Chapter 200 Have you really decided?
"This bloody road was opened in the Anan tribe. My grandfather opened it for the former emperor of Zhao. The former emperor of Zhao led a hundred people, and all of them died on that road. This allowed the former emperor of Zhao to reach the Yutian Kingdom."
Jiang Yao frowned, thinking of Zhao Qi's unreliable look, and was a little unconvinced: "The old man is not that kind of person."
"Yes, he is indeed not that kind of person," Lan Ke said. "He originally intended to take those people with him to the Yutian Kingdom, but the divine beast that opened this road feeds on humans. He had promised to let the former emperor of Zhao pass safely, but instead ate everyone he brought along along the way."
"My grandfather didn't know what happened after that. He said that perhaps the former emperor of Zhao was also eaten by the mythical beast. But not long ago, he was seen alive. I don't know what happened to him."
"So the former emperor of Zhao knew how to get to Yutian Kingdom?" Honglin asked.
Jiang Yao shook his head: "He doesn't know, or maybe he knows but has forgotten."
After spending so much time with Zhao Qi, she realized that he was not crazy, but had something similar to Alzheimer's disease. He could not remember things that happened a long time ago, especially those related to the Yutian Kingdom.
"I know this road." Lan Ke said in a deep voice, then looked at Jiang Yao and asked, "Do you want to know?"
Jiang Yao was stunned and put his hand on his lower abdomen and stroked it back and forth.
"The road that cost a hundred lives is too heavy."
But.
If she didn't go to Yutian Kingdom, she would not be able to protect this child.
"Is there no other way?" Honglin suddenly thought of something and took Jiang Yao's hand: "Don't you have spiritual power? Can't you use your spiritual power to protect the child?"
Jiang Yao shook his head repeatedly: "I've tried, he needs more spiritual power, not the spiritual power from the mother body."
She had thought about using spiritual power to nourish the baby in her belly, but it was useless. Her spiritual power was not inexhaustible. She was no longer a Zhao citizen, and she also needed spiritual power to maintain her own functions so that she could better conceive a child. However, the child needed not only nutrition from the mother, but also spiritual power from the outside world.
But Zhao State has no spiritual power.
"So, Jiang Yao, we don't want this child." Honglin persuaded her again: "That man has left and will not come back. Why keep his child and make yourself suffer?"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "But I want to keep the child, not because of Su Qianji, but because I have no relatives in this world. He is my only relative, and I don't want to live here alone."
Honglin hugged her and sobbed, "But it hurts to see you suffer."
Jiang Yao patted her gently: "I'm not suffering, I don't feel any pain or itchiness."
"Honglin, please go for a walk with me."
She had been using her spiritual power to feed her child these past few days and hadn't left the house. Today, she finally felt better and wanted to go out for a walk.
Honglin helped her walk around outside.
"Jiang Yao, are you really not feeling unwell?"
She was visibly thinner, and Honglin was very worried.
Jiang Yao shook his head: "I'm just tired and sleepy, nothing else."
She stroked her belly and smiled faintly, "He's been very well behaved. I didn't even have morning sickness."
"You've done all this for him. If he doesn't behave, he'll get spanked."
Jiang Yao was amused by her. Looking up, he saw a family kneeling at the door, worshipping something.
"Honglin, what are you doing?"
Honglin took a look and said, "A baby has been born. They are thanking God for the safety of mother and child."
After saying that, he regretted it: "Jiang Yao, let's go back."
Jiang Yao held her back and said, "Honglin, can you please ask me if I can see the child?"
"What's so good about children?" Honglin saw that she was like this and didn't want her to see the child again.
Jiang Yao looked at her pleadingly: "I want to see it, Honglin, please."
Honglin couldn't stand her look at all. He sighed and went to discuss with the family.
The family's surname is Feng. They are a very simple family. When they heard that Jiang Yao wanted to see the baby, they came forward to greet her.
Jiang Yao walked in with a smile and asked Grandma Feng beside him: "Grandma Feng, is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a girl." Grandma Feng smiled from ear to ear.
Jiang Yao saw the newborn baby, which was wrinkled and a little ugly. She didn't dare to hold it. Under the guidance of Grandma Feng, she hugged the little ball.
"Honglin, look, she just opened her eyes and looked at me."
Honglin nodded, as if there was something stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word, her eyes were wet.
Grandma Feng said, "You are as pretty as a fairy. You look like a kind person. Your children will also be very beautiful in the future."
Jiang Yao held the baby's soft hand, with tenderness in his eyes: "We don't know whether it's a boy or a girl yet."
Grandma Feng was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Miss, are you pregnant too?"
"Yeah, more than three months."
Grandma Feng took the baby in her arms, pulled out her little hand, and bent down to put it on Jiang Yao's belly: "Little baby, chubby, grow up and go out obediently."
As she said this, she also put the child's face against Jiang Yao's belly.
"Grandma Feng, what does this mean?"
"This is a custom of our Anan tribe. If a pregnant woman comes to see a baby who is less than a month old, and the baby is easy to give birth to, she can touch him like this. Then you, the girl, will also be able to give birth to a baby."
Honglin was afraid that she would burst into tears, so she stepped forward and pulled Jiang Yao up: "It's getting late, we should go back."
Jiang Yao stared at the baby for a while, but didn't stay too long. He said goodbye to Grandma Feng and followed Honglin back.
"Honglin, I want to give birth to this child."
Honglin was shocked. "How can this be possible? It's only been three months and you're already so weak. How can you possibly survive another seven months?"
"So I decided, I'm going to Yutian Kingdom."
Honglin was silent for a long while before he said, "I'll ask Lan Ke to come and talk to you."
This was Jiang Yao's decision. She knew how important the child was to her, so she couldn't say no.
Lan Ke also asked her: "Have you really decided?"
"It's decided."
"That road was paved with the lives of a hundred people."
Lan Ke asked again, but he knew in his heart that if Jiang Yao asked, he could give her a hundred lives.
Jiang Yao gazed at the horizon, pondering for a long moment before saying, "I've thought carefully about what you said. You said Zhao Qi took a hundred people to Yutian Kingdom, but they were all eaten by the divine beast. What if I didn't take anyone with me?"
Lan Ke frowned: "Then the beast will target you."
"So this is a big gamble." Jiang Yao said solemnly, "My spiritual power is not weak, but it is difficult to maintain in Zhao State. I gambled that if I go to Yutian State, my spiritual power can be used normally. Maybe I can fight against the beast and avoid becoming its food."
