Chapter 33: She Didn’t Want to Be a Good-for-Nothing Anymore
With Xue Yu’s support, Feng Qizhou was eager to try.
He took Xue Yu’s hand and pressed it against his chest. “Feel it. I’ve trained it well. After I’m done feeding the baby, I’ll continue to feed you.”
Xue Yu pinched him hard and pulled her hand back.
Feng Qizhou then asked her about the baby’s name.
Xue Yu had forgotten all about it. Her mind raced. “Let’s call her Xiaobei. I’ll think about a proper name later. I haven’t picked a proper name for Xue Xiaohai either. Give me some more time, and I’ll pick them together.”
“Xiaobei, Xue Xiaobei…” Feng Qizhou stroked his chin in thought. “Why Xiaobei?”
Xue Yu: “Because your spirit body is an arctic fox. It corresponds. I’m keeping you in my heart, that’s why I named her Xiaobei.”
Feng Qizhou raised an eyebrow. “That reason is too perfunctory. It’s not enough to convince me.”
So hard to please.
Xue Yu thought for a moment. “Then let’s call her Goudan. A humble name is easier to raise.”
Feng Qizhou’s face instantly darkened.
Before he could speak, Xue Yu pressed on. “Goudan or Xiaobei, you choose.”
Feng Qizhou had no choice but to say, “Then let’s call her Xiaobei.”
Xue Yu clapped her hands. “Xiaobei is great! Xue Xiaobei. Xue is my surname, and Bei refers to your spirit body. It shows that the child is the fruit of our love!”
“You have a lot of fruits of your love,” Feng Qizhou said sarcastically, but his expression had brightened.
Xue Yu: “Xue Xiaobei is great. When Xiaobao is born in the future, we can just call him Xue Xiaonan. One south, one north. It’s easy to remember.”
Feng Qizhou picked up the baby and held her up to Xue Yu. “Xue Xiaobei, kiss Mommy.”
The baby laughed happily, her bright eyes squinting into a line. She reached out to touch Xue Yu’s face.
Xue Yu kissed both of the baby’s cheeks. “Xue Xiaobei, Mommy loves you.”
She touched the baby’s small hand and suddenly felt a wave of emotion. This little doll was actually her own daughter. It was both wonderful and strange.
Feng Qizhou leaned his face towards her. “Mommy should kiss Daddy too.”
Xue Yu shivered. “Don’t do that. It’s as if something happened between us.”
Feng Qizhou held the baby, his beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with displeasure. “What’s with that look? Did nothing happen between us? Did we not sleep together? Did the child just pop out of a rock? When you peed on me, you didn’t seem so particular.”
“What are you saying in front of the child!”
Feng Qizhou leaned closer, his petal-like lips close to her ear. “I really want to lick you right now. Really, really want to, Xue Yu.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his body trembled violently.
Xue Yu quickly took the baby from his hands. “Serves you right for being so horny. You deserve to be electrocuted.”
Feng Qizhou seemed to be enjoying the pain of being electrocuted. He winked at Xue Yu. “It’s great.”
His lips brushed against Xue Yu’s earlobe. He quickly turned around, took out the injection kit from the desk drawer, took out the libido suppressant, drew up a syringe full, and handed the syringe to Xue Yu. “Help me.”
“Can’t you do it yourself?”
Feng Qizhou: “I want you to help me. Hurry up. Do you want to see me keep getting electrocuted? After all, I gave you a pair of twins. Isn’t that much better than Zhou Siyan?”
Xue Yu placed the baby in the temperature-controlled box to the side.
She held the syringe and stared at the liquid inside. “I don’t know how. Where do I inject it? I’ve never given an injection before.”
Feng Qizhou rolled up his sleeve, revealing his firm forearm. “It’s just a simple subcutaneous injection. Insert the needle at a forty-five-degree angle and push the medicine in.”
Xue Yu was hesitant to try. “Stop playing around. You should do it yourself. My hands tremble easily. What if I cripple you?”
Feng Qizhou sat down in the chair, pulled Xue Yu into his arms, placed one hand over hers, which was holding the needle, and guided her hand in hand.
“Be a little bolder. It’s just an injection. Come on. I like the feeling of you being in control of me.”
He held Xue Yu’s hand, his index finger pressing on her knuckle, guiding her to insert the needle into the skin of his forearm. Then he slowly applied pressure, pushing the plunger with her, and the liquid was slowly injected into the subcutaneous muscle.
The effect of the medicine was extremely fast. The chaotic uproar that had been raging inside him was smoothed over by a soft hand.
The uproar in Feng Qizhou’s body completely quieted down. After all the liquid was injected, he eagerly pulled out the needle and threw the syringe aside.
He pulled Xue Yu and quickly turned her around to face him, holding her waist and burying his face in her warm chest.
Xue Yu saw that the needle hole in his arm was bleeding. She shouted, “It’s bleeding! Don’t move.”
She took a sterile cotton ball from the injection kit and pressed it on the bleeding spot on his arm.
“Xue Yu, I really like this feeling,” Feng Qizhou said, not caring about the bleeding needle hole. His voice was calm, his face buried deep in Xue Yu’s chest.
“What feeling?” Xue Yu really didn’t understand this person.
“It has nothing to do with desire. It’s a very pure, very innocent feeling,” Feng Qizhou said slowly.
After a moment, he looked up. “Do you want a shot too?”
Xue Yu shook her head in refusal. “No, I’m not that fired up.”
Feng Qizhou tickled her waist. “Didn’t you awaken your spirit body? Why don’t you have an estrus period?”
Xue Yu: “Maybe it’s because I’m more civilized. I won’t be controlled by these strange things.”
The child on the side tilted her head to look at them and started babbling.
Xue Yu looked at the dark circles under Feng Qizhou’s eyes, pushed him away, and bent down to look at the child.
“I told you you don’t know how to take care of a child. It’s so late, and Xiaobei is still so energetic. You shouldn’t have let her sleep during the day. Xue Xiaohai used to sleep during the day and be fussy at night too. I fixed her after a few times.”
Feng Qizhou stood up and blinked his dry eyes. “I can’t help it. I have to work during the day. I can’t always play with her. I have to let her sleep, and then I’ll play with her at night.”
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t considerate enough,” Xue Yu turned her head and apologized in a low voice.
Feng Qizhou: “No need to apologize. I was the one who wanted to have the child. I should bear all of this.”
Xue Yu secretly clenched her fists. “I will work hard. When I get promoted, I will work hard to earn money so you don’t have to be so busy.”
Feng Qizhou smiled with satisfaction. “Then you should work hard. I’m waiting to be a kept man.”
She left Feng Qizhou’s clinic.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xue Yu planned to go to Zhou Siyan’s apartment to see Xue Xiaohai before returning to the training grounds dorm.
She first sent a message to Zhou Siyan: “Do you want me to come and see you and the child?”
Zhou Siyan: “Yes.”
Xue Yu ran very fast. When she arrived at Zhou Siyan’s apartment, she didn’t knock but entered the password Zhou Siyan had told her and opened the door herself.
It was almost eleven o’clock now. Xue Xiaohai had a good routine and was already asleep.
The child was not sleeping with Zhou Siyan but was lying in a small crib to the side, hugging her little seahorse. Her round little face puffed in and out with her breathing.
Xue Yu squatted by the side to watch her.
No wonder Feng Qizhou always said that Xue Xiaohai was a big fatty. Compared to Xue Xiaobei, Xue Xiaohai was indeed very sturdy.
Not bloated, but very solid and strong. She looked like a very healthy baby.
Zhou Siyan came out of the shower. Even his bathrobe was very restrained. A silver-black robe was wrapped around his body, the belt tied tightly, revealing his lean and strong waistline. A few strands of wet hair hung on his forehead. His eyes were very dark, so dark they were almost purple.
“What did Feng Qizhou talk to you about?” he asked, walking to the wardrobe and calmly untying his bathrobe, unabashedly searching for pajamas while naked.
Xue Yu averted her gaze. “He just asked me about the baby’s name.”
Zhou Siyan put on his pajamas with his back to her, his voice faint. “Did you pick one?”
Xue Yu felt as if he had a pair of eyes on his back. Even though his back was to her, she nodded like a primary school student.
“I did. Her nickname is Xue Xiaobei. When the other baby is born, we’ll call him Xue Xiaonan.”
“And the proper name?”
“I haven’t picked a proper name yet. It’s very annoying. I haven’t picked a proper name for Xiaohai either. Sigh, picking a name is such a headache.”
Zhou Siyan finished putting on his pajamas and turned around with a razor. “You have to pick a proper name before the baby’s full moon.”
“Right, right. I’m racking my brains thinking about it.”
She thought Zhou Siyan was going to shave and touched her face. “Well, since Xiaohai is asleep, I’ll be going. If I have a chance tomorrow, I’ll come and see her again.”
Zhou Siyan’s gaze shifted downwards. “I’ll take care of the hair on your body.”
“Huh?”
Zhou Siyan then took out a small laser hair removal device. “You need to train for water combat. The hair on your body must be removed. Any little bit of hair will affect your speed underwater.”
“I can do it myself.”
“You won’t get it clean,” Zhou Siyan said, already walking towards the bathroom.
Xue Yu had no choice but to follow with a long face.
In the bathroom, Zhou Siyan was washing his hands. The soap lathered in his hands. He washed very meticulously, taking care of every finger.
After rinsing off the foam, he turned back to look at Xue Yu. “Take off your clothes.”
“Do I really have to shave?” Xue Yu fumbled with the buttons.
Zhou Siyan: “If you don’t want to improve, you don’t have to.”
Xue Yu quickly took off her clothes and threw them on the sink. “Then hurry up. I really want to improve!”
She stood naked in front of Zhou Siyan.
Zhou Siyan took the shower head, wet her skin, first washed her with shower gel, and then applied a layer of professional shaving foam.
This was a procedure that all water-type warriors had to go through. Even the fine hairs on their bodies had to be removed. A smooth body had an advantage in the water.
Zhou Siyan was very meticulous. He went from her upper body to her lower body. Squatting was inconvenient, so he simply knelt on one knee and held Xue Yu’s knee. “Lift your leg.”
“Oh.”
Xue Yu supported herself with one hand on the cold tiles behind her. She could feel the razor repeatedly sliding over her skin. Zhou Siyan’s movements were very light, which made her itchy, but she didn’t dare to move, afraid that the blade would cut her.
She was very afraid of the feeling of a blade against her skin. Before she transmigrated, she had felt like she was going to war just by trimming her eyebrows with an eyebrow razor.
“Are you done yet, Zhou Siyan?” Xue Yu’s legs were sore, and she was having trouble standing.
Before they broke up, Zhou Siyan had also taken care of her hair, but not so meticulously. At that time, it was because her period was too stuffy.
“No. Why don’t you lie down on the sofa?” Zhou Siyan looked up at her.
“No, no. I’ll just stand here.”
Zhou Siyan continued with his work. After taking care of all the hair, he went over her body again with the laser hair removal device.
“I’ve done it a few times before, so there’s basically no hair now. Come back in half a month, and I’ll do it for you again. You probably won’t need it after that.”
Xue Yu fumbled to put on her clothes. “I can do it at the training grounds. I saw that there’s a special hair removal shop next to the water training pool there. It looks very professional.”
Zhou Siyan turned his back to wash his hands. “A hair removal session at that shop costs 32,000.”
Xue Yu gasped. “Then you should do it for me. We can save the money for the child.”
Zhou Siyan: “Okay.”
Xue Yu finished putting on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom with uncoordinated limbs. She sat on the sofa outside for a few minutes.
When Zhou Siyan came out, she stood up and said, “Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going. Thank you so much. You’re so sentimental. I don’t even know how to thank you.”
Zhou Siyan: “You’re welcome.”
Perhaps the hair removal technology in the White Tower was too advanced. Xue Yu felt like her body was slipping as she walked, and her clothes felt like they were about to fall off at any moment. She turned and walked a few steps. “Then I’ll be going. I will train hard and earn money to raise the child in the future.”
Zhou Siyan watched her walk towards the bedroom with a calm expression and reminded her, “The main door is this way.”
“Oh, look at my brain.”
Xue Yu turned around with uncoordinated limbs and quickened her pace.
Zhou Siyan: “You’re walking with your arms and legs on the same side.”
Xue Yu giggled. “It’s fine. I like to walk like this. It’s more comfortable.”
She left Zhou Siyan’s apartment, ran into the elevator, and pressed the button for the 1st floor. The elevator descended rapidly.
When she returned to the dormitory building at the training grounds, the people of the White Tower had a very regular routine. Most of them were already asleep, and it was quiet all around.
Xue Yu returned to her dorm and sent messages to Zhou Siyan, Feng Qizhou, and Mo Li to let them know she was back.
She was used to letting her friends know she was safe, but the people of the White Tower didn’t seem to have this habit. Every time she reported her safety, the three of them would reply, but they rarely sent her similar messages.
Xue Yu was not a picky sleeper and could sleep soundly anywhere.
She had a comfortable night’s sleep.
The next day, she woke up before dawn. She had to hurry to the pool to train before everyone else got up.
Once there were more people, Blueberry would cause trouble, and she would be too embarrassed to go into the water.
When she arrived at the poolside, she changed into the water-type training suit Mo Li had given her.
The water-type training suit was similar to a wetsuit on Earth, very form-fitting. The material and design were much more advanced than those on Earth.
She and Mo Li were not the same size, but the training suit could still automatically adjust to the wearer’s body.
After putting on the wetsuit and getting into the water, her body felt much lighter.
Xue Yu summoned Blueberry and followed the training route, first through the ridges and trenches, and then into the whirlpools. After going through five whirlpools, she couldn’t hold on any longer and swam to the shore.
People were gradually arriving at the pool. Xue Yu picked up Blueberry and moved to a corner.
She saw a scoreboard on the screen wall not far away. It was the individual scoreboard for combat training in the White Tower for the past five years.
The first place on the list was Yan Wantang, with over 10,000 points.
The second place was Zhou Siyan, with exactly 9999 points.
She looked for a while and saw that Mo Li was in eighth place. Feng Qizhou’s ranking was much lower, in the thirties.
The screen was a touchscreen and could be freely scrolled.
Xue Yu wanted to see her own score. The military academy students in the White Tower for the past five years all had score records here.
She had also participated in combat training a few times at the military academy. Although she was last every time, she should still have some points.
She flipped through several pages, and her hands were sore.
The silver-haired man from yesterday walked over again. “Are you looking for your own ranking?”
Xue Yu straightened up. “No, I’m just looking around.”
The silver-haired man tapped on the screen and changed the sorting order to descending. Xue Yu’s ranking immediately appeared—zero points, dead last.
Xue Yu laughed awkwardly. “Hahaha, it’s zero! I guessed it!”
The man extended his hand to her. “My name is Youke’en. We met yesterday. My spirit body is that orca. It really likes your Blueberry. You have to accumulate points slowly. Do you want to have a match with me? You’ll get points whether you win or lose.”
“Just a friendly match?” Xue Yu said cautiously.
Youke’en: “Yes, just a friendly match.”
The two entered the water.
Xue Yu chose a water-wave knife, a very thin iron blade that could condense water into a heavy sword in the water.
She held the water-wave knife, her movements somewhat clumsy.
After she went to the mines after graduation, she had never touched these weapons again.
Youke’en was very confident and didn’t choose any weapon.
The two of them fought in the shallow water. Xue Yu rushed over with the water-wave knife, but Youke’en easily deflected her attack.
Youke’en went behind her, pinched the back of her neck with his fingers, and forcefully invaded her spiritual landscape.
Xue Yu’s mind went blank.
She hadn’t expected Youke’en to invade her spiritual landscape without a word. She was very worried that he would see the reproduction tree in her landscape.
However, Youke’en quickly withdrew from her spiritual landscape without attacking her spiritual domain.
It was just a short trial, but many people had gathered on the shore to watch.
“Xue Yu, it’s really Xue Yu!”
“Is this the legendary number one good-for-nothing in the White Tower?”
“Xue Yu, if you beat Youke’en, I’ll be your dog from now on!”
“Go, Xue Yu! Show us a comeback!”
Most of the people were just here for the fun. Xue Yu’s face turned red with embarrassment.
Youke’en asked again, “Want to go again?”
Xue Yu didn’t reply but asked Blueberry in her mind: How much spiritual power do I have left?
Blueberry: Wow, a lot! Xue Xiaohai is so amazing. She’s been crawling all morning. You’ve already accumulated 230 points of spiritual power.
Xue Yu had too little combat experience and didn’t know how powerful 230 points of spiritual power was.
She didn’t want to be a good-for-nothing anymore and decided to give it her all.
She gripped the water-wave knife and said to Blueberry, “Fill me up.”
Blueberry: Are you sure you want to fill up?
Xue Yu: Fill me up, thank you.
Blueberry: You’re such a show-off.
Blueberry swam a circle in the spiritual landscape and applied all 230 points of spiritual power to Xue Yu’s physical fitness. This spiritual power quickly took effect on the master’s strength, reflexes, stamina, and speed.
The spiritual landscape immediately showed the data:
Strength upgraded to B-level!
Reflexes upgraded to A-level!
Stamina upgraded to A+!
Speed upgraded to B-level!
…
Xue Yu felt a surge of power push through her body. She said to Youke’en, “Let’s go again.”
Youke’en smiled. “Are you sure? I hope your spiritual landscape can withstand my second invasion.”
