Chapter 1294 – Defeating Huang Song, Unifying Dongqing (Thirty-Six)
“Sweet as honey?”
Jiang Pengji smirked slightly and, taking advantage of Wei Ci’s momentary surprise, hooked her right hand around the back of his neck and leaned in to place a kiss on his lips.
“Zixiao is truly sweet.”
She smacked her lips, savoring the moment, causing Wei Ci’s ears to redden and his cheeks to flush like a sunset.
Despite Wei Ci’s experiences from his past life, he remained inherently shy and reserved.
When it came to shamelessness, he was no match for Jiang Pengji!
This person before him was his nemesis; in both lives, she could make his forces collapse without lifting a finger.
“My lord—” Wei Ci gently steadied her, his tone soft, “it’s getting late; let’s head back and rest first.”
Jiang Pengji leaned closer, her warm breath brushing against his ear, igniting a flurry of emotions and causing his heart to falter.
“Zixiao, didn’t your last name used to be Liu?”
Wei Ci frowned in confusion and replied earnestly, “Of course not, my lord. Why do you ask?”
“I suspect your previous life’s name was Liu Xia Hui,” Jiang Pengji teased with a smile. “If you were an ordinary man, you wouldn’t be able to sit still at this moment.”
Could it be that her boyfriend strength was so over-the-top that they had swapped scripts? Shouldn’t she be the one to take action? Not that she hadn’t tried before, but Wei Ci’s attitude had been quite resistant. Moreover, she adhered to the Federation’s laws, so she couldn’t force him without permission.
Wei Ci smiled wryly, saying, “This is the military camp; are you suggesting we indulge in debauchery here?”
Jiang Pengji paused; that indeed wouldn’t do—
As a leader, she had to set an example and strictly follow military regulations, not violating a single one. Let alone indulge in pleasures.
She rolled her eyes and countered, “So it’s fine as long as we’re not in the military camp?”
Wei Ci sighed again, the candlelight flickering in the tent, casting warm orange light in his eyes, making them look deep and starry.
“Well, that isn’t right either; my lord isn’t in a suitable condition…” He paused, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto his face, “…to conceive.”
Jiang Pengji was stunned. She hadn’t expected Wei Ci to repeatedly refuse her for this reason; she thought it was simply his inherent shyness.
The two exchanged a glance, before Wei Ci, seemingly exhausted by the conversation, said, “With the world in chaos and the situation unstable, if my lord were to accidentally become pregnant, it would complicate matters and increase the risks. Pregnancy is fraught with dangers for women, and if one isn’t careful, one could fall into someone else’s trap…”
Wei Ci’s medical skills were quite good; he had spent a lot of effort studying female obstetrics in his past life and even learned how to assist in childbirth for safety’s sake.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust others; it was just that a woman’s journey from pregnancy to childbirth lasted ten months, which made her particularly susceptible to external harm.
Wei Ci couldn’t afford to take any risks.
Jiang Pengji awkwardly scratched her cheek with her finger; she hadn’t truly considered this issue, and let’s not even mention ancient contraceptive methods.
To relieve the tension, she jokingly remarked, “Zixiao has quite a lot of confidence in himself.”
Everyone knew that Wei Ci had developed a cold constitution due to his childhood experiences. Once “cold” was mentioned regarding a man, outsiders would subconsciously assume he wasn’t as fertile as normal men. Even if his health improved, his vitality wouldn’t be as abundant as others.
Even though Wei Ci was well-mannered, hearing his lord’s words almost made him falter.
“My lord, a remote possibility doesn’t mean it can’t happen; we shouldn’t gamble on this.”
Wei Ci had started taking better care of himself early on in this life, and his condition was much improved compared to his previous life.
In his past life, he had one son and one daughter; surely this life wouldn’t yield no results.
Besides, the two were now several years younger than in their previous lives, meaning their healthier, young bodies made it easier to conceive.
“Aren’t you skilled in the art of fertility?” Jiang Pengji said with a hint of grievance. “Put your skills to use!”
Wei Ci was left speechless for a moment, blushing as he struggled to form a response.
“Every medicine has its side effects; a woman’s body is different from a man’s, and even slight damage can be hard to recover from, not to mention when it involves offspring. If Ci takes medicine, it may work, but… that method isn’t foolproof. If accidental pregnancy occurs, the fetus may be predisposed to deficiencies…”
Jiang Pengji: “…”
So frustrating!!!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Jiang Pengji’s face turned as dark as if painted with ink, and Wei Ci hesitated for a moment before daring to extend his hand to comfort her back.
The more he did so, the angrier Jiang Pengji became, and in a fit of rage, she pushed him down and nibbled a few bites, leaving marks near his collarbone that oozed tiny droplets of blood.
Wei Ci gasped in pain, the sharp sensation overshadowing the desires within his body; he could only smile bitterly and pat her back gently.
Jiang Pengji was a ball of fire, and she couldn’t take a bite of the person right in front of her, forced to live like a monk.
With a wry smile, she said, “Perhaps this is self-inflicted suffering.”
Wei Ci didn’t dare to interject; instead, he silently embraced her to calm the burning flames of her heart.
His lord wasn’t comfortable, and truth be told, he was also finding it hard to endure.
After a bit, Jiang Pengji held onto Wei Ci, playfully teasing him, before quietly returning to her main tent. “I’m going to rest now; don’t disturb me unless it’s urgent.”
She warned the soldiers guarding the tent before diving into her sleeping quarters, reopening the system shop that hadn’t been accessed in years.
Flipping through the pages, her expression gradually darkened, and the pressure around her sank lower.
Ordinary genetically modified rice, clean tap water, iodized salt, non-iodized salt, medium fertility soil, dry firewood, soybean oil, vegetable oil, sauces, aged vinegar, pre-roasted green tea leaves, snake skin bags, nail clippers, regular bandages…
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
What kind of useless stuff is the system store selling?!
After angrily flipping through a few more pages, Jiang Pengji stormed over to the subsystem, causing the two subsystems to tremble in fear. “How can you call this a system mall? Don’t you have a sense of self-worth?! Not even a BYT present! You’re worse than a corner shop. Being this rubbish, you might as well just die; how can you be so shameless as a system?!”
All her fury was directed at the system, leaving the two subsystems in shock.
“Are you insane?!” System Two retorted angrily. “Who said a system mall must sell BYT?!”
What a ridiculous assumption!
They had been neglected for so many years; the poor little subsystems relied on the energy she occasionally fed them, barely getting by, and now they were being berated by this crazy woman!
“The bed isn’t your palace battle live-streaming system’s battlefield; shouldn’t that thing exist?!” Jiang Pengji scoffed. “With such a lack of dedication as a system, you still want to trick the host into working for you? You deserve to be imprisoned here, you worthless pieces of junk!”
The two subsystems suffered a critical hit.
Damn—
So what if she could tear apart a system? It was no honor to kill a soldier!
Jiang Pengji was seething with rage, mercilessly venting her wrath on the two subsystems. At first, they bravely fought back with insults, but eventually, they couldn’t hold out and ended up kneeling, calling her “Daddy.”
