After transmigrating, she became the most beloved beast in the world.

The little black snake in the basket stared at Chu Xinyao with its hazy eyes. Those eyes were clear and full of curiosity. Its little head was slightly raised, and its forked tongue occasionally darted out, gently touching the air.

The other small black snake appeared more relaxed, coiled around a white egg, its body rising and falling gently with its breath. Its tail was wrapped around the egg, occasionally flicking it to tap it.

Chu Xinyao's hand froze in mid-air, momentarily at a loss.

"Oh, you two little rascals, when did you get in here?" A young female sitting below exclaimed, her voice filled with affection. She stepped forward and grabbed the two small snakes.

The two small snakes did not struggle; instead, they coiled tightly around her hand. Their bodies were soft, and their scales shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

The female gently stroked the little snake's head, her movements tender, her eyes radiating a maternal glow.

"Little brat!" This is clearly not a term for a pet.

Chu Xinyao watched as the female placed the two small snakes into the animal skin bag beside her, where the shadow of a slightly lighter-colored snake could be vaguely seen.

"they?"

"Isn't Green Grass amazing? This litter has three cubs!" Little White said with envy. Green Grass and Little White had paired up during the hot season last year, while Little White and Green Grass had paired up during the rainy season last year. But they were a season late. Green Grass had a litter, while Little White hadn't shown any signs of life yet.

"Yes, I also hope that my litter will have two, or even three cubs." Sisi stroked her belly, watching as Green Grass carefully packed the three little snakes into a box, covered them with a thin piece of animal skin, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Sisi, you'll be born soon too!" The females nearby immediately became interested when the cubs were mentioned.

"Yes, it should be in the next few days."

"Sisi's mother, you must give Sisi a good nourishment. By the way, the rainy season is coming soon. Sisi's mother, have you prepared hay and animal hides for Sisi?" Another female immediately asked the fat cook after hearing Sisi say that she would lay eggs in the next few days.

The cook laughed and said, "Don't worry, she has no experience. I've laid two clutches of eggs, so I guarantee the chicks will hatch successfully."

Hearing the females around her talking, Chu Xinyao felt it was incredibly fantastical. They actually laid eggs! Although she had always known that these people were beastmen, they rarely seemed to show their beastly side.

This led her to never imagine that their children would actually be snake eggs. Those two adorable little snakes from before were indeed the offspring of the green grass, Chu Xinyao thought in amazement. Recalling the holy maiden in the high priest's story, wasn't she also born from snake eggs?

She couldn't help but wonder, wouldn't laying snake eggs be less painful than childbirth?

besides......

"Sisi, are you about to give birth... lay eggs?" She looked at Sisi's flat abdomen.

Sisi smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Both the snake and I are orange-level aptitude, and it took us two years to have this litter." Her voice was filled with pride.

Chu Xinyao frowned slightly, filled with curiosity about the orcs' methods of childbirth. In the human world, the pain of childbirth is unimaginable, and it is also extremely dangerous. But the orcs' methods of childbirth seem to be different.

"Your Majesty, is there something you want to ask?" Little White noticed her hesitant expression.

Chu Xinyao nodded, then hesitated and said, "Yes, it's that... does childbirth hurt? I heard from the high priest that the holy maiden died during childbirth."

The older female beside Chu Xinyao smiled and said, “Mistress, you don’t need to worry. Our black snakes don’t experience pain when giving birth. Well, we can’t say it’s completely painless, but it’s definitely not as dangerous as childbirth in other tribes.”

“That’s right,” another female, whose hair was tied up with a twig, suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “I heard that a female from the deer tribe next door mated with a white tiger from the south last year, right? She gave birth not long after, and guess what happened?”

"What's wrong? Tell us!" The other females gathered around, their faces full of curiosity. Their voices were tinged with urgency as they urged the female to continue.

"She didn't have one child, she had twins."

"Oh my god, two!" the crowd exclaimed, their expressions a complex mix of emotions. "Whether it's a deer or a tiger, they're not good at breeding, are they?"

“That’s right. I heard that when she gave birth, all the shamans in the tribe came out and were busy for a whole day and night,” the female said with sympathy.

"As a result, the birth of the first tiger cub went well, but the second fawn was a disaster. It took a long time to give birth and eventually suffocated to death. The female also did not survive."

“It’s such a pity,” an older female sighed, her voice heavy. “Our Ink Serpent Clan is still the best.”

"Yes, Madam, you don't need to worry. The clan leader is a red-level beastman, so laying eggs should be relatively smooth for you."

Ha! She lays eggs too? And how did this relate to qualifications?

Well, laying eggs is indeed better than giving birth. Giving birth in this backward beast world is too dangerous!

The topic veered off course, and the females, engrossed in gossip, discussed the latest happenings in the tribe: whose cubs had learned new skills, whose mates had displayed bravery in the hunt. Such topics always elicited bursts of laughter.

Finally, Chu Xinyao realized that it was getting late, and that's when she managed to get the attention of all the females back on her.

Chu Xinyao's gaze fell on the fresh fish and eggs in the basket, and an idea came to her. "It's getting late, and we still don't have enough ingredients. I see there's fish, eggs, and spices to remove the fishy smell. Let's try steaming the fish and eggs today!"

Chu Xinyao found some ginger from the Beast World—not dried spice, but fresh. It was about the size of a carrot and bright red in color. Since the females didn't know what to call it, Chu Xinyao simply named it.

She peeled the ginger and sliced ​​it. Because the fish was quite fishy, ​​she stuffed a lot of it in and then spread another layer on the fish to ensure that every inch of the fish was infused with ginger.

Next, Chu Xinyao began preparing the steamed eggs. She cracked the eggs into a bowl, stirred them gently, added an appropriate amount of water, and stirred again until well combined.

"I'm just trying it out first. Please let me know if you have any opinions," Chu Xinyao said to everyone while she was busy. She hoped that everyone would participate and work together to find a suitable approach.

As the water in the pot began to boil, the egg mixture in the bowl, which was supported by a stone, started to become active. Steam rose slowly, and the egg mixture swayed gently in the bowl, gradually taking shape.

The steamed fish began to emit an enticing aroma, the spiciness of the ginger slices blending perfectly with the freshness of the fish, making one's mouth water.

Tonight's meal at the Ink Serpent Tribe was still mainly barbecue, but they added a few plates of steamed fish and steamed eggs. Although the females didn't have much creativity, they all learned how to make simple steamed fish and steamed eggs.
