Pleasant times always pass too quickly.

Two weeks later, the snow began to melt, the river became turbulent again, and the branches on the trees sprouted new buds.

The cold snow season has passed, and the flower season has arrived.

After lunch.

In the height of summer, she sat in a rocking chair in the yard, watching the green vines that had retreated from the tree to form a protective shield.

Once the protective cover was removed, the yard was revealed to be full of tender green leaves, with a few yellowed leaves occasionally falling down.

After a snowy season, the leaves, having been deprived of sunlight for a long time, turned yellow, but they were still beautiful.

Shengxia leaned back in her rocking chair, letting it sway gently, and comfortably closed her eyes, saying in a sweet, soft voice,

"The flower season is so nice; it feels so good to be in the sun."

“Yes, it’s true, the kids don’t need to wear so many clothes during their teenage years, and it’s easier for them to play.” Tie Bai chimed in with a smile.

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and deftly peeled half a durian, then picked up a piece and brought it to Sheng Xia's lips.

"Xiaxia, do you want to go out and play?"

"I don't want to play, I want to rest at home today..." Shengxia chewed on the durian, the soft, sweet taste making her squint her eyes happily.

The sales went very well over the past two weeks, and the pregnant female had enough shell coins to successfully continue until delivery.

One after another, females who had just given birth asked her to come and see them, and she's been so busy these past few days that she hasn't had a moment to rest.

Finally, I can sunbathe in peace and not go anywhere!

Who knows, another orc might come knocking on the door to invite them soon.

Just then, they heard the anxious voice of a male outside the door.

"Envoy Xia, is Envoy Xia at home? My Nana is about to give birth, and she suddenly fainted because she didn't have enough coins. The baby's head is already coming out. Please come and take a look."

Not enough shell coins? The little brat's already showing?

I'm almost ready to give birth but I don't have enough coins. It's dangerous if I faint halfway through giving birth. If I'm late, the babies will suffocate. I might even accidentally break the delicate babies' bones!

Sheng Xia broke out in a cold sweat, sat up abruptly, and jumped towards Tie Bai with her arms outstretched, her sweet, soft voice filled with urgency.

"Ah Bai, come with me."

"Okay." Tie Bai skillfully bent his knees to catch her, bounced her up a bit, hugged her tightly, and walked outside.

The children behind her stared at the swaying empty rocking chair with their wet eyes. Sheng Wan pouted with heartache, her voice soft and sweet.

"If only my superpowers were stronger."

This will help with the treatment and allow Mom to rest properly. Mom works so hard, she's so great, and she's so pitiful.

"Waaah... Mom hasn't slept well in so long, when will she be able to get a good night's sleep?"

How can a female not get proper sleep?

When she cried, the other cubs couldn't help but cry too.

Aoki was startled. He put down the vines he was holding, ran over, squatted down, and hugged Wan'er, comforting her with heartache.

"Wan'er, be good, don't cry, crying won't help. All the pregnant women are giving birth recently. I just asked today and there are still more than twenty who haven't given birth yet. Your mother is still very busy!"

Sheng Wan paused briefly, tilted her head back, blinked, a tear slid down her cheek, and she opened her mouth wide to cry out in grievance.

"Waaah... Daddy Aoki is naughty, he doesn't want Mommy to be busy."

Hearing the cries of the babies, Yang Yun rushed out of the kitchen, not even having time to put down the knife in her hand.

He called out anxiously before even reaching the living room.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't be afraid, baby, Daddy's here... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Daddy's here, Daddy's here."

After understanding the cause and effect, Yang Yun's peach blossom eyes turned cold, her sharp gaze piercing Qingmu as she reprimanded him in a low voice.

How could you scare Wan'er and the others?

Look how scared the little one is, his eyes are all red from crying.

After speaking, she lowered her eyes and looked at Sheng Wan, whose nose was red from crying, with heartache. She gently wiped away her tears and comforted her softly with a hint of caution in her cool voice.

Aoki scratched his head, standing there dumbfounded.

Did he say something wrong again?

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Shengxia arrived, the delivery went smoothly. The babies were very strong and were born safely and smoothly. All five babies cried loudly.

"Waaaaaah..."

Shengxia breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew her hand from the female's abdomen, and the green light dissipated. She looked at the sweating little female with a gentle smile and said with pity,

"Four male cubs and one female cub, all healthy. You can rest assured and go back now. If you need anything, have your partner call me."

"Thank you! Thank you, Your Excellency!" The female was excited and grateful, her complex emotions coalescing into a powerful statement.

For several days in a row, Sheng Xia was so busy that she barely had time to breathe, and even had to go out to work overtime at night.

She was physically exhausted but felt exceptionally comfortable.

Witnessing so many new lives filled the animal with emotion.

That afternoon, after returning from "delivering" a baby, she fell asleep with her heavy eyelids resting on Tie Bai's shoulder.

The setting sun cast very long shadows of the two beasts.

Tie Bai turned his head with heartache to look at the exhausted little female; even in her sleep, her brows were gently furrowed...

No, Xiaxia will get sick if this continues.

"We need to think of a solution. We can't keep letting Xiaxia keep running around like this. She was called out right after she went to sleep last night, and she finally got back from her busy work, but she was called away again before she could even take off her clothes..."

Looking at her partner, who was sleeping restlessly in Tie Bai's arms, Hu Xue said softly with heartache.

His narrow, fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing within them. He blinked, then looked up, his expression once again harmless.

"Isn't that snake-wielding witch doctor a big fan of Sister Xiaxia? Let's promote him!" Let him go and get busy.

If all else fails, we can upgrade that brat Leopard Spring...

In short, we can't let her keep running around like this.

Wolf King lowered his head thoughtfully, looking at his tired partner with self-reproach, the heartache in his eyes almost tangible.

He lowered his voice and spoke gently, "I'll make the arrangements."

We should definitely find a solution in time. After the snow season, food will gradually become more plentiful, and there will only be more pregnant females than fewer. Xiaxia can't go to every female herself.

Xiaxia was too tired, and he understood that in this situation, even arriving a little later could lead to an accident.

Both the female and the cubs will be in danger...

His Xiaxia is more important than any other orc, and pregnant females are also very important to the tribe.

How can we make Xiaxia less tired while still ensuring the female can give birth safely?

It seems there's no good solution for now...

Thinking of this, Wolf King raised his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He looked calmly at Yang Yun and spoke in a gentle, pleasant voice.

"Let Xiaxia rest well and guard the gate. If there are any pregnant females... let the snake-wielding witch doctor and others handle what they can."

Yang Yun looked up in surprise, nodded decisively, and smiled shyly, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining with an unusual brilliance.

"Okay." Xiaxia can finally rest.

Wolf King smiled gently as he looked at Shengxia in Tie Bai's arms, lovingly smoothing her furrowed brows with his fingertips.

Seeing her brows relax, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He looked up and said softly,

"Alright, you guys keep an eye on Xiaxia. I'm going to the chief's house now to discuss what to do."
