Chapter 117: Chapter 117: You really look like a wolf trader...
Qian Qi’s idea was indeed a bit absurd.
Seeing that Qian Qi was constantly staring at a certain indescribable part of the mother wolf, the system: ...
[Hey, you wouldn’t happen to be thinking...]
Qian Qi mused, "Aside from a caesarean section, there’s only this one way left, right?"
When she helped her family’s vicious dog give birth, she just pulled them out directly.
System: Hey... please don’t be too ridiculous.
In the end, Qian Qi still opted for the easier caesarean section. She turned around, picked up the long blade from the ground, and pointed it at the Moon Silver Demon Wolf’s abdomen, reminding, "It’s going to hurt, bear with it, I don’t have anesthesia."
Seeing Qian Qi was seemingly about to attack it, the Moon Silver Demon Wolf became instantly alert. It endured the pain in its belly and struggled to stand up in a defensive posture, staring intently at Qian Qi and exhaling a chilly breath toward her.
It didn’t dare to attack Qian Qi, because it didn’t have much strength left. For the past half month, it hadn’t eaten much. Not to mention killing Qian Qi, even unleashing a full-power attack could break itself.
If it died, the children in its belly might also be suffocated to death.
"Don’t be nervous." Qian Qi slowly approached the Silver Wolf and jumped onto it, pinning it to the ground, wanting to perform the surgery forcibly.
However, the Silver Wolf became increasingly frantic, fearing Qian Qi might harm its young ones, so it had no choice but to extend its sharp claws toward Qian Qi’s head.
"Don’t move!" Qian Qi dodged the attack and pressed down on the Silver Wolf’s abdomen, wanting to cut open the mother wolf’s belly according to the position of the wolf pups, but the Silver Wolf’s restless limbs kept getting in her way. She was just a tiny bit, completely unable to hold down its four legs.
After struggling for a long time, Qian Qi’s temper flared up, and she simply put the Silver Wolf to sleep with physical anesthesia.
"I told you not to move, why didn’t you listen?!"
Qian Qi knocked the Silver Wolf’s head unconscious with a punch, finally able to cut open the belly of the Moon Silver Mother Wolf without any hindrance.
Bright red hot blood flowed from the long cut, trickling over the Moon Silver Wolf’s beautiful silver fur, like a sea of red plum blossoms flowing onto the silvery white snow, with a touch of poignant bloodiness amidst its beauty.
Qian Qi reached out with both hands, gently spreading the incision, and saw seven or eight little wolf pups inside. They had their eyes tightly shut and limbs flailing, their wet silver fur making them look both desolate and beautiful.
"Why do they have fur?" Qian Qi exclaimed in surprise. When she helped her family’s vicious dog give birth before, she remembered the newborn pups being pink and fleshy, with no fur at all?
Out of curiosity, Qian Qi quickly pulled out a few little wolf pups, and when she was getting the last one, she suddenly noticed something and looked at her palm.
Her wet hand was stained with several pieces of broken eggshell...
Qian Qi: ???
What the heck?
Why are there eggshells here?
Perplexed, Qian Qi pulled further and fetched a handful of white eggshells from the Moon Silver Wolf’s belly. Shocked, she turned around, and upon a closer look, realized these little wolf pups were all somewhat stained with bits of broken eggshells, just because they were similar in color that she hadn’t noticed before.
"What the hell..." Qian Qi was puzzled and really wanted to ask the system, but having lost a lot of blood, the Moon Silver Wolf needed immediate attention, so she could only sprinkle the hemostatic medicine on the wound first.
Once the wound healed, she finally had time to ask, "Tongzi, why are there eggshells in its belly?"
[Because it was born from an egg.]
Qian Qi: ???
Qian Qi was stunned, "Wolves are mammals, aren’t they!"
Wait, this is a magic beast, there’s no distinction between mammals and non-mammals, but...
She pointed towards those wolf pups, confused, "Wait a sec, if they were born from eggs, why aren’t they magic beast eggs?"
[Dear, that answer costs 300,000 yuan~]
Qian Qi: ???
Qian Qi patted her Light Brain that only had 3 yuan and 74 cents left, suddenly realizing that sometimes curiosity wasn’t necessary.
She sighed deeply, placing a few wet, eyes-closed little wolf pups onto the wide body of the Moon Silver Demon Wolf, then dragged the front limb of the Moon Silver Demon Wolf, moving step by step towards the small house on the plains.
...
When the Silver Wolf woke up, its head was throbbing.
Once it regained its senses, it immediately looked toward its belly. Discovering it was empty and flat, it let out a mournful howl.
"Awooo——"
It was too weak; it hadn’t protected its children!
Sadness welled up in the Moon Silver Mother Wolf, ignoring its own weakness, it struggled to find Qian Qi who stole or killed its young ones, wanting to die with her.
Yet who knew, just as it stood up, it weakened and fell back again, making a heavy sound on the wooden house, and the unfinished little wooden house shook slightly, as if there was an earthquake.
"Hmm? Awake already?" Outside, Qian Qi was feeding the wolf pups milk, carrying them quickly into the house, directly meeting the icy blue, murderous wolf eyes of the Moon Silver Mother Wolf.
"Grr woo——" The Moon Silver Mother Wolf seeing her, immediately let out a cautious low growl.
Qian Qi took a step back silently, "I’m warning you, all your kids are in my hands. If you dare collapse my house, hmm hmm... I can’t guarantee what I’ll do!"
System: [...]
What kind of rascal would say such a rascal thing...
Realizing she was a formidable foe capable of easily killing her children, the Moon Silver Mother Wolf cowered on the ground, not daring to move recklessly.
Its gaze landed on the cubs in Qian Qi’s arms, revealing a slight tenderness, but when looking back at Qian Qi, it was once again filled with caution and vigilance.
Qian Qi didn’t mind; as long as the Moon Silver Mother Wolf didn’t collapse her little wooden house, she was still willing to kindly spare its life.
Stuffing the little wolf pup in her arms back into the Moon Silver Mother Wolf’s embrace, she whistled a rogue’s whistle, and outside, seven lively little wolf pups came rushing in.
Compared to the slightly weaker wolf pup in the mother demon wolf’s embrace, the other seven were healthy and strong. Just born for half a day, they could already open their eyes and start chewing meat and drinking milk independently.
Qian Qi recalled and suspected the weak, undernourished wolf pup was egg-born because there weren’t many eggshells in the mother wolf’s belly. If pieced together, it would probably form just one egg.
She also wondered if perhaps the earlier born wolf pups were just better timed, having eaten their shells to gain such robustness, whereas the last one hadn’t developed enough to eat its shell.
But if the answer were so simple, the system wouldn’t have charged her 300,000.
Qian Qi turned and walked to a pickling jar, which contained the corpse of the three-headed Demon Electric Lion she picked up on her way back that day. It had been dismembered, leaving behind the most succulent, nutritious meat and organs.
The Moon Silver Mother Wolf had been in a coma for three days, during which she fed the wolf pups meat and supplemented the Moon Silver Demon Wolf with juice from magic plants and demon beast blood juice.
Of course, she was also curious about milking, ahem...
Qian Qi cleared her throat, placing several pieces of fresh demon beast meat on seven plates, clapping her hands towards the wolf pups.
At the call, the wolf pups immediately trotted over on their chubby short legs, snuggling against Qian Qi and then happily eating, seemingly having already regarded her as their mother.
"Little wolf pups are easier to tame..."
Qian Qi touched her chin, looking regretful, "It’s a pity they don’t understand contracts, otherwise I’d trick them all."
System: ...
Hey, you really seem like a wolf trafficker this way... hey...
