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

"Wasn't the little female taken away by her beast mate and hidden in the cabin?" Fish Bubble grabbed Crane Feather, who was unsteady on her feet due to the ship's rocking. Her brows were furrowed, and her tone revealed a hint of worry.

The waves crashed against the hull, causing the entire vessel to tremble slightly, as if it might be swallowed up by the surging waves at any moment.

Upon hearing this, He Yu felt a slight relaxation in his tense state.

With Tiger Roar around, there's nothing to worry about.

"That's good. I might have missed it. Do you need any help?" After all, he was an eighth-level expert, and he couldn't ignore the danger he was in.

"You?" Fish Bubble looked Crane Feather up and down, a hint of mockery flashing in its eyes.

He was well aware of He Yu's strength, but even an eighth-tier expert couldn't guarantee a safe retreat in this chaotic battlefield. Suddenly, he swiftly and accurately struck a sneaking orc behind He Yu with his trident.

"Let's just forget about it!" Fish Bubble's voice was laced with disdain, clearly indicating that she didn't think Crane Feather could be of any help here.

His trident traced a graceful arc through the air, striking the orc precisely in the chest, sending him flying and crashing heavily onto the deck.

Crane Feather turned around, looking at the orc who had been knocked away, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected Fish Bubble to move so quickly and with such astonishing strength.

“Alright, then be careful.” He Yu nodded. Although he was confident in his strength, he also understood that this was not his home turf. In the end, he decided to go and find Hu Xiao and Chu Xinyao.

"Yaoyao, how are you? Why is your face so pale?" Hu Xiao held Chu Xinyao's hand tightly, full of worry.

Chu Xinyao's face was as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her breathing was rapid and weak, clearly indicating that she was suffering great pain.

"I didn't... um." Before Chu Xinyao could finish speaking, a dull pain in her abdomen struck again, causing her to let out a soft moan. Her hand unconsciously went to her abdomen, where the pain made her restless.

Hu Xiao immediately noticed Chu Xinyao's unusual behavior and became even more anxious. Chu Xinyao was pregnant, and her due date was originally next month. Now that her belly had been bumped, would it cause the cubs to be born prematurely?

He helped Chu Xinyao onto a soft cushion, letting her lie half-reclined to alleviate her pain as much as possible. "Hang in there, Yao Yao, I'm going to find a witch doctor right away!" Hu Xiao's voice trembled slightly as he tried to remain calm, but the panic in his heart almost overwhelmed him.

Chu Xinyao grabbed Hu Xiao's hand, her eyes filled with helplessness. "Don't leave me, Hu Xiao, I'm scared." Her voice was weak, almost drowned out by the surrounding noise, and she gripped his hand even tighter, as if he were her only support.

Tiger Roar took a deep breath; he knew he couldn't hesitate here. "I won't leave you, Yao Yao. I'll be back as soon as possible." He gently patted Chu Xin Yao's hand, then quickly stood up and began searching the chaotic cabin for a witch doctor or any orc who could help her.

"Tiger Roar..." Chu Xinyao watched Tiger Roar's departing figure helplessly.

[Xinyao, you're showing signs of premature labor. We need to find a solution quickly, otherwise the consequences could be dire.]

[Sister Ting, what should I do?] Chu Xinyao had tears in her eyes and felt a warm liquid flowing out of her body. An ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

[Sister Ting, I think I'm bleeding, what should I do?]

Long Tingting anxiously watched Chu Xinyao's condition. The snake egg in her belly had been developing well and was nearing maturity. Chu Xinyao had just bumped her stomach, increasing the pressure inside her abdominal cavity and causing premature labor.

[There are two options. One is to use points to buy a soothing item for the snake eggs, but that item costs 300 points, and you only have 263 points right now. The other option is to let the snake babies hatch early, but...] Long Tingting hesitated.

[But what?] Chu Xinyao's heart skipped a beat, and she vaguely guessed that it must be bad for the snake baby.

Long Tingting's voice was heavy; she knew how cruel this decision was for Chu Xinyao.

[While choosing to let the snake cubs hatch early would save points, it might cause irreversible damage to the development of the snake eggs.]

She paused and continued.

[The two gold-grade snake eggs in your womb might be able to withstand the pressure of premature hatching, but the other snake eggs, especially the three weakest ones, may be damaged or even lose their chance of hatching.]

Chu Xinyao's heart tightened as she touched her belly, feeling the presence of those little lives.

Each snake egg is a precious life; how could she bear to let them lose their chance to survive because of her decision?

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes; she was determined not to let such a thing happen.

[Sister Ting, I can't take this risk. Points can be earned again, but life is only once. I can't sacrifice these little lives like this.]

Her eyes shone with a maternal glow, a respect for life.

Long Tingting nodded. She understood Chu Xinyao's decision and respected her choice.

[Then we'll choose to buy items with points, but we don't have enough points right now. You can gain points by mating with Tiger Roar; you'll get 100 points the first time, which is more than enough.]

Chu Xinyao hesitated. Tiger Roar? She now deeply regretted using her points to exchange for gold coins.

Moreover, this was too sudden; she wasn't prepared at all. Shouldn't such things happen naturally when feelings are strong?

Now that it's all happening so suddenly, how can she tell Hu Xiao? She feels like she's using him, which is so unfair to him.

While Chu Xinyao was still struggling with her decision, Hu Xiao and He Yu had reached an agreement. He Yu would transform into his beast form and carry Chu Xinyao to a nearby island to find a witch doctor. They had just encountered a small island that morning, where a merman tribe lived.

"Xinyao, can you still hold on?" Heyu found a piece of animal skin in the cabin and had Chu Xinyao wrap it around herself.

Seeing the two of them come in together, Chu Xinyao was a little embarrassed to ask in front of He Yu, "What's going on... how is it outside now?"

"Yaoyao, don't worry about that. Quick, use Crane Feather Transformation to take you away," Hu Xiao urged.

With a sound of bones deforming, the crane feathers had successfully transformed into the crane's body.

"Wait a minute..." Just as Chu Xinyao was about to say that she had a solution, a familiar voice suddenly came from inside the cabin, interrupting her thoughts.

"Quickly, while that merman is injured, we must act fast!"

Chu Xinyao was stunned. It was the voice of Ah Er, the man in black beside Mo. She really hadn't seen wrong.

Was this attack on the merman ship really the work of Snake Ink?
