Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Chapter 344: Becoming a National Treasure-Level Figure

-------------

Zhou Xiuhua, hearing that they would be returning to their hometown as winter approached, felt a renewed vigor.

Despite the comfortable and leisurely life that the elderly couple was leading here, with money to earn, deep down they were still concerned about their relatives and the land back at the Cai Family’s place.

"Good Sauce" salted zongzi had become a hit and remained incredibly popular throughout the month without any sign of fading.

Zhang Shanni’s belly was also getting bigger by the day, and with June approaching, she was entering the eight and a half month mark of her pregnancy. The size of her belly was truly startling, and it also filled people with deep concern.

Xie Jingchen’s job had stabilized, and although from time to time people still came to Tanning Temple to snoop around for information, it was evident that after the military withdrew half a month earlier, they were left confused.

With Zhang Shanni’s substantial investment, the Peach Tree Demon’s roots had spread throughout Tan Ning Mountain. According to Zhang Shanni’s spiritual power, to thoroughly imbue the material would require an additional one-third of her spiritual energy.

And her spiritual energy was so obscure now that she couldn’t even see where Tao Nu had moved its roots to—her current limit for penetrating the ground was around two hundred meters.

It was clear that the creature had also burrowed deep into the underground layers.

Though Tao Nu claimed that it would suffer damage from the subterranean heat, the "Woodworm" would not be having an easy time either! It had Spirit Cores provided by the Spirit Lord to withstand it!

Listening to that, Zhang Shanni’s lips twitched, and she was going frantic inside. Although she had many Fourth-level Spiritual Cores, considering the rate Tao Nu consumed them—one per year—it would be better to throw the thing out into outer space sooner rather than later!

Thanks to Tao Nu’s words, of course, Xie Jingchen openly made gestures of retreat, which actually allowed him to catch several big fish!

The tasks Xie Jingchen was responsible for on the surface had been submitted, as Tanning Temple had been thoroughly searched "to a depth of three chi" without discovering anything. The temple had been scanned numerous times with instruments, and superiors had checked and found no unaccounted objects, which finally led to the agreement for Xie Jingchen’s withdrawal.

Let’s not mention the petty tantrums Zhang Shanni threw privately at Xie Jingchen. When she, cradling her large belly, descended the stairs, even Xie Tiesheng felt the urge to step forward and support her—

My goodness, even though she is pregnant with twins, ever since Third Son’s Wife’s belly entered the seventh month, it inflated like a balloon, growing visibly every day.

When Zhang Shanni was kidnapped in a mishap, the elders were unaware. Seeing that Zhang Shanni’s complexion wasn’t too good and Xie Jingchen said that he would take good care of her, Zhou Xiuhua let go and began to nourish Third Son’s Wife’s body even more...

But in just half a month, her belly grew by a quarter—though that might not seem like a lot, it’s substantial considering Zhang Shanni’s belly already looked like she was about to give birth!

Another quarter increase, and the belly would indeed be too large. Zhou Xiuhua feared that for Ni’s first birth, if the babies were too big, it would not bode well for her... The main concern was that, after returning to the county town, Zhang Shanni hardly exercised. The old lady was also worried; that little girl’s frame was already small enough, and now she had to give birth to twins!

And because they were concerned that Zhang Shanni wasn’t getting enough exercise, the whole family took turns taking her out for walks—there was no helping it, as Zhang Shanni’s pregnancy fatigue got even more severe, and she practically lived the life of a ’pig’...

Oh my, the closer it got to the delivery date, whether it was the old man Xie Tiesheng or the little girl Xiaoqi, they treated Zhang Shanni like she was a national treasure, always accompanied wherever she went.
