Chapter 208: There is Another Child

"System, this is too sudden, he is still just a child!"

Yingzhou looked at the child in his arms with soft eyes and complained to the system.

"Host, you are making too much of a fuss. How could Vulcan Vulkan be hurt by such a small height?"

The system retorted without showing any weakness.

"Fine, fine, fine. He is an SSR I summoned after nearly draining me dry, after all. How could I let him fall the moment he appears?"

"Alright, Host, please do a good job of being a nanny!"

After leaving these words, the system stopped speaking.

Yingzhou naturally would not get angry with the system, so he had to hold his child in a flustered manner and recall the Modian Iron Guard who had returned to report.

Subsequently, Yingzhou looked at the three Xiunu and slowly asked.

"You... who has experience taking care of children?"

Seeing the child with pitch-black skin in Yingzhou's arms, the three Xiunu all knelt on one knee in unison and said piously to Yingzhou.

"Great Emperor, although we do not have experience taking care of children, we have taken care of injured children. Please issue your decree!"

Seeing this scene, Yingzhou handed the child in his arms to the Xiunu in the middle; this action drew a wave of envy from the two Xiunu beside her.

The Xiunu who took the child from Yingzhou's arms was even more emotionally agitated, her face flushed, and she said to Yingzhou with fanatical eyes, "Thank you for your trust!"

"You just need to hold him steadily and follow me."

Yingzhou looked at the yandere-like appearance of the Xiunu before him and could not help but feel a trace of doubt about his decision just now. Was I a bit too rash in making this decision? However, a young Primarch seems quite durable, so it should be fine, right?

The two walked out of this dim area. The Xiunu followed behind Yingzhou with steady steps, not daring to let her arms shake in the slightest, her expression exceptionally pious, though her flushed cheeks seemed inconsistent with the atmosphere.

After looking back and seeing this scene, Yingzhou did not know what to say. After all, it was he who let this Xiunu hold the child; she only needed to bring him home, and this Xiunu's Task would be considered complete.

When Yingzhou returned to the house where Hu Jie had let him stay temporarily, he heard two sobbing sounds coming from inside the house, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. After all, Li Fan had promised him at the time that he would only delay the issuance of the death notification, but he had been at the Sixty-Sixth Corps for about a month, and it was very likely that the death notification had already been issued.

Thinking of this, Yingzhou immediately knocked on the door. After a series of faint sounds behind the door, the door slowly opened.

The Xiunu who opened the door immediately knelt on one knee, paying tribute to the Emperor in a pious voice.

At this time, Yingzhou did not have time to care about these things. He walked quickly into the living room and found Huang Xi and his mother wiping away tears.

"Xiaozhou? You... your big brother, he..."

Mother Ying was already sobbing to the point of being unable to speak, her voice already slurred. Yingzhou gently hugged his mother and comforted her in a low voice.

"Mom, don't worry. I will definitely avenge Big Brother!"

To avoid Mother Ying becoming emotionally agitated and affecting her health, Yingzhou had the Xiunu beside him make Mother Ying fall into a deep sleep. After putting Mother Ying into the bedroom and leaving one Xiunu to look after her, Yingzhou walked out of the room, looked at Huang Xi who was wiping tears in the living room, and said.

"Sister-in-law, please accept my condolences. When did you find out about my big brother's death notification?"

Huang Xi looked at Yingzhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the floor and had a tall stature, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes as she said.

"Just this morning. I had originally thought that the war on the Sixty-Sixth Corps' side had ended and wanted to give Yingfang a surprise. I didn't expect... sob sob sob... I didn't expect that what I waited for was his death notification... sob sob sob..."

Yingzhou had the Xiunu on the side comfort Huang Xi and continued to ask, "A surprise?"

"Yes, I found out a few days ago that I was carrying his child. I had originally planned to tell him this news after the war on his side ended, but as a result..."

Upon hearing that the woman before him was already carrying his big brother's child, Yingzhou could not help but raise an eyebrow, then said to Huang Xi, "Sister-in-law, when you reach the time to go home and recuperate, just recuperate here. I don't want anything to happen to my big brother's child. With them here, I am also more at ease."

As Yingzhou spoke, he pointed to the Xiunu standing at his side, lowering her head and waiting for instructions.

Huang Xi nodded and said with a choked voice, "I won't let anything happen to my child either. This is the child between him and me, after all."

Until the evening, when Yingzhou returned to the room to visit his mother, he found his mother lying half-reclined on the bed with a haggard face and dull, lusterless eyes. Only after seeing Yingzhou enter did a trace of spirit return to her eyes.

"Xiaozhou, has your big brother really sacrificed himself? Why must my children suffer such hardships? Why has this world become like this? Why do my children always suffer such hardships!"

Mother Ying's voice was hoarse, which made Yingzhou feel heartache. This was a microcosm of the sufferers living in this world. For those children who Awakened Back Spirit, their fate did not become much better.

"Mom, this world is just like this, which is why those who Awakened Back Spirit fight against the Alien Race one after another. They want to change the situation before them and do not want the future of Human to become completely gray. I am also heartbroken by Big Brother's departure. Now, I only have you left as a relative, and I don't want anything to happen to you either. By the way, Mom, you can already be a grandmother."

Yingzhou's words caused Mother Ying's expression to change, and she asked in a confused tone, "Your sister-in-law, she is carrying your big brother's child?"

"Yes, so you must pull yourself together."

Yingzhou was truly not good at comforting people, but Mother Ying slowly spoke.

"Xiaozhou, don't worry. I know what you said, but your big brother is my child after all; how can I not be sad? I will not fall, you don't need to worry about me."

Yingzhou looked at Mother Ying's spirit being better than just now and said somewhat awkwardly, "Mom, actually, I have one more thing to do now that I'm back."

"What is it?"

Mother Ying looked at the uncharacteristically behaving Yingzhou, looked at Yingzhou with slightly turbid eyes, and asked.

"Actually, this time when I came back, I also brought back a child for you to help look after. He might be a little different from other children, but he does indeed have a trace of my bloodline."

After Mother Ying heard Yingzhou say these words, she asked in a hoarse voice.

"Can I see that child?"

Yingzhou soon brought back the child with pitch-black skin. Seeing Yingzhou's awkward way of holding the child, Mother Ying hurriedly said, "That's not how you hold a child!"

After placing the child beside Mother Ying, Mother Ying asked strangely.

"Why is this child's skin so black?"

"That is not a problem; he is like this by nature."
