Ling Cage: Many Children, Many Blessings - I Became the Head of Dawn

This is a good opportunity to plant a spy next to Qin Song.

The Hunter's Dormitory.

Penny sat by the window, gently stroking her belly. The setting sun shone on her face, adding a touch of maternal glow.

"Brother Song, when will I be able to see you again?"

Today she went to the maternity corridor and found out that she was pregnant.

Penny picked up her personal communicator and couldn't resist pressing Qin Song's number, but in the end she didn't dial it, afraid of causing him unnecessary trouble.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" The moment she opened the door, a figure squeezed in.

Just as she was about to scold him, she suddenly heard a voice that haunted her dreams.

Penny immediately threw herself into Qin Song's arms.

They hugged and kissed sweetly, and before they knew it, they were lying in bed.

When Penny came to her senses, she found herself completely naked.

She shyly buried her head in Qin Song's arms.

Qin Song stopped at the last step.

Penny looked up. "What's wrong?"

"You're newly pregnant, you can't afford any accidents."

"It's so kind of you……"

Penny clung tightly to Qin Song's neck, as if trying to merge herself into his body.

A moment later, she sensed something, blushed, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing!" Qin Song pretended to be indifferent, but his eyes were fixed on Penny's red lips.

He whispered in Penny's ear, and Penny's face turned even redder.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded...

After what seemed like an eternity, there was a sudden knock!

There was another knock on the door.

"Penny! Penny! Open the door!"

Penny's face turned pale, and she immediately panicked.

"It's Ran Bing, what should we do, what should we do?"

There was nowhere to hide in her room.

The two quickly got dressed.

Qin Song gently patted her shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm hiding under the covers."

Penny composed herself before opening the door.

Ran Bing walked in with a carefree attitude.

"Why did it take so long to open the door? Were you doing something naughty inside?"

Penny's expression changed slightly. She was about to explain, but Ran Bing seemed to be just joking. She plopped down on the bed and then felt something kick her foot. She looked down and saw...

"Hey! Why do you have a pair of men's shoes here?"

Penny quickly explained, "A friend of mine ran out of contribution points and asked me to help buy a pair."

Ran Bing felt that the shoes didn't look new, but she didn't pay attention and grabbed Penny's wrist.

"I heard you're pregnant?"

Penny glanced subconsciously at the bulging blankets and nodded with a smile.

Ran Bing immediately pressed her ear to Penny's belly, her face full of curiosity, "I heard that babies kick their bellies, is that true?"

Penny chuckled, "She's only just gotten pregnant! It can't be that fast."

"Oh!" Ran Bing finally looked up. "Huh, you just drank milk?"

She ran her finger across Penny's lips, then put it in her own mouth and tasted it.

Penny tried to stop it, but it was too late.

"Ptooey! Is this milk expired? I still have some quota left, you can have it all..." Ran Bing said as she handed her card to Penny.

"I still have..."

"Hey! Here, take it! I don't like drinking milk anyway, and since you're pregnant, it's good for you to eat more of it." Ran Bing stuffed it into Penny's hand without saying a word.

The two best friends have a close relationship and often exchange supplies with each other.

"Tell me quickly, what's it like going to the Dawn Hall?" Ran Bing tilted her head like a curious child.

Penny bit her lip and whispered, "It's fine..."

"How come you're better? I heard it's very painful every time." Ran Bing frowned slightly. "But when I think about carrying a baby, that little bit of pain is nothing..."

She has always loved children and would often go to the childcare corridor to play with the babies.

Unfortunately, she was the hunter's lieutenant, so no matter how she was assigned a role, it wouldn't be her turn.

Penny shook her head and said, "It did hurt a little the first time, but he was very gentle and it got better quickly."

Ran Bing, being inexperienced in such matters, naturally did not understand the other party's meaning.

"I heard it's because someone developed a new breeding manual that has greatly reduced the suffering of us women. You're really fortunate to have had that..."

"Oh, I remember now, isn't that Qin Song?"

"That guy's pretty good, even Mark couldn't beat him..."

Sui Sui Bing kept muttering to himself.

Penny suddenly froze, feeling a large hand moving behind her.

Ran Bing said, "I'll sleep with you tonight. It's been so long since we've been together."

Penny hurriedly said, "I have something to do tonight..."

"What could you possibly want? You're not going to see your boyfriend, are you? You're so fickle, tell me, did you and he do something indescribable?"

"I do not have."

"Tell me quickly..." Ran Bing reached out to scratch an itch.

Penny hurriedly dodged.

In the midst of their playful banter, Ran Bing suddenly placed her arm on the blanket, then her expression hardened, and she jumped up, shouting, "Who?!"

Penny turned pale; she'd been found out!

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Qin Song simply lifted the blanket and coughed lightly, "Ran Bing, long time no see."

"It's you!" Ran Bing exclaimed in shock. "How did you get here?"

Qin Song, without blushing or skipping a beat, said, "I am the supervisor of Chenxi. I am here specifically to conduct a physical examination for Penny."

Ran Bing snorted, "Why did you hide under the covers for the physical exam? Are you planning to do something shady?"

Qin Song forced an explanation: "I was just worried you'd misunderstand. It wouldn't be good for Penny if word got out that you two, a man and a woman, were alone together in a room."

Penny then realized what was happening and chimed in, "Yes, yes, Ran Bing, I was the one who made him hide under the covers."

Ran Bing looked at the two of them with suspicion.

Something's not right! These two are acting very strangely.

There's a designated area for physical examinations; why did Supervisor Chenxi need to make a special trip there? Besides, why is it closed?

Qin Song said seriously, "Reproduction is a very troublesome matter. Penny's body is somewhat special, and she does not want others to know about her condition."

His expression of concern for Penny immediately diverted Ran Bing's attention.

"Penny, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"

Penny noticed Qin Song repeatedly giving her meaningful glances and stammered, "It's...it's about the injury last time..."

"Oh? The baby wasn't hurt, was he?"

Chapter 20 The Ritual of the Long Journey

Ran Bing's concerned expression made Penny feel a little guilty.

However, in order not to give herself away, she had no choice but to continue explaining, "Elder Qin has already treated me, and I'm fine now."

"That's good!" Ran Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Qin Song earnestly and said, "Thank you, Qin Song."

Qin Song nodded slightly, "This is all arranged by the Holy Light! By the way, remember not to let Penny do heavy work in the future, and don't let her be frightened, otherwise she may have a miscarriage."

What does "miscarriage" mean?

"The problem is that I can't safely deliver the baby. If I miscarry, it could easily lead to lifelong infertility..."

Qin Song transforms into a science popularization expert, introducing postpartum care to two women.

Ran Bing immediately felt she had learned something, and she asked expectantly, "Then could you check if there's anything wrong with my body? Can I get pregnant?"

Qin Song immediately thought of Ran Bing's apparent fondness for children, and said, "Give me your hand."

Ran Bing immediately stretched out her arm.

Qin Song placed his fingers on her pulse points, closed his eyes slightly, and gradually furrowed his brows.

Ran Bing's heart started pounding.

Could it be that I am really infertile?

Could it be that the Lighthouse never assigned her breeding tasks not because she was a hunter's lieutenant, but because she was infertile?

Qin Song slowly opened his eyes.

Ran Bing looked nervous, as if she were waiting for a trial.

Qin Song said in a deep voice, "Your pulse is weak and thready, indicating symptoms of liver stagnation and blood stasis..."

Ran Bing, feeling both confused and impressed, couldn't help but ask, "Then I..."

Do you feel very tired every night? Is your period late this month?

"You'll have a hard time getting pregnant!" Qin Song concluded directly.

Ran Bing was struck dumb, frozen in place, with only one thought in her mind: she had difficulty getting pregnant, and she could not be a mother.

Fatigue and irregular periods are caused by excessive exercise.

Hunters train like mad on the lighthouse and deal with Devouring Beasts on the ground. How could they not be exhausted? They could scare away even their period.

However, all of this is for Ran Bing's own good, to prevent her from becoming a broken ice block; it's about saving her.

Mark is ultimately a different race, and there is no future for him and Ran Bing.

Moreover, he is indecisive and fears everything except the Devouring Beast.

If we follow the original story, even if Mark resurrects Ran Bing after killing her, it's still uncertain whether that body will be the original Ran Bing.

It should be noted that clones can also develop intelligence. If Ran Bing's life essence enters a clone, it is hard to guarantee that she will not be corrupted by the remaining intelligence and become another person.

Bai Yuekui's mentor is a perfect example.

As for Mana Ecology's claim that the source of life needs to be circulated, Qin Song didn't believe it at all.

According to the theory of cycles, the total amount of life essence is fixed, yet despite billions of human reproductions, we have not seen a large number of infants with intellectual disabilities.

On the contrary, human technology and intelligence have risen rapidly, even reaching the level of interstellar migration and immortality.

It was only after Mana's initial body discovered that humans had developed an immortality potion and that it could no longer absorb the life essence of the dead that it came out to cause trouble and destroy humanity.

Just when Ran Bing was in despair...

“However…” As soon as Qin Song finished speaking, a glimmer of hope instantly rose in Ran Bing’s eyes.
