SUMMARY
Yu Dong , a cultivator from the zombie apocalypse transmigrated over to another world after she died fighting a mob of zombies
- the moment she opened her eyes , someone told her that her wife was giving birth
- Yu Dong was stunned , she hurriedly reached to touch her chest , to check whether or not she was still a woman
- the two perky mounds told her she was
- instantly she looked at her bottom , she wanted to check whether or not she was a ' real woman ,' but before she could
- she was hauled to where her wife was giving birth
- and what she saw made her want to pass out again -
Because her wife was a man ! And she didn't have just one wife but three !
Yu Dong looked at the man who was groaning on the bed and nearly blacked out- whatever at least she didn't have to chop zombies for living , right ?
Dong Dong ! Dong Dong !"
Who ? Who was calling her ? Yu Dong was stunned and confused , her mind felt blurry and woozy like someone has hit the back of her head with a brick, where was she ? What was she doing ? The last thing she remembered was being outnumbered by a group of zombies - and why was her spiritual energy in so much chaos ?
Even though Yu Dong had no idea what was going on , she still used whatever energy she had to check her internal condition - did she suffer from some internal injuries or something ?
Her spiritual energy responded at once after checking her meridians and the result was - she consumed too much drugs ! Drugs ! DRUGS ! That made Yu Dong sit up straight alright , she was a zombie control officer with an apocalypse over her head where will she get the money to do drugs ? Has her inner world gone crazy ?
But if this much wasn't enough to confuse her - what was more , the sky above her head was blue - freaking blue like she has seen in the old pictures of her ancestors and the surroundings were flourishing with greenery - there were trees that were a shade of beautiful green and a river stream that was clean and crystal clear .
Yu Dong was confused - where was the red smokey coloured sky of the apocalypse ? Where were the muddy rivers which they have to filter with their spiritual energy before they could drink it ? And how come so many plants were growing up without the special care of agriculture experts who like her had awaken spiritual energy of nature .
And why was her body not hurting ? Wasn't she buried under a pile of zombies ?And why was she feeling like she needed to vomit.She waited and waited and waited for the pain of being ripped and chewed apart to come but nothing - there was no pain except the emptiness and wooziness of being drunk as a skunk .
" Oh you are awake " exclaimed a gruff woman's voice , then maybe the woman caught sight of her green complexion and severely scolded " don't you dare to vomit on my cart , Dong Dong ! I had used up all my savings and strength to pull you out of that tavern - dodgy place , Don't know what you were thinking !"
Huh ? Tavern what Tavern ? Wasn't she at the town squire ?
Yu Dong looked up , her head was still throbbing but thanks to her spiritual healing she could at least repair some of the damage done
to her body , unlike before where her eyes couldn't focus on one thing - now she could finally have a clear view of the woman who was driving the ox cart - she was middle aged , yet she looked sturdy except for her skin was a waxy yellow colour that showed lack of nutrition .
Yu Dong was even more confused ,a second before she was fighting with zombies now she was being reprimanded by this woman in just another second , what was happening ? Who was this woman ?
The woman sighed "Dong Dong you are really good ! Drinking and frolicking around when your wife is giving birth ? How can you - is your wife and child more important or that little slut in the tavern ?"
Then the woman paused and looked at Yu Dong sympathetically "I know that you don't like your wife and even if - even if your wife is like that , they are still kind to you aren't they ? How can you abandon your wife when - you still carried your wife through your doors and made your wife your own person , didn't you ? Now that your wife is in labour how can you go frolicking leaving your wife in hands of others ?"
Yu Dong , understood none of this - she subconsciously reached for her sword , finally coming on to the conclusion that the person in front of her was most probably an illusion flower but just as her hand reach to her waist , she realised that her sword was missing .
Bloody hell ! This was not her body ! Her sword 's existence was branded in her own body , meaning that only with the destruction of her body would the sword be severed , if it was not here - then - then where was she and whose body was this ?
Yu Dong pinched her cheeks , then looked around a little more attentively - this wasn't her world . There was nothing so clear and clean and beautiful in her world ( keep your surroundings safe and clean or the apocalypse ain't far from us either ) , so she died ? Yu Dong did remember being out numbered - the latest mutation of the zombies were highly intelligent and smart , they learned how to hide and lure humans and this was why she was attacked , if her sword wasn't here and she was not in her own world - tears sprung in her eyes , Oh God , she died didn't she ? Now what will happen to her little brothers ?
For ten years they were dependent on her now all of sudden they have to rely on each other ? At least they had enough food and water stored in their inner world for quiet a few years .
Maybe by then , they will grow up ? And learn how to use their spiritual energy - Yu Dong knew there was no chance for her to return not when her body was torn and eaten - she could only hope that her brothers would be able to live a proper life without her .
After grieving for a few minutes , Yu Dong finally recovered and sniffed - this was what she had learned from her experience how many officers sacrificed themselves so that the common people could live their lives safely ? She wasn't the first and she wasn't going to be the last either .
At least she was lucky enough to get a chance to live again - even if it was someone's else body .
Yu Dong sighed , now that she finally calmed herself down she finally started to understand what happened - while she was fighting the zombies , the Yu Dong of this world was having a nice time , drinking and having fun with the number one prostitute of the town . The Yu Dong might have overdosed herself on drugs maybe And died at the same time she lost her life .
" you said my wife is in labour ?" Asked Yu Dong finally grasping the most important bit of the conversation at the same time , she reached to touch her chest and only relaxed when she felt the squeezy soft feeling .
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
At least she still had these - wait what if ? She looked down at her tattered pants and gulped - oh no , please no .
That would be down right weird .
" yes , your wife went in labour an hour ago "the woman saw that Yu Dong didn't look a lot concerned about Mrs . Yu and felt bad for Yu Dong 's wife .
Yu Dong was actually nervous but she was a spiritual cultivator it just wasn't her nature to act in a frenzy or anxious way .
Yu Dong wasn't anxious but The woman was , she hurriedly whipped her ox and the ride became even more bumpy - Once or twice Yu Dong felt an urge to vomit .
God , how she missed her strong and sturdy body - not only did she died , she transmigrated in an alcoholic's body with a wife and child on its way - she , Yu Dong , the old bachelor of her squad was finally married , just like that ? And why was this woman driving an ox cart shouldn't it be a job of man ?
After what looked like a promised bumpy ride until her body might crumble to dust , the ox cart finally stopped and the woman dragged her to her house - calling it a house was really giving it a lot of face through it had a lot of rooms all of them were cracked and the roofs were leaking .
The fences were almost breaking but at least the yard was big , that was comfort to Yu Dong .
The woman dragged her all the way up to the room where the screams of pain and agony were resonating - the woman pushed open the door and Yu Dong wanted to stop her from doing so because they haven't sterilised themselves but it was too late the door to the labour room was opened - and laying on top of the bed was a gorgeous looking through a sickly complexion with a nine months pregnant belly - man !!!

Yu Dong stood on the door way and her entire expression was something really weird , she stared at the man with a pregnant belly and her mouth dropped , she felt like her three views of the world were crumbling - what happened to biology ? What happened to XX and XY chromosomes ? What happened to uterus and what not ? How come a man got pregnant , if her wife was a husband - shouldn't she be the one with a pregnant belly ?
She was shocked but the three husbands of The previous Yu Dong were even more shocked - how come their wife returned home so soon ? What was she doing here ? Shouldn't she be at the tavern with that Xiaohua , enjoying the time of her life ?
The one who was scared the most was the man who was groaning on the bed , he still remembered that Yu Dong got mad at him last night because he was making too much noise , thus , even though he was feeling like he was on the death 's door , he pursed his lips and turned silent , clutching his belly - his life wasn't important but the child in his belly was , if his wife got angry and she actually did something in her anger , he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences !
The one with a high ponytail and sharp features glanced at Yu Dong and his features hardened , if not for this woman being his wife , he would have thrown her out ! How dare she come here after doing what not with that prostitute !
However , he didn't - instead he looked at the man who looked the gentlest of all, the man with gentle features frowned but he still smiled politely and said " Wife - you haven't wash yourself yet why don't you take a bath before entering ?"
Yu Dong was waiting for this the moment she got an excuse , she hurriedly turned around and left , not caring whether she looked like a serious douche bag who abandoned her pregnant girlfriend - no , boyfriend .
Instead she hurriedly escaped to the kitchen and sat down clutching her hair , ' my wife is a man ' , ' my wife is a man who is pregnant with my child '
She kept muttering in her head but even after constant muttering , she still couldn't wrap her head around the reality that belonged to her now , a man actually got pregnant and he was also in labour ever since last night ? What was wrong with this world ?
The woman who brought her back , followed her to the kitchen , saw Yu Dong sitting there clutching her hair and sighed , she really didn't know how to make Yu Dong understand " Dong Dong , I know you are not happy with your husbands ( wife ) because they are not as beautiful as other Mers but they are still your husbands aren't they ? Don't you think its a little heartbreaking for them if you abandon then when they need you the most ?"
Mers what were mers ?
" I really can't believe that you actually went to the tavern and had that happy powder , people say it rots the brains of whoever who eats it yet here you are " exclaimed the woman as she busied herself and started boiling some water for Yu Dong to clean herself .
Rots people brain ? Happy powder ? Maybe that would explain why she had no recollection of this world , instantly she stopped the purification of her body and sent her spiritual energy to her brain , it took only a few moments for the fog to clear and finally Yu Dong realised that this world was not like earth , unlike the three genders of the earth - this world's gender hierarchy was totally different - this world didn't have much men thus they were treated like some rare gems , they were treated as princes , while the women whose population was higher than men went out for work and was responsible for earning money while the men stayed at home and waited to be spoiled but since their population was less that 1% women liked to spoil their man if they were lucky enough to marry one .
But except for these two genders there was another gender , a gender that was scorned upon - and that gender was - Mers . They looked like man and their figure resembled that of a man too but they were a bit shorter and delicate , they also had a cinnabar mole in the centre of their forehead that resembled a blooming red lotus . They had everything that a man might have but they didn't have the ability to make a woman pregnant , instead their body developed in such a way that they were the ones who got pregnant no matter whom they married whether man or woman .
Just like a woman they had an opening that could give birth but compared to women they hardly ever survived the labour and died - but their population was too much to control as girls and boys were rarely born - so no one cared if one mer died , they would simply go ahead and marry a different one if their mer died in childbirth - which was exactly what the original Yu Dong was aiming for , she had gotten bored of this young man and was aiming for bringing another mer in her family specifically the mer that was named as the number one prostitute of the tavern .
The previous Yu Dong didn't care about her husband or child in-fact she was looking forward to hearing the death of her husband and the unborn child so that she could happily marry the mer she liked .
Yu Dong rubbed her face and sighed , God , if you were aiming for my reincarnation couldn't you have at least transmigrated me in a body of a decent human ? What was with this shitty transmigration ?
No wonder her husbands looked like they were faced with a monster when they saw her , if she was in their place she would have looked at her like that too !
God , she refused to take this body - who knows where it has been and how many STD's was it carrying - a refund , a refund , she wanted a refund ! She didn't spend her entire life serving and protecting others only to be reincarnated as a douche bag shithole of a person !

Dong Dong , I know that you are upset with your husbands because they didn't bring enough dowry with them but you shouldn't abandon them either , what you have done is much worse " The woman whom Su Wan recalled as Wang Shi still going on and on and on , telling her how she should be a better wife and take better responsibility of her husbands now that she was going to be a mother . Yu Dong felt wronged , she clearly wasn't the one who married three man - no mers , she also didn't have sex with them , then why was she the one to pick the responsibility of raising a child ? What was this situation - someone else had fun and now she was supposed to pay the bill ? And the bill was something she had to continue paying for years and years.
How unfair ! She didn't get the chance to have the humpty dumpty ride yet she had to pick up the slack ! And can this woman stop looking at her like she was some serious scum bag ? It was hurting her heart , thank you very much !
" You have to do better Dong Dong , now that you are a mother you can no longer go frolicking at the brothel - if you do what will your child learn from you ?" Wang shi earnestly advised Yu Dong , she was Yu Dong 's mother's best friend and the two have grown together ever since they were in their nappies - Wang Shi took Yu Dong as her own child but Yu Dong took her constant nagging as an annoyance and often got angry at her . Wang Shi knew that Yu Dong might get angry but she really wished to see her best friend's daughter living a better life than a drunk alcoholic .
" I understand "
" Don't say that I'm nagging - wait what did you say ?" Wang Shi was stunned no dumbstruck , she had been trying to make Yu Dong understand for years but the latter just never listened to her and now that she said those two words that Wang Shi wanted to hear the most , Wang Shi could not believe her ears .
Yu Dong smiled at the stunned expression of Wang Shi and smiled , seriously this Yu Dong was so lucky she lived in a world with such a peaceful environment and had so many people who genuinely cared for her yet she let them all down even in her death -" I said I understand - don't worry , I - I will take better care of my husbands ". Though Yu Dong had no experience in raising a child and taking care of a lover but she would at least do a better job than the previous Yu Dong wouldn't she ?
" Its good that you finally understand " Wang shi finally heaved a sigh of relief and then handed Yu Dong the cloth bag she was carrying on her back " here - in this there are some eggs , you can cook it for your little mer , though mers should be given the soup of old hen or something to retain their strength during child birth but in the current condition I can't afford an old hen "
" You don't have to uncle Fu will be angry " everyone in the village knew that Wang shi married her childhood sweetheart , Fu Wei was nice but he was rather fierce , together the two had two mers and a daughter , and Fu Wei didn't like it when Wang shi subsidised Yu Dong .
" Oh dear , did you hit your head or something ? I never thought I will ever hear such words from your mouth ". Joked Wang shi in the past Yu Dong not only took things from her but also said that it was too less , when had Yu Dong this spoiled brat ever shown any concern for her ?
Yu Dong didn't say anything and smiled , how was she supposed to tell Wang shi that the Yu Dong she cared and adored was long dead ?
When Yu Dong didn't reply and took the eggs , Wang shi pushed the eggs even more firmly in her hands "Your mer is giving birth this is not the time to stand on ceremony , you clearly have no money left if you were in so much debt that the brothel people were using you to test their happy powder " Remembering the seven taels she had to pay to get Yu Dong out Wang shi felt bitter , tonight she would really be kicked out by little Fu , those taels were supposed to be their daughter's admission fees yet she gave it all up to help Yu Dong get out of that fire pit .
Yu Dong also knew that Wang shi had paid her debt , or more like the previous Yu Dong's debt but now she was here and she needed to pay it back " Aunty Wang don't worry , I will pay back the money before Little Cai starts school " Wang Cai was suppose to start school in two months , earning seven taels wasn't an easy feat but Yu Dong didn't like being under anyone's debt .
Wang shi thought that Yu Dong was just trying to make her feel better and said nothing , she once again advised Yu Dong and left .
Yu Dong looked at the cloth back and sighed , it wasn't even an hour in this world and she already had a debt on her head . Then she looked down at her cloth that still smelled of rogue and something strange most probably the happy powder and shuddered - she could take on a zombie but drugs that was a big no , no for her .
She took the hot water that Wang shi boiled and took a quick bath , after changing into clean clothes , she went back to the kitchen and started cooking some egg drop soup for the pregnant mer with the name Chen Mi and egg custard for the other two , if her memory was right the gentle one was called Shen Li and the sharp features one was called Ye Liu .
The Yu house had nothing , in the end Yu Dong had to take out some vegetables , sesame oil , cornstarch , seasonings and green onions from her spiritual world , she also had to bring out some whole milk , nutmeg and sugar from - there was not even a single drop of oil in the kitchen it was squeaky clean except for some cabbages , Yu Dong had no idea how the little mer was going to give birth if he ate nothing but boiled cabbage in his pregnancy .
Once she was done preparing the egg custard and egg drop soup she placed the ingredients back into her spiritual world and placed everything on a tray- she specially covered the egg drop soup with a chipped bowl to keep it warm and headed to the room where the little mer was , she knocked on the door and instantly the groaning stop - someone muttered ' I will see her my skin is thick it won't hurt '
The words were spoken in a whisper but Yu Dong with her cultivation heard them loud and clear and sighed, really what a scum bag the original owner was she actually hit a pregnant mer as well ?
The door opened and Ye Liu stood at the door way with a false bravado expression " what ?" He asked like he wasn't scared at all but Yu Dong heard the slight tremor in his voice , she didn't want to terrify the mer anymore so she handed the tray in her hands to him and said "Aunt Wang gave me some eggs so I made egg drop soup for Chen Mi and egg custard for your two " she paused then said " its fine if you don't eat , you can throw it away but remember to give Chen Mi the soup or he won't have any energy left to push " then without saying another word she left , leaving Ye Liu to stand there dumbfounded .

Did you hear that ?" Ye Liu was shocked when Yu Dong brought them a meal , ever since they married Yu Dong it was them who were in charge of washing , cooking , cleaning - Yu Dong only opened her mouth to either complain or eat , when has she ever cooked for them ?
Shen Li was confused as well , he was looking at the egg custard and egg drop soup with a complex expression on his face not knowing what to do , was it safe to give to Chen Mi ? The egg drop soup looked quite delicious and appetising but what if there was something in it ?
Ye Liu was thinking in the same direction , he frowned and said " we should just throw it away -"
" Give it to me " said Chen Mi clutching his belly " I will eat it " , he didn't dare trust Yu Dong but she was right , he really had no energy left to push the child out and the labour had just started , even if the soup had poison in it , Chen Mi wanted to die after giving birth to his child .
" Don't be stupid Mi , what if you die ?" Said Ye Liu just like Chen Mi he didn't trust Yu Dong either .
" I need energy " smiled Chen Mi weakly " I don't have any strength left to push the child even if the soup is poisoned , I might be able to push the child out before I die - and even if I don't eat it , I will die any way " what Chen Mi didn't say was that he wanted to eat his wife cooking , experience how it feels to be taken care off before he died , with this little energy , he was sure that he will never be able to give birth safely .
"You are not going to die - Li what are you doing ?" Ye Liu shouted when he saw that Shen Li drank a mouthful of the egg drop soup , he wanted to make Li spit it out but Li already swallowed it " Li are you stupid ?"
" Its fine , see aren't I okay ?" Said Shen Li , actually he too knew that Chen Mi 's condition was looking feeble and he needed whatever strength he could , so eating this soup was important for Chen Mi to prepare himself to give birth "here you go Mi , but stop groaning and try to save your strength , this is just egg not a chicken soup , it won't give you much strength "
Chen Mi nodded and sipped on the soup as Shen Li helped him drink it . Ye Liu stood beside covering the egg custard with the big bowl - though he was hungry he won't eat without Shen Li .
( what a good brotherhood , I would hate to break it )
Back to Yu Dong , who was preparing herself to go to the mountains to hunt . Though she had a lot of modern stuff in her spiritual world , she didn't have any money in there - she still needed a lot of things to buy and she had no startup money for anything . In the end she decided that with her spiritual energy she will just do hunting like the original owner's mother and earn some money to buy a few things like goat of course for baby milk and some soft clothes for the child .
With a bow in hand and a knife , she left her house and hoisted two or three buckets to keep her hunt in it .
When the villagers saw that Yu Dong who usually stayed at her home and only knew how to drink and eat and never worked actually had hoisted up her bow and hunter knife - they were surprised .
Some of them couldn't help themselves and asked " Yu Dong are you going to the mountains for hunting ?"
" Yeah , if you want to buy meat you can come to my house later on " Yu Dong wasn't close to these villagers and felt a bit awkward , she didn't think that the villagers were trying to pull her leg and went on .
The villager who wanted to make fun of Yu Dong was shocked , if they wanted to buy meat they should come to her house ? What kind of joke was this ? A woman who never learned anything about hunting ability actually boasted ?
Hah !
Some villagers who didn't believe Yu Dong didn't leave their work but some did sneakily leave - they thought that it was no loss to bring some money with them and wait for Yu Dong if she couldn't hunt then they won't need to pay right ? Its not like they were trying to make an advance booking ?
Yu Dong didn't know what was going on in the head of the villagers , she just continued hiking the mountain and with her spiritual energy found to boars that were head locked in a fight - Yu Dong was thrilled ! She originally thought that she could only hunt a deer or antelope but now with these two boars she was set !
The two boars had no idea what was going to befall on them , they banged their heads and fought with each , they didn't even sense it when a sharp knife like root , popped out of the ground and - Shah ! Two roots pierced their bellies diagonally and the boars lost their lives just like that .
Yu Dong jumped down the tree and checked her hunt , she had already warned the other animals to stay away from this place with her spiritual energy but she was faced with another dilemma , the buckets she brought was much too small !
Even if she carried the other boar on her back and butchered the other , the bucket wasn't big enough to stuff it with the meat . Yu Dong was confused in the end she remembered that there was a small hut at the foot of the mountain maybe she could borrow a bucket from them ?
Since she had no other option and there was no buckets in her spiritual world , she could only borrow one . She left a trail of her spiritual energy in the area and left . When she reached the hut she knocked on it , a handsome man - no it was a mer , she could see his cinnabar mole in the centre of his forehead opened it " what is it ?" He asked his voice a bit husky and low
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.
" Can I borrow a bucket ? I just hunted two boars and the buckets I brought are two small to carry everything , I promise to return it back washed and cleaned " said Yu Dong , the handsome mer hesitated and just when he was going to answer her , an old woman hunched her way to the door .
" Ah Chi ? Who is at the door - oh its you Yu Dong " Granny Fang knew about Yu Dong 's fame but she still greeted her politely .
" Good day , Granny - I m sorry to disturb you but I want to borrow a bucket , I hunted two boars and they are two big to fit in buckets , even if I carry the other one I still need to butcher the other "
Granny Fang was surprised when she heard that Yu Dong hunted two boars , but she still understood Yu Dong's predicament " Ah Chi you go too , the boar will be too heavy for Yu Dong to carry "
" Granny I -"
" Granny Fang you don't need to "
Both Yu Dong and Fang Chi wanted to stop Granny Fang but she shook her head and handed Fang Chi the bucket " Ah Chi you should help out your fellow village members or else other will think you are too eccentric "
Fang Chi blushed , he was shy from his birth and had no friends because he was poor and had no parents - people thought he was an ill star because his father died giving birth to him and some years later his mother died as well .
In the end Fang Chi had no other choice but to take the bucket and go with Yu Dong .

you can look somewhere else " said Yu Dong as she took out the butchering knife and saw that Fang Chi had gone a pale blue shade " its fine to feel queasy but don't get sick , look somewhere else until I finish "
Fang Chi was relieved when Yu Dong asked him to look away , he was really scared at the sight of that sharp knife , he really didn't want to see any blood or anything gruesome , he immediately looked away while Yu Dong butchered the boar , she was immaculately clean and soon she finished chopping up the boar , she was also in a hurry because her little mer was in labour and could give birth anytime before that happened , she wanted to get him some chicken soup .
She quickly finished piling the chopped meat , blood and even the offals in the buckets and tied the other boar to her back and stood up , though it was heavy with her spiritual energy as a cheat trick Yu Dong didn't feel it was too heavy " you can look now "
She had cleaned the blood on the ground by sweeping away the soil and debris and buried the waste materials in the ground . Once she had cleaned enough , she thought that It was alright for Fang Chi to look .
Fang Chi turned his head and looked at Yu Dong who was carrying two heavy buckets of meat and bones while she left the lightest one that had blood and offals in the other - though Fang Chi didn't know what Yu Dong was going to do with the offals and blood , he still picked it up - feeling a bit complex .
Every one in the village said that Yu Dong was unreasonable and spoiled , she never did anything to help anyone , instead she kept troubling others no matter what who it was - but seeing her now , it didn't feel like she was someone who troubled people . If she did , why would she leave the lightest buckets for him to pick .
Yu Dong deliberately didn't put the buckets and boars in her spiritual world she wanted the villagers to see that she was a great hunter and they could buy meat from her - just as she expected the second the villagers saw that she was carrying a heavy , fat and chubby boar an uproar issued at once .
Those who didn't rush to bring money were shocked and upset but those who snuck to bring it were happy , they immediately rushed towards Yu Dong house . Seeing the villagers rushing in her house direction - Yu Dong shouted " whoever brings me an old hen , I will give them an ounce of extra pork belly !"
When the villagers heard that there will be extra meat they were excited but then they remembered that they didn't have an old hen among them a woman with swallow face and upturned nose shrieked in delight and rushed to bring the old hen from her home , a single hen for free pork belly ? She would happily exchange !
Ye Liu who was tending to Chen Mi heard the hustle and bustle and frowned why were the villagers making so much noise ? Even Shen Li who hardly ever got angry said "Liu go and see what happened , shoo the women away if they are here for money , tell them we haven nothing "
Shen Li thought that the women were here to ask for repayment , Ye Liu thought so as well but when he walked outside and saw a single file with women standing in it - he was shocked .
" Why are you standing here ?" What was with this queue just from how many people Yu Dong borrowed ?
" Ye Liu you don't know ? Yu Dong hunted two boars and is going to sell them soon - ah here she is ". Exclaimed the woman , Ye Liu followed her line of sight and was stunned because coming in his direction was Yu Dong with a boar in hand and two buckets that were filled with meat and bones in other .
Ye Liu was shocked to see this scene but some where in his shock he bristled at the young mer who was chatting with his wife and happily smiling - you brat what are you doing ?
Yu Dong saw the huge queue then she saw Ye Liu , she placed the buckets and the boar on the ground and took out some pork belly , some bones and lean meat from her bucket and handed it all to Ye Liu " keep it , And give some to Fang Chi he helped me carry so much stuff "
" No don't " blushing Fang Chi tried to refuse but Yu Dong shook her head and interrupted him " you better take it or I will have to shy away from asking help from you again " ( Ye Liu : why do you need his help ? Am I dead or what?)
When Yu Dong said it like this Fang Chi had no option but to follow Ye Liu in who chopped a piece of pork belly for him like he was chopping his enemy .
Back to Yu Dong who took out another bucket and butchered the other boar on the plank on which mother Yu butchered pigs .The villagers have never seen such a clean butchering and were shocked at how cleanly Yu Dong butchered the boar " its the old rule , first come first served - if the meat finishes before your turn there will be no fighting - You didn't give me any advance and I didn't promise anything except the extra meat for an old hen , got it ?"
The villagers nodded while the others who came late sighed , as they glanced at the long queue - today it might be impossible for them to get some meat .
Yu Dong had two boars and the prices she set was lower than the pork sold at town but still it was a reasonable price - the villagers all brought a lot , those who couldn't buy the expensive lean meat and pork belly brought the ones with bones while some who were well off brought the pork belly and lean meat .
Yu Dong had specifically kept a thick chunk of pork belly for the woman who brought the old hen and gave her the bones and pork belly as per her choice - the woman was very happy with the thick pork belly even though it was just an ounce it was still fat !
By the time Yu Dong finished selling the meat - she made enough money that was to say some one or two taels but it was only because ahe had the meat of two boars it was the freshest when sold .

" do you - do you have any meat left ? I - I just want to buy an ounce of anything " a soft and scared voice asked her and Yu Dong who was cleaning the pork tripe looked up , it was a little mer , even smaller than Chen Mi , he looked weak and thin and badly malnourished " an ounce ? Yes I have some bones left , do you want it ?"
" I - I do " said the little mer his eyes trained on the cleaned pork tripe
" do you want to buy this as well ?" Asked Yu Dong once she was done weighing an ounce of bones and saw the little mer looking at the tripe .
" No , I have no money -"
" You can keep it " looking at the thin boy , Yu Dong felt a bit sympathetic , she had seen a lot of malnourished kids in the apocalypse and she always tried to help them when she could " its going to waste any way - No one's buying it see ?"
She pointed at the tripe that was filled to brim of the buckets , the little mer hesitated " is - is it tasty ?"
" if you know how to cook " said Yu Dong " if you cook it properly it will taste like chicken, and its filling as well " and it was a great source of protein
" Alright , I will take some " said the little mer as he took the tripe Yu Dong handed him and hid it inside his shirt , then a little hesitating he looked at Yu Dong who went back to cleaning tripe " Thank you " he whispered and ran away , this was the first time anyone gave him something purely out of kindness , even though it was waste - it was the thought that counted .
Yu Dong who was cleaning the tripe had no idea that just a bowl of tripe got her and her kindness , actually got her - her first most fervent pursuer in the future .

Yu dong finished cleaning the pig tripe and waited for someone to buy the pig tripe but even after waiting for a while no one came thus she picked the bucket that was full of pig tripe and brought it back inside she was afraid that the tripe would go bad so she put it inside her spiritual world began cleaning the old hen.
Chen Mi was still in pain and the groaning and shouting inside the room once again resumed . Yu dong was anxious that something would go wrong so she instantly transferred some of her spiritual energy to Chen Mi to soothe his pain the groaning stopped after a while and Yu Dong sighted in relief even though she couldn't do much now she still hoped that Chen Mi and the child would remain safe.
Once Chen Mi calmed down, Yu Dong started on the chicken soup and shredded chicken porridge.
The old hen that the women brought was cleaned and boiled into soup Yu dong knew that Chen Mi could not eat solid chicken while he was in labour so she used the boiled chicken to make shredded chicken porridge for her other two husbands and she also instilled some of her spiritual energy to calm Chen Mi 's nerves in the chicken soup but she didn't dare to instill a lot in case it backfired and Chen Mi 's body couldnt withstand her spiritual energy .
Yu dong finished plating the chicken porridge and soup and brought it to Chen Mi's room just like before the groaning stopped when she knocked on the door but this time it was Shen Li who opened the door unliked Ye Liu he didn't glower at her instead he looked at her in a politely bewildered manner Yu dong hesistated and said " here I cooked some porridge for you and Ye Liu and some chicken soup for Chen Mi , here take it"She thrusted the tray in Shen Li 's hands and walked away , she could sense that she wasn't welcome in Chen Mi 's room right now and the Little mer was afraid of her as well , she was worried that if she went inside and the Little mer got terrified than even if she were to behead her head and have Chen Mi hang it on a plaque she would still not be able to bear the consequences .
Instead she took the dirty clothes from the backyard and went to the river where other mers were already washing and cleaning their houses laundry , when they saw Yu Dong with a laundry basket they were stunned , the village 's drunkard was here at the river washing her mers clothes ? Did the sun rise from the west today ?
Yu Dong could feel the mers gaze locked on her so she politely smiled at them but didn't speak at all , she knew that her reputation wasn't good and maybe lot of people especially mers who were really careful about their reputation like the girls in the an old era wouldn't like to talk to her .
She took out the dirty clothes from the basket and used the washing paddle to start washing the clothes , because this was her first time using the paddle she wasn't really good at it and nearly smashed her other hand under it which made quite a mer laugh at her , she smiled embarrassedly at them , then continued washing the clothes , thankfully she already added some washing powder in her basket before coming to the river or else others would have questioned her what she was using , she knew that the villagers knew about washing grass 's existence and wouldn't question the rising foam .
But even though no one knew how Yu Dong 's clothes had so much foam on them , all the mers were surprised , they could only use the washing grass to clean their wives clothes while their clothes were washed with only water and nothing else but Yu Dong was actually using washing grass to wash her mers clothes ! They were really shocked !
They couldn't even use the washing grass to wash their clothes on new year yet Yu Dong 's mers got the chance of wearing clean and washed clothes at such a normal day ! And if that wasn't enough to make them jealous , Yu Dong herself was washing her mers clothes ! Aiye , how unfair ! Even if they took three births , their wives wouldn't wash their clothes for them .
" Yu Dong ? What are you doing - Oh my you are washing your mers clothes ? Puchi "Wang shi too was punished to wash the clothes by her mer Fu Wei , the latter only took one glance at her guilty expression and then threw her out with the laundry basket declaring that if she didn't wash it all clean , there was no need to come back home . Though Wang shi pampered her mer a lot , it was still embarrassing for her to come to the river and wash clothes with other mers - but now that Yu Dong was here , she wouldn't feel embarrassed .
Yu Dong didn't know that Wang shi was actually embarrassed about washing clothes with the other mers , nor did she know that there was anything shameful about it either , the mers at home were washing the previous Yu Dong's laundry for years , so what if she washed theirs ?
"Yeah Chen Mi is still in labour and the child haven't come out , Shen Li and Ye Liu are with him , nobody was free at home and we don't have much clothes either - so I thought I should wash the laundry myself "
Wang shi looked at Yu Dong 's earnest expression that said' its what I should be doing ,' and felt a bit embarrassed , she was taking washing clothes as punishment but look at Yu Dong the latter was washing clothes like this was her job ! Aiye , looks like her title as the most pampering wife would soon be taken away by Yu Dong .
" Dong Dong which washing grass are you using? There is so much foam ! " exclaimed Wang shi when she too sat down and took out her family's laundry , Yu Dong heard her question and paused then she made a random excuse " I got it from the mountains , when I was trying to hunt , I walked in a little father and found it , if you want you can use the water in my bucket "
Wang shi was happy she knew that Yu Dong didn't bring the grass with her but she was still happy with using the foam water in Yu Dong 's bucket , after all her family finished their washing grass a few weeks ago and they were yet to find a new batch , this was why The women in the village called Wang shi stupid when she let her mer wash his clothes with washing grass , after all it was hard to find - but Wang shi didn't like the thought of letting her mer wear his clothes which still smelled of sweat and damp cloth . Her mer worked so hard so why couldn't he wash his clothes with washing grass and wear clean and fragrant clothes.
And now that she had Yu Dong with her changed perspective , she was certain that no one would say that she alone was crazy and stupid ! Now she has a partner !
Yu Dong : I'm not crazy !

Yu Dong finished clothing because she had three mers at home , her work finished together with Wang shi who came late and started washing her clothes at least fifteen minutes later . By the time Yu Dong piled her washed clothes and stood up her back was aching so much that she nearly cried , God this body was so pampered can't even crouch down for half an hour ! And her arms - Hell , they were aching like she had played with a metal hula hoop .
" Dong Dong , this washing grass is really fragrant , my clothes smells like roses ! " said Wang shi as the two of them returned back home , Yu Dong's lips twitched and she rolled her eyes inwardly ' of course it smells like roses, the washing powder that she used was rose scented after all !'
"Can you tell me where you find it maybe I can try my luck as well ?" Said Wang shi , she trult liked the scent of the foaming water she used today , if her clothes smelled this great everyday , her mer would be really happy ! He often complained that she smelled too because of she sweated too much .
" I can but its really far inside the forest , where wild animals lives . I have my mother's knowledge to hunt any animal that tries to attack me but what about you ? Will Uncle Fu let you go that farther in ?"
When Yu Dong said it like that Wang shi dropped the matter , she knew that her mer was really fierce but he cared about her as well , if she really brought up the matter of going inside the forest where wild animals lived together with Yu Dong , her mer will definitely pack his bags and take their kids away screaming and sobbing how he will find a new mother for his kids as he couldn't dare to let her kids become motherless so early .
" Alright then see you later -"
"Wait " when Yu Dong reached her house she stopped Wang shi from leaving right away , instead she placed the laundry bucket inside the kitchen , ignored the shocked look of Ye Liu who was washing the dishes and chopped a piece of pork belly and bones , wrapped it all up and brought it back to Wang shi " here I have no eggs to return but take this pork belly and bones , today cook something delicious for your kids "
" No , no , how can I -"Wang shi knew that Yu Dong hunted a boar today but she deliberately didn't came today to buy some because she knew that Yu Dong might try to give it to her for free
" I'm not giving it to you for free - you have given me a lot of things and this is something that I should have done earlier " and when Wang Shi kept refusing she added " think about if you bring this pork belly , Uncle Fu might let you inside without scolding you anymore "
Wang shi hesitated , this sentence really stuck her nerve , she really hoped that she could make up with Fu Wei as soon as possible so she didn't refuse Yu Dong 's offer anymore and took the pork belly and bones from her .
Yu Dong bid Wang shi goodbye and went back inside where Ye Liu was looking at the basket of laundry with disbelief written on his face , Yu Dong had a sick suspicion that if he wasn't bothered about his reputation he would have taken a drum and announced it to the world that she washed the cloth .
" You washed it ?" He asked even though the washed clothes were placed right in front of him , he still couldn't believe it " you really washed it ?"
"Who else do you think washed it ?" Asked Yu Dong as she warmed the chicken soup on the stove once again" here take some more for Chen Mi " then she paused and asked "
Is he okay?"
Ye Liu didn't respond instead he took the bowl from her and said with doubt and suspicion clear in his voice "What are you trying to do ? Why are you acting all nice to us ?what do you want , I'm telling you if you sell the child -"
"I won't " said Yu Dong she had no idea how to deal with her husbands nor the child and she had no patience to explain her transmigration either , even if she did , will they even believe her ? But still she had no idea how to explain herself either "I don't know how to make you trust me , but I assure you I won't sell the child nor you three either , instead from now on I will try to take better care of you three and the child "
This time Ye Liu was even shocked , he didn't think that Yu Dong would say something like this and wasn't sure whether or not he should trust her , after all once bitten twice shy and he and the other two had been bitten a lot of time by this mad dog Yu Dong " I won't trust you not yet but if you are serious about treating us well , I will see whether or not I can trust you "
" Alright I won't ask anymore of you " said Yu Dong , except for treating the three mers well she had no other idea how to gain their trust , the previous Yu Dong had hurt them all so badly that they will never dare to trust her , not without her showing sincere care towards them " I promise that I won't sell the child you can relax alright "
Yu Dong thought the two of them were together with Chen Mi because they were worried about him and wanted to aid with his labour but turns out that Ye Liu was actually keeping guard to protect the child from Yu Dong . In case she snatched the child from the gentle Shen Li and the weak Chen Mi .
Yu Dong , oh Yu Dong can you resurrect once ? I promise I just want to talk ! ( with her hands of course )

Yu dong didn't say anything and Yu Liu didn't know what to say either he took the chicken soup and went back inside Chen Mi's room while Yu Dong went to her backyard and checked the soil condition of her vegetable patch just like everything in the Yu household this patch was in poor condition as well.
The mers might have tried to take care of it but they had no idea how to take care of a farming patch they have been used to enbroidering ,cooking and helping in the field but taking care of an inferior land from the scratch was something they didn't know at all there was no fertilisers added to the field and it was cracking even when it was brimming with water the mers have obviously tried to save it by adding extra water since they couldn't really afford fertilisers but an inferior piece of land needed a lot of fertilisers to become suitable for farming with just water there was no chance to save it .
Yu dong sighed and crouched down, she placed her palm against the soil patch and frowned , the previous Yu Dong was raised like a spoiled princess by her mother and father as she was their only daughter and maybe because she was the eldest granddaughter her grandparents loved her to core as well but that changed when her auntie 's mer gave birth to a son .
She shook her head , it didn't matter to her what history the previous Yu Dong had , what mattered to her was how she took the challenges in her life , yes she lost her parents , yes she was kicked out of the Yu family together with her mers but that didn't justified her alcoholism and lack of awareness towards her responsibilities .
Yu Dong pressed her palms against the soil and let her spiritual energy heal the damage done to the vegetable patch for so many years . She had no confidence in any other job except being a little farmer girl , she knew nothing about cooking and her dishes were close to mediocre not worth opening a restaurant , her best dishes were roasting a whole lamb and dishes that had sea food in it , where the hell she was going to get sea food in this village ? And even if she did where will she get the money to start a restaurant ?
She was no good in embroidery , had no idea about fashion as she was a tom boyish type of woman in her past life with hair shortened to her shoulder and no makeup sense . Her ready to go look comprised of sun screen and lip balm .
But farming , she was confident at with her spiritual energy she was certain that no matter what the plant was she will be able to grow it and no matter how inferior the land was she could turn it fertile .
Yu Dong continued channelling her energy in the ground , so that it shimmered with greenish hue and once she was certain that the soil was good enough she picked herself up and cleaned her hands wiping away the dirt .
She was just thinking about plowing the land when a loud bang resonated from the kitchen and Ye Liu 's shouting could be heard , Yu Dong was stunned she couldn't understand what made Ye Liu shout like that but maybe the baby was coming - The BABY WAS COMING , Yu Dong who had no idea about baby or labour rushed in but she was bound to be disappointed because there was no baby in incoming .
Ye Liu glared at the woman in front of him , while he was in the labour room he heard someone knock , he thought that someone came to buy pig tripe or blood and opened the door but the second he opened it , a woman brushed past him and started searching the utensils without asking his permission - Ye Liu hasn't seen this woman for at least six months and yet she was as shameless as ever actually rushing in to snatch the meat from their house after renouncing their family? Shameless!
" What do you think you are doing ? We are no longer family ! How dare you barge in here and snatch things from us ?" Demanded Ye Liu furiously , he was afraid that if the meat was stolen by this woman today , Yu Dong might never bring any hunt back home , she might even get angry at them - and there was also Chen Mi he needed all the nutrition he could get after giving birth how dare this shameless woman who threw them out try to take it away .
Yu Tong who was stopped by a mer immediately turned angry , she stopped her search and glared at Ye Liu " How dare a little mer like you dared to talk like this with his cousin in law ? Just six months and have you forgotten already that I'm your cousin in law ? So what if I want to take the meat ? Its my cousin who hunted it not you !" That's right this was Yu Tong , Yu Dong 's cousin sister . Just like Yu Dong she was pampered since birth , and she never placed mers in her eyes , so when she was stopped by Ye Liu she couldn't withstand it and lashed out - however even after lashing out her temper didn't ease so she picked up a cutlery bowl and threw at Ye Liu , thankfully , Ye Liu had fast reflexes and dodged .
But that only made Yu Tong even more angry , she puffed up her chest and picked up another bowl to throw at Ye Liu " You shameless hussy , you actually dared to dodge ? Have you forgotten that as mer you need to bow your head down to your wife and in laws ? How dare you talk back , how dare you act such towards me , let me teach you a good lesson !" With that she raised her hand to throw the bowl again at Ye Liu who closed his eyes and gritted his teeth , he knew this time he won't be able to protect himself .

However , just as Yu Tong was about to throw the bowl , someone gripped her wrist , angry and enraged Yu Tong turned her head and started cursing " who the fuck dares to - oh its you cousin " though Yu Tong was caught she wasn't afraid of Yu Dong this cousin of hers , Yu Dong always wanted to ride on her brother Yu Cheng 's coattail so Yu Tong knew that Yu Dong wouldn't get angry at her at all but this time she was wrong because her cousin Yu Dong was gone and replaced by the modern Yu Dong who never relied on anyone but herself.
" He can't talk to you like that but I can right ? " harshly wrenching out the bowl out of Yu Tong 's hand Yu Dong walked over to Ye Liu and examined him with her spiritual energy , once she was certain that apart from being extremely terrified , he was alright , Yu Dong sighed in relief , she could see that the little mer was fine but scared so she patted his head and said " its alright I'm here now "
This action of hers shocked both Yu Tong and Ye Liu , however Yu Ding didn't care about their shock instead she looked at Yu Tong in annoyance and asked " what are you doing here ?" As far as she remembers , The host and the Yu family renounced each other because her uncle and her cousins were worried that Yu Dong will add up as an additional baggage to them after the host's mother passed away . If she was right , Yu Tong was quite supportive of her father's decision back then .
" Cousin what do you mean why I am here ?" Yu Tong was a smart woman she could feel that something was different about Yu Dong whether it was her aura or maybe it was her first time seeing Yu Dong who wasn't drunk out of her mind " I'm your cousin , can't I come to see you ?"
" See me ? Why is it that you never came to see me when I needed you the most but now that I don't need you , you come rushing here ?" Said Yu Dong placing her butchering knife on the kitchen stand " speak what you want , don't try to muddle things up with me . I know you are here because you want something or else you wouldn't have come to see me , a cousin whom you have renounced "
Yu Tong blushed , she was really starting to miss the drunken Yu Dong , if she was still drunk as always , Yu Tong was certain that she might have took the meat and got away after hitting Ye Liu as well but now she has to suffer in silence with no chance to let out her anger and also be embarrassed by her cousin - however she really wanted to eat some meat , her brother's studies cost a lot and they hardly ever get the chance to eat meat especially ever since Yu Cheng started school at town " Cousin you know how studious Brother Cheng is , my father wants to cook something good for him , can you please give me half a kg of pork belly and hock ?"
Ye Liu 's brows jumped this was the best past of a boar , and half a kg for free , why don't you go ahead and just rob us !
However before he could say anything , Yu Dong nodded " alright "
Yu Tong felt smug while Ye Liu was bursting with exasperation he knew it for the sake of being close to Yu Cheng , Yu Dong will agree to whatever conditions Yu Tong put , Yu Tong thought so too , her smirk was full of smugness but before she could relish her victory , Yu Dong burst her bubble rather cruelly " That will be nine hundred cents , pay up "
Hearing Yu Dong mention the price , Yu Tong was stunned , pay ? What pay ? "Cousin what do you mean we are family-"
" we are no longer a family , if you are confused you can go and ask your father to bring out the renouncement letter he so desperately fought for just a day after my parents were buried and if I really did have any obligations left for you and your family , I fulfilled it when I left the house that my mother built with her own earning - don't try to pull that family card on me . From that day onwards we have no relationship , you want pork I will give you but you gotta pay "
Yu Tong spluttered " but nine hundred cents is too much "
Yu Dong snorted and picked up her knife slamming it on the kitchen counter tip first so it ended up embedding in it " Then you go ahead and buy it in the town lets see how much they sell you half a kg pork belly and hock for ? Why are you here ?"
Yu Tong blushed even more , pork belly and hock was just as pricy as lean meat - if she were to buy it in the town she might have to fork out at least one tael and five hundred cents .
" Cousin are you really not going to share some with us ? My brother is really carving some pork meat "however Yu Tong didn't want to give up , her mother's salary for a month was two tael and most of it was spent on Yu Cheng 's study the rest of the expenses were taken care of from the income that came from the fields .
" I am really not going to share anything with your family ever again " said Yu Dong with so much conviction that both Ye Liu and Yu Tong were shocked " I have a child and three mers to take care of , if I give up half a kg of pork belly that amounts to nine hundred cents , how will I afford their expenses , will you help me raise them ?" Asked Yu Dong raising her eyebrow .
Yu Tong who was embarrassed again and again couldn't take anymore , no matter how thick her skin was she was still just eighteen " fine then don't come asking for my brother's help when he becomes an official "
If this was the old Yu Dong she would have gotten anxious but not her , she calmly smiled and said "Of course I won't because I know your family will rather throw away your help in a pit then give it to me , just like your mother who was turned out as nothing but a white eyed wolf , my mother wanted to send me to the academy but your mother took that opportunity at that time she promised that she will take care of me - look how she took care of me , your care and help is just so precious that I don't dare to even think about it much less take it "
Yu Tong was rendered speechless despite being so furious , what Yu Dong said was right , she had no idea how to refute , in the end she could only grit her teeth and walk away but how could Yu Dong let her get away just like that ? She swiped her knife in front of Yu Tong so that it rested right in front of her throat "where do you think you are going ? What about the bowl that you broke ?"
Yu Tong was scared shitless when Yu Dong dared to swipe her knife at her , but she still spoke with false bravado " what about it ? Are you gonna make me pay ?"
" No , I won't but you might not know " smiling grimly Yu Dong looked at Yu Tong eerily " Karma bites everyone's ass who does wrong "
The people in the world and time period were really superstitious when Yu Dong said it like this , Yu Tong was really scared , she didn't dare linger at Yu Dong's house and ran away .
Once she was gone Yu Dong turned to Ye Liu and fiercely glared at him , the little mer immediately dropped his fake bravado and looked down " do you have any idea , what would have happened if I didn't come on time ? Instead of fighting with her you should have come to me ? Why didn't you ?"
Ye Liu didn't answer , how could he rely on Yu Dong who bullied him just as badly as Yu Tong ? Yu Dong knew how much her mers feared her but still she thought that instead of trying to do everything they might at least try to rely on her .
" You -" Whatever Yu Dong wanted to say was interrupted because from Chen Mi 's room , Shen Li shouted " Ye Liu , bring warm water and clean clothes , The baby is coming ! "

Yu Dong was shocked but Ye Liu who was been prepared for this every since last night immediately jumped up and rushed to boil the water for Chen Mi the growing and shouts could no longer be suppressed Chen Mi as he felt twice as much pain than the women who gave birth to a child .
He shouted and screamed so loud that the entire neighbourhood came to know that Chen Mi was giving birth Shen Li and Ye Liu had assisted in the child birth process of other mers so they knew what to do but Yu Dong who has done nothing else but fight with zombie ever since she grew up had no
idea what to do ,she could only stand outside and pace in front of the door she wanted to go inside with Ye Liu but the latter told her that as the master of the house she can not enter the labour room as it might bring bad luck to her Yu dong didn't believe in such superstition but Ye Liu wasn't convinced and closed the door on her face forbidding her from comeing inside so Yu Dong could only pace in the corridor sending her spiritual energy to Chen Mi every once in a while.
Yu Dong could only do this much and wait anxiously out side yu dong was anxious but so were Shen Li and Ye Liu they have helped in child birth of a lot of mers but Chen Mi was like their little brother seeing him in pain Shen Li and Ye Liu were as anxious as ants on hot pan
" bring some hot water and keep wiping his head "said Shen Li as he told Chen Mi when to push and when to stop " don't give up now Chen Mi didn't you say - you want to see your son grow up ?" Shen Li could feel that Chen Mi was tired even though Yu Dong brought a lot of good things for him today it didn't change the fact that Chen Mi was eating nothing but boiled cabbage soup from the past few months .
A single day of good food won't change his condition hearing Shen Li encouraging Chen Mi to keep pushing Ye Liu was also scared he could see how pale Chen Mi has gone , Ye Liu wanted to help but he had no idea how to help . Chen Mi on the other hand was panting as he felt his body being teared in half , he wished he was strong enough to push the child out of him but he was just too weak !
Chen Mi felt frustrated , there were so many mers who lived a life worse than him yet they successfully gave birth why is it , that he alone couldn't push the child ? Why was he so weak ?
" Chen Mi push !" Said Shen Li as he pushed his belly trying to aid in Chen Mi 's labour , Chen Mi heard him and he groaned , pushing with all his might - he could feel his consciousness drifting he knew he was going to die , he knew this was it . He was so scared to die but he couldn't do anything now could he ?
He didn't want to give up , he wanted to keep pushing but his body was losing its consciousness , and just when Chen Mi thought that this was it - a warm yet subtle current spread all over his body , he could feel that his body was regaining its energy and he once again started pushing .
" That's the spirit , keep on pushing Mi " Ye Liu shouted as he wiped Chen Mi 's forehead , the latter gasped but pushed on , the warm currents travelling all over his body and calming his nerves , he was no longer in pain . He knew he could push it , he knew it he could feel it - if this felt like dying then it wasn't so bad - after a great heart wrenching scream , Chen Mi flopped down while Shen Li cradled the little baby in his arms .
He smiled at the little ball of sunshine that was crying loudly and took the clean warm cloth from Ye Liu to wipe the child - but just as he finished cleaning the blood off the young baby boy , he paused . His complexion paled , he looked at the child that was crying his lungs out and felt a terror like no other rise in his heart .
Ye Liu saw Shen Li's expression and hurried over to look at the child and to his horror - a bright red crimson lotus was blooming at the centre of the child's forehead - the baby boy turned out to be a mer !
Yu Dong who heard the cry of the baby , couldn't wait any longer - she rushed inside ignoring the fishy smell of blood and looked at Shen Li and Ye Liu who were looking at the child with fear , they didn't look happy or upset , instead scared ? Yu Dong felt a chill rising in her heart " what ! What happened to the baby ?" Was her spiritual energy too much ? Was the child malnourished ? Was it missing something ? She couldn't help but ask from the two .
Chen Mi too was looking at Shen Li 's disappointed and terrified face and he flopped back on the bed - he was done for , he knew how much Yu Dong was anticipating the birth of a son but he actually gave birth to a mer . Chen Mi couldn't help but sob not because he was afraid of Yu Dong 's anger that will be directed at him but the poor life his child will live from now on .
Not only will he not get the love of his mother , he will be scorned every where he goes ! How pitiful ! How unlucky ! If only his child was a son !
Yu Dong was now totally spooked , Chen Mi was crying and Shen Li and Ye Liu looked so terrified that they weren't even saying anything , if Yu Dong wasn't afraid to hurt the child she would have snatched it in her arms " what's wrong ! Will anyone say something ?"
Shen Li hesitated , he knew that there was no hiding the fact , they could hide it tonight but what about tomorrow ? So he gritted his teeth and bit the bullet " the child is a mer "
