"You can't eat this." The serpent beastman kept a close eye on Si Yan all day long in the cave.

Si Yan looked at the roasted meat in front of her, then looked at the male who was so controlling of her with a wronged expression.

"I want to eat meat, this fatty kind. You used to make it especially for me, why won't you let me now?"

"I know there aren't many supplies right now, but I'm pregnant and I'm really craving something sweet."

"Great Demon King, please..."

He watched as his female master began to act coquettishly towards him, but the snake-beastman remained unmoved.

"Xiuwu said that you shouldn't eat too much fatty meat. Yanyan, I made you some lean meat. If you don't like it, I'll try to make a few more flavors with your seasonings."

The cold-blooded serpent beastman, who originally knew nothing about cooking and only ate raw meat, now makes very delicious cooked food.

"Xiuwu also said that since you are an omnivore, you should eat more fruits and vegetables so that the baby won't be too big and the delivery will be much smoother."

Si Yan persisted, "Did the shaman say that the female's emotions are also very important during pregnancy, and that we should go along with the female's emotions?"

Anaconda Beastman: "No."

Then, he gave Si Yan the lean meat he had prepared, which was dry-roasted with absolutely no oil.

Si Yan: "..."

Looking at the dry, shriveled meat, Si Yan had absolutely no appetite under the scorching sun.

"I think I'll eat some fruits and vegetables instead." Si Yan leaned back.

"Okay, I'll get it to you right away."

The gecko appeared on Si Yan's shoulder and said, "Grandson, your beast husband seems a little too tense."

His face was expressionless, but his emotions were constantly tense and very strained.

Si Yan also said, "I don't think I have pregnancy anxiety, but the big devil has."

Si Yan was also a little curious about this.

"Old gecko, isn't it interesting? A villain actually cares a lot about his wife."

Gecko: "I see you in Versailles."

Si Yan: "Haha."

Although Wang's reaction made Si Yan feel slightly suppressed, she could still understand him.

After all, in the rules of the beast world, if the female master is in trouble, none of the males can escape.

"I'll try my best to cooperate with him. Sigh, I'm a pregnant woman, and I have to take care of my husband's pregnancy anxiety."

Si Yan found the cave a bit stuffy, so she picked up Dong Chi and Nan Mo, who were hibernating in the cave, and held them at the cave entrance. Then she fetched some water, wiped their bodies, and fed them some water.

When the cold-blooded serpent beastman returned, he saw her taking care of the cubs and immediately rushed over.

"What about Tyson? Let Tyson do these unimportant little things. Didn't I tell Tyson to take these two snakes with him?!"

He's usually not a talkative person, but he said so much in one breath.

Si Yan said, "Great Demon King, the baby in my belly is my baby, and Dong Chi and Nan Mo are also my babies. You take care of me, and I'll take care of the babies."

The snake-beastman's face tightened. "You don't need to take care of anyone. If you feel hot in the cave, I'll lay out a mat for you so you can cool off here."

Si Yan had no choice but to listen to him and went to the cave as he arranged.

He was preparing to chase away the two kids he found annoying once again.

The cold-blooded serpent beastman hadn't slept well for many days, and there were even some dark circles under his eyes.

Si Yan quickly said softly, "Great Demon King, lie down with me for a bit, I need to lean on you."

The anaconda beastman had no choice but to temporarily give up chasing away the two cubs and returned to Si Yan's side.

Si Yan leaned against him, feeling much more comfortable both physically and mentally. She chatted with him reassuringly.

"Great Demon King, do you remember I told you before how the males in my village address their mates?"

The anaconda beastman paused for a moment, then said, "I don't remember."

Si Yan suddenly sat up and said, "If you've forgotten, I'll teach you again now."

The male snake's tail coiled around her, its tip pressing her back down with a firm yet gentle touch.

A cool, husky male voice sounded in her ear.

"Baby."

"baby."

"Wife."

He paused slightly after each word he spoke.

The deep, magnetic voice carried a subtle hint of affection, so sweet it was almost intoxicating.

He actually remembered!

Si Yan was excited. She said enthusiastically, "Great Demon King, let me tell you, the village where I live is called Earth Village."

Wang looked at Si Yan with a hint of doubt.

Isn't it the City of Ten Thousand Beasts?

Global village? I don't think I've ever heard of that.

Is this village big?

He thought for a while, then asked, "Is the global village far away? In the village, if you form a contract with a partner, what are the rules?"

When the topic of her past life finally came up, Si Yan was quite excited. She turned to the side and looked at She Wang with a smile.

"It's far, very far. And the rules for contractual partners are really numerous over there."

The male listened attentively.

Si Yan said, "Where we're from, if there's a contract, it means marriage. Do you understand marriage? It's about having a grand wedding, where the couple exchanges diamond rings. A diamond ring is a beautiful band you wear on your finger, something sparkly. Then, at the wedding, they solemnly announce to everyone that we're together! From this day forward, these two people will be inseparable, through life and death."

Then, after getting married, you'll receive a marriage certificate, which is a red booklet. That booklet tells everyone that the two people are legally together.

What is a notebook?

"It's something like a contract plaque."

The male nodded.

Si Yan reminisced about the past.

When she was in college, the world was still a beautiful place, before it was invaded by zombies. The zombie invasion happened after she went to college.

After the zombie invasion, where are weddings and marriage certificates anymore?

Those are things from peacetime.

Just as the male was listening intently to Si Yan, the silver wolf beastman Yin Hong hurriedly ran over.

"My lord, my lady, a large number of fox people have suddenly appeared outside the Swamp Valley. They say they want to return and join forces with the Illusory Territory."

Si Yan's gentle expression turned cold at that moment.

The fact that the fox people did not follow the snake-beastmen when they left indicates that they believed the only place where they could survive was Dark Sun Lake, and that following the snake-beastmen would mean certain death.

How do they know that the snake-beastmen have solved the water problem, and how did they find their way here?

Clearly, this is another scheme by Jie Ling, that invincible cockroach.

The gecko spoke in real time: "Grandson, although the female lead of this world is annoying, don't forget that she's just a pawn. Your goal is to tear the heavens apart."

"I know, I know."

The cold-blooded demon king's emotions were written all over his face. He said in a cold voice, "Tell them to get out."

Si Yan stopped She Wang, "Wait a minute."

She said with a smile, "They've come all this way, how can we let them leave like this?"

"They are, after all, subjects of the illusory realm."
