Chapter 89
Chapter 89: The one you’re carrying is a dragon cub, and Little Brat’s dad is looking for the baby in your belly
Cheng Lin Yue blurted out: “What do you mean whose baby? Your baby!”
Jiang Tea Tea pointed at herself and couldn’t help but laugh: “My baby? You’re saying I’m pregnant?”
[What kind of ridiculous, world-shaking joke is this?]
She was a tree.
Even if she had become a demon and taken human form, she was still a tree.
Trees blossomed, got pollinated, bore fruit, ripened, fell to the ground, sprouted, and grew into saplings, then big trees.
Even if this demon tree turned into a person and had a human body, according to the human race’s terms, different species were reproductively isolated.
The man she had slept with at the First Hotel was definitely not of the same clan as her. His level of supernatural abilities was much higher than hers, and his physical ability was stronger too.
But no matter how strong he was, how could one night of fun break reproductive isolation and leave her with a baby in her belly?
If she went back to the Demon Clan with a big belly, demons from thousands of li around their mountain estates would run over to laugh at her.
Looking at her expression, Cheng Lin Yue now fully understood that when she had wanted to tell her before that she was pregnant, Sister Tea had said not to say it because she thought Cheng Lin Yue already knew. Letting the secret rot in her belly had been a beautiful misunderstanding where one chicken talked to a duck. She actually had no idea she was pregnant.
Cheng Lin Yue unfastened her own seat belt and leaned over, holding the hand Jiang Tea Tea had used to point at herself, then slowly moved it down to point at her belly. She spoke earnestly: “Sister Tea, I learned my pulse-reading skills from my uncle. My uncle studies black doctors and ancient medical arts.”
“Even though my healing skills and medical arts are not great, the pregnancy pulse I read is one hundred percent accurate. Every later pregnancy my mom had was detected by me.”
“So I am sure you are pregnant. It’s less than three months, and not just one. As for exactly how many, and whether they are male or female, we still need instruments, detailed scans, and blood tests to know.”
More than one baby?
Did she really have little tea tree seedlings?
Jiang Tea Tea pulled her hand back and stared at Cheng Lin Yue, wanting to see any sign of a lie or a joke on her face. But she found Cheng Lin Yue looking at her with extreme seriousness. There was no lie, no joke.
After a long time, Jiang Tea Tea finally said: “Sit a little farther away, don’t lean so close. I’ll check myself.”
For safety, Cheng Lin Yue added another signal shielding device, placing two of them inside the not very big flying device.
Jiang Tea Tea slowly placed her hand over her lower abdomen. As the only demon of the tea tree family, she had never thought she would have a baby, even less that she would have little tea tree seedlings.
She wrapped her spiritual power around her hand and pressed it to her belly, feeling her lower abdomen burning like a ball of fire, with something moving inside.
That squirming feeling was like bugs burrowing inside her tree trunk, or worms crawling along her bark.
So it was not a single seed, and not little tea tree seedlings?
She closed her eyes halfway and used her spiritual power to see through, looking into her own belly.
In an instant, her half-closed eyes snapped open, and she sat up straight.
Beside her, Cheng Lin Yue stammered softly: “Tea… Sister Tea, are you okay?”
Jiang Tea Tea kept her hand on her belly and slowly turned her head toward Cheng Lin Yue: “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Cheng Lin Yue thought she looked more like something was wrong than fine: “Sister Tea, Little Brat’s dad doesn’t want to take responsibility, right? It’s okay. In this interstellar space era, with technology developing fast, you’re so strong and capable that it doesn’t matter whether Little Brat has a dad or not. You can raise them, and I can help.”
“And also, probably, maybe, the reason you eat so much is because your belly was kicked before, and Little Brat lacks its dad’s supernatural abilities and spiritual power to comfort it.”
“If Sui Xuan Chu doesn’t want to take responsibility, it’s fine. Just make him a tool dragon. Have him release supernatural abilities and spiritual power to soothe the babies in your belly. It should effectively ease your binge eating.”
Jiang Tea Tea felt like she had swallowed something disgusting; it was hard to put into words: “You suspect that Little Brat’s dad in my belly is Sui Xuan Chu?”
Sui Xuan Chu was a dragon who hadn’t even reached adulthood yet. He couldn’t beat her, couldn’t out-argue her. How could he be the father of the babies in her belly?
Cheng Lin Yue let out an “ah”: “It’s not him? I thought besides him, there were no other Dragon Clan around you who were close to you. You’re carrying Dragon Clan babies…”
“Wait. Who said I’m pregnant with Dragon Clan babies?” Jiang Tea Tea cut her off. The babies she had seen inside her belly looked like little earthworms, little loaches, little yellow eels, one by one, and there were no eggshells.
“Shouldn’t Dragon Clan younglings be inside eggshells?” she asked.
Cheng Lin Yue looked silly and stunned: “You… you’re not carrying Dragon Clan babies? That can’t be. From your pulse, it felt like Dragon Clan babies, and more than one…”
“No, no. Dragon Clan younglings are oviparous, they have eggshells. The babies in your belly seem to have no shells. They’re viviparous, in your womb…”
“Hiss, you’re not carrying Dragon Clan younglings, you’re carrying Serpent Clan. The Serpent Clan can be either viviparous or oviparous, but they also look a bit like worms…”
“No, no. About the babies in your belly, we still need instruments. Once we use instruments, do imaging scans, and draw blood for tests, we’ll know exactly what race you’re carrying.”
As Cheng Lin Yue talked, even she became less confident. Sister Tea could not possibly be pregnant with an insectoid race.
No, no, it was an illusion, definitely an illusion. She must have misread the pulse. Sister Tea could not be carrying insectoid race babies.
“Still not right.” Suddenly something occurred to Cheng Lin Yue and she said: “Sister Tea, I still think the ones in your belly are dragon cubs.”
Jiang Tea Tea frowned: “Explain.”
Cheng Lin Yue asked her: “Do you remember two days ago, when my idol, my heartthrob idol, Commander in Chief Chong Ming, came down to look for a baby?”
Jiang Tea Tea nodded: “I remember.”
Cheng Lin Yue slapped her thigh: “That matches. According to the time Commander in Chief Chong Ming came down to look for the baby and sensed the baby was in danger, that was when, as you said, Jiang Yi Cheng punched you in the stomach.”
“Dragon Clan younglings are different from other races’ younglings. Once a Dragon Clan youngling is conceived, until it is ripe and ready, it is very hard for it to leave the mother body.”
“Basically, once the youngling has survived in the mother body for more than a month, if it encounters danger, it will release a kind of pheromone to tell the other Dragon Clan: I’m in danger, come save me.”
“The Dragon Clan is huge, divided by colors. There are fights and grudges between the colors, but one unspoken rule is their protection of younglings. No matter who it is, when they encounter a youngling’s distress signal, they basically won’t stand by and do nothing.”
“Commander in Chief Chong Ming, as a golden dragon of the Imperial Clan, is the dragon with the highest level of supernatural abilities and spiritual power in the whole Dragon Clan. The youngling distress signal he smells is stronger than for other dragons.”
“Therefore, I judge that the babies in your belly are definitely Dragon Clan.”
“Commander in Chief Chong Ming smelled the distress signal. The youngling he’s looking for is right in your belly.”
Jiang Tea Tea: “…”
Damn it. In their Demon Clan there was a legend: a dragon has nine sons, and every son is different, all sorts of strange. Whoever the Dragon Clan sleeps with can give birth to its babies.
According to the little rabbit, the legend was true. The ones in her belly were dragon cubs, but because she was a demon, the dragon cubs had no eggshells and were being born alive inside her like little earthworms and little yellow eels?
Jiang Tea Tea took a deep breath: “All right, little rabbit. No third person can know about me being pregnant.”
Cheng Lin Yue nodded quickly, not forgetting to remind her: “I know, but you still have to take it easy. Even if Little Brat has already passed the most dangerous first month, fighting this fiercely without the babies’ dad’s supernatural abilities and spiritual power to soothe them is still very dangerous.”
Jiang Tea Tea knew she meant well and accepted her good intentions: “I know. I’ll be careful and pay attention. Now leave this flying device and go stay on Sui Xuan Chu’s flying device for a while. I have something to do outside.”
She was carrying dragon cubs. That old mud loach Chong Ming had more than once asked if she had stayed at the First Hotel, constantly testing her and probing her.
The man she had slept with in the dark, whose physical ability and supernatural abilities were all higher than hers, could he be that old mud loach Chong Ming?
Cheng Lin Yue’s voice weakened: “Sister Tea, can I know what you’re going out to do?”
Jiang Tea Tea refused without hesitation: “No. But I can bring you good food and drinks when I come back.”
Cheng Lin Yue let out an “oh”: “Okay. Be careful.”
Jiang Tea Tea said: “Okay, I know.”
Cheng Lin Yue got out of the flying device.
Jiang Tea Tea started the flying device and lifted off.
Sui Xuan Chu and the others hurried out and asked: “Cheng Lin Yue, where is Sister Tea flying off to?”
Cheng Lin Yue pulled back her gaze, looked at them, and lied without blinking: “Sister Tea wasn’t full. She went out hunting. We’ll rest, and she’ll come back when she finishes.”
Sui Xuan Chu counted on his fingers: “Earlier Sister Tea ate half an antelope and half a wild donkey. Then there was mutton soup, wild vegetables, horse meat, and grilled mushrooms.”
“All together that has to be several dozen jin of food. And she’s still not full. Do you think she really has some illness, the kind where you can’t get full…”
“You have an illness, your whole family has an illness.” Cheng Lin Yue cut Sui Xuan Chu off fiercely: “She took down thirty Army Corps commanders by herself and saved you from being eliminated. What’s wrong with her eating more?”
Sui Xuan Chu choked on her retort and stiffly changed his words: “You misunderstood me. I meant we should be the ones to hunt for her to eat.”
“Right, right, Huang Da Zhuang, Brother Octopus…” he called.
Huang Da Zhuang and Zhang Ting Zhou said: “Yes, yes, little rabbit. From now on, if Sister Tea wants to eat something and she doesn’t tell us, you tell us. We’ll go hunting and look for wild vegetables.”
“Anyway, after killing thirty commanders, no one can surpass our personal points and squad points. Now as long as the other drill instructors don’t catch us and kill us, we are sure to win.”
Cheng Lin Yue snorted coldly at them, ignored them, walked to the flying device, opened the door, sat inside, tilted her head, and fell asleep.
Cheng Xiao Ting rested his elbow on Sui Xuan Chu’s shoulder: “My roommate, little rabbit, is getting bolder and bolder.”
“It really proves that saying: picking the right person to follow is important. Look at how much Sister Tea has trained her, how different she is.”
Sui Xuan Chu tilted his shoulder, slipping out from under his elbow: “Even Cheng Lin Yue has changed, and we haven’t. That’s a bad review.”
Cheng Xiao Ting: “…”
Fine, fine, personal attack, and he didn’t forget to attack himself. Leaving him with nothing to retort with. Wasn’t that change?
Jiang Tea Tea flew the device a hundred kilometers away, found a mountain estate, put down roots into the ground, and absorbed the essence and nutrients of Mother Earth to nourish her body, forcing her spiritual power back up to nearly thirty percent. Then she called Chong Ming.
Chong Ming was half asleep when the vibration woke him. The image of Jiang Tea Tea’s flying device appeared before his eyes.
He glanced at the incoming communication and then at the time. It was almost three in the morning. At such a late hour, after eating and drinking her fill, she should have found a place to curl up and sleep, not call him.
He accepted the call: “Jiang Tea Tea, schoolmate, calling me this late, is there something you need?”
Jiang Tea Tea looked at him in the video call: “I do need something from you.”
Chong Ming asked: “What is it?”
Jiang Tea Tea replied coldly: “To hit someone.”
