When the system offered her that she could get the [True Self] skill back, Dong Bai declined it . She had a hunch that the system A . I . was scheming something that could harm her and Tong .
Because of the refusal, the system did not give her back the skill, but she was kind enough to alter Dong Bai’s [Sealed] skill and allow her to accept a mission from the system in the future . However, the rest of the restriction was still present .
As she became powerless, both Dong Bai and Zou Shi struggled to mix into this city . They were arrested later after one of the shops reported to the guards that they did not have an identification token .
Zou Shi cried in the prison in desperation that they would get executed or ravished while they were in jail . Fortunately, the Department of Justice of Julu treated prisoners differently than other cities . They were guided to the judges and the prosecutors, which they met Sima Fang in the process . Afterward, it led to this situation .
’I have no obligation to take a mission . But I need a system skill to survive in this world . I guess I have no choice . ’
Dong Bai pushed the generate mission button in her status menu screen . The system gave out a loud bell chime in her mind .
[Hoho! Are you willing to be my slave now?]
"Slave your sister! Give me a mission! I need lifespans and a skill!"
[Is that the right tone to speak with your master? Don’t forget that I can kill you little imp at any time I want to!]
"Then go ahead and kill me! My godfather will see everything . He will come back here and erase your dimension!"
[... Now, little girl . You pissed me off . Fine, I’ll give you YOUR MISSION!]
[*Ding*]

"[Demonic Seal]? Since when did he get this skill? But why?"
[You don’t need to know . Just do it as I tell you to . ]
Dong Bai glared at the monitor screen where it described the quest details . The system A . I . was definitely plotting something sinister .
’She has the power to edit the skill herself, but why did she give this task to me? Is there something wrong with the skill? Or maybe ...’
The eyes of Dong Bai glinted . She had a theory .
’Someone stronger than the system A . I . put this skill on Tong, so she couldn’t delete it . ’
"I refuse this quest . I want another one!"
[No can do . No refund! You take it, then you complete it or fail it!]
Hearing that she could not cancel the mission, Dong Bai gave up trying to bargain with the system .
’I have a bad feeling with the word [Seal] . I don’t trust this system . I’ll get my power back once I return to Hell anyway . I should fail this mission . ’
’Besides, I need to delete Tong’s [Plot Armor] . I can’t waste my admin’s right on this dubious skill . ’
...
...
Meanwhile, Tong returned to his residence area . He had to consult with Hua Shi about Li Feihong’s treatment and about her being pregnant . This was Tong’s first time being a father, so he was nervous .
"Oh, hey . You’re back . "
Hua Shi sat on the middle of the courtyard with 4 maids tending her needs . On the tea table in front of her, fruits, herbal medicines, and snacks were lined up .
"It sucks when you can’t have a condom in this world, huh?" Hua Shi laughed as she continued eating apple pieces that the maid cut for her .
"How many months?"
"11 weeks . Crash course knowledge, we prefer counting pregnancy period as weeks, so we can get a more accurate prediction about the delivery dates . "
"Is it certain? I meant, is the local physician’s result reliable?"
"Meh, I double-scanned my stomach myself . It’s a positive . I even have her age in my status menu . "
"Her? It’s a girl? Normally it takes longer to verify the baby’s gender . "
"Pfft! We have cheat skills . Throw away that logic already . "
The maids looked at Hua Shi and Tong with weird complexion . They did not understand what they were talking about .
"You’re going to turn into a pig at this rate . "
"I have to eat a lot for another life, you know? Besides, fruits won’t get me fat . "
"Do you have experience in this last life?"
"Eh, nope! A scum shot me to death before I can even find a proper boyfriend . Heck, now that I think about it, all my latest pursuers turned into my food . It was one heck of a black-hole in my previous life . "
The moment the maids heard Hua Shi’s last sentences, they cringed .
Noticed the odd expression of the four maids, Tong excused them to leave .
"Your first time as a father, Tong?"
"Yeah, you can tell?"
"I’ve seen many fathers-to-be . I can tell . "
"So, how about your advice what I should do? As a veteran nurse . "
Hua Shi stopped eating the apple pieces in her hands and stared into Tong’s eyes . She said with a bright smile .
"Stop looking for your ex-girlfriend through my eyes and my body . Love me . "
"..."
"Spoil me . Cherish me . Care for me . "
"..."
"So that the baby can feel our connection . Give me your heart . "
"... I’ll try . "
"And also, I lacked nutritious for months . I need more of your sper-oof!"
Tong hammered his fist on top of Hua Shi’s head .
...
That night, Hua Shi and Tong performed surgery on Li Feihong . Six of his rib cages were broken and were not in the right alignment, which surgery was required .
His spine was fine . The back pain that Li Feihong had was a simple muscle bruise . However, he was not allowed to walk yet as he needed to practice a special breathing technique to avoid giving the pressure to the broken ribs .
Li Feihong would require a few weeks to rest .
...
The next day .
Tong escorted Hua Shi to the government hall in the morning to give the visitors a medical checkup .
The rest of the Jinyang elders and Ding Yuan was waiting for them there when Tong and Hua Shi arrived . They had their checkup as they asked for . Most of them had common elder diseases, such as back pains, hypertension, or migraine . They received their medication in a joyous mood .
During the medical inspection, Tong left the hall and went to the barrack to dispatch a messenger to Zhou Cang, who had yet to return .
Afternoon, Sima Fang brought Zou Shi and Dong Bai to Tong’s courtyard to visit him . Dong Bai was excited to see Tong . However, they received bad news from Tong’s servant .
"I’m sorry . Young master Zhang has gone to the government hall since this morning . He said that he will return in the late afternoon . "
They were disappointed that they could not meet him at the moment, but Dong Bai did not give up .
"Can we wait for him here?"
"Umm . That’s a bit..." The maid hesitated .
"It’s alright . I can vouch for these two . They were young Master Zhang’s acquaintances . "
Sima Fang assured their status . The maid bowed and allowed them to come inside . Both of the ladies decided to wait in the courtyard while Sima Fang excused himself to go back to work .
An hour later, Hua Shi returned to Tong’s residence . She finished her job for today .
"My lady, two lady guests have come to pay a visit to young master Zhang . They are waiting at the main courtyard at the moment . "
"Eh? Did he pick up a couple girls after he knew I’m pregnant? Where did these girls come from? Do you know about it?"
"Umm . Lord Sima Fang escorted them here personally . This servant doesn’t know their identities . "
"Hmm . It’s fine . You’re dismissed . "
"Thank you, my lady . "
Hua Shi pondered . Did that old fox try to seduce Tong with his daughters or granddaughters?
’I don’t remember that Sima Fang has a daughter . I thought he has like 8 sons or something . Bah! I’ll just meet them and interrogate them myself . Those minxes want my precious Tong’s sperm? Dream on! It’s mine alone!’
Hua Shi straddled toward the inner courtyard . Then she found a lady with her similar age and a little girl who was having a mini tea party . They were also eating the cookies that Tong had stored for Hua Shi .
’My cookies! Damn bitch! Not only you came here to seduce my man, but you also have the nerve to steal my snacks?’
’No, no . Be calm... I’m pregnant . I have to be calm . ’
After settled down her emotion, Hua Shi adjusted her hair and clothes . Then she approached the two .
The maids bowed their head to Hua Shi as she was their mistress . Zou Shi and Dong Bai noticed it and turned their gaze toward the approaching lady .
"Hello, you two . I’m Hua Shi, the MAIN WIFE of Lord Zhang Tong . Who might you bitches be?"
