Chapter 111 Pregnancy Rawhide Chapter 03
Xue Qi and Cao Feng have been busy this month trying to find a way to bring Pipi back, even to the point of not sleeping.
Over the past month, the two have been severely sleep-deprived.
Because of this, Xue Qi's body was overdrawn, and after having early pregnancy reactions, she fainted in the bathroom.
Fortunately, she had the halo of the heroine, so she didn't have a miscarriage.
Xue Qi's relatives had been acting abnormally for the past two months, and she thought it was due to lack of sleep and physical exhaustion, but she never imagined it was because of pregnancy.
Plus, I was so worried about how to get Pipi back that I didn't think about this matter.
They had almost never avoided pregnancy from the beginning, and had always taken a natural approach to pregnancy.
After all, their financial conditions are enough to provide their children with a good educational environment. After having Pippi, they are also ready to be parents and feel that raising another child will be a happy and joyful thing.
They had imagined the joy of pregnancy countless times.
Cao Feng had thought many times that he would be like many new fathers, picking up his wife and spinning around excitedly.
But now, due to his wife's fragile state, not only did she not dare to let him hold her and spin around, she couldn't even get excited and was filled with worry.
He had never expected that he would get pregnant at such a critical moment.
Seeing the two of them were stunned, the doctor added:
"I'm more than two months pregnant, and the fetus is still not very stable, so I have to rest and replenish my body's nutrition. After all, this stage is when the fetus is most vulnerable, so I must not take it lightly. Pregnant mothers should pay special attention to this, as this stage is also when you are most vulnerable."
The husband Cao Feng didn't show any excited reaction to the doctor's words.
She had also watched the variety show between the two. In her impression, Cao Feng loved Xue Qi so much. Shouldn't he be excited at this time?
But she saw a lot of worry on Cao Feng's face.
The woman looked at Cao Feng and noticed that something was wrong with the man's reaction. She asked tentatively, "Mr. Cao, you don't seem very happy?"
Cao Feng shook his head and explained, "I'm not unhappy, but I can't be happy either. Not long ago, our eldest daughter was kidnapped by bad people. My wife and I have been in very bad shape recently and haven't had enough rest. I'm worried that my wife won't be able to handle the birth of this child at this time. I'm also worried that she might get emotional and cause something unexpected."
Pippi’s disappearance could not be concealed from the outside world.
After all, the little girl is a celebrity, and the disappearance of a child out of thin air must be explained to the outside world.
On the day Pippi left this world, Cao Feng chose to call the police.
On the one hand, they held onto a certain hope, thinking that Pipi might return in some other way, or perhaps lose his powers and find his way back, drifting to another corner of the world. Then, who knows, maybe the police or kind-hearted people would be able to inform them.
Secondly, Pipi's disappearance can be concealed for a month or two, but not for too long. If she really can't come back, she must give Pipi's fans an explanation.
The doctor didn't expect this to be the reason and said, "Oh my God, a little girl like Pipi is so cute, how could she go missing? Could she have been kidnapped by some bad guys? Mr. Cao, don't worry too much. No news is the best news at the moment. At least it proves that she is still alive."
Cao Feng nodded: "Yes."
The doctor comforted her, saying, "Based on the results of the previous examination, the fetus is developing normally. Medical technology is advanced nowadays, so Ms. Cao has nothing to worry about. Just come for regular prenatal checkups and let the pregnant woman rest well."
Cao Feng nodded: "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor was afraid that his talkativeness would disturb the two, so in order to give them a quiet space, he chose to leave the ward and said, "Stay in the hospital for observation overnight. If there is no problem tonight, you can be discharged tomorrow."
After sending the doctor away, Cao Feng looked at Xue Qi. He knew exactly what she was thinking and understood how she felt at the moment.
Pippi was still trapped in another world, and right now, at this critical juncture, they were in a relatively tense period. They probably didn't have much energy to nurture a new life at this critical juncture.
Especially since Xue Qi is weak now, worrying about Pipi and the Dragon System may bring danger to this fragile new life.
In order to prevent Xue Qi from worrying, Cao Feng proposed a solution:
"Don't worry about Pipi's affairs yourself for now. There are some things I can do on my own. Recently, you should stay at home and take good care of your health. I will let Taotie and An Yin accompany you. As for Mo Jiashan and Qi Qin, I will have someone keep a close eye on them. I will let you know when there is any news."
Xue Qi raised her head and looked at her husband, choked up, and said with a firm face:
"You must tell me if you have any news. You can't hide it. I will monitor my body at all times and won't let anything happen to it. I promise you that I will take good care of myself and the baby in my belly. I will protect the new life we are nurturing together and will not give up on Pipi. I will not give up even the slightest chance. I will do everything in my power to bring her back. I will not let her stay alone in that world, lose her parents, and become an orphan."
Xue Qi still remembers how much the little girl longed to have a father and mother when she first met Pippi, and how much she longed to live in this world like an ordinary child.
She wants to go to kindergarten, eat KFC with her parents, go on picnics, go shopping, and watch movies.
Because of their busy work schedule, the couple has never had the chance to take Pippi to the mall, go on an outing, or watch Boonie Bears in the cinema.
He didn't even take her to eat some fried chicken at KFC and give her a large cup of Coke.
When Xue Qi thought about this, he felt that he owed Pipi too much.
She didn't want to miss any opportunity. As long as the Dragon System still existed in this world, they were not without hope.
Cao Feng knew what his wife was thinking.
He leaned over, took his wife from the hospital bed into his arms, kissed her forehead, and whispered comfortingly:
"Okay. I won't let go of any opportunity, even the smallest one. I will accompany you to find our Pipi. No matter where she is, I will go with you, even if it means losing everything I have."
Xue Qi's eyes welled up with tears as she looked at her husband, feeling deeply moved:
"Butler Cao, thank you for being with me at this time. Thank you for your unconditional support. Thank you for accepting that Pipi is our biological daughter. Thank you for believing that we have a past life."
Although they used the marriage rope to see their past lives, the plots of those past lives were more like movie and TV scenes playing in their minds.
Even if they believe it is true, it is after all something that happened in their previous life.
The previous life is the previous life, and this life is this life.
In this life, they have no empathy for that experience.
For them now, it was just an image, not even a memory.
From the very beginning, it was Xue Qi who wanted to adopt Pippi, and Cao Feng only appeared in this marriage as a tool.
Cao Feng could have ended this marriage that started with a "tool man" at any time, and there was no need for him to worry about so many troubles.
He could have simply ignored her and Pippi's affairs and withdrawn at any time.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he stayed by her side, still standing by her side as before, shouldering the responsibilities left over from this life and the previous one.
So far, she does not think that she and Cao Feng are the male and female protagonists. They are more like an ordinary couple who overcome difficulties together.
Today, Cao Feng is no longer the cold and indifferent tool he used to be, but a husband and father with flesh and blood and a sense of responsibility.
Xue Qi fell asleep under Cao Feng's care and slept for several hours in a deep sleep.
She had a very real dream.
In her dream, Pippi woke up on a green lawn, and a sika deer with colorful light on its head licked her awake.
Little Pippi rubbed his eyes with his chubby little hands and looked around sleepily.
She was surprised and delighted to see her old friend.
The little girl hugged the colorful deer's neck and said, "Grandma Deer! Pipi misses you!"
All the animals in the mountains gathered around and looked at the little Pixiu in shock.
A rhinoceros spirit nudged her with its horn, and to make sure it wasn't an illusion, it asked, "Little Pipi, weren't you thrown into the bottomless cliff by the mountain spirit next door? How did you climb up?"
Pippi scratched his little head, remembered something, stood up, pushed away the herd of animals, and stumbled towards the bottomless cliff.
Reaching the edge of the cliff, she shouted toward the black mist below, "77 Mom! Fenfen Dad! Can you hear Pipi?"
Pippi was so excited that he even wanted to jump down again, but the elephant demon hooked his nose and tied him back.
The animal spirits talked at once:
"You silly child! You finally came back, why are you still doing stupid things?"
"Little Pipi, you're finally back! Your Aunt Peacock made a golden feather coat and said she'd give it to you if you could come back alive! Go find your Aunt Peacock and give her a surprise!"
"And your uncle the Leopard King, he killed the black bear demon on the next hill for you. He said that if you can come back alive, he will allow you to enter his treasure cave and take whatever you want! He can even use his leopard skin to make clothes!"
"My dear Pipi, let Aunt Hippo take a look at you. Are you hurt? Aunt Hippo just went to Xuanzong a few days ago and stole a treasure! Here it is for you!"
"Good Pipi, Aunt Monkey also has treasures, come..."
The mountain elves surrounded Pippi and chattered in a flurry, constantly stuffing treasures into her arms.
Everyone knows that when a Pixiu is injured, the best way to heal her is to let her eat gold, silver and treasures.
In just half a day, Pippi collected a whole cave of treasures, and the cave was filled with splendor and gold.
Late at night, Pippi leaned on the colorful deer, holding her bloated belly, and told the deer about her experience.
She asked, "Auntie Qicailu, you've lived for ten thousand years. Do you know any way to return to Mom and Dad's world? Pipi misses them so much. I miss 77's mom, Fenfen's dad, my brothers, and my friends... I don't know if they're doing well."
The colorful deer lowered its head, rubbed its mouth against Little Pipi's head, exhaled, and whispered:
"The passage between the two worlds has been closed and cannot be opened again."
Pippi looked lost.
But she still did not give up. She picked up an infinite rope from the Leopard King's treasure house, put the rope into the bottomless cliff, and climbed to the depths of the cliff alone while the mountain elves were asleep in the dead of night.
I don’t know how long I climbed, but the rope rubbed the little boy’s palms, leaving them bloody and mangled.
There was an alternation of extreme cold and heat below, and Pippi's body suffered from the baptism of extreme temperatures. Eventually, he became exhausted, passed out, and continued to fall.
When she woke up again, she was back on the cliff and was taken back to the cave by the colorful ostrich.
…
Xue Qi dreamed of this and woke up almost crying.
This dream was so real that she could even clearly feel that little Pippi wanted to come back, but she could only watch from a God's perspective and could not help her.
She is cold and we can't give her more clothes.
She was overheated and there was no cooling available.
When Xue Qi woke up, Cao Feng was washing the water cup for her in the bathroom. She sat up and looked at the empty ward. She felt empty all over and tears kept flowing down her face.
At this moment, she saw a line of red subtitles appear in the air:
[The heroine Xue Qi is separated from her daughter from her previous life. Does she want her to come back? ]
Xue Qi didn't expect that he would be able to see subtitles that didn't belong to anyone when no one was around.
She nodded, making sure it wasn't an illusion.
Of course!
In your past two lives, you were affected by the Shenlong virus, forcing you to be separated from your daughter and even tragically dying in your previous life. In this life, by becoming the antivirus software for the main god system, you temporarily balanced the Shenlong virus, giving you the opportunity to meet your daughter again.
[Currently, in order to recover, the Shenlong system is constantly devouring other viruses to strengthen itself.]
If you want the Pixiu to return, you must stop the Shenlong system from interfering with the world again and destroy it.
Xue Qi asked: "If we destroy the Shenlong System, can our family be reunited?"
The subtitles were silent for a while before they began to appear again:
After destroying the Shenlong System, you can exchange your gold finger and the Heroine's Halo for a space-time portal. The reopened space-time portal will use your body as a medium to return the Pixiu. If you lose the Heroine's Halo, you will no longer be protected by it and will return to being an ordinary person. Are you willing to give up everything you have?
Xue Qi said without hesitation: "I do."
[The Lord God system successfully entered the will.]
If you successfully complete the mission, the Pixiu will return to you in its original form. Due to the immense power of the portal, while it's open, you cannot go to the hospital or let anyone else know of its existence. Otherwise, the portal will fail, and not only will the birth fail, but the Pixiu will also lose its chance to return.
If the Pixiu returns, it will retain its three-and-a-half-year-old body. The pain you endure will be several times greater than that of an ordinary person. Are you sure you want to exchange the time-space gate and use your body as a medium to bring the Pixiu back?
Xue Qi nodded: "Yes. I am willing."
[The Lord God system successfully entered the will.]
Xue Qi probably guessed how Pippi would come back.
The fact that she is pregnant now is not accidental, but an opportunity given to her by the Lord God System.
Not to mention enduring pain that is several times greater than that of an ordinary person, even if it is dozens of times, as long as she can bear it, she is willing to do so.
-
Around 3 p.m., the teenagers and Sun Fugui came to the hospital to see Xue Qi.
The boys were very excited when they learned that Xue Qi was pregnant.
Sun Shaoqi was particularly excited. He even shouted happily, regardless of being in the hospital ward: "Oh my god, I'm going to be a brother! I'm going to be a brother! I'm going to have a sister again!"
He was so excited that he didn't pay attention to his wording, and the word "again" made everyone silent.
He noticed that everyone was looking at him, and immediately quieted down. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom. I'm sorry. I... I have a foul mouth."
Cao Yue sighed and looked at Xue Qi comfortingly:
"Seventh Sister, Pipi has gone to another world. You should try to let go of the past. I believe that if Pipi were still alive, she wouldn't want you to work so hard. You must take good care of yourself. The Shenlong System is hiding in the dark. It's not advisable for you to go out on your own. If she plots against you, the loss will outweigh the gain."
Chu Xing also said:
"Yes, taking care of yourself is the most important thing right now! Pippi has simply returned to the world she once lived in. That's her hometown, the land she's familiar with. She's so kind and lovely, she should have friends over there too, so don't worry too much."
A while ago, Sun Fugui had been on a business trip. When he learned that something had happened to Pipi, he hurried back to visit Xue Qi and Cao Feng.
Xue Qi has probably lost 7 or 8 kilograms now and looks haggard. Even Cao Feng is visibly listless. The couple has completely lost their former spirit.
Sun Fugui didn't know how to comfort her, so he said:
"77, maybe this is God's will? You didn't get pregnant earlier, didn't get pregnant later, but you got pregnant at this critical juncture. Isn't this God telling you something? Maybe this is a gift from Pippi, a hint from Pippi that you should let go of the past and start a new life."
Having said that, I still can’t let go.
Xue Qi's lips curled up as she whispered, "Thank you, everyone. I know you're trying to comfort me, and I accept your kindness. Manager Cao and I agree. The baby in her belly is ours, and Pippi is ours, too. We don't want to give up. We know what's going on, and we'll do everything in our power to protect them."
According to the Lord God System's prompts, she guessed that she could probably get Pipi back by giving birth. However, after giving birth, she would lose the heroine's halo and the golden finger.
By then, her body will be a space-time portal.
But she couldn't imagine how she could give birth to a three and a half year old body.
Sun Fugui thought she was still stubborn and couldn't come out of it, so he said:
"Little Pippi has returned to her own world. She might be fine there, maybe even happier than here. All you have to do now is take good care of yourself and treat the new life in your belly well."
Xue Qi remembered the dream.
Pippi is loved by many mountain elves in that world, but at the same time, Pippi is trying every possible way to come back.
The little girl is trying hard, and she can't give up.
Her voice was low and she spoke without much strength:
"Old Sun, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and won't let anything happen to me. I will also make sure to rest well from now on. If Pipi really thinks her old world is happier, then I will respect her, but we can't just take our thoughts as facts. What if she misses us and wants to come back? Because this possibility exists, we have to work hard to create opportunities for her."
Sun Fugui was also filled with emotion when he heard her say this.
He thought of Pippi's voice, appearance and smile, and of the well-behaved little chubby girl who would eat quietly and never make a noise.
Whenever he thought of the chubby little girl who would rub her little head in his palm, complex emotions kept welling up in his heart, making him feel bad and reluctant to let go.
Sun Fugui stopped trying to persuade her and simply said, "Well, take good care of yourself. If you need any financial support, tell me. As long as I have it, I will give you my utmost help. We are friends. If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I, Sun Fugui, will sell everything I have and will help you even if it means my death!"
"good."
…
Coming out of Xue Qi's ward, the teenagers still looked worried.
Sun Shaoqi sighed and said, "I'm really worried about their current state. Will there really be any problems? I've never seen Qi's mother like this. In my impression, she seems to be able to handle any big thing."
Cao Yue also frowned and said, "I've never seen my uncle like this before. In my memory, my uncle has never been so depressed even when he was in the most difficult time."
The young men sighed in unison, and then looked at Taotie who was held in Sun Shaoqi's arms.
Taotie also sighed and said, "Don't look at me. I've thought of every possible solution for them. The problem now is that there's simply no solution. Not only me, but even Tian Xin is helpless. The passage between the two worlds has been closed. It's impossible for Pixiu Sister to come back, unless there's a miracle."
Everyone was silent again.
Cao Yue had a resolute expression on his face, already looking somewhat mature and composed.
"This world is not without miracles. We are the miracle created by Happy Food. Seven Mom is our miracle. As long as we haven't found the Shenlong System, we haven't lost our last hope."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Sun Shaoqi's eyes, and he almost shouted, "Yes, we are the miracle. Now Qi's mother is unwell, and Fen's father can't leave. Since we can help catch ghosts, why can't we help them shoulder this important responsibility? Can a mere Shenlong system be more terrifying than ghosts?"
Taotie whispered, "They're not as scary as ghosts, but they're much more powerful than ghosts..."
Cao Yue asked in return: "That being said, how can we help them?"
Chu Xing thought for a moment and said, "Our only known target right now is Mo Jiashan. If we want to contact him, we must have a reasonable intermediary. And this intermediary cannot be a virus that has infected this world, nor can it be an awakened villain or cannon fodder. We need to use this intermediary to reasonably approach Mo Jiashan."
Taotie wagged his tail, tilted his head, and asked, "But where can I find this agent?"
The young men all looked up at the silent Sun Fugui.
He has been hanging out with the teenagers recently and has learned the truth about the villain in Happy Gourmet Awakening, as well as the daring act of the teenagers and Taotie going ghost hunting.
The man looked puzzled:
"Why are you looking at me? I'm nothing like you. You're awakened villains, and I'm just the villain's father! I don't have the hero's halo, and I'm not even cannon fodder. If I were to go up against the Dragon System, wouldn't I be easily crushed to death and reduced to ashes? No, I can't die. I haven't found a stepmother for my son yet, and I'm still a virgin. I can't die young."
Sun Shaoqi sighed, held his forehead, and said helplessly:
"Dad! Can you please stop being such a coward? You're my dad! How could I, such a hero, have such a cowardly dad like you? Do you have the heart to watch Seven's mom and Fen's dad be heartbroken? Do you have the heart to watch Pipi become an orphan in another world? Is your so-called greatest support just throwing money around? That's the kind of shabby behavior only the rich would do! We don't need financial support right now. Who among us here is short of money? We need you to spend a lot of courage! Courage!"
Sun Fugui wanted to kneel down to these sons, and sighed in his heart, these young men are really fearless like newborn calves, and they don’t know how precious life is!
As a rich, handsome, and virgin, life is so difficult!
Cao Yue used provocation to say, "Forget it, don't force Uncle Sun. After all, he is just a timid passerby. In this world, he can't play any decisive role."
This trick was particularly effective on the extremely proud Sun Fugui. He puffed out his chest and said, "A small lever can move the earth. Who says that ordinary people like us can't play a decisive role? Don't you know about the butterfly effect? A butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tsunami. I, Sun Fugui, can make the Shenlong System kneel at my feet and call me daddy with just a flick of my finger!"
