I Woke Up Pregnant With An Undead's Child

Chapter 76

Chapter 76: The Silkworm Road [10]

The blood on the tip of his tongue dripped ontothe Jade Bi in his hand, quietly flowing on the Jade Bi’s veined lines.

Perhaps hearing them coming, Yue QinCangquickened his movements and put the deep red-blooded Jade Bi on the coffin lid.Only the clicking sound was heard before the coffin lid was opened and Yue QinCangpopped inside. Zhang Qiu’s scalp numbed. What if a zongzi jumped out of thecoffin?!

Zhang Qiu was obviously worrying aboutnothing. Yue QinCang seemed to know what’s inside, but in a few seconds, YueQinCang had come out of the coffin, wiped the blood from his mouth and staredat them. “You want to avenge that cheap Gao ZhiHao?”

Yue QinCang probably took them as paddlingin Gao ZhiHao’s team.

However, that’s a lot to say. Although GaoZhiHao paid them, they wanted even more to ferret out the people whomanipulated the plot behind the scene.

There was obviously a problem with Yue QinCangin front of them. Li Shu had just moved and Yue QinCang had already flew and jumpeddown. His movement was quick as he launched a rope with his left hand to tie upat the bottom of the suspended coffin and fell fast into the mountainous region.

“It’s really troublesome.” Qi Ximuttered as he took off the clothes he had just worn, and in the next second, nakedQi Xi turned into his true form, roared loudly and rushed down into themountainous region.

The mountain was hollowed out, with a streamdripping from the top, beating on the black coffin, and then flowing down.

Yue QinCang saw the true form of Qi Xi, andhis eyes flashed with horror. He loosened the rope on his hand and jumpedquickly to the side of the mountain wall, then quickly went down. Compared withQi Xi’s large size, Yue QinCang appeared slim. He agilly avoided Qi Xi’s claws,making Qi Xi constantly roaring.

The figure of one person and one beast fellrapidly; Zhang Qiu could only see two black spots.

“Don’t have to help?” Zhang Qiuasked Li Shu.

Li Shu shook his head and said: “Ergeand the other are outside, Yue QinCang can’t run.”

Zhang Qiu was about to ask Li Shu how wouldhe know, when suddenly he heard a crow, which was Erge’s true form phoenix, andhe relaxed. Li Shu let Pei Qing stay where he was and stuffed Lao Er into ZhangQiu’s arms. Tiptooed a little and light-handed, he already climbed onto thehuge black coffin hanging in the air.

At this moment, a hand popped out of theblack coffin. As soon as Zhang Qiu saw it, his heart tightened and he shouted caution.

Li Shu avoided the hand and his whole personfell into the coffin. Zhang Qiu’s heart was suspended. He heard the sound ofbanging and slamming inside. Pei Qing had planned to turn into his true form tohelp, but then saw Li Shu flipped over and sat on the coffin wall, bendingslightly and reaching out as if to pull out the things inside.

The next second, an arc streaked across fromthe black coffin and smashed directly on their side. Zhang Qiu pulled XiaoJiang back two steps, and Pei Qing came forward and caught it.

The black coffin, which was suspended in theair, immediately fell down and Li Shu borrowed the force to vault ashore.

Bang bang boom—

The huge black coffin was smashed to pieces.

Zhang Qiu was relieved to see Li Shu in goodcondition. Pei Qing next to him opened his mouth and said, “Li Shu, thisman seems to be alive.”

A living person?

Zhang Qiu looked at over. Li Shu had justthrown out a man from his coffin. Pei Qing laid down the man. Zhang Qiu saw theman was, as if fully plastered with black pieces of armor (shell) plating, withthin lips pursed tight, thick eyebrows above the long and narrow eyes opened,sweeping over them in sharp expression.

The atmosphere was somewhat strange. Obviously,the man in front of them was not a normal ordinary person. What could anythingturn out of the coffin be human?!

Zhang Qiu thought the man might be about thesame as Li Shu.

“What are you guys doing standing herefoolishly?”

Qi Xi’s voice came from behind. Qi Xi wore abig coat and was still muttering, “Every one of you so disliking my figure.”

Apparently Zhang YuShui threw his coat to QiXi, because he disliked Qi Xi being naked, which tainted Pixian Hui Wang’seyes.

All three arrived, but only Yue QinCang wasmissing.

“What about the person?”

Qi Xi’s face showed he was unhappy.“Don’t mention it. That fellow got better all of a sudden. I kept chasing afterhim until below. He seemed to know the route as he ran out from the tunnelbelow. Zhang Yushui had followed closely and caught up with him. As a result, therewas another woman took him away.” After that, he glanced to the ground andasked Zhang Qiu, “Who is this? All over his body like being stuck with herbalplaster.”

Suddenly the man on the ground opened hiseyes and glanced sharply at Qi Xi who was talking.

Qi Xi felt a bit freaked out from beingstared at, and his mouth talked cheap. “You still look at me. Believe itor not, I took your herbal plasters and sold it for money.”

“You don’t talk nonsense.” ZhangQiu kicked Qi Xi and said the man was turned out of the coffin.

Zhang YuShui looked at him and tentativelycalled out, “Bie Ling?” (Bie= freshwater soft-shelledturtle| Ling=spirit)

Zhang Qiu saw the man’s eyes move, obviouslythere was a drama there, and he questioned in few words to get to the heart ofthe matter. The man’s eyes flashed fiercely, and probably because he dislikedthem continuously saying Bie Ling, he was too upset and finally said: “GaiMing.” But the man’s pronunciation was strange. Zhang Qiu thought for amoment, patted his head and said, “Kai Ming? Bie Ling later became themonarch of Shu, also known as Kai Ming State.”

So the man’s name was Kai Ming.

“My good brother Kai Ming, can we getup and go out as soon as possible?” Qi Xi saw Kai Ming still lying on theground, he shrugged as he said, “Or do you want us to send you back intothe coffin? Oh, you can’t go back, the coffin has been broken. Otherwise, youshould get up first. I’ll give you a chance to make a new one...”

Li Shu looked at Kai Ming’s legs. “Hecan’t walk any more.”

“It turned out to be disab——Er, brotherKai Ming don’t mind. I don’t mean to discriminate against you.” Qi Xi saidquickly.

Kai Ming’s eyes flashed fiercely and saidcoldly, “That man took my Golden Bone.”

“Who?” Just as Qi Xi finished, heremembered, “Yue QinCang?”

“Yue QinCang.” Kai Ming read outthe name sounded like he’s trying to peel Yue QinCang’s skin.

Zhang Qiu didn’t know what the Golden Bonewas, but apparently Kai Ming couldn’t walk without his Golden Bone. Puttingaside who had gotten angry, a fugitive must belong to some place that couldprovide clues. And Yue QinCang’s family lived in Chengdu.

The few of them apparently thought:regardless of Kai Ming wanted to take back his Golden Bone, Zhang Qiu andcompany still wanted to know the people behind the scene. They had been manipulatedby the people behind scene from the very beginning to the present, especiallyQi Xi, who wanted to avenge his father.

It was time to turn passive into activecounterattack.

Back on the way, because Kai Ming’s legswere inconvenient to walk and the few of them could not really throw him here,Qi Xi carried him on his back in the end. When carrying him on the back, ZhangQiu noticed that Kai Ming lacked a piece of armor plating on his lower back.

All over Kai Ming’s body was plastered withblack pieces of armor plating, but there was only one place where his skin wasexposed. He had not been under the sunshine for a long time that his skin waswhite.

When they came out, they found that theblack slabs floating in the air had fallen, like the coffin, which could floatbecause Kai Ming was inside; these things had lost their strength of support.

From then on, it could clearly be seen thatthis person Kai Ming was not simple.

Back inside the car, Zhang Qiu found thatthe other two cars had disappeared. It should be Gao ZhiHao’s hired thugs. KaiMing was reclining on the seat, observing the car without a word or movement,and his eyes flashed with astonishment.

Pei Qing started the car and it slowly went ontothe mountain road. Kai Ming leaned close onto the back seat and said slowly, “AzureDragon, Xiezhi, Phoenix, in addition of two undeads and one that just awakenedDivine Bloodline.”

The two undeads referred to Pixian Hui Wangand Xiao Jiang. The awakened Divine Bloodline was Li Shu.

“So what are you?” Li Shu retorted.

Kai Ming looked out of the window, frownedand said, “After death, there’s armor plating appeared on my body. I don’tknow what I am.”

After death should refer to priorly beingdrifting along the upstream river, and later arrived at Chengdu, the land ofShu and was rescued by Du Yu.

Kai Ming stared at the black plating on hisarm. Qi Xi was very curious. He pointed and asked, “What’s the use of allthis? A protective shield? How are you taking a bath?”

“Once in a thousand years was when GoldenBone came into being.” Every time he was the weakest, he was awaked forless than a quarter of an hour, and could not open the eyelids, before he fellinto endless sleep. When Kai Ming mentioned Golden Bone, he recalled it beingstolen by that Yue QinCang fellow and his eyes harboring fierceness.

Kai Ming spoke slowly, might be because itwas too long of not speaking or not accustomed to their pronunciation, he triedto mimic, yet it was still a bit weird, but everyone could understand. It could clearly be seen that he had a valiant innate skill.

“Obviously someone has figured out whenthe Golden Bone will appear.” Li Shu looked at Kai Ming. “Who builtthe tomb?”

Kai Ming’s train of thought went far, thenshook his head and said, “At that time, I was covered with armor plating,my strength retreated and I lost consciousness.”

Another dead end.

It’s getting late. When they got back to thevillage where they had stayed the night before, they parked the car and got out.Zhang Qiu pulled Li Shu’s clothes out of his luggage. Kai Ming’s whole body wascovered in black armour plating and fortunately it was winter, he could stillhide it in a high-collar sweater. As for his hair, casually tied it up and puton a hat, would do.

“Now I really want to shoot that YueQinCang fellow. He ran away after the whole thing and made me clean up the messfor him.” Qi Xi said indignantly, but his hand helped Kai Ming to dress upand get him out of the car.

Zhang Qiu twisted his head and said,“Get a move on! We haven’t had a meal.”

“There’s food to eat!” Qi Xilicked his mouth, carried Kaiming and walked to the yard, saying: “you’relucky, brother. The bacon in this house is delicious, and there’s a big Mantou——”his footsteps paused and his words stopped.

Zhang Qiu stood awkwardly in place. As soonas he entered the yard, he saw Qi ZhiRong sitting on a chair under the shed, lookingout of place with nobility and indifferent. Before he could speak, Qi Xifollowed him in.

The atmosphere seemed to have solidified.

Qi ZhiRong’s indifferent look swept towardsQi Xi, and his eyes moved to the person in Qi Xi’s arms.

Qi Xi’s hands that carried Kai Ming stirredand his eyes shook but only a flash. Then, he quickly gained ground and said asthough there were nobody else present, “I’ll send him back to the roomfirst.”

Zhang Qiu looked at Qi ZhiRongsubconsciously. Qi ZhiRong dropped his eyes and his expression couldn’t be seenclearly. “That was——” He wanted to explain something, but Qi ZhiRonghad stood up and entered his room.

What the hell was going on here?

Zhang Qiu looked at Li Shu. Li Shu held XiaoJiang calmly and said, “Wash up and then eat, aren’t you hungry?”

Nevertheless, Qi Xi and Qi ZhiRong both hadgaps in their hearts. Outsiders couldn’t get to stick their hand in, but couldonly be watching on the two.

When Zhang Qiu came out, Qi Xi also cameout, sat under the shed and glanced at the room at the opposite. Pei Qing, whohad just parked the car in the backyard, said, “Don’t look, I just saw himgo away.”

Qi Xi’s clenced his fists and sneered beforehe said, “What does he have to do with me?”

“You even know who before I say thename?” Pei Qing saw Qi Xi’s mouth not match with his heart, but at thoughtof the elder Xiezhi in Zhongshan Country, he said nothing more.

Because Qi ZhiRong suddenly appeared andleft again, no one was in the mood to crack jokes at dinner. Contrariwise, KaiMing was eating every dish and porridge with extraordinary conscientious. Afterdinner, Zhang Qiu sent Kai Ming back to his room. Qi Xi looked a little fidgetyand went out; it was unkown what he was going to do.

Back in the room, Zhang Qiu sighed. Li Shusaw it and without asking why, he smiled as he went near and kissed Zhang Qiu’slips tenderly.

“Still sighing?”

Zhang Qiu was pleased by the kiss. He puthis arms around Li Shu’s neck and heavily nodded his head. “Still sighing.”

Lips and lips inseparably closed and fitted,rolling and sucking. Zhang Qiu was out of breath from the kiss that his legsturned soft and hung on Li Shu’s body. The mood between the two people all of asudden became sticky and they dared not look at each other, as if a little bitmore and they would be burn. However, right now the small room was obviouslynot suitable for them to express their longing after so long.

There was knocking at the door.

Xiao Jiang shouted for Daddy from outside.

Zhang Qiu’s face was red and his legs werestill soft, sitting on the stool. Therefore, Li Shu went to open the door.

“Daddy, why is your mouth so red likehot? Do you eat chili?!” Xiao Jiang poked at his mouth and asked.

Zhang Qiu unconsciously licked his lowerlip, which was still scorching. He felt the heated line of sight above his headas if it could melt people. He knew it was Li Shu. He quickly changed thetopic. Otherwise, it would be bad for two Daddies to do shy things in front ofthe children.

“What’s in your hand?”

Xiao Jiang held a file bag in his hand andput it down before he said, “I went to pee pee and Uncle Qi gave it to me.It was the Uncle Qi, with ice-cold face.”

Qi ZhiRong? Didn’t he just leave? He was backagain?

Zhang Qiu looked at Li Shu. Li Shu took thebag in Xiao Jiang’s hand and glanced at it. Then he handed it to Zhang Qiu as hesaid, “Qi ZhiRong had found something. Su Zhicai had contacted this person.The previous maps and Jade Bis were revealed to various companies under thisperson’s name.”

“The person behind the scene?!”Zhang Qiu suddenly thought so. He flipped over the information in his hand,which had an English name, Christine D. “It’s this woman?”

The above information was intricate. If ithadn’t been for the enormous expenditure of energy, it would have beenimpossible to make a painstaking investigation to find this person. It lookedlike the once familiar maps and Jade Bis had passed through dozens of peoplebefore they came out. Based on these, Qi ZhiRong could finally find out about thisChristine person and the connection with Su Zhicai, who just happened to cometo Beijing once ten years ago and once in May this year.

At the same time, there were severalbusinessmen who have dealings with Christine. Zhang Qiu had no impression onthem. Li Shu reminded him that they were probably wearing borrowed skins. Butunexpectedly at the end, he saw Yue Donghui’s and Yue QinCang’s names withastonishment.

“Does Yue QinCang know this personbehind the scene?”

Zhang Qiu recalled about Yue QinCang’s face.He felt that it was unlike Yue QinCang, who was young and vigorous with clearand stubborn eyes, and more like being exploited.

“Whether he knew or being used, we’llknow after we go back and investigate.” Li Shu said.

At night, Zhang Qiu gave Qi Xi theinformation. Perhaps, Qi ZhiRong came here to give Qi Xi the information.

Back in the room, Zhang Qiu took Li Shu inhis arms and enjoyed the moment of intimacy. At the side, Xiao Jiang ranbouncingly while holding a cloud of crimson fog in his hand, and asked withdimples out, “Daddy, what is this? Can it be eaten?”

Zhang Qiu was jump frightened as soon as hesaw it. He was busy all the way and had no time to introduce Er Baozi to XiaoJiang. (baozi=steamed stuffed bun)

“Xiao Jiang, this is——” As he wassaying, the cloud of crimson fog in Xiao Jiang’s hand slowly dispersed to bothsides. Zhang Qiu saw Xiao Jiang’s eyes were staring with great surprise, lookingat the cloud of fog in his hands with rounded eyes. His small face wasstretched tautly and he replaced his hand with both to cup it. After looking atit for a long time, he very cautiously raised his head and said, “Daddy, Meimeiis really beautiful, soft and fragrant.” (Meimei=little sis)

Good son, this is your little brother!

He can’t be your little sister just because he is beautiful ah, yourlittle brother have tingting.

Zhang Qiu came closed. Xiao Jiang lookedcuriously and excitedly at his “meimei” in his palms. Er Baozi wokeup and stretched out in a daze. His hazy eyes were brimming with mist, whichmade people having a tender affection for him and wanting to protect him. His longhair slid down to cover his body and as soon as he saw two big heads comingnear, he blinked his eyes curiously and stared.

By being stared at, the father and son hadtheir hearts beat wildly.

My son is so pretty, so beautiful, and so Susu ah! (susu= idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character)

My Meimei is so pretty, so beautiful, I want to protect Meimei ah!

Li Shu had his lips rose slightly as he sawthe same expression on the father and son and then he too came closer. Threebig faces then looked at Er Baozi in the cloud of fog. After a while, Zhang Qiufound a problem. Lao Er was born with a smaller physique than Xiao Jiang andhad obviously slept in the fog for almost a day, but soon his white face showeda little sleepiness. Looking at the little one appeared sleepy and wanted to closehis eyes yet tried hard to be awake, made Zhang Qiu’s heart ached.

“Dear son, go to sleep if you’resleepy.” After Zhang Qiu finished talking, he remembered that his son hadnot eaten for a day. Seeing Er Baozi’s weak appearance, he could not help butsoften his voice and asked Li Shu, “What is Lao Er going to eat?”

Xiao Jiang previously would have both milkpowder and blood. Right now, where to find milk powder? Zhang Qiu had not thoughtabout it, nor did he have the principle when he had Xiao Jiang. He reached outa dagger to prick his finger, but was stopped by Li Shu.

“I’ll do it.” As soon as Li Shu finishedsaying, a soybean-sized blood bead came out from the pad of his finger, and hefed it to Lao Er’s mouth. Lao Er’s sleepy eyes were in daze as he moved his smallmouth. Perhaps, he could perceive the smell, his mouth sucked hard. Just likethat, Lao Er sucked up tiny beads of blood untill he was full and sleepy, and thenwent to sleep in a cute manner.

Zhang Qiu said worriedly, “Such a smallappetite!”

Xiao Jiang frowned beside him and said likea small adult, “Meimei eats too little and won’t grow tall.”

“He’s too young to eat too much and properlydigest.” Li Shu embraced Zhang Qi and pointed to Xiao Jiang as he said,“Xiao Jiang didn’t eat for a day after he was born.” Later, Xiao Jianghugged his finger and ate to fill his stomach to bursting point and still wouldnot let go, but did only after he weeded him off. Anyway, it was not necessaryto tell Zhang Qiu these.

Zhang Qiu also thought that it was right. Hecould not let the child eat to bursting point, but his family’s Lao Er was toothin.

“It’s fine to raise him until he growsup; look at Xiao Jiang.” Li Shu even compared Xiao Jiang.

Zhang Qiu recalled Xiao Jiang, who had beenin his pocket at the beginning. Looking at the lovely fat boy with round face,Zhang Qiu thought that it was reasonable. He carefully thought about theparenting manual, put his worry out and said confidently, “Lao Er is sobeautiful, we must think of a resounding name, just as resounding as XiaoJiang.”

Li Shu glanced at Xiao Jiang in silence. Is his name very resounding?

Xiao Jiang proudly raised his chest and noodedhis head like a chick pecking rice, as he echoing Daddy’s words.

“Meimei’s name should be as nice asXiao Jiang’s name.”

“Dear son, this is a Didi, not a Meimei.”(didi=little bro)

“No, Daddy lies. It’s Meimei. Meimeilooks nice.”

“It’s really Didi——Argh, forget it.You’ll know once you see his tintin later.”

Zhang Qiu was plunged into giving Lao Er aspecial name as resounding as Lao Da. Xiao Jiang echoed with excitement all theway around. At the side, Li Shu felt complicated and not easy to expresssuccinctly. He was worried about Lao Er, but when he saw Zhang Qiu lookedadorable as he was muttering and overturning names, he let it be, as long asZhang Qiu was happy. Anyway, it was not for him.

Early the next morning.

Zhang YuShui looked at Li Shu with a shockedface. “Can’t you care about it? With that name, your family’s Lao Er mightkill you when he grows up.”

Pixian Hui Wang couldn’t help laughing, evenKai Ming in the primitive myth at the side showed a subtle expression.

Li XiaoHong(little red), Li XiaoMei(littlebeauty), Li XiaoXiao(very little)...

Zhang Qiu put away his little book of a night’sthinking. Seeing that everyone said so, he could help showed a bad expression.Li Shu touched his head and said with a gentle smile, “Not bad. There areseveral resounding ones.”

“Daddy, that’s right!” Xiao Jiangnodded his head.

Pei Qing, who was driving in the front seat,almost drove the car down the ditch. He laughed as he said, “You guys arereally out of expectation.”

With everybody being this way, Zhang Qiufell into self-doubt. Li Shu pinched Zhang Qiu’s bulging cheeks, which lookedlike Xiao Jiang’s cheeks.

Xiao Jiang propped up his face and was puzzled.Daddy’s names for Meimei were clearly very pleasant.

Qi Xi was sitting in the back corner all thewhile not speaking. He was holding the list (of names) given by Qi ZhiRong. Ifit was previously, he would be the first one to laugh annoyingly at Zhang Qiuwhen he heard the names. But now his mind was full of Qi ZhiRong’s expression oflast night.

He seems somewhat broken-hearted?

Impossible, that man has no heart.

It was not until evening that the cararrived in Chengdu and approached the street of Lin Household’s hotel. It wasvery jam packed at the front. Zhang Qiu looked at his watch and saw that it wasalmost 11 o’clock. It was not the rush hour after work. Moreover, the streetwas not very busy because the Lin Household’s hotel was quiet in the bustle.

Pei Qing went down to take a look and cameback soon. He said, “There was an accident ahead. The traffic police arearranging access.”

Sure enough, after another ten minutes ofwaiting, the traffic slowly moved forward. Pei Qing drove at a very slow speed.Passing through the accident area, they saw a big car had crushed into a smallcar with blood flowed across the ground, and white cloth covered three bodies.

Xiao Jiang leaned over the window and lookedout. Zhang Qiu covered his son’s eyes, only to hear his son said while pointingout, “Big brother Xiao Ling.”

As sson as Zhang YuShui heard Xiao Ling’sname, he opened his eyes and looked out. He saw a familiar figure. Zhang YuShuifrowned. “It’s really Xiao Ling.”

“Xiao Ling did not go to bereincarnated?” Zhang Qiu had personally saw Xiao Ling go to report in theUnderworld.

It was not proper to stop the car here asthe traffic police directed to go forward. Once they arrived at the hotel, assoon as the car parked and without enough time to take out their luggage, theywent straight to the site of the accident. The road had been enclosed, the vehicleshad evacuated, the family members of victims came crying and wailing. Then,they saw two men dressed in formal clothes next to the corpse, holding tabletcomputers in hands which were constantly writing something.

The white-faced man pointed and said,“After you have recorded it, go back. Life and death are ruled by fate.What are you feeling sad about?”

The tall, big man with red eyes said,“Boss Bai, this wife was about to give birth, that’s why I’m sad.”

The two men were talking without regard forothers. The police and the victims’ family members seemed as if they had notseen anybody.

Suddenly the white-faced man raised his headand looked up at them, frowned with downturned lips. In the end, he patted thetall man on the shoulder, pointed to them as he said, “Looking foryou.”

The tall man rubbed his nose, raside hishead to look over and was stunned. Then, he waved happily at them.

Foolish, crybaby, soft-hearted, thick andsolid man of 1.8 something meter.

Certainly Zhang Qiu had an impression. This TMD was precisely Xiao Ling ah. (TMD=curse word)
