Xia Yangyang was three months pregnant at full term.

Mr. Parasite became somewhat worried, and hesitated several times before finally stopping her just before she left for work.

"Can I take the day off today...?" It paused, then changed its tune and pleaded, "Can I take three days off?"

Xia Yangyang placed her hand on her flat stomach, which had no bulges at all.

She couldn't even sense any life in it.

Am I about to have a baby?

Mr. Parasite nodded, then seemed unsure: "It's time for the same species to reproduce."

It was quite lucky, really.

Xia Yangyang had prepared herself mentally for the possibility that this newly fused neuroblast could be implanted anywhere in her body.

Surprisingly, the fusion rate with normal eggs reached 100%.

Xia Yangyang put her slippers back on, hung her handbag back on the hanger, and took out her phone to call her supervisor to ask for leave.

Children's matters cannot be taken lightly.

Mr. Parasite was very nervous. It had a natural nest-building behavior, so it piled the blankets into a ring on the bed and laid a thick maternity towel underneath.

He tore off another piece of his own cell for later use.

Because it devoured too many of its own kind, the mutation caused by gene fusion enabled it to survive in the air without a host.

Its cells can temporarily serve as a host for newborn offspring.

It also sprouted a tentacle, which was always tied to its lover's arm.

Xia Yangyang wasn't nervous at all. On the contrary, she was drowsy due to pregnancy, and her movements and sitting were languid.

Although this was her first time giving birth in a physiological sense.

But she thought, such a small life doesn't need to go through the pain of bone splitting; at most, it will just go through a menstrual cycle.

But she never expected it.

I didn't experience any menstrual cramps at all; instead, an unbearable craving became intense.

It's like I'm being controlled by hormones.

She became unlike herself.

Fortunately, Mr. Parasite took excellent care of her, attending to her every need with meticulous attention to detail.

The moonlight made the girl's skin look as white as snow. She lay on her side, with one leg bent and hanging on her cool and comfortable partner beside her.

Her partner's body was stretched out, like a thick black python encircling her, cooling her down.

Xia Yangyang had no unnecessary words, and her eyes were lazily closed.

Her slender, fair hands casually touched its surface.

Only when the black python's tail tip has manipulated him to the extreme will he furrow his brow slightly and let out a low moan.

The rest of the time, even the black python couldn't tell whether its lover was asleep or awake.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yangyang felt a chill in her abdomen, and a sliver of clarity crept into her muddled mind as she glanced down at it.

They discovered that the black python's head was pressed against her lower abdomen.

"What's wrong?" she asked, only to find her voice unusually hoarse.

It's just like the aftereffects of insatiable greed and excessive indulgence.

Mr. Parasite used the tip of his tail to bring a glass of water to Xia Yangyang. Her gaze fell on the shiny, wet tail, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

I put it back with a hint of disgust.

He reached for the straw cup not far away and drank about half of it.

"Something's not right," Mr. Parasite suddenly said.

"Um?"

Xia Yangyang was stunned when she heard this; her voice was unusually low and cold.

She hadn't heard it speak in that tone in a long time.

"It ate it," Mr. Parasite said indifferently.

"What?"

"It ate the other one, the one that originally gave birth to it, its older brother."

When Mr. Parasite said these words, it seemed as if he was not talking about a child, but about an object, an emotionless inorganic machine.

Xia Yangyang knew that in twin embryos, the stronger one can devour the weaker one.

However, she was more concerned about another issue.

But even if you asked Mr. Parasite, he probably wouldn't know the answer to that question.

The union of humans and parasitic species is full of unknowns and surprises.

Xia Yangyang: [When is my due date?]

System: [You're only three months old, it's still early.]

Xia Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief for no apparent reason: [How long was that?]

The system scanned it with the detection instrument: [Hiss, it should be ten months. It looks like it's developing human organs... but there's something strange about its brain. It's too early to tell anything yet; we'll have to wait another two months to see how the genes are fusing.]

After confirming that the baby wouldn't be born in three months, Xia Yangyang went back to work.

Although she has enough money to live a life of leisure, she can't stay idle; she feels restless if she doesn't go out for a day.

Time slipped away little by little.

Xia Yangyang felt that the baby in her belly was very well-behaved. Everyone said that there would be pregnancy reactions in March and April, but she didn't have any and still ate well.

But Mr. Parasite became more and more anxious.

Especially when you look at her slightly protruding belly.

Xia Yangyang noticed that it was acting strangely every day. One night, she felt particularly hot. Even with the air conditioner set to its lowest setting in April or May, she was still sweating profusely.

She could vaguely hear someone talking.

She opened her eyes groggily and saw Mr. Parasite lying in front of her lower abdomen.

It has already sculpted human faces and upper bodies, although it is not very detailed and has an unrealistic modeling feel.

But at least every time Xia Yangyang saw his pleasing face, she felt much more at ease.

It particularly favored Qin Zhinan's face, finding him to be eight out of ten times similar.

It's unclear what it devoured, but the black of its upper body faded to flesh color, while its jet-black lower body grew into a long, thin shape, making it look even more like a half-human, half-python.

"No." Its voice was icy cold.

It was as if she was using her suppressive power to give orders to the child in her womb; her gloomy golden eyes radiated a terrifyingly cold light.

"You must not hurt Mom."

"..."

Xia Yangyang frowned, but drowsiness made her turn over and fall asleep again, though the heat inexplicably disappeared again.

As Xia Yangyang's belly grew bigger day by day, Mr. Parasite was no longer just anxious; his mood was also intertwined with exhaustion and an inexplicable ruthlessness.

He kept muttering, "It's too big," "It's too big."

No matter how Xia Yangyang tried to explain to it that human babies are naturally this big, it stubbornly stuck to its own opinion.

My belly is already quite big at six months, and loose clothes can't hide it.

She quit her job to focus on her pregnancy at home.

She was always sleepy, day and night, which made her sleep a lot but not very well. One night, when she got up to use the bathroom, she suddenly realized that Mr. Parasite was gone.

Perhaps this is not the first time it has disappeared.

She had a vague feeling that Mr. Parasite was doing something behind her back.

It's related to the child, it's related to her, but she thinks Mr. Parasite wouldn't harm her.

Xia Yangyang leaned back on the bed and poked her belly. The baby's movements had been particularly active recently. Whenever she put her hand on her belly, the baby inside would respond enthusiastically.

But lately, it has become increasingly lazy.

I tapped it again, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no response.

She tried to reassure herself that the baby needed to sleep, so she patted him again, but there was still no response.

A sense of unease welled up in Xia Yangyang's heart, so she called the system to scan her.

After the system finished scanning, I spat out a mouthful of tea. It scanned three or four more times: [It, it seems... it has stopped developing? Something is eating away at its brain, no... it's eating away at its neuroblasts, its neuroblasts are in its brain.]

Xia Yangyang: [What did you say? ???]

System: [Don't panic! The parasitic neuroblasts have a very strong self-healing ability. Just remove what's eating it! It will continue to grow!]

Xia Yangyang nodded, seemingly calm, but her trembling eyelashes betrayed her true inner turmoil.

She recalled that a while ago, Mr. Parasite had asked her to devour his neuroblasts.

They made countless excuses and undermined him in every way.

However, she only considered that she probably wouldn't stay for more than a few years after giving birth and would leave, so she never agreed.

Later, it stopped mentioning the matter.

Why doesn't it mention this anymore?

What is it doing now?

Xia Yangyang kept her head down, making it impossible to read her emotions. She gripped the blanket tightly, her fingernails almost tearing the blanket cover.

After a while, she lay back down on the bed, closed her eyes as usual, and hugged one of her pillows.

But he was pretending to be asleep.

Around four in the morning, a soft "click" was heard as the bedroom doorknob was carefully turned from the outside.
