I wonder what it will be like when I'm pregnant with Arthur's child. Will my belly get bigger? They're oviparous, so it must be different, right?
Cang Jue saw Guo Xiaoxiao touching her belly, put down the fresh fruit he had picked, walked over and hugged her, saying with a happy expression, "You must be really looking forward to seeing what the little one looks like, right?"
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Well... Amansa's babies all look pretty much the same, right?"
What is born from an egg hatches into an eagle; how can you clearly see what it looks like?
There were eight little snakes in total, but she couldn't tell what they looked like; they hadn't taken human form yet.
The little snakes have been confined to the room lately and aren't allowed to go out. If one of them eats one, the dead animal might become infected with parasites, which wouldn't be good.
Cang Jue affectionately pinched the tip of her nose: "Silly girl, they haven't taken shape yet. We'll have to wait at least a few years before we see what they look like."
Oh, what a pity!
Guo Xiaoxiao feigned disappointment; the parasite incident was over, and things had calmed down considerably outside.
No one dared to underestimate it anymore; everyone was on guard, and not a single inanimate object dared to approach.
Cang Jue used a bone knife to peel a fruit for Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, aren't you bored staying in the castle all day? I'll make you a cradle outside; I think the females all like it."
"OK"
The cradle Cang Jue mentioned was a swing. Guo Xiaoxiao had seen females playing with swings while strolling through the streets of the Beast City, but she was too shy to approach them since they weren't familiar with each other. Now that Cang Jue was offering to do it, she was more than happy to oblige.
"I'll go get it done, you eat first."
Cang Jue gently kissed her forehead and turned to leave.
Guo Xiaoxiao touched her forehead where he had kissed her, feeling extremely happy.
Evening
Cang Jue found suitable vines and planks, returned to the outside of the castle, and found a very tall tree outside. He hung the vines from the tree trunk, and it was just the right size to lower them down.
After securing the vines at both ends, the wooden plank was tied to it, and some flowers were used as decoration. Guo Xiaoxiao was pregnant and going through a crucial period, so Cang Jue, fearing instability, sat on it and swayed for a moment.
No problem, I can support Guo Xiaoxiao's weight.
Everything was done. Cang Jue brought Guo Xiaoxiao out of the castle to show him his masterpiece.
Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. She thought it was exquisite and beautiful, and praised, "It's so pretty!"
Hearing her praise, Cang Jue became even more smug and said, "How was it? Detailed enough, right? This was specially made for you."
"Hmm, Cang Jue is the best, I'll go give it a try."
Guo Xiaoxiao sat on the swing, swaying back and forth, finding herself a little ridiculous.
She's too easily satisfied. Even the smallest novelty in the beast world fills her with joy. She can survive without a cell phone or TV!
Cang Jue stood behind her, supporting her waist and pushing her.
"Xiaoxiao, slow down, no rush, I'll stay behind you."
Cang Jue was worried she would fall, and he only felt at ease as long as she was within his sight. He stood behind her to make sure she didn't swing too high.
"The plank is quite wide, why don't you sit down with me?"
"Um."
Cang Jue sat down next to her and held her hand tightly.
Guo Xiaoxiao leaned against him, and Cang Jue slowly swayed on his feet, supporting himself on the ground.
The swing swayed gently at the castle gate. Passing orcs saw the two sitting on the swing chair and cast envious glances their way.
"Wow~ When will I be able to get a beautiful female as my mate?"
"How wonderful! I wish I had a female like that."
Yes, I really hope to meet him.
"Don't be delusional. Cang Jue is the Beast King, he's reached five stars, and he's the strongest. How could you possibly have a chance with a good female?"
"Sigh...what a pity..."
"..."
Guo Xiaoxiao listened to the sighs of passersby, but felt a different kind of emotion in her heart. If only no one were walking by the door, it would be perfect.
But all roads lead to the same destination, and we can't block people from walking.
Miksen returned from hunting with his orcs, carrying half a cleaned cow. The sight of Cang Jue and Guo Xiaoxiao being all lovey-dovey was an eyesore to him.
The baby she was carrying wasn't his, and she kept it all bottled up inside, never showing it to Guo Xiaoxiao. But she was still heartbroken in private. However, she decided to let it go, not wanting to be jealous anymore. She'd leave it to fate; Xiaoxiao had already said the next one would be his.
Guo Xiaoxiao is only 23 years old. She got pregnant and gave birth, which took a lot of damage to her body. But Xiaoxiao said that people in her tribe usually have children when they are 18 or 19 years old.
"Twenty-three is no problem," Mickelson said calmly. "Right now, all I need to do is take good care of Xiaoxiao and wait patiently."
He walked over
"I made a rocking basket, Xiaoxiao, be careful when you play in it."
Mickelson spoke with gentle concern.
Cang Jue: "It's alright, I'll protect her. I won't let her fall."
Guo Xiaoxiao: You're back so early today!
Mickelson: "Yeah, we caught quite a lot of prey."
I'll go grill some meat for you.
"good"
Miksen went into the small kitchen, put down his prey, and saw a huge pile of ingredients. He didn't know what to do with them for a moment. It was good to have so many orcs; each one brought back a little, and there was so much food. Guo Xiaoxiao's castle was never short of food.
Cang Jue walked over to tell Mikeson that they should roast the rabbit meat first, otherwise it would spoil if it wasn't air-dried.
Just then, seeing him standing there looking troubled, I reminded him...
"Let's make some soup with rabbit meat and the big black beast."
"Hmm, good idea."
So the two of them went about their own business, and Cang Jue joined in to help.
Mickelson: "Why are you running in here instead of going out to watch over Xiaoxiao? What if she falls?"
Cang Jue waved his hand: "I put her on the mat and laid her down. I put the rocking basket up in the tree so she couldn't reach it."
"The orcs have all lit fires to roast meat. There are many orcs coming and going outside. Let her play with it again tonight."
Mickelson: "Oh, okay."
…
Mickson placed the cleaned and gutted rabbit meat on the fire to roast, while Cangjue began processing the wild boar meat and other game. Mickson glanced at Cangjue casually and said...
"Cang Jue, the meat needs to be roasted until tender before stewing in soup; it tastes best with sea cucumbers."
Cang Jue looked up and glanced at him in confusion.
"Yeah?"
"Xiaoxiao taught me, that's right."
I'll give it a try.
Cang Jue obediently did as he was told, and soon the fragrant meat soup was ready.
…
Wow! It smells so good!
Guo Xiaoxiao smelled the aroma and ran in; the further her pregnancy progressed, the hungrier she became.
Cang Jue took the meat out, placed it on a plate, and handed it to Guo Xiaoxiao.
"Try it."
"Uh-huh"
Guo Xiaoxiao took a bite, and it tasted incredibly delicious.
"It tastes good."
"hehe"
Cang Jue took out the remaining meat, and Miksen filled the table with it.
Xiaoxiao
Guo Xiaoxiao looked up at him: "What's wrong?"
"Alo discovered an herb that can improve physical fitness."
What kind of herbs?
Guo Xiaoxiao was curious
"It's called Green Jade Grass. I picked it near a cave outside the city. I'll go pick one tomorrow and make you some soup. It's a bit bitter, but please bear with it for your health."
Guo Xiaoxiao remembered how Carlos fed her nourishing soups every day in the castle. They were too bitter for her to drink, but Carlos forced her to, saying they were good for her health. Good heavens, what a nightmare!
