The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 87 Love Trap
Yu Qing looked at the girl, unsure what to say. Her intentions were too obvious.

After a long pause, Yu Qing said in a low voice, "But I am not a winged person."

"If you can become a winged human, then you can return to the state of the first generation of winged humans."

"I never agreed to become a winged person. Confess honestly, were you deliberately tempting me just for this reason?"

"That's not true at all. I'll tell you a secret, but you have to promise me you'll never tell anyone else, not even that silly girl or your humanoid girls."

"I swear on a stone from a stinking ditch, I will never tell."

The girl punched Yu Qing and scolded, "What kind of oath is this? You're just trying to fool me."

"You want to swear a solemn oath, huh? Fine, I'll swear: I will tell anyone that both the speaker and the listener will die. Is that okay?"

The girl whispered to him, "Actually, it's not that we Winged Clan women can't have children, it's that the Winged Clan men have all degenerated into neither male nor female, and can't provide...seeds..."

Yu Qing kissed the girl deeply and said, "This... I'll provide it to you!"

The girl shook her head and said, "Yours is useless. Our genes are too different, there is reproductive isolation, understand?"

Before Yu Qing could reply, the girl suddenly grabbed him in terror and ran outside, spreading her wings as she ran, almost knocking him over.

"Hold me tight. I have to fly."

Unaware of the reason, Yu Qing immediately grabbed the maid's neck. The maid was sent flying diagonally.

"What happened? You look so scared," Yu Qing teased. "Did someone find out you were having an affair with a boy from another tribe?"

"No way, who would be so bored? There was a snake in front of us just now!"

"A snake? I didn't see one. How big was it?"

"It's at least forty or fifty centimeters long!"

Upon hearing that such a small snake had frightened her so much, Yu Qing laughed and said, "You're this scared of fifty centimeters?"

"Is a snake scary because of its size? How venomous it is is the most important thing."

“That makes sense. I’m just a big guy, but when it comes to flying, I’m not even as good as a wild duck. It’s a girl like you who can fly, that’s a phoenix.”

"You have such a sweet tongue, you must have charmed many women!"

Yu Qing sighed, "Who am I supposed to fool? Up until now, it's just the two of us. You've seen Dangui before, and I'm already lucky I haven't banged my head against the wall. How could I possibly be in the mood to fool her?"

"That's true, your situation is indeed more precarious than ours... Wait, are you saying this to try and kidnap me?"

"We're both in a calculated move. If you don't come with me, I really have to leave. And if it goes on for too long, I really won't want to leave."

"My plan is also open and aboveboard; I would be more than happy if you didn't leave."

At this moment, Yu Qing felt that the girl was flying further and further away from the city, and he felt a strange sense of panic.

"Where are we going? Aren't we going back to the restaurant?"

The girl laughed and said, "Go back to the restaurant? Let me tell you, you've been kidnapped."

Yu Qing said, "I really don't believe it."

The girl said, "I was just kidding. You'll find out where we're going in a bit. Back in the city, we won't have any quiet private space of our own. You know the customs of Jinchengzi."

Since they were already there, Yu Qing decided to make the best of it and said nothing more. Before long, they flew to the edge of a large river. There, nestled against the mountainside and beside the water, were several hundred two-story houses.

The girl landed in front of a house, pressed something, and instantly a blue flag appeared on the flagpole in the yard. It turned out this was Jin Chengzi's Lover's House. As long as the blue flag flew on the flagpole, no one would bother you for a hundred years. But Yu Qing discovered that in this large area, only about thirty or forty houses had blue flags flying.

The house is equipped with two cylindrical service robots. They weren't designed to be humanoid or similar, so as not to overshadow humans.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them clung to each other. After the storm, the girl stared blankly at Yu Qing and said, "Do you know what this means?"

"We've gone a little crazy."

The girl said, "It means I can never go back to Jinchengzi."

Yu Qing was somewhat surprised: "Why is this happening?"

"Coming here means declaring to everyone that I am trying to conceive for Jin Chengzi. Since I haven't had any children, I can't go back."

Oh no! She's completely won him over with her gentle touch. Yu Qing sighed, "You know perfectly well that we can't have children."

The girl saw through his thoughts and said, "Don't be nervous. I can't go back, but I will take you back. To be honest, your responsibilities are greater and more difficult than mine. I just want to spend an unforgettable night with you."

Yu Qing felt somewhat ashamed. He could tell that the girl was just beginning to experience love, while he had already become indifferent to such things.

Under the soft light, the more he looked at the girl, the more captivating she seemed. Perhaps growing old together with her here wouldn't be a bad choice.

He gently stroked the girl's hair and said, "The title 'girl' is too vulgar and doesn't suit you at all. I'll change your title to 'Mi Fei,' how about that?"

"Then let's call her Consort Mi. Doesn't it feel like a title the emperor bestowed upon his woman? Should I say thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty?"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "You should say, 'This servant thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness.'"

Mi Fei slapped Yu Qing: "You're still trying to climb up the pole... I want to go for a walk by the river."

Yu Qing took her hand and said, "Okay! You carried me here, now it's my turn to carry you."

Mi Fei immediately clung to Yu Qing's back. Yu Qing carried her for half a mile until they reached the riverbank. The moonlight shone on the water, shimmering brilliantly.

As Yu Qing walked and swayed, he recounted to her the many hardships he had endured along the way. Mi Fei rested her chin on his shoulder, staring intently at his incessantly talking mouth, as if several fierce and arrogant generals were about to emerge from it.

Suddenly, Mi Fei began to sob softly. Yu Qing quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Mi Fei said, "Thinking about this time next year, I will no longer be able to lean on such broad shoulders."

Yu Qing comforted him, "I'll come back to you after I've finished taking care of things!"

He knew it was a promise that might never be kept. But Mi Fei was still very happy to hear it, and pulled his ear, saying, "If you dare to lie to me, I'll cut it off."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "If I don't come back, what will you do to cut off my ear?"

"Pah, pah, pah, I'll definitely come back."

At this moment, Yu Qing's spirit necklace flashed incessantly; Chang'e and the others were waiting for his reply. It was a signal for him to return.

Mi Fei grabbed the collar and said, "They are not allowed to disturb us tonight."

Yu Qing turned it off and said, "Even if the sky falls tonight, we won't care."

Mi Fei instructed the robot waiter following her to go back and fetch a mattress and some food and wine. She wanted Yu Qing to accompany her to watch the stars.

She murmured to herself, "How wonderful they would be, with so many endless days."
