The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 471 - 469: Dreamt of the Baby

Chapter 471: Chapter 469: Dreamt of the Baby

Seeing her bring up the matter of her birth, Qin Zhao couldn’t help but be curious, "was my father from around Kunlun Mountain?"

Kunlun Mountain’s vicinity was scattered with many small towns, and there were many local residents in these towns.

"Sort of."

Qin Wan answered vaguely and switched the topic.

She didn’t intend to elaborate further, so Qin Zhao didn’t press on.

Previously, Qin Wan had mentioned that her father had passed away.

Giving Qin Zhao away for adoption as a child had been a decision made out of necessity.

"I want to go for a hike in the mountains."

Qin Wan changed into mountaineering attire and also brought a trekking pole.

She had arrived here in the early morning, and now, if she went hiking, she might be able to see the sunset later.

"I’ll go with you."

"No need, I’ll go by myself."

Qin Wan declined her offer and added, "I will take the scenic trail, which isn’t dangerous. After reaching the summit, I can take the cable car back down.

There are many memories for me here, I’d rather go alone."

"All right then, just be careful."

Qin Zhao yawned.

Picking up Qin Wan from the airport and taking her to the hotel had made her quite sleepy.

These past few days, she didn’t know why, but she always felt like sleeping and had no appetite whatsoever.

"I want to nap this afternoon, so I won’t go out."

Seeing her looking so sleepy, Qin Wan couldn’t help but worry.

"You look very tired. What have you been doing these past days? Didn’t you come here to relax?"

"Of course not, your daughter has serious business to handle."

"Then you should rest as soon as possible."

Upon returning to her own room from Qin Wan’s, Qin Zhao fell asleep as her head hit the pillow.

She hadn’t been asleep long before she had a strange dream.

Qin Zhao walked down a path and gradually noticed a large, white egg in the middle of the road.

She stopped and stared at this egg for a long time.

It was unclear how much time had passed when the eggshell began to slowly crack, and out crawled a milky little green snake, which nuzzled her fingers with its tiny head.

Qin Zhao wanted to talk to the little snake, but both the snake and the road vanished abruptly.

By the time she came to her senses, she found herself at Shenyu Entertainment.

At that moment, Qin Zhao was somewhat unable to distinguish between dreams and reality.

Standing there, she didn’t know why she had come to the company.

"Zhaozhao."

She faintly heard Su Xiaotong calling her and headed toward her office.

After a few steps, Qin Zhao turned her head and saw a child suddenly dart into the break room.

She continued walking forward, and the child came out again, secretly following her.

"Why are you following me?"

Qin Zhao turned around and caught the child in the act of sneakily peering at her.

The child was a little boy dressed in somewhat ragged, coarse clothing, like a little slave from a landlord’s family, but he was as pretty as a porcelain doll with rosy lips and white teeth.

Hearing Qin Zhao speak, he slid along the adjacent wall and hid a little inside.

After a while, he peeked his little head out to look at her.

For some reason, Qin Zhao found him adorable and walked over to him.

"Little boy, why are you following me?"

She asked again.

The boy’s cheeks flushed a rosy pink, and he bashfully lowered his little head, asking in a very soft voice, "Can’t I follow you?"

"Of course, you can."

He lifted his head, his eyes bright and glistening as he looked at Qin Zhao.

Tentatively, he walked a few steps toward her.

Qin Zhao reached out to him, and he extended his own little hand.

"Can you be my mom?"

The boy softly asked her, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Sure, later I’ll take you home."

As soon as she responded, Qin Zhao found the environment around her change again, shrouded in white mist.

Only the little boy remained by her side.

His face wore a serious expression as he told her, "Then wait for me to come to you, okay?"

The child was missing, and Qin Zhao suddenly awoke.

The room was dim, as she had slept from afternoon to night.

"So it was a dream."

Qin Zhao muttered to herself and turned over to continue sleeping.

Qin Wan climbed to the top of one of the mountains following a trail in the scenic area.

Years ago, she had watched a sunset there with someone else.

It had been a long time since she last visited Kunlun Mountain, and she dared not recall past events.

"Sorry, the cable car is broken today."

She had intended to take the cable car down but was stopped.

Seeing the maintenance crew working, Qin Wan could only turn around and leave.

The mountain trails in the scenic area not only had railings but were also equipped with street lights.

This was a place specifically for tourists to walk, so it was relatively safe.

Qin Wan planned to walk back down the same way she had come.

She thought there would be no danger, but halfway through, she saw a dark figure blocking the path.

Qin Wan paused, afraid to move forward.

She held a flashlight in her hand, shining it on the dark figure. Irritated by the light, the figure lifted its head.

Green eyes met Qin Wan’s gaze directly.

It was at this moment that Qin Wan finally saw clearly that it was a wolf!

Qin Wan’s face went pale with fright, standing frozen in place.

She was terrified that any small movement would cause the wolf to pounce on her.

Slowly, cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

Earlier, at the mountaintop, she had been reminiscing about many things and had stayed for quite a while.

If she had known earlier that the cable car was broken, she would have chosen to descend sooner.

Please don’t come over, please don’t come over...

Qin Wan held her breath, slowly stepping backward.

She decided to return to the mountaintop and not to descend for the time being.

There were tents on the mountain for the temporary use of the staff, which she could presumptuously ask to stay in.

Step by step, Qin Wan moved back as the wolf watched her intently, gradually standing upright on its legs.

"Roar, roar..."

It let out a low growl, and saliva continually dripped from its sharp teeth.

Qin Wan was so frightened she almost fainted but had to maintain her composure.

If she ran away now, the wolf would surely lunge at her.

But if she didn’t run, the wolf might still come to bite her later.

She was caught in a true dilemma.

Goosebumps covered her entire body.

"Ah! Don’t come any closer!"

Suddenly, the wolf lunged forward, rushing towards her.

In almost an instant, the green eyes were right in front of her, accompanied by a foul smell.

"Help me!"

A desperate scream echoed through the mountains.

"Thud."

The sound of a sharp knife piercing flesh.

Qin Wan collapsed on the ground, with the wolf on top of her, her shoulder covered with scratches.

She thought she was surely going to die, that the wolf would definitely eat her, but blood splashed over her face, and the wolf on top of her was dead.

Next to her, another figure had appeared.

"Are you alright?"

The person bent down and tossed the dead wolf aside.

Qin Wan lay on the ground, gasping for air, overwhelmed by fear.

"Thank you! I’m so grateful!"

She excitedly grabbed the hand of the person, only then realizing it was a girl.

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have known what to do!"

"It’s okay, I’ll escort you down the mountain."

The girl wore the clothing of an ethnic minority, with delicate features, just having some traces of blood on her.

She helped the weak Qin Wan to her feet.

As the two headed down the mountain, the unnerved Qin Wan didn’t notice the dead wolf on the ground as its body instantly turned into rotting bones and something seemed to be writhing on it.
