Chapter 180 Shen Jinxi is Pregnant

Que Shiwen suddenly squatted down and grabbed Shen Jinxi's neck tightly. "Say it again, why can't we live?"

Shen Jinxi was forced to look up and meet Que Shiwen's gaze.

The next second, a crisp slapping sound rang out in the room.

Que Shiwen's face was slapped to one side, and a red handprint appeared on his right cheek.

"Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on me?" Taking advantage of the moment when the man was stunned, Shen Jinxi slapped him again. "Get out."

The final slap landed right around Que Shiwen's eyes, shattering the blood vessels in his eyeballs and turning his left eye bloodshot.

"Whether I die sooner or later, I'd rather die by my own hand."

Que Shiwen was determined to take revenge on Shen Jinxi.

Shen Jinxi also sensed Que Shiwen's determination and began to feel fear. Although she kept talking about death, she didn't really want to die.

"What do you want to do?"

"Life and death are in your own hands"—doesn't that mean you have to kill her?

“If you don’t tell me the truth today, I’ll go down and tell Huang Hao we’re going to die. What do you think they’ll do to you then?”

Shen Jinxi's heart tightened, and she clenched her hands, letting her nails dig into the soft flesh of her palms.

The others were fine, but Huang Hao was always leering at her. If he found out, she knew the consequences without even thinking.

Seeing that Shen Jinxi had fallen silent, Que Shiwen knew that she had softened and did not press her further.

“I did something wrong and Xingduan found out. Xingduan won’t let me off the hook.” Shen Jinxi still refused to tell Que Shiwen the secret.

Where is your system?

Que Shiwen was too lazy to pretend anymore and brought up the system directly, "We're not stupid. I know you erased He Zi's memories."

"Now, can you tell me the truth?"

Que Shiwen waited patiently by his side, completely different from before.

Shen Jinxi glanced at him, her throat tightened, and after thinking for a long time, she slowly recounted the story.

It took Que Shiwen half an hour to process all this information. Looking at Shen Jinxi, who looked disheveled and miserable, he understood why she had become like this.

The two sides remained silent for a long time.

Shen Jinxi grabbed the wine next to her and took a big gulp. The strong liquor burned her throat, making her face scrunch up.

Que Shiwen thought of a solution: "I have a way to solve this."

"What?" Shen Jinxi stopped drinking, her eyes filled with doubt.

"Having a baby."

The moment those three words were uttered, Shen Jinxi's expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "Impossible."

"Then we'll just wait to die."

Shen Jinxi remained silent, struggling internally.

The heavy snow had been falling for half a month, and many cities near the mountains had begun to experience snow disasters, with the snow collapsing countless orc houses.

Sang Tian made a decision.

"What, you really want to pause?"

Sang Tian nodded firmly, "I'm sure. With the heavy snow falling for so long, the temperature inside the shed is getting lower and lower. It's currently hovering around 18 degrees Celsius every day. If this continues, the valerian will not be able to survive in the shed."

"My suggestion is to get through this winter first. Anyway, more than a month has passed, and there are only about two months left. During this time, let the orcs who have nowhere to live stay in the sheds temporarily."

After hearing Sang Tian's reasoning, Tang Xiaoyan and Cang Lan no longer objected.

“There are many orcs in this area who are homeless, and the plantation may not be able to accommodate so many people.”

Sang Tian also knew that the plantation could not accommodate the current refugees. "They won't be staying for free. Someone needs to clear the snow off the roof every day. Anyone who doesn't will be kicked out. Then we'll select a few people with high mental strength from among them to manage the plantation. I believe it won't be difficult to maintain order."

Now, those orcs without homes can only pitch tents in caves.

Sang Tian entrusted this matter to Bai Mingchen, letting the people from the black market handle it, hoping to take this opportunity to build goodwill with the black market.

Sang Tian and Bao Zemin finalized the management of the residence and entrusted it to him to oversee.

The announcement of the residence permit attracted countless applicants.

Upon hearing that there were management positions with spirit crystal salaries, many orcs were eager to try.

Management positions are ruthless; those with strong abilities are given priority, and they can even use violence to combat violence when faced with violent individuals.

After a week of selection and screening, the residence currently accommodates 380 people, including 10 management positions.

The initial number was around 500, but when they heard that the settlement would close at 10 p.m. and that people would have to check the sleeping areas and do work every day, many lazy orcs backed out.

Although the selection process was complex and involved a lot of work, fortunately, those who entered the residence were all honest and law-abiding orcs.

One day, Tang Xiaoyan found Sang Tian and quickly pulled her to a secluded place, looking very mysterious.

"I'll tell you some shocking gossip."

Sang Tian asked, "What?"

"Shen Jinxi is pregnant."

This news was indeed shocking, and Sang Tian didn't react for a moment. "The Shen Jinxi I know?"

Tang Xiaoyan nodded repeatedly, "Isn't that exciting? I bet she's pregnant and trying to avoid something."

Sang Tian understood what Tang Xiaoyan meant.

Thinking to herself, no wonder Xingduan hadn't punished Shen Jinxi for so long; it turned out she had escaped punishment by getting pregnant.

"Shen Jinxi's special ability is still rare. With the environment so harsh now, it probably wants to breed beastmen or females with healing abilities like Shen Jinxi. This will come in handy when the environment causes beastmen to mutate in the future."

On the way here, Tang Xiaoyan had been thinking about why Shen Jinxi hadn't been punished yet. After figuring it out, it wasn't hard to understand why Xingduan was doing the same thing.

Xingduan has always been extremely lenient towards pregnant women, so it's not impossible that he might discard them after they've served their purpose.

"Let's see how she is after she's born. If she's just average, I bet the bad guys might just use her and then discard her."

Sang Tian has learned a lot about the cubs during this time.

As long as the parents have good genes, some beast cubs are born at grade B or above. The "ordinary" thing Tang Xiaoyan mentioned refers to normal beast cubs, whose spiritual power level is between FD at birth.

"It's a pity you didn't have children, otherwise, your child might have been born with an A grade?"

Sang Tian smiled and said, "This world is not a good world. We shouldn't let the next generation suffer the injustices we've experienced. Besides, the environment on the mainland is getting worse and worse. Wouldn't it be a tragedy to be born here?"

"What you said makes sense."

"You keep criticizing me, why don't you have children yourself? You seem to really like kids."

Tang Xiaoyan sighed, "I think it's better not to have children than to give birth and not raise them or have them taken away by someone else."

"You knew this would happen, yet you still made me give birth. What a sophisticated form of revenge."

Sang Tian clicked her tongue deliberately, clearly making a joke at Tang Xiaoyan.

"Let's not talk about that for now. How have you been lately? Have you been feeling unwell?"

Sang Tian shook her head, "No, it's still the same as before."

"That's good."

No sooner had they finished speaking than both of them received an email from Stardust.
