Chapter 900: I Cannot Let Go

Bai Meiyue had only closed her eyes when she heard the door open; she immediately opened her eyes and looked at Lei Qian. She was still a little weak after giving birth and felt truly tired. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at Lei Qian. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Lei Qian, who was sneaking closer to the cot like a little thief. He looked left and right and then sat at the edge of the bed before whispering, "He is so cute. He is like a little angel."

His son was the cutest. The more Lei Qian looked at his son, the more he liked him. The more he stared at his face, the more his heart felt soft as a puddle. It was as if he had completely forgotten the torment that the little one had made him go through earlier in the afternoon.

"Well, he is an angel when he is sleeping." Bai Meiyue slowly lay back on the bed. The bed was too small, only a single nursing bed, and it was only enough for her and her son to lie down; there was no space left for Lei Qian. Seeing that there was no space and yet the man was insisting on sitting next to them, she could not help but kick him in the back. "Go and sleep with your family. There is no space today."

"I will leave once I am done."

Lei Qian tucked Bai Meiyue under a thick blanket. Even though the weather was too hot, Lei Qian was told that it was important for women in the postpartum period to be careful. In fact, it was better if they stayed covered up, or else they would face all kinds of trouble in the future.

So Lei Qian pulled Bai Meiyue’s quilt very high and tucked her in such a fashion that even her chin was covered by the blanket. He covered her tightly, making sure that not even a single gust of wind could blow past right into the blanket. His appearance almost made Bai Meiyue burst into laughter. Was he trying to roast her slowly or something? It was a good thing that she could cool down her body temperature on her own, or else she was worried that she would have fainted due to the heat.

After covering Bai Meiyue from head to toe, Lei Qian lay down on the couch inside the clinic. His gaze remained fixated on the crib inside, in which his son was sleeping just as peacefully. At first, Bai Meiyue stared at him, but soon her tired body could no longer hold on and she ended up sleeping. She had no idea how long Lei Qian continued to stare at Bai Cai, but he stared at the little boy for a long, long time and he only left when Lei Yan came to call him.

After Lei Qian left, the three snakes that were hiding in the corner of the clinic came out. They snuck close to the crib and then climbed up before snuggling close to Xiao Bai. Because the three of them were still young, Bai Meiyue did not sense them and didn’t wake up.

What was more, Bai Meiyue had raised Xiao Cai really well this time around. He was born healthy and with Bai Meiyue taking care of herself, she could produce enough milk for the child. Xiao Cai thus only needed to worry about eating and sleeping. With his belly full and his hunger satiated, he did not wake up, which was quite a big progress when compared to her past life.

In her previous life, Bai Meiyue did not know whether it was because she did not have enough milk or because she could not give enough sense of security to her son, Xiao Cai, who would often wake up crying in the middle of the night. He cried day and night and only closed his eyes whenever Bai Meiyue was hugging him. He used to fall asleep in her arms, but whenever Bai Meiyue placed him on the bed, he would start crying.

What was more, Bai Meiyue was busy running around. She spent most of her time collecting supplies; after all, she had to raise the Bai family. Thus, it was not a surprise that there was not enough milk supply.

But now things were different; Mother Bai prepared fish soup for Bai Meiyue every day. She made sure that Bai Meiyue would be able to eat and drink enough every day so that the milk supply would remain stable. Now Bai Meiyue produced so much milk that each side was heavily dripping with milk. She had developed such an immense supply that Bai Cai could not even finish drinking the milk.

These days were as blissful as they could be!

While Bai Meiyue was living a good life, Master Ning was going crazy. After the last attack, he did not give up looking for the king snake and made sure that he stayed near the safe base; however, even if he managed to linger outside the safe base, the truth was that he could not get inside the safe base at all. Because, for some reason, the toxicity of the poisonous mist had increased tenfold from the last time. The beasts he sent to look out never returned, and it was difficult for him to pinpoint the locations of the three snakes.

What was more, ever since Lei Qian awakened, it was as if the ability users’ morale had been boosted. There was even stricter patrolling than before. In such circumstances, it was impossible for Master Ning to enter the safe base. However, the man was unwilling to leave. He wanted to make sure that the three snakes would come into his grasp once again, or else he would end up losing all of his hard work.

"Shall we send another team to gather info about the safe base?" Master Ning said to Lu Yin. He knew that it would be a wise decision to leave but he honestly could not bring himself to let go of the king of snakes.
