The Beast King's Little Wife

My wife will give birth in a month.

After calculating the time, I decided to go hunting with the main group.

This time, I must hunt a lot so that my wife can have a peaceful postpartum period.

Thinking about my wife's and my guesses, there might be several children in her belly, and I get really nervous.

I used to think that the food in this house was enough.

It seems that this little bit of food is far from enough.

Several mouths will be coming with wide-open mouths begging for food, so I need to catch plenty and prepare plenty of food.

Therefore, this time when I went hunting in the mountains, I not only hunted, but also took every spare moment to look for wild fruits and vegetables.

In the evening, while everyone was smoking cigarettes made from tobacco leaves, I started to busy myself roasting various fruits and wild vegetables.

Only some of the plumpest fruits can be made into dried fruit.

The most effective remedies are wild vegetables, which can be eaten in winter.

My wife likes offal, so I won't give it up either.

To others, these offal smells awful, but when I think of my wife's happy smile as she eats them, I realize they're actually quite good.

Smoked meat, liver, lungs, and especially the internal organs of some long-lived animals, all have certain nourishing effects.

Based on the information I previously brought out from the Nine-Tailed Ice Fox Clan, the longer these beasts live, the more special energy they possess.

If one can transform this energy into one's own, little by little, it may be possible to comprehend something different.

That's why I always collect the internal organs of these old beasts after I kill them.

After cleaning up, I'll make a pot of soup for my wife and me.

In winter, eating these dried livers and tripe is actually quite delicious.

"I always thought our village chief was a good husband. But look at him now, it turns out that Fox is the best man who knows how to love his wife. I've never seen any other man do this for his wife. He's always picking this fruit or that liver. He's practically plucked the moon from the sky for her."

Someone made fun of me.

I just smiled.

Thinking of the little woman at home, my face is filled with happiness.

The reborn me is definitely something they can't understand.

Because I lost something in my previous life, I naturally cherish my current life in this life.

It's true that people only learn to cherish things after they've lost them.

We had a great haul on this hunt. The village chief and the hunting team leader were amazed to see how much dried food I had gathered.

They didn't make me carry any of the heavier prey.

But I declined his offer.

When they rested along the way, they continued walking, leaving their own belongings in front, then turned back and followed the group to carry the larger items home.

After going back and forth like this, I finally saw the road to the village. However, as I approached the village, my heart began to race uncontrollably.

"Wife, wife, I'm home."

"what……"

We started yelling before we even got home.

However, a sharp, pitiful scream came from inside the house.

My wife is in trouble. "Wife..."

I was so scared that I threw down what I was holding and ran home as fast as I could.

Sam and the woman next door quickly came out to greet me and stopped me.

"Don't come in. You exude a murderous aura. Don't frighten your wife. She's giving birth right now. Just wait here."

"How...how could she give birth now? Wasn't she supposed to be in about twenty days?"

Sam gave me a helpless glare. "This child is either early or late; there's no such thing as a fixed date. That predicted date is just a prediction, you understand?"

Oh my god, my wife is about to give birth.

I've heard that women lose a lot of skin when they give birth.

Moreover, it was a brush with death.

If you can pull through, you can drink chicken soup, eat eggs, and enjoy all sorts of nourishing foods.

If you don't make it through, then you're going straight to meet the master.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

The moment I heard my wife's yelling, I trembled with fear. I, who can usually carry hundreds of pounds, felt unsteady on my feet.

I pressed my ear close to the wall, wanting to hear the young wife's cries.

I get nervous when she calls out.

But when she stopped crying out, I became even more frightened.

"The cervix hasn't dilated yet; this young woman is likely to have a long wait ahead of her."

My heart pounded as I listened to Sam's words.

It took him a long time to find his voice, his lips dry.

"Does she still have the strength now?"

Oh my god, childbirth is so scary, I... I never want my wife to give birth again.

"If we keep going like this, it might get a little difficult."

For Sam to say something like that, it goes without saying that his wife was in extreme danger.

I was terrified at that moment.

I turned around and quickly took out the things I had prepared for my wife before.

"This is for my wife to suck."

He took out a large ginseng root, which was his wife's favorite thing in his previous life.

Later I learned that this thing called ginseng is indeed something that can prolong life.

Sam looked at the long, radish-like thing covered in roots.

"This thing is way too big, how is she going to bite it?"

I slapped my forehead and quickly turned around to cut a large slice for her.

"Give it to her, I'll cut more if it's not enough."

"what……"

Finally, shortly after Sam went inside, the young wife's pitiful screams rang out again, though they were still somewhat faint.

But at least I could hear again. At that moment, I clutched my chest, tears streaming down my face. "I won't have any more children, I never want to have any more."

If this happens a few more times, it'll scare me so much I'll die young.

Giving birth was a long and arduous process. In the middle of the night, I ignored Sam's attempts to stop me and forced my way into the house.

Holding my poor little wife, whom I never managed to rescue from there, I felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

The moment she grabbed my hand, she glared at me fiercely.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault." Before she could scold me, I quickly admitted my mistake.

Meanwhile, Sam and the old woman next door were also listening in a daze.

The young wife's unfocused eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

"Yeah, it's all your fault..."

"Ah..."

With that shout, the little baby was told to get out.

Looking at that tiny, bloodied doll with its head all over its body, my tears flowed like a burst dam.

Damn, this is really too difficult. Giving birth is definitely a torturous experience for both the mother and the father.

"It's a kid."

Sam shouted with joy.

But then, she was thrown into the intense work of delivering babies.

"the second……"

"The third……"

When I heard the third one, my head was spinning.

They frantically washed the children, watching them wrapped in soft animal skins.

His thin, frail appearance made my heart tremble. I really doubted whether such a tiny child could grow up.

"The fourth one..."

"And... what else..."

"the fifth!"

"It's gone. It's finally gone."

One pregnancy... five.

My God!

At that moment, looking at the string of little radishes, I felt like I'd been struck by lightning.

"Give me the children. Look at you, you're so stupid, you don't know how to take care of children at all."

Sam scolded him.

Taking the boneless little baby from my hands, I turned to look at my poor little wife.

Childbirth is so exhausting; having five babies at once really took a toll on my health.

Looking at my wife, whose face was soaked with sweat, I gently placed my hand between her noses.

Only when he sensed that faint breath did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, my little wife is still alive.

I'm really worried that she'll leave me.

After tidying her up a bit, I turned around and looked at the three little red radish heads.

She had four children in one pregnancy: three sons and two daughters. Looking at them, they're all neatly arranged in a row, creating a lively scene.

I put the children next to her and went to bed. Only when I relaxed did I realize how tired I really was.

Honestly, I never want to go through that mental ordeal again.

From that night on, I never had a peaceful night's sleep again.

I'm so worried about my five kids, especially when they wake up hungry in the middle of the night and I'm looking for food.

My wife was still asleep, and I didn't want to wake her. So I woke Sam up too. I carried three of them, and she carried two. We headed to Tiger's house in the middle of the night.

Her wife had just given birth, so she had milk.

That night, I coaxed and pleaded with Tiger's wife to come to my house to sleep.

The next morning, I ran to the back mountain and began to search diligently for wild goats.

My wife once told me that there's a creature in these mountains with horns on its head that bleats; it produces milk, and that milk can feed babies. Actually, even wild buffalo can be fed like that.

I didn't find any wild sheep, but I did find a bison, and with my brute strength, I managed to tame it.

Even after being dragged back, the children were still hungry and had tears in their eyes.

I quickly grabbed the bison, squeezed out some of its milk, and then, following my wife's previous instructions, boiled and cooled it before feeding the children.

Watching the little ones wolf down their food, I was filled with mixed emotions. Raising even one is a struggle, let alone five! It's going to be incredibly difficult.

"The children were starving, and Tiger's wife still had to feed her own daughter. These five children were fighting over the food, and in no time they had taken all of Tiger's wife's milk. The little girl was crying loudly. It's a good thing we have this cow."

Sam continued to nurse while talking about family matters.

Has the cuckoo awakened?

Not yet.

I got nervous again when I heard that.

"Why aren't you awake yet?"

"She must be exhausted. After all that trouble for a whole day and night, she must need to sleep a lot to feel relieved after giving birth."

"I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead, you're just too worried about Dujuan."

Sam laughed at me.

However, I still nervously ran into the inner room...
