Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Pregnancy

Da Bai lay there, as limp as a paper tiger.

Gu Qingli’s nose tingled, and she stepped forward to gently stroke it.

The blood flowing from its body had dyed its snow-white fur a startling, dazzling crimson.

"Da Bai, are you a fool?!"

Gu Qingli was heartbroken. Da Bai’s condition was far more severe than Wuqing’s.

She really wanted to poke its forehead and scold it. You’re just an ordinary tiger, yet you actually thought you were a flying tiger, daring to jump from such a height!

Everyone looked at Da Bai. It’s often said that beasts are heartless, but their Da Bai clearly possessed deep feelings. Such affection transcended species, compelling admiration.

Gu Qingli carefully brought it into her Space, taking everyone else in with her.

It was Yun No. 18 and Yun No. 20’s first time entering their Lady’s Space. Although curious, they didn’t look around. Instead, they helped Gu Qingli treat Da Bai.

Gu Qingli hooked up an IV for both the man and the tiger. Once their vital signs gradually strengthened, she began surgery on them. Wuyou acted as her primary assistant, while Wushuang also lent a hand. Wuxin kept an eye on both patients. Yun No. 18 and Yun No. 20 ran errands.

Nearly ten hours passed before Gu Qingli finally completed the surgeries.

Afterward, she was so exhausted that she slumped into a chair.

"Miss, come, drink some water first." Wushuang poured her a glass, looking at her with concern, wanting to help but not knowing how.

Gu Qingli took the cup and sipped the water.

"Miss, may I help you get some rest? Wuyou is here to watch over things," Wushuang asked, taking the cup and setting it aside.

"Alright, I am truly exhausted," Gu Qingli nodded.

Just as Gu Qingli stood up, her vision suddenly blackened, and her body swayed before she fainted.

"Miss!" Wushuang cried out, her face paling in alarm.

"Wuyou, come quickly!" Wushuang shouted, hurriedly lifting Gu Qingli and rushing towards her bedroom.

Wuyou was still cleaning the grime off Wuqing when she heard the shout. Dropping what she was doing, she rushed over.

"Wushuang, what happened to Miss?" Wuyou reached the bedside, grasping Gu Qingli’s right hand to check her pulse.

Wushuang stammered in panic, "I-I don’t know! Miss just stood up and suddenly fainted! It scared me to death!"

"Hush, Wushuang, lower your voice," Wuyou whispered, unable to hide her joy. "Miss is fine. She’s... she’s pregnant!"

"Really?" Wushuang wiped the tears from her eyes, which now sparkled brightly as she leaned in closer to ask.

"Why would I lie to you? Hurry and make some soup for Miss. Oh, and I’ll prescribe some herbs to stabilize the pregnancy. Brew them for Miss to drink, and have Wuxin watch over her," Wuyou said quickly; she still had to tend to Wuqing.

Wushuang nodded and hurried out, her heart soaring with joy.

They were going to have a young master or mistress!

「Yanshan City.」

Xiao Yunjing awoke to find himself in his own tent. He turned to get up but accidentally jarred his injured leg, letting out a muffled grunt.

At that moment, the tent flap was lifted, and Xi Chenqing entered, carrying a bowl of steaming soup.

"Yunjing, you’re awake! Lie down quickly, your leg hasn’t healed yet," Xi Chenqing hurriedly put down the bowl and rushed over to help Xiao Yunjing lie back down.

Xiao Yunjing’s head was still foggy. He closed his eyes, then opened them again. Why was it Xi Chenqing? Where was Li’er? He looked around the tent but didn’t see her.

"Yun No. 6."

Immediately, a figure appeared in the tent. Yun No. 6 knelt. "Master."

"Where is the Lady?" Xiao Yunjing asked, turning his head.

"Th-this... Master, the Lady... she..." Yun No. 6 stammered, hesitating. Should he tell the Master that the Lady’s whereabouts were unknown?

"Yunjing, Elder Sister... she—" Xi Chenqing hurriedly interjected.

"I wasn’t asking you. I’m asking Yun No. 6. Get out," Xiao Yunjing coldly cut her off.

"Yunjing, how can you treat me like this? I was the one who helped you all neutralize the poison and brought you out!" Xi Chenqing felt deeply wronged. Her lips trembled, and tears streamed down her cheeks. After bringing these people out, none of them paid her any mind. They used her and then cast her aside! She was furious! If this were back in her clan, she’d have poisoned these people so badly their own mothers wouldn’t recognize them! But, remembering Yunjing would be displeased if he woke up to a scene, she suppressed her anger.

"So what? Wasn’t it your people who poisoned us in the first place?" Xiao Yunjing said coldly, without even raising an eyelid. He found this Xi Chenqing utterly repulsive. He despised those who played the innocent victim after clearly being the aggressor.

"That’s because you trespassed into the territory of our Baiyue Clan!"

"Hah! Ridiculous. That land belongs to me, this General. Yours? Get out!" Xiao Yunjing’s anger flared, and he roared. Their Baiyue Clan? Hmph! If he, Xiao Yunjing, didn’t flatten that place, could he still call himself Xiao Yunjing? In both his past and present lives, he’d never been a man of good temper. Anyone who dared to provoke him would find him digging up their ancestral graves.

Xi Chenqing flinched. She shot a venomous glare at Xiao Yunjing, who lay on the bed emanating a chilling aura. She regretted it terribly! She should have used a cursed insect on him again much earlier! This damnable Xiao Yunjing was always testing her limits! Initially, she hadn’t wanted to use cursed insects to control him; she had genuinely wanted him to fall for her. She had been wrong. She wasn’t a soft-hearted woman to begin with; she was someone who would stop at nothing to get the man she desired. She should never have been merciful. She was someone who would even dare to kill her own master; what was one man? If she couldn’t have him, she would simply destroy him.

A smirk touched Xi Chenqing’s lips, her eyes turning cold and sinister. With a light flick of her fingers, she turned, lifted her chin, and strode proudly out of the tent.

Hmph! I’ll let you suffer a bit first. Cursed insects couldn’t be carried around casually, so she could only drug him for now.

HEH HEH...

I hope you enjoy it.

As soon as Xi Chenqing left, Xiao Yunjing looked at Yun No. 6, who was still on the floor. "Speak. What happened to the Lady?"

Yun No. 6 stammered, "Master, w-we don’t know where the Lady went either. When we woke up, we were in that forest. Only that Xi Chenqing was with us; the Lady was gone. Master, don’t worry, Wuqing and the others stayed behind to look for her."

BANG!

As Yun No. 6 finished speaking, Xiao Yunjing’s fist smashed into the bedboard.

CRASH!

The bed collapsed under the force of his blow.

"Master!" Yun No. 6 sprang up, quickly helped Xiao Yunjing to his feet, and called the soldiers guarding outside to rebuild the bed. Fortunately, the beds in the military camp were all constructed from simple wooden planks.

At that moment, a soldier rushed in to report, "Reporting, General! Someone outside the camp requests an audience."

"Bring them in," Xiao Yunjing said in a heavy voice.

"Yes, sir." The soldier responded and then left.

"Master, your skin is burning hot! Do you have a fever?" Yun No. 6 exclaimed as he helped Xiao Yunjing lie back down, his hand accidentally brushing against Xiao Yunjing’s.

"It’s nothing. You are dismissed." Xiao Yunjing, too, felt something was wrong. His entire body was hot and restless, and an intense craving surged within him. A craving for Li’er’s delicate, soft body.

"Damn it!"

If Xiao Yunjing still didn’t realize what that venomous woman, Xi Chenqing, had drugged him with, then he truly was as stupid as a pig.

He quickly sat up and found his satchel—the very one he hadn’t let go of even while unconscious.
