Mingming had finally managed to get his family's life back on track, and it seemed like he could be as happy as other families.

"This matter has nothing to do with you." She Rong suppressed the anger burning in his heart and simply said, "Even without you, she and I would still be separated."

These words stunned the children. Did this mean they were the ones who upset their father?

CatDodo quickly guessed what Zaizai and the others were thinking, and with a displeased expression, she rebuked SnakeRong: "You shouldn't talk like that in front of Zaizai."

"So, are you going to keep putting on an act for me?" He glanced at him coldly.

Something's very wrong with this attitude.

However, the cat, Duoduo, had no intention of indulging the other party or playing with them.

"Serpent Rong, what are you thinking?"

"You may not like me, but you can't take it out on the kids."

Without saying a word, She Rong turned to leave. Cat Duo Duo was really angry. Even if the other party was going to become a very powerful beastman, it didn't mean that he could ignore and bully the little one like this.

Didn't he see that the kids were very down and looked like they were about to cry at any moment?

"That's enough, stop now."

She stepped forward and grabbed the other person tightly. "Don't wait until your child is this old before you can be a spineless coward and deny their existence. Don't make me look down on you."

She thought she could continue pretending with him, at least live a normal life, be a couple in name only, raise the children, and make them grow up happily.

As it turns out, she was overthinking it...

After speaking, Maoduo turned and ran away in anger. She didn't go far, her head was burning, and she sat on the old tree root, her mind filled with regret.

How did all this turn out like this? Damn it.

The sound of footsteps drew closer.

Cat Dodo became alert and suddenly turned its head to look.

As Gal approached, his expression was somewhat unnatural, and his voice was very soft, "I heard you two had a fight."

Maoduo's lips moved, as if she wanted to ask if this counted as an argument, but she quickly thought of Zaizai who had been dragged into this matter, and she felt a surge of anger.

"...I don't think I'm a good mother." She clearly thought she could be more reliable than the original owner, and could help her children grow up healthy and safe.

Gal didn't quite understand all of this, but said with utmost sincerity, "All I know is that since we met, you have always cared for and looked after Zai Zai and the others. They depend on you a lot."

"You're just trying to appease me, aren't you?" Cat Duoduo felt her temper subside and prepared to go back to find Zai Zai.

“I’m not lying.” Gal was about to speak when he heard footsteps again, from the little ones.

As if afraid of seeing Mao Duoduo leave, they rushed to her and nestled into her arms, softly saying, "Mommy, I missed you." Under their warmth, Mao Duoduo instantly regained her energy, and she wouldn't even mind meeting that Snake Rong guy again.

"If you give up, Mother will teach that annoying guy a lesson..."

The cubs exchanged glances, then stopped talking, pretending that the one Cat Duoduo had put into vengeful mode wasn't their biological father.

Father, you've really gone too far this time.

Everyone was also very warm and affectionate.

We sat here chatting and picked some black fungus.

When it was almost time, they went back. As they walked, Maoduo talked about how to cook black fungus, confidently saying that he would make a delicious dish that would surprise them.

Gal and his cubs eagerly awaited the arrival of the feast. This joyful atmosphere continued until they returned, where they found a male orc from the village standing outside the prepared banquet area.

The other party had a good temper and, upon seeing Mao Duoduo, took the initiative to state their purpose: "The clan leader asked me to come and invite you over."

"Hey, has something happened?" CatDodo thought to herself that she shouldn't have done anything in the past few days that would make the clan leader pay attention.

The male looked somewhat conflicted, his voice slightly lowered, "It's like this. A female in the village gave birth, and there wasn't enough time to send her to the city. She felt reassured having you around, so the chieftain asked me to invite you over..."

When Maoduo heard this, she was completely dumbfounded.

Goodness, it seems I've become a fertility goddess ahead of time.

However, these days, childbirth is a major challenge for females.

CatDodo had no reason to refuse, so she said something to everyone and followed the old man.

The female's cave was quite far, and along the way, the old male was talking about her family. Then, halfway there, they ran into their old nemesis—Rabbit Spirit.

The moment she caught sight of Mao Duoduo, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes, and she said, "Seriously? Judging by the direction you're going, are you heading to the home of the female who gave birth today?"

Cat Duoduo didn't speak, but just stared at the other person, knowing in her heart that Rabbit Ling'er was unlikely to say anything nice easily.

Sure enough, Rabbit Spirit said quietly, "No way, someone like you can't possibly do anything good. Going over like this, you'll probably bring bad luck and kill all the females..."

She was about to speak when a stone grazed her face.

She was just a hair's breadth away from being hurt; even Rabbit Spirit's breathing changed.

"Shut up!"

A tall orc walked slowly over, his eyes filled with hostility toward Rabbit Spirit.

"Cole, you're here. Let's go." The elderly man greeted him as he approached.

Upon hearing the address, Maoduo suddenly realized that this was the female's partner who was responsible for giving birth this time.

Goodness, her gaze towards Rabbit Spirit changed completely now. Rabbit Spirit was incredibly lucky that her partner overheard her talking nonsense.

Clearly, Rabbit Spirit recognized the male. She immediately put on the innocent and weak expression she used to show when dealing with the males in the village, and tried to go up and talk to him. However, at this moment, Cole's mind was only on his female who was about to give birth. With a cold face, he simply invited Cat Dodo to come with him.

"Okay." As long as you're not rude to Rabbit Spirit, we're good friends.

With a smile, CatDodo followed Cole to keep the female company.

Rabbit Spirit watched their retreating figures, her eyes flashing with malice. Only after they were completely out of sight did she whisper, "You'll regret this..."

The facts will eventually prove that she is far better than that useless cat, Dodo.

Giving birth is more difficult for females.

Even though Maoduoduo herself has no specific production experience.

She had a wealth of modern internet surfing experience, but that didn't stop her.

Good heavens! Now that she'd arrived, she finally understood why Siri and the others had invited her. It turned out this female clearly had a small pelvis, making childbirth very difficult.
