Chapter 253: Pregnancy and Death
Chapter 253
Chu Yang was taken aback, "Ahem, the problem has been resolved."
Li Yong and the others then walked out smiling, "Thank you, thank you. That thing just now was..."
Chu Yang explained, "It was a monster called 'Ying'. You wouldn't understand if I explained too much, so let's just say the issue is resolved."
Li Yong asked, "Will there be more of them?"
Chu Yang pondered for a moment, "I need to investigate further."
"Alright."
Chu Yang was actually quite puzzled about why there would be a "Ying" here.
After resolving the issue, she returned home and immediately began flipping through books to research. "Ying" - fond of rotting flesh, evil corpse, with the intelligence of a small child.
On the weekend, Chu Yang wanted to visit Lingqiu Mountain again, so she told Chi Yan, "I want to go to Lingqiu Mountain one more time."
"I'll accompany you," he replied.
"Okay."
On the weekend, the two climbed Lingqiu Mountain again. Chu Yang looked at the distant mountaintop. Although there were many green trees, she could sense an aura of death.
She pointed there and asked, "Ah Yan, what's over there?"
Chi Yan, who had investigated the area before, replied, "That seems to be a graveyard. It's the place where we encountered Zhu Ying before."
Chu Yang suddenly realized, "Of course, that pile of corpses that Zhu Ying somehow made crawl out... 'Ying' likes rotting flesh and evil corpses. So those corpses have all turned into evil corpses now because of Zhu Ying's spell?"
Even the "Ying" was attracted here against the natural order.
Chu Yang had read about evil corpses in books. If left unchecked, they could cause endless trouble. Although they wouldn't turn into zombies or crawl out to harm people, a large number of evil corpses absorbing negative energy would cause the surrounding area to become engulfed in dark energy. This could affect people's minds, causing them to become unlucky, less intelligent, mentally unstable, and irritable.
As for the solution, it would be best to ask Ming Wu Master.
Chu Yang told Chi Xin about her findings. Chi Xin first went to consult Ming Wu Master, then relayed the information to Li Yong.
"So what method should we use?" Li Yong asked.
"Ah, it's very simple. Just use virgin boy urine. The more, the better."
"..."
With the problem solved, life returned to normal.
Chi Bai had been recuperating in the hospital all this time. He appeared to be in decent health, but everyone knew they were just waiting for the inevitable.
Chu Yang went to school every day, and after classes, she would go to the hospital with Chi Yan to visit the old man. When they arrived, they often found the old man sitting in the garden chatting with Chi Xin.
Chi Yan and Chu Yang walked over. "What are Grandpa and Uncle talking about? You seem so happy."
Chi Xin looked at them and said with a smile, "I was asking the old man what names he would choose for your future children."
Chi Bai also smiled, "I need to think about it carefully. Bring me a dictionary, I'll look through it later."
Chi Yan was delighted: "Yes, we should consider it carefully. Think of a name for a boy and a name for a girl."
Chu Yang: ... She wasn't even pregnant yet.
However, the three men had already happily started discussing it.
Chu Yang: ... Well, as long as they're happy.
After chatting for a while, the doctor came to do a check-up, and everyone wheeled the old man back to his room.
A week later, when Chi Yan and Chu Yang went to visit the old man, Chi Bai happily said, "I've chosen the names. Take a look."
Chi Yan and Chu Yang looked at the note: Boy: Chi Jiaran, Girl: Chi Jiaran.
"What do you think?"
Chi Yan and Chu Yang thought they were quite good and had no objections. Chu Yang just felt a bit awkward... she wasn't even pregnant yet, but the names were already chosen. It was somewhat amusing, but then she realized the old man didn't have much time left, which made her feel sad.
The old man wouldn't be able to see...
Over the next two months, the old man was admitted to the ICU twice. He no longer had the strength to speak.
Chu Yang had used her healing abilities on him several times, but the effect was only to ease his pain a little.
One evening, it was Chi Lei's turn to take care of the old man. Chi Xin also came over after work. Chi Yan and Chu Yang had visited in the afternoon and then returned home.
The housekeeper served dinner. They were having steamed fish tonight. Chi Yan first placed a piece of fish on Chu Yang's plate, but she frowned and then gagged a little.
Instantly, everyone turned to look at her. Chu Yang covered her mouth and said, "I think my stomach feels a bit off."
Chi Yan immediately had someone pour her a cup of hot water. "Uncle Li, call the doctor to come and check on her."
"Yes, sir."
The others also looked concerned, "Are you alright?"
Chu Yang smiled at him, "I'm fine." However, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt another wave of nausea and quickly stood up, turning towards the bathroom.
Xia Qin, who was nearby, looked at the fish and then at Chu Yang running to the bathroom. "Could she be pregnant?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately rushed to the bathroom, while Chi Yan had already followed her there.
Chu Yang retched a couple of times but didn't bring anything up. The bathroom smelled okay, and she felt a bit better. Seeing Chi Yan's worried face, she said, "I'm fine."
Zhao Yun came over and asked her quietly, "How long has it been since your last period?"
Chu Yang thought for a moment, "It's a week late." Then, realizing something, she touched her belly. No way...
The doctor arrived quickly and after an examination, confirmed that she was indeed pregnant...
Chu Yang remembered a month ago when they were being intimate. Chi Yan had fumbled in the drawer for a long time before finally finding the last box. He had even said, "Seems like we're using them too quickly. I'll stock up next time."
Chu Yang had been a bit exasperated, but then thought about how the old man had already chosen names for their children. So she said, "We don't need it tonight. If we hit the jackpot, it's meant to be!"
Chi Yan was of course happy not to use protection, and that night he was particularly excited. After all, the feeling with and without was quite different, with the sensation being more intense without.
The next day, Chu Yang somewhat regretted it, as someone had been a bit too enthusiastic!
It must have been that time when they hit the jackpot...
"Quick, quick, call and tell the old man!"
"Let's go to the hospital for a check-up first."
"Right, right."
Suddenly everyone was bustling about, except for Chi Yan who stood there in a daze. He carefully embraced Chu Yang and touched her belly, "Really?"
Chu Yang laughed at his foolish expression, "Silly, it's true."
"Let's go to the hospital right away."
They went to the same hospital where the old man was staying. The pregnancy was quickly confirmed. The whole family happily went to the old man's room. Chi Xin and Chi Lei were a bit confused, "Why are you all here? Did something happen at home?"
Zhao Yun, holding Chu Yang's hand, said with a smile, "Yang Yang is pregnant."
"Really!" Chi Xin was overjoyed. Two months ago, the old man had talked to him about choosing names for the child, and now there really was a child!
"Quick, tell Dad."
"Dad is resting now, let's wait until he wakes up. Come, niece-in-law, sit down and rest."
In an instant, Chu Yang became as precious as a national treasure.
When the old man regained some consciousness, Chi Yan brought her in to share the good news.
The old man became excited immediately, holding their hands. He seemed to have a burst of energy, his spirit improving a bit. "Good!"
Chi Yan and Chu Yang, seeing his reaction, felt like crying.
Two weeks later, the old man was rushed to the emergency room once again... But this time, when the doctor came out, he shook his head.
Chi Corporation issued an obituary that day...
