After being bound to the procreation system, the little female seduces everyone in the beast world.

Yan Shu couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt.

She understood Ah Xu and the others' concerns, after all, Ah Chen's behavior was indeed unpredictable.

Even so, she still found it hard to believe, after all, she had witnessed Ah Chen's vulnerability and helplessness firsthand.

She sighed softly, lowered her head, her thoughts disturbed by a jumble of questions.

I don't know where Ah Xu took Ah Chen.

He didn't return until quite a while later.

Ah Chen stood behind Ah Xu, head down, looking somewhat dejected.

He was soaking wet, and water droplets fell to the ground with a soft sound.

His face was pale, almost bloodless, and at this moment, his face and neck were covered with a layer of blue scales.

The scales looked as if they were growing out of his skin, distributed around his neck and cheeks; though small, they were very noticeable.

It appeared to shimmer slightly, its surface radiating an unusually cold aura, a stark contrast to his current weakened state.

It was clear that he was not used to this situation; he didn't even have the strength to look up at people.

Ah Xu glanced coldly at Ah Chen, then turned to Yan Shu, "Shu Shu, I've already asked him, and he has no idea he's a mermaid."

He always thought he was just an ordinary fish and had no idea he possessed other abilities.

Yan Shu was somewhat surprised to hear this.

She had always thought that Ah Chen was hiding something, but she never expected that he didn't even know what he was.

"Is there anyone who doesn't know what kind of creature they are?"

Ah Xu sat down next to her, his face full of worry, concerned about the health of the person beside him.

Hearing her question, I explained to her: "The situation of the merfolk is indeed different from other races, because the merfolk have a special treasure called the 'Half-Life Stone'."

The Half-Life Stone can not only awaken one's bloodline, but also alter it. After a mermaid's bloodline awakens, they become incredibly powerful, but their lifespan is actually very short, and all their offspring are male.

For this reason, although the merfolk are a social race, their way of life is different from that of other races in order to ensure the continuation of their race.

Especially the younger generation, before reaching adulthood, are sent out to train, find females to mate with, and reproduce. Only after this will they awaken their memories and return to the merfolk's homeland.

Ah Xu paused for a moment, then continued, "As for why he hasn't awakened yet, it's probably because he hasn't encountered a suitable environment or a female."

His tone became noticeably sour as he said this.

Yan Shu looked at A Xu, A Hou, and A Ling, all of whom seemed to be in a bad mood.

Are you still angry?

She felt like she had asked a pointless question as soon as she finished asking it.

Not only did she go out and have fun, but she also slept with a man. And not only that, she got pregnant with his child after just one night.

If it weren't for the fact that getting pregnant overnight is normal in this world, she felt she would be treated like a giant panda.

"I……"

Ah Xu spoke in a low voice, his tone calm but unable to hide the underlying anxiety, "We're not angry, we're just worried about your health."

To outsiders, she was already a "high-risk pregnant woman" with her first pregnancy, and now, with twins on the way, the pressure on her body will be even greater, and the consequences will be even more unpredictable.

Ah-Xu also thought of this.

He looked at her, the unspoken worry in his eyes like a thick fog, almost engulfing him.

Ah Xu's eyes were filled with sadness, and his fingers were so tight that Yan Shu's hand was almost painful. Clearly, all his anxiety and worry had been gathered in this moment.

He lowered his head, took a deep breath, as if trying to calm his agitated emotions, but still couldn't hide the deep pain in his eyes: "Shushu,"

His voice was low and filled with undisguised sorrow, "We were all afraid something would happen to you."

Yan Shu could feel his body trembling slightly.

She was pinched painfully, but she didn't show any resistance on her face. Instead, she looked at him gently.

“If you leave…” Ah Xu’s voice became even lower and hoarse, as if each word carried an immense burden, “We…we really can’t survive.”

Ah Hou and Ah Ling stood to the side, their lips trembling slightly, clearly trying to suppress their emotions.

They didn't speak, knowing it was the most foolish thing to do, afraid of saying something unpleasant that would make Shushu even more upset, so they could only silently watch the scene unfold before them.

"You..." Yan Shu finally spoke, her voice choked with emotion, "I... I really will be alright."

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, raised her head, and said in as firm a tone as possible, "You believe me, okay?"

She knew that no matter what she said, Ah Xu and the others were unwilling to believe that her body was in danger, and they dared not accept that she might be in any danger.

Ah Xu was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed, and the pain in his eyes seemed to intensify.

He lowered his head, his hand gripping hers tightly, his eyes filled with an almost pleading look: "Shushu..."

His voice was gentler than before, but filled with endless worry, "We can't live without you."

Yan Shu raised her hand and gently stroked his face, her eyes filled with tears: "I promise you, I will live well."

Her voice was soft, yet carried a firm strength, “So you must believe me, I will definitely be able to give birth to these two children safely.”

Ah Xu's movements were somewhat hurried. He hugged Yan Shu tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his body, afraid that she would disappear.

His cheek kept rubbing against her neck, and Yan Shu could feel his hot breath and his slight trembling.

After a long while, Ah Xu finally spoke softly, his voice so low it was almost inaudible: "Okay."

His voice carried a suppressed emotion, as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden, but there was also some resentment and helplessness.

Yan Shu knew that this "good" was not a complete relief, but rather their acceptance of the facts.

Her physical condition was no longer something she could ignore, and she could no longer abort the two children.

Ah Hou and Ah Ling stood aside. They didn't disturb her, but silently walked over and bent down to gently hug Yan Shu.

She felt surrounded by warmth, as if it were a silent comfort and an unspeakable heartache.

“Shushu,” Ah Hou’s voice was deep, yet exceptionally gentle, “We will always be with you, don’t worry.”

Ah Chen, still kneeling on the ground, did not raise his head. His back was tense, and he felt even more distressed when he heard Ah Hou's words.

The disbelief and panic he felt when he first learned that the female adult was pregnant with his child had completely disappeared, replaced by deep self-blame and remorse.

He once thought he was just an ordinary person, and even felt that he was insignificant at one point, but now, everything has happened.

The female adult suffers the pain of pregnancy, and may even die as a result, all because of him.
