Chapter 45 The child is mine, whoever tries to take it will die! Ji Qi…

Ji Qinian's words made Zhou Fengyun and Yu Qing both look at him.

Zhou Fengyun had one question after another in his mind.

He looked at Yu Qing, full of questions but knowing he shouldn't ask them now.

Yu Qing's reaction was quite direct. He grabbed the knife lying beside him and replied in a warning tone, "The child is mine. Whoever tries to take it will die."

Ji Qinian was a little flustered and whispered, "I'm not trying to take the child from you."

"Since you're not here to snatch the child, don't say anything more." Yu Qing didn't want to get entangled with the child's nine fathers; he hadn't planned to follow the script from the start.

Yu Qing turned to Zhou Fengyun and said, "Let's go."

Zhou Fengyun felt a secret sense of satisfaction for a moment.

I got him two long knives.

Yu Qing helped himself up from the large rock and stood on the aircraft.

The little dog wagged its tail and jumped onto the aircraft.

Sitting on the edge, looking up at him, she wagged her tail wildly.

Yu Qing looked down at the little stray dog, then gently swept it away with his foot.

The little dog's eyes had lost their sparkle, and it looked at him pitifully.

Ji Qinian picked up the spirit dog and comforted it.

Zhou Fengyun boarded the aircraft, and the two of them flew away without saying much.

Ji Qinian was left alone with his dog, standing pitifully in the same spot.

Ji Qinian put the little dog down and said softly, "Go find him."

The little dog wagged its tail and ran forward, following the scent.

＊

Yu Qing flew for a distance before landing.

There must have been a battle in this area just now; there are no ghosts or monsters left.

They killed everyone cleanly, and when they landed, they even found a crystal that someone had overlooked.

Yu Qing was overjoyed to find the crystal.

Making money still brings happiness.

"Are you still feeling unwell?" Zhou Fengyun asked. "Should we go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"No need, I'm much better now. I just moved too much. I'll rest for a while and I'll be fine." Yu Qing said as he sat down.

Looking up at Zhou Fengyun, he asked, "What did that minotaur drop? Did you pick it up?"

Zhou Fengyun also sat down, placed his backpack between them, unzipped it, and took out two large, colorful crystals, one red and one ice blue.

"These two crystals can enhance fire and ice-type abilities. You can use them if you need them."

Yu Qing shook his head: "I don't need it anymore. It's more practical to exchange it for money."

"Your skills can still be upgraded, why don't you want them?" Zhou Fengyun didn't expect him to refuse. Anyone would refuse to upgrade their skills.

Yu Qing glanced at the two crystals. "I'd rather have money."

“Okay.” Zhou Fengyun put the crystal back into his backpack. “I’ll calculate the money and split it with you after we get out.”

"That's exactly what I was waiting for you to say." Yu Qing leaned back, supported himself with his hands on the ground, lazily stretched out his legs, and swung his feet from side to side.

The two of them suddenly fell silent.

After Zhou Fengyun zipped up his backpack, he patted the bag lightly, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.

Yu Qing spoke first: "Won't the baby be happy if he only has one father?"

Zhou Fengyun paused for a moment; he had never thought about this question before.

He was born into a happy and healthy family and cannot empathize with the feelings of a child from a single-parent family.

However, there are many single-parent families, left-behind children, and orphans in this world, and some of them are able to live a good life and have great love in their hearts.

"I don't think so. A person's happiness comes from love and fulfillment. If you can give your child enough love and make him feel fulfilled, he will feel happy. Even if there are two fathers, if they can't give him love and can't meet the emotional and material needs of the child, then the fathers will also be unhappy."

"I think so too." Yu Qing looked down at his stomach.

"Was that person just now the child's other father?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

"I don't know." Yu Qing admitted that he hadn't finished reading the original novel and didn't know who the child's father was, but Ji Qinian's character was quite good. He liked him while reading the book and felt that he was more like a devoted second male lead who could never get the male lead.

"You don't know? Then how did you get pregnant?" Zhou Fengyun's heart inexplicably jumped.

Yu Qing tilted his head: "I conceived through artificial insemination. He probably thinks I used his sperm. Anyway, the child is mine alone, so don't ask."

Is it done manually?

Zhou Fengyun's heart, which had been in his throat, settled down again.

I won't ask anymore.

The sounds of battle drifted from afar. Yu Qing, having recovered, got up, picked up his twin swords, and prepared to fight.

Zhou Fengyun took him to a good place.

"A big guy that can drop good stuff will appear here later." As Zhou Fengyun spoke, a number of superhumans had already arrived around them.

This also includes Ji Qinian.

However, Ji Qinian did not approach them, but stood at the other end.

However, the little mongrel beside him trotted through the crowd and ran to Yu Qing's feet.

I sat down on the side.

Yu Qing glanced at it; it was a dog, so he didn't care.

Zhou Fengyun, however, felt that the dog was very cunning.

Ji Qinian's gaze would occasionally fall on Yu Qing.

On the day the accident happened, he was on a business trip from Haishi to Anshi.

He stayed at the Yuean Hotel, but soon the concentration of ghostly energy surged. Since he was a superhuman, his instinct was not to run away, so he stayed and helped the staff evacuate the hotel guests.

But that day was special. When the concentration of ghostly energy reached a certain level, his vision suddenly turned a magenta color.

The black ghostly aura suddenly changed color, and his mind began to become unclear, as if it had been invaded by something.

He vaguely saw someone ahead, so he chased after them to find out what was going on.

He went into a room, and then he couldn't remember anything else.

When he woke up, he was lying in the hotel's atrium.

There were many people lying in the courtyard at that time.

Everyone was confused and had no recollection of what had happened.

Some people were disheveled, some had injuries, but all the surveillance cameras in the ghostly aura were broken.

No one knows what happened during the eighteen hours when everyone was suffering from amnesia.

But he realized he was only wearing suit pants and nothing underneath. Where were his underwear?

He had scratches on his body, on his thighs and buttocks, clearly indicating that he had been scratched.

He sensed something was wrong, so he summoned his spirit dog to search for it.

We need to find out where he went during those eighteen hours.

Finally, it was pointed out that he had stayed in room 309 for a long time.

The room still smelled of someone.

For the next two months, he tried hard to recall the images, but could only remember very vague scenes.

A man was kneeling in front of him, and he was holding the other person's waist...

But no matter what he did, he couldn't remember who that person was.

If something like this happened, the man he slept with probably wouldn't make a fuss. If he were the one being treated like this, he probably wouldn't want anyone to know for the rest of his life.

But today he smelled that person's scent.

His scent also had a characteristic odor that only pregnant women have.

Ji Qinian checked the information about this big shot.

Detailed information is unknown, but it is known that he recently became a viral sensation online, possesses strong superpowers, and has now joined the Bureau of Superpowers.

Leaving aside the night they spent together.

Someone as outstanding and powerful as him is someone Ji Qinian likes very much.

He thought it was fate.

However, it seems that the campaign has not gone well so far.

But it's okay, we should give each other some time.

At this moment, a cloud of black mist appeared in the center of the area surrounded by the crowd, and the black mist grew larger and larger.

Everyone got excited.

Yu Qing was also very excited. He had missed out on everything earlier, so he was determined to try and find something good this time.

The black mist rolled into a huge oval shape.

Suddenly, black energy exploded.

The ghostly aura sprayed out in all directions.

Many people were blown away by the ghostly aura.

After the ghostly aura dissipated, what appeared before everyone was a unicorn monster with a very long, hairy tail.

As soon as it came out, it swerved towards the crowd.

He flung a group of people away.

The unicorn monster has long hair on all four legs, and it looks quite fierce and handsome.

It's just too fierce.

It can also breathe fire.

It had just flicked its tail away one group of people when it breathed fire at another group.

Those who had been there before and were experienced had already run away, while the first-timers were screaming so loudly they were practically splitting their throats.

Yu Qing was analyzing the unicorn monster's weaknesses through his mask.

Zhou Fengyun had already run towards the unicorn monster.

Golden steps shimmered beneath his feet.

His long legs covered a distance of almost two meters in one stride.

In no time, he had reached the unicorn monster's side.

Zhou Fengyun jumped onto the monster's body and stood there.

The monster spotted it, leaped up quickly, and stood its entire massive body upright.

Standing on top, Zhou Fengyun seemed to defy gravity, running straight towards the monster's head.

The monster leaped a large step, landed quickly, and then jumped up again, trying to shake the person off it.

Zhou Fengyun gripped the golden sword, which pierced the monster's back to steady himself.

Among the surrounding superhumans, some unleashed ice-based superpowers at the monster's limbs.

Freeze his legs.

Vines entwined, and flames burned the monster's tail.

Ice spikes pierce the monster's head.

We all worked together to kill them.

Some people were even slacking off, hiding in the back and waiting to pick up the stuff.

Yu Qing grabbed the two swords and flew up.

The horn of the unicorn monster is a treasure.

Every time it breathes fire, the horn's energy display is at its strongest.

Yu Qing flew at high speed and arrived next to the monster's head in the blink of an eye.

The monster was too big, which made it clumsy.

By the time he reacted, Yu Qing had already brought down his knife.

The monster's horn was severed by a single stroke and flew off. Yu Qing caught it and flew away.

The monster was furious. It jumped around wildly, searching for Yu Qing's figure, and chased after him.

Yu Qing drew the monster's aggro away.

The other ability users around them were slow to realize what was happening.

"Holy crap! He took the monster with him!"

"Hurry and chase after him, or all the good stuff will be his."

How despicable!

Yu Qing flew ahead, the monster chased after him, and Zhou Fengyun was jostled around on the monster's neck, unable to move for a moment.

A large group of superhumans were running behind them.

However, they were too slow and were left further and further behind by the monster.

After flying for a while, Yu Qing felt he had gone far enough. He put the horn into his spatial storage and quickly turned around to attack the monster.

Snowflakes fell and landed on the monster's head, instantly freezing a hundred meters away.

The monster struggled and was passively turned into an ice sculpture.

Zhou Fengyun was lucky to jump fast, otherwise he would have been frozen too.

"There is a red crystal between her eyebrows!"

"Received!" Yu Qing raised his knife and thrust it into the monster's brow. With a swift motion, a large gash was cut into the monster's brow.

With a flick of his wrist, a red crystal flew out.

Yu Qing reached out to grab it.

At that moment, the monster broke free of the ice, and with a series of cracking sounds, the ice shattered into pieces.

It angrily opened its mouth wide, ready to bite Yu Qing.

"Watch out!" Zhou Fengyun stood on the monster's head, raised his golden sword, and forcefully stabbed it down at the monster's severed horn.

Yu Qing grabbed the red crystal, and the monster opened its huge mouth to bite his hand.

The moment Yu Qing stopped, the monster roared in agony.

It struggled to jump up and shook its head violently.

Zhou Fengyun lost his balance and was thrown off balance.

Yu Qing quickly flew over and caught Zhou Fengyun, who was flying towards him. The two spun around in the air several times before finally stabilizing themselves and landing on the ground.

"Thanks." As soon as Zhou Fengyun landed, he reached out and grabbed his arm, afraid that he would fall.

The monster jumped and roared before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

"Dead?" Yu Qing asked.

"Mm," Zhou Fengyun replied.

"That's not too difficult to kill."

"It's not that difficult, but if you don't take the crystal first, it will disappear after he dies. Also, many people don't know the secret: if you don't cut off the horns, even if you cut off the rest of his body, he won't die."

"Then I'm really lucky." Yu Qing stretched his hand behind him and pulled out a large horn that was as long as an arm.

Big Horn looks pretty cool.

"How did you know to cut off the horns?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

"I don't know, I just slashed randomly, consider this my spoils." Yu Qing tossed the heavy horn aside, then quickly put it behind him and hid it in his spatial storage.

Zhou Fengyun understood immediately: "You have a personal space."

Yu Qing's eyes darted around, but Zhou Fengyun couldn't see it; he only knew that Yu Qing remained silent.

That's the default.

Zhou Fengyun suddenly turned around and looked at him, "Then why did you make me carry your bag?"

Yu Qing turned to look at him, "Why are you so fussy?"

Zhou Fengyun's lips twitched; he was a little angry. He had treated Zhou Fengyun to so many meals for nothing, and Zhou Fengyun was, after all, the boss.

Yu Qing wouldn't tolerate his anger; let him be angry.

At this moment, the monster had already dissipated into ghostly energy.

The area around the corpse was full of treasures.

Yu Qing immediately abandoned Zhou Fengyun and flew over.

So many treasures!

He raised his hand and conjured a tornado, gathering all the treasures together.

I started by putting all the large crystals and some treasures whose purpose I didn't know into my space, leaving some small crystals for everyone to pick up.

Let them feel involved.

＊

Soon they received their second airdrop of supplies, this time including tents.

Although there are many ghosts and monsters in the secret realm, there are also safe places without them.

Some people don't rest at night; they continue to train and grind monsters.

Some people will find a safe place to sleep.

After all, there are still six days left.

Yu Qing and Zhou Fengyun found a good spot and set up their tent.

"Are you still going to grind monsters tonight?" Zhou Fengyun asked.

Are there any other monsters that drop big treasures?

"It's gone. It will be available tomorrow."

"Then I won't go, I'll get some rest." Yu Qing said, taking out the treasures from his spatial storage.

"What are all these for?"

Zhou Fengyun picked them up one by one.

Then categorize it.

"These are magical artifacts. This is a fire-type magical artifact, which can enhance your fire-type abilities several times over. This is a water-type magical artifact, and this is a metal-type magical artifact."

Zhou Fengyun held a lotus-shaped magical artifact that shone with a metallic luster, looking it over from side to side, clearly admiring it.

Metal-based magical artifacts are truly things that money can't buy.

"This is yours," Yu Qing said generously.

Zhou Fengyun's eyes lit up. "Really for me? This should sell for hundreds of millions."

Yu Qing waved his hand dismissively: "I can save up the money slowly. It's rare to find someone suitable for you. Of all these treasures, this is the only one that's gold-based."

Yu Qing was really lucky this time, getting several magical artifacts at once.

If gold-based magical artifacts can sell for hundreds of millions, are other magical artifacts just commonplace?

No, magical artifacts made of other elements can also fetch a high price.

It's just not as precious as the gold element.

The metal element has the strongest attack power and is indestructible; very few people awaken the metal element.

Metal-based magical artifacts and crystals are even rarer.

Yu Qing looked at the pile of large crystals in front of him.

They come in a variety of colors, with more than a dozen of each color, but there is only one gold one.

This shows just how low the drop rate for gold-type items is.

Yu Qing handed the only large gold crystal to Zhou Fengyun.

"This is for you too, the rest are mine."

Zhou Fengyun accepted the large gold-elemental crystal, a smile playing on his lips: "Okay."

Looking at Zhou Fengyun's smile, Yu Qing realized that this was the first time he had seen him smile so warmly in all the time he had known him.

His laugh was genuinely happy, unlike his usual sarcastic, whiny chuckle.

Yu Qing also laughed, but Zhou Fengyun couldn't see it.

Yu Qing seemed to remember something, and said "Hey!" while pointing to his mask.

When Zhou Fengyun looked over, he saw a pair of large, chibi-style eyes appear on the black face mask.

She blinked her big eyes, then narrowed them into crescent moons.

The little mouth below is smiling with a small V-shape.

So cute.

Zhou Fengyun chuckled and reached out to touch his mask.

"How come this function exists?"

Yu Qing asked, "Is it fun?"

Zhou Fengyun: "That's fun. Are there any other expressions?"

"Yes." Yu Qing showed him a variety of emojis.

They're all adorable chibi versions, very cute.

As Zhou Fengyun looked at him, he imagined the person inside the hood to be just as adorable.

After switching between many cute emojis, a funny face suddenly appeared.

Zhou Fengyun raised an eyebrow.

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Were you scared?"

Zhou Fengyun calmly replied, "I was scared, it was terrifying."

Yu Qing clicked his tongue and put the treasure back into his spatial storage.

Let's go see what supplies are available tonight.

"Oh, there's salt-baked chicken leg for dinner."

Chicken legs, milk, water, eggs, and takeout meals.

The boxed lunch contained honey-glazed char siu, soy sauce chicken, stir-fried pork slices with tofu skin, bean sprouts, and cabbage.

The meal was quite plentiful.

Zhou Fengyun put some of the meat from his own lunchbox into Yu Qing's bowl.

"If one person eats, three people will benefit from it, so you should eat more."

Yu Qing held the lunchbox in both hands, looking at the abundance of meat, and to be honest, he was a little touched!

"Thank you, Uncle, baby."

Zhou Fengyun gave another sarcastic chuckle.

While the two were eating, another fight broke out not far away.

Da da da...

The little mongrel dog ran over.

It wags its big, fluffy tail.

He came up to Yu Qing, lowered his head, opened his mouth, and spat.

A large bead of five or six colors fell out of its mouth.

Then it looked up at Yu Qing, wagging its tail even more enthusiastically, looking like it was waiting to be praised.

Yu Qing stuck his chopsticks into the rice and used one hand to pick up the large bead covered in saliva.

"Is this a crystal? It's so big! It's so beautiful."

Zhou Fengyun said, "This is the first time I've seen something like this... By the way, this seems to be the special ability of Gu Tuo, the new guy in the bureau. Doesn't it look like a lot of paint beads mixed together?"

"It looks like it." Yu Qing also thought it did. "Then give this to him."

"So generous?"

"Anyway, I don't need it, and neither do you, so let's give it to our colleague." Yu Qing shrugged and reached out to pat the little mongrel's head.

"Did your master send you?"

The little dog shook its head, turned around, and ran into the bushes next to them.

Yu Qing saw its big rear end swaying back and forth, wondering what it was digging for.

Curious, I got up and walked over, standing beside them while eating and watching.

Zhou Fengyun also came to take a look.

Two people were looking at a dog, digging and digging.

Soon, he unearthed a large crystal.

It picked it up, turned around, and placed it at Yu Qing's feet.

Yu Qing picked it up in surprise and looked at it, then looked at Zhou Fengyun: "You can dig up a large crystal from the ground?"

Zhou Fengyun was also surprised: "I had no idea."

Ji Qinian walked over from not far away at the right moment.

“The spirit dog has a very keen sense of smell; it can find the same type of crystal just by smelling its scent.”

Yu Qing glanced at Ji Qinian and then squatted down to pat the little mongrel's head.

"you are awesome."

The little dog's eyes lit up, and it circled twice in front of Yu Qing.

Yu Qing looked at Ji Qinian: "Can he eat human food?"

“Okay,” Ji Qinian replied.

Yu Qing fed the little dog a piece of soy sauce chicken.

The little dog wagged its tail as it ate.

"You're quite cute." Yu Qingyue liked the little mongrel more and more.

Small animals and children are all adorable little things.

“If you like, I can let him stay with you for a while,” Ji Qinian said.

Zhou Fengyun: "Cough."

This person is very clever.

"No, I don't have time to raise a dog." Yu Qing fed the little dog another piece of honey-glazed food and said, "If you eat mine, help me dig up a few more crystals."

The little dog was very obedient; it turned around and sniffed around, searching for the location of the crystal.

Yu Qing ate a few bites and then stopped, chasing after the little stray dog.

Zhou Fengyun glanced at Ji Qinian, then turned and followed Yu Qing.

Ji Qinian smiled and followed.

There are crystals in the ground, something that no one with superpowers has discovered in all these years.

The little dog led them to dig holes, and they dug right into the holes every time, finding large crystals.

They acted furtively to avoid being discovered.

Even if other superhumans saw it, they would assume they were just playing with a dog and wouldn't take it seriously.

Ji Qinian kept his distance from the two of them, his gaze fixed on Yu Qing.

You can't see the face, you can only see the body wrapped in a form-fitting bodysuit.

It seems to overlap with the scene in my memory, yet it doesn't quite.

But he was certain that the lingering smell in room 309 was his.

＊

In the following days, everyone's daily routine consisted of fighting and killing.

Almost everyone had a lot of crystals in their bags.

The ability users in the beginner area are generally able to unleash their skills smoothly.

The intruders have been hiding very well these past few days, and have not been discovered since the first day.

They didn't give up; they were just waiting, waiting for the last day.

On the seventh day, this group of people will leave, carrying with them the crystals and treasures they have accumulated over the past seven days.

No matter who you rob, you'll make a profit if you succeed.

Ji Qinian has been frequently seen around Yu Qing these past few days.

Because the little mongrel always clung to Yu Qing.

Yu Qingfei left, and the little dog quickly caught up with him by smell.

It understands when you tell it to dig for crystals, but it doesn't understand when you tell it to stop following you.

Yu Qing knew what Ji Qinian was thinking.

But it's hard to resist a little mongrel that wags its tail wildly at him.

——

Taking advantage of Yu Qing's absence, Zhou Fengyun came to Ji Qinian's side and watched Yu Qing in the distance with him.

How can you be sure the child in his belly is yours?

Ji Qinian: "We'll know whether it's true or not once it's born."

"You're doing it wrong."

Ji Qinian turned his head to look at him: "What's wrong with me?"

Zhou Fengyun said, "If you voluntarily donated sperm, how can you then go to someone who uses artificial insemination?"

Ji Qinian paused, his eyes filled with doubt, and asked, "He said he used artificial insemination?"

“Isn’t that right?” Zhou Fengyun’s eyes flashed with shrewdness.

Ji Qinian pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "No comment."

Yu Qing, who was some distance away, picked up another large crystal from the pit and looked back.

Both men had cunning and scheming expressions on their faces.

As soon as he approached, the two stopped exchanging glances and talking.

"You two have become good friends?" Yu Qing asked.

The two said in unison, "No."

Yu Qing: "What great teamwork."

Zhou Fengyun walked towards him, "What did you get this time?"

Yu Qing showed him the large crystal in his palm: "It's green, I can give it to Xiaohua."

"I thank you on his behalf."

"Don't mention it, it's more fun when we grow together." Yu Qing placed the crystal in Zhou Fengyun's hand.

Ji Qinian suddenly said warily, "There's a murderous aura about me."

The little dog barked twice in one direction.

Zhou Fengyun immediately picked up his backpack.

In that very instant.

The ground suddenly froze.

The sound of ice cubes freezing is very crisp.

Their feet were a little frozen.

Zhou Fengyun thrust his sword into the ice.

The surrounding ice shattered.

"Ice-type ability user".

Yu Qing reached out and took the bag from Zhou Fengyun's hand, then put it into his spatial storage.

Ji Qinian saw it; he had storage space.

He's really strong.

But there's no time for him to think about it now, "Little Huang."

Upon hearing its owner call, the dog immediately ran over and jumped into its owner's arms.

Ji Qinian held the spirit dog with one arm and took out a pagoda-shaped magic artifact with his free hand.

Ice spikes shot towards us from a distance.

Zhou Fengyun stepped forward, his golden shield blocking most of the ice spikes.

"You guys go first."

Yu Qing stepped onto the aircraft and flew in the direction from which the ice cones were shot.

Unsurprisingly, this was the ice-type ability user we encountered on the first day.

"You dare to come again?"

The superhuman replied without fear, "Of course I dare."

Yu Qing dodged the ice spikes that flew at him and quickly attacked him.

The superhuman gave a sly smile.

Suddenly, many vines sprouted from the ground and began to entangle Yu Qing.

A golden sword flew over from behind and cut down the vines for him.

Yu Qing glanced around and spotted the wood-type ability user hiding in the bushes.

Suddenly a dark figure flashed past him.

He turned around, but saw nothing.

The shadowy figure flashed past him again.

They deliberately tried to confuse him.

Fireballs erupted around Yu Qing, and several fireballs spun rapidly around him, burning anyone who got close to him to death.

Icicles rose from the ground one after another, obstructing Yu Qing.

Yu Qing was entangled with the ice element, the wood element, and another shadow for a while before realizing something was wrong; they seemed to be trying to trip him up.

——

At this moment, Zhou Fengyun's communicator crackled to life: "Captain Zhou, there are a lot of intruders here. They're really tough. We need backup. I'll send you the coordinates."

Ji Qinian: "Captain Zhou, you go support them, I'll support him."
