Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

She didn't know which kind of liveliness she was referring to, but Xixi inexplicably felt that she was implying that she would take in many beast husbands. Thinking of this possibility, her face flushed red.

Nuannuan was still busy tidying up when she turned around and saw her friend blushing. She immediately felt worried. "Look at me, I've been so busy tidying up these things that I've neglected you, the pregnant woman!"

"Quick! Lie down, lie down, I need to take your pulse properly!" With that, she helped Xixi up and, under Xixi's helpless gaze, forcibly pressed her onto the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed and began to take her pulse carefully.

It must be said that although Nuan Nuan usually looks innocent and cute, she is quite professional when it comes to her medical skills.

Her small face was tense and expressionless, her eyes slightly narrowed. She examined her right hand, then her left, then her right, going through each hand in turn. After examining all of them, she frowned again, "Strange..."

"What's wrong?" Although the Dream Fulfillment cheat exists, it's been shut down for a while and is useless, so Xixi is a little nervous.

In particular, her recent craving for food has left her completely baffled. She was so excited when her dream of having her phone suddenly turn on, and she wanted to ask a question, but it only lasted for a second!

"Ha... don't be nervous, baby's fine!" Realizing that her reaction had frightened the other person, Nuan Nuan quickly adjusted her expression.

"Really, the baby is perfectly normal, very lively and active!" Afraid that Xixi wouldn't believe her, she added, but after saying that, she looked at Xixi tentatively, hesitated for a long time before speaking: "May I ask, how many babies did your mother have in one pregnancy when she gave birth to you?"

"What?" She's pregnant, how is that related to the original owner's mother?

She was increasingly confused. "Just tell me!"

"That's right, the baby in my belly is fine, but strangely, there's only one!" Nuan Nuan finally couldn't help but say it.

"Do you know the full name of our battle alliance? The Southern Continent Multi-Child Tribe Battle Alliance! Although it's called a battle alliance, the biggest commonality among our five tribes is multi-children! Although it's difficult for females to get pregnant, once they do, they can give birth to five or six offspring at a time, especially your Giant Rat tribe, where the most common litter is thirteen! Our Lynx tribe may be much less impressive, but our young females still give birth to no fewer than three offspring per litter!"

"It's extremely rare, almost unheard of, for someone like you to only have one child! That's why... I was so surprised!"

At this point, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as whether or not she had children was not in Xixi's best interest.

But she keeps nagging. If she upsets Xixi and it hurts the baby in her belly, then she'll be in big trouble!

"Um... I... I was just... saying it casually... Actually, getting pregnant less is quite good. The burden is not heavy, and it doesn't affect eating, living, or transportation. It's also easier to give birth... Hehe... It's pretty good." She tried her best to comfort the other person, and also to persuade herself.

Originally, Xixi didn't react much when she heard that she was only pregnant with one child. After all, it's perfectly normal for a human to have one child at a time. It would be strange if she had thirteen.

But when she said that being pregnant wouldn't affect her eating, sleeping, or traveling, her expression turned as if she were constipated. "Are you... are you sure?"

"Absolutely! The number of fetuses affects many things. First of all, there's the pregnancy reaction. Multiple pregnancies greatly increase the risk of hyperemesis gravidarum, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal!" Nuannuan explained.

“When I was eight years old, I saw an auntie suffer from severe morning sickness. From the moment she confirmed her pregnancy, she could no longer eat. She would vomit whatever she ate. My grandmother tried everything to stop her from vomiting. I heard that when she died, she was skin and bones and looked extremely pitiful!”

"Grandma wouldn't let me see it, saying it would give me nightmares!" she said, her voice filled with sorrow.

"Can't we abort the baby?" Xixi knew that severe morning sickness could cause ketoacidosis, which was extremely dangerous for both the pregnant woman and the fetus!

Even with the aid of various nutrient solutions in modern times, it is still impossible to completely overcome this disease. So let alone in this beast world where food and clothing are scarce, when it is impossible to guarantee the survival of both mother and child, shouldn't we prioritize the mother's survival?

“If the female dies, her mates will also be affected. Her underage cubs will be left all alone and pitiful!” she added.

"You think she didn't try? But the little ones were too stubborn, and she didn't succeed." Nuannuan sighed as she said this. "Fortunately, she only had five beast husbands in total, two of whom hadn't even had time to form the hand seals yet. However, although these two escaped death, they can only remain widows for life and cannot marry other females!"

"As for children, she doesn't have any yet, so this lineage ends with her." Nuannuan shook her head. The vast majority of females spend their entire lives pursuing the birth and raising of a new female to continue their bloodline.

Upon hearing the words "unsuccessful," Xixi fell silent. In an era where even a minor injury could be fatal, birth control methods must have been even more outdated.

Suddenly, Xixi felt a sense of relief. Thanks to the Dream Fulfillment System, she didn't suffer these hardships when it came to having children!

"Right, where was I?" Nuannuan tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Oh, the number of fetuses affects the second most important factor: nutrient intake. The more fetuses a mother has, the more nutrients she needs, the more she eats, and the more hungry she is!"

Speaking of hunger, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and Xixi's stomach immediately began to rumble.

"Uh... I am actually a little hungry!" Xixi waved her hand somewhat embarrassedly.

Just then, Fatty Orange came in carrying a lot of things. The first thing he saw when he saw the three males busy in the yard immediately went off the alarm bells. He had only been gone for a short while, and three blond guys had already come in.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Nuan Nuan talking to Xi Xi, and then saw the animal marks on the necks of the three males. She immediately realized that these three must be Nuan Nuan's animal husbands.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then strode over to Xixi and unloaded her belongings one by one. "I figured you must be hungry by now. There wasn't time to make anything new, so I went to the shaman chief and got some roasted ham. I added some fuel to the fire on the way here, so the temperature is just right now. Try some!"

As he spoke, he quickly cut off a piece with his stone knife and handed it to Xixi. He then glanced at Nuannuan and reluctantly cut off another small piece for her. "Here, everyone gets a share!"

"Thank you!" Nuannuan didn't mind the chubby orange's differential treatment, nor did she care that the thing came from her own grandmother. She happily accepted it and chewed it carefully.
