Chapter 289 Accident

Chi Heng's disappearance was no secret. After the Treasure Pavilion reopened, people frequently inquired about Chi Heng's whereabouts.

Lei Lao from the Kyoto base had also contacted Dongfang Jin many times, wanting to know if Chi Heng was still alive.

Dongfang Jin only said that he was still alive and not to worry.

As for where he went, Elder Lei didn't ask, and Dongfang Jin himself didn't know either.

At the edge of Lingxi Peak, Luo Pingjing set up several swings for a few girls, where they could sit on the swings, enjoy the breeze, and take in the beautiful scenery of Qianpo Mountain.

After several days of continuous cultivation, Yu Yao sat on the swing, holding a freshly ripened strawberry in her hand, eating it as she swung.

Chi Heng has been gone for two whole months, and Yu Yao originally thought that she would think of him less and less.

Unexpectedly, it got worse and worse.

She spent her days immersed in cultivation, alchemy, and crafting artifacts and talismans, which was the only way she could find some relief.

It was a rare treat to get some fresh air today. I sat on the swing and looked at the scenery, and my mood was pretty good.

Luo Mei stayed with her on the swing for a while before going to play games with Shenbao.

The two of them ran and jumped, and Luo Mei caught Shen Bao, just about to lift him up.

As a result, Shenbao, unwilling to accept defeat, twisted its body, unconsciously bringing with it some spiritual power.

Although it lacked offensive capabilities, it was still a high-level spirit pet. With a ripple of spiritual energy, it caused Luo Mei's hand to loosen, and her body involuntarily took several steps back.

"Huh?" Shenbao tilted his head in confusion, just about to ask when his spiritual power had become so strong.

Then, Luo Mei suddenly swayed and fainted.

"Ah! Sister Amei!"

Shenbao cried out in surprise. Yu Yao heard the noise and quickly turned around. Upon seeing the situation, her expression changed.

He teleported towards Luo Mei.

Dongfang Jin swept over like a gust of wind and caught Luo Mei in his arms.

Yu Yao quickly checked on Luo Mei, who had already fainted.

Upon investigation, he was completely stunned.

Dongfang Jin asked Yu Yao anxiously, "Xiao Qi, how is Mei'er? Is the problem from a while ago still unresolved? Can it be resolved? She seems perfectly fine."

Looking at the unconscious Luo Mei, Can Bao felt guilty and burst into tears.

"It's all Shenbao's fault... Shenbao shouldn't have used spiritual power to resist. It's all Shenbao's fault, Master, Brother Dongfang, please punish Shenbao..."

Da Man anxiously nuzzled Shen Bao to comfort him, while looking at Luo Mei with concern.

Mo Yu sensed something was wrong and rushed over from the White Building, followed by Qi Xian, Xu Guining, Jiang Yi, and Luo Pingjing.

Yu Yao looked at the worried faces and Dongfang Jin's reddened eyes, and pursed her lips.

"No...it's not the same problem as before."

"What happened?" Dongfang Jin asked hurriedly.

Shenbao cried even louder, thinking it really was his fault.

He pulled at his hair and cried out.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Mei, it's all Shenbao's fault. Please eat Shenbao... it will make you feel better..."

This time, no one cared about wiping away his tears.

Yu Yao sighed and pressed down on his chubby little hand that was "self-harming".

"It's not your problem...it's..."

"What is it!" Dongfang Jin asked again.

Yu Yao knew he was nearly frantic with worry, so after a moment's hesitation, she slowly said, "Second Brother... Amei, she..."

"she......"

Hearing Yu Yao stammering and unable to speak, Jiang Yi became anxious, "What...what's wrong with her?"

Yu Yao looked at Dongfang Jin and said softly, "She... is pregnant."

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire Thousand Soul Mountain fell into an eerie silence.

Only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the fields could be heard.

Jiang Yi:......(°o°)

Luo Pingjing: "...Fuck!"

Mo Yu glanced at him in surprise, not expecting someone who always hated swearing to do so.

I broke the rule too!

Xu Guining exclaimed in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth.

Even the heartbroken Shenbao suddenly stopped crying, staring blankly at Yu Yao with his big, dark eyes, like water-washed grapes.

Dongfang Jin's pupils dilated violently. He stared at Yu Yao blankly for a long while, his CPU working frantically as he tried to understand what Yu Yao meant.

However, it crashed, which is quite unusual for it.

Until Jiang Yi screamed, "Pregnant!! Pregnant???"

Startled by his voice, Dongfang Jin snapped back to her senses and quickly looked down at Luo Mei.

"Pregnant?"

He repeated it softly, then asked, "Why would she faint during pregnancy? Is it harmful to her health? If so, Xiao Qi... abort it!"

His eyes were red and his face was full of anxiety, without a trace of joy.

Yu Yao's brow twitched, and she quickly tried to comfort him.

"Second brother, don't think too much. Amei is just a little unstable in the early stages of pregnancy. She fainted this time because her body has not yet adapted to the energy being absorbed by the baby in her womb. We will take good care of her and she will be fine."

Dongfang Jin shook her head, her eyes filled with coldness.

"Absorbing energy? What kind of fetus can absorb energy like this! It just arrived, and even Mei'er's physical condition can't withstand it, what will happen later! Xiao Qi, please help me..."

As Dongfang Jin spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to fall.

Luo Pingjing quickly stepped forward and pressed his shoulder to comfort him, saying, "Second brother, don't worry. Xiao Qi cares about Mei Mei just as much as you do. If she says she's fine, then she'll definitely be fine."

Yu Yao nodded quickly.

Dongfang Jin was not comforted by these words; instead, she shook her head, her face serious.

"I don't want her to be alright. I want her to suffer no hardship or injustice whatsoever. If keeping this child comes at the cost of Mei'er's life, then I don't want that!"

Yu Yao gently bit her lower lip and added a sentence.

"No, not just one..."

Dongfang Jin: "......"

Yu Yao raised her hand and extended two fingers.

"......two."

Dongfang Jin paused for a moment, then shook her head again, "She's only twenty-four... She's so young... She shouldn't let a child hold her back!"

His eyes were filled with guilt. "It's all my fault. I thought..."

In the post-apocalyptic world, women's menstrual cycles become irregular, making pregnancy almost impossible, so they have never paid attention to such matters.

Who would have thought...

Before Dongfang Jin could say anything more, Luo Mei's voice drifted over.

"I want......"

Dongfang Jin suddenly lowered her eyes and looked at Luo Mei.

"Mei'er!"

Luo Mei raised her hand and touched Dongfang Jin's cold cheek, then smiled and said, "My child! I decide what to do! But you have to take care of him!"

She's only in charge of making the decisions.
