Chapter 141: Everyone Else Gets One Dragon Egg, She Has Five Cubs, And Two Are About To Die
Sui Xuan Chu’s eyes were about to pop out. Not only had he witnessed his uncle’s proposal, he had also witnessed his uncle’s confession.
[Oh my heavens, oh my heavens. Shut your mouth, do not make a sound, do not cheer, do not howl.]
Jiang Tea Tea had only casually asked, and she never thought she would get this answer. She gave a dry laugh: “Thank you for liking me. I am so good-looking and my supernatural abilities are so strong that even I like myself.”
Whether he liked her or not was his business. It had nothing to do with her.
In any case, she was never going to register marriage with him.
Chong Ming’s golden eyes blinked. He no longer stared straight at Jiang Tea Tea: “Think about my suggestion.”
Jiang Tea Tea bared eight teeth in a dazzling smile and refused cleanly and thoroughly: “No need to think. Thank you for liking me. Let me give you a suggestion in return. Do not like me. There will not be a good ending.”
Chong Ming looked at her smile: “Is that so?”
Jiang Tea Tea answered firmly: “Of course.”
Front-row melon-eater Sui Xuan Chu: “…”
[Hero. Sister Tea is a true hero.]
She had refused his uncle’s proposal and refused his uncle’s confession.
If this got out, just the spit from the people of the Zhenlin Empire would be enough to drown her thousands and thousands of times over.
The flying device flew into the Imperial Palace. The vast Imperial Palace was brightly lit. There were high-tech structures and also retro-style buildings. There were also tall trees that had stood for hundreds or even thousands of years.
As soon as Jiang Tea Tea stepped off the flying device, she could feel the overpowering luxury and grandeur of the Emperor’s home.
The stone slabs under her feet and the flowers and plants to the sides were nothing but expensive and beautiful, along with the lamps lighting the path and the guards standing watch.
In this interstellar era of technology, the noble atmosphere here was even more intense than that of the powerful households and the Emperor’s home in ancient times. It carried an extra feeling of “the whole world is in my hands, rebel and you die” overbearing power over life and death.
Jiang Tea Tea asked Sui Xuan Chu curiously: “Roommate, your house is so big. The security monitoring system…”
Chong Ming’s deep voice covered her words as he said to Sui Xuan Chu: “Sui Xuan Chu, go rest first. I will take her for the exam.”
Sui Xuan Chu gave a little sound: “Imperial Uncle, I’m not sleepy. I can go with her. I can also say hi to my younger sister or younger brother.”
“!!!!” Jiang Tea Tea’s eyes went wide.
Say hi to the cub in her belly?
[What nonsense is he thinking?]
She would not even let this old mud loach Chong Ming see her cubs.
Jiang Tea Tea opened her mouth to refuse: “No need for you, whose elbow bends outward, to say hi. If you should be sleeping, then go sleep.”
Sui Xuan Chu stopped in place and stated his position: “Roommate, I’m its older brother.”
Jiang Tea Tea was merciless: “I don’t recognize that. You are nothing.”
Sui Xuan Chu choked: “You are going too far.”
Jiang Tea Tea raised a brow: “What are you going to do about it?”
Sui Xuan Chu pointed at her and jabbed his finger hard: “Fine, you win. Considering you are pregnant with a youngling, I will let you have this one.”
“I am going to rest now. If anything happens, call my communicator. I will get to you within ten minutes.”
Jiang Tea Tea was speechless: “If something really happens, and you take ten minutes to rush over, my corpse will already be cold.”
He thought about it. That was true.
The Healing Room and the palace he lived in were pretty far apart.
Sui Xuan Chu said: “I will try to get there in three minutes. See you.”
His uncle’s gaze was very scary. If he did not leave now, his uncle might cut him down.
Both of them were people he could not afford to offend.
He left, he left, he was leaving right away.
Once Jiang Tea Tea could no longer see Sui Xuan Chu, she urged the halted Chong Ming: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, walk in front and lead the way.”
Chong Ming lowered his gaze to look at her: “Are you very afraid of me?”
Jiang Tea Tea let out a puzzled little sound: “What?”
Chong Ming repeated with great patience: “You are very afraid of me. You are afraid to be alone with me. You are afraid I will fight you for the youngling. You are afraid I will find out the secret you are hiding.”
“But you also keep sizing me up and studying me. There is a hint of challenge in your eyes, a bit of not accepting me, like you want to kill me.”
“Even when you asked if I liked you, and I answered you, you treated my words as empty talk and refused to believe me.”
Jiang Tea Tea suddenly understood and answered honestly: “That’s right. So what?”
Chong Ming froze: “Nothing. I just wanted to ask why.”
Jiang Tea Tea rolled her eyes: “Go find the reason yourself.”
Chong Ming bent his waist and leaned toward her: “No hint at all?”
Jiang Tea Tea took two quick steps back: “We can talk, but why are you leaning so close to me?”
[What is he doing? What is he doing? Is he trying to flirt with me?]
Chong Ming’s golden eyes flashed. He straightened up and said in a low, stiff voice: “Come with me.”
Jiang Tea Tea let out an oh and followed behind him, taking in the night scene of the Imperial Palace as they walked. It was really beautiful and really rich.
After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the Imperial Palace’s Healing Room.
Cheng Lin Yue and Cheng Yuan were already waiting. When they saw Jiang Tea Tea arrive, they hurried up to greet her: “Sister Tea, you are here. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Jiang Tea Tea shook her head at her: “I feel fine. What about you, did you get hurt at the Academy?”
Cheng Lin Yue shook her head quickly: “No, no, I did not get hurt at the Academy. Come, let me introduce you. This is my uncle, Cheng Yuan.”
Jiang Tea Tea followed Cheng Lin Yue over to Cheng Yuan. He looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight, very thin, with a slender body, very clear eyes, and very fair skin. He looked like someone who had not seen much of the world, not like a male mouse-rabbit beastman in his forties or fifties who had been in a supernatural abilities research institute for ten years.
Cheng Yuan was the first to reach out his hand to Jiang Tea Tea: “Hello, nice to meet you, schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea.”
Jiang Tea Tea reached out and shook his hand: “Nice to meet you too. You are younger and better looking than I imagined.”
Cheng Yuan was stunned for a second by Jiang Tea Tea’s straight ball: “Thank you. You are also good-looking.”
Without showing any emotion, Chong Ming looked Cheng Yuan over from head to toe, his gaze lingering on his face for three extra seconds.
The corner of Jiang Tea Tea’s mouth curled up: “I know I look good. I will trouble you with my exam today.”
Cheng Yuan gave her a firm promise: “It is no trouble. You are my niece Cheng Lin Yue’s good schoolmate and good teammate, and you are also a Level SSS variant plant-type ability healing master. Being able to examine you is my honor.”
“Commander in Chief Chong Ming, I already looked over the Imperial Palace’s machines earlier. There is no problem with using them. I will take her for the exam now. Please wait a bit outside.”
Chong Ming nodded and reminded him: “I need the most accurate data report on her body.”
Cheng Yuan promised him: “Of course. You trust me this much, and schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea also trusts me this much. I will definitely examine her carefully.”
Chong Ming stepped aside to make way: “Please. I will wait for you here.”
Cheng Yuan took Jiang Tea Tea upstairs to the second floor.
Cheng Lin Yue followed behind them, nervous and stiff, looking exactly like a little rookie, timid and without courage.
But once they went into the examination room on the second floor, Cheng Lin Yue was like a different person. As fast as lightning, she set up all kinds of shielding devices around the big examination room.
After she finished setting up the shielding devices, she took out a diagnostic scanner and did a second check, then said to Jiang Tea Tea and her uncle: “Sister Tea, Uncle, it is done.”
Cheng Yuan nodded and reminded her: “I know. I already checked this room, the room next door, and the rooms upstairs.”
“There is no surveillance system here. There is only a surveillance system in the hall on the first floor, in the hallway, and in the stairwell.”
Cheng Lin Yue let out a sound of surprise and asked in confusion: “If there is no surveillance system, why did you still have me set up all these shielding devices?”
Cheng Yuan answered her: “It is never wrong to be careful.”
Cheng Lin Yue thought that made sense: “I will stand by the door and keep watch.”
Cheng Yuan said: “No need. Commander in Chief Chong Ming probably will not come upstairs. We will start the exam. You go turn on the diagnostic scanner.”
Cheng Lin Yue answered with an oh and obediently went to start the diagnostic scanner.
But Cheng Yuan did not have Jiang Tea Tea go stand next to the diagnostic scanner. Instead, he took a small examination table out of his space knob storage device.
He had Jiang Tea Tea lie on the examination table: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, lie down here. If I use this machine, the data will not be stored.”
“After we finish examining you, I will use the machine in the Imperial Palace to manually adjust the data.”
He understood her worries. Without her saying a word, he was willing to help her.
Jiang Tea Tea asked: “Why help me?”
Cheng Yuan answered without hiding anything: “Because you helped raise my niece’s supernatural abilities level so that she is no longer socially anxious. Her grades are excellent now, and she is getting special attention and separate training.”
“Because you hit Li Ao, which forced the things he did at the supernatural abilities research institute into the light.”
“Today I came to the capital planet to record a lot of statements. Maybe in the near future I can get my hypnosis supernatural abilities back from Li Ao.”
“I might even be able to apply to blow his head off and give him an extra shot. All of this is because of you. Maybe it was just something easy for you, but for me you unlocked my heart knot and my fear. I owe you this favor, and I have to repay it.”
“So, you do not need to worry. I am only going to check your body and look at your condition. Anything on your body that you do not want others to know, I will take to the grave with me.”
His gaze was very honest.
His behavior, movements, and aura did not make her feel any malice.
Jiang Tea Tea decided to trust him a little and lay down on the examination table.
Cheng Yuan picked up a tool from the examination table and said: “Don’t be nervous. I will stick this device on your belly so I can see the youngling in your belly clearly.”
Jiang Tea Tea said: “Go ahead.”
Cheng Yuan gently placed the tool on her belly. Right away, the younglings in her belly showed up on the nearby image screen.
Cheng Lin Yue had already reminded him that there was more than one youngling in Jiang Tea Tea’s belly and that they did not have eggshells, but he still never expected that what he saw would be a medical miracle, and that there would be so many.
Cheng Yuan took a deep breath to press down his wildly beating heart and spoke, unable to hide the tremble and disbelief in his voice: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, you have five golden dragon clan younglings in your belly. None of them have eggshells. They are all in your womb.”
“Judging by how many months along you are, not quite seven months, they are already considered hatched inside your belly.”
“Because they lack the royal father’s supernatural abilities spiritual power to soothe them, all five younglings are small in overall size, and two of them are especially small. If they still do not receive the royal father’s supernatural spiritual power to soothe them, the two smallest younglings may die.”
