Chapter 134: Latnos Part 5: What To Do With A Baby?

Inside a secluded room in the Yellow Palace.

"HOW DARE YOU FRAME MY PALACE! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS WILL MEAN FOR OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HI EMPIRE?!" Chen Jing screamed at Yang.

"Whatever do you mean, Mr. Chen? When have I ever done that?" Yang pretended.

"GIVE ME BACK MY TOKEN, YOU LITTLE THIEF!" Chen Jing screamed.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me! You dropped this last time you came to our store!" Yang spoke as he handed him back the Yellow Palace token.

"STOP PRETENDING! I KNOW YOU USED THIS AT THE AUCTION TO THREATEN HE WEI, THAT CHUBBY HERETIC!"

"Mr. Chen, it's not what you think! I had a good reason for using your token!"

"WHAT POSSIBLE REASON COULD YOU HAVE FOR BETRAYING MY TRUST?!"

"Well, you see!"

Yang then went on to talk about old man Hu's tragic backstory, while emphasizing and exaggerating whatever parts would tug on Chen Jing's heart strings the most.

"So, the reason you asked me to look into quaqien slaves, was to look for your friend's family!"

"Yes! But when we found his daughter at the auction house, that mean fatso used his dad's name to cheat in the auction! As a parent yourself, you understand right? I couldn't just let old man Hu lose his daughter a second time! So, I had no other choice but to mention your name to save that poor girl!"

"*sigh* You may be clever for your age, but a child is still a child in the end!" Chen Jing sighed before continuing.

"Little Yang! Though you were in the right, you were still too impulsive! There are many factors to consider when dealing with someone connected with Mr. He! You could have just come to me, and I would have understood! I could have used my connections to get them to give her to you peacefully, but now you have stirred up a whole heap of trouble between our factions!"

"I understand I caused Mr. Chen some trouble, so as an apology I'll gift you this for free!" Yang said as he pulled out a Dark Lord themed version of the 'Creation of Adam' (by Michelangelo), featuring Chen Jing as the old man touching fingers with the naked Dark Lord.

"Ehem! Well, you are still a child! Mistakes like this are to be expected!" Chen Jing said as he quickly placed the painting in his spatial storage ring.

"So, has the artistic devil shown herself again?"

"No, not this time! I heard Mr. Chen's birthday was coming up! So, I kept this one secretly to surprise you! But it seems I will just have to think of something else!"

"How thoughtful of you!" Chen Jing said, feeling genuinely touched as even his own child didn't show him this much affection anymore.

"Sorry, for causing you trouble! It won't happen again, Mr. Chen!" Yang said while giving the old man the best puppy eyes he could manage.

"Please, don't worry about it! And you don't have to call me 'mister'! You don't need to be so formal with this old man!"

"Then grandpa Chen! I promise to give you an even bigger surprise for your birthday!" Yang said as he waved goodbye before leaving the room.

"G-Grandpa!" Chen Jing stuttered, not expecting Yang to use such an overly affectionate form of address.

*sigh*

"My son could learn a thing or two about filial piety from that boy! Maybe I can recruit him through adoption? I always wanted another son!" Chen Jing mused to himself as he pondered what would be the best way to recruit Yang to the Yellow Palace.

…

*Ding**Dong*

"Okay, I'm done! How's the birthday surprise coming along?" Yang asked after returning from his meeting with Chen Jing.

"IT'S-!"

"Inside voice please!"

"Whoopsie! Sorry!" Yin said after lowering her volume a bit.

"It's almost done! We are just waiting on the saxophone guy! The other two have already finished up their stuff and are ready to go whenever!"

"And what about that new pet of yours? Have you finished training her?"

"Yep! I don't even need to bring out her treats anymore to make her heel! I got her to rollover and give me her paw and everything!"

"Good job!" Yang said as he ruffled Yin's hair.

*Giggle*

"Okay, so any idea on when-!"

*Groan*

*Splash*

"CHOCO! WHAT'S WRONG?!" Old man Hu screamed from upstairs interrupting Yin and Yang's birthday plans.

"I-I think my water just broke!"

"WHAT?!"

"*sigh* And I thought we were almost done!" Yang complained.

"YAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT IS! I BET IT'S A GIRL! NO! A BOY! NO! A GIRL!" Yin squealed excitedly.

"Focus! Go get all the stuff you need!"

"YES, SIR!" Yin saluted before running off to get what they needed for the delivery.

…

*Huff**groan*

*baby crying*

"IT'S A GIRL! YAY! WHOOPSIE!" Yin screamed, as she accidentally dropped the slippery baby she just helped deliver on to the floor.

Fortunately, her brother had foreseen this situation and placed pillows all over the room to cushion the baby's fall.

"*Huff* C-Can I see?" Choco asked, still sweating from the whole experience.

In Yin's arms, was a slime covered baby girl.

Not long after she had reunited with her father, Choco had faced a dilemma. After being enslaved, she had been passed around the kingdom of Kai as a sex slave. However, when her pregnancy became apparent, she was transported to Latnos to be auctioned off alongside her unborn child. And the time of its birth was approaching. Seeing she was not happy about raising the child of a man she didn't know, Yang had offered to take the child of her hands after it was born. Her emotions in turmoil, Choco had been reluctant to give the boy an answer.

However, as she looked upon her child, she had just given birth to, she made up her mind.

"I-I *sob* I can't!"

"What's wrong Choco? Please stop crying! I know it was hard to accept, but your father is here!"

"*sob* No! I don't want this! *sniffle* I-I'm not ready to be a mom! Not like this! *sob* I-I don't want it!"

While Hu was trying to calm his whaling daughter down, Yin's eyes lit up, turning completely white as she and her brother carried the whaling newborn out of the room.

"YOU HEARD THAT, RIGHT YANG? SHE DOESN'T WANT IT! THAT MEANS ITS OURS, RIGHT? RIGHT?"

"Yeah! So, put tha-!"

"BOTTOMS UP!" Yin said, cutting off her brother's words.

Shortly after, the mouth of her fish-mask suddenly opened, revealing several rows of teeth as it stretched out to try and swallow the newborn whole.

*Baby Crying*

*Bonk*

However, Yang seeing what his sister was trying to do, swiftly clobbered her on the head, before taking the baby away from her.

"OUCH! WHAT WAS THAT FOR! WE AGREED I GET TO EAT THE GIRLS AND YOU GET THE BOYS!"

"We aren't allowed to do that anymore! Remember!"

"OH YEAH! SORRY I FORGOT! BUT WE CAN STILL HAVE THE AFTERBIRTH, RIGHT? ALSO, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WITH A BABY? DO WE GIVE IT TO HER? SHE ALWAYS LIKED KIDS! OR MAYBE WE CAN-!"

As Yin kept pestering her brother with ideas for how to make use of their newly abandoned child, Yang had already decided what to do with it.

"I THINK THE ONE UP NORTH WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A NEW LAB RAT! OH, AND THERE IS ALSO-!"

*smash*

*Saxophone solo*

"Hohoho! Merry Christmas everybody!"

"WHO ARE YOU?! GET OUT OF HERE!" Old man Hu shouted at the Jolly old man who just smashed through the bedroom window while playing a saxophone.

"*sigh* We are giving it to Santa!"
