Yan Shu saw the drop of bright red blood fall onto the crystal stone, and the originally turbid stone suddenly became clear, as if it had been washed clean in an instant.

The crystal surface began to emit a faint glow, which grew brighter and brighter over time, gradually spreading out and illuminating the entire room.

As the crystal's brilliance grew, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense.

The old female orc's expression grew increasingly serious as she gripped the crystal tightly in her hand, as if confirming something.

The other female orcs held their breath, all eyes fixed on the crystal.

The old female orc narrowed her eyes, staring at Yan Shu, her voice becoming low and calm: "Her constitution is weak, and her fertility is unknown."

As soon as the words were spoken, the light in the room suddenly disappeared, and the crystal returned to its previous state.

The expressions on the faces of all the orcs froze instantly.

"Fertility unknown?"

This is extremely rare for a female.

Normally, after each female is tested, her fertility is either below average, average, or above average, but cases like Yan Shu's, where fertility is unknown, are almost never seen.

The room suddenly became unusually quiet, and the beastmen around them looked at each other, clearly puzzled.

"Could it be... infertility?"

Someone asked in a low voice, full of doubt and worry.

The old female orc shook her head and frowned, saying, "The light just now clearly indicated superior fertility, but I don't know why it suddenly disappeared."

Ah Hou's face paled, but Ah Ling remained as cold and aloof as ever.

Ah-Xu, who should have been the most anxious, remained silent as if he hadn't heard those words at all.

"That……"

The old female orc seemed to want to ask something more, but she paused for a moment, as if weighing something, and finally sighed: "Never mind, give her a piece of land."

Even if a female has a high fertility rate, she will not have a good outcome if she is physically weak.

Most of these females die during childbirth due to complications.

Yan Shu remained silent throughout. Although the discussions around her kept echoing in her ears, she did not interrupt, but silently wondered what they were talking about.

Sigh, it still hurts to hear that someone has a weak constitution.

-

When Yan Shu finally left that oppressive room, the tension from before had not completely dissipated.

Just as she was lamenting her physical condition and this forced marriage.

Suddenly, she felt a force coming from behind her—

Ah Xu's fluffy tail suddenly wrapped tightly around half of her body.

Yan Shu exclaimed in surprise, and before she could react, she was already airborne.

Looking down, Yan Shu realized that she was sitting on a huge silver fox, which was none other than A Xu.

His silver fur shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, like a magnificent cloak woven from silver threads covering his body, and his tail swayed gently, as if intentionally teasing her.

"Hahaha, we're males with females now!"

Ah Hou laughed excitedly from a short distance away, then transformed into a huge gray wolf, leaping nimbly to catch up with Ah Xu.

His wolf ears perked up slightly, his eyes were full of joy, and his strong limbs moved lightly on the ground, his fur rustling in the wind.

Yan Shu couldn't help but become curious about A Ling. After all, A Hou and A Xu had both transformed into their beast forms, so she naturally wanted to see what kind of creature A Ling was.

She recalled Ah Ling's cold and aloof appearance and began to speculate.

It has scales...

It shouldn't be the one I'm thinking of, right?

With a hint of doubt, she turned to look at Ah Ling.

However, the moment her gaze swept over, she froze.

She saw a huge white snake.

The white scales shimmered with a cold light in the sunlight. The snake's head was raised high, coldly staring at her, its golden vertical pupils carrying a hint of icy majesty.

Yan Shu was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin. She instinctively gripped Ah Xu's back fur tightly, her voice trembling, "Ah Xu... Ah Ling, he... he's a snake?!"

Ah Xu chuckled softly, gently patting her waist with his tail, soothingly saying, "Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you, and the white snake has no ability to harm people."

Ah Ling noticed Yan Shu's fear of her, and a hint of sadness and inferiority flashed in her golden snake eyes.

He slowly lowered the snake's head, seemingly trying to make himself look less frightening.

Yan Shu was taken to a mountain by them.

"We have our own place to live now!!!"

Ah Hou stood on a boulder, howling to the sky. His voice echoed through the valley, filled with excitement.

Ah Ling had returned to human form and silently walked to a corner, standing there in silence.

Meanwhile, Ah-Xu still hadn't transformed back into human form.

He noticed that Yan Shu seemed to really like his soft, silvery fur.

He felt very comfortable whenever she unintentionally stroked his back.

Therefore, Ah Xu deliberately maintained his beast form, his fluffy tail swaying gently and occasionally wrapping around Yan Shu's waist.

When Yan Shu saw Ah Ling, who remained silent and didn't even dare to approach her, she felt a little regretful for having shown such fear earlier.

Okay, she is indeed afraid of snakes, but she can't stand other people's aggrieved looks.

Seeing Ah Hou's happy expression, and remembering what the old female orc had just said, she asked, "My health is poor, and I may not be able to have children. Do you still want to stay by my side?"

In this era, Yan Shu clearly understood the importance of strong power and fertility to the tribe. In particular, as a female, without physical strength and the ability to reproduce, she was of no use.

Little did she know that her well-intentioned reminder would only make the three males in front of her extremely anxious.

Ah Hou jumped down first, his face full of anxiety: "Don't worry! We will definitely do our best to get you back to health, no matter what method we have! Even if you can't have children now, you'll definitely be able to once you're healthy!"

Ah Ling stood in the corner, a hint of anxiety in her eyes. Her golden snake eyes were fixed on her, clearly telling her that everything was alright.

Ah Xu's big tail was still tightly wrapped around her waist, swaying gently. His voice carried a hint of urgency and reassurance: "Don't overthink it. We're not in a hurry to have offspring. Right now, all we want is for you to be well. Nothing else matters."

Yan Shu felt helpless seeing how nervous the three of them were.

They weren't in a hurry, but she was!

She must complete the tasks of the childbirth system in order to improve her physical attributes.

Now, she gets out of breath after just a few steps and is extremely weak.

How she longed to have a healthy body, to be able to run and jump, and not to be so weak and powerless every day.

"And I feel that you are not an ordinary female. From the first moment I saw you, I felt that you were a rare female!"

Ah Xu said excitedly.
