Jiang Cha must have contracted some strange illness, after all, how could a woman with barren skin get pregnant?
I always feel that her coming back at this time is never a good thing.
The clan chief frowned and said with displeasure, "It's possible that you'll have to find a different beastwoman for your wife."
"Now that you're back, why change again?"
Before Zhou Ruanruan even looked in that direction, she began to feel a little smug.
She said it herself, where in this world is there such a devoted orc?
When the three men approached, the smile on her face froze.
The surrounding beastmen were also excited and couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
"Is it Jiang Cha who's back?"
"She's just a barren woman. She's back now, so let's not disturb the Holy Mother's selection of husbands."
"Is Jiang Cha pregnant? That's impossible, women with barren skin can't get pregnant."
"Yes, I also think it's impossible for her to be pregnant; she must be faking it."
"Why don't we ask the high priest to check? There's no point in us guessing."
"It's quite impressive that a weak female can live outside for more than half a month. Lin Bei has finally gotten his wish."
"So they really do have a deep bond!"
"..."
Most of the orcs meant no harm; they were just curious about Jiang Cha's pregnant belly.
The clan chief immediately stepped forward and asked, "Jiang Cha, what's wrong with you...?"
"We'll know if we let the high priest come and see for himself."
Jiang Cha held Lin Bei's arm, her expression calm.
"Sister! Sister, is that you? You're finally back!"
The most excited person was Jiang Lu, who rushed out of the crowd, but was blocked by Lin Bei before he could get close.
After joining the hunting team, he began to kill. He was also very talented and advanced to the third rank in just half a month. Although he was not as good as Lin Bei, he was still considered one of the best in the clan.
Unfortunately, he was too young to participate in the selection of the Holy Mother's beast husband, and could only watch forlornly from the sidelines.
Think about it, he's been frantically trying to win her over for over a year, yet he doesn't even qualify as a potential husband.
Every day, she could only watch male orcs with higher combat strength than her surround Zhou Ruanruan, leaving her unable to spare any attention.
He was always the one who ended up alone.
Only after Jiang Cha left did he realize that she was the only one in the world who cared about him.
"Can a barren woman get pregnant? I'm going to find the High Priest right now!"
Before the chieftain could say anything, curious orcs immediately went to invite High Priest Ragu, and everyone was eagerly awaiting the results of the High Priest's investigation.
Lin Bei's father, Lin Ye, had been struggling with this decision.
Now, seeing his son's heart and eyes filled with ginger tea, he is no longer as lifeless as before.
He sighed softly and looked at Jiang Cha, saying, "Jiang girl, I'm sorry. Whether you are really pregnant or not, I hope you won't leave again. My son cares about you too much. From now on, whenever you need me, I can do three things for you unconditionally as an apology."
He was not even forty years old, but he looked much older in just half a month. Jiang Cha understood him; parents always worry about their children.
She just won't forgive him easily.
She nodded indifferently and turned to look at her childhood sweetheart.
"Lin Bei, you know it's..."
"Yes, Acha, I'm sorry. I'm so glad you're alright, otherwise I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life..."
"Never mind, it's none of your business. But I've agreed to the three things your father promised, and I won't let him off easily."
"Acha, since your father promised you, then do as you please."
"Um."
Jiang Cha's eyes crinkled with a smile, and she loved how the boy was so love-struck.
"Sister, I was wrong before. I still have your room saved for you. You...you can come back and stay tonight."
Seeing that they were chatting happily, Jiang Lu reluctantly joined in.
"We'll see."
Jiang Cha didn't refuse directly; she was already thinking about how to deal with the original owner's younger brother.
Killing him would be too much, but keeping him alive would feel unsettling.
It would be better to just beat him up and then sever ties.
"Sister, are you really pregnant?"
If you haven't been completely rejected, there's still hope for reconciliation.
Jiang Lu looked at her belly with excitement in his eyes, "If you weren't a stone woman, there would definitely be many people in the tribe willing to be your beast husband, and then we could live in a better cave."
Jiang Cha gained a new understanding of his shamelessness and sneered, "No matter how many beast husbands I have, it has nothing to do with you."
"Sister, how can it be nothing? We're siblings, you haven't forgiven me yet, have you?"
What do you think?
"Sister, I've already apologized to you, what more do you want?"
Jiang Lu felt wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes. Seeing that she still had no reaction, she stomped her foot and ran away.
He kept turning back to see her reaction, but in the end he found that Jiang Cha didn't even look at him, so he cried even harder.
This time I really cried.
She's sixteen years old, yet she's still as immature as a child who never grew up. The original owner bears an undeniable responsibility for being spoiled like this.
I don't know where the original owner went. I'll ask her again when she gives birth to the baby and the system is reactivated.
After all, he was the original owner's younger brother. She was using the original owner's body, and it wouldn't be good to kill her only relative directly.
Jiang Cha ignored her younger brother, who was crying and running away.
At this moment, High Priest Ragu walked over, leaning on his cane.
She glanced at Jiang Cha with some surprise, her sharp eyes sweeping over her stomach with a suspicious look, and hurried over to her.
