Chapter 11 Amazing Salamander
Chapter 11 Amazing Salamander
The next morning.
Xia Bing got up early and followed the map to collect treasure chests outside the city.
Zhao Xin left the city late last night, which made him somewhat uneasy.
But that's irrelevant to him. What he needs to do now is to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
After leaving Handan, we headed southeast.
About half an hour later, Xia Bing arrived at the edge of a grove of trees.
The map shows a silver treasure chest deep in the forest.
Just as he was about to enter the woods, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting in the distance.
Xia Bing paused, tilting her head to listen.
The sounds of clashing weapons, footsteps, and a woman's low growl.
He hesitated for a moment, then flashed away in the direction from which the sound came.
Passing through a thicket of bushes, Xia Bing saw an open space ahead.
Three men in black are attacking a pregnant woman.
The pregnant woman was wearing a gray cloak, and her belly was slightly protruding, indicating that she was seven or eight months pregnant.
(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
But she was agile and skillful, wielding her long sword as she fought off the three men in black.
However, she was pregnant after all, and her movements gradually became slow, and she had already sustained injuries.
"Jing Ni, you can't escape."
The leader of the men in black said coldly, "Come back with us obediently, and we might spare your life."
Jing Ni!
Xia Bing's pupils contracted slightly.
A top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization, and one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.
It really was her!
Jingni didn't speak, but just tightly protected her abdomen, her eyes filled with determination.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a penalty shot."
The man in black sneered, "Then don't blame us!"
With a wave of his hand, three men in black attacked simultaneously, their three longswords aimed directly at Jing Ni's vital points.
Jing Ni gritted her teeth and blocked, but her body was already unsteady.
Three longswords were about to pierce her body—
A figure emerged from the woods.
Xia Bing appeared in front of Jing Ni and waved her right hand.
"Bang!"
All three longswords broke at the same time.
The three men in black were forced back several feet, their hands split open and bleeding profusely.
Xia Bing glanced at Jing Ni.
Wearing a grey cloak, seven or eight months pregnant, being hunted by the Luo Wang organization...
He already guessed who the woman was.
Jing Ni.
A top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization, and one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue.
Xia Bing never expected that he would meet her in the State of Zhao.
Moreover, she is pregnant now, which means Tian Yan will be born soon.
"Who are you?"
Jingni's voice was cold and weak.
Xia Bing didn't answer, but looked at her abdomen.
"You're pregnant."
"What's it to you?"
Jing Ni took a step back, her sword pointing directly at Xia Bing. "You saved me, what do you want?"
Xia Bing looked at her.
Even though this woman was seriously injured and pregnant, she remained vigilant and menacing.
As expected of Luo Wang's top-tier assassin.
"I don't want anything," Xia Bing said. "I was just passing by and couldn't stand seeing three people bullying a pregnant woman."
Jing Ni was stunned for a moment.
She looked into Xia Bing's eyes, which were clear and calm, without a trace of greed or scheming.
"etc!"
Jing Ni suddenly spoke, about to say something, when her expression suddenly changed.
"you……"
Before she could finish speaking, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
Xia Bing's pupils contracted, and he flashed forward, catching her before she fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Jingni's eyes were tightly closed, her face was as pale as paper, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Xia Bing looked down and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Beneath her, a pool of murky liquid was slowly flowing out, mixed with bright red blood.
My water broke!
She's in labor!
Xia Bing frowned.
Is Tian Yan about to be born?
He knew that Jingni had a daughter named Tianyan, who later became the new Jingni.
But unexpectedly, he would witness Tian Yan's birth.
"Damn it."
Xia Bing cursed under his breath, picked up Jing Ni, and ran towards Handan City.
……
On the way, Jingni slowly woke up.
She felt herself being held and instinctively tried to struggle.
"Don't move," Xia Bing's voice came. "Your water has broken; if you move again, you'll lose the baby."
Jingni froze, then stopped struggling.
She looked down at herself, her face growing even paler.
"Am I...am I going into labor?"
"Almost there." Xia Bing kept walking. "Bear with it, we'll be in the city soon."
Jing Ni gritted her teeth, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.
Waves of abdominal pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
She clung tightly to Xia Bing's clothes, trying her best not to faint.
As they approached the city gate, Xia Bing suddenly saw a troop of cavalry galloping out of the city in the distance.
He paused, immediately changed direction, and circled around to the other side of the city wall.
Those people were clearly looking for someone, and he didn't want to cause trouble at this crucial moment.
Holding Jingni, he scaled the city wall from a secluded corner and headed straight for the nearest clinic.
……
"Doctor! Someone is going into labor!"
The doctor at the clinic rushed out to greet her, but his expression changed when he saw Jing Ni's appearance.
"Quick! Carry him inside!"
Xia Bing placed Jing Ni on the bed, and the doctor immediately began the examination.
"The amniotic sac has broken, and the cervix is already dilated to three centimeters... We need to deliver the baby immediately!"
Just as Xia Bing was about to leave, the doctor suddenly said, "Young master, we need your help."
"Me?" Xia Bing frowned. "I don't know how to deliver babies."
"We're short-handed," the doctor said. "The pregnant woman is bleeding too much; someone needs to help stop the bleeding. You're strong, so help me press her acupoints."
Xia Bing hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
……
Inside the delivery room.
Jingni lay on the bed, her face pale and her forehead covered in cold sweat.
She gripped the sheets tightly, gritting her teeth and enduring the excruciating pain.
"Push!" the doctor shouted, "We can see the head!"
Jingni took a deep breath and used all her strength.
"ah--!"
A baby's cry echoed through the delivery room.
"It's born! It's born!"
The doctor picked up the baby and quickly cleaned him/her.
Xia Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Yan was born.
The woman who later became the top-tier assassin of the Luo Wang organization, the new Jing Ni, was just a newborn baby at this moment.
"It's a girl, both mother and daughter are safe." The doctor wrapped the baby up and handed her to Jingni.
Jingni weakly took the baby, and looking at the tiny face, her eyes welled up with tears.
She didn't speak, but just looked quietly at the child in her arms, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
There was relief, heartache, and a touch of confusion.
Xia Bing stood aside, quietly watching this scene.
He knew the story of Jing Ni—an assassin trained by Luo Wang who later fell in love with a man, became pregnant with his child, and then defected from Luo Wang.
The man appeared to be from the state of Wei, and was later killed by the Luo Wang organization.
Jingni has been on the run to protect her daughter.
Later, Tian Yan grew up, joined the Luo Wang organization, and became the new Jing Ni.
Xia Bing shook her head.
He didn't want to change these plot points.
But now that Jingni has been saved, the course of history has already been changed.
After a long while, Jingni raised her head and looked at Xia Bing.
"Thanks……"
Xia Bing remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
"have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned and left the delivery room.
……
late at night.
In a side room in the backyard of the clinic, Jingni lay on the bed.
Her right hand remained gripping the dagger, even in her sleep.
The blade gleamed coldly in the moonlight.
This is an assassin's instinct—never let yourself be completely unprepared.
Tian Yan slept beside her, her small body curled up, breathing evenly.
Jingni's eyelids twitched, and the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes.
The dagger in his right hand was already at his side, and his gaze swept towards the doorway like lightning.
—This was her first reaction upon waking: to check for an escape route.
Only after confirming there was no danger did she slowly put down the dagger.
Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating her tired face.
She looked down at her daughter beside her, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Is this time, is it really time to leave the Net?
……
Outside the clinic, Xia Bing stood at the entrance, gazing at the sky.
Saving Jingni means incurring the wrath of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven).
The Luo Wang is the most mysterious and powerful assassin organization in Qin's Moon, spreading across the seven kingdoms and wielding immense influence.
Getting caught in a trap can lead to serious trouble.
But Xia Bing didn't regret it.
He was never the kind of person who would stand by and watch someone die.
and……
Jing Ni is a master of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm.
If possible...
"Never mind, we'll talk about it later."
Xia Bing sighed softly.
The most important thing now is to improve our strength as quickly as possible to deal with the troubles that are about to come.
