Chapter 558: 559, cooperate with me (first update)

Mo Qingyi stretched out her hands to take the child away from Duanmu Zhe’s arms.

Although the child was a bit dark, the more she looked at him, the cuter he became.

His facial features were very delicate, and had he been a bit fairer, he also would have been a charming doll.

"He’s very heavy! Even I’m struggling to hold him! How could your little frame possibly carry him?" Duanmu Zhe stepped back, rejecting Mo Qingyi’s request.

Mo Qingyi eyed Duanmu Zhe from head to toe, squinting her eyes, "With your frail figure, as delicate as a woman’s, of course, you can’t carry him! Watch me!"

Duanmu Zhe was being too exaggerated! How heavy could such a small child be?

Duanmu Zhe curled his lips, "Then why don’t you give it a try?" As he finished speaking, he presented the child in front of Mo Qingyi.

Mo Qingyi extended her hands to receive the child, but as soon as she took him, her body suddenly sank downward! She nearly fell, but fortunately, Duanmu Zhe quickly caught her.

My God!

This wasn’t a child at all, but rather a little fat pig!

No!

He was even heavier than a little fat pig! He must be a huge fattened pig!

Duanmu Zhe held him effortlessly in his arms, as if he was not exerting any strength at all.

"I told you that you couldn’t carry him!" Duanmu Zhe took the child back into his arms.

Miao Xinran walked over, stroking her chin, "Aren’t you two exaggerating a bit too much?"

The child looked to be only six or seven years old, and although a bit chubby, surely he wasn’t that impossible to lift?

Mo Qingyi looked to Miao Xinran, "If you don’t believe it, you can try."

"I’ll just give it a try." Miao Xinran immediately rolled up her sleeves and accepted the child, not convinced.

Then there was a cry of surprise.

She could never have dreamed that the child would be so heavy.

Was he made of iron?

Qin Jinyong stood aside, pondering.

This child was clearly no ordinary person, so who was he exactly?

What was his relationship with Chu Jin?

As far as he knew, there was no record of this child in the guest registration at that inn.

In other words, he had come out of nowhere.

Since no one could carry the child, the task of holding him fell back onto Duanmu Zhe.

Duanmu Zhe sat on the ground holding the child.

Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran gathered around, sometimes touching the child’s braids, and sometimes pinching his cheeks.

Just then, the unconscious child slowly opened his eyes.

What met his gaze were three curious heads gazing at him intently—one of them joyfully exclaimed, "Xinran, look, he’s awake!"

Another said, "Wow, his eyes are so beautiful."

Yet another asked, "Little one, whose child are you? Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Then the three began to touch him all over, like they had discovered a new continent.

The child blinked and then opened his eyes again, finding that the scene in front of him hadn’t changed. He blinked and opened his eyes again, repeating this, his large, deer-like, lively eyes brimming with questions.

Dear heavens! What did these three people want to do? They couldn’t possibly be pedophiles with special tastes, could they?

Mmp! I am certainly not any child!

That’s right, the child was none other than Zi herself.

"Could this kid be stupid?" Mo Qingyi murmured, beginning to speak. Otherwise, why would she keep blinking at them? And when they asked her a question, she didn’t know how to respond.

Hearing this, Zi immediately pushed Duanmu Zhe away, "Stupid humans! You are the fools!"

The three of them: "..." This isn’t just a fool but also a chuunibyou!

Mo Qingyi squatted down, revealing a smile like that of a kind old aunt, "Child, what’s your name? How old are you this year?"

Zi crossed her arms over her chest and proudly tilted her cute little head up, snorted lightly, and remained silent.

The true being wouldn’t stoop to speak with you kids!

She carried herself with aloofness and coolness, and though she had a juvenile face, she behaved like a little adult, which was amusing to watch.

Seeing her act this way, Duanmu Zhe laughed too, "Hey, kid, pretty cocky, huh! You’ve got the style of your brother back in my days!"

Zi still held her head high, arrogantly ignoring them.

Mo Qingyi didn’t give up, continuing with a smile like that of a kind old aunt, "Little treasure, tell sister your name. How old are you this year? Where do you live? Sister will take you home, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Zi glanced at Mo Qingyi askance and said coldly, "Sister? Stop joking. I am over a thousand years older than you; technically, you ought to refer to me as your great ancestor! You bunch of toddlers aren’t worthy enough to know my name!"

Her youthful face was filled with a surprisingly mature tone.

She was like an elder who had seen it all.

She didn’t take them seriously at all.

Duanmu Zhe, who was next to her, burst into a cough, his laughter bringing tears to his eyes. Maybe this kid was sent by a monkey as a joke?

Mo Qingyi: "..." This child might truly be beyond help.

Miao Xinran picked up a sandwich and offered it to Zi with a smile, "Hey kid, are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

Zi placed her hands behind her back and just glanced sideways at Miao Xinran, answering coolly, "Even if I starve, I won’t eat your food."

"Then you’re really great," Miao Xinran gave her a thumbs-up and then tore open a bag of BBQ-flavored chips, starting to snack on them with a crunch. Instantly, the aroma of grilled meat filled the air.

Savory and delightful.

Just from the crisp sound, one could tell those chips must taste incredibly good.

Zi involuntarily swallowed, her throat rolling. The cunning humans! They’re actually tempting her with snacks! Does she seem like someone whose principles are so easily swayed?

Three minutes later.

"Wow! This is so tasty! And this too is really good." Zi, with a bag of chips in her left hand and a sandwich in her right, spoke with a face full of satisfaction.

"Wow! Beef jerky! My most favorite beef jerky!" Stars practically sparkled in Zi’s eyes.

Miao Xinran struck while the iron was hot, asking, "Kid, what’s your name?"

Zi, while stuffing chips into her mouth, replied, "The venerable one is called Zi, and by the way, do you have any sunflower seeds? I want the five-spice flavor."

Mo Qingyi saw through his foodie nature and immediately twisted open a bottle of drink to hand to him, "Have some water first, don’t choke. How old are you?"

Zi took the drink and gulped down several mouthfuls, feeling as though her life had been sublimated!

Momma mia! What kind of water is this? It’s so delicious!

Before, all she knew was to eat sunflower seeds and snack on chips; she had never known that there could be such delicious water in this world!

At that moment, Zi had forgotten her steadfast stance!

What even is a principle?

Can you eat it?

Zi happily munched on the beef jerky in her hand, then drank her grape-flavored beverage with satisfaction. Life like this was just too damn comfortable...

Humans were really clever, turning grapes into water, beef into jerky.

Not only did she have food and drink, but there were also people waiting on her.

"Sister Miao, you just go ahead and peel some sunflower seeds for me, I want the five-spice flavor."

"Sister Mo, you’re in charge of peeling some sugar-fried chestnuts for me."

"Little Mu, come over here and massage my legs."

Duanmu Zhe looked bewilderedly at Zi, "Are you calling me?"

"Who else but you? Is there a second Little Mu here?" Zi tossed a peeled chestnut into her mouth.

"You expect this young master to massage your legs?" Duanmu Zhe said disdainfully, "Dream on!"

This little brat, the nerve of her! To think she had the gall to boss around even him!

"Duan, Mu, Zhe!" Mo Qingyi issued a warning.

"I’ll massage, I’ll massage!" Duanmu Zhe immediately caved in, resignedly beginning to massage Zi’s legs.

Zi lay on the only chair like a lord, enjoying the services of everyone around her.

Because they knew Zi was Chu Jin’s lifesaver, Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi wished they could treat her like an ancestor and hold her in reverence.

It was just then, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan pushed open the cabin door and walked out.

She appeared to be in good spirits and didn’t look at all like someone who had been injured, dressed in a clean set of white clothes and black pants, standing beside the man, they looked particularly well-matched, like a perfect pair.

Qin Jinyong was the first to react, quickly approach, "Miss Chu, are you alright? We were so worried about you."

"I’m fine," Chu Jin slightly curved her lips and said in a gentle tone, "Don’t worry."

"Miss Chu, I also need to thank you for risking your life to save Xinran, if it weren’t for you, I really..." Qin Jinyong broke off, choked with emotion, and suddenly kneeled down in front of Chu Jin.

"Brother Qin, don’t do this," Chu Jin quickly pulled him up, "Xinran is my good friend; she has helped me a lot. It was only right for me to do this, you don’t have to act like this."

Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly and his thin lips parted, "A man’s knees are as precious as gold! What are you doing, crying and wailing like this!"

His voice was still as low and cold as ever.

"Ninth brother, Ninth sister-in-law, I’m sorry, I lost control of myself..." Qin Jinyong choking up, finally corrected himself.

"Big Brother Jin!" At that moment, Zi heard the commotion and no longer wanted her favorite sunflower seeds and beef jerky, sprinting towards them!

Just as she was about to embrace Chu Jin in a close hug, she was suddenly scooped up by a cold hand, and her feet instantly left the ground as she was enveloped by a chilling and daunting presence, struggling to breathe.

Duanmu Zhe silently lit a candle for Zi in his heart, the woman of Ninth Brother was not someone you could just touch. Sure enough, she was still too young.

Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran were happily hugging Chu Jin and cheering on the spot.

"Big Brother Jin, I’m so glad you’re alright."

"Jin, thank you."

A lifesaving grace, a simple thank you was ultimately too pale, but besides thanks, Miao Xinran could not think of any other words at the moment.

She was very grateful that Chu Jin was safe and sound.

In the days to come, she was willing to use her entire life to protect her.

"Big Brother Jin, we’re sorry, we should have listened to you and left this place overnight, then none of this would have happened..." The two apologized on their own initiative, heads lowered, eyes rimmed red, evidently they had been through life and death, and at this moment seemed to have matured suddenly, becoming much more composed.

"What’s done is done." Chu Jin hugged them both, patting their backs gently.

The scene was inexplicably touching.

"Zi, thank you." Chu Jin squatted down, looking Zi in the eyes, and spoke very seriously.

Zi, uncharacteristically, blushed, "Ah ya, it’s no trouble." Then she retreated to a corner, grinning like a 500-pound fatty.

"Big Brother Jin, you know him?" Mo Qingyi asked in surprise.

Chu Jin nodded, her expression unchanged, "Zi is a child from a distant relative’s family. I also didn’t expect to meet him here."

"Oh, so you’re all family. No wonder Zi is so cute."

Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi had always had unwavering faith in Chu Jin, even if Chu Jin claimed 1 was 2, both of them would agree and say, "Then it’s a 2!"

Qin Jinyong, on the other hand, frowned slightly.

He knew Chu Jin was definitely lying.

An ordinary child, in such a situation, would have been crushed into a meat patty by now, how could they still be hopping around unharmed! Women really are low in intelligence, so easily deceived!

Qin Jinyong squinted his eyes and slowly walked over to Mo Zhixuan, saying, "Ninth Brother, now that we’ve found Ninth Sister and the others, let’s head back. This place isn’t somewhere to stay for long."

Once they got back to the Capital City, he would come up with another plan. He refused to believe that his plan could be destroyed by Chu Jin. Could her luck really be so great every single time?

"That’s fine," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, his thin lips slowly exhaling a ring of smoke, a cold dignity seeping through.

Just then, Chu Jin suddenly realized she had lost her Pendulum and her face turned white. She said to Mo Zhixuan, "Hold on, I need to go back and search for something." If she remembered correctly, she should have carelessly left the Pendulum on the bedside cabinet. She hoped it was still there.

Mo Zhixuan looked at her, "I’ll accompany you."

Mo Qingyi and Miao Xinran promptly added, "We’ll accompany you too."

Mo Zhixuan cast a cold glance their way.

The two immediately fell silent.

Zi, while the others weren’t paying attention, sneaked to the back of the helicopter. His body transformed into a beam of light, entering the Purple Thunder space directly. He had just reached level 2, and there was a time limit for maintaining his physical form. Now that time was up, he had to return to the Purple Thunder space—a shame to leave the delicacies of the human world.

When Miao Xinran and Mo Qingyi noticed Zi was missing, they became frantically anxious, and after a long search to no avail, they reluctantly called Chu Jin for help.

All Chu Jin said was, "Don’t worry about him. After he’s had his fill, he’ll return home on his own," her tone indifferent.

This made Qin Jinyong even more curious.

Who exactly was this Zi, and where had he gone?

Chu Jin quickly found her Pendulum amidst the ruins, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to return with Mo Zhixuan.

Suddenly, a few soldiers carrying a stretcher approached. An elderly man, covered in dirt and grimy faced, hunched over, desperately crying out, "Doctor! Is there a doctor? Please come save my daughter! She’s dying! Is there a doctor...?"

His voice was close to despair.

There were doctors on the scene.

But everyone was occupied, battling with the Grim Reaper. In the vast disaster area, there were only a handful of doctors, and they simply couldn’t spare the time to tend to others.

Moreover, the girl on the stretcher was injured far too grievously—beyond the capability of rescue! Time was precious; they could not waste a single second.

Chu Jin halted, tightening the hand that Mo Zhixuan was holding. She valued her life and was also a doctor, so naturally, she couldn’t ignore such a situation.

She pursed her lips, then tugged Mo Zhixuan forward briskly, "I am a doctor, let me have a try."

Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyes, which had dimmed, instantly brightened again, "Doctor, please, I entrust my daughter to you, you must save her."

"Don’t worry, I’ll do my best," she replied in a clear and pleasant voice.

The soldiers carrying the stretcher couldn’t help but glance up at her—a very young woman with stunning features—but when their gaze met the man beside her, they quickly looked down again! This man was even more terrifying than their superior officers!

In the presence of the powerful, one has no choice but to bow their head.

They quickly moved the stretcher into the medical team’s tent and stopped. Several doctors were performing surgeries for patients.

The emergency medical supplies were very comprehensive.

With the stretcher put down, the soldiers left, and the old man stood by, tearfully wiping his eyes. The other doctors were all busy with their work as Chu Jin quickly donned rubber gloves and handed Mo Zhixuan a surgical mask, "Cooperate with me."

"Alright," Mo Zhixuan took the mask and secured it over his face, concealing most of his handsome features, and the chilling aura around him diminished significantly.

Just as Chu Jin picked up the scalpel, ready to begin, a stern voice came from the side, "What are you doing? You look unfamiliar; you’re not part of our medical team, are you?"

Chu Jin slightly raised her eyes, her tone calm, "I am going to perform surgery on her, to remove necrotic muscle tissue and extract the nail from her chest cavity!"

The medical team’s space wasn’t very large, so the doctors performing surgeries could almost see each other just by looking up.

Hearing this, a doctor who was stitching a wound paused briefly, questioning, "How old are you this year? Do you have any clinical experience? This is a matter of life and death, it’s not something to be toyed with!"
