A hint of jealousy
On the other side, Archer sat in the cockpit of the flying ship, tapping his fingers on the console.
After some deep thought, he finally gave up the idea of returning directly to the main planet.
Considering the complexity of the current situation, he thought it would be too dangerous to go back directly, so it would be better to take a detour from other remote planets and plan slowly.
Although this will take a lot of time, the safety factor will be much higher.
Moreover, he thought of the baby in the little female's belly, and perhaps he could find a suitable place for her to give birth to the baby in peace.
Achilles recalled that before he left the Dark Forest, he knew almost nothing about the interstellar situation and the distribution of planets.
But after joining Caster Island, he made special efforts to study and gain an in-depth understanding of planets of different levels in many galaxies.
His tribe is located on a Class B planet, where technology is advanced and there are vast jungles rich in resources.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Achir's eyes. Perhaps, he could take Anrita back to his tribe.
The archbishop of the tribe is proficient in medicine. In the past, when a female in the tribe became pregnant, the archbishop was responsible for keeping the fetus safe. With his help, the female and the child would be safe.
After making up his mind, Archer stood up and strode towards the restaurant.
At this moment, Anrita was sitting in the restaurant, watching the interstellar news intently.
Aqir walked up to her, a gentle smile on his face, and asked softly, "How do you feel today?"
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes full of concern, and then asked, "Is your appetite okay?"
Anita has not had a good appetite these days. It’s not because the food on the spaceship is not to her liking, but because she is starting to have morning sickness.
Thinking back to the last time she was pregnant with the mermaid baby, she didn't have these reactions, so this time the situation made her a little flustered.
Anrita's face was a little pale. She looked at Aqir and smiled: "I'm fine."
Archer looked at her face and felt something was not right.
He was a little worried, but he had no relevant experience, so he cut some fruit for Anritsu, sat down beside her, opened the smart computer screen, and searched, "What causes females to lose their appetite, feel low, and have no energy after pregnancy? What should males do?"
Anrita couldn't help but laugh when he saw him searching for these things: "Why are you searching for these things? I told you it's okay, it's just morning sickness, it will be fine after a while."
Aqir's expression remained solemn, and he whispered to Anrita, "Pregnancy is a big deal. We must take every little thing seriously and not be careless."
Anita didn't know what to say because of his serious look, so she just sat aside and ate the fruit with a small fork.
Soon, the search results came out. Aqir leaned in and read: "As a male, of course you must always stay with the female and use your pheromones to soothe her and the baby."
Archie paused, glanced at Anrita, turned the page, and continued to read the experiences shared by netizens on Star Online:
[Pregnant females generally don't have strong reactions. If they do, it's definitely because the male isn't accompanying her enough and isn't providing enough pheromones to comfort her. It's recommended to either replace the male or mark more.]
"That's right. If this one doesn't work, find a few more. But then again, if a male can't even soothe a female with his own pheromones, can he really get a female pregnant?"
Aqir: "..."
When Anrita saw this, she finally understood.
No wonder she didn't feel any discomfort during her last pregnancy. It turned out that it was because there was always a male partner around who used pheromones to soothe her and the baby.
But during this pregnancy, she hadn’t received any pheromone comfort from her male partner for several days.
Achilles consulted a lot of relevant information. The fertility rate of interstellar females is relatively low, which means that most people know very little about giving birth to offspring.
He had made up for a lot of things, and now, looking at these experiences about pheromone soothing, combined with the previous doctor's instructions, he quietly raised his eyes and looked at Anrita.
Anrita suddenly stopped eating and looked into Achir's eyes.
Achir has always been calm and reliable. Although he has some paranoia and stubbornness in his personality, he is always calm and stable in daily interactions.
But at this moment, when he stared at Anita quietly with his light golden eyes, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Achilles' eyes are extremely deep and full of tenderness.
This gave Anrita the illusion that he had a crush on her.
Her ears flushed quietly. It had been a long time since she had felt this embarrassed. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Aqir was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to start. After more than ten seconds, he coughed lightly and said to Anrita:
"You heard what I just read. Last time on Caster Island, the doctor also clearly stated that pregnant females and their unborn children need male pheromones for comfort."
After a pause, he continued, "If you were in better condition, I wouldn't say anything more, but now..."
He glanced at Anrita and said in a low voice with a hint of distress: "I'm very worried about your health. You look very poorly."
Anita lowered her head slightly and raised her hand to gently stroke her abdomen.
Indeed, this pregnancy is much more difficult than the last one.
During her last pregnancy, she felt almost nothing unusual.
But this time, his body felt weak. Although his mental strength was still strong, the physical weakness was real.
The condition of the baby in her belly is currently good, but she can't help but worry that over time, the baby will become as weak as she is.
Anrita felt helpless. She really didn't expect to get pregnant again so soon.
If I had known earlier.
When she found out she was pregnant, she hid it from Aqir and secretly ate two spiritual fruits.
She hoped that the spiritual fruit could provide nutrients for the child.
But spiritual fruits alone are far from enough.
Lacking the mental strength and pheromone nourishment of a high-level male, the child's innate conditions are absolutely inferior to those of the previous mermaid baby.
Anrita remained silent. At this time, Archer suddenly stood up, walked to her, put his hands on the armrests of her chair, and trapped her in the chair.
He bent down, looked at Anritsu seriously, and whispered:
"Little female, let me help you. You did deep grooming for me and saved my life. In return, I should help you, right?"
There was a hint of loss in his voice: "Of course, I know you don't like me. You may still be resentful of me for hurting your partner and blame me for always saying bad things about him and not letting you go back to him."
"But you also know that I will never hurt you. You can use my pheromones without worry, even... my body."
Being stared at so closely by Achir, feeling the heat and strong scent of male pheromones coming from his body, Anritsu's cheeks instantly turned red and her heartbeat became more rapid.
"I……"
She said a little nervously: "I don't blame you, you are very good, it's just that I..." She had only one concern.
She is currently using a disguised identity.
With Archer's stubborn and vengeful nature, if he knew the true identities of her and her companions, and knew that the females he had been taking care of and comforting were actually his enemies in the dark forest last time.
She was really afraid that Archer would lose control.
She just didn't want the conflict to escalate further.
Anrita looked conflicted.
But Aqir felt a little hurt: "It seems that you love your partners very much."
His tone was filled with sadness: "For them, you are unwilling to find another male to comfort you and your children at a time like this."
A hint of jealousy flashed in Archer's eyes.
That's right, he began to envy those males who were able to gain the favor and mark of the females!
Anita looked at his expression, not knowing how to respond. She raised her hand and gently stroked the baby in her belly, whispering:
"I just don't want to bother you too much, and I'm also afraid that you will regret saving me in the future."
Archer looked at Anrita's ordinary face and knew that she was using a disguised identity.
But he had already decided not to care about it.
In his mind, the little female in front of him was Angie, no one else.
