Chapter 33: Chou Rong’s Cubs?

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Chou Rong’s Cubs?

Xin Feng’s face fell. He was flustered and at a loss for a moment, but he quickly composed himself.

"Wanwan, don’t be scared. Just hang in there. I’ll go get the Clan Witch to come take a look at you right now."

All females needed the Clan Witch’s help to give birth, so his first instinct was to call for her.

But Bai Wanwan gripped his hand tightly and shook her head. "No, you stay here with me."

At the same time, she fiercely cursed the system in her mind. ’Aren’t you a childbirth system? You can’t even block a little pain?’

’Host, you don’t have any Points yet. Blocking pain requires an exchange of Points.’

’Are you even human? Oh, right! You’re not!’ She gasped in pain, taking a deep breath to clear her head.

’What kind of garbage system works me like a horse without even feeding me properly? There are no benefits at all, you just make me pop out cubs! I’m not doing it anymore! Unbind from me right now!’

Losing her mind from the pain, she cursed the system while tightly clutching Xin Feng.

Seeing the tears streaming down her face from the pain, Xin Feng’s anxiety was written all over his face.

"Wanwan, giving birth is very dangerous. I have to go find the Clan Witch to make sure you’re safe. Please, let go. I’ll be quick, I promise. I’ll be right back to stay with you."

Bai Wanwan felt waves of force churning inside her belly, and the pain was so intense that even breathing hurt.

And the pain was only intensifying over time.

The system was speaking in her mind, and Xin Feng seemed to be talking as well.

But she was in too much pain to concentrate, so she just kept shaking her head at Xin Feng.

In that moment, Xin Feng wished he could be the one to give birth for her.

But if he gave in, Wanwan would be in danger.

Gritting his teeth, he firmly pulled Bai Wanwan’s hand away.

"Wanwan, don’t be scared. I’ll be right back."

With that, he turned and disappeared from the cave entrance.

The rain outside was much lighter than it had been in the first few days, but it still drizzled on and on.

Bai Wanwan cursed the system’s entire family tree.

The system, Hua Sheng, kindly reminded her, ’Host, I am a string of code. I do not have a family tree.’

’Well, you do now! If you let this pain continue, I’m never giving birth again! Don’t even think about using me as your tool! OWW!’

She felt another kick from within, and the pain made her roll over on the bed.

She wished she could just cut open her own stomach and chuck the cubs out.

’Host, I can’t help you block the pain. Please stop cursing.’ The curses were so foul that even the system could barely stand to listen.

’I’ll curse if I want to! I hope you give birth to a system with no butthole, throw away your own son, and raise some random embryo instead...’

After her tirade, she threatened through gritted teeth, ’If you let this pain continue, I swear I won’t listen to you anymore! As for the other Beast Husbands, I won’t accept a single one!’

The system was stunned silent by her curses, and a little frightened.

It started to worry that she would actually defy it, refusing to mate with any other males and not having any more cubs.

The hosts bound by the system were all selected after extensive evaluation; they couldn’t just be bound to anyone.

’If this host really works against me,’ it thought, ’how will I ever complete my mission?’

’Host, let me try applying on your behalf. I’ll see if I can get you permission to use Points in advance to block the pain.’

’Then hurry up! Two minutes! I’ll give you two minutes, max. If you can’t do it in two minutes, you can just get lost, you useless system!’

The system fell silent. Bai Wanwan was drenched in a cold sweat, her stomach feeling like it was being kicked over and over again.

Suddenly, the stone door to the cave was pushed open.

Bai Wanwan thought Xin Feng had returned and was about to call out to him.

But instead, she saw Xin Shan standing in the doorway.

"Wanwan?"

Bai Wanwan was in too much pain to speak.

Xin Shan called out her name. When there was no answer, he continued deeper into the cave.

He soon found Bai Wanwan lying on the bed, her face ashen.

His expression changed drastically, his face filled with concern. "Wanwan, what’s wrong?"

Just a moment ago, he’d heard a commotion, and when he opened his door, he saw the figure of Xin Feng running off into the distance.

Worried that something had happened, he thought for a moment before deciding to come over and check.

And this was the sight that greeted him.

Just then, the system returned and spoke in her mind. ’Host, I’ve successfully applied for you to use Points in advance for a painless birth. However, it must be repaid at double the cost.’

’Just deduct it! Stop wasting my time!’

The moment the thought ended, the intense pain vanished. She felt a wave of emptiness, and then something rolled out from beneath her leather skirt.

"WAAH..."

The faint cries of several cubs echoed through the empty cave.

Xin Shan stared at the palm-sized cubs that had rolled onto the stone bed, completely stunned.

"Wanwan, you gave birth to four cubs..."

Bai Wanwan felt as if she had just finished a strenuous workout. With the pain gone, her eyelids felt incredibly heavy.

She forced her eyelids open to glance at the mottled white Cat Cub in his palm, thought ’So ugly,’ and then passed out.

"Wanwan..."

Xin Shan called her name twice, but she didn’t respond.

The cub in his palm wriggled, nearly rolling off his hand.

Startled, Xin Shan quickly cupped his hand, letting it roll back to the center.

The newborn cub’s eyes hadn’t opened yet. It had no fur; its skin was bare...

Yet, to Xin Shan, it was beautiful no matter how he looked at it.

There were three more cubs on the bed. Two of them were noticeably larger and looked stronger than the other two.

He placed the Cat Cub from his palm down and gently teased the four cubs who were crying out in hunger.

"Are you hungry? You’ll have to wait for your Mother to wake up..."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that the markings on the two larger cubs were different from those of an ordinary cat.

They didn’t look like cats... more like tigers?

Tigers?

Xin Shan’s head snapped around to look at the unconscious Bai Wanwan.

He had always assumed the cubs in Wanwan’s belly were Xin Feng’s, which was why she had been so determined to choose Xin Feng as her Beast Husband.

But Xin Feng was a Silver Wolf, and not one of the four cubs was a Silver Wolf.

And in the entire Cat Clan Tribe, there was only one Foreign Beastman who was a Tiger Beastman.

’Could it be that Wanwan’s litter of cubs belongs to him?’

A mix of emotions washed over him as the cubs stumbled and crawled around him, hugging his hand and gnawing on it.

As he watched the little cubs, Xin Shan’s gaze softened.

’Whether these cubs are Chou Rong’s or not,’ he thought, ’Wanwan had her reasons for not making him her Beast Husband.’

When Xin Feng returned with the Clan Witch, he saw Xin Shan sitting to one side. The four cubs were huddled together, apparently asleep.

The Clan Witch stepped forward, carefully inspecting each of the cubs before checking on Bai Wanwan. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

"As expected of a Holy Female. To birth four cubs in one litter, and all of them are cubs with Talent."

She even managed to give birth so smoothly without any help.

Her words made both Xin Shan and Xin Feng turn their gazes to the cubs.

"All four cubs have Talent?"

"And their Talent isn’t low, either. These two are at least Green Level."

Seeing the Clan Witch point toward the two tiger cubs, Xin Shan immediately shifted his body, trying to block the view.

The cubs were still small, and tiger cubs could easily be mistaken for cat cubs. You couldn’t tell the difference at all without a close look.

Chou Rong didn’t seem to know that Wanwan’s cubs were his, either. Since Wanwan didn’t want anyone to know, he would help her keep the secret.
