Chapter 33: Are These Qiu Rong's Cubs?

Xin Feng's expression immediately changed, showing a moment of panic and helplessness, before quickly regaining his composure.

"Wan Wan, don't be afraid, just bear with it for a moment. I'll go call the Clan Witch over to examine you right away."

The birth of Cubs always required the Clan Witch's assistance, so his first reaction was to call her.

Bai Wanwan, however, clutched his hand tightly and shook her head. "No, just stay here and keep me company."

At the same time, she fiercely cursed the System telepathically, "Aren't you the Childbirth System? Can't you even block the pain?"

"Host, you don't have enough points yet. Blocking pain requires exchanging points."

"Are you even a person? Oh wait, you're not a person!" She took a deep breath through the pain to try and clear her mind.

"What kind of garbage System is this? Making people work like beasts of burden without even feeding them properly, offering no benefits whatsoever, and only demanding I give birth to Cubs! I'm not doing it anymore. Unbind yourself immediately!"

In her agony, she lost all reason, cursing the System while tightly grasping Xin Feng.

Xin Feng saw her streaming tears from the pain. Not only was he anxious inside, but his worry was also evident on his face.

"Wan Wan, giving birth is extremely dangerous. I must find the Clan Witch to ensure your safety. Let go for a moment. I'll be quick and come right back to stay with you."

Bai Wanwan only felt surging forces churning inside her belly, the pain making even breathing agonizing.

And this pain intensified with time.

The System was speaking in her mind, and it seemed Xin Feng was speaking too.

But she was in too much pain to concentrate and could only shake her head at Xin Feng.

In that instant, Xin Feng even considered giving birth for her.

But if he softened his heart, Wan Wan would be in danger.

He gritted his teeth and resolutely pulled his hand away from Bai Wanwan's grasp.

"Wan Wan, don't be afraid, I'll be right back."

Saying that, he turned around and vanished outside the cave.

The rain outside had lessened significantly compared to the first few days, but it was still drizzling incessantly.

Bai Wanwan proceeded to curse the System's entire ancestry, back eighteen generations.

The System, peanut, kindly reminded her, "Host, I am a string of code; I do not have eighteen generations of ancestors."

"You do now! If you let me stay in this much pain today, I will never give birth again. Don't even think about using me as your tool! Ouch!"

She was kicked again, causing her to roll over in agony.

She wished she could slice open her own belly and throw the Cubs out.

"Host, I cannot help you block the pain. Please stop cursing.", It was becoming too vulgar, and even the System could barely stand listening.

"I will curse! If you give birth to a shameless System in the future that abandons its own biological son to raise an embryo instead..."

After cursing, she threatened through gritted teeth, "If you continue to let me suffer like this, I truly will never listen to you again! I won't want any other Beast Husbands!"

The System was stunned by the cursing and felt a bit scared.

It worried that she might actually rebel against it, refuse to Pair with a Male, and refuse to give birth.

The Hosts bound to the System were all selected after rigorous evaluation; they weren't just anyone.

If this Host genuinely acted against its directives, how could it complete its mission?

"Host, then I will apply for you to see if we can use points early to block the pain."

"Then hurry up! Two minutes. I will wait for you for a maximum of two minutes. If you can't do it by then, just disappear, you useless System!"

The System fell silent. Bai Wanwan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, feeling like her belly was being kicked repeatedly.

Suddenly, the cave entrance was pushed open.

Bai Wanwan thought Xin Feng had returned and was about to call out to him.

But she saw Xin Shan standing at the doorway instead.

"Wan Wan?"

Bai Wanwan was in too much pain to speak.

Xin Shan called out once, received no reply, and continued walking inside.

He soon discovered Bai Wanwan lying on the Stone Bed, her face ashen.

His expression drastically changed, filled with worry. "Wan Wan, what's wrong?"

He had heard the commotion just now and saw Xin Feng running away when he opened the door.

Worried that something might have happened, he decided to come over and check.

And then he saw Bai Wanwan in this state.

Just then, the System returned and was speaking to her, "Host, I successfully applied for early use of points for painless delivery, but it requires double repayment."

"Hurry up and deduct it, stop wasting time!"

As soon as the words fell, the intense pain suddenly vanished. She felt a sense of emptiness, and then something rolled out from under her leather skirt.

"Waaah..."

Weak cries of several Cubs echoed in the silent cave.

Xin Shan stared at the several palm-sized Cubs that had rolled onto the Stone Bed. He was completely dumbfounded.

"Wan Wan, you gave birth to four Cubs..."

Bai Wanwan felt as if she had just completed a strenuous exercise. Now that the pain was gone, her eyelids felt incredibly heavy.

She struggled to lift her eyelids, glanced at the pale Cat Cubs in his palm, thought, "So ugly," and then fainted.

"Wan Wan..."

Xin Shan called out twice, but she didn't react at all.

The Cub in his palm tumbled over, nearly rolling out of his hand.

Xin Shan jumped in fright and quickly raised the edge of his palm to guide it back.

The newborn Cub hadn't opened its eyes yet; its skin was bare, completely hairless...

Yet, Xin Shan found it beautiful no matter how he looked at it.

There were three other Cubs on the bed. Two of them were clearly larger, looking much stronger than the other two.

He gently placed the Cat Cub in his palm down and teased the four Cubs that were crying weakly for food.

"Are you hungry? You'll have to wait for your Mother to wake up..."

As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that the markings on the two larger Cubs were different from ordinary Cats.

They didn't look like Cats; they looked more like Tigers?

Tigers?

Xin Shan abruptly turned his head to look at the unconscious Bai Wanwan.

He had always assumed the Cubs inside Wan Wan were Xin Feng's, which was why she firmly chose Xin Feng as her Beast Husband.

But Xin Feng was a Silver Wolf, and none of the four Cubs resembled a Silver Wolf.

And in the entire Cat Clan Tribe, there was only one outside Beastman: a Tiger Beastman.

Could it be that Wan Wan's litter of Cubs belonged to him?

Various complicated feelings surged in his heart. The Cubs crawled around near him, gnawing on his hand.

Looking at the Cubs, Xin Shan's eyes softened.

Regardless of whether these Cubs belonged to Qiu Rong or not, Wan Wan didn't choose him to be her Beast Husband, so she must have her reasons.

When Xin Feng returned with the Clan Witch, he saw Xin Shan sitting to the side, with the four Cubs huddled together, seemingly asleep.

The Clan Witch stepped forward first, carefully examining the several Cubs before observing Bai Wanwan's condition, then finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Indeed, a Sacred Female. Giving birth to four Cubs in one litter, and all of them are Cubs with Talent."

They managed to give birth smoothly even without her assistance.

These words caused both Xin Shan's and Xin Feng's gazes to fall upon the Cubs.

"All four Cubs have Talent?"

"The Talent isn't low either. These two are at least Green-grade Talent or higher."

Xin Shan saw the Clan Witch pointing towards the two Tiger Cubs and immediately shifted his body slightly, attempting to block the view.

The Cubs were still small; it was easy to confuse Cats and Tigers if one didn't look closely.

Qiu Rong didn't seem to know for sure if Wan Wan's Cubs were his. Since Wan Wan didn't want people to know, he would keep it a secret for her.

Happy New Year everyone! Thank you all for the tips and votes, love you all~
