Why Would an Aircraft Carrier Be Dispatched to Escort His Fishing Boat?

179: Chapter 179 The Grain Collector, the Reincarnation of the Queen Mother”Husband, you are so good.”

”I called you, and you came over in less than half an hour.”

Xue Yao leaned against Jiang Chen’s shoulder with a look of happiness.

Jiang Chen stroked her head with his left hand and placed his right hand on her belly, feeling the movement of the baby. He smiled and said, ”Of course I had to arrive the moment the child was born.”

”By the way, are we still choosing the child’s name from Commander Jiang Qiuzhi, Jiang Haipeng, or Jiang Xingchen?”

Jiang Chen felt the movement in her belly.

Although the belly wasn’t very big, Jiang Chen always felt that there were two pairs of feet inside, up to no good.

Xue Yao looked up. ”Only three names?”

”Three is enough, we just need to choose two out of three.”

”How do you know there are only two? What if I give birth to septuplets? Three names won’t be enough!”

”Do you think you’re a mouse? Septuplets, really!”

Jiang Chen playfully flicked her nose, annoyed.

If it really were septuplets, that would be enough to form half an aircraft carrier strike group!

Xue Yao thought about it seriously.

”Septuplets all at once might be a bit of an exaggeration, but we can reproduce multiple times. With our constitutions, wouldn’t it be easy to assemble an aircraft carrier strike group?”

Assemble an aircraft carrier strike group?

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.

In fact, his kidneys even started to ache faintly.

”Honey, we need to save some milk powder for the country, let’s not have so many.”

Jiang Chen said, finding an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yao was relentless. ”What do you mean save milk powder? We need to respond to the country’s thirty-child policy.”

”What! Thirty-child policy? It’s clearly the three-child policy! You’re tampering with national policy! I’m reporting you for distortion!”

Jiang Chen exclaimed in shock.

Thirty children? Are you trying to found a nation?

Xue Yao clapped her hands. ”Deal! Then three children it is!”

”By the way, this pregnancy counts as the first one. There are two more to go.”

As she spoke, she pulled out a small notebook from somewhere and wrote a few lines on it.

Jiang Chen curiously leaned in to take a look and saw it was densely packed with records of which days Jiang Chen had ’provided grain’ and which days he hadn’t, accurate to the minute.

Looking at the rows of ’absences’ over the past month, Jiang Chen coughed dryly, pretended he hadn’t seen anything, and wanted to get up to wash his hands.

Xue Yao, however, reached out with a wicked hand and grabbed him. ”Hmm? Playing the blind monk? Since you’re here, why don’t you make up for your attendance!”

”Honey, that’s not a good idea. You’re pregnant, you should follow the doctor’s advice and rest.”

This time, Jiang Chen wasn’t nervous.

It was common knowledge that one shouldn’t engage in intercourse while pregnant.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yao rubbed her fingertips against Jiang Chen’s palm and smiled. ”What’s the big deal? Isn’t this... something that can be done with just hands?”

”...”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but praise, ”Honey, you really are a pro at collecting grain.”

In the distant right spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy lay a stretch of dark and silent universe.

There were no twinkling stars here, only a lonely, cold expanse of black space.

Yet, relying on the faint visible light refracted from distant stars, one could vaguely see that in the midst of this darkness, there was a massive and ancient arched gate.

This gate was tens of thousands of miles wide, standing silently in the void.

Surrounded by swirling white mist, it looked like a fairyland.

If anyone understood ancient divine scripts, they would certainly recognize the complex characters on the gate. Southern Heavenly Gate!

It was just that this Southern Heavenly Gate was like a ghost ship, drifting through space.

Dozens of miles behind this gate, a dragon boat drifted over.

This dragon boat was also extremely long, a full mile in length. Even though it was devoid of life at this moment, the exquisite dragon head at the front of the boat still showed how magnificent it must have been before it was activated.

Then, more and more ships drifted over.

There were merchant ships as towering as rolling mountains.

There were storied ships in the shape of buildings that spanned nebulae.

There were simple wooden rafts that blotted out the sky, covering an entire planet.

Ships of all kinds of strange shapes arrived one after another.

But at this moment, they were all like dead ships, following the Southern Heavenly Gate a hundred miles ahead, silently drifting through the void, with no known destination.

Suddenly! When passing by a certain planet, a stone-colored ship in the corner of the Southern Heavenly Gate, shaped like a mountain pond, released a powerful gravitational force and forcibly pulled this earth-yellow planet toward it.

The planet twisted! Storms raged!

But no matter how it struggled, within less than five minutes, it was devoured by that ship shaped like a pond.

Relying on the energy of this planet, the ship lit up with a faint, weak glow.

The characters ’Yaochi’ appeared faintly on it.

Yaochi. The birthplace of the Queen Mother of the West.

However, this Yaochi only shone for a short while before dimming again.

But before it completely faded, a beam of invisible light, invisible to the naked eye, departed from Yaochi. ”Transmission successful.”

After a line of complex characters flashed in Yaochi, it plunged back into darkness.

The same scene happened again when passing by other planets.

However! Every time, only one ship would devour a planet, light up, and then dim again...

Whoosh! The invisible light containing all the memories of the Queen Mother of the West was transmitted via quantum transmission back to the particles she had left behind on her home planet.

These particles were a bolt of lightning composed of electric current.

According to her plan, once her original body was damaged, she could transmit all her memories back to her home planet via quantum transmission. And that bolt of lightning was the medium to receive her.

However, she never expected that this bolt of lightning had already been absorbed by Xue Yao.

Therefore, when the invisible light was transmitted back, it instantly entered Xue Yao’s womb.

”Huh, where is this?”

The Queen Mother of the West opened her eyes, looked around, and realized that she seemed to be in amniotic fluid.

”Strange, didn’t I leave behind a bolt of lightning? I should have taken the form of lightning!” The Queen Mother of the West was puzzled.

Current particles could survive in the high atmosphere for millions of years, but a human could not. Therefore, she had left behind current particles.

Just then, she noticed there was another fetus beside her, competing with her for nutrients in the womb.

”Hmm? Why is there a little boy?” The Queen Mother of the West raised an eyebrow.

She reached out, wanting to pull off this fetus’s umbilical cord and let him go out first.

Unexpectedly, the other fetus slapped her.

The Queen Mother of the West was immediately knocked downward.

”Hiss!” ”It hurts! It hurts! Husband! I think I’m really going to give birth!”

In the middle of the night, in the infirmary, Jiang Chen was resting on the companion bed next to her when he suddenly heard Xue Yao’s loud cries.

He hurriedly turned on the lights and called over several female medics.

”Mr. Jiang, please step aside!” The female medics immediately began the delivery procedure.

Xue Yao, however, gripped Jiang Chen’s hand tightly, having long forgotten about the delivery, and just kept screaming.

”It’s too painful! It’s too painful! Once it’s born, I’m definitely going to spank this brat!”
