Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 348 - 344: Becoming a National Treasure-Level Figure

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.

If it weren’t for Xie Jingchen coming back every night to sleep at home recently, Zhou Xiuhua would have prepared to go upstairs to accompany her to sleep herself.

As for looking after Xie Jingzi? Ha, her own daughter, she didn’t yet know, that once asleep, was even lazier than Xiaoqi.

Recently, life has been satisfactory, whether it’s Xie Tiesheng or Zhou Xiuhua, following Zhang Shanni’s nourishment, they all had a healthy glow on their faces, and even Xiao Si and Xiaoqi suddenly grew much taller, and the little aunt started developing again...

When Zhang Shanni noticed, she even pinched privately and praised, "Not bad."

It embarrassed Xie Jingzi so much that she became petrified... At that moment, she fiercely remembered that shameless old man who also seriously said ’Not bad’!

This definitely attracted some attention, and for several days, Xie Jingzi felt too ashamed to face Zhang Shanni in private.

The closer she got to Third Sister-in-law, the more Xie Jingzi discovered that her goddess Third Sister-in-law was just like the mischievous girl-next-door... making you helplessly laugh and cry.

Zhang Shanni felt some contempt inside, if it weren’t for seeing her feeling gloomy these past few days, would she demean herself to tease her like this... making it seem like she had no chest.

Watching Xie Jingzi grow again, Zhang Shanni herself was also growing, her height suddenly shot up to 169 cm, now she wouldn’t look too short walking beside her husband... although, she was still short.

But having grown taller, Zhang Shanni was delighted.

However, her happiness didn’t last long, as she discovered that the little aunt’s body was also growing rapidly. Because they were both growing taller at the same time, when Zhang Shanni suddenly realized she had grown a few centimeters, while feeling stifled, she found that the little aunt was growing even faster!

It seemed like she was going to be taller than herself... [Hey, she was originally taller than you, shorty!]

Zhang Shanni felt that these two months of pregnancy were quite pleasant, every day was joy-filled, and occasionally she received little gifts from the Yan Family from the capital, mostly wooden toys hand-made by Yan Jinsi himself.

Whether it’s little swords, little knives, or slingshots, from time to time, he would carve flowers, little figures, and so on. Although the craftsmanship was rough, it was overall smooth, clearly he was not skilled but was very meticulous.

Every time she received her younger brother’s gifts, Zhang Shanni felt in quite a good mood, even the aversion Qi Chunlan had placed upon her started to fade as the fetus in her belly grew.

Some hatred, if it could fade, was always better than holding on to it, allowing one to feel more relaxed.

Just like with Qi Chunlan, at first, Zhang Shanni truly hated her, after all, for someone who dared to harm her unborn child, Zhang Shanni really wanted to tear her apart with her own hands!

Although she didn’t personally do it in the end, she did play some tricks, she indeed had her revenge.

Qi Chunlan’s half month of insomnia, along with the psychological suggestion of ’retribution’, was enough to greatly harm her.

Yes, Qi Chunlan suffering those pains, Zhang Shanni knew it all, the skin disease was secretly caused by her, and the psychological suggestion too.

Knowing that she had tortured her to nearly half dead, Zhang Shanni felt a sense of relief. Considering she was the biological mother of this body, Zhang Shanni compassionately decided to let her off for now.

As for the future, it depends on her behavior. If she continues to be stupid, Zhang Shanni wouldn’t mind explaining it with her own hands.

However, before Zhang Shanni could think of how to deal with Qi Chunlan, Qi Chunlan had an accident right before her eyes—
