At this very moment, in the witch doctor's house.
The chief and the witch doctor sat facing each other, each holding a bowl of hot water, chatting leisurely.
The chief picked up the bowl, took a sip of hot water, squinted comfortably, and smiled with deep emotion.
"It's great that there were no dead animals this snow season!"
With long-stored food and heated kang beds, no animals in the entire Yafatu tribe starved or froze to death.
This has never happened before, even though this year's snow season is longer than usual.
"Thanks to that little female, Shengxia!"
The witch doctor held the bowl in both hands, smiling broadly. After a snowy season, the females had all gained weight. How wonderful.
Shengxia is a promising candidate. After she gives birth, we'll ask her opinion and see if she's willing to become a witch doctor.
He's getting old.
Summer, who was remembered by the two leaders of the tribe, was unaware of their gratitude.
She was lying in a rocking chair, swaying leisurely.
They basked in the gentle sunlight of the flower season in the courtyard.
"Does the baby still want to eat?"
Yang Yun moved a small stool and sat down next to the rocking chair, holding a piece of dried meat in her hand, her gaze towards Sheng Xia was very gentle.
The small stool was made by Wolf King based on Shengxia's description, using scraps of rosewood. It's as beautiful as a work of art.
"I'd like to eat some fruit."
Shengxia smiled and looked up at him.
Aoki returned with a giant egg, his face beaming with excitement. He ran incredibly fast, shouting as he went.
"Little one, I found a bird egg!"
Her golden hair was dazzling in the sunlight. Sheng Xia sat up gently, squinting as it dazzled her.
I'm really craving it; I haven't had steamed egg custard all winter.
Shengxia swallowed hard, her face beaming with a smile.
"Are there bird eggs now?"
Aoki smiled, took a leather bag off his waist, opened it, and lowered it so that Shengxia could see it more clearly.
"Yes, there are still shrimp, and only one egg. I'll go to a farther place tomorrow to find more. I'll make shrimp and egg custard for the little one later!"
Hearing him say that, Shengxia felt hungry again, and she looked at Qingmu with a grin.
"My dear lion, I'm so happy! It's been so long since I've had steamed egg custard."
Aoki was in an incredibly good mood, feeling full of energy and wishing he could immediately go back into the forest and find another big bag of eggs.
My little one's appetite has been getting better and better lately. He's been eating the same food over and over again, so he must be getting tired of it. Luckily, he's in his prime now.
As long as she likes to eat it, as long as he can find it.
He'd be willing to work himself to death!
"I'll go give the ingredients to Little Sheep. He's a good cook, so I'll have him cook for the baby."
Aoki smiled broadly, took the food into the kitchen, and quickly came out again.
Feeling drowsy from the summer heat, she opened her eyes at the sound and playfully flirted with Aoki.
"Come sit next to me."
Aoki obediently walked over, took the small stool, and sat down next to her. His simple actions revealed a wild aura.
The way Shengxia looked so dazed and confused melted Aoki's heart, filling her with tenderness.
He gently took the small animal skin from the side, covered her with it, and said in a low voice.
"Sleep some more, baby. I'll wake you up when dinner is ready."
I became even more sleepy during the late stages of pregnancy in the summer. Sometimes I would fall asleep while eating and then wake up hungry in the middle of the night.
Later, Yang Yun made a lot of snacks for her and put them in her space so she could take them out and eat them when she got hungry.
I had no morning sickness, no discomfort, and just ate, drank, and slept all day, which was great.

After a heavy rain, the flower season officially begins.
As the weather warms up, plants are growing and sprouting in a rush, and unknown little flowers are beginning to compete for attention.
The earth has regained its colorful blooms.
Bright sunlight streamed in, illuminating the room with a gentle glow, while birds chirped and sang outside the window, their songs incredibly melodious.
After having breakfast, Sheng Xia nestled lazily in Yang Yun's arms, playing with his long, slender, fair fingers.
"It's getting warmer, so don't add firewood to the heated floor anymore. In a couple of days, when the fire goes out, take out the ashes and put them away properly."
"good."
Yang Yun smiled shyly, her clear and cool voice pleasant to the ear.
Suddenly, a loud and urgent bugle call rang out.
The baby in her belly was startled and thrashed around. Shengxia cried out.
"Oh dear, you scared the little one."
She sat up, gently touching her belly, and spoke softly to comfort them.
Wolf King and Green Wood also came over. After confirming that Shengxia was alright, they quickly gave Yang Yun a few instructions, telling him to take good care of the cub at home.
"Yes, you can go without worry."
Yang Yun nodded solemnly, and after they left, she stayed by Sheng Xia's side without leaving for a moment.
Pregnant females have special privileges; even in the most urgent situations, a male will be left at home to look after them.
Aoki and Wolf King went to the tribal square, while Sheep Cloud guarded the home.
Yang Yun carried Sheng Xia, along with the beast and rocking chair, into the living room, gently placed her down, and softly stroked Sheng Xia's swollen belly.
"Don't be afraid, Daddy's here, Daddy's here~"
As Sheng Xia listened to Yang Yun's unconsciously high-pitched voice, she smiled happily and lay dozing off in the rocking chair.
At this very moment, in the tribal square.
A large group of males from the Yafatu tribe stared intently at their joyful chieftain on the high platform.
They whispered among themselves, speculating about the purpose of calling them over.
The chieftain glanced around, and seeing that all the beasts had arrived, he said in a deep voice.
"Too many warriors from the Youtao tribe died during the snowy season, and they can't survive, so they came to us for help!"
It is said that their tribe experienced a beast tide, which killed a group of warriors, and then another group died in the blizzards of the snowy season.
The snowy season was long and food was scarce. In order for the females to survive, a number of males with mates starved to death.
Their tribe has few warriors left, and they can no longer protect their females.
They came to seek refuge with the Yafatu tribe, thanks to the height of summer.
The chief couldn't help but sigh as he thought about this.
Summer is such a wonderful female!
"Now, they're all outside the tribe's gates. Single warriors, your chance has come! Later, prepare the outermost perimeter of the female quarters so the visiting females can move in first..."
As for the males, those with partners live with their partners, while singles have to figure out how to build their own houses.
The chief spoke with a strong and clear voice, his eyes and brows beaming with pride, and he arranged everything in an orderly manner.
The tribe has new beasts! So many females! This hasn't happened in years! The Yafatu tribe is getting stronger and stronger!
As soon as he finished speaking, the beastmen below began to cheer and jump for joy.
A new female has arrived!
There are many single males in the tribe, so now they have a better chance of finding a mate!
Males with partners are also happy, as these single males can finally shift their attention away from their partners!
Outside the tribe's gate, the females were hungry and tired, and they nestled listlessly in their mates' arms.
"Bear Flower, didn't you say the orcs in this tribe are all very friendly? Is that true?"
A female looked curiously at the still very fat bear, Hua Hua, and then looked at her own arms, which had become thinner due to insufficient food during the snowy season, and envy welled up in her eyes.
Xiong Huahua certainly doesn't lack food; in fact, she's gained some weight.
It looks even better now! I'm so envious!
