Many descendants

Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Su Yan looked at her huge belly, wondering how many babies were kicking and moving around her belly all the time.

The mother of this body gave birth to nine children in one pregnancy, and it's unknown whether she inherited this fertility.

As for the little black panther mentioned earlier, it can only be said that its beast father was on the verge of death, and the fact that it was able to produce any essence was all thanks to the Pregnancy Elixir.

Ashley is Grom's chosen successor as the next generation of clan witch, and having already given birth to one child, she has a complete understanding of the entire pregnancy process for females and is now taking over some basic prenatal check-up work.

Su Yan lay on the bed, looking at Ashley's gentle and happy face, and smiled, "There are still two days until then, you don't need to come every day."

Ashley said, "You have a special constitution. If it weren't for those little rats who can't live without me, I would be living here keeping an eye on you."

"Haha, where's Lin Lang? Doesn't he look after the kids?" Su Yan never shied away from talking about Lin Lang with Ashley.

The more you try to avoid it, the more suspicious people become.

It's more comfortable to chat like this, open and honest.

Ashley and Lin Lang are now getting along well, "The rat and rabbit tribes are now fighting monsters together, so he won't be back until late at night and won't be able to take care of the children."

"Your family is back, but mine hasn't even shown up for five days."

Su Yan felt uneasy when she thought of Zulu.

Ever since he returned from hunting three live deer, his concern for her had faded.

He used to want to be with her every day, but now he doesn't even reply to her messages.

Ashley's face showed a complicated expression when she heard her talk about the Zulus.

Su Yan keenly sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"I think I should tell you this so you can be mentally prepared. Rona works in logistics for the demon hunter team, and she and Zulu often spend time alone together in private. Although they haven't progressed to the point of having sex yet, but..."

Before the words were even finished, the meaning was clear: the two of them could do something passionate at any moment.

Su Yan frowned. "You mean Rona and Zulu?"

Ashley nodded. "You're the wife, and I think sometimes you can't be too permissive. You still need to assert your authority as the wife and set rules for your husband."

If Su Yan hadn't been pregnant, Ashley wouldn't have said any of this. Zulu, after all, was the son of the rabbit tribe chieftain and possessed considerable strength. It was a waste that Su Yan, with such an excellent male, couldn't have children. If Zulu wanted offspring, it would be perfectly acceptable for him to father children with other females in private.

But now that Su Yan is about to give birth, the male should stay true to his duty and not philander.

Su Yan didn't care too much. She had told Zulu before not to pay too much attention to her, and he should have taken her advice.

Could it be with Rona? But that seems unlikely.

Zulu prefers beautiful females, just like Lin Lang; he's somewhat attracted to beauty and charm.

Rona's appearance was not within his aesthetic range.

Could it be that he has suddenly developed a lust for power and wants to inherit the position of clan leader? If he has the support of the rat clan leader, it would indeed be a great help.

“Okay, when he comes back, I’ll set some rules for him.” Su Yan replied, following Ashley’s suggestion. “Right now, I need to take care of the baby in my belly.”

Ashley was relieved to hear this. "That's right, that's exactly what I mean. The baby is the most important thing. I was worried that hearing this would be bad for your delivery, so I kept it to myself. But if I didn't say anything, I was afraid things would escalate and lead to uncontrollable consequences, so I told you anyway."

"Don't worry, Ashley. I didn't grow up in a tribe. I've wandered around and seen and experienced a lot. This little thing won't break me."

"That's good. That Lorna is too shameless. Males who have females should avoid each other, but she's still chasing after them. She's really disgracing the chieftain and the rat tribe." Ashley used to have a good relationship with Lorna, but now she'd rather not know her.

Su Yan smiled and said nothing more.

Ashley changed the subject, talking about the funny stories of her little mice.

……

The gloomy sky foreshadowed that rain was coming soon.

Despite being heavily pregnant, Su Yan helped Auro take down the dried meat that was drying on the rack. She even ate some while doing so.

"Dad, the dried meat with salt is really delicious."

"Eat more if you like."

Oro smiled as he looked at her pregnant belly, knowing that one day it would surely bear his Mirut child. As for Xiao Luo, since he hadn't found a suitable female rabbit, having children seemed a distant prospect; his daughter was a more reliable option.

When he goes out with his eldest grandson or granddaughter, he'll be so proud.

Su Yan opened the system map, and she could see everything that happened within a 100-meter radius.

Suddenly, someone entered the area on her map.

It was Zulu; his hands and shoulders were laden with live prey.

He encountered some tribesmen on the road and exchanged pleasantries with them. He returned their greetings very politely, but from an observer's perspective, his smile seemed like a mask—handsome but not genuine.

In the past, Zulu was always very sincere in his dealings with people and in his work. It was this rare and precious quality that moved her and made her decide to have a litter of yellow-rank offspring.

She started experiencing mild contractions in her abdomen, and knew she was about to give birth.

She slowly turned around, still eating dried meat, and said, "Dad, I'm going to lie down for a bit. Can you have Xiao Luo go and invite Sister Ashley?"

"Is she about to give birth?" Auro counts on her fingers every day; today is her due date.

Su Yan nodded, "Yes."

Oro immediately told Xiao Luo to go and invite someone.

According to custom, females about to give birth must be sent to the birthing room, which is specially used by the tribal shaman to deliver children.

However, Su Yan didn't want too many people to see that she had given birth through assisted reproductive technology, so she told Ashley in advance to invite her to her home.

As Zulu carried his prey through the door, he saw Oro hurriedly boiling water.

Orcs are afraid of fire, but Su Yan insisted that a large pot of water be boiled for future use, which is why Oro did so.

Even the scalpel used to cut the umbilical cord had to be disinfected with the "alcohol" she prepared before it was considered safe.

After understanding the situation, Zulu first gave the prey to Oro, and then went to see Suyan.

Su Yan's forehead was already sweating. Having given birth once before, she had some experience and knew that shouting was useless. She should wait until her cervix was fully dilated before pushing.

Zulu handed her a Seven-Star Red Fruit, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I found this while hunting. I don't know if it will be of any use to you in your current situation."

"Not right now." Su Yan's expression was barely contained by the pain of labor, yet it possessed a fragile beauty that evoked pity.

Zulu wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Does it hurt a lot?"

"You try giving birth to one yourself." Su Yan rolled her eyes at him, then looked at the water beside her. "I'm thirsty."

Zulu poured her a glass of water, and after she finished drinking it, he said, "I'm going to visit my father-in-law."

“…Okay.” Su Yan looked at him.

Zulu went out without hesitation.

Su Yan closed her eyes.

[Xiaomei, how much longer until you give birth?]

[Six hours. 】

Why did it take so long?

Every pregnancy is different; six hours is normal. If the host wants to give birth faster, she can use Anshun Dan.

No need, just have a normal delivery.

[Host, you are reminded that after giving birth, you can have another offspring with your beast husband.]

Why wasn't this mentioned before?

Xiao Mei did not reply.

Su Yan was speechless. This childbirth system was just like that; it would go silent halfway through, as if it were about to reveal some secret.

As for continuing to have children with Zulu… she doesn’t want to right now. Especially after learning about his affair with Rona.

Even seeing him return on the map made her feel uneasy.

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

Even unintentional acts leave traces. The joy she shared with Zulu, and how he turned against his family and married into the Milut family for her sake… all these things still touched her, and a spark of hope ignited in her heart. However, the appearance of Rona extinguished that spark completely.

Ashley came running.

When he saw Zulu was also there, his anxious expression eased slightly. After a few pleasantries, he still couldn't help but say, "Lona is a jealous woman. She has been domineering and selfish since she was a child. She would never humble herself. Su Yan is an excellent female, and she is about to give birth to your offspring. I advise you to think carefully about what you should do and what you shouldn't provoke."
