Chapter 298 Giving birth
The milk was steaming hot.
However, unlike in the past...
Two servings of breakfast were prepared today.
Mu Yunyun sat down naturally, and she asked Lu Jiu next to her to sit down.
"Great Clan Chief, this servant..."
"Let you sit, just sit."
She took his hand and pulled him down to sit.
Lu Jiu was a little reserved, with her head down, and her helpless expression was clearly seen by Qi Yue.
Qi Yue had no appetite. Looking at their clasped hands and the clearly visible contract symbol on his arm…
and many more.
totem.
Qi Yue's gaze lingered on the totem.
Even though three years have passed, he can still vaguely remember the lines that were branded on his arm back then.
After all, there were shackles around that totem that represented an ancient mark, so he couldn't possibly have misremembered.
And Lu Jiu's arm...
Forever and ever with Xiaoyu
Qi Yue shifted her gaze from his arm to Mu Yunyun.
Mu Yunyun instinctively looked away, feeling guilty and not daring to look at him.
Qi Yue had been tossing and turning all night, her anger burning inside, but for some reason it suddenly subsided.
Forget it.
he thinks.
What did he and she have to argue about?
It's unnecessary to make yourself angry.
He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the goat's milk, something he would never have touched before, as it was so sweet and sticky.
Perhaps it was because I was in a good mood, but I actually found the goat milk quite good.
Mu Yunyun was extremely annoyed that he didn't care about anything and didn't even ask questions.
Also.
Why would he be jealous?
If he were jealous, he wouldn't have bought Lu Jiu back.
"I'm full, I'm going out for a bit."
She felt suffocated and didn't want to stay there for another second.
"Wait a minute," Qi Yue suddenly called out to her.
"what?"
Qi Yue carefully wiped the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, where there was still a scab from a bite taken by a drunkard.
However, none of this matters anymore.
He was in a good mood and didn't want to expose her, so he let her act. But if word got out, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?
"I'm planning to send Lu Jiu to Qishan. What do you think?"
"Why?"
Mu Yunyun leaned closer again, her eyes like those of a little puppy.
“I don’t trust anyone else to deliver Si’er and Zhuan’er, as the old witch doctor delivered them.”
"that is it?"
"otherwise?"
"Then why send Lu Jiu? Wouldn't it be better to send the Night Bird Clan?"
Normally, Qi Yue would just let her do as she pleased.
But now...
He made an unusual excuse: "I have nothing to do these days, and I don't need anyone to wait on me. What, you're reluctant to part with me?"
He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, then raised his voice at the end, asking her a teasing question.
Mu Yunyun is a bit timid.
She and Lu Jiu had nothing going on. Although she pretended to have something to see him jealous, admitting it to him in person would be a different story.
She made excuses for herself.
This isn't because she's henpecked; it's because he's heavily pregnant, and she's being considerate of him and doesn't want to upset him.
If he is unhappy, the cubs are unhappy; if the cubs are unhappy, then she, the mother, is also unhappy.
Thinking about it this way, she pretended to be a little hesitant: "Alright then, I'll do as you say this time."
She then said to Lu Jiu, "Go and come back quickly, and invite the old witch doctor over as soon as possible. Don't delay."
"Yes, Chieftain."
Wait until people leave.
Lu Jiu didn't dare to sit down.
He prostrated himself on the ground, his voice trembling with fear: "Master, I didn't mean it, it was..."
"Alright." There were no outsiders here, and Qi Yue didn't want to hear any more of this.
He stared at Lu Jiu: "You've always been the most composed person, how come you're acting like her?"
“Master…” Lu Jiu suddenly looked up.
It was discovered!
He was a little flustered and didn't know how to explain.
Fortunately, Qi Yue didn't want to make things difficult for him in this matter.
"You've been working hard all night, so you don't need to be waited on here. Go and rest. Once you've rested, I'll draft a letter for you to send to Qishan."
"I'm not tired." Lu Jiu's face was flushed. "As long as Master gives the order, I will definitely do it."
Qi Yue told him to get up.
"You don't need to blame yourself too much for what happened last time. She didn't have that intention. Let it go in the future. Qishan is a good place. You can manage Si'er's private property there from now on."
what!
Lu Jiu was a little confused.
He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
He must have been saddened to hear that he was to be sent to Qishan.
But, managing private property?
Do you know what kind of job it is to manage private property?
To put it simply, he has to approve all expenditures related to the offerings. That's a lot of power, which means he can quickly establish himself in Qishan without having to depend on anyone else.
Moreover, this job is easy and simple; as long as no mistakes are made, one can do it until old age.
When I get old, I can train a young apprentice to take over the job, and then I will truly have something to rely on in my old age.
He would never have dared to imagine this before.
"What's wrong? Don't want to?"
"I am willing!"
How could he possibly refuse!
This is something I would never even dream of.
The overwhelming surprise left Lu Jiu feeling lightheaded. He was ready to set off immediately, not wanting to waste a single moment.
......
The old witch doctor arrived quickly.
As soon as Lu Jiu went to Qishan, the old witch doctor hurriedly set off.
After many twists and turns, they barely made it through before Qiyue's baby started moving.
To be honest, Qi Yue's pregnancy was particularly difficult.
Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, the baby was restless in his belly, and he couldn't sleep well every night.
His temper is getting worse and worse; he gets angry and gives people the cold shoulder whenever things don't go his way.
Mu Yunyun was afraid that he would upset her, so she was very careful and coaxed him again and again, not daring to utter a single word.
"The old witch doctor has gone down to prepare; you should take your medicine quickly."
Qi Yue turned her head away, her clothes soaked with sweat, her face pale with pain.
"Need not."
He doesn't care.
After driving Lu Jiu away, the two remained lukewarm towards each other, only exchanging a few words for the sake of the cub.
He was constantly depressed; how could he possibly feel good?
"Take this medicine and the pain will subside soon. I made it myself; why would I harm you?"
"Haven't you caused enough harm?"
"My bad, my bad."
That’s it again!
Every time he gets angry, she admits her mistakes quickly, but does she think he cares about that attitude?
Seeing him like this, Mu Yunyun became extremely anxious and frustrated.
She had heard the old witch doctor say that the pain of cutting open a child alive was unbearable for ordinary people.
Many merfolk have died from excruciating pain.
The more she listened, the more frightened she became, so she specially developed a elixir to alleviate his pain.
"You can be angry, hit me, or scold me, it's all fine. The baby is still in my belly. Once it's born, I'll do whatever you want."
"You did it all for the cubs!"
Qi Yue lay on the bed, looking disheveled from the torment of the cub. He wanted her to leave and didn't want to show any vulnerability.
How can this be called "for the sake of the cubs"?
Mu Yunyun was anxious and didn't want to argue with him. Just as she was about to coax him to take the pill, the old witch doctor came in from outside.
"Clan leader, get out of here quickly, don't cause trouble."
He held a bone knife in his hand.
That bone knife was extremely sharp.
When Mu Yunyun saw it, her scalp tingled.
She quickly fed him the pill and gripped his hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't leave. I'll stay right here. If it hurts, just cry out. Don't hold it in."
