Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey-Chapter 108 - : The Ancestor at Age 18

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Ancestor at Age 18

“Honey, I’m pregnant!”

The joy was palpable in the woman’s voice across from him.

“I can’t believe it—I can actually have a child, honey!”

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

Song Taishan tensed up at the words.

People nearby also widened their eyes in shock.

“Wow, looks like that young girl was right!”

“Boss, congratulations!”

Everyone looked at Song Taishan with joy.

Song Taishan was now in his forties, and years ago, his wife had been pregnant. But she had been kidnapped in an act of malicious revenge. Though they managed to rescue her, they lost the child.

His wife also suffered injuries to her body.

And they hadn’t had another child since then.

Almost all of his colleagues knew about this, so they dared not mention childbirth in the office, for fear of making Song Taishan feel sad.

Who would have thought that now, at their age, Song Taishan and his wife would have a child!

Wasn’t this a cause for great celebration?

After a moment of stiffness, Song Taishan too wore a look of happiness and said nervously, “Wife, I’ll come back right away, right away!”

The colleagues started to laugh teasingly.

…

Xia Xin, holding Shuaishuai in one arm and pulling Jiangli with the other, left the Criminal Investigation Department. After letting go of Jiangli’s hand, he wiped the sweat from his face and said helplessly, “Ancestor, can we not do something so dangerous in the future? This is a police station. Weren’t you afraid of being arrested for saying those things here?”

“I was doing it for their good; why would I be arrested? I didn’t do anything bad,” Jiangli replied, puzzled. “People from the Governor’s Office used to beg me for my help.”

Xia Xin gave a wry smile and said, “Ancestor, times have changed. This is modern society—it’s different from your time. The Governor’s Office nowadays strongly combats feudal superstition. Saying those things in the Governor’s Office could get you detained in a minute!”

Jiangli tilted her head slightly, “Detained?”

“…It means being arrested!” Xia Xin explained, somewhat exasperated.

Jiangli uttered an “Oh,” then pursed her lips: “Things are really complicated now; I don’t understand. Plus, there are many things that the Governor’s Office can’t handle. If they don’t let us intervene, how do you solve them?”

Well…

How could he know this?

Xia Xin took a deep breath, choosing to skip this topic. He forced a smile and said, “Ancestor, now is not the time to talk about this. Let’s go get your ID card so we can finish before they close for the day. Once that’s done, it’ll be much easier to get around.”

Jiangli seemed to realize that an ID card was quite important nowadays, nodded without saying anything further, and obediently went to get an ID card with Xia Xin.

However, it would take seven days for the ID card to be ready, which was already the fastest speed.

To facilitate its use, Xia Xin got Jiangli a temporary ID card, which solved the immediate problem.

As they walked out, Xia Xin handed the temporary ID card to Jiangli, “Use this until your official ID card is ready, Ancestor.”

Jiangli examined the small card, which had her photo and some basic information on it.

She glanced at the birth date and blinked. According to the information on the card, she was only… 18 this year?

“No way, how could the Taoist have calculated my age like this?” She looked at Xia Xin, baffled.

When she entered seclusion, she was indeed 18— that much was correct.

But she had been in seclusion for eight hundred years now—how could she still be this age?

Xia Xin heard this, silently led Jiangli to a reflective glass surface, and pointed at the glass.

Jiangli didn’t understand, “What is it?”

“Ancestor, take a look at the face that’s reflected there. Can you say it’s eight hundred years old?” Xia Xin said with a slight smile.

Jiangli: “…”

It seemed he had a point.
