Chapter 302 Heavenly Master 9
Situ Shuangshuang and her master’s home is a four-courtyard house. This four-courtyard house covers a significant area and is built in a classical, elegant style. The open spaces in the courtyard have been cultivated by Situ Shuangshuang and her master, planted with various fruits and vegetables, enough to be self-sufficient.
It is said that Chen Qi, when younger, helped a wealthy person with exorcism, and this four-courtyard house was the reward. It was also the highest reward Chen Qi ever received in his life.
Thanks to this four-courtyard house, they don’t have to pay rent and can provide vegetables and fruits for their daily meals, which prevents life from being too tight for the master and apprentice.
When Situ Shuangshuang gave the money to Chen Qi, he was also very happy, but he was most delighted to see that pile of meat.
Looking at the meat, Chen Qi’s eyes were about to turn green—finally, no need to be a rabbit! They can indulge in some meat! Although they have a vegetable garden at home with a variety of vegetables to fry up different dishes, without meat, it never felt satisfying.
That evening, the master and apprentice had a good meal with braised pork ribs, braised beef with potatoes, and a large plate of spicy chicken. This extravagance was only for that once; in the future, the meat couldn’t be eaten so luxuriously and had to be stir-fried with vegetables.
In the following days, Situ Shuangshuang, on her way to and from school, kept an eye on the place where she saw the small spirit baby. Sure enough, she encountered the spirit baby crawling out twice more. Each time it saw Situ Shuangshuang, the little spirit baby would smile and wave at her, obviously very fond of her.
Every time she encountered the spirit baby, Situ Shuangshuang would send the little thing back into its mother’s womb, but she had a bad premonition in her heart.
Although spirit babies can easily leave the flesh to roam, they wouldn’t do it so frequently unless the pregnancy was unstable, with a constant risk of miscarriage, making the spirit baby uncomfortable in the body, thus frequently escaping from it.
Situ Shuangshuang thought about it, drew a Fetus Protection Talisman, and then waited in a corner for the spirit baby’s mother to come out. She had previously used her Divine Sense to see the spirit baby’s mother, a young girl who looked no more than twenty-one or twenty-two years old, but her belly was already showing, though not very obvious, looking about three or four months along. Situ Shuangshuang had never given birth herself, so she could only guess.
