Most of the orcs here are still superstitious, and because they are newcomers and have limited knowledge of Shenmiao, superstition ultimately outweighs fear, and they begin to denounce Shenmiao.
They felt she was meddling in other people's business and would bring annihilation to the Beast Realm sooner or later.
Someone said indignantly, "That Xuanran Army leader, even if you have power and influence, you can't be so domineering. We want to throw this kid away, you can't stop us, can you?"
"Exactly, exactly. Let's throw that monster away. We don't want it to bring us bad luck."
Shen Miao ignored them, only looking at the female beast crying on the ground, and asked, "Are you going to throw away your cubs too?"
The female beast, her face streaked with tears, shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, that's my cub, I could never throw it away."
Even though she already knew this outcome, Shen Miao's expression softened, and she reassured her, "Don't be afraid, your baby, no one can abandon him."
"Thank you, thank you sob, but I can't protect them. They'll suffer if they stay with me. Please, take the cubs away." The female beast knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
Her male beast stood blankly to one side, somewhat at a loss.
Shen Miao sighed inwardly, glancing at the two lambs in her arms who could only sleep on their sides because their hind legs were stuck together, and felt immense pity for them.
The children could probably sense the reassuring aura emanating from Shen Miao, and had already closed their eyes and fallen asleep.
After watching for a while, Shen Miao said firmly to the female beast, "Don't worry, the cubs are still yours. I'll take them away temporarily and then find a way to separate their bodies so they can live like normal cubs."
The crowd sneered, clearly distrusting Shen Miao and thinking she was bragging. Some of the beastmen even suspected that Shen Miao was taking the cub to do something shady.
Jiuying couldn't bear to see these people treating Shen Miao like this, so she stepped forward, and a ball of white light faintly appeared in her hand, which was a manifestation of spiritual energy being released.
If these people utter another word of nonsense, he will make them suffer the consequences of gossip.
The beastmen were just a bit talkative and ignorant, not that they were fearless. After being intimidated by Jiuying, they all obediently shut their mouths and dared not speak again.
Shen Miao then took the conjoined lambs home.
The two cubs woke up hungry, making whimpering noises. They hadn't eaten since birth and had almost been beaten to death by their own father and strangers. The cubs were so weak from hunger.
"Jiuying, go and milk some goat milk, boil it and bring it over. No, never mind, no need to boil it."
These are lambs, so drinking goat milk shouldn't require heating and sterilization like human babies.
Jiuying complied.
When Da Bao and the others returned from the animal park, they found two extra lambs at home. They were very happy and gathered around them, but soon noticed the lambs' unusual behavior.
Erbao asked in surprise, "Mommy, why are the lamb's legs like that?"
Two lambs were drinking their milk with their backs to each other. The lambs, who were usually very shy around strangers, did not resist the approach of the four lambs.
They probably know that Da Bao and the others are also cubs, and therefore won't harm them.
Shen Miao said gently, "Because they are twins, they have a good relationship and can't bear to be separated from each other, so they stayed together after they were born."
"Just like me, Da Bao, San Bao, and Si Bao?" Er Bao put one arm around Da Bao and tried to put the other arm around San Bao and Si Bao, but it was too short and he ended up with nothing.
“Yes.” Shen Miao nodded with a smile.
Da Bao glanced at the lamb and hesitated before saying, "But Mother, I heard them say that such a lamb is unlucky and will bring disaster to the family and the tribe."
Upon hearing this, Shen Miao's expression turned serious, and she asked Da Bao, "Who told you that?"
Da Bao stammered, "I heard it from some of the old ladies in the camp."
“They’re wrong.” Shen Miao knew that the people here were like that; they couldn’t accept anything different. Anything that was different from their understanding would be labeled as heresy and ominous.
She was determined to correct the children's thinking.
Believe in science, stay away from superstition, and start with me!
Shen Miao began to carefully analyze the condition of the lambs for the little ones, saying that this was just a medical phenomenon and had nothing to do with any gods or ghosts.
If any family suffers misfortune as a result, it is not the lambs' fault, but their problem. It is the most ridiculous thing to blame one's own incompetence on two little lambs who have just come into this world.
They were also told that the lambs were already pitiful and needed more love and care, not ridicule and abuse.
The four children listened attentively, and the youngest even raised his little hand, looking like he had something to say.
Recently at the baby animal park, she got into the habit of raising her hand before asking questions, and she still does the same at home. After realizing what she had done, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Mommy, I'm not afraid of baby sheep. I like them very much. I think they're cute."
"Me too, me too."
The other children also eagerly took turns speaking.
Shen Miao smiled slightly, about to praise them for being sensible, when suddenly a hurried footstep came from outside. Shen Miao and the little ones turned to look at the same time, and even the two lambs drinking goat milk raised their heads in confusion.
The six small figures moved in perfect unison, causing Lin Shousheng to freeze in his tracks.
But his anger did not subside. His gaze fell on the two conjoined babies, and he regained his temper, saying with a pained expression, "Chen Miao, you really brought that...that thing back? What were you thinking?"
Shen Miao asked Lin Shousheng to sit down and said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, you're not young anymore. Why are you rushing around like this? What if you trip and fall on the road? Slow down next time."
Lin Shousheng glared at her, puffing out his cheeks, and said angrily, "Don't try to change the subject. What are you going to do with them...?" He pointed at the two cubs, "...what are you going to do with them?"
He heard that Shen Miao had declared she would cure the two cubs, and this matter had caused quite a stir in the Beast Realm. If she failed, it would definitely be a huge blow to Shen Miao's reputation.
This matter has nothing to do with Shen Miao herself. It would have been better if she hadn't interfered, but she just had to. Sometimes even Lin Shousheng didn't know what was going on in Shen Miao's head.
Is this the kind of thing you can just take on? If you don't do it right, you'll be attacked by the orcs. It's a thankless task.
Shen Miao ignored Lin Shousheng's complaints and said, "Uncle Lin, can you think of a way for me? We can separate the two cubs' hind legs. That shouldn't be too difficult."
"What? You really want to treat them?" Lin Shousheng found it unbelievable.
Shen Miao asked, bewildered, "Of course, otherwise why would I bring them back?"
Lin Shousheng was speechless, sitting there without saying a word for a long time.
