She held Guangxia's body down, and the look in her eyes became kinder.
Who would hate a person whose body was full of oranges and still exuded tangy and sweet orange juice?
"Don't move, the juice is all leaking out."
The stomach contracted violently, and a drop of warm orange juice splattered on Zheng He's lips. She couldn't resist licking it.
Indeed, it was refreshing, capable of invigorating the mind and body, far superior to the industrial sugar syrup flavor of guokate oranges.
Amidst the juicy orange segments, there lay a dark little creature, with eight legs, each one deeply inserted into the orange. The orange juice was merging into the tiny monster's body in an arc visible to the naked eye.
This...should be Guangxia's baby?
Zheng He's gaze fell, the little monster belched at her with an orange scent.
Can this thing kill people?
Is this the calamity beast?
Guangxia felt her belly break, and she began to twist her body crazily, staring at Zheng He with bulging eyes, "Baby!"
Zheng He raised her arm to wipe the orange juice from her face, "What are you shouting, I'm not your baby."
"The surgery was a great success. Look, your baby is right here!"
Guangxia's movements faltered, and his every corner of his eyes and eyebrows were filled with extreme joy. He tilted his neck and looked into the tattered abdomen.
Above his flesh and vital organs, a pair of large, dark eyes blinked at him.
To be honest, just looking at this pair of clear and innocent eyes, it's quite cute.
If we ignore the fact that the essence of this thing is not a sticky spider.
Zheng He wrinkled her brow and pulled out this black little spider from the orange segment. Guangxia's eyes followed the movement of this little monster, and his eyes, which naturally emanated love, gradually turned into panic.
He shouted and twisted back, "What the hell is this thing!"
"Kill it! Kill it!"
Old Wu and the monkey gritted their teeth to resist fear, glanced sideways for a moment, and their eyes turned as horrified as Guangxia's. They didn't even bother holding Guangxia down. They rolled and crawled along with the opened abdomen of Guangxia, hiding in the farthest corner of the cockpit.
"Child-spider!"
Lao Wen recognized this ugly and cute thing at a glance. He was overwhelmed with panic and screamed with bloodshot eyes, "How did this thing get on board!"
The spider had only eight legs that were not fully developed, and it looked limp and powerless. However, Lao Wen's panic was greater when he saw it than when he saw Zheng He.
"Child-spider?"
So Guangxia is pregnant with this creature's child?
Zheng He extended her hand and poked the spider's body, flipping it over directly.
"Sister, this ... this thing, whoever touches it will ... "
Lao Wen gritted his teeth, "This thing shouldn't exist in the sea!"
Zheng He asked, "Say it clearly."
"This thing, whoever touches it, will become impotent!"
The three men were trembling and huddled in the corner, obviously having heard of the creature's fearsome reputation.
Hah, interesting.
Zheng He raised her eyebrows, her expression unchanged. With the three men looking at her with reverence, she stepped on the small pregnant spider with one foot and ground its soft and tender belly, "Then why call it a child-spider?"
Shouldn't it be called the 'curse of sterility and solitude' spider?
Both Lao Wen and the monkey turned their eyes towards Guangxia simultaneously. None of the three said anything.
I understand.
This little thing is quite dominant. It makes people impotent, but it can get someone pregnant, regardless of gender and disregarding reproductive isolation.
The monkey muttered an explanation: "Actually, it's not completely impotent. Once targeted by this thing, regardless of gender, people will be particularly ... um ... aroused for a while, and then they won't be able to get an erection after getting pregnant."
Zheng He clicked her tongue, picked up the little monster that looked somewhat cute, and wrinkled her brow before throwing it to the ground.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing might make people have a big belly, Zheng He would have liked to keep a few to play with.
After all, she doesn't need an erection.
The little monster's eyes blinked and seemed to be unaware of its current situation.
Perhaps this thing hasn't grown a brain yet.
Zheng He wiped her hands, which were covered in orange juice, roughly on her clothes and glanced at the eight-legged spider on the ground whose limbs were still underdeveloped.
She stepped on the little monster with one foot, and under her foot, the little monster instinctively struggled violently.
Like a fish on a chopping board.
Totally unaware that the more it struggles, the faster the knife will fall.
Zheng He lifted the axe high above her head, looking down at the little monster that was looking at her with big eyes with an emotionless expression.
"Little baby, happy birthday!"
A sharp hiss—
Without hesitation, she swung the axe down. The first swing chopped off the little monster's head, the second chopped off four of its legs, and the third chopped off the remaining four.
The last axe cut the entire little monster in two.
The body of the little monster was sliced open, releasing a large amount of fresh yellow orange juice.
Who would have thought that this little monster is also made of orange filling.
All the parts that were cut off writhed in pain on the ground. Zheng He put down the axe, and those big, flashy eyes that blasted their way through, finally lost their glow and lay motionless on the ground.
That's good. In the future, Guangxia can celebrate both the birthday and the day of mourning for this little monster at the same time.
According to countless monster-killing movies and novels, this thing is likely not to die easily just from being sliced by a knife or axe, and throwing it into the sea isn't reliable either. This thing is probably from the sea.
Zheng He stacked the little monster's remains that smelled of oranges with her foot, picked up the fallen candlestick, and directly poured the oil along with the flame onto those sticky limbs.
The air was immediately filled with the unique aroma of roasted oranges.
Zheng He took a deep breath, turned to face Guangxia's lifeless gaze, and she realized that as the captain, she probably had to provide some comfort to the crew.
Now that Guangxia's abdomen is open, she doesn't look like she could survive.
If a doctor were here, they might say something like:
"Um, before congratulating you, Guangxia, on the arrival of your precious... "
It's not clear if this thing is male or female.
Zheng He changed her speech, "After all, this child just looked very healthy at first."
"You are quite capable."
Guangxia rolled her eyes and closed them, then fainted, lifeless.
The fire next to her quickly died down, and Zheng He saw in the dim light of the fire a thing that glowed with a yellowish light.
The thing had a small subtitles on it:
[Child-Spider Liquor].
Zheng He quickly glanced at Lao Wen and the monkey, who dared not meet her gaze. They carried Guangxia, who was unconscious, and went out.
"Sister, I... we will take Guangxia to take some medicine."
"Ha ha, yes, Sister... me and Lao Wen together!"
Lao Wen and the monkey left hand in hand and stepped out of the cockpit together.
They should have completely missed seeing the thing floating on the ground that was similar to a game effect.
Zheng He reached out into the air and plucked the [Child-Spider Liquor] out from among the ashes.
The light blue subtitles appeared like ripples.
[30ml Child-Spider Liquor: After consumption, it can effectively control epilepsy, keep the drinker calm, and adjust the drinker's body to its best state.
