Chapter 25: Your Spirit Body is Much More Honest Than You
Xue Yu took a few steps back with Blueberry in her arms. “I’ll be going then. Um… Sis, take your time walking your brother-in-law. I wish him good health.”
Yan Wantang said, “I told you to help me bargain. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I’m not going to do anything to you.”
Xue Yu waved her hands. “I’m not good at bargaining. Besides, I’m not familiar with Feng Qizhou. He wouldn’t listen to me.”
Yan Wantang patted the “Tibetan mastiff’s” head. “Isn’t Feng Qizhou your ex-boyfriend? You’re not familiar?”
Xue Yu righteously denied it:
“Not familiar at all. We were only together for a little over two months. We’re not familiar at all.”
“Besides, a good ex should be as good as dead. And Feng Qizhou, well, he has a sharp tongue. I don’t want to see him, and he definitely doesn’t want to see me. How awkward would that be?”
She kept backing away as she spoke, only wanting to leave quickly, otherwise she was really afraid Yan Wantang’s Tibetan mastiff husband would bite her.
Yan Wantang tilted her head and smiled. “Is it that serious? Even if my husbands and I break up, we still get along very well.”
The seahorse in Xue Yu’s arms flew out. She didn’t pay it any mind and continued to back away, dealing with Yan Wantang.
“A good-for-nothing like me is of course different from a genius like you. My attitude towards exes is, we’ll never see each other again, never meet again!”
Yan Wantang burst out laughing for no reason. She laughed so hard that tears came to her eyes.
Xue Yu was creeped out by her laughter.
Strangely, the fear and nervousness rising in her heart were forcibly suppressed by a strong sense of pleasure. Her heart raced, and her face and earlobes burned. The familiar feeling of light-headedness came on strong.
Sensing that something was wrong, Xue Yu turned her head.
Good grief, it’s Blueberry again!
In the blink of an eye, Blueberry was already inseparable from a fluffy, white, furry thing.
Xue Yu looked closely. The ball of white fluff was a blood-eyed arctic fox—Feng Qizhou’s spirit body!
Feng Qizhou was wearing a white lab coat, the hem of which fluttered in the wind. Even when practicing medicine on the go, he was still flamboyant enough to wear exquisite leather shoes, carrying a large medical kit in his hand.
“Never see each other again? Never meet again? A good ex should be as good as dead?”
Feng Qizhou walked over gracefully and stood in front of Xue Yu. He pointed his chin at the two spirit bodies nuzzling each other. “Xue Yu, your spirit body doesn’t seem to think so.”
Xue Yu’s face was burning, and she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. “Blueberry, good friends don’t do this! Let go of me!”
Yan Wantang, holding the “Tibetan mastiff,” was laughing so hard she was bent over. “A seahorse and an arctic fox actually have eyes for each other! Hahahaha!”
Xue Yu ran over to pull Blueberry out of the arctic fox’s soft embrace, but she saw the two of them with teary eyes, full of affection. Even after being separated by Xue Yu, their bond was hard to break, and they gazed at each other with longing.
It’s over. I’ve become the villain who breaks up a happy couple?
Xue Yu leaned down and said, “Think about Heimei, think about Xiaoxue, think about your child. Have you forgotten them all?”
Blueberry looked at Xue Yu with a determined gaze: I want them all!
Feng Qizhou was in a hurry to operate on Yan Wantang’s boyfriend. He called out, “Cake, come over. Time to work.”
The arctic fox reluctantly nuzzled Blueberry’s face before running to Feng Qizhou.
Xue Yu didn’t dare to make a rash move. She didn’t dare to go back to Zhou Siyan’s side for the time being, afraid of leading Yan Wantang and Feng Qizhou there and letting them discover Xue Xiaohai’s existence. That would be terrible.
She slowly walked over with Blueberry and stood next to Feng Qizhou.
She saw Feng Qizhou lift the dog skin off the “Tibetan mastiff.” Underneath was a thin man. The man’s skin was covered in sores, and some parts had already become bestial, with brown fur growing from his flesh.
Yan Wantang sighed. “He became like this after he was infected. His skin is all rotten. I had no choice but to skin a dog and put it on him. His spirit body is a canine, so the dog skin can delay the deterioration.”
Feng Qizhou asked, “Can his spirit body still be summoned?”
Yan Wantang: “No, his spiritual power is exhausted.”
Feng Qizhou opened his medical kit and put on rubber gloves. “I’ll debride his wounds first. After that, you take him somewhere to recuperate for a month. After a month, find a suitable skin as soon as possible, and I’ll come back to help him with a skin graft.”
Yan Wantang: “Alright, how much will that be?”
Feng Qizhou: “Debridement is 260,000. The skin graft is 700,000. You pay me for the debridement first. You can pay for the skin graft after you find a suitable skin and I perform the surgery.”
Yan Wantang’s voice was loud. “So expensive! Isn’t debridement usually 180,000? Why has it gone up to 260,000?”
Feng Qizhou didn’t look up, his hands steady as he treated the man’s festering skin. He said, “I came by helicopter. Don’t I have to factor in the fuel and lost work time?”
He specifically reminded her, “And Miss Yan, don’t forget, you are now an A-level wanted criminal in the White Tower. If I take you back to the White Tower, I can get a one-million-dollar reward.”
Yan Wantang stomped on the ground. “Damn White Tower, just go extinct already!”
Xue Yu stood to the side, cowering like a quail, her eyes secretly darting back and forth between the two.
These two seemed very familiar. Could Feng Qizhou also be involved in organ trafficking? They’re all villains.
Yan Wantang poked Xue Yu’s forehead with her finger. “Hey, what are you looking at me for? Don’t think of me as a way to get rich. You can’t beat me. The one-million-dollar reward has nothing to do with you.”
Xue Yu rubbed her head. “How would I dare to think of such a blessing?”
She secretly sent a message to Zhou Siyan via the Cloud Sound Box: I’ve run into Feng Qizhou and Yan Wantang. Hide Xue Xiaohai quickly and leave with Mo Li first. I’ll catch up with you later. Don’t worry about me.
Zhou Siyan: I’ll have Mo Li take care of Xue Xiaohai. I’m coming to find you.
Zhou Siyan didn’t give Xue Yu any room to argue. He turned off the Cloud Sound Box and handed the sleeping baby in his arms to Mo Li. “Xue Yu has run into Yan Wantang. Help us watch the baby. I’m going to get her.”
At that moment, he was actually very scared.
This was the first time he had entrusted the baby to anyone other than Xue Yu.
He said, “Mo Li, you are also about to become a father. Xue Xiaohai is also the older sister of the child in your belly. I hope you…”
Mo Li held the baby somewhat unskillfully and interrupted him. “I understand what you mean. I will take good care of her.”
Zhou Siyan: “Thank you.”
***
Feng Qizhou’s debridement surgery was strange. He would leave every ten minutes, saying he needed to get medicine from the helicopter. His helicopter was parked on a flat ground thirty meters away.
He would enter the helicopter, stay for less than ten seconds, and then quickly come down.
After doing this twice, Yan Wantang became impatient. “Can’t you just get all the medicine you need at once?”
Feng Qizhou smiled. “I’ve been working late recently. My memory has gotten worse. Please understand.”
Xue Yu looked at the dark circles under Feng Qizhou’s eyes. They were very familiar. That night when Xue Xiaohai wouldn’t sleep, she, Zhou Siyan, and Mo Li had stayed up all night with the baby, and they had also had panda eyes the next day.
Thinking of this, Xue Yu unconsciously looked at Feng Qizhou’s abdomen. Mo Li got pregnant after a one-night stand. Could Feng Qizhou also…
The more Xue Yu thought about it, the more panicked she became. She quickly shook her head to clear her thoughts.
Impossible. How could he get hit so easily!
Besides, look at the way Feng Qizhou still struts around when he walks. He doesn’t look like he’s pregnant or has given birth at all.
And even if, by some miracle, he was pregnant with her child, a refined egoist like Feng Qizhou would have come to her in a rage, demanding that she pay for the abortion!
Feng Qizhou was very skilled and fast at surgery. It was over in half an hour.
The man lying on the medical surgical drape was clearly much better. He was lying with his eyes closed, not as agitated.
Yan Wantang secretly pushed Xue Yu and mouthed to her, “Bargain!”
How could Xue Yu bargain? Before she transmigrated, she couldn’t even get a word out when buying vegetables at the market. She braced herself and said, “Qizhou, your line of work seems to make money easily.”
Feng Qizhou was packing his medical kit. “What are you trying to say?”
Xue Yu: “I’m just envious. You go out for a job, and with a flick of your wrist, you get a hundred or two hundred thousand.”
Feng Qizhou squinted. “Why does your tone sound so strange?”
Xue Yu: “So, can you give Yan Wantang a discount?”
Feng Qizhou was cold and ruthless. “No.”
In the end, Feng Qizhou didn’t give a discount, and even someone as seemingly perverted as Yan Wantang obediently paid.
Xue Yu stood in place, not daring to move.
Feng Qizhou picked up his medical kit and got on the helicopter. After about a minute, he stuck his head out and shouted, “Want a ride in a helicopter?”
Xue Yu politely declined. “No, thank you. I can’t afford such an expensive thing. I’d rather run.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Blueberry had already boarded the helicopter with the arctic fox.
Feng Qizhou continued to shout, “Blueberry is much more honest than you. Come on up. I’ll take you to Zhou Siyan and chat with you about something.”
Xue Yu first sent a message to Zhou Siyan, informing him of the situation and telling him to hide Xue Xiaohai in the car and not come out.
This was Xue Yu’s first time in a helicopter.
There had been helicopter drills at the military academy before, but her grades were too poor, so she wasn’t qualified to go up. She could only chase birds on the training ground.
Xue Yu sat in the passenger seat and saw a large, soundproof, temperature-controlled glass box in the back.
The surface of the box had been set to be non-visible by Feng Qizhou, so Xue Yu couldn’t see what was inside.
Xue Yu started the conversation:
“I heard that Yan Wantang is involved in organ trafficking. It’s so scary. How did she go astray? She should turn back before it’s too late.”
The implication was, Feng Qizhou, don’t get involved in this. I’m scared.
Feng Qizhou started the helicopter.
This type of helicopter was high-performance. Even when the rotor blades were spinning, you couldn’t hear any sound.
He said calmly, “Organ trafficking has always been a thing in the White Tower. The higher-ups have never cared. Because before, they were only trafficking the organs of the lower-class commoners, so the higher-ups just turned a blind eye.”
“This time, Yan Wantang took the organs of several leaders at once, so the higher-ups ordered a strict investigation into organ trafficking. She probably did it to force the higher-ups to take this matter seriously. As far as I know, she has never trafficked the organs of commoners.”
Xue Yu felt a pang of guilt. She had been narrow-minded.
Feng Qizhou continued, “Yan Wantang is very perverted, but she’s not necessarily a bad person.”
He glanced at Xue Yu. “Just like you. You look like a good-for-nothing, but you might actually have great power. I think one day, you will shock everyone.”
The worst student in the whole school, dead last, knocked up her ex-boyfriend’s belly. Such explosive news.
Xue Yu: “Thank you for your kind words.”
The helicopter landed twenty meters away from the off-road vehicle.
Xue Yu unbuckled her seatbelt but didn’t dare to just run down. She sat and waited for Feng Qizhou to say something.
Feng Qizhou was fiddling with his violet insignia. “Are you going to hijack the plane?”
Xue Yu was embarrassed and sweating. “Then I’ll be going. Thank you for letting this poor girl experience a helicopter ride.”
Feng Qizhou pressed the button to open the cabin door. “I’m doing this to motivate you, to give you more motivation to strive.”
“I will work hard at mining. Thank you!”
After Xue Yu’s insincere shout, she jumped out of the helicopter with Blueberry.
As soon as she left, Feng Qizhou quickly closed the cabin door, moved to the temperature-controlled box in the back, and opened the lid.
The baby’s face was pressed against the glass wall, babbling, with red marks on her face.
He took the baby out and kissed her face. “Are you happy to see Mommy? Poor little thing, do you miss Mommy? Daddy does too.”
The baby desperately craned her neck to look out the cabin window, her round eyes always following Xue Yu’s voice.
Feng Qizhou held the baby for a while longer. “Now that you’ve seen Mommy, you have to be good and go to sleep early tonight, okay? You’ve made your dad old and ugly. What if your mom doesn’t want us anymore?”
The baby had recently taken to sleeping during the day and being fussy at night. When the baby slept during the day, he couldn’t bear to wake her.
At night, when the baby couldn’t sleep and was full of energy, he had to stay with her, and he had lost several jin.
“Alright, Daddy is going to find out if your little sister or brother has been aborted. Be good and wait for Daddy for a while.”
He kissed the baby’s face again and again, then put her back in the temperature-controlled box, adjusting the temperature and oxygen.
He straightened his collar, fixed his hair in the mirror, and then got out of the helicopter.
By the off-road vehicle, Zhou Siyan and Xue Yu were standing opposite each other, their heads lowered, talking about something.
Feng Qizhou walked over gracefully, his eyes on Zhou Siyan’s belly.
Zhou Siyan was no longer wearing the wide trench coat from before, only a black shirt. When the wind blew, the fabric clung to his body, and his abdomen was flat, without any protrusion.
Has he already gotten rid of the child?
Feng Qizhou thought so.
He didn’t think Zhou Siyan would have a baby. Zhou Siyan had climbed to the position of Director of the Security Division just a year after graduation. The process had not been easy. Such a person would not risk having a baby.
It’s good that it’s gone. In the future, no one will compete with his two little babies for their mother’s love.
“Siyan, long time no see. Is Heimei better?” Feng Qizhou walked up to the two of them.
Zhou Siyan: “He’s fully recovered. Thank you.”
A slight noise came from inside the car, as if something was tapping on the window.
Feng Qizhou’s heart tightened. He wanted to confirm what was in the car. Could it be that Zhou Siyan really had the baby?
He strode straight to the side of the car and pressed his eyes against the window to look inside.
Xue Yu rushed over and pulled him. “Feng Qizhou, what are you looking at!”
Feng Qizhou’s face changed slightly. He turned his head. “Why are you so anxious? Is there something in the car that can’t be seen?”
Xue Yu: “Of course not! Just go away, you’re acting crazy!”
Feng Qizhou never considered others when he did things. He put his hand on the car handle and was about to force the door open. He was eager to confirm whether Zhou Siyan had given birth to the child.
“Feng Qizhou, don’t go too far,” Zhou Siyan came over and grabbed his wrist.
At that moment, the car door opened from the inside.
Mo Li sat upright in the car, his sharp gaze fixed on Feng Qizhou. “Dr. Feng, is there something I can help you with?”
Feng Qizhou quickly scanned the inside of the car. He didn’t see any children or any toys. A smile appeared on his lips. “Sorry to bother you. Please forgive me.”
He straightened up, moved a few steps to the side, and resumed his usual arrogant and lazy demeanor, teasingly looking at Xue Yu:
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I said I wanted to join you guys before, but you didn’t agree. Now you’re playing with Mo Li. Do you mind if I join you?”
Xue Yu was extremely embarrassed. “What nonsense are you talking about? We just happened to run into each other on the road.”
Feng Qizhou: “Looking at your car, it seems like you’re coming back from the South Continent. Did you guys go to the South Continent to see a doctor together?”
He had reason to suspect that Mo Li might also be pregnant.
Did the three of them form an abortion squad and go to the South Continent for abortions together?
It pained him a little. The surgeries by those black-market doctors in the South Continent were so expensive. If Zhou Siyan and Mo Li wanted abortions, they should have just come to him. Don’t let the benefits flow to outsiders. And his fees were much cheaper than those in the South Continent.
“Why do you always like to pry into people’s privacy? We really just happened to run into each other,” Xue Yu said.
Feng Qizhou shrugged. “Don’t make me sound so rude. When have I ever liked to pry into people’s privacy?”
“Heimei, come back!” Zhou Siyan’s sharp reprimand interrupted their conversation.
Xue Yu looked over.
Right next to them, Blueberry was spinning and blowing bubbles. The black panther, the octopus, and the arctic fox were all gathered around it.
Xue Yu could almost see pink bubbles in their eyes, like a scene of brain-dead fans chasing their idol.
Blueberry: I can blow bubbles. Aren’t I amazing!
Black panther: Wifey is so amazing. (Tough guy’s eyes sparkling)
Octopus: Amazing, amazing! Wifey is so amazing! (Several tentacles applauding)
Arctic fox: So amazing! My wifey is the best! (Tail wagging into a blur)
Seeing that the four of them were about to get entangled, Xue Yu rushed over and scooped up Blueberry. “My god, you’re enjoying the company of so many men every day!”
Feng Qizhou didn’t know why his usually bloodthirsty and fierce arctic fox would have such a moronic moment. It was really hard to watch. He shouted, “Cake, come here!”
He forcibly brought Cake back to the helicopter.
The cabin door closed, and he picked up the baby from the temperature-controlled box again.
“Poor little thing, your Uncle Zhou and Uncle Mo were probably taken by your old mom for abortions. It’s a good thing Daddy didn’t go to your mom earlier, or you would have been aborted too.”
He lifted the baby and, seizing the opportunity, taught her how to act pitiful.
“Baby, when you meet Mommy in the future, just cry.”
“Grab Mommy’s pant leg and say, ‘Mommy, I’m very good. Please don’t abandon me. My sister and I are both very good. We won’t cause any trouble. Please don’t abandon us.'”
At the same time, Feng Qizhou also skillfully practiced his own lines, holding the baby and putting on a world-weary look:
“Xue Yu, look, our babies are really good. I’ve already taught them well. Please don’t hate them, okay? They’re really good.”
After acting it out once, he hugged the baby and kissed her again and again. “Alright, baby is very good. Mommy will definitely soften when she sees us in the future.”
He was very nervous, afraid that Xue Yu would be disgusted by the children like the people in the White Tower, and also afraid that the children would be a burden to Xue Yu.
He also hoped that on the day of the mother-daughter reunion, Xue Yu would genuinely like and love the children, not be forced to accept responsibility.
