Mo Qiang is unconsciousMo Qiang wasn't being greedy instead she was being practical, though she was lucky today. Something like this happened only once in a blue moon, what if she ended up getting into trouble with another mutated animal?
And it was surely going to happen as neither she nor Xiao Jiao were going to stop their nature revival plans. So, Mo Qiang was in desperate need of levelling up her king of the jungle aura lest she was to face another animal like this turtle tuber.
The turtle tuber did not move, she only stared at Mo Qiang just as Mo Qiang was thinking that the turtle tuber was going to snap that gigantic mouth of hers and bit her head off, the turtle tuber turned her neck and then picked out a big tuber that resembled an oval miniature boulder, with veins etched on it.
The turtle tuber clutched the tuber with her mouth before twisting her neck slowly around and then letting go of the slimy boulder.
Seeing the boulder drop, alarm bells started to run in Mo Qiang's head as she pushed the baby turtle tuber on the ground and rushed to catch the tuber. If it falls on the ground then she was going to become a goner!
Mo Qiang did not fancy the boulder exploding and poisoning her in a manner where she will lie in this cave for the next seven days and thus jumped in the air before cradling the boulder in her arms like it was a bomb.
"Humph!" Mo Qiang caught the tuber just in the nick of time but before she could heave a sigh of relief she realised that she had no wings on her back and without no damned wings on her back there was no way she could stay hanging mid-air. Which meant —— all hail gravity!
" AHHHH!" Mo Qiang screamed as she twisted in the air and stretched her hands out making sure that the tuber will not receive any impact.
And since she was in no movie with no one taking extra shots of her grand fall, Mo Qiang's back smacked on the concrete floor quite soon.
Thud.
With a bone-crushing noise, Mo Qiang hit the ground. The impact of her fall was so hard that her hands trembled but even so, she tried her best to make sure that her trembling hands wouldn't affect the tuber in any way, in case it exploded—— she was going to remain stuck here in this cave for seven days!
But the thing about unlucky people was that no matter how much they were away from the edge of death somewhere something will happen and they will die. Like if a man was hanging onto a cliff for his dear life at the north pole but if he was unlucky, he will die because somebody pulled a chair at the South Pole ——the moral of the story is if you are unlucky, you are dying no matter how bad you try.
And because Mo Qiang was in a group of unfortunate souls, the thing that she did not wish to happen was bound to happen. Thus, even if she somehow managed to save the tuber from receiving an impact at the cost of her body, something still triggered it. And the thing was ——
A teeny tiny piece of startite's orb.
Mo Qiang: Fck my life.
Because her landing was hard, the dangling piece of a startite orb broke free from the long jarred end of the sharpened blue edge and then fell on the tuber causing it to hiss and froth. Mo Qiang threw her head back, while staring at the roof of the cave she arched a savage brow and questioned, " Really? Is...Is this the time for this ?"
However, the explosion she was waiting for did not happen. Instead, the tuber only made sounds like a fissure but after a short while it went 'poof' and turned silent.
She turned to look at the turtle tuber who seemed to be watching a clown show and asked with narrowed eyes that were filled with suspicion, " You ...did you hand me a tuber which was defective?"
The turtle tuber looked at her as if she was stupid and then sighed before shaking her head. Mo Qiang was sure that somewhere, the turtle tuber was even questioning whether or not to let Mo Qiang take her baby boy.
" Tell me something like sooner!" Mo Qiang snapped, two red clouds appearing on her cheeks as she realized how embarrassing she must have looked just now trying to save a tuber which was never going to explode!
She pushed herself from the ground and then looked at the turtle tuber before saying in a low voice, " These things just happen because of panic there is no need for you to look down at me. I am not usually this stupid."
Though she clarified, the turtle tuber still looked at her with a suspicious expression which made Mo Qiang quite angry as she retorted, "... I am telling the truth you know?! And even if you don't believe me, you have no choice but to trust me because I am your one and only hope."
The turtle tuber's expression was distorted as if she was waiting for another hope to arrive but seeing that it did not, she allowed Mo Qiang to save her child.
The disease from which the baby tuber was suffering was called King's hands, though the disease had a rather fancy name, it was not at all wonderful.
From what Mo Qiang could see on the blue screen, this disease was due to a missing gene at the time of birth which had led to the slow and stunted growth of this baby turtle tuber. Even if he was treated by the greatest vet of the imperial star, this baby might have not survived but it was all thanks to the turtle tuber's good fortune that she met Mo Qiang!
The vet might not be able to save this child but Mo Qiang with the help of her green fingers could save this turtle tuber with ease as the green fingers can give life to new things! This means that Mo Qiang had the power to generate the missing gene inside the baby turtle tuber!
----------------
Mo Qiang is unconscious—-2Mo Qiang did not waste another minute as she started to instil the energy of green fingers inside the body of the baby turtle tuber but as she had limited energy, her mana depleted quite quickly but even so, the complexion of the baby turtle tuber turned better. At least he was no longer looking close to dying, as his breathing turned less laborious, the turtle tuber lowered her head and then rubbed her large head against her child.
Maternal love was oozing out of her eyes as she licked her child's head and then rubbed her giant diamond head against Mo Qiang before turning around and walking away.
Mo Qiang : (^-^*)
Where was she going?
Seeing the turtle tuber leave as if she was done and dusted after pushing her responsibilities on Mo Qiang, the latter was beyond speechless. Mo Qiang scrambled on her feet with the sleeping baby turtle tuber in her arms and shouted after the turtle tuber, " No! Wait! I am touched and everything with this show of maternal love but you gotta take me out of here! Where are you going? Out for a drink? Hey! You don't get to act like my colleague who went on a date after dropping her baby on my porch! I am telling you to stop!"
Mo Qiang's wretched scream echoed inside the cave but unfortunately for her, the turtle tuber was a very tired baby momma and after finding a good babysitter for her baby—— there was no stopping a tired turtle tuber mommy from taking her hibernation nap that she missed because her son was sick.
The turtle tuber: Lemme go sleep!\(*'Q`*)/~o○
Mo Qiang:(*'∀`*) Go and sleep for all eternity!
...
" You have to be kidding me," Yin Fu panted with his hands on his knees, his turquoise eyes glanced around the dark desert while his chest heaved up and down. "Where did they vanish in just a few minutes?" He was chasing after his wife and that turtle tuber like those fire moths that chased after the magma which flowed past the chasm of their star and yet he missed the two of them, how?
Inside his pocket, Xiao Jiao, whose eyes now resembled two swirls, was questioning the same thing. This mer chased after Mo Qiang like a bat who escaped from hell, so how was it possible for him to miss Mo Qiang and that giant turtle!?
' Ah God, please let Mo Qiang be safe or else this world is going to end here,' Xiao Jiao thought in her dizzy head but this thought came into her head not because she knew that without Mo Qiang there was no way these galaxies were going to be saved but because she knew that if something happened to Mo Qiang, this mer along with that very crazy daddy Gui would burn the entire galaxy down and use it to cremate Mo Qiang!
Yin Fu straightened up, using the back of his hand to wipe the sweat that was dripping down his forehead. His red shirt was now sticking to his body because of the sweat though it did not get those patchy stains, it did end up sticking close to his skin which emphasised his lean figure.
With sweat glistening on his skin, he looked like those models on the cover page as long as one was capable of ignoring that weird sense of dressing of his!
"Let's go baby squirrel, we gotta find your mommy," Yin Fu gritted his teeth as he ignored the wooziness, he had been running around the desert without drinking anything for more than an hour and to his misfortune this place despite having no sun was hot enough to make one faint!
Xiao Jiao arched a tired brow at Yin Fu, she did not know how in the world, she became the furry baby of Yin Fu and Mo Qiang even though she was really against having such unreliable and unsteady parents!
However, just as Xiao Jiao was thinking that this mer was going to run another perimeter around the desert he paused, causing her to look in the direction in which he was looking.
No sooner did Xiao Jiao turn her head in the same direction as Yin Fu, she too stiffened because from behind a dune stepped out Mo Qiang. Though the woman was covered in slime and was carrying what looked like a baby turtle tuber, she looked completely fine!
Seeing this Xiao Jiao heaved a sigh of relief, though she always complained about her host. She was a little bit worried that Mo Qiang would get hurt but now that Mo Qiang was fine, the stone weighing down on Xiao Jiao's heart vanished.
Mo Qiang on the other hand was cursing the turtle tuber who left her behind in the cave to climb out of that dangerous place. She truly understood her tiredness but she could have at least brought her along! Because of all the slimy stuff covering the stony path of the cave, Mo Qiang slid many times and on top of that she had to keep this baby safe as well!
" If I ever find her...I am going to ask for childhood support!" Mo Qiang muttered furiously under her breath but as soon as she said those words, there was a gasp which caused her to raise her head.
And her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw Yin Fu and Xiao Jiao, she thought that Yin Fu would have brought Xiao Jiao back to the Dead Star and left her behind but this mer...he was looking for her all over this dimension?
When Mo Qiang took in Yin Fu's extremely haggard-looking appearance, for the very first time ever since she came to this world, she felt a warm sensation taking over her heart.
Looks like she blamed this guy for no reason, his heart was not as dark as she thought——
" Wife, were you assaulted and forced to give birth to a child by that turtle tuber?!" Yin Fu exclaimed with horror etched on his face.
Mo Qiang: 。:゚゚('∀`)・。
It is just that there was something very wrong with his head.
---------------
Mo Qiang is unconscious——2Though Mo Qiang was offended, she did not show it on her face and simply rolled her eyes before replying, " What are you talking about? Of course not, this is the baby I picked up ...it's sick so that giant turtle asked me to take care of it——" she suddenly paused in her explanation because abruptly her vision turned blurry causing Yin Fu and Xiao Jiao's figure to become vague in her eyes.
Yin Fu immediately sensed that something was wrong with Mo Qiang, his expression swiftly turned solemn as he tentatively called Mo Qiang, " Wife?"
" Ye..s?" That was the last thing that Mo Qiang said because the next second she felt something fishy and warm rise up her throat and ——
Splat!
Red, horrendous-looking blood dyed the inside of her mask causing Yin Fu's eyes to widen in terror. His gaze met with Mo Qiang's weakened one before the latter fell forward.
" AH QIANG!"
.....
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
With multiple tubes that covered Mo Qiang's body, the inside of the examining room was filled with deadly silence, except for the sounds coming from the medical pieces of equipment, there was no other voice which echoed inside the silent room. The doctor noted down the condition of his patient before raising his hand and then rubbing the back of his neck, his eyes covered by medical glasses glanced at Mo Qiang before he breathed a heavy sigh and then turned to the mer nurse.
" Keep a look on her, if anything significant happens let me know asap," the doctor told the nurse who nodded in return and then replied, " I will let you know in case any changes that take place, Doctor Ji."
Doctor Ji nodded before heading out of the examining room, the second he pushed open the door, Wen Gui who was pacing outside the room immediately rushed towards Doctor Ji and asked in a worried voice, "What's wrong with my daughter, Doctor? Did you find out something? Is she all right? Will she wake up? Nothing will happen to her right?"
Mo Qiang was not just Wen Gui's daughter, she was now his pride and life. Many might think that he was unreasonable and a father who knew nothing about children.
Because he raised a daughter like Mo Qiang but neither of them knew what kind of hell hole he used to live in when he was young.
As a mer with a beautiful appearance, he was sold away by his parents to a trade slaver. From then on Wen Gui's life took a turn for the worse, he suffered through a myriad of struggles that he did not like to recall before being sold to the imperial palace.
Because he was beautiful, the leader of the assassination department thought that Wen Gui could use his face instead of his skills since his body was badly malnourished back then. Thus he was given education on how to seduce and kill women who were aiming for the throne.
Anyone who was considered Fu Zhao's enemy needed to be eliminated.
Wen Gui only knew one thing and that was Fu Zhao. He lived, ate and breathed for Fu Zhao, the sole reason for his existence was to keep Fu Zhao safe —— it wasn't until he met with Mo Yan in an unexpected encounter did he realise what it meant to live for himself.
And when Mo Qiang was born, it was as if the gloomy clouds over his life vanished in an instant. Holding the little bundle of joy in his arms, Wen Gui was beyond happy, a feeling that he had never felt before and thus he made Mo Qiang, his entire world.
He wasn't lying when he said that Mo Qiang was his life, she was indeed his life. If something happened to her then he wouldn't even know what it means to live anymore.
In the past, he did not feel like he was unreasonable because he controlled his daughter very well but that was because she was indeed not the good and obedient child he wanted but ever since Mo Qiang changed, he became more unreasonable because he knew that his daughter will never do anything wrong.
However, there was one thing that did not change. His love for Mo Qiang.
He loved the past Mo Qiang and the present Mo Qiang all the same, they both were his daughters.
" Ah Gui, calm down," Mo Yan placed a hand on Wen Gui's shoulder in an attempt to calm him down. She then turned to look at Doctor Ji and bowed her head in apology, " Don't mind him, he is just worried about our daughter." She paused and then hesitatingly added, " Is she all right?"
Mo Yan did not know what happened to Mo Qiang, but as she and Mo Xifeng arrived at the Startite Star, they found Yin Fu trying to haggle with the bus owner to drive to a hospital as quickly as possible.
But the situation was so chaotic that Mo Qiang's situation did not strike as important to anyone since more than a hundred injured people were lying on the ground after the chaos that took place.
Fortunately, they arrived on time and brought Mo Qiang to this hospital but to their surprise Mo Qiang —— did not wake up once throughout the journey. She was breathing fine and even her heart was beating properly and yet she did not open her eyes even once when Mo Xifeng and Yin Fu called her name.
It was then that Mo Yan realised that something was very wrong with her daughter, especially when she saw the sassy squirrel rubbing and crying against Mo Qiang. She had never seen the squirrel called Xiao Jiao look so worried ever since the day she arrived at their home.
Mo Yan firmly believed that if there was something wrong, animals would detect it long before humans and thus her heart was filled with worry for her daughter as well.
Doctor Ji was not offended by Wen Gui's question which was why he waved his hands and said politely, " No worries. Answering the patient's family is my job after all," he then turned to look at Wen Gui and asked, " Did your daughter just awaken her core?"
Wen Gui blinked not understanding the reason why Doctor Ji was asking this question but he nodded in response.
" That explains the situation, I guess," said Doctor Ji calmly as he looked down at his tablet and continued speaking, " Your daughter's core is under Mana Splattering at the moment."
First timeMana splattering, Mana disruption and Mana Babel.
These three things were what a mecha core user feared the most.
In the case of Mana Babel, there was not even a need for anyone to call for a doctor, if a mecha core user fell into Mana Babel then their hearts would stop beating at once even the most skilled doctor wouldn't be able to revive them.
As for Mana Disruption, there was a chance for a mecha core user to survive but if they were not taken care of properly their conditions might deteriorate and their core may snap in pieces causing them to become a vegetable for their entire life.
Between these two conditions lies Mana splattering. When it happens, the mecha core user's condition will not be in danger nor will their core snap into pieces but their core will start releasing mana wavelengths in an uncontrolled manner, with these uncontrollable wavelengths it would be impossible for a mecha core user's body to work normally.
In usual circumstances, the mecha core user will only feel chest pains and their vision will get dizzy but Doctor Ji had a feeling that something was very wrong with Mo Qiang. On one hand, it felt like she did have a core but on another hand, her core did not resemble the cores of mecha users.
If not for the mer nurse reminder that Mo Qiang was not a mecha core user but a spirit summoner, Doctor Ji would have thought that he made some weird discovery.
He looked at the tablet in her hand and continued speaking, " Her core hadn't snapped in pieces but there is an inexplicable surge of uncontrollable mana waves. From the examinations, I can see that your daughter overused her mana core while trying to save those residents who were affected by the poison of the turtle tuber. And with her getting taken away by that monster, her situation only turned even more serious ...I am afraid that——"
" What are you afraid for? What is it?" Wen Gui felt like his world was coming crashing down, Mo Qiang...his daughter was suffering from one of the three deadly conditions? In the past, he prayed every day for his daughter to awaken her core but now that she was in such a condition, Wen Gui would rather hope for Mo Qiang to become a woman without a core.
Seeing that the doctor was hesitating, Wen Gui raised his voice and almost shrieked, " Tell me!"
If not for the fact that he was afraid of hurting the doctor with his strength, Wen Gui would have gone for his collar.
" Ah Gui, calm down," Mo Yan pulled her husband back and then turned to look at the Doctor before asking, " Is there no way to make my daughter regain her consciousness?"
Doctor Ji pursed his lips and then sighed helplessly, "It's not that I am not willing to help you but the situation with your daughter is not common. As you already know she is a spirit summoner... if she was a mecha morph, I would have asked one of the vessel mecha morphs to suck in the extra wavelengths which are coursing inside your daughter's body and then have the vessel mecha morphs to process those wavelengths at their pace. But..."
An awkward expression came on Doctor Ji's face before he continued, " But with your daughter's rare core, I am afraid no vessel mecha core user will agree to suck those wavelengths out and instil them in their body."
Vessel mecha morphs were test subjects created by the imperial family, the Empress wanted to create an army of A-grade mecha core users—— thus, the imperial family would recruit low-level mecha core users and have them work in the hospital where they were asked to instil uncontrollable mecha wavelengths in their bodies.
It helped in two ways as the mecha core user suffering from mecha splattering was saved in the nick of time by the removal of the extra core wavelengths while the vessel mecha core user got extra wavelengths to process and level up.
But Mo Qiang's core differed from theirs and if they were to instil her core wavelengths there was a chance that the vessel mecha morph might lose their cultivation instead of leveling up.
" My daughter!" Wen Gui gasped as his hands flew to his mouth when Mo Qiang awakened as a spirit summoner, Wen Gui was proud and arrogant thinking that it was just right. She was his daughter how could she be just 'Normal' But now that this uniqueness was causing his daughter to be in pain, Wen Gui wished to slap his crow beak. It was his fault, he should not have spoken so boastfully about his daughter to others.
Now look what happened! Someone cast an evil eye on his daughter!
Mo Yan's heart also squeezed as she held Wen Gui by his arms and asked Doctor Ji, " What if I sign the permission form to have those wavelengths instilled in my body? I am old now..and I don't have any position or responsibilities either, even if my cultivation is destroyed, I don't think I will feel any pain."
Mo Yan was a simple woman as long as her family was okay, she did not care whether or not she stayed an S-grade mecha morph.
Doctor Ji however shook his head and then replied, "It's not that easy, Madam Mo. You might be old but that only means that if we instill those chaotic wavelengths inside your body then your life will be in danger. As a war hero, I cannot allow you to kill yourself."
" But she is my daughter!" Mo Yan insisted on wanting to take on the responsibility of saving Mo Qiang.
" I cannot ignore my responsibility, Madam Mo," Doctor Ji spoke in a firm voice. " Though I understand how you feel I am sorry, I cannot and I will not accept any form signed by you or your husband."
" Then what about me? If I sign would you allow?"
First time ——2----------------
Mo Xifeng stepped forward as she looked at Doctor Ji, her expression was calm as if she did not say anything of importance but it made Mo Yan's heart quiver as she turned to look at her youngest daughter and said, "Xifeng this can affect your cultivation."
Mo Yan knew that because of what Mo Xifeng's father did, her youngest daughter had always felt guilty towards their family. Before Mo Xifeng came to their family, Mo Qiang and Wen Gui lived a harmonious life with Mo Yan, the three of them were a small and happy family but once Mo Yan brought Mo Xifeng back—— that harmony sort of broke down.
It brought the memories of the night when her second husband stole everything of importance and ran away from home, what was more he was shameless enough to send the invitation letter for his next wedding to their house. Because Wen Gui had always treated that mer like a little brother, he was the most furious one after Mo Xifeng's father's betrayal.
If anything, he only doubted Mo Xifeng and her character. Thinking that she would betray them just like her father which was he never tried to get close to Mo Xifeng and kept her at arm's length. As for Mo Qiang, it was better to not even mention the reaction that she had when Mo Xifeng arrived in their family.
But Mo Yan did not wish Mo Xifeng to harm herself because of this guilt.
" I know Mother," Mo Xifeng was calm as she replied to Mo Yan, She knew the consequences but she would still choose to save Mo Qiang. If her sister was still the same woman who cared about no one and continued to act as a troublemaker, then she would have thought over her decision once more before saving her.
However, Mo Qiang was not the same woman. She grew trees, caught three horned chickens and even caught hold of Madam Lian's lies before throwing her out of the territory. Now her elder sister resembled the kind of older sister that Mo Xifeng wanted, what was more Mo Xifeng had seen Mo Qiang making a split decision of saving those commoners poisoned by the turtle tuber.
If she did not think twice before saving someone, why should Mo Xifeng think over her decision to save her sister again?
" Are you sure?" Doctor Ji was quite surprised when he saw Mo Xifeng volunteer to save Mo Qiang. He thought that as Mo Qiang's half-sister, Mo Xifeng would be glad to see her sister in trouble because that way she would be the only heir left of her mother—— never did he expect Mo Xifeng to take such a dangerous step for Mo Qiang.
" I am sure," Mo Qiang frowned seemingly annoyed. She was a woman of few words, the only reason she talked with Mo Qiang was because her sister was annoying and would feel bored if she did not talk with her. If Mo Qiang got bored then she would do all sorts of stupid things and Mo Xifeng did not like cleaning behind her mess which was why she would play along with her sister and talk with her.
But that did not mean that she had the same patience with outsiders who were not her family.
When the doctor saw that Mo Xifeng was certain, he did not ask anything and simply asked the nurse to bring a form for Mo Xifeng to feel something that Mo Xifeng did in a jiffy without showing any hesitation.
Once the nurse saved the form in the database he asked Mo Xifeng to follow after him. As the two of them were walking past Mo Yan, the latter opened her mouth to stop Mo Xifeng, she wanted to save Mo Qiang but not at the cost of Mo Xifeng.
But before she could stop Mo Xifeng, the latter turned around and looked at her before saying only one word——
" Don't."
Mo Yan understood Mo Xifeng's meaning, she was telling her to not feel guilty as she was doing this out of her free will but even so Mo Yan felt a bit heavy on the inside. She gazed at Mo Xifeng wanting to see some sort of resistance in the eyes of her second daughter but when she saw none, Mo Yan only sighed and then said, " Very well, take care."
On the other side, Wen Gui wanted to say something but when his eyes met with those familiar electric blues, he couldn't bring himself to say anything and simply lowered his head.
Mo Xifeng's eyes dimmed when she saw that Wen Gui was not willing to accept her even now but that did not change her decision to save Mo Qiang. She turned around and continued to walk after Doctor Ji.
Doctor Ji brought Mo Xifeng to the same examining room where Mo Qiang was lying unconscious. When Mo Xifeng saw Mo Qiang's tied up with tubes and masks, she inhaled sharply causing Doctor Ji to state, " She looks bad but as long as those wavelengths are taken care of, your sister will be fine."
Mo Xifeng nodded in response but did not say anything, since Doctor Ji had seen many people like Mo Xifeng, he wasn't surprised by her lack of response. He simply asked Mo Xifeng to sit in the egg-shaped glass cylinder while ordering the nurse to attach all the tubes and wires to Mo Xifeng.
" This is going to sting a little," said the nurse as he picked up a tube that had a needle-like edge and then placed it on Mo Xifeng's neck. He waited for the woman to stop him but seeing that she was sitting calmly without even frowning, he pricked her skin with the needle before doing the same with the centre of Mo Xifeng's chest where her core lay.
" Ready?" Doctor Ji asked as he turned to look at the nurse who was shutting down the doors of the egg-shaped machine.
" Ready," confirmed the nurse and no sooner did Doctor Ji receive the confirmation, than he turned the machine on.
------------------
First time——3Mo Xifeng felt like thousands of ants were crawling up and down on her core the second the machine was turned on. She felt heavy, woozy and completely disoriented. It was just as the doctor said, Mo Qiang's core energy was incompatible with her and the other mecha core users thus the second those wavelengths were instilled inside her body, Mo Xifeng had a hard time processing them.
What was even more troubling was that twice she almost vomited blood. She did not know how long the machine continued to run but by the time it stopped Mo Xifeng was close to passing out.
" Are you all right?" Doctor Ji asked the pale-faced woman whose entire body was stretched taut. " Are you feeling uncomfortable? I mean ...more than uncomfortable?"
Mo Xifeng did not answer at first, she waited for the nausea to stop washing over her before she parted her lips and then replied, " I am fine."
Though her core was throbbing painfully, it was not to the point that Mo Xifeng would faint and though she lost a few levels of cultivation, it was not too bad, she would regain it pretty soon.
With shaky legs, Mo Xifeng stood up from the stool on which she was sitting and then stepped out where the nurse offered her a bottle of solution that she refused. After getting used to drinking warm water, Mo Xifeng could no longer drink the solution anymore. Even if she was to force herself to drink it, she might end up throwing up.
Mo Xifeng pushed the solution away and then allowed the nurse to take her to the resting area where she lay down on a half-canopy bed. The mattress underneath was not soft enough but Mo Xifeng was not one to complain, with her arm covering her eyes, she breathed in and out trying to shake off the throbbing at the back of her head along with her core.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling all right?" Shao Hui pushed the door open as he stepped inside the resting room. However, he felt awkward stepping inside the room where Mo Xifeng was alone because of the feelings that he used to have for Mo Xifeng.
He still took a brave step and stepped inside before asking Mo Xifeng how she was feeling.
Mo Xifeng turned her head to look at Shao Hui and then softly replied, " There is nothing to worry about... I am fine."
Her gaze fell on Shao Hui's awkward expression and she asked, " Whats the matter?"
Shao Hui's cheeks flushed red as he looked at Mo Xifeng and bowed, " Thanks for saving her... I know you did not have to but —— you did."
" She is my elder sister too," Mo Xifeng stated calmly. " Of course, I will save her no matter what."
Upon seeing that Shao Hui was still looking at her with that awkward gaze and hesitation-filled expression, she raised a brow and questioned, " Is something the matter, Brother Hui?"
Shao Hui hesitated for a couple of minutes before he pursed his lips and then he parted his lips before he questioned Mo Xifeng back instead of answering her question, "Sister-in-law, don...don't you blame her? I mean she treated you like you were trash but you ..why are you willing to save her? Don't...Don't you hate her?"
Comprehension dawned on Mo Xifeng as she nodded her head and replied, " I do hate her, she was annoying and a good-for-nothing who never did anything right. But..." Mo Xifeng turned to look at Shao Hui and added, " I wasn't exactly nice to her either—— I will admit that I didn't treat her like she treated me but that doesn't make me a saint either. She made mistakes and so did I ...so what is the point of hating her?"
She paused and then swallowed the lump in her throat ignoring the wave of dizziness as Mo Xifeng continued, " More importantly, one should look at the present than at the past brother Hui... because past grudges will only make your wounds fester, you either treat them or you cut them off. Just choose what you want to do before it starts hurting even more."
Shao Hui lowered his head, there was nothing that came to his head in response. He nodded his head before turning around and walking out of the resting room where he almost bumped into Wen Gui.
" Father," Shao Hui bowed his head once again, afraid that Wen Gui would get angry at him once again.
But this time Wen Gui did not snap at him instead he simply glanced at him and said, " She is right, you know?"
Then without giving him a chance to say anything, Wen Gui walked past him and stepped inside the resting room leaving Shao Hui to exhale heavily.
" Cut the losses huh?" He mused before turning to walk away as well.
While inside the resting room, Wen Gui looked at Mo Xifeng awkwardly. His hands were tightly clutching the thermos that held warm water, he clearly came to hand Mo Xifeng some water since the nurse told him that Mo Xifeng refused to drink the solution but now that he was inside the resting room, he did not know what to say anymore.
" Daddy Gui?" Mo Xifeng was shocked when she saw Wen Gui coming to look for her but just as she was going to push herself up on the bed, Wen Gui waved his hand and stated, " There is no need to keep lying down, if your situation worsened then I will have a hard time explaining to your mother."
He walked towards the bed with a natural stride before placing down the thermos that he was carrying in his hands next to Mo Xifeng and awkwardly remarking, " This is what your mother asked me to bring for you...she is busy chatting with the doctor thus she couldn't come."
With his head held high Wen Gui looked down at Mo Xifeng who nodded in response, " I understand."
No sooner did she finish speaking, than the resting room fell into an uncomfortable silence which made Wen Gui curl his fingers as he said, " Then I will be leaving which is an obvious thing to do, now that I have handed you the thermos." He turned on his heels and then walked towards the door but then paused and clenched his fists before shaking them a little up and down in an attempt to summon his courage.
He took a heavy breath and then muttered, " And thank you for saving Qi Qi, Xifeng."
The second he thanked Mo Xifeng, Wen Gui pulled the door open and walked outside, leaving Mo Xifeng to stare at the door.
A soft smile etched on her lips as she mused," That's the first time you said my name with so much affection, Daddy."
......
Suck your—— Shao Hui returned to the ward where Mo Qiang was admitted and the next second he pushed the button on the side of the door, and the sound of someone sobbing came from inside. He looked inside the ward once the door slid open and sighed helplessly when he looked at Yin Fu who was crying nonstop.
" If you continue crying like that someone would think that she passed away already," Shao Hui commented as he stepped inside the ward.
He couldn't understand why Yin Fu was sobbing like he was attending his mother's funeral, though he was sure that if Yin Fu was to really attend the funeral of his mother he would rather shoot out bullets and release fireworks instead of crying.
" Stop jinxing her, pei, pei," Yin Fu spat two times to ward off the evil and then turned to glare at Shao Hui with his turquoise eyes and questioned, " This is what I wanted to ask you, why are you not worried at all? She is our wife, isn't she? So how can you be so cold towards her."
" I am not being cold," Shao Hui did not show his reluctance to accept Mo Qiang on his face, though the woman had done a lot for him...she had also hurt him. " I am just acting normal. She is fine now, so is there any need for you to shed tears like this ?"
Xie Jie did not say anything, he simply took out another handkerchief and handed it to Yin Fu before saying coldly, " He is right, you are the only one who was able to get these self-cleaning handkerchiefs drip with snot. I am sure I will be using your snot-dripping handkerchief to sue the company for releasing defective products."
" You two don't understand," Yin Fu sniffed haughtily, his expression haggard and pitiful. " I went on a date with my wife but it ended up in a haphazard. I am sure that Qi Qi will think twice before going out with me. Now I will have no chance to see those generous blossoms of her bounce as she moves... and that firm and perky bottom, who knows when will I get the chance to get a good view of it as she bends doubles to tie her shoelace."
" Ahem!" Shao Hui cleaned his throat when he heard Yin Fu's words going down the dirty rabbit lane. " Can you not sexually harass our wife, please? This is ...so ... I don't know what, don't tell me you were eyeing her assets all the time while you were on the date."
Yin Fu cleaned his nose and then turned to look at Shao Hui before very proudly replying, " Of course not, I clicked a few pictures to appreciate as well. Do you want me to star-drop them to you?"
Shao Hui: "...." No thank you.
He rubbed his forehead with his fingers before turning to look at Xie Jie whose face was filled with disgust and asked, "Did the doctor finish examining her?" He tipped his head towards Mo Qiang.
" He did," Xie Jie nodded as he turned to look at Mo Qiang, a myriad of emotions flashing on his face before he concealed them and then stated, " Doctor Ji told us that she is all right just needs a little rest, she will be waking up soon."
Shao Hui heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look at the dramatic Yin Fu, he wanted to tell him that he should stop crying but the next second the sobbing increased as Yin Fu threw himself over Mo Qiang.
" Oh thank goodness you are awake Qi Qi, you have no idea how scared I was. I thought I was going to lose you forever!"
Only then did Shao Hui and Xie Jie turn to look at Mo Qiang whose eyebrows were scrunched up in pain.
Mo Qiang did not know how long she was out, but the second she opened her eyes she found herself being hugged by something really soft and fluffy, even the scent was so nice that she wanted to take a bite of the person hugging her.
But when she snapped out of her daze upon realizing that it was Yin Fu who was hugging her, she awkwardly cleared her throat and then asked him, " Are you okay...Fu'er?"
She wanted to call him, Mister Yin like always but then remembered how this mer had stayed beside her through thick and thin. Thus, she couldn't use such a cold way to address him and used his intimate name instead of his surname.
Yin Fu was beyond the moon when he heard Mo Qiang call him 'Fu'er'! This was a development! A development! Now she was calling him 'Fu'er', with this pace it wouldn't take long before she starts calling him, 'baby', 'darling' and ' my naughty sugar plum'!
He wiped his eyes with the handkerchief in his hand and then very softly replied, " As long as you are fine, I am more than fine. When you spat blood, I thought my heart was going to rip out of my chest. I really thought...that I was going to die if you did not wake up today...sniff... but now that you are awake, I can rest in ease."
Shao Hui and Xie Jie: ∑(ΦдΦlll
Who was this and where was their brother Fu?
The two of them were quite shocked when they saw Yin Fu sob like a tragic heroine but at the same time, they smelled the scent of green tea bastard as well while Yin Fu was talking to Mo Qiang.
And sure enough, they saw Mo Qiang's expression soften as she reached out her hand and patted Yin Fu before saying in a touched voice, " I am thankful to you as well. If you did not stay beside me then I would have died... I don't know how will I ever repay you."
" Just fuc—— Just let me stay beside you as your husband for all eternity!" Yin Fu held his tongue when he thought that he was going to slip and clutched Mo Qiang's hands when he noticed that he got the chance that he was waiting. " I just want to serve you... I am a changed mer as you are a changed woman, my wife!"
------------
Suck Your——2 He touched the corner of his eyes with the handkerchief and then continued speaking in a touched voice, " I was impressed by your actions of saving the people as well as the turtle tuber. To me, you are my heroine, Qi Qi!"
His confession caused Mo Qiang to purse her lips, she blinked her eyes and then tilted her head before asking, " Do you really want to stay next to me?"
" Yes, Yes!" Where will he get such a strong waist and firm bottom? Even that large bosom of hers was enough to make him drool! Who cared where their relationship started and how it got started, as long as they ended up in bed, his wife would be his!
His father used to tell him that even a relationship started with lust as long as they stuck together it would not take two people to fall in love with each other!
Once he had her baby and his belly started swelling, Yin Fu was sure that he would be the winner of all!
No one will be able to snatch the position of official husband from him!
And if anyone tried to get in between him and his wife, then he had more than one way to annihilate that son of a bastard. For example, he might take them to a picnic and then do beep and beep and then beeping beep.
Mo Qiang stared at him with confusion in her eyes, maybe it was because of the drip but she nodded in a daze and agreed looking quite satisfied after being called a heroine.
" I am quite awesome, aren't I?" She questioned with a silly smile to which Yin Fu clapped his hands and nodded, " Yes, Yes...you were dashing, amazing!"
Pink hearts started to dart around the room and a few of them got stuck on Shao Hui and Xie Jie's heads.
Pulling a heart which was sticking to his face, Shao Hui dusted off his shoulder and questioned, " Just now he wanted to say fuck me for all eternity right?"
"That's right," Xie Jie nodded with a blank look on his face as he slapped the fluttering pink hearts bouncing off his body.
For some reason, he had a very uncomfortable feeling upon seeing Yin Fu getting so cosy with Mo Qiang. He knew that it did not take that long for Yin Fu to fall in love with anyone but he was not exactly a fool, so why was he willing to give Mo Qiang another chance so easily?
Was it really because Mo Qiang's body was his type? Xie Jie did not think so. Though back then Mo Qiang was not exactly as good-looking as she was now, Yin Fu despised her but for him to suddenly act so clingy with her...there was something very fishy!
Shao Hui simply rolled his eyes at the perverted Yin Fu, he knew that the mer was desperate for love but he was seriously too deep in the abyss of lust!
How could he not even show a little resistance before agreeing to roll around in bed with Mo Qiang? He should have at least played a bit hard to get! With how clingy Yin Fu was acting Shao Hui was sure that Mo Qiang was not going to cherish him because no woman liked a mer who was easy to get into bed with!
Only those who resisted, pushed and pulled could keep their women charmed up.
That was what Shao Hui thought but why was Mo Qiang acting along with Yin Fu? He was being so silly, so annoying and so boisterous as he wiped her face so why was she letting him act like that? Shouldn't she degrade him?
Maybe Mo Qiang sensed his gaze because she looked at him and then arched a brow as she asked, " Is something the matter?"
' Heh, she allowed Brother Fu to play with the strand of her hair and I am not even allowed to look at her?—— No wait, why does it matter? Why am I getting angry just because I can't look at her face? Who wants to look at her?!' Shao Hui immediately went into an existential crisis as the horrifying realisation struck him.
He glared at Mo Qiang and then snapped, " Stop messing with me! I am not that easy!"
With that, he covered his face and ran out of the ward leaving very bewildered Mo Qiang on the bed.
She turned to look at Yin Fu who was staring at her admiringly (adoringly) and then asked, " What did he mean by he is not that easy? What did I do?"
"It's nothing," Yin Fu pressed the bell to call the doctor and the nurse before he continued speaking, " Dear Hui Hui sometimes gets small attacks of conceitedness which only get worse by the minute because he also suffers from what one would call tsundere. He will be fine just leave him alone."
Xie Jie: ( '◇')
Mo Qiang furrowed her brows as she realised that not a word that Yin Fu said to her got inside her head, " I am afraid I did not understand."
" He is being childish and nothing else," Yin Fu deadpanned.
Mo Qiang and Xie Jie : (ノ*'・,>・)乂(・ι_・`*)ノ
So why didn't you say this earlier !?
Maybe because the two had the same thought in their heads, they ended up looking at each other but the second their gazes met, Mo Qiang and Xie Jie looked away. Mo Qiang looked away because Xie Jie still scared her a lot, after their last meeting she no longer had the guts to look this mer in the eye. His temper was simply the worst!
And Xie Jie looked away because his heart started to rebelliously thump even when he knew that this woman was the one who sold his brother to that beast!
Yin Fu on the other hand conveniently ignored the awkward atmosphere and then gently tucked his hair behind his ear and asked Mo Qiang, " So what would you like to eat Qi Qi? I have boiled corn kernels and boiled eggs. Maybe if you like something sweet you can take my d*ck as well."
--------------
Don't get sneaky with my beloved hostXie Jie: 人'∀`), I am still here brother. By all means, I don't need that image in my head.
Even Mo Qiang was thrown off the loop as she tilted her head and then asked in confusion, " What did you say?" She was worried that she misheard something! Because there was no way this mer just asked her if she wanted to suck his member right?
Maybe the medicines were playing with her.
" I said that if you want something sweet then I have corn stick with maple syrup brushed on it, why? What did you hear?" Yin Fu asked with a questioning gaze which only confused Mo Qiang whose face got tinted with blush as she parted her lips.
" I thought you said that ... I can s*ck your——" she stopped speaking realising that she was indeed dizzy because of the drip. If not how can she even say something like this without even taking consideration of the situation?
Yin Fu blinked his eyes and then his hand flew to his lips as he gasped, " Wife ... I do understand that you are a young, passionate woman and I am a hot ...very beautiful mer but ...this isn't the place to do something like that." He chuckled as he waved his hand before shyly saying, " But don't worry now that I have decided to stay with you, I will treat you well."
With a seductive lean, he spoke in a hot, breathy whisper, " If you want to suck me so badly then I will grant your wish but you have to get better before that. Don't worry, I will take care of that passionate heat inside your body which is itching to burst any second now."
" No, I did not——" Mo Qiang wanted to tell Yin Fu that there was no such thing as a hot passionate heat inside her but she did not get a chance to say anything as Yin Fu pressed his finger on her lips and then went ——
" Shhh," he hushed her with a blushing face. " I know you are needy but this is not the time and place." He then glanced at Xie Jie who was finding it terribly hard to maintain his poker expression and then added, " I don't think that Brother Jie will like us getting all hot and sweaty in front of him either."
Mo Qiang: (; ・'д・') Listen to me, I am not needy!
Xie Jie: (。'∀`) Thank you for your consideration.
With a black look on his face, Xie Jie turned to look at Yin Fu as he silently asked questions about how he could be so shameless!
Instead of being embarrassed, Yin Fu flicked his hair and then turned to look at Xie Jie with a victorious expression that was quite terrifying to look at.
Who cared about shame when he was preparing himself to roll in the bed of his wife?! He wanted s*x!
Xie Jie: (ㆆ ᴗ ㆆ).
There were many ways to answer his question but this mer just had to answer it in the most perverted way!
The door of the ward slid open once again while Mo Qiang silently questioned how one thing led to another —- and how in the world was she on the verge of blowing this mer off?!
" Miss Qiang?" Doctor Ji approached Mo Qiang and called her when he saw that she was lost in her thoughts.
The voice snapped Mo Qiang out of her daze as she turned to look at Doctor Ji before letting out a ' huh?'
" Please open your mouth," Doctor Ji was not surprised by her lack of reaction as he knew that the drip did this to every patient. It was supposed to put them at rest and make their core relaxed but at the same time, there were a few side effects and which were —— slow responses and unclear understanding.
He just hoped that nothing and no one took advantage of Mo Qiang when she was like this but then again the ones inside were her husbands, surely nothing happened.
Xie Jie: You are too late for that doctor. She already lost her virtue.
Yin Fu: You snooze you lose including your virtue.
Xiao Jiao who just arrived : ╭(°ロ° ")╯, what happened when I was gone? How come her host was close to losing her virtue?
Mo Qiang hummed in response before she opened her mouth and then allowed the doctor to do a few tests before slumping back on the pillow. Once again getting lost in her thoughts about how the matter ended up with her getting on her knees and sucking Yin Fu's member.
" She is fine," once Doctor Ji was done with his tests, he turned to the Mo family who heaved a sigh of relief. " She is a bit dizzy because of the drip but other than that she is completely all right. The wavelengths have vanished and nothing is endangering Miss Qiang anymore."
While the rest of the Mo family looked relieved, Yin Fu looked quite smug which caused Xiao Jiao to narrow her eyes at him.
Xiao Jiao: (•̀⤙•́ )
What did this mer do when she was trying to get Huhu here? Don't tell her, he did something sneaky with Mo Qiang when she was not looking ?!
Though Xiao Jiao wanted Mo Qiang to get close to her husbands, she did not want them to get sneaky with her host and take advantage of her!
And from that sly look on the face of that mer, she was quite sure he pulled a sneaky move.
She stared at the mer trying to take a look at what was going on in his head and when she found out.
Xiao Jiao: ଘ( ੭⁰̷̴͈ ᵕ ˘͈)੭* ✩, You dare bully my beloved? I am going to end that life of yours!
But first, she needed to make sure that Mo Qiang was okay, once that was ascertained, she would protect Mo Qiang's lips!
Think it was that easy to get a blowoff? Not a chance!
She turned to look at Mo Qiang whose gaze was already at her.
" Xiao Jiao.... I did it ... did you see?" Because Mo Qiang was lopsided a little, she spoke what came to her head. The second she saw Xiao Jiao, she remembered how she finished her mission and proudly announced her achievement.
For two seconds Xiao Jiao did not speak after hearing Mo Qiang's words but then fat tears started to drizzle out of her eyes.
————————
Little theatre:
Yin Fu: (≖ᴗ≖ ✿) it's too late, sorry.
Xiao Jiao: ⁽⁽(੭ꐦ •̀_•́ )੭*⁾⁾ You want my mega punch is that it?
Shao Hui and Xie Jie: ( ◡̀_◡́)▬▬█. Your honour, he is guilty!
Wen Gui: I disapprove, I want a grandchild. (*ฅ́˘ฅ̀*)
Give me your lips" Bohooo!"
Before anyone could even comprehend what was going on, Jiao Xiao rushed towards Mo Qiang and hugged her tight. Though she was only hugging a small patch of hospital clothes that Mo Qiang was wearing as she sobbed, " You idiot, why are you still worried about that mission? Look at yourself! You almost died, if something happened to you then what would have happened to me!? Think a little idiot, just because I said that you need to fulfil the mission you placed your life on the line? How could you?"
" I know that you are angry and upset with me, so don't smile ...call me an evil capitalist once more. I will allow you to call me all sorts of names that you want but just once. To think I left you alone for just a few minutes and so many things happened at once, you really know how to worry someone!"
Xiao Jiao continued to speak for a long time but did not receive an answer, just as she thought that Mo Qiang was seriously angry with her, she heard Doctor Ji say,
" Ah, it looks like Miss Qiang is tired now."
Tired? What?
Xiao Jiao raised her head, her eyes still filled with tears but then she saw Mo Qiang snoring calmly on the pillow.
Xiao Jiao: ໒( ˵ •̀ □ •́ ˵ )
If this woman was sleeping then for whom did she shed so many tears just now? Was she kidding her!?
Instinctively she raised her hand but was stopped by Mo Xifeng who caught hold of her paw and then shook her head as she spoke, " I know that you are angry, Miss Jiao Jiao. But sister Qiang is not feeling well and I cannot allow you to throw a tantrum at this moment please wait until she gets better before you start fussing all right?"
Though Xiao Jiao was angry at Mo Qiang, she suppressed her anger and then huffed before lying on top of Mo Qiang. She was going to stay with this stupid woman until she wakes up again, who knows? This time it was just an agreement, the next time that perverted mer might really shove his thing down her throat! She can't allow her host to get tainted so easily!
With her eyes narrowed down, Xiao Jiao glared at Yin Fu as if telling him that she had his eyes on him.
" Ahem," Yin Fu used his hand to rub the tip of his nose, for some reason he had a feeling that compared to Xie Jie and Shao Hui, this squirrel was way more possessive of Mo Qiang!
" All right then let's leave Qi Qi alone," Seeing that Mo Qiang was all right, Mo Yan finally let go of the weight she was carrying in her heart. She walked towards Mo Qiang and then caressed her forehead with motherly love flowing from her eyes.
If this was the Mo Qiang of before, she wouldn't have worried so much because the Mo Qiang of the past caused ruckus all day long and only knew how to create chaos for everyone. She was like a scoundrel who couldn't do anything right but now her daughter was a changed woman and Mo Qiang was so good now that Mo Yan sometimes felt that she was living a dream.
Leaning down, she kissed Mo Qiang on the forehead before walking towards the door with Wen Gui who was relieved beyond his limits upon seeing his daughter wake up. If not for Mo Yan supporting him, he would have fallen on the ground and made a fool of himself.
Mo Xifeng looked at her sister, her expression slightly less colder than usual as she patted Mo Qiang on the back of her hand.
" Take care of yourself, sister," she said with a soft voice as Mo Xifeng did not wish for Mo Qiang to wake up. She was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly felt a nudge at her ankle, it was only then did she look down and stared at the three spirits who were asking for her help.
A few hours ago, Xiao Jiao somehow brought these three spirits to the hospital, though no one knew how it no one questioned it. Because Mo Xifeng desperately needed Huhu's powers to suppress her mania which almost went out of control.
" You three, do you want to stay with sister Qiang?" She questioned, as Mo Xifeng knew that these three spirits were much smarter than others though they were, she treated these three with great respect and care.
The three spirits nodded because they were left behind by Mo Qiang, they did not even know what was going on. It was only when Xiao Jiao summoned them, did they realised that their master was in danger!
At the same time, neither of them understood why Mo Qiang did not summon them. If she had used some extra mana then they would have surely rushed to help her!
Chi Chi and the rest were filled with guilt but did not know what to do thus they decided to stick close to Mo Qiang from now on. As long as they stayed close to her, it wouldn't matter if Mo Qiang called them for help or not!
They would be there to help her for the time entire time! If today something happened to Mo Qiang then they would be sent back to the spirit world where they would be destroyed by the elves and fairies as no one wanted to make them their partners.
This was their last chance!
Mo Xifeng smiled at the three spirits and then crouched down to pick them up one by one before she said in a hushed whisper, " I know that you are worried but don't move too much all right? Sister Qiang needs as much rest as possible to recover her strength."
Huhu and the other two nodded before huddling next to Xiao Jiao. Their eyes were fixated on Mo Qiang as if they were worried that she was going to vanish.
