Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human

From the night he left the Changshi residence carrying that porcelain jar, he seemed like a completely different person.

His beloved has passed away, leaving him with no last lingering attachment.

From now on, only one thing remained in his mind: how to conquer all the southern territory in the shortest amount of time.

No matter how ruthless the methods or how blatant the ambitions, it doesn't matter.

In the first month, he led his army to capture three cities in succession.

In the second month, he divided his troops into two groups: one group moved eastward along the railway line to encircle the enemy, while the other group moved by waterway to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory.

In the third month, the enemy amassed a large force on the north bank of the Yuan River, attempting to use the natural barrier to block their southward advance. Lu Xize, with only 20,000 men, successfully crossed the Yuan River upstream, tearing a 30-mile-long gap in the enemy's defenses overnight.

He didn't value his own life, much less the lives of the enemy.

Everyone in the south knows that a "King Yama Lu" has come to the north.

It is said that wherever he goes, rivers of blood flow;

It is said that in every city that resisted, not a single survivor was left after the city fell.

It is said that his marching speed is faster than a telegram; often, he is already at the city gates by the time the message is received.

When the news reached Lu Xize's ears, he was on the hillside.

While eating, a military doctor bandaged his abdomen for shrapnel wounds.

He swallowed the last bite of steamed bun, picked up the kettle and took a sip, saying casually, "So be it, let him be."

Wang Shu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Young Marshal, but the rumors outside are really... too much. They say we killed prisoners of war, and that we didn't even spare the common people."

"Ordinary people?"

"Yes, the rumors are pretty outrageous. They say that every time we conquer a city, we massacre the inhabitants for three days..."

Lu Xize glanced at him.

What do you think?

"Of course I know it's not true. But if this gets out, it will be really bad for your reputation... I'm speaking up for you! You treat prisoners of war and civilians so well, you're not some kind of devil."

Lu Xize tightened the lid of the water bottle, placed it on the grass at his feet, and his lips twitched as if he wanted to laugh: "What do I need fame for?"

When did he ever have that kind of thing?

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned and covered his head with his right hand.

Wang Shu immediately stopped talking and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, Young Marshal? Is your head starting to hurt again?"

Perhaps it was the dampness and cold from the south that entered his brain, or perhaps it was the grief that caused him to suffer from headaches ever since he learned of the death of the eldest young mistress.

However, the military doctors could not find the cause of the illness, let alone prescribe any medicine.

When the pain gets really bad, I can only take some painkillers.

But now even painkillers are gradually losing their effectiveness.

This was the first time Wang Shu had ever seen this man, who could remain unfazed even when flesh was being cut and bones scraped, forced to roll around on the ground by a headache.

Wang Shu couldn't help but suggest again, "Why don't we go and see that Kangcheng Medical Clinic that the young master mentioned? I heard that the doctor there studied under one of the four most famous doctors in Beiping, and he's the best doctor here that you can trust."

Wang Shu mentioned the young marshal's headache in his report to headquarters.

The eldest son was very concerned and urged the young marshal to take good care of his health several times.

After a moment, Lu Xize's paleness subsided somewhat, and his tone hardened: "Even when climbing a mountain, you don't turn back; in war, there's no reason to turn back."

Having now successfully crossed the Yuan River, the morale of the troops has greatly increased.

How could he possibly diminish his spirits at this moment because of a minor headache or fever?

"But—" Wang Shu still wanted to persuade him.

"Wait a little longer. Once I've wiped out all the remaining gangs around the Yuan River, I'll go back to see a doctor."

Wang Shu wore a bitter expression, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

A pair of scissors fell.

The gauze was neatly wrapped around the neck once.

It was tied into a beautiful bow by a pair of fair and delicate hands.

"Whoosh~ The pain has flown away, flown away~ It doesn't hurt anymore~"

A girl in a light blue dress was pressed against a large "black rock," puffing out her cheeks and gently blowing air into it, one breath at a time.

He gently stroked the smooth part of the stone, his eyes filled with heartache.

The scene was strange.

But when they saw the whole thing, they realized that it wasn't a black rock at all, but a giant python as thick as a bowl, its body taking up almost half the room.

It was coiled up on the carpet, with only the head of the large snake resting on the table.

A freshly wrapped white bow was placed on her head.

The black python's head was clearly asymmetrical, with the right side of its head collapsed, as if a large chunk had been shoveled away with a knife.

Yes, this black python is Black Bean.

As for why he became the way he is now.

As Xia Yangyang fed Xiao Heidou fresh chunks of meat mixed with herbs, she was lost in memories.

The fire spread rapidly inside the house, but she couldn't stop giving birth.

The only midwife and her apprentice were like brain-dead NPCs.

Upon seeing the fire, they were completely stunned and could only scream, unable to think of going outside to call for help.

So she called out, and the two of them called out too.

They were all mixed up together and had no idea what was going on.

People were still conservative in their thinking, and with Lu Shaohuai's leg injury, no one else dared to rush in.

By the time people outside smelled the smoke and rushed in, the fire was already out of control.

When the others came in to put out the fire, they saw a giant black python with gold flecks surrounding the birthing bed. In the flames, it attacked anyone who approached it indiscriminately.

The fire scorched its scales, but it neither avoided nor hid.

A collapsed roof beam crashed down, its immense weight slicing away almost half of his right brain, leaving it a bloody mess.

It just twisted its upper body violently.

Her body shielded the baby on the delivery bed, never leaving her side.

Even Lu Shaohuai, who had seen many grand occasions, was speechless with astonishment at the sight. Seeing that the python showed no intention of harming her, he instructed his servants to put out the fire first.

The fire has been extinguished.

At the same time, a loud, innocent cry came from under the python's belly.

She was exhausted and nearly unconscious, and Hei Dou was also seriously injured, but she still protected him fiercely, her elongated snake eyes watching Lu Shaohuai who was slowly approaching warily.

As he tried to reach out and pull the child out, Black Bean opened its blood-red maw, its fangs terrifying, and tried to twist his head off.

She struggled with her last bit of strength and stroked Black Bean's body.

"Shut up... Give him the child."

It made a low, gurgling sound in its throat, as if confirming something.

Then it slowly retracted its fangs.

It slowly retracted its head.

Slowly parting the gap, just enough for Lu Shaohuai to put his hand in.

Lu Shaohuai then successfully took the child away.

What I have witnessed today is beyond the explanation of science. There are too many people who have seen it. If word gets out that humans and pythons are spiritually connected, they will surely be burned alive as monsters.

Therefore, Lu Shaohuai made a decision.

He set the villa ablaze.

They found the body of a female death row inmate in the prison who had a similar build to hers to use as a cover.

They quietly transported the person and the snake out of the Lu residence...

From that day forward, there was no more Madam Xia, the wife of Young Master Lu.

There was only a female doctor who ran a small clinic.
