Chapter 57 The Feng Family
“Hahaha,” Ma Qi burst into laughter, “Background? The entire Ma family was brutally murdered, the entire Feng family was imprisoned, and you’re still spouting nonsense at me here. It’s really hilarious.”
Old Master Feng was so angry that he clenched his gold teeth together. "Your grandfather was so naive back then that he was expelled from the Ma family. I hate that I took pity on you that day and left this lineage to suffer."
The Feng and Ma families are like yin and yang, protecting each other for generations. How could you ignorant brats understand? We rack our brains to ensure the prosperity of both families for generations. And you? You start howling and screaming at the slightest bit of bloodshed!
You all know absolutely nothing! Let me tell you! The Feng family won't be finished just like that. No matter how big the situation, it's just a matter of a brave man cutting off his arm or a lizard shedding its tail. You have no idea who our two families are backed by!
Upon hearing this, Ma Qi's smile gradually faded.
Old Master Feng continued, "The Ma family can die, and the Feng family can die, but our bloodline will never be severed by this trivial matter. I will let you live and see. I will get out, taking the surviving members of the Feng family with me."
In just over a decade, the women of the Feng family could create another Feng family and another Ma family through their wombs; it's nothing at all.
Old Master Feng's expression gradually became intoxicated, and his anger from before was greatly relieved by his words.
"Do you think we haven't suffered purges like this a few times in the past hundred years? When have we ever truly been completely destroyed? I will keep you alive, and when you think everything is over, I will appear behind you! Destroy everything around you! Let you live a miserable life alone forever!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Qi's expression gradually turned grim. Ma Qi thought that the Feng and Ma families were doomed this time, but he had been naive.
"Yes, that's the expression." Old Ancestor Feng looked at Ma Qi, a smug smirk on his face. "So self-righteous, what are you? I'm right here, come and kill me if you dare! Even if you die, even if your children die, I won't die!"
Ma Qi gently stroked his belly and moved closer to Old Master Feng. The short old man was about the same height as Ma Qi, who was sitting on the ground.
Ma Qi looked at Old Master Feng, with his disheveled hair, dull and lifeless eyes, and wrinkled hands that were once stained with blood. How could such an old man still be alive?
"Old man, you're the one who's so self-righteous. Backing? Resources? All of that is utterly insignificant in the face of a higher being."
Only then did Old Master Feng get a clear look at Ma Qi's belly.
"What's wrong with you, kid? No, are you a girl? Impossible, what's wrong with your stomach?"
Faced with a strange sight he had never encountered in his hundred-year life, Old Master Feng felt fear for the first time.
"Just to see blood? Hmph." Ma Qi approached Old Ancestor Feng with a cold smile. "When you actually see the mountains of corpses and seas of blood your two families have created over the years, will you still think that way?"
"No, no, don't come any closer." Old Master Feng wanted to get away from the railing and from Ma Qi who was approaching, but an inexplicable fear made his legs move against him.
Old Ancestor Feng has lived for a very long time, and she possesses a terrifying aura built from countless lives. Ordinary people are suppressed by her aura.
But this aura seemed to be restrained by Ma Qi, or more precisely, suppressed by his protruding belly.
"Greetings, Ancestor Feng." A respectful voice rang out from the doorway of Ancestor Feng, breaking the tense atmosphere inside.
Old Master Feng looked in that direction as if grasping at a straw.
A jailer bowed respectfully to her: "Grandma, we say you've been suffering in prison. We've prepared a table of fine food and wine for you. Please come over and have a drink to calm your nerves."
"Hahaha, hahaha," Old Master Feng was no longer afraid upon hearing this and burst into wild laughter, "Young Ma, you see? I'm going out."
Ma Qi gripped the wooden bars tightly and roared at the jailer, "Higher up? Who's higher up! Registrar? County Magistrate? Or County Magistrate? You better explain yourself! The Feng family has committed such a heinous crime, who would still want to save them! Who would dare to save her?"
The jailer slammed his iron bar down on Ma Qi's outstretched fingers, and with a scream, Ma Qi pulled his hands back.
"Officer Ma, you're already inside, so drink less. What are you talking about? Is this something you can ask? Take care of your own life."
Ma Qi rolled to the ground, clutching his stomach and muttering to himself.
“I used to think that if Grandpa hadn’t made a mistake and been expelled from the Ma family, I would have been a son of a concubine with a family background, and I would have been qualified to propose to Sister Mu.”
Ma Qi got up and glared fiercely at the two men already standing outside the cell door.
"Looking back now, Grandpa wasn't wrong. The ones who were wrong were you bastards."
Old Master Feng stood with his hands behind his back and said to the jailer, "I have something to trouble you with, sir. This kid is a bit strange. Look at his belly; he might be possessed. It would be better to kill him inside as soon as possible."
The jailer said with a fawning smile, "Your Excellency, it's not that I don't listen to you. It's just that I can't make the decision on this matter. You should talk to the higher-ups. As long as they approve, it's as easy as crushing an ant with a finger."
Old Master Feng smiled knowingly, "Yes, it's because I'm old and useless, and my mind is muddled."
As Ma Qi watched the two laughing and joking, his expression grew increasingly pained, and his stomach visibly swelled. Cold sweat poured down his face.
"Not yet, child. Don't let them influence you. Wait for your mother. No, listen to me, wait a little longer."
Maqi clutched his stomach and cried out in pain. His stomach was swollen like a balloon, and his body was visibly thinning.
A mournful cry rang out, and everyone in the prison felt a chill run down their spines.
"No, we can't wait any longer. Kill him now, and I'll take responsibility for anything that happens," Old Master Feng said frantically to the jailer beside him.
The latter ignored him, swayed, and slowly knelt down.
When he knelt down completely, Old Master Feng saw that blood was flowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nostrils, and he had died silently.
Old Master Feng looked back in horror. Ma Qi's stomach had reached its limit, and inside it was like boiling blood soup churning.
Ma Qi mustered his strength and said, "No, wait a little longer!"
Bang!
An explosion rang out in the cell. Ma Qi's stomach, like a water balloon swollen to its limit, burst open, and blood and bits of flesh covered the entire cell.
A tiny figure staggered up from the blood.
His head was Machi's heart, with the four orifices of the heart twisted into his eyes, nose, and mouth.
The pitch-black eye socket resembled a chaotic, lightless black hole.
Ma Qi was still alive, and reached out to gently stroke the 'child' in front of him.
“Good, so beautiful, this is true life. The product of a great union, my child. You are so beautiful, no worldly words can adequately describe your perfection. Go, don’t let that old hag get away.”
Before Ma Qi gave birth, Old Lady Feng had already run away. Despite her advanced age, she possessed unparalleled strength, and she ran swiftly between the prison cells with her short legs.
"We shouldn't have been exposed in a place like this, but we can't worry about that now."
Old Master Feng bit her finger hard, and a thin line of blood stuck to her hand like a whip.
With a flick of her finger, a line of blood fell onto the lock of a prison door, instantly corroding it in two and causing it to fall to the ground.
One by one, members of the Feng family walked out of prison.
"Go! All you Fengs, get to the front! Tonight is the night of life and death for the Feng family! Go! Use all the tricks you've been hiding to kill that monster behind us!"
