Many descendants

The three shamans—one tall, one short, and one fat—were dressed in shaman robes.

Su Yan changed into a loose-fitting green maternity dress, which looked a bit like a surgical gown on Earth, so the blood wouldn't be too bright.

She lay in bed, watching the shamans busily preparing things. "Does Your Majesty have any further instructions?"

"In special circumstances, we'll save the mother over the child," the fat shaman replied coldly.

Su Yan's expression stiffened slightly. "Protecting the child is based on my own wishes."

“We obey His Majesty’s orders in everything,” the fat shaman replied solemnly. “Moreover, fertile females are even more valuable.”

"That's right, please give this fertility pill to the pregnant woman to facilitate a smooth delivery." The dwarf shaman handed Su Yan a cup of water and a pill.

Su Yan looked at the pills and water and smiled, "No need."

The dwarf shaman's expression darkened. "Does the pregnant woman have a problem with my fertility pill?"

"No, I just don't want to eat it." Apart from the pills from the fertility system, Su Yan didn't trust any other medicines.

"Then please have the pregnant woman drink some water." The dwarf shaman put away the fertility pill.

Su Yan couldn't refuse any longer, and childbirth does require drinking a lot of water, which would be difficult to swallow once labor started.

He took the water glass, took a sip, and found the taste of the water a bit strange. He glanced at the dwarf shaman.

The dwarf shaman was preparing the newborn's swaddling clothes and other items, and there was nothing unusual about it.

The high-ranking shaman asked, "What's wrong with the pregnant woman? Is she feeling something?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Please take the water glass with you." Su Yan handed the water glass to Gao Wuzhu.

"Okay." The high shaman took the water glass away.

Su Yan lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and spoke to Xiao Mei: "How much time left?"

[If you hadn't taken that labor-inducing drug, you would have had another ten hours. Having taken it, you would have given birth within about an hour, and there was a risk of uterine rupture.]

Su Yan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the dwarf shaman!

She then threw the water she had just finished drinking out the window.

"With the system here, host, you can rest assured." Xiao Mei reassured Su Yan, telling her to give birth in peace.

I know I feel safe with you around. But she's trying to hurt me! Why?

[500 points. Host, would you like to know the reason?]

"Xiao Mei... you're too good at this business. Sooner or later I'll be working for you for free."

[Absolutely not, the system assures the host. As long as the host completes the childbirth mission, in addition to being reborn on Earth, there will be a large reward; the host can look forward to it.]

"You're just making empty promises to fool me." Su Yan didn't believe her at all. "Here are the 500 points, and also, please neutralize the effects of that labor-inducing drug. I won't allow anything to happen to the baby."

[Okay, host. The effects of the drug have worn off. Please receive the video.] Xiao Mei's voice sounded very cheerful.

Su Yan was speechless. [Now I finally know who Manman takes after—she looks like you, Xiao Mei!]

Xiaomei: [...]

A pot flew in from nowhere!

……

The Beast King's Palace is an incomparably magnificent palace.

The dwarf shaman knelt on the ground and bowed. In the seat of honor directly in front of her sat a woman with a beautiful appearance.

It was none other than the Beast King's little princess, Zi Qiao'er.

With an air of nobility and arrogance, she asked the dwarf shaman, "Are you going to deliver Su Yan's baby?"

“Yes, Your Highness,” the dwarf shaman replied respectfully.

"I've heard that females are prone to accidents during childbirth, such as postpartum hemorrhage."

The dwarf shaman stared at Zi Qiao'er in shock.

Zi Qiao'er fiddled with the beautiful nail art on her fingertips. "I don't want her to live. I need the shaman to do me a favor. Afterwards, the shaman's debts at the gambling den will be wiped clean."

The dwarf shaman broke out in a cold sweat. How did the little princess know that she owed the gambling den money? And His Majesty?

"I intercepted the news; Father Emperor was unaware of it." It could be said that she deliberately intercepted the news and tampered with the information on the other shamans, pushing her to the forefront.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I know what to do."

"I await good news from the shaman."

……

Su Yan lay on her side with her eyes closed.

After the three shamans had prepared everything, seeing that Su Yan had not yet made any move, they could only sit and wait.

During this time, the dwarf shaman repeatedly asked Su Yan if she showed any signs of giving birth.

But Su Yan didn't react at all, eating, drinking, and sleeping as usual... as if today wasn't her due date.

Su Yan had been secretly keeping an eye on the dwarf witch. She was really ruthless. Seeing that the witch hadn't touched the water she drank, she had also tampered with the food and drinks she had taken afterward.

They're really trying to kill her.

Zi Qiao'er, Zi Qiao'er, I have no grudge against you, why are you hurting me like this! Do you think I'm an easy target?

Suddenly, a sharp pain struck.

Ten hours later, she began labor.

But she didn't trust the dwarf witch; she couldn't leave a bomb in her most vulnerable state.

Just as she was about to call Bai Kaixin in to take the person away, a man with fiery red hair suddenly appeared in the delivery room.

You could tell how anxious he was to come; his tattered black military uniform exuded a thick, menacing aura, and there was a bloody, scabbed wound on his face.

Su Yan was so frightened by his appearance that her contractions stopped altogether.

"Zong Sili...you, why are you back?"

"Isn't today the day of childbirth?" Zong Sili didn't dare to approach the bed. He knew how bad his current condition was and was afraid of affecting Su Yan.

Su Yan suddenly smiled, "Go wash up first. You can help me deliver the cubs later, so there's no need to trouble the three shamans."

"Good!" Zong Sili's gaze shifted and landed on the three shamans.

Having just returned from the battlefield of the Dark Continent, the cold, murderous gaze made even those with a clear conscience tremble with fear. The dwarf shaman, who had committed a heinous act, couldn't withstand it and took a step back, his face pale with guilt.

Zong Sili immediately realized that she was suspicious. Without saying a word, he grabbed her by the neck and dragged her away.

The other two shamans didn't dare to plead either, and they knelt on the ground with their foreheads touching the earth.

The two women had noticed the dwarf witch's suspicious behavior, but they also knew that she was being instructed by someone. In order not to offend the person behind her, they pretended not to know anything.

"You two can leave now," Su Yan said to the two of them.

"Please forgive us, we know nothing," the fat shaman pleaded, his voice trembling.

"Yes, we have elderly parents to support and young children to raise. They all depend on us for food and drink. We beg the fertile woman to grant us mercy."

"Going out now will be fine. But when he comes back and sees you still here, things might change." People who have returned from the battlefield are used to killing and will never blink an eye.

The two shamans looked at each other, both seeing the panic and fear in each other's eyes, then bowed to Su Yan in unison and hurriedly ran away.

Not long after, Zong Sili returned. He had cleaned himself up, changed into clean and refreshing casual clothes, and applied medicine to the wounds on his face, so he didn't look so ferocious and scary.

Su Yan took out a large band-aid from the system space and said, "Bring your face closer."

"Okay." Zong Sili didn't ask what she was holding; he did whatever Su Yan told him to do.

Just as Su Yan finished bandaging his wound, another sharp pain struck, causing him to cry out in pain, "Ah—"

He gripped Zong Sili's arm tightly!
