Chapter 2092: Prenatal Education Class
With the Ghost King’s death, the Ghost Raising Family was completely erased from Xiangnan Province.
Xiao Zheng also stayed with everyone at the Yunchuan Branch for a big feast, and after they finished eating, he headed home a step ahead of the others.
By the time he returned to Zhonghai City, it was only just three in the afternoon.
Because Chu Xiaoran had gone to work, there was only Leng Ruobing at home.
Seeing the ever-elusive Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing didn’t show the slightest hint of surprise. It was as if he’d just gone to the convenience store at the estate entrance to buy a pack of cigarettes and come back. Her face always carried a gentle smile. "You’re back."
"Yeah, I’m back. The harvest this time wasn’t bad." Xiao Zheng came over to sit beside her and said with a smile.
Seeing him so happy, Leng Ruobing couldn’t help asking curiously, "Not bad? Don’t tell me you finally took care of the Ghost Raising Family and removed that hidden danger?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "That’s right. Even the Xiangnan Ghost King ended up dying in my hands. Although the final fight was pretty easy, the whole process was still a bit twisty."
"How could it not be twisty? Before and after, you spent almost over a month on this." Leng Ruobing said.
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng also felt quite helpless inside.
After all, he hadn’t expected that dealing with a Ghost Raising Family would actually take this long. But when he thought of the Ghost King and the Netherworld General he’d cultivated, Xiao Zheng still felt a lot of emotion.
"Huaxia really is a vast land full of hidden talents. You never know from where another powerhouse might pop up." Xiao Zheng said. "Guess what realm the Ghost King I killed today was in."
"Martial Saint Realm Peak?" Leng Ruobing asked tentatively.
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "He was way stronger than Martial Saint Realm Peak. At first, even I didn’t expect his cultivation to be at the Supreme Realm. And the ghosts he cultivated actually had Transcendent Realm combat strength."
Hearing him say that, Leng Ruobing was greatly shocked in her heart.
Having been with Xiao Zheng for so long, she knew very clearly what it meant for someone to be a Supreme Realm powerhouse. She also knew very well how terrifying Transcendent Realm combat power was.
Thinking of this, a doubt surfaced in Leng Ruobing’s heart. "But with the Ghost King being that strong, how come we’ve never heard of the Ghost Raising Family before?"
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng said, "That’s because they never act in the open, and the Ghost King went missing for two years. So it’s perfectly normal that we never heard of the Ghost Raising Family’s name."
"If the Ghost Raising Family had exposed themselves from the very beginning, that organization would never have survived until today."
What he said was indeed the truth.
The Ghost Raising Family was different from other powers. Instead of focusing on their own strength, they focused on cultivating ghosts—this in itself was something Heaven and Earth did not tolerate. Especially those orthodox great sects in the Martial Arts World, who loathed the ghost path to the bone.
If the Ghost Raising Family hadn’t lived in the shadows, they’d very likely have been wiped out by the orthodox great sects of the Martial Arts World joining forces, and it would never have been Xiao Zheng’s turn to make a move.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng still felt rather fortunate.
Luckily, the Ghost Raising Family hadn’t been exterminated by other forces, otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten those few pieces of Golden Bone stored by the Ghost Raising Family.
"Since it’s all over, you should take a good rest for a while." Leng Ruobing said with a smile. "You’ve been running around outside for so many days; it’s been hard on you."
"I’m fine. After all, you get rewarded when you put in the effort." Xiao Zheng touched the wooden box in his arms and said excitedly.
Right now he really wanted to go into seclusion and fuse these three pieces of Golden Bone.
Right at this moment, Leng Ruobing suddenly received a phone call.
The two of them didn’t talk for long, and after she hung up, she asked, "Xiao Zheng, are you free tonight? Do you want to come with me to a class?"
"Class? What class?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Hearing this, Leng Ruobing gently touched her belly, then said, "It’s a prenatal education class that Dr. Chen recommended."
As soon as it was something to do with the child, a holy maternal glow spread across her face.
"Sure, no problem at all." Xiao Zheng agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Anyway, he was going to be quite free for a long while; spending more time with Leng Ruobing was what he should do.
The two of them then sat in the living room and chatted intimately for a bit. Around five o’clock, they went out for dinner. After dinner, they headed to the place where the prenatal class was held.
And it had to be said, there were quite a lot of people here for the class, and they were all expectant parents.
Judging by age, though, Xiao Zheng and Leng Ruobing seemed to be the youngest pair of expectant parents there. By the time the class ended, it was already almost ten at night.
Through the whole class, Xiao Zheng felt like he hadn’t understood a thing, whereas Leng Ruobing listened with great interest.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Zheng asked, "Where are we going next? Want me to take you to experience some long-lost nightlife?"
Hearing this, Leng Ruobing shook her head and said, "Let’s not. Didn’t you hear what the instructor said? If a pregnant woman stays up late, it’ll have a bad impact on the baby’s development."
Hearing her words, Xiao Zheng wasn’t surprised at all.
He’d already guessed she would say that. After smiling, he said, "Then sit tight, we’re going home now."
After saying that, he started the car and drove toward home.
When they got home, it was already nine thirty at night.
Even though it was the dead of winter, Chu Xiaoran was still hugging a tub of Häagen-Dazs while watching a movie in the living room.
Xiao Zheng turned on the lights and couldn’t help asking curiously, "You’re home alone, why don’t you turn on the lights?"
Hearing his voice, Chu Xiaoran looked delighted. "Xiao Zheng, when did you get back? I didn’t turn on the lights because I’m watching a horror movie. If I watched it with the lights on, it’d totally ruin the mood!"
Only then did Xiao Zheng notice that the TV was playing a horror film.
Seeing the two of them come back together, Chu Xiaoran asked curiously, "Xiao Zheng, Cousin, where did you two go? Why are you back so late?"
"We just went to a prenatal education class..." After sitting down beside her, Leng Ruobing started chattering away about everything they’d learned in the prenatal class.
Even though Chu Xiaoran wasn’t pregnant, she listened with great interest and even stopped watching the movie.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help laughing.
Xiao Zheng didn’t bother them after that. After making himself a cup of coffee, he was about to head to the study. But before his coffee was even ready, he got a call from Mo Anna...
