Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

“Of course, I have superior spiritual power, and her spiritual power is higher than mine, so isn’t she super superior?” Facing the lynx shaman, Hua Niang was obviously very well-behaved, even restraining her habitual waist twisting.

Xixi tilted her head, looking at the two of them with a mixture of understanding and confusion, and seriously considered what they were saying.

She originally thought that superior spiritual power, like superior fertility, had a clear level, but now it seems that this is not the case!

They all tested each other with their own spiritual power. The so-called superior spiritual power refers to spiritual power that surpasses the superior spiritual power of the Flower Maiden!

As for how much more, whether it's a tiny bit or a lot, we don't know.

This world is really simple and brutal!

As Xixi made this assessment, the lynx shaman spoke again: "You're pregnant, did you know that?"

Xixi: "..." So direct? I was still wondering how to explain it to Hua Niang!

Xixi's eyes widened, her lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

To Hua Niang, this appearance meant she knew absolutely nothing! She might not even know who the child's father was!

"Seven days ago, the Shuoshu tribe held a collective coming-of-age ceremony. All the new females this year had their fertility tested on that day, and you were no exception! Based on the pregnancy prediction, the timing should have been around the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, with an error of no more than one day! Just now, I contacted the Shuoshu witch chief to ask about your test results that day. Do you know what she said?"

The lynx chieftain's words were very direct, hitting the nail on the head with every sentence. Xixi felt her heart clench and pound, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Her eyes were red, tears welled up but she didn't fall, and she trembled slightly. In Hua Niang's eyes, it was as if she had suffered a great injustice but dared not speak out!

She slammed her hand on the stone table. “The Giant Rat Tribe has such audacity! They dare to send a female with superior fertility into a public burrow, and even send her to the front night so that the rat beastmen can get there first, just to exploit a loophole in the rules. Is she really that confident that she can gamble right? What if Xixi doesn’t get pregnant? What if this pregnancy ends in miscarriage? In that case, wouldn’t such an excellent female become an abandoned pawn, completely left behind here?”

Xi Xi's eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open, her expression of shock evident.

She had considered all sorts of reactions from Hua Niang—anger, disappointment, or disgust—but she never expected her to react with such righteous indignation! And all for her sake!

At this moment, she was really curious about what the Rat Chief had said that would cause Hua Niang to have such a misunderstanding, that she was a superior fertility woman, and that she was a pawn in the battle between the Rat Tribe and the War Alliance, and between the public female cave!

However, this misunderstanding came at just the right time, so she didn't clarify it, but just kept wiping away her tears, putting on a very convincing act.

“My dear sister, please don’t cry. Even if you don’t think about your own health, you have to think about the baby in your belly! You’re already having trouble conceiving, and if your emotions keep fluctuating like this, I’m really afraid something might happen to you!” Hua Niang comforted Xi Xi by patting her hand.

"You don't blame me?" Xixi asked nervously, instinctively clutching the fur covering her body.

Hua Niang patted her hand again and smiled, "How could I blame you for this? If you weren't forced to come here, who would come here willingly? Since you were forced to come, what's wrong with keeping some secrets as long as it doesn't harm others?"

For a moment, Xixi even thought that Hua Niang might have guessed the truth of the matter, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

The events that occurred the night before she came to the female cave were something that the Rat Witch Chief would never reveal on her own initiative, for the sake of her granddaughter's reputation and, more importantly, her own!

Since it didn't happen the night before, it must have happened during the day. But if she were to reveal what she had made up during the day, then with the current evidence of her pregnancy, the child's father should be that mysterious person from the Central Continent, not some beastmen arranged by the Giant Rat Witch Chief!

Therefore, she guessed that the Great Rat Witch Chief probably didn't say anything, or he made up an excuse to evade the question.

In short, this crucial information has not been leaked to this day!

As for the new female rats who came with the same batch, Xixi didn't care at all. After all, they had been sent away long ago, and they had no idea what would happen afterward!

"How is the baby... how is the baby?" Even with Yuanmeng's so-called warm reminder, she was still very worried about the fetus in her womb, because her condition today was too abnormal!

Even using modern medical knowledge, at the beginning of a confirmed pregnancy, the most one might experience is nausea and vomiting; there would be no lower abdominal distension, dizziness, or shivering all over the body!

She was all too familiar with this feeling. In her past life, she had to go through this once a month after puberty. Each time, the pain would last for three days, making her tremble all over, sweat profusely, and she would even have to take painkillers!

After starting work, thanks to a free clinic of traditional Chinese medicine, she received acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment for more than half a year, which made her much better. She never expected to feel this pain again here!

For a fleeting moment, she even wondered if she had already miscarried!

"The child is healthy! But you..." The lynx shaman hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Your body is too weak; I'm afraid you won't be able to support this pregnancy!"

Xixi: "???" What does "cannot supply" mean? Does it mean the child may still die, or that she will die from supplying the fetus?

"Please rest assured, Chief Witch, leave this pregnancy to me. I will definitely ensure the child is born safely!" Hua Niang made her promise before Xi Xi could ask any questions, and then gave Xi Xi a reassuring look, indicating that she believed in her.

"You guarantee it? What makes you so sure? Do you know how to deliver babies, or have you given birth yourself?" The lynx shaman's words were merciless, directly exposing the flower maiden's most vulnerable scars, naked and bloody.

Hua Niang's face turned pale instantly, she swayed, took a half step back, and almost lost her balance.

Xi Xi frowned, instinctively grasped the other person's hand, and blurted out, "I believe you!"

Hua Niang felt relieved by Xi Xi's concern, but still shook her head slightly. She then looked at the lynx shaman and asked earnestly, "Does the shaman have any ideas?"

"The Shuoshu tribe has committed such a heinous crime that it is naturally impossible for them to return. It would be better to entrust them to the care of my Lynx tribe. Once the child is born, the formal procedures for leaving the cave can be carried out!" The words of the Lynx shaman not only stunned Xixi, but also shocked Hua Niang.

Almost instinctively, she refused outright, "No way!"

As soon as she said it, she realized her mistake, but she had no choice but to explain, "The clan has its rules, and the cave has its rules. Only after giving birth to a child safely can one leave the female cave!"
