This Crayfish Is Not Edible - Chapter 209

Yukiya placed Long Ki’s hands on her tummy and whispered, “I think the baby is close.” her tummy that was flat all this time started to form a small bump. The egg inside was growing big rapidly, pushing against her spine.

“AHHHH,” Yukiya screamed from the Excruciating pain. She clenched onto the crystal walls of the tub and screamed out loud.

The dragon panicked. He gently caressed the little bump on her slimy tail and glanced at her worriedly. “Does it hurt too much? Wait, I’ll share my spiritual energy,” he whispered and send his spiritual energy inside her body. Weirdly so, his spiritual energy was sucked to a certain point in her body. The fetus was jumping jubilantly, sucking his spiritual energy into itself. ‘I think my baby is in pain too.’ Thinking so he inserted a lot of his energy into her body gently. This time as well, the little egg hopped over and ate all. “Baby, don’t be naughty, you mommy needs some energy as well,” he whispered softly caressing Yukiya’s tummy.

Yukiya glanced up at him, biting her lips in pain. Her body shivered, felling the pain from her spine. “ki~….Fujun*.. it hurts….” She cried, hugging his sturdy arms.

“Wifey, I will make the pain go away,’ Long Ki desperately held her close. He really wanted to take her out and rush to a healer but her lover was inn partial fish from and could not breathe out of water. Taking a deep breath, he placed one of his hands on her back and one on her baby bump and slowly injected his glowing red spiritual energy.

Unlike the other time the little egg did not steal all the energy instead it spun around and send a lot of Ki’s energy towards its mother’s dantian. After doing so, it jumped around and played with the red dragon’s silk like spiritual energy.

Yukiya screamed once more. “AAhhhh, the baby is moving too much….” She cried, throwing her head back in pain.

With a guilty look, he pulled back his energy sting that was with his egg. The little egg paused and followed behind his energy. “Little one, don’t give your mom trouble.” he whispered sternly.

The little bump went still. Yukiya’s pain also faded. She felt her bulging tummy. Her heart stopped for a millisecond. “Why did the child stop? Is he having problems? Oh god, Ki, what to do?” she cried anxiously glancing back at him.

Long ki’ mentally slapped himself. ‘How could I reprimand his little child even before the child was even born? Oh god I’m such a bad parent,’ he leaned closer to her still bump and caressed it lovingly. “My lovely child, it’s time to come out. Don’t be angry with daddy. Please come out then we can play till your heart’s content,” he said anxiously.

The little bump moved so that it caressed his hands. Slowly Yukiya’s little tail twitched. the opening widened. The little red layer peeked out hesitantly.

Feeling this Yukiya too softly urged her child. “Little baby, come out and meet mommy and daddy,” she said lovingly.

Feeling the love in her voice, the little egg reluctantly rolled around inside of her.

Closing her eyes, Yukiya pushed hard. Gasping, she breathed hard. The little egg was peeking out but was reluctant to come out. Even though the pain was nonexistent, she still feared the safety of her child so she pushed again. “Little angel, if you come out you can play all you want I won’t let your dad scold you,” she said pushing again. All of a sudden, the egg rolled out. Gasping, Yukiya closed her eyes in exhaustion. The bump went away as if it did not exist at all, and her opening was closed by her scales.

“Our child is finally out!” A healthy little red bean was born. The egg’s layer was soft and transparent with a red core in the middle. It was still in underdeveloped.

“Our child!” Long Ki exclaimed cheerfully. His eyes filled with tears as he watched the little red bean. He carefully held the delicate littel egg in his palm. But the egg had a great grievance. It rolled out and plopped back in the water. It softly nudged his mother’s tail and hid under.

“Yukiya, I think I’m being hated!” he cried hugging her. Tears rolled down his face as he watched the little bean roll away from him.

Yukiya sighed tiredly. She softly nudged the little thing closer and hugged her egg to her bosom. The egg jubilantly jumped and wiggled around like a little puppy. “Little child, this is your father, Long Ki,” she pointed to the dragon crying on her shoulders.

The egg stopped wiggling and turned around, showing him its rear.

“Baby….our child hates me!! I’m a bad father!” Long Ki cried even louder.

Unable to handle two children at a time, Yukiya sighed louder. She cupped her lover’s face and pulled him closer. Seeing eye to eye she said, “don’t cry… the child is still young, why don’t you coax him?”

“Coax him? How?” Long Ki sniffed softly with tears still rolling down his cheeks.

“Umm, you promised to play with him right… why don’t you try that?” Yukiya said softly, nudging her little egg. The egg rolled over and showing only half of its red core.

Long Ki nodded rapidly. “yes, yes, little child let’s play. You like playing with daddy right?” he whispered softly.

The little egg reluctantly turned over and faced him. It jumped, gesturing for him to get close.

Long Ki obediently moved closer, holding his cupped palm out. The egg jumped in his hands and softly nuzzled against him. “Aww, my little cutie. I love you so much,” he whispered, nuzzling with it.

Yukiya watched the father—child display with a small smile on her face. ‘Never in thousand years did I expect to have a family. But I was first gifted with Little xia now with a loving husband and little red bean. I feel so lucky. They don’t say Koi’s are lucky for no reason ah,’ she thought leaning tiredly against the crystal tub.

“Yuki, you should sleep, but will you be comfortable in this tub?” long Ki whispered worriedly. He glanced out the window at the shield holding the river water. ‘It is too risky out there. I can’t risk my wife and child. But I don’t want to raise my chill in a bathroom,’ Long ki bit his fingertips deep in thought.

The little egg sensed his thoughts. It jumped out of hands, rolled away swiftly.

“Little child, where are you going its dangerous!!” Long Ki shouted and ran after it. For an egg, it was surprisingly fast. It passed through the threshold of the bathroom out into the bedroom. “Yukiya, tell the child. It’s very dangerous,” he shouted out loud.

“It’s okay. Fish eggs are very strong. The child won’t break. He only needs to occasionally take baths. Make sure he remains moist. Oh, and keep him away from sharp things,” Yukiya shouted from the bathroom.

Following his naughty child around, Long Ki was busy remembering Yukiya’s instructions. “Keep him moist, keep him away from sharp thing”

He took his eyes away for a just a second. The naughty little egg somehow rolled closer to a small statue holding a sharp iron sword.

Long ki eyesight focused on the little red egg. It was continuously knocking on the statue holding the iron sword. All of a sudden the sword broke away from the statue’s grip and fell down towards his little child. “AHHH little red….” He shouted and rushed over.

Right before the sword could even touch his child, Long Ki dived and hugged his child under him. The heavy sword fell right above him with a bang. Expressionlessly, he tossed it to the side.

The little egg saw this and cheered out loud from under him.

Panting softly, Long Ki picked him up and hugged the little egg to his chest. Residual fear still lingered in his heart. if he had been a step later his child would have been badly hurt. Hugging him firmly he nuzzled against the little red egg. “Little child, you should not touch sharp things.” He whispered. The little egg nudged his face and wiggled.

“What happened?!!” Yukiya’s panicked voice came from the bathroom.

“N—Nothing wifey…..our child is being naughty and jumped off the bed,” he lied wiping his sweaty brows. The little egg cheerfully jumped in his hands. “you…you should not lie, like daddy…” The egg moved up and down like it was nodding its head. “Good that you understand. Lying is baby little red.” Long Ki reminded again.

The egg nuzzled again and jumped up and down.

“What is it, little red? Do you want to go somewhere?” Long Ki whispered curiously. His little child was acting very weirdly as it kept jumping towards the statue.

Hearing their conversation, Yukiya shouted from inside. “Take him anywhere he wants, don’t make him cry”

Long Ki glanced down at the little red egg. “Can you even cry, little son? Forget it. I’ll take you where you want, but you have to be good. Okay?”

The little egg happily jumped from his shoulder onto the statue’s shoulders. Behind the clay man’s head was a little red jewel. The egg banged on it lightly, starting up an ancient enchantment. The mossy wall creaked out loud and opened into another crystal hallway.
