "I, my stomach shrank a little!"
The midwife was surprised and delighted: "That's the beginning! Quick, quick, hot water!"
It only shrank a few times.
Bai Yuji was in so much pain that sweat broke out on her forehead. Even though she had made countless mental preparations, she couldn't help but panic at this moment.
The pain seemed to accumulate, and soon it reached a point where she could no longer bear it.
Giving birth to a child is like walking through the gates of hell.
You can't get through it easily just because you are a practitioner.
Because the fetus absorbs nutrients from the mother, he also needs stronger training to activate his heart and lungs and retain more innate energy.
and……
This is torture from the inside out. No matter how strong the practitioner is, if his dantian is shattered, he will be unable to live or die.
How easy can having a baby be?
The groans became more and more frequent.
In severe pain.
Bai Yuji's mind became increasingly blurred. He felt a buzzing in his head, as if he was drowning. He could only vaguely hear the shouts of people on the water.
Let her breathe deeply and hard.
She tried hard to cooperate, but always failed.
She was helpless.
I felt as helpless as when I crawled out of a snake's belly as a child and saw the corpses of my relatives all over the ground.
Now, she longs for someone to rely on.
In a state of confusion.
She called out softly, "Makino."
The midwife was overjoyed: "Major General! Major General! Madam is calling you, come here quickly!"
"what?"
Bai Yuji was so shocked that she woke up for a moment and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Don't let him come over, I'm so ugly now!"
But the fog had already appeared quietly and condensed into a human figure beside the bed.
Qin Muye held her hand, tears almost falling: "Not ugly, not ugly at all, you are the most beautiful."
Bai Yuji burst into tears and said aggrievedly, "Why did you come just now?"
Qin Muye quickly explained: "I wanted to come from the beginning, but the imperial physician wouldn't let me..."
The midwife smiled and said, "If you wanted to come right from the start, the young lady wouldn't let you! Please encourage the young lady, and let's continue!"
Bai Yuji held Qin Muye's face in her hands: "Look at me, don't look down..."
"Ok!"
Qin Muye kissed the back of her hand lightly and nodded.
After a brief sobriety.
Bai Yuji fell into a drowning state again, but this time she had a hand to hold on to, and she didn't seem so lonely anymore.
then.
Just struggling like this.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard a cry.
At this moment, all the pain disappeared in an instant, and she felt as if her whole body was sublimated, and she even had a feeling of floating in the air.
In the face of this feeling, exhaustion and fatigue seem to be nothing.
Qin Muye's voice came to his ears: "Look at our son."
Bai Yuji opened her eyes and looked into her arms. She couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This dirty clown kid is our son?"
"What's ugly about it?"
Qin Muye stiffened his neck and retorted: "How beautiful! Just think about it, we are handsome men and beautiful women, no matter who the child looks like, it can't be ugly!"
Bai Yuji pursed her lips and just smiled foolishly.
The midwife stood up and chased them away: "Major General, we have to check the little general's body, and the young lady should also pass lochia. Would you like to go out for a while?"
Qin Muye naturally didn't want to go out: "I..."
Bai Yuji urged, "Get out! Lochia discharge is too ugly, you can't watch it!"
"Okay, okay!"
Qin Muye could only nod, and reluctantly turned into mist and floated out of the window.
There is an attic in Bai Mansion.
Standing on it, you can see the bustling streets outside the palace.
The mist floated upwards and condensed into Qin Muye's figure again.
But besides him, there is also a tall middle-aged man here.
Qin Muye glanced at him and said, "Thanks for taking care of me these days!"
"My dear grandson, it's my duty!"
Qin Kaijiang didn't even look at him. He leaned on the railing, took out a piece of licorice from somewhere and handed it to him.
This kind of licorice is produced locally in Annan. It is very bitter, but after the bitterness it has an extremely sweet aftertaste.
The soldiers of Annan would chew one when they felt tasteless in their mouth or wanted to refresh themselves.
He had been chewing in the attic for two hours.
Qin Muye took the licorice and put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
Although this was his first time in Nanwu City, it didn't mean he wasn't paying attention to the situation here.
As the influence of the Nanzhao survivors in various countries grows, and Bai Yuji's methods become more and more brutal, more and more people come to assassinate her.
If Lao Deng hadn't sent people to protect us, or even showed up in person occasionally, life here would definitely not be so comfortable.
Leaning on the railing.
Qin Muye was a little dazed.
Qin Kaijiang still had that serious look on his face: "How does it feel to be a father?"
Qin Muye grinned: "To be honest, I feel like I haven't come yet. I'm not very familiar with that newborn little brother yet."
This is telling the truth.
At the beginning, he really felt that the moment he saw the child, he would have a sense of destiny that they were connected in spirit.
But in fact, when I really saw the child, although I was touched, I could not enter into the state of deep father-son love at all.
In fact, most of the attention is on the child's mother.
It really hurts me.
Qin Kaijiang smiled, which was rare for him. “Children develop feelings only after being raised for a long time. You should say more nice things to them and take care of them when you have the chance. Even if you can just send a stupid kid to play with them, that’s fine.”
"You've educated me."
The corners of Qin Muye's mouth twitched.
Qin Kaijiang's smile gradually faded. He was silent for a long time, then laughed at himself: "I also went through this day, but you are luckier than me."
Qin Muye: “…”
Honestly.
He was fucked into silence.
Because in my childhood impression, although Lao Deng was very serious and stern, he was also a competent father.
Lao Deng's experience is much more extreme than his own.
His wife was his first love and an angel investor, but she turned around and dug out their son’s marrow and forcibly tied him to the warship of the messenger of God.
Who can stand this?
The father and son leaned against the railing, chewing licorice together, and no one spoke for a long time.
a long time.
a long time.
Qin Kaijiang finally spoke up: "Are you sure you want to go to the ruins of the gods this time?"
"must go!"
"Just to prove that Li Xingluo can do it?"
"Yes!"
"You may not know how dangerous this is. She doesn't have the slightest..."
“She’s worth it!”
"..."
Qin Kaijiang was silent for a while: "In that case, then you should do what you think is right! However, I will also do what I think is right."
Qin Muye smiled and said, "I will prove you wrong!"
Qin Kaijiang said indifferently: "Then I will wait for this day."
The atmosphere fell into awkward silence again.
Until a piece of bird shit landed on the railing.
Qin Kaijiang seemed to have just thought of something: "Oh, right! It's just in time for you to come to Annan, so I don't have to make an extra trip to Kyoto."
"Ok?"
Qin Muye became interested.
Qin Kaijiang looked a little solemn: "Did His Majesty tell you that in addition to Taizu's Dharma Body, he would also send a half-step God of War expert to help you?"
"Ok!"
"Do you have a sword?"
"Bring it!"
Qin Muye drew out his sword, and then saw Qin Kaijiang holding the sword.
"This is……"
"Taijun Sword Spirit!"
