Chapter 351: 334 Life and Death Inferno (Second Update)_2

However, what surprised him was that Su Xiaofeng actually had enemies, and it was the kind of enmity where it’s either you or me.

Indeed, beautiful women are poisonous, or rather, deadly poisonous.

...

Xiaofeng checked the time, and it was already past eleven at night.

Usually, at this time, Ye Cheng would have arrived.

It might be that something had delayed him on the road, and she had fallen asleep without realizing it. In the middle of the night, she suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen, the kind of pain that clenched tight, as if someone was tensing up your muscles from the inside.

Was this a contraction?

Yes, it must be a contraction; many people have contractions to varying degrees before giving birth.

The pain came and went, and it was about half an hour later that it hurt again for the second time.

Both Aunt Mei and her mother had said that there’s no need to hurry at the beginning of contractions, but this was her first child, and contractions were starting now; of course, she was nervous.

A thick smoke rose from downstairs, seeping through the glass windows and filling the room.

"Achoo." Xiaofeng tried to stand up from the bed but found herself utterly weak and unable to do so. Smelling the smoke, Xiaofeng understood that her inability to stand was definitely related to the smoke.

After the smoke, there would be a raging fire.

The fire downstairs was like a massive serpent, rising up to engulf the two-story building before her.

Xiaofeng opened her mouth and shouted, "There’s a fire, there’s a fire."

But she found her voice hoarse as if on fire, barely able to raise the volume.

Indeed, she had felt overheated since morning, feeling a strong internal heat, which seemed to have inflamed her throat as well, making it strenuous even to speak loudly.

She lay in bed, urgently calling for Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, come out quickly."

Xiaoqi was also weakly lying in the space, "Master, the space is afraid of fire. When it encounters fire, a lot of the Spiritual Energy in the space disappears at once. Master, you must hold on, you have to endure."

Everything has its nemesis, and space is no exception.

The space belongs to water because only water has the capability to nurture everything within the space, but water fears fire.

"Why am I so weak, is it because of the smoke outside, or because they are coming out?" Xiaofeng watched as the fire grew bigger and bigger, feeling desperate.

"It’s because of the fire," Xiaoqi began to explain. "The space is afraid of fire, and since the master carries the space, encountering fire will undoubtedly make you completely weak, even worse than a normal person."

"No, Xiaoqi, I can’t just lie here and wait to die. I have to get out," Xiaofeng said, understanding immediately upon hearing Xiaoqi’s words.

The space fears fire, and as the holder of the space, she naturally also felt the pull of the space’s power.

"Master, I will use the remaining Spiritual Energy of the space to protect you and the little masters. You must find a way to break out. Only by getting away from the source of the fire can the space function," Xiaoqi cautioned. If the fire became larger, the power of the space would weaken more, and the pull on the master’s body would grow stronger.

Xiaofeng felt around the bed to get off, her hands touching a book. She picked up the book, putting all her strength into smashing the window, hoping the sound of breaking glass would wake her mother and big brother downstairs.

He Ximei woke from her sleep to find firelight flaring up all around her, which was horrific.

The blanket on her bed had already caught fire.

Startled, her sleepiness vanished as she started to scream loudly, "Fire, fire!"

Pengzi and Xiaofeng were sleeping upstairs, and she and Aunt Mei were sleeping downstairs; she banged vehemently on Mei Sanying’s door, "Big sister, wake up, wake up, there’s a fire, there’s a fire."

After knocking on Mei Sanying’s door, He Ximei rushed upstairs, "Pengzi, Xiaofeng, wake up, there’s a fire!"

"Mom." Pengzi woke up to the noises, "Mom, I’m okay."

He Ximei thought of Xiaofeng’s condition and her expression changed, "Xiaofeng, go check on Xiaofeng."

Xiaofeng’s due date was almost here, and if she was about to give birth at this time, that would be troublesome.

"Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng." Su Peng and He Ximei tried to push the door open but discovered that it was bolted from the inside. She usually slept alone in her previous life, so she had the habit of bolting the door when she slept, and it was the same now.

There was no response inside, and Su Peng became anxious. He picked up a brick nearby and began to smash the door: "Xiaofeng, it’s on fire; wake up fast."

He Ximei anxiously patted the window: "Feng, Xiaofeng, wake up; it’s on fire."

Xiaofeng usually didn’t sleep so soundly. Why was she sleeping so deeply today, with no response at all?

"Mom, you go down first. I’ll break the door, carry my sister downstairs; you go down first." The fire was getting bigger and bigger; if his mom didn’t leave, they would all be trapped in the fire.

"Mom won’t leave; even if Mom dies, she wants to be with you." He Ximei had already knocked open the window and saw that Xiaofeng had woken up but had no strength at all and simply couldn’t get out of bed.

"Not good, Xiaofeng is going into labor." He Ximei realized this: "Pengzi, let’s both try to break the door."

Time was of the essence; they couldn’t afford any delay.

"Okay." Both tall and strong, in the smoke, they only heard a loud bang—the door was broken open.

"Xiaofeng."

"Feng, how are you?"

"Mom, brother." Xiaofeng, looking at her big brother and her mom coming in, had tears in her eyes: "I’m afraid I’m about to give birth; I have no strength at all."

...

Ye Cheng, carrying a few boxes of milk powder and some nutritional supplements for pregnant women, was somewhat unable to calm himself down.

In a few more days, he would become a father.

No matter who the child’s father was, he was going to be their father in the future.

He had just found a hotel to settle Uncle Quan’s family before coming over, and this visit was much quicker.

"It’s on fire, it’s on fire." The residents in the alley had discovered this fact and were running to tell others,

Ye Cheng looked up and indeed saw that not far away, a small building was on fire, with fierce flames engulfing it.

That direction, that location... Xiaofeng.

Ye Cheng threw the things in his hands and ran towards the building at full speed.

If someone had seen him at that time, they would have been surprised by his speed, as if he were an arrow shot from a bow.

"Everyone, please help put out the fire; there’s a pregnant woman inside." Mei Sanying, seeing the fire in front of her growing larger and larger, was so anxious that she was in tears.

"Mei Daniao, the fire is so big; even if we want to go in, we are too scared." Neighbors were arriving one after another, and, seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, they were hesitant to approach.

"I’ve already called, already alerted the authorities. The firefighters should be arriving very soon."

"Look, is there someone upstairs?"

"It’s a pregnant woman; she seems to be going into labor." Those outside looking at the situation upstairs had their hearts in their throats.

"My God, why would she go into labor at this time?" With a big fire inside, how could the pregnant woman come out if she really was about to have a baby?

Xiaofeng’s contractions were getting more intense one after another; it was as if the little thing inside wanted to burst through layers of her belly and come out.

"Feng, hang in there; you mustn’t push. There’s a big fire everywhere; the child can’t be born here." He Ximei’s face was covered in dust; she was frantic.

How did the house, which was fine, suddenly catch fire?

"Mom, I have no strength at all; even if I wanted to exert force, I can’t." Xiaofeng’s head was heavy and foggy; at one point, she thought she was going to faint.

"Hold on." Su Peng gritted his teeth and picked up Xiaofeng: "Mom, go down first; I’m worried about you being behind."

"Okay, you all be careful." He Ximei glanced at the upstairs one more time, pinched her nose, and rushed downstairs.

"Sis, you have to hold on tight to me; we’ll rush down together. For the sake of the child, you must hang in there." Su Peng bit his teeth, preparing to carry Xiaofeng and rush downstairs in one breath.

Xiaofeng nodded: "Okay."

With a fizzing sound, the electrical wires at the stairwell were burned, blocking the stairway and raising fierce flames, blocking the path downstairs.
