Mouse Mountain Tribe.
Today is the coming-of-age day of their tribe's only holy woman, the most celebrated day in the tribe.
All the single male orcs came to the priest's altar, hoping to be chosen by the Holy Maiden.
"Thank you for staying in our Rat Mountain tribe. With you, our tribe will surely become even stronger in the future!"
Zhou Ruanruan was very satisfied with the clan chief's warm attitude. She nodded slightly, as she had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
The priest, expressionless, carried out the ritual with his cane. The last drop of vermilion fell onto Zhou Ruanruan's forehead, marking the end of the ceremony.
"You can choose your beastman now."
As soon as the priest finished speaking, the chieftain ordered all the male beastmen to come before Zhou Ruanruan for her to choose from.
"Obsidian, come here, my first beast husband."
A burly young man stepped forward. He was the chieftain's son and the only orc in the tribe to reach the fifth rank. Becoming the Holy Female's first beast husband was well-deserved, so no one was surprised.
"And there are Rat One and Rat Two."
These two male orcs, who were also at the fourth level of combat strength, came happily to her side after Zhou Ruanruan called their names.
"Chief, have all the single males in the clan arrived?"
Zhou Ruanruan looked around but still couldn't see that person, so she frowned and asked.
The clan chief paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something. He quickly looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Old Lin, where is your son?"
“Chief, my son… he has someone he loves, he already has a partner.”
The forestry department replied helplessly.
"Is it that Shi Nu ginger tea?"
"Exactly."
"Ridiculous! Even if she hadn't left, would you really let your son marry a barren woman?"
"..."
"Besides, it's been more than half a month. Do you think a small female can survive outside for that long? She's probably already dead."
The clan leader didn't mean to make things difficult for Lin Bei, but Zhou Ruanruan had told him a couple of days ago that she was interested in Lin Bei, and he had already agreed. How could he let this brat lose face?
"Go and call your son here, quickly."
Seeing that the clan chief was determined to have Lin Bei and the Holy Female become partners, Lin Ye couldn't refuse, so he sighed and went to find someone himself.
At this moment, Lin Bei didn't care about the Holy Female at all. He had already left the Rat Mountain Tribe and was searching for the whereabouts of Ginger Tea in more distant places.
With his years of hunting experience and his third-tier strength, he was already able to hunt alone and fight the nearby wild beasts to a standstill.
He retreated when faced with the strong and killed when faced with the weak. In just half a month, he rose to the fourth rank due to his relentless killing.
The entire tribe knew that he was the orc who hunted the most food by himself.
He is also the most devoted male orc!
…………………………
In just half a month, Jiang Cha's belly visibly grew bigger, and now everyone knows she's pregnant.
Her identity as a stone woman was thus exposed without any further investigation.
When Kovi learned that Jiang Cha was pregnant, he was somewhat saddened, but he was even happier to know that she was not impotent.
But for her health's sake, they stopped letting her see doctors, saying they were afraid she would get too tired.
Jiang Cha didn't refuse, but she was really bored, so she went to Little Curly's house every day to watch him treat other beastmen.
"Hey, don't apply it like that, it'll make the wound heal even slower."
"These two medicines cannot be put together. Although they can treat his injury, they will cause him diarrhea."
"This herb is poisonous! How could you put it in?"
"..."
Looking at the flawed treatment process, Jiang Cha could only sigh and say, "The wolf-like beastmen are incredibly lucky!"
Since she became pregnant, Li Bai has been examining her every day, and she always leaves with a look of utter disbelief.
She often muttered to herself, "Impossible! How can a female with a virginity condition get pregnant?"
"The world is full of wonders; it just means you're not skilled enough."
Jiang Cha would naturally not admit that she became pregnant because she took a fertility pill.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curly-haired boy left looking dejected.
She touched her bulging belly, still somewhat dazed, never expecting that she would become a mother so soon.
The wolf king who vowed never to abandon her has not come to see her for two days. Sure enough, not every man is willing to become a father unexpectedly.
Ignoring the slight disappointment in her heart, Jiang Cha went to the herbs she was drying.
These were all picked by her around the tribe, and some were brought back by Kovi from outside.
She plans to dry the herbs and grind them into powder. Some will be made into sleeping pills for self-defense, while others will be made into pills for treating illnesses. This way, they will be convenient to store in her space and take them out when needed.
Clang!
Lost in thought for a moment, he spilled the medicinal herbs from the basket all over the ground.
Jiang Cha touched her belly and carefully bent down to pick it up.
Unexpectedly, someone else picked it up for her before she could.
"Cha Cha, go sit over there and rest. I'll take care of it."
The man in front of her had long silver hair that fell to his chest, and his handsome face was full of fatigue. He spoke to her with a cautiousness.
"Thanks."
I didn't force myself to drink ginger tea, but unexpectedly, in just half a month, my belly was almost like that of a seven-month pregnant woman.
The gestation period for rats is relatively short, only one month.
But she couldn't calculate it according to common sense; she estimated that she was definitely carrying more than one baby.
Last night I felt a lot of little feet kicking inside my belly, but it seemed to quiet down after a while, and she didn't make much noise.
She took a stool and sat by the door, watching the silver fox diligently help her tidy up the medicinal herbs.
"It's only been seven or eight days since I last saw you, but I feel like my whole world has collapsed."
Feng Mu suddenly spoke softly, his eyes red as he looked up at her, "Didn't you say you wouldn't become partners with Kovi?"
There was an undisguised resentment in his words. Jiang Cha wanted to explain, but when she thought about how he had lied to her on their first meeting, she changed the subject, "Didn't you also tell me you were a rabbit?"
Feng Mu pursed her red lips, and tears instantly welled up in her large, red eyes. "If I say I'm not a rabbit, will you let me go?"
Ginger Tea: "..."
To be honest, this silver fox does look quite like a rabbit when it cries.
She touched her nose, feeling a little guilty. "Well, let's not talk about this for now. I didn't blame you... Why did you suddenly cry? It's like I bullied you."
"You didn't bully me, I just couldn't help feeling sad."
After Feng Mu finished packing the medicinal herbs, he helped her carry them into the house.
"Can you walk with me for a bit?"
He bent down and reached out his hand, his fox-like eyes very close. Jiang Cha could even see tiny teardrops clinging to his long eyelashes.
A beautiful woman's tears evoke pity, especially her current look of being on the verge of tears.
It's so good that even ginger tea is hard to refuse.
It seems like this kid has a broken personality since he came back.
"All right."
Jiang Cha helped him to his feet with difficulty and followed him toward the remote part of the tribe.
She had left some life-saving medicine in her space, so she wasn't afraid that this kid might suddenly do something to her.
