I Woke Up Pregnant With An Undead's Child

Chapter 48: Xiezhi [4]

I Have A Bold Guess

Between half awake, his ears still heard burst after burst of roar. It was the unicorn that was angry.

Zhang Qiu subconsciously held Xiao Jiang in his arms tightly. The roar ceased, and followed by the thump of footsteps. The overturned car shook; the other side stopped pacing, and put the thick and solid sharp claws on the roof of the car. Zhang Qiu only heard a noise that scratched the eardrums and not a few moments later, the dismantled parts of the car were thrown around.

The unicorn stood high and stared inside the car through the empty frame. Zhang Qiu’s line of sight hit right at its direction. He could not help holding Xiao Jiang tighter.

Suddenly, the other side turned back and looked somewhere, then turned to run away.

Zhang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. Beside him, Senior Brother was covered in blood and did not respond to several of his calls. He held Xiao Jiang tightly in one hand and turned slowly in the narrow space. He remembered that the mobile phone was in his pocket, but he could not reach it.

Suddenly a beam of light came up in front of them. The car was fast and braked sharply to the side of their car.

Zhang Qiu was frightened. Was that the white-eyed zongzi came back again?

“Song Bao.”

It was Li Shu. The next second, Li Shu’s face appeared in front of him. Just now, Zhang Qiu was strong enough to resist, but when he saw Li Shu that second, he no longer could keep his head tilted and fainted with a peace of mind.

When Zhang Qiu woke up again, he was in the hospital. His head ached badly. He reached out and felt it. It was already wrapped up. His nose smelled the unique odor of disinfection water in the hospital. Xiao Jiang lay down beside his hand with his buttocks stuck up, and his face was pointing in his direction. When he heard the sound of activity, he was like a puppy suddenly woke up and looked at Zhang Qiu with red eyes.

“Daddy.”

Xiao Jiang’s voice was soft and carried eagerness. With red eyes, he looked pitiful. All at once, Zhang Qiu couldn’t attend to his painful head. He stroked his son’s cheek and said, “Daddy’s fine. It’s all right.”

When Zhang Qiu thought that his son was about to cry, he was stunned to see someone, and choked back his tears. From behind, a pair of big hands held Xiao Jiang and thrown him on the couch at the side. Zhang Qiu saw Li Shu and muttered, “You be gentle, he’s also in the car. Don’t hurt him.”

“He’s all right.” Li Shu pressed Zhang Qiu back, who was about to get up, looking very domineering. But Zhang Qiu knew that Li Shu’s strength was very gentle. When he saw Li Shu’s cold face, Zhang Qiu lay back consciously and obediently. Across his face was written clever child who did what he was told.

Suddenly he remembered something. He grabbed Li Shu’s arm and asked, “What about Senior Brother and the others?”

“Don’t worry, they’re all right.” Li Shu held a water cup and fed it to Zhang Qiu’s mouth. “Of all the people in the car, only you are the most injured.”

“Cough cough!” Zhang Qiu almost choked to death, refuting, “How could it be?! I was still conscious anyhow.” Seeing Li Shu angry, he quickly said, “Don’t argue about it. Anyway, it’s good that everyone is fine.”

Li Shu’s face was still very cold, with a spiteful air on his body, but his hands were very gentle. He wiped the water under Zhang Qiu’s collar, put the water cup away, and calmly finished all this. But Zhang Qiu just felt that Li Shu was really angry.

“I’m all right.” Zhang Qiu felt that his head only hurt a little on the outside and nothing else. He took Li Shu’s hand and pointed to the apples on the table with a smile. “I’m hungry, eat.”

Li Shu looked at the ungrateful Zhang Qiu. Suddenly, he felt his head ached, but he took the apple in his hand and slowly peeled it.

Zhang Qiu seemed a great uncle sitting on the bed, staring at Li Shu with utmost concentration. His family’s Xiao Shushu’s hands were really beautiful, and his manner of apple peeling was particularly gentle, but then these were all his hahaha.

The red and thin apple’s skin went round and round. With Li Shu’s slender and white fingers, it was very pleasant to see. When Li Shu was cutting, Zhang Qiu reached for one end and pulled it gently. All the circular strips were spread apart, revealing the flesh inside.

Zhang Qiu was actually not very hungry; he just wanted to make Li Shu stop being angry, but now looking at the flesh, he swallowed saliva.

Li Shu cut the apple into pieces and put them on the plate. Zhang Qiu imposed the joy of eating the apples and stuffed a piece into Li Shu’s mouth. “You don’t be angry. Anyway, I didn’t have anything big happened to me.” Lifting his eyes, he saw Little Jiangshi sitting cross-legged on the opposite sofa, sulking. He waved over, “Come and eat the apple.”

Little Jiangshi looked up and lowered his head.

Zhang Qiu said to Li Shu, “What’s wrong with our son?”

“Sulking, he didn’t protect you well.”

Zhang Qiu’s heart ached terribly. He wanted to rush down and hold Xiao Jiang and knead him for a bout. “Daddy is and adult now, have to protect Xiao Jiang first. When Xiao Jiang grows up, you can protect Daddy.”

After a few seconds, Little Jiangshi raised his head and showed his tiger’s teeth, like a sharp weapon.

“I can also protect Daddy now.”

At first Zhang Qiu wanted to cajole him, but when he saw Xiao Jiang’s firmness and seriousness in his eyes, he put away his grinning expression and nodded with great seriousness, “Then afterwards, all will be thanks to Xiao Jiang.”

Only then that Xiao Jiang felt satisfactorily and came to eat the apple.

After a while, Pixian Hui Wang came, followed behind by Pei Qing and Ling Dang. When Ling Dang saw Zhang Qiu was alright, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Among these people, besides Pei Qing, Ling Dang’s closest friend was Zhang Qiu, probably related to the first time he was sucked into the spirit bead. He had stayed in the tomb for thousands of years, and the first person he saw was Zhang Qiu.

“What the hell is going on?” Pei Qing asked.

Zhang Qiu recounted about the party last night. “....returning home, we got into a car accident. The other was a gray-eyed zongzi, without pupils, and dressed in formal clothes. It wanted to attack Xiao Jiang, and then came a unicorn like a cow. I didn’t see what was going on; the gray-eyed zongzi was beaten up and ran away. The unicorn then stood beside our car and stared at me. After that, it turned around and ran away. Then you guys arrived.”

“You say you’re all sleepy?” Pixian Hui Wang frowned. “Forget about ordinary people, even Xiao Jiang was asleep. Something’s wrong.”

Li Shu next to him suddenly opened his mouth, “The unicorn you mentioned should be Xiezhi, the ancient mythical animal —just and brave.”

The Phoenix, ancient mythical animal Xiezhi, Pei Qing’s bloodline and everything of yesterday were not coincidental at all. Zhang Qiu looked at Li Shu and said, “What happened when tailed after Su’s father and son yesterday?”

“We lost them.” Li Shu said lightly. Zhang Qiu just wanted to say ’people are lost but you are still so calm’ but then he saw Li Shu pulled out a small green bug from his bosom, he immediately thought of Xiangxi’s Phoenix Tomb. In Shandong Province, Li Shu also used this to track Jin LaoDa.

He’d heard Li Shu say that this kind of insect needs a specific feeding environment. The last one had gone, how come he still got another?

“Found it on Su Zhicai’s body.” Li Shu pressed the bug to death. Zhang Qiu stared at it with big eyes. Unexpectedly, the inside was a dense green spots of larvae eggs. In less than a minute, all the puerile green spots turned into black spots, as if they were dead and thoroughly dried.

Pixian Hui Wang saw it and sneered, “This Su Zhicai is not human indeed.”

Pei Qing didn’t know this kind of green bug. He was curious and moved forward but was pulled back by Ling Dang. Zhang Qiu saw that Ling Dang was afraid of them and asked, “Do you know anything?”

Ling Dang shook his head and nodded afterwards. Zhang Qiu could not understand it. Pei Qing encouraged him, “If you have anything, just say it. It’s all right.” Little Ling Dang then said, “I don’t remember. I don’t know whether I saw this after or before death. I saw a man bitten by these things and soon became a mummified corpse. Your Ma—Big brother, don’t get too close to it.”

Pei Qing smiled and touched Ling Dang’s face. “Okay Ling Dang, I’ll listen to you.”

Ling Dang no longer talked with his head down. His Majesty had changed so much —not as dull as he used to be. But when he thought of the present Pei Qing, he asked himself if he would exchange the previous Majesty. He didn’t think about it and chose the present Pei Qing.

Big brother was very kind to him. In order to make him a man, he made him study every night. Just —just that he was a little shy. He was too stupid to learn well and could not transform.

Zhang Qiu’s mind was full of ’Su Zhicai was not human’. He had not seen Ling Dang and Pei Qing’s flirting at all. This green bug would only stay on the corpse before it could reproduce crazily. Li Shu could manipulate it because of Li Shu’s identity as a big zongzi, if it was taken from Su Zhicai——

Zhang Qiu could not help but think of Na Wu. If Na Wu died three years ago, would they be guided by these insects in Na Wu’s skin, and who was manipulating behind them?

“Don’t worry. Someone is unable to bear it.” Li Shu coldly said.

Zhang Qiu heard Li Shu’s words and went through the pits in his head. He could not help thinking of Gu Mu Country. It was totally an accident, and everything started because Li Shu was revived.

The unexpected resurgence of Li Shu might have disrupted the position of the people behind the scene, pressing them step by step. Although they were in the clear, the people behind the scene could not get any benefit, and might have been in disorder themselves; and as such, they need to snatch Xiao Jiang in the big incident yesterday.

When Ling Dang saw that they were all serious about discussing things, he raised his hand and said timidly, “Actually, I can help you to monitor Su’s father and son.”

“No, it’s too dangerous.” Pei Qing took the lead in refuting. Although Ling Dang was a ghost, but his skill of austere practice were all those few tricks. He was not at ease to let Ling Dang go out alone.

Li Shu looked at Pei Qing, and Pei Qing felt hairy being looked at. He listened to Li Shu said: “Watching the Su’s father and son is better than watching you. You have an ancient heritage, and now there is a Xiezhi. If the Su’s father and son really have a relationship with the people behind the scene, they will come to you on their own initiative.”

Zhang Qiu and the rest heard and thought it was true. They had guessed what this God Vein that the people behind needed to gather together.

“You’ve to be careful.” Li Shu stared at Pei Qing and said that.

Pei Qing nodded. Little Ling Dang was nervous. Pei Qing was very happy to see little Ling Dang with a worried and concerned look on his face. After that, he hurried back with little Ling Dang.

Zhang Qiu’s injuries were worse than the others, but with the help of Li Shu’s blood, he went back after a day of recuperation.

When they reached the mountain, Zhang Qiu heard a quarrel from far away. He should say it was one-sided argument; the other side kept silent and Zhang Qiu only heard the angry voice of a woman.

“What the hell are you doing? What did you promise me before the cocktail party? At the front, Zhang Dao and I trying to seek contact but when I turned my head, you’re gone. Did you even want to go into the movie circle?!” The other side was very angry, “You usually talk nonsense and disliking people, I cared but you aren’t?! Yes, you have many fans, but there are also many black fans. People ridicule that you are just a pretty face, and you also being meticulous about it. Somehow or other, you beat them back in the face with the Compel Award!”

“...”

“Are you mute? I talked for half a day did you even listened?”

“It’s the award adorned compel hit people on their faces, I got it.” A lazy voice said.

Zhang Qiu knew it was Qi Xi as soon as he heard it. He thought Qi Xi was very popular. He was unexpectedly trained as well as his grandson.

The woman snorted and her attitude tuned amiable when she heard Qi Xi said that, “Consider that you’re lucky bastard. Obviously you’re extraordinarily lazy. However, you’re not going to be lucky all the way. At the party, Zhang Dao took a fancy to you. In the afternoon, come to the audition with me. What are you doing being stunned, wearing a pair of sunglasses in the morning ——you! You! Where did you fool around? Why are your eyes swollen? No, are you fighting again? I’ll forget about it if you’re simply furious, but what Desert Falcon shoots with this conduct and morality....”

“Sister Ping, don’t talk endlessly without getting to the point in my ears. I promise I’ll be all right in the afternoon.” Qi Xi stood up and turned to go back. “Don’t worry, any Zhang Dao or Desert Falcon, we’ll have all.”

The woman named Sister Ping followed and was still talking, but it could also be heard that she really cared about Qi Xi.

“I won’t talk about your fighting all day long. Usually it’s minor injuries. Why is it so serious this time? If you can’t bear, go to the hospital.” She switched the conversation to some other subject, “The movie is going to be shooting deep into the desert of Xinjiang. Even if you are usually lazy, but this time you can’t drop the ball. Investors are more generous. I heard that at the last moment, a boss surnamed Su added 50 million yuan to it.”

She was confident about Qi Xi, as if he would certainly pass the audition.

Zhang Qiu saw the people go away and looked at Li Shu. “I have a bold guess...”

Translator: I’m sorry, I really don’t understand the conversation between Qi Xi and Sister Ping. Especially Sister Ping one-sided argument.
