Chapter 456: Finally Found a Way to Deal with That Woman
Morning of the 21st.
Chen Yingqiu got up early, humming a song while making breakfast for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at the woman with a surprised expression.
Last night she was on the brink of death on the straw bed, yet she got up this morning full of vigor.
In the past, Lin Feng wouldn't have dared to believe that.
But now…
When he saw Chen Yingqiu bring the breakfast to the table, Lin Feng grabbed her hand and pulled her into the room.
"What are you doing?"
Chen Yingqiu stared at Lin Feng with wide eyes.
There was actually a hint of expectation in that gaze.
"Let me see!"
Lin Feng said.
Chen Yingqiu lowered her head and wrapped her arms around Lin Feng's neck.
She looked shy.
A moment later…
Lin Feng finally learned the truth!
The truth after that day of playing cards!
Chen Yingqiu cried, shedding many tears.
The heartless one actually stood her up.
That day, Lin Feng did not leave.
Practice is the hard truth that tests reality.
In the evening, Lin Feng could finally be sure that Qi Yao was deceiving himself… well, not really, just that he didn't understand the truth.
"You go! Hurry and go! I don't want to serve you anymore."
Chen Yingqiu escorted Lin Feng out the door.
She covered her waist while speaking.
Her external wound has healed, but Lin Feng cannot cure internal injuries.
Lin Feng wore a smug expression.
"Remember to register my cousin's household for me!"
Chen Cungu reminded.
"Got it!"
Lin Feng waved his hand.
"Goodbye! I'll miss you," Chen Cungu said, feigning reluctance.
"It's getting dark…"
"Bang~"
Before Lin Feng could finish speaking, the door was slammed shut.
Lin Feng knew she was leaning against the door, watching him through the peephole.
He then entered the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor.
After reaching the seventh floor, Lin Feng took the stairs, searching floor by floor.
The mysterious woman was probably somewhere in this building.
There were some things Lin Feng had to figure out.
Sure enough, when he got to the fourth floor, Lin Feng smelled something.
At room 402, Lin Feng rang the doorbell.
The door opened quickly.
What appeared before his eyes was Mei Wu.
Mei Wu let Lin Feng into the room.
"I still don't know your name!" Lin Feng said lightly.
"My name is Mei Wu," Mei Wu replied.
Lin Feng nodded and sat down on the living‑room sofa.
Mei Wu also sat down beside Lin Feng, took his hand and placed it on her slightly rounded belly.
"May I ask, how long until the baby comes out?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
Mei Wu glanced at the moon outside and said, "The moon has been full thirty‑six times."
Lin Feng, shocked, exclaimed, "Three years!! You're carrying Nezha, aren't you!"
Of course, the lunar calendar and the solar calendar differ.
But even by the lunar calendar, that's still over two years.
Mei Wu explained, "We could make the baby come out earlier, but that would be bad for the baby.
The longer the gestation, the better, and my body has already changed, which is also bad for the baby."
"Can it still be like this?"
Lin Feng looked shocked.
Mei Wu said, "Human gestation periods are fixed, and the ability to adapt to the environment is poor."
We witches, if we are willing, can have the baby… be born in four months.
Lin Feng was startled for a moment and said, "If bringing the child into the world early would be bad for the child, then let's carry it for a longer time!"
The younger witch nodded.
Lin Feng suggested, "How about coming back with me? There will be more people to look after you."
"No!"
The younger witch refused outright.
There is a terrifying woman by Lin Feng's side!
"Why?"
Lin Feng asked.
The younger witch remained silent.
After a moment she spoke, "I'm leaving, returning to the place where I previously slept. After another 33 full moons, come find me!"
Lin Feng furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Put me into that pool of water, and don't let anyone disturb me."
The younger witch said again.
"Um… okay!"
Another trip to the grassland is needed.
Then, putting the woman who is pregnant with my child into a coffin and sinking it in the lake—what kind of experience is that?
"Boy or girl?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
The younger witch asked Lin Feng, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"
"That's possible?"
Lin Feng looked surprised.
The younger witch said, "It's possible; the mother can decide the child's gender."
Lin Feng thought for a moment, "A girl then! I want a little cotton coat, not a troublesome one."
Actually, Lin Feng felt a bit guilty.
He feared that a boy born from the younger witch would challenge his position.
From the younger witch one can see that Witch Tribe women are very gentle!
Every race has at least two sides.
If women are gentle, that means men are ruthless.
That's how it is over there in the little days.
The younger witch nodded, "Alright!"
The child's gender was thus decided.
Lin Feng still had many questions.
He organized his thoughts and asked, "Your Witch Tribe ancestors weren't people from Earth, were they?"
The younger witch said, "Yes! Tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors fled here because of war. Then they became trapped here and have never been able to leave."
"Aliens!? So you can build spaceships?"
Lin Feng looked at the younger witch with hopeful anticipation.
The younger witch shook her head, "We could, but we can no longer make them. Otherwise we wouldn't have stayed here; the environment here is too poor."
"Why can't you make them anymore?"
Lin Feng shook his head with regret.
"I don't know either," the younger witch said, shaking her head.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and then understood.
It's actually simple.
Advanced tools require advanced factories to be produced.
It's a series of massive projects.
Throw a large group of aircraft engineers into ancient times and ask them to build a modern advanced plane; they certainly couldn't.
Gliders would be about as close.
At this moment the younger witch volunteered, "Our technology is different from yours. Originally, we altered Earth's environment, expending a huge amount of energy.
Now there are many intelligent weapons protecting this planet, but their energy is waning and they won't hold out long.
Of course, this isn't solely for you; it's also for ourselves. If this planet is destroyed, we cannot survive either.
Don't ask any other questions; even if you do, I won't answer…'
After speaking, the younger witch cast a deep glance at the moon.
Lin Feng's questions, of course, were still many.
How did such a powerful Witch Tribe meet its downfall?
Those ancient legends—like the primordial world, the prehistoric great flood, Atlantis, secrets about the moon, and so on.
Although these are myths, there must be original events and figures, right?
What's the truth, after all?
By the way, do the creatures recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas actually exist?
"Fine, I won't say…"
Lin Feng furrowed his brows, expressing dissatisfaction.
The young witch didn't make a sound.
At the same moment.
In the laboratory on Jasmine Island.
Qi Yao stared wide-eyed at what was seen through the microscope.
A portion of the blood collected from the young witch quickly lost its vitality under the corrosion of some metal particles.
This is a rare metal refined from a bronze sword dating back thousands of years.
Qi Yao could figure this out because she has meticulous thinking.
Thousands of years ago, ancient people used only bronze ware.
And at that time, it was when the Witch Tribe people were being massively slaughtered.
So the weapons left from that time definitely have the function of restraining the Witch Tribe.
The metallic substance contained in the bronze sword is not recorded in the periodic table; it should come from meteorites.
This also explains why the ancestors of Huaxia were so formidable, with rulers driving the Witch Tribe people like slaves.
But in other parts of the world, the Witch Tribe people were revered as gods by rulers.
Because they lacked or rarely had such weapons to deal with the Witch Tribe.
You should know that bronze ware unearthed from Skewed State dating back thousands of years is rare.
"Finally found a way to deal with that woman; he won't have to worry anymore…"
Qi Yao curled the corner of her mouth, muttering.
Saying that, she rubbed her own belly.
During this time, I've only been doing experiments; my period hasn't come for over a month…
