Chapter 1214: Chapter 877: Which Tribe’s Baby Do You Like? (Part 2)

The door was pushed open.

Jia Lan walked in with dishes and rice porridge, and instantly stumbled upon the scene of the two embracing. He coughed lightly and immediately turned around to leave, "Breakfast is ready. Freshen up and don’t let the food get cold."

Shen Tang blushed and quickly called Jia Lan back, "It’s nothing, just put it on the table. We weren’t doing anything!"

Jia Lan turned halfway back, placed the cooked meat porridge and dishes on the table, and seeing that their clothes were still relatively neat, realized Lu Xiao wasn’t so reckless, especially with the female being pregnant.

The family of three sat down for breakfast.

Shen Tang turned and looked around, noticing someone was missing, and asked, "Where is Xiao Jin? Why isn’t he here for breakfast?"

The beast husbands each have their own palace. When Shen Tang isn’t home, they each handle their own affairs. Most of the time, they solve their hunger on their own, rarely gathering to eat.

But when Shen Tang is home, the beast husbands gather together for three meals a day, just like an ordinary family.

Jia Lan casually remarked, "Who knows? Yesterday, after hearing you’re pregnant with an eagle child, maybe he felt unbalanced and went out to clear his mind."

"Xiao Jin... wouldn’t be angry, right?" The joy on Shen Tang’s face slightly faded. Xiao Jin really wanted to have children with her, and she had even heard from his deputy about how he privately collected parenting books and often helped the brothers at the camp with their kids.

Xiao Jin must be very disappointed now, otherwise, the next baby would be his turn.

But Shen Li also wants to have a child with her soon.

Sigh, having too many beast husbands is troublesome, even having babies requires negotiations.

Suddenly, Shen Tang lost her appetite, biting her chopsticks, looking forlorn with her cheeks puffed up.

Lu Xiao found her adorable despite the bittersweet situation, though he felt a bit uneasy. This kind of thing shouldn’t trouble the female, that stubborn leopard is being too headstrong! But he was in no position to blame anyone and could only comfort her, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen."

Jia Lan sliced a piece of fragrant pan-fried salmon for her, "That dumb leopard wouldn’t hurt himself over this. Males aren’t that fragile, and it’s not like you can’t have babies anymore. Worst case, give him a little leopard later."

Realizing her two beast husbands weren’t too concerned, yet still somewhat worried, Shen Tang planned to finish her meal and head out to search for him. But then, an excited howl came from outside.

"Awoo!"

The beast clan’s calls sound similar, but Shen Tang immediately recognized it as Xiao Jin.

The black panther brought a fully-dead deer beast into the courtyard, its fur stained with fresh blood from the wound, still steaming, indicating it had died no more than ten minutes ago.

This deer beast was extremely unusual, its size was over twice that of an ordinary deer beast, with a peculiar light red-colored fur. Its antlers were huge, intertwined like branches, gleaming like blood jade marrow, slightly translucent.

Jia Lan and Lu Xiao hurried to help with the prey, surprised, "Nice going, you smelly leopard! Managed to catch a Blood Marrow Jade Deer! It’s even rarer than a Blood Essence Deer, only a few are seen in the Empire’s market each year."

Lu Xiao also exclaimed, "Blood Marrow Jade Deer is immensely nourishing, its whole body is a treasure. Deer blood is great for females to replenish, and there’s a red marrow in the antlers and leg bones listed as a nourishing delicacy, very beneficial for pregnant females."

Xiao Jin snorted proudly, wagging his tail with pride, "I found this gem thousands of kilometers away in the Danhua Mountain Range, it’s a fast runner, ordinary people can’t catch it, but I managed to bring it here quickly!"

Lu Xiao and Jia Lan didn’t want to dirty the courtyard, so they took the prey to the designated processing warehouse.

Xiao Jin sprinted to Shen Tang’s side, rubbing against her waist in a spoiled manner, awaiting praise.

Shen Tang didn’t expect Xiao Jin to stay out all night, realizing it was to catch prey for her, surprised, "You’re, not angry anymore?"

"Awoo?" Xiao Jin tilted his head in confusion, "Why would I be angry?"

Shen Tang was speechless, "Jia Lan said... Last night you left after hearing about my pregnancy and didn’t come back, I thought..."

Xiao Jin chuckled, "Silly, you’re pregnant, I couldn’t be happier!"

Okay, he was indeed a bit disappointed for a moment, after all, a female’s first child means a lot at home, symbolizing the favored beast husband. But after the initial emotion, he quickly understood—After Shen Tang gives birth, Lu Xiao would be busy hatching the egg, meaning he could monopolize her for a long while.

Xiao Jin quickly turned his worries into joy, imagining a wonderful future, he was nearly overjoyed.

Unaware of the leopard’s little thoughts, Shen Tang touched the blood-stained fur and urged, " You’re filthy, go take a bath."

"Awoo~" Busy bringing back the prey, Xiao Jin hadn’t bathed yet, caught a smell from his body, and hurriedly rushed into the room for a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, then held Shen Tang and gave her a kiss, taking a sweet reward.

Still fearing he might be harboring emotions, Shen Tang asked again, "Are you really not angry?"

"Jealous, that’s true!" Xiao Jin pinched her cheek, smiling radiantly, his golden eyes akin to the dawn’s first light, "But now, nothing is as important as your health. I just want you to have a safe birth, anything you want to eat, let me know, I’ll catch it for you."

Never really having interacted with female peers or elder females, Xiao Jin had researched well, knowing female childbirth is far more painful than he imagined, with unavoidable complications, and sometimes resulting in labor fatalities!

Although Shen Tang has the Healing Ability, easing such worries, the physical toll is undeniable... More than emotions, Xiao Jin was keener on caring for her.

Shen Tang gazed at the young man before her, sighing lightly, chuckling, realizing Xiao Jin had long transformed from that rebellious Major General into someone gentle and attentive.

She hooked his neck, whispered by his ear, "I’ll definitely have a little leopard for you in the future."

Xiao Jin’s breath hitched, his heart seemingly ablaze, his eyes slightly reddened with excitement.

Yet soon he snapped back from joy, shaking his head, "No rush. Rest well after you’ve given birth, I can learn how to care for a child then."

Shen Tang poked his chest, smiled reassuringly, "Yeah! You’ve really grown up."

"Grown what up?" Xiao Jin’s ears reddened, his gaze became flirtatious.

Shen Tang:... Hard to change a leopard’s nature!

Praising too soon!
