Chapter 326: Chapter 326 - 318: The Child Isn’t His

Mo Qi said many, many things, all beautiful memories of their past.

Shen Qingli felt a gentle warmth stirring deep within her, her face showing signs of struggle as she bit her pale, dry lips.

In the end, she forcefully pushed him away and said coldly, "Those are already in the past. I don’t want to see you now! It’s best if you don’t appear in front of me again."

Mo Qi was filled with a desolate sadness, helpless.

Suddenly, Shen Qingli’s stomach growled, and she awkwardly touched her abdomen.

She knew she was a month pregnant now, yet there were no signs of it, because she hadn’t eaten much in prison lately. Surely, she was very hungry.

Mo Qi quickly stood up from the ground and said hoarsely and reluctantly, "You’re certainly hungry. I’ll go find you something to eat!"

After speaking, he looked deeply into her eyes under the moonlight, his deep eyes shining with affectionate tears, then turned and disappeared into the forest.

Initially, Shen Qingli didn’t want to have any more ties with this male who betrayed her, but she was too hungry to walk. She found a smooth rock nearby and waited for Mo Qi to return from hunting.

As the moonlight gradually moved westward, Shen Qingli slowly calmed down while waiting for Mo Qi, reflecting on past warmth, with a hint of guilt surfacing amid her anger.

In her childhood, when she was ridiculed and bullied, it was Mo Qi who saved her and brought her to live in a prosperous tribe, giving her the best care and love at the time.

Mo Qi stayed by her side all these years, never asking for anything in return.

Shen Qingli knew well that Mo Qi loved her, loved her madly.

She was too selfish, choosing to abandon him for her own desires.

Mo Qi was, after all, the son of the tribe leader, with a bright future, but he lowered his status to remain by her side as a male slave, making him unable to marry in the future.

The time she was caught at the hot springs, Shen Qingli was too tense and afraid, making hasty decisions, never considering that after abandoning him, Mo Qi would have no way out, so it was no wonder he acted so recklessly.

Thinking about her current situation, Shen Qingli felt a deep melancholy. She had lost everything and was back to the beginning.

Without Mo Qi’s protection and care, it would be hard to survive outside.

And then, the child in her belly...

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli felt a pang of regret. Had her words earlier been too harsh? Did they hurt Mo Qi’s heart too much?

Oh well, I’ll soften up when he returns. Mo Qi loves her so much, he’ll surely forgive her.

Shen Qingli waited and waited, sitting on the rock, but Mo Qi didn’t return.

Just as she was terribly hungry, close to fainting, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Mo Qi!"

Shen Qingli turned around joyfully, but in the next second, faced Zaxxis with his gloomy yet handsome face. Her face instantly went pale, frozen in place, and in the corner of her eye, she noticed the man holding a bloody head!

Blood had dirtied the messy brown hair, and the head still retained a terrified look, eyes wide open in death!

Zaxxis held the head aloft, striding over toward her casually as if he were carrying a juicy piece of meat from a hunt.

He raised an eyebrow at the pale and dazed Shen Qingli, lifting the object in front of her eyes and laughing maliciously, "Oh~ let me see, who upset my little darling? I heard this damned slave betrayed you and got you imprisoned, I avenged you, didn’t I?"

Shen Qingli stared at the bloody head, tears streaming down her face, and after a few seconds, she screamed, "Ah!", her legs weakening, and she fainted on the ground.

Zaxxis’ face changed drastically at the sight, casually tossing the head aside, he rushed to hold Shen Qingli in his arms.

The bloody head rolled down a slope, disappearing into a bush below.

Shen Qingli’s face was bloodless, frighteningly pale, covered in tears, and she was about to faint from darkness closing in on her vision.

Lakisis tenderly caressed her face, full of concern, "Oh dear, why are you crying? Are you too excited to see me?"

He seemed oblivious to the terror in her eyes, holding her chin up to force her to face him directly, smiling ever more gently, "I rushed to save you from your wedding capture, despite my injuries. Isn’t that touching? Come now, give me a smile~"

Since being seriously injured by Shen Tang at the rebel army’s den, Zaxxis had been recuperating for a long time, and henceforth feared Shen Tang, not daring to show his face easily.

If it weren’t for Shen Qingli’s issue, Zaxxis wouldn’t have risked conflict just to save her.

The man’s long, cold hands were stained with sticky blood, blood from another person!

He touched Shen Qingli’s face, turning half of it bright red with her disheveled hair and tattered clothes, along with her ghostly pale complexion, she looked like a vengeful spirit intent on taking lives in the night.

At this moment, Shen Qingli felt something deep within her, like glass shattering piece by piece, suddenly disappearing, leaving a hollow void.

"Ha... heh..." She laughed, but it sounded like crying.

Once more, she was left with nothing.

This time, even the one person who truly loved her in this world, was gone.

Overcome with anger, Shen Qingli suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood, yet it was black.

Immediately after, her lips turned dark purple, her whole body shivering from cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her body trembling uncontrollably, especially her belly aching terribly.

Oh no, it’s poison and it just took effect right on time!

Zaxxis’ face changed suddenly, hastily retrieving an antidote from the void and feeding it to her.

Thankfully, he arrived just in time, Shen Qingli’s poison was soon neutralized, without causing too much harm.

Zaxxis anxiously checked Shen Qingli’s belly, ensuring it was okay, then heaved a sigh of relief. His long, gloomy eyes even showed a hint of genuine tenderness and some kind of fervent excitement, "Darling, I heard you’re pregnant. How could I bear to kill you? Those things I said before, just take them as jokes."

"Look at you, staying in prison for so long, you’ve gotten so thin, it pains me. I’ll take you back right now to properly nourish your body, to welcome the birth of our child."

Shen Qingli knew well that if he hadn’t heard about her pregnancy, Zaxxis probably wouldn’t have come today, let alone been so kind as to give her the antidote.

He must have heard rumors that "this child she’s carrying is an oviparous child," thinking the child inside her was his!

But with the system’s help, Shen Qingli knew that this child was not Zaxxis’s.

Seeing the man’s excited expression, she dared not speak the truth. Under the deeply in-love buff’s influence, his jealousy would be stronger than before. If he found out the child wasn’t his, but another male’s, who knows what crazy thing he might do, Shen Qingli shuddered to think!

Shen Qingli’s face turned even paler, tightly grasping Zaxxis’s arm, forcing a smile, "Take me back, please. I’m afraid they’ll find out I’ve disappeared and come after me!"

"Heh heh~ with me here, what are you afraid of? I’ll protect you and the child." Zaxxis caressed her pretty, thin cheek lovingly, casually tearing open space and taking her away.

Once their shadows disappeared, some hungry beasts emerged from the forest, darting into the bushes behind, and soon, the sounds of gnawing bones and flesh resounded.
