Chapter 1: Childbirth Mission Completed, Escape!

The main tent of the military camp.

Outside the tent, the cold wind howled, but inside, there was a rare glimpse of spring.

Ji Qingwu took a deep breath and approached the bed. Her hands trembled as she unfastened the silver armor, outer robe, inner garment, and underpants of the man beneath her.

The man's cold, sharp eyes seemed to pierce her on the spot.

She took a handkerchief and covered his eyes, then straddled his waist with trembling movements.

The figures inside the tent overlapped.

Ji Qingwu was in excruciating pain, as if he were being tortured.

She was filled with remorse, wondering why she had forgotten to get herself a packet of Yin Yang He He San (a traditional Chinese medicine formula).

...

Ji Qingwu is a time traveler who made a deal with a fertility system called "Peanut" in order to cure a rare disease that modern medicine cannot cure.

The system gave her two years to travel to the Great Liang Kingdom, win over the General Dingbei, and produce offspring for him.

However, Ji Qingwu initially targeted the wrong person, offering his favors to the wrong general. By the time he realized his mistake, time was running out.

So, she used some "special means" to force herself on General Dingbei, and then Ji Qingwu went into hiding.

Before we knew it, more than nine months had passed.

In the dilapidated tent.

Ji Qingwu, who had just given birth, looked pale, with two sleeping infants in swaddling clothes beside her.

"Peanut, have I completed my task?"

[Congratulations, host! The mission to have a child has been completed. We will now cleanse your body of any impurities and restore your health.]

A strange golden light swept over her.

Her complexion became rosy and radiant at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Now, the chronic illness has been cured, and the physical damage caused by childbirth has also been repaired.

For the first time, Ji Qingwu experienced what it felt like to breathe freely.

Her eyes were bright, and she said impatiently, "Now that I have completed my mission of giving birth, I will pack my things and leave the military camp."

[Host, you are here to warn that your child will be left unattended after you leave. The child will cry all night and will face an unkind stepmother and being led astray by a wicked person when they grow up...]

Listening to the system's exaggerated and pitiful description, Ji Qingwu frowned and interrupted.

"Is the child's father dead? Besides, you didn't mention needing after-sales service in the first place."

That being said, logically speaking...

Is this the time to start talking about feelings?

When we were counting down the days until her life was over, not a single second could be wasted.

Ji Qingwu waved her hand in refusal, reminding her, "We signed an agreement that I will be free after giving birth."

The system has never encountered a case where someone gave birth to twins and immediately wanted to "resign" and leave.

However, this seemingly delicate host poisoned the entire military camp with drugs and forcefully slept with General Dingbei before becoming pregnant.

The two had no feelings for each other at all.

Ji Qingwu, supporting her lower back, slowly sat up and said, "My biggest concession is that I can take my daughter with me. It's fair that we each raise one."

Ultimately, the system acquiesced to her proposal and updated and improved the corresponding terms in the AI.

Ji Qingwu's gaze fell on the baby boy in the pink and blue brocade, and she gently tapped his forehead with her fingertip.

"Little one, a good man should have ambitions to travel far and wide, and a good daughter should also travel the world. Mother will take your sister and go ahead."

She took half of the double carp jade pendant that she always wore around her neck and carefully tucked it into the baby's blanket.

The world is vast and distant, and she wants to use her healthy body to see it for herself.

So Ji Qingwu, full of enthusiasm, set off on a new journey with a little cub!

But the good times didn't last long.

It didn't even last three days...

Ji Qingwu then discovered that the world outside was not as wonderful as he had imagined.

This world is a chaotic era of warlordism and regional separatism, and who will ultimately prevail is an unknown.

Many people live a miserable life of displacement, and in some places it is no exaggeration to say that people eat each other.

Having seen too many refugees, Ji Qingwu, a frail woman with a newborn child, knew that finding a safe place to stay was the most important thing.

Because she had neither a travel permit nor a household registration document, she carried her child and smuggled herself from the border of Liang Kingdom to the relatively peaceful neighboring Southern Chu Kingdom, finally finding a place where she could live a normal life.

This childbirth system isn't entirely useless; it specializes in treating infertility, and successful treatments allow users to accumulate points to redeem special abilities.

On their escape, a kind-hearted village woman in her forties took in Ji Qingwu and her mother for a few days. To express his gratitude, Ji Qingwu cured the village woman's long-standing infertility.

This was just a basic case of infertility, and Ji Qingwu could get 100 points, which she immediately exchanged for the Disguise Technique.

Although Ji Qingwu's face is not stunningly beautiful, it is like a summer lotus with dew on it, fresh and bright, a rare sight in this world. Coupled with her even more supple and graceful figure after childbirth, she might be targeted by bad guys.

In a small border town of the Southern Chu Kingdom.

Ji Qingwu opened a clinic, and in order to avoid attracting attention, she would disguise herself every day to conceal her true appearance.

Life is leisurely and carefree; earning money to raise children isn't difficult.

She only hoped that the chaotic world would soon stabilize so that she could resume her travel plans.

Before we knew it, four years had passed.

Ji Qingwu was sorting medicinal herbs, holding the bark of Eucommia ulmoides that he had personally picked from the mountain, and was using a plane to peel off the rough bark.

She was wearing a light blue and white jacket. Her skin was dark after the disguise, her eyebrows were thick and bushy, and her facial features were flat. The only thing that was still outstanding about her face was her pair of bright black eyes.

"The Five Great Doctors!"

Ji Qingwu used the name "Ji Wu" to travel around this area, so the locals all called her Doctor Wu.

A woman dressed in coarse cloth hurried into the clinic.

Ji Qingwu glanced up and saw the woman's sorrowful face, and knew that she had been trying to conceive for many years without success.

As soon as the lady saw her, she knelt down and bowed to her, saying, "Fifth Doctor, I have come from Danshan County specifically to seek your medical help."

It's over a hundred li from Danshan County to this place. Ji Qingwu observed the other person's expression; his face was smooth and his lips were red, not like someone who had been traveling through wind and rain.

She stopped the other person from kneeling and said gently, "Madam, please sit down and have some tea before we talk."

"Dr. Ji, please help me. My husband and I have been married for six or seven years, but my belly just won't cooperate. Other women have two children in three years, and now my children are running all over the place. I'm so angry and anxious."

Ji Qingwu listened patiently as she recounted the hardships she had endured over the years.

"Sometimes the more anxious you are, the more counterproductive it becomes, madam. Place your hand on the pulse pillow."

She placed her hand on the woman's wrist, her thick eyebrows twitching.

"Madam, has your period started this month?"

The woman nodded awkwardly: "My menstrual cycle naturally comes every month. I'm actually hoping it won't come."

Ji Qingwu withdrew his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and picked up a handkerchief to wash his hands.

"Please leave."

"Dr. Ji, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Qingwu said directly, "Since you refuse to tell me the truth, why should I treat you?"

The woman stood up, hands on her hips, and began to yell, "I never expected you to be such a snobbish doctor! You saw that I was poorly dressed and just gave me a few perfunctory words, trying to kick me out. Now that I'm here, you absolutely must find the cause of my illness!"

Many women with infertility issues refuse to tell her the truth, and many others are verbally abused when their truth is revealed.

Ji Qingwu picked up the Eucommia ulmoides bark that had been partially peeled off again, and said without looking up, "You could never have had your period. You were born without a uterus and will never be able to have children. No matter how skilled I am, I could never create something out of nothing."

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard her diagnosis.

She strode to the window and called out, "Lord Ji, this hermit doctor is quite skilled!"

Ji Qingwu heard this address: "Lord Ji".

He knew in his heart that something was wrong!
