Chapter 294: Who Made You Angry?
In just a short moment, a layer of mist rose outside the Stone House. As the strong wind blew, waves of moisture poured into the room.
The Cubs had long since been frightened into scuttling into the house.
Xin Feng also turned back and shouted to her, "Wan Wan, the weather has changed. You should go inside and rest too."
Bai Wanwan shook her head, slowly walked to his side, and took hold of his outstretched hand.
"I'm worried about the potatoes we planted. Has the Rainy Season arrived?"
Xin Feng shook his head and spoke after a moment of contemplation, "Logically speaking, there's still some time before the Rainy Season arrives."
Seeing the thick fog outside, which had severely obstructed their vision.
Bai Wanwan's heart felt incredibly heavy.
She wasn't sure if the potatoes needed watering, but with such heavy rain, would they rot if they were soaked for too long?
Xin Feng noticed her restlessness as the rain outside poured into the room.
He quickly closed the door and said softly, "Wan Wan, you've already done your best. If... they really don't grow, it's not your fault."
"Mm, I know..."
She just felt that the Golden Lion Clan Leader had been quite good to her, and she wanted to contribute her meager strength.
If they could harvest this batch of potatoes, they would surely be able to save a group of beastmen during the food-scarce Snow Season.
But now... she couldn't guarantee it anymore.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Bai Wanwan usually took a nap after lunch.
But now, she wasn't sleepy at all, watching the rain pitter-patter incessantly in the central courtyard.
"beast god bless us, please, please... stop raining."
She was able to transmigrate and obtain something like a system.
She felt that there must be some mysterious power at work in the dark.
After muttering for a while, Shi Hua's voice came from the opposite side, "Sister, do you need help over there? I'll have Jin Yu go help you."
"No need, it's raining outside, there's nothing to be busy with."
These past few days were also thanks to Shi Hua's new Beast Husband. If it weren't for him helping to process the prey, this household would really be a bit overwhelmed.
Xin Feng had to take care of her and Cubs, and also accompany her to the fields to water them. He was busy all day long and didn't have much time to rest.
"Alright then, Sister, if you need help, just give a shout."
"Okay."
Bai Wanwan leaned against the Stone Stool, staring at the misty sky.
Gradually, she noticed the rain was letting up.
And the several Males who were supposed to return home only in the evening also rushed back in the afternoon.
Yan Lie and Zhu Xiu came in carrying prey.
Yan Chi and the other Males also dropped off several head of prey.
But they didn't go further inside, only standing at the door and patting off the water. "You guys process these prey; we'll carry the rest away."
"Okay, thanks, Brother." Yan Lie was truly grateful to his Big Brother. In such a dangerous situation, he had stayed behind with the Leopard Clan beastmen.
If they hadn't stayed, they wouldn't have been able to hunt while simultaneously fending off the attacks of the Bear Clan Beastmen.
Yan Chi patted Yan Lie's shoulder, "No need for thanks. Take good care of your Female."
Bai Wanwan also stood up from the stool and invited them into the house.
"Big Brother, the rain is heavy outside. You guys should rest here for a while and leave when the rain lets up."
Yan Chi quickly waved his hand, "No need, Wan Wan, you rest well. We're leaving now too."
The Stone House wasn't spacious and couldn't possibly fit all twenty or so Males.
Yan Chi came and went quickly, not even giving Bai Wanwan a chance to speak again before he had already charged back into the rain.
Fortunately, the rain had lessened significantly now.
Yan Lie quickly wiped the water off his body and sat down next to Bai Wanwan as he did every day upon returning home. Just as he was about to speak to her, he noticed her complexion didn't seem very good.
"Wan Wan, are you unhappy? Who made you angry?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xiu also knitted his brows.
Bai Wanwan quickly shook her head, "No, I'm just worried that with the rain falling like this, the potatoes I planted will go bad."
Zhu Xiu approached her and raised a hand to stroke her cheek, "If they go bad, they go bad. You're still carrying Cubs; there's no need to fret over these things."
Yan Lie nodded in agreement.
It seemed that in their eyes, her mood was more important than the beastmen of the Golden Lion Tribe who were about to starve to death.
"Fine, let's leave it to fate."
Such torrential rain was not something she could control.
If there was truly no way, she had at least tried her best.
The next day, the rain had lessened a lot, but it showed no sign of stopping.
It continued to pitter-patter all day long.
In the past, beastmen wouldn't go out to hunt in rainy weather.
But now, the food reserves for the Snow Season were still far from enough, so all the Males braved the rain to continue into the mountains.
This rain lasted until the third day before finally stopping.
In the early morning, the moment Bai Wanwan discovered the sky was clearing up, she immediately called for Zhu Xiu, who was staying home today, to accompany her to the fields to take a look.
The weather had turned slightly cooler, but after being baked by the sun, the soft earth on the ground had slowly begun to firm up.
She and Zhu Xiu took The Cubs and quickly arrived at the field.
She had originally been fully prepared mentally; even if they had all rotted from soaking, she could accept it.
But what she didn't expect was that the stems and leaves were actually growing quite well.
Bai Wanwan had no planting experience, but she still understood a bit of common sense.
That is, if the stems and leaves withered, the fruit would certainly be gone.
If the stems and leaves were still full of vitality, then in all likelihood... the potatoes were also still doing well.
Zhu Xiu saw the smile overflowing on her face, "Are you relieved now?"
With a bright smile on her face, Bai Wanwan nodded to him repeatedly, "I hope these potatoes are a bit stronger and can hold on a little longer."
Perhaps it really was the beast god's protection; the Rainy Season had not yet arrived.
After two or three consecutive days of rain, the weather became hot once again.
The moisture accumulated on the ground soon evaporated.
Seeing the stems and leaves in the field becoming more and more lush, the stone in Bai Wanwan's heart finally dropped.
"Ouch..."
Just as Bai Wanwan, who had finished checking the potatoes in the field, stood up, she suddenly clutched her stomach and let out a cry.
Xin Feng, who was accompanying her, immediately stepped forward to support her, his gaze falling on her high, protruding belly, "Wan Wan, are you about to give birth?"
Every time Wan Wan gave birth, Xin Feng was there to accompany her.
With so many experiences, Xin Feng finally stopped losing his composure.
He picked Bai Wanwan up in a horizontal carry and strode toward home.
"The Cubs, keep up."
Xin Feng only gave a call and didn't look back.
Bai Wanwan in his arms was breathing slightly; she was indeed about to give birth.
It wasn't particularly painful, she could still bear it, so she wasn't in a hurry to exchange for a Painless Childbirth.
"Wan Wan, does it hurt?"
His pace was fast, but his arms were so steady they hardly trembled.
Bai Wanwan looked at his face, which was forced with worry, and smilingly stroked his jaw, "It's okay at this level for now. They're just reminding me that they're coming out soon."
Xin Feng lowered his head and kissed her palm, "If it hurts, bite me. I'm thick-skinned and tough, it won't hurt."
Bai Wanwan let out a "pfft" laugh, "Does it mean if I bite you, I won't feel pain anymore?"
Xin Feng's brows knitted slightly, "I can't think of any other way to help share the burden."
"Don't worry, I'm not in pain."
Her voice was also full of tenderness as she simultaneously called the system in her mind.
"peanut, I'm about to give birth. Come out quickly."
"Host, I'm here."
At this moment, the sensation of labor pains grew a bit stronger, and Bai Wanwan took another light breath.
"Are you sure that once I give birth to this litter, I can lift the dark curse for Zhu Xiu?"
Shi Hua's Beast Husband Jin Luo changed his name to Jin Yu, which repeated the name of a previous beastman.
