Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 814 Pregnancy?!

The young toad was clearly stunned, and even loosened its grip on He Lingling's calf with its tongue.

"you……"

The young toad stared at He Lingling in disbelief, his eyes wide with indignation, and said:

"Were you about to throw up?!"

He Lingling instinctively wanted to explain that she was just sick, but she was stunned into silence by the angry words spoken by the young toad.

"Are you pregnant?!"

The young toad angrily questioned her, "I said, how did you suddenly get sick! You must be pregnant, right! Damn it!! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!! I won't raise another toad's bastard child! I'm telling you! The child in your belly can't stay!!!"

The young toad's angry cry drowned out all other sounds.

For a moment, the entire surface of the water was eerily quiet.

"..."

The toad in front of Xu Han stopped, jumped to the edge of the lotus flower and peeked at He Lingling and the young toad's "argument".

Xu Han even heard it muttering something like someone eating melon seeds:

"This is outrageous! This time, Xiao Ha has really married a terrible wife. Honestly, I don't know what his stepmother was thinking, choosing a pregnant girl instead?"

Xu Han opened his mouth in astonishment: "..."

Wait a minute... when did He Lingling get pregnant? How come he didn't know?

Just as Xu Han was wondering about this, the toad, which had been peeking at the lotus flowers from the edge, suddenly turned around—Xu Han was startled and took a step back.

What is this ugly toad looking at?

"My mom knows how to choose."

The toad chuckled at Xu Han and said proudly, "I didn't marry a lousy wife."

Xu Han: "..."

Xu Han was at a loss for words, his lips twitching and pursing. In the end, he could only rage helplessly in his heart—you wish! At least that little toad stole one that could get pregnant, but the one your mother cast in me is a complete useless piece of trash who can't get pregnant at all!

Completely unaware that his thoughts were becoming increasingly perverse, Xu Han breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the lotus flower where He Lingling was with a hint of worry.

I wonder if He Lingling can handle that toad...

Thanks to He Lingling, Anjie and Chen Yi were also lured by the "premarital pregnancy" drama, as the toad standing in front of them, who was also trying to "exchange feelings," and didn't even care about their intentions.

An and Chen exchanged a glance through the edge of the lotus petals, their worries gradually fading into their eyes.

Yu Shijiu continued to watch the show with great interest. In his opinion, if the toad opposite He Lingling couldn't help but want to make a move later, he could jump over and chop off its head with an axe.

Toads are not as difficult to cut as foster mothers.

When all species are in equal proportions, Yu Shijiu believes he can cut off quite a few toad heads.

It's okay, if Sister Lingling shows any signs of being hurt, he can just chop her up.

Thinking of Yu Shijiu, he leaned closer to the toad on the lotus flower, who was also watching the show, and whispered:

"It can't hit people, can it?"

The toad, clearly excited by this, shook its head and then nodded, whispering:

"It's hard to say. Little Clam has a bad temper, much like its father. They're both the kind of toads who will beat their wives."

“…” Yu Shijiu thought for a moment and then said, “What about you?”

Upon hearing this, the toad turned around and looked at Yu Shijiu. Its gaze swept over Yu Shijiu from head to toe nearly three times before it shook its head.

"You're so good-looking. As long as you behave and don't run away, I'll try my best not to hit you."

"..." Yu Shijiu sensed the condescension in the other person's tone, her gaze shifted repeatedly, and finally she blinked slowly.

"is it?"

Yu Shijiu smiled and curled the corners of her lips: "Then should I thank you?"

"Shouldn't it be?"

The toad grinned: "I think you should thank me. In our area, a toad doesn't really care about his wife."

“…” Yu Shijiu sighed, “It seems so, after all, you said you would try your best not to hit me.”

The toad didn't hear what he said clearly, but chuckled again and then turned its head to continue watching the show.

On the other side, after a brief moment of stunned silence, He Lingling finally found an opportunity to interject.

"Wait! How am I pregnant? Explain yourself! What do you mean I'm pregnant?"

"When did I get pregnant? How come I didn't know?"

The young toad jumped up and down in anger, shouting, "You dare talk back! My mom said! Human girls feel nauseous when they're pregnant, and feeling nauseous means they're pregnant!"

He Lingling was stunned. "What do you mean feeling nauseous means you're pregnant? If that's the case, then feeling nauseous means you're pregnant?"

"Pfft."

Xu Han couldn't help but laugh out loud, then quickly made up for it with an awkward smile as he looked at the toad peering over from the edge of the lotus flower:

"I wasn't laughing at anything, I was just listening, just listening..."

The toad's eyes darted around, and it suddenly asked, staring into Xu Han's eyes, "Do you feel like throwing up?"

Xu Han's smile froze: "What?! How could I be pregnant? I'm—"

He barely managed to stop himself from explaining, his heart pounding.

Judging from the situation, these toads clearly take having offspring very seriously. If I told them I couldn't get pregnant and was male... wouldn't these toads push me into the water and drown?

The thought of possibly dying made Xu Han instantly quiet down, and he stammered:

"Anyway, anyway, I'm not pregnant..."

On another lotus flower, the young toad, enraged by the retort, suddenly snapped its tongue shut, ready to pounce on He Lingling. "I'm a male toad! A male toad can't get pregnant even if it wants to vomit!"

Anjie, who had been observing the situation, frowned and pursed her lips, preparing to make a move if things went wrong.

On the lotus flower's stamen, He Lingling was dragged and slipped on the spot. Her heart sank, and she frantically racked her brains for a way to deal with the situation.

These toads aren't human, after all, and their understanding of human female pregnancy is so superficial—wait, what did it just say?

He Lingling's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The fact that it felt nauseous during pregnancy... was told to it by the young toad's "mother".

With her "Ghost Eyes" activated, the "stepmother" she saw was actually a human girl. Could it be... could it be that—

"I'm not pregnant!"

He Lingling suddenly shouted, "Eating something bad can make you feel nauseous, Mom! I think I told you that, right?!"

"..."

The young toad paused in its dragging motion, and the black lines between its clear yellow pupils gradually deepened. It stood frozen in place for nearly ten seconds before staring at He Lingling, who was lying on the flower stamen, with its blackened eyes.

“Yes…” The young toad scratched his face with four bumpy fingers, “Mom seems to have mentioned it to me too…”

So you're not pregnant?

The young toad said in confusion.

"..." He Lingling gritted her teeth: "Yes, I'm not pregnant."

"That's good."

The young toad was immediately appeased, and a smile spread across its ugly toad face as it retracted its tongue as if it were very happy.

He Lingling groaned and pulled her left leg back after it was rolled up.

Her left leg was covered in a sticky liquid, the fabric was wet and wrinkled, and there was a faint fishy smell.

He Lingling: "..."

He Lingling felt like she was going crazy, so crazy that she wanted to push the ugly toad that was hopping around in front of her into the water and drown it!

Unfortunately, I can't beat the other person!

Frustrated, He Lingling pressed her left calf with her hand, enduring the stench. Only after confirming that it was just a little sore and numb from being wrapped up for so long and that she was not injured did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully... thankfully it didn't break.

The young toad was overjoyed after confirming that she wasn't pregnant, and hopped closer to He Lingling, saying:

"Then, then we can get married the day after tomorrow! That's wonderful! You're not pregnant! You're a clean, sensible, and beautiful human girl!"

It made an unpleasant "quack quack quack" laugh in its throat, but what it said made He Lingling's heart tremble.

“Just like my later mother,” the young toad danced happily around her, turning and turning with a smile, “Great, you’re a good girl too!”

"..."

He Lingling's back started to get hairy.

Some kind of invisible, sticky, wet, even icy cold thread—no, it was like a net, an invisible net that seemed to have invisibly wrapped around her body.

Starting from the head, the fabric was pulled down, from loose to tight, little by little, inch by inch, slowly digging into the skin, making He Lingling feel a little breathless.

No...no...no!

Human girl... female toad... human girl... female toad...

He Lingling's pupils dilated again, and an invisible blackness spread outwards from the edge of her pupils. For a moment, He Lingling even felt something dripping from the corner of her eye...

"--call!"

Suddenly, a strong wind swept across the entire pond, causing the lotus leaves and flowers to sway precariously, and the players and toads sitting within them to shake unsteadily.

He Lingling's thoughts were abruptly interrupted. She abruptly raised her eyes, shook her head violently, and touched her eyes with trembling hands.

no……

Fortunately not.

This indicates that the "Ghost Eye" has only opened a very small gap and has not fully expanded.

He Lingling took a deep breath and looked up, only to find herself facing a young man kneeling on a lotus flower beside her, looking over.

Yu Shijiu sat very steadily, as if he couldn't feel the wind blowing around him at all, and smiled at He Lingling.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Lingling."

He Lingling saw him open his mouth towards her, silently and clearly saying, "I've been watching you. I will protect you, Sister Lingling."

"..."

In an instant, He Lingling's body, which seemed to be tightly bound by an invisible net, was as if a small cut had been made. She gasped for breath and gave Yu Shijiu a smile.

"it is good."

Yu Shijiu saw He Lingling wink at him, and the eerie blackness in her red-rimmed eyes, which had almost made her eyeballs bulge out, began to return to normal at a visible speed.

He Lingling's pupils were already larger than normal, and the distorted, dilated edges of her pupils sometimes even evoked a kind of inhuman coldness.

Yu Shijiu guessed that He Lingling had probably briefly activated her "Ghost Eye" talent for prophecy—knowing the past or the future—just now.

What did Sister Lingling see?

Because of the distance, Yu Shijiu didn't actually hear all of He Lingling's conversation with the toad.

He only vaguely heard the argument between the man and the toad, and He Lingling suddenly refuting the toad's stubbornness with something the "mother toad" had once said.

That female toad?

Yu Shijiu recalled the cracked bumps when the mother toad left, and pursed his lips.

Even someone like him, who doesn't care much about anything... found the scene a bit disgusting.

In particular, the moment the bumps on the mother toad's body burst open.

But then again... do all toads listen to their "mothers" like that?

They're not really human, and besides, not all humans listen to their mothers... Actually, no, these toads also make noises to threaten their mothers, and even hit them...

Yu Shijiu's head was throbbing from thinking. He raised his hand and tapped his head. Just as he looked away, he saw that the toad who had been watching the drama unfold across from him had hopped back in.

"Quack!"

The toad stuck out its tongue, licked it, grinned, and said:

"Then I need to go prepare for our wedding. You have to be good, or you won't get beaten, understand?"

Yu Shijiu was very obedient. He knelt in the center of the flower and nodded to the toad.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

The toad was overjoyed and forgot all about preparing for the wedding. It jumped up and grabbed Yu Shijiu's hand and rubbed his arm against hers. The stench of the frog spread from the toad to Yu Shijiu, but Yu Shijiu's expression remained unchanged.

He even reached out and grabbed the toad's hand—a "hand" that was quite different from a human's, with only four fingers.

"Your hands are not quite the same as my hands."

Yu Shijiu curiously grabbed the toad's hand, completely unaware of the astonished and admiring glances from the surrounding players, and smiled as he talked to the toad:

"You only have four fingers, and they're gray."

"Quack quack—how could that be?"

The toad sensed the warmth of the human "girl," and its cold, sticky gaze gradually turned greedy. "Later, after we get married, your hands will gradually turn into hands just like mine..."

As it spoke, it moved closer to Yu Shijiu's shoulder, attempting to rest its enormous toad head against it—but Yu Shijiu grabbed its hand and forcefully pulled it down onto the flower's stamen.

"ah!"

Yu Shijiu, not being very professional, was surprised for a moment, then let go of her hand and crawled back on his knees. "Why did you suddenly fall down?"

"……fine."

The toad hopped up from the ground in a contorted pose. "I was just too excited thinking about how we're getting married the day after tomorrow."

"..." Yu Shijiu wore a fake smile, nodded upon hearing this, and raised her head with feigned arrogance, but:

"Then I want the best clothes, the kindest clothes, and the most delicious food."

"Of course!"

The toad's eyes turned green as it looked at him, nodding repeatedly and making cheerful "croaking" sounds.

"Then why aren't you getting ready?"

Yu Shijiu urged, "Hurry up! While the other toads haven't moved yet, you'd better get ready! I want the best of everything!"
