The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands-Chapter 365: Up the Mountain Again
Chapter 365
Lin Zaozao, arm in arm with Han Ye, turned around and greeted Ye Yi's father, Luo Xuan. She then couldn't help but survey her surroundings.
This building was situated atop a mountain. Due to its high elevation, it was extremely cold here.
The cold wasn't what surprised Lin Zaozao. What shocked her was that this place wasn't governed by the laws of this small world.
This area was protected by an array formation.
Otherwise, when she had left this small world earlier, Han Ye and the others, as men who were pregnant, would have certainly been affected by the laws of this realm.
Thinking about this, Lin Zaozao looked at Han Ye and the others' protruding bellies, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Since this world rejected the idea of men being pregnant and giving birth, there would undoubtedly be great risks when Han Ye and the others went into labor.
Now, seeing their swollen bellies, Lin Zaozao knew she had to quicken her pace.
She had to find a foolproof method to ensure they could safely deliver their babies before Han Ye and the others went into labor.
And this foolproof method lay with her brother, Xi Luo.
Now, it was time for her to find her brother, Luo Luo.
"Zaozao!"
"Father Luo Xuan," Lin Zaozao responded respectfully, looking at Luo Xuan.
"It's getting dark. I've prepared dinner inside. Let's go in and eat!"
"Alright, we'll go in now."
Lin Zaozao held Han Ye and Gu Shan's hands. After taking two steps, she suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped, turning to address the members of the Baichi Clan.
"My husband Murong Hai will be arriving soon. Please arrange for some people to wait here. When they arrive, bring him to me."
"As you command, Your Highness Ming Zhu," a middle-aged man in a gray robe said respectfully.
"Very well, let's go inside then!"
Lin Zaozao exchanged a glance with Luo Xuan before stepping inside.
As Lin Zaozao truly entered this magnificent building, her suspicions were gradually confirmed.
This place was the backup plan Xi Luo had left for her.
After dinner, Lin Zaozao, guided by Xiao Liuli and Ye Yi, found Luo Xuan.
"Father Luo Xuan!"
"Your Highness Ming Zhu!"
"I've come to find you. I think you probably know why."
"Indeed."
Luo Xuan looked at Lin Zaozao, took two steps back, and then knelt down on both knees. He bowed his head to the ground several times in respect.
"Oh no, no, no! Father Luo Xuan, Ye Yi, Xiao Liuli, and I are about to have our children. You're about to become a grandfather. How can you bow to me like this?" Lin Zaozao hurriedly stepped forward to help Luo Xuan up, speaking anxiously.
"Your Highness Ming Zhu!"
"Father Luo Xuan, please just call me Zaozao! We're all family. You really don't need to be so formal with me."
"Zaozao, when we were in the Canglan Imperial Palace, I told you that you are the holy maiden of our Baichi Clan. Do you know what responsibilities the holy maiden of the Baichi Clan bears?"
"Father Luo Xuan, please just tell me directly. Don't keep me in suspense."
"Zaozao, in your previous life, you were a great priestess with extraordinary abilities. Have you noticed anything different about this place compared to the outside world?"
"Father Luo Xuan, this place has been set up with a massive array formation. So it's not bound by the laws of this world, is that right?"
"Correct. Many years ago, a man established an array formation on Nine Sky Mountain, separating everything here from the outside world. The purpose of this array was to preserve his physical body from destruction.
Our Baichi Clan was saved by that man. The reason he saved us was that the Baichi Clan has pure hearts and isn't easily influenced by external forces.
To repay this debt of gratitude, our Baichi Clan has been guarding Nine Sky Mountain for thousands of years.
Before he was encased in ice, that man said that only a girl who could make men pregnant and was surrounded by a Buddhist light could rescue him from his icy prison.
And that girl who could rescue him from the ice is the holy maiden of our Baichi Clan."
Hearing Luo Xuan's words, Lin Zaozao felt her teeth itch with irritation.
What holy maiden? They really knew how to come up with names.
Tch! More like a charlatan.
She remembered when Xi Luo was creating the system, he told her to do her best to save a man encased in ice when she encountered him.
At that time, Xi Luo must have lost his memories. All he could remember was that she would definitely save him.
And this frozen body was probably his only hope for resurrection.
As for the Buddhist light surrounding her, that was something she had traded half of her lung for with a demon in her previous life.
The purpose of this Buddhist light was that as long as she wore it, she could easily pass through various seals.
Thinking of how Xi Luo's body had disappeared in her arms in the illusory world, Lin Zaozao felt a lump in her throat.
Her Xi Luo, for her sake, had used his cursed body-splitting technique to divide himself into so many entities.
She knew about Xi Luo's cursed body-splitting technique.
A person's soul and body are nurtured by heaven and earth. If he had to split his body into so many parts, the pain of forcibly separating soul and flesh would make anyone tremble with fear.
But to repeatedly divide the separated body and soul... that kind of pain...
Thinking about the agony Xi Luo must have endured when separating his body and soul, Lin Zaozao bit her lower lip, her heart aching terribly.
"Father Luo Xuan, tomorrow, please take me to the eye of the array that your Baichi Clan has been guarding."
Seeing Lin Zaozao's slightly reddened eyes, Luo Xuan nodded silently.
As long as Lin Zaozao could rescue that man encased in ice, their Baichi Clan would have repaid their debt of gratitude.
A thousand years of guardianship could come to an end.
This way, their Baichi Clan would truly be free...
"Ye Yi, Xiao Liuli, have Murong Hai and Dashan come up the mountain? What about Zhao Cai and Jin Bao, those two little wolf cubs? Have they come up?"
"They've all come up the mountain. They're eating in the side hall right now."
"What about Zhao Cai and Jin Bao?"
Speaking of Zhao Cai and Jin Bao, Ye Yi and Xiao Liuli's expressions became a bit unnatural.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Lin Zaozao asked, looking at Ye Yi and Xiao Liuli with confusion.
"Well, Zaozao, Zhao Cai and Jin Bao did indeed come up the mountain. However, Jin Bao was carried up in turns by Murong Hai, Dashan, and the Wizard."
"Why?"
"Jin Bao is pregnant, and Zhao Cai was probably worried about tiring her out. So Zhao Cai kept stopping Murong Hai and Dashan, making them carry Jin Bao up the mountain."
Xiao Liuli couldn't help but smile as she thought about the pitiful sight of the three grown men—Murong Hai, Dashan, and the Wizard—arriving at the top, so exhausted they could barely stand straight.
As for Zhao Cai and Jin Bao?
They were hopping and jumping around in front of Murong Hai, Dashan, and the Wizard. Seeing their smug expressions, the three men were absolutely furious.
Hearing Xiao Liuli's words, Lin Zaozao was momentarily stunned.
Jin Bao was carried up the mountain by Murong Hai, Dashan, and the Wizard?
Jin Bao's body was so large, it must weigh at least four or five hundred jin (about 200-250 kg). With such a heavy load, and considering how steep the path up Nine Sky Mountain was, how on earth did Murong Hai and the others manage to carry Jin Bao up?
Their strength must be absolutely incredible.
She had thought that Murong Hai's ability to lift her 280-jin (140 kg) self with one hand was already the limit of his capabilities.
