Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Following Tuntun, Yunyao City finally witnessed a surge in Holy Females.

On that day alone, three more holy maidens were added. After that, there were two to three every day for a week before things finally quieted down again.

Including Han Sui and Xi Xi, a total of eighteen Holy Maidens were born in the Year of the Thousand Selections, far more than any previous year. And people finally arrived in the long-dormant Central Continent.

On the same day that the people from the Central Continent arrived, Sikong Hongyu and his group finally returned from the forest.

"Why did it take so long?" Xixi asked, puzzled. She had thought that with the strength of her beast husbands, they could make a round trip in a day, and even if there was a delay, it would not exceed three days.

"When she came looking for us, Iris was in a hurry, but once we left the city, she was in no hurry at all. She walked slowly all the way. We urged her a few times, but she always had various excuses to put it off. On the third day, we heard the roar of monsters and the wails of beastmen not far away. Iris stopped and did not move forward, but insisted that Han Sui and his party were ahead."

"Originally, we wanted to confirm, but seeing how certain she was, we took a precaution and didn't offer to go check. Unexpectedly, she became anxious, urging us why we didn't go, saying that if Han Sui escaped, he would definitely come back, and then it would be difficult to deal with him, and so on."

"After several rounds of negotiation, Iris finally compromised, but she only sent a few beastmen to lead us there, while she waited behind them."

“Yinyou was cunning. He used an illusion to make her believe that we had all left, while he stayed by Iris’s side.”

"We saw Han Sui and her party trapped by a horde of monsters, but the beastmen around her were indeed incredibly brave, managing to fight their way out. Brother Junsong intervened in time, using the power of thunder to completely sever their life force. Han Sui is dead!"

"But it was precisely because of this intervention that we unexpectedly discovered that Brother Junsong had been poisoned. The poison came from a scorpion, and there was no antidote!"

Xixi's pupils contracted slightly as she looked abruptly at Junsong, only to find that his complexion was rosy and his demeanor natural, not like someone who had been poisoned. This put her at ease.

"Don't worry, my lady. Fortunately, my third brother saved them by bleeding them in time, which is why Jun Song and his brother were spared! Afterwards, we discovered that not only Jun Song and his brother, but I was also poisoned by this venom. However, because I did not take action, the venom did not take effect immediately!" Yun Xi is a king cobra, not only a snake king but also a venom king. In front of the venom king, scorpion venom is nothing.

In fact, even without Yunxi's antidote, Junsong could withstand the attack with his combat strength, but it would be much more troublesome, especially in such a dangerous forest with a large group of bloodthirsty monsters nearby, making the situation extremely dangerous.

Everyone immediately understood that this was Iris's killing move. First, she used the herring veil, and then she used scorpion venom. It was a two-pronged attack that would surely kill anyone else. But she happened to be facing the beastmen of Xixi. These people were all incredibly powerful and could not be judged by ordinary standards.

After confirming Han Sui's death, the group also threw Bai Qianqian, the mantis, down with him. Poor Bai Qianqian had just returned to human form when the monster bit off her neck, killing her instantly.

The Iris Beastmen, who had witnessed everything, frantically tried to escape, but unfortunately, they had no chance. A gust of wind blew by, and they all fell down, collapsing into the pile of monsters.

Afterwards, following the marks left by Yin You, the group successfully found Iris.

While helping Yin You detoxify, Iris ultimately reaped the consequences of her own actions. Before dying, Yun Xi told her with disgust, "You thought Xi Xi was your mortal enemy, but in reality, you're not even worthy to carry her shoes! She had long since given up the idea of ​​killing. Neither you nor Han Sui made a move after entering Yun Yao City. On the contrary, you came looking for me time and time again. I don't know if you're tired of living or if you think our Xi Xi is particularly easy to fool. It's all because of your clumsy acting skills. They're really an eyesore. Acting with you is torture!"

Iris opened her mouth as if to refute something, but a gust of wind blew by, and she stared intently at the azure sky, unable to close her eyes any longer.

"This...this will only take three or four days..." Xixi counted on her fingers, estimating that it would take half a month to get back.

"We were originally planning to return immediately, but on the way back, we overheard many orcs discussing the newly issued bounty mission in Yunyao City. We immediately realized that it must have been issued by you, Xixi, in order to find those three rare treasures!" Sikong Hongyu carefully examined Xixi, confirming that she wasn't in a hurry, before saying somewhat apologetically:

"We thought this time was just as urgent as last time! So we didn't have time to come back and report, and we immediately turned around and searched for more than ten days before we finally gathered all three rare treasures together. Then we rushed back without stopping!"

As they were talking, Sikong Hongyu took out three items, which were the three things that Xixi had specified regarding the appearance, color, growth habits, geographical location, and guardian beast. They were also the three things necessary for nurturing the Kunpeng baby!

So, after all the twists and turns, the bounty mission was ultimately completed by one of their own people. For a moment, Xixi didn't know how to react, but she was secretly delighted.

"Xixi, is your hunger flaring up again? Why don't we eat all of these? There's also the Netherworld Spirit Fruit that your brother picked for you last time, we haven't eaten it yet!" Yunxi asked with concern. Xixi was pregnant with his child. When Xixi came back last time, she said that there happened to be a Netherworld Sacred Fruit in Yinyou, which had the same effect as the Netherworld Spirit Fruit, but was even better. After she took it, she was no longer hungry.

"No need. Actually, the reason I'm hungry is because the baby in my belly needs it. The Netherworld Sacred Fruit from last time was enough for the baby's growth and development!" Xixi stroked her belly, which showed no signs of hunger.

The others felt somewhat relieved, but Kunhai remained shocked, asking, "You...you're pregnant?"

In fact, Master Qian had told him that Xixi was pregnant, but at the time he was just curious about Xixi, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, since moving into the city lord's mansion more than half a month ago, they have been intimate every night, and he has not noticed any signs of his wife's pregnancy. Pregnancy should involve a pregnant belly, and even in early pregnancy without a pregnant belly, there should be nausea and vomiting. But Xixi has no reaction at all, and her energy is particularly strong. She doesn't look like a pregnant woman at all!

"Yes, didn't I tell you? Oh, I forgot. It's been almost two months, and I should give birth in another two weeks."

Rats have a short gestation period, unlike the Kunpeng which has a three-year gestation period. But if you convert the time, it's equivalent to the Kunpeng being pregnant for more than two years, and their bellies are frighteningly large!
