Chapter 198 Fear
"Why be so sensible? It's not a good thing for a female to be too strong. A little bit of vulnerability will make the male feel more sorry for you."

Xuanming walked over with a sneer, his arms braced on the stone bed beside her, his honey-colored chest almost touching her nose, exuding a strong sense of aggression.

Su Xiyue's nose bumped against his burning chest muscles, and the aroma of venison mixed with a strong hormonal scent filled the cave.

Her ears felt slightly warm, and she couldn't help but reflect on whether she was being too strong-willed.

Men all like women who are as gentle and delicate as little white rabbits.

Take Chu Youyou for example; a single tear from her could make Mu Han willingly die for her.

After all the hard work of raising so many children, all I get in the end is 10 points of favorability for each of them.

Ultimately, it's because she gave birth to her child too easily.

Because she took an epidural, she didn't utter a single sound throughout the entire process.

Under such circumstances, how could a man feel sorry for her? He would also be unable to understand her sacrifices and pain.

On the contrary, they felt that having offspring was a responsibility to ensure the continuation of male offspring.

It's no big deal.

Su Xiyue instantly realized where her problem lay.

She lowered her eyes and pretended to be weak as she clutched her chest. "Xuanming... don't get so close to me, I'm feeling a little dizzy."

Ye Ling glanced coldly at Xuan Ming, flicked an ice blade at him with her fingertip, and said coldly, "She just gave birth and is very weak. Are you trying to suffocate her by getting so close?"

Xuanming instinctively leaned back to avoid the ice blade.

He raised an eyebrow and chuckled, his expression carefree and unrestrained.

But his gaze toward Su Xiyue was meaningful. "Tsk...you're quick to learn, and you're putting on quite a good show."

He could tell that Su Xiyue was faking it.

However, this trick really worked; didn't you see that bastard Ye Ling was so anxious that he immediately took action?

Su Xiyue wasn't flustered even after being exposed. She simply leaned into Mo Lin's arms, frowned, and snorted softly: "Who's pretending? I'm actually a little dizzy right now."

Mo Lin's arm stiffened, and when he looked down, he saw her eyelashes trembling slightly. A rare look of heartache appeared on his usually cold face.

At this moment, they didn't even have time to look at the snake eggs.

He gently helped her lie down, then carefully covered her with the animal skin blanket, his voice incredibly gentle: "If you're dizzy, just lie still and don't move around. I'll hatch the snake eggs later, you don't need to worry about them. The most important thing for you now is to recover."

"Ding! Mo Lin's favorability has increased by 3, and the current favorability is 88. Please keep up the good work, host."

Hearing the cheerful voice of the system in her mind, Su Xiyue smiled slightly.

It's true that showing weakness is much more effective than showing strength.

I was just about to add fuel to the fire.

Su Lie waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, those who need to breastfeed should breastfeed, those who need to incubate the eggs should incubate the eggs, and those who need to make soup should make soup. Don't all stand here and disturb Yue'er's rest."

They all seemed unwilling to leave.

His face darkened, and he couldn't help but yell again, "Get the hell out of here!"

When everyone was blasted out of the cave.

Xuanming, still lazily leaning against the cave entrance, whistled at Su Xiyue inside the cave: "Little Moon, wait until you're better..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qingzhu kicked him out.

Xuanming nimbly spun around to dodge, his wolf tail sweeping out of Qingzhu, causing him to stumble. He then grabbed Qingzhu's wrist and pinned him against the stone wall.

As their chests pressed together, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm not going to touch her right now. I'm not that much of a beast."

You'd better remember what you said.

Qingzhu coldly swept her gaze over Xuanming's face, which was inches away from hers, and gave him a chilling warning.

Thinking of something, he suddenly said, "Come with me to the Ice Abyss tonight."

Xuanming raised an eyebrow and released his grip, looking at him with a meaningful gaze: "For the Blood Crystal Deer?"

"What do you say?"

Qingzhu flicked off his wrinkled sleeves, turned and walked away, the moonlight outlining his aloof silhouette: "Leave at midnight, don't hold us back."

Xuanming laughed wildly, "That's what I should be saying."

He glanced at the faint firelight inside the cave, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Tsk, I really want a baby born from Little Moon..."

The cave fell silent, with only the occasional soft crackling of the torches on the stone walls.

Mo Lin transformed into his true form as a giant python, coiling his body into a series of circles, like a huge nest. Eight snake eggs were carefully encircled in the center, their cold scales clinging to the shells, slowly incubating with his body heat.

Ye Ling, thinking that the three little ones hadn't eaten anything since they were born, suddenly grabbed them by the scruff of their necks and stuffed them directly into Su Xiyue's bed: "Yue'er, feed them."

Su Xiyue looked at the fluffy things in the blankets, glaring and crawling around, "Awooo..."

The three wolf cubs, who had been howling, froze, feeling a chill run down their spines.

How do I feed this thing?
Will they bite?

She instinctively shrank back, moving away from the three little ones.

I really can't accept breastfeeding.

It's not like it's a baby.

If it were a baby, she wouldn't be so resistant.

Ye Ling noticed her reaction, frowned slightly, and felt puzzled.

As an Emir, how can she be afraid of her own child? Isn't that ridiculous?

His silver eyes darkened, and he grabbed her leg as she tried to pull back. His deep voice carried a dangerous undertone, "They have your blood in their veins. You don't even dare to feed your own cubs?" The three wolf cubs, smelling their mother's scent, stumbled and nuzzled into her arms, their pink claws tearing through their thin animal skin as they tried to suckle.

Su Xiyue gasped, a memory of being bitten by a zombie in the apocalypse suddenly flashing through her mind.

She abruptly pushed the wolf cub away, retreated frantically, her voice trembling: "Don't come any closer, I...I haven't nursed yet."

Ye Ling's silver eyes suddenly turned icy, and he grabbed her kicking ankle. "You're lying."

When his palm touched her cold, trembling skin, his tone became even more dangerous, "After a female wolf gives birth, her two cubs will inevitably produce milk; this is an instinct of beastmen."

The three wolf cubs were thrown to the edge of the stone bed, whimpering pitifully.

Mo Lin's snake tail suddenly swept over, pulling the cubs to a safe area. His eyes fell on Su Xiyue's pale face, his expression complicated: "Are you afraid of them?"

Even he couldn't understand this behavior. How could an Amu be afraid of his own cub?

The cave fell silent for a moment.

Ye Ling scooped up the baby with one hand and shoved it into Su Xiyue's arms, her tone icy, "You don't even dare touch your own child? You think you're just playing around with it?"

The wolf cub's wet nose brushed against her collarbone, making her tremble all over.

She didn't reject them; on the contrary, she liked them very much.

How could I not like the child I gave birth to?

She just can't accept breastfeeding.

Ultimately, her mindset hasn't completely changed.

Deep down, he still considers himself a human being.

Just then, a series of warnings from the system suddenly rang in his mind: "Warning, warning, Ye Ling's favorability -5, current favorability 83. The host's behavior has seriously deviated from female instinct. Host, you must remember that you are no longer human, but a female wolf. It is the instinct of a female wolf to nurse her cubs."

Su Xiyue's hands were trembling as she gripped the animal hide tightly. Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see in her mind was the image of being bitten half to death by zombies during the apocalypse.

The thought of nursing three wolf cubs filled her with dread.

I don't know what to do.

Mo Lin quickly positioned himself between Ye Ling and Su Xiyue, his expression complex as he said, "The cubs will bite when they are hungry, so a male should be there to watch over them during the first feeding."

Seeing that her face was pale and her whole body was trembling, he realized she was really scared. His eyes showed pity and heartache. "This is Yue'er's first time giving birth. She may not be used to it yet. Don't pressure her too much. Feeding the babies first is just as good."

"Mo Lin, move aside."

Ye Ling angrily shoved Mo Lin away, pinched Su Xiyue's chin with her fingertips, and forced her to look up at her. Her voice was terribly hoarse, "I'm not forcing you to breastfeed. The babies won't starve. What angers me is that I've discovered you don't like them at all, and are even afraid of them. Tell me why?"

When his fingertips touched the tears rolling down her cheeks, his grip suddenly froze, and the anger deep in his silver eyes abruptly solidified.

Mo Lin frowned, suddenly grabbed Ye Ling's wrist, and said coldly, "You scared her."

"I scared her?"

Ye Ling laughed in exasperation, pointing at the three wolf cubs that were so hungry they were gnawing on the edge of the bed, "Look at them..."

The youngest white wolf cub suddenly darted to Su Xiyue's feet, opened its mouth and bit the sash of her dangling animal skin skirt, trying to climb up and nurse.

She instinctively kicked out, and the wolf cub crashed into the stone wall with a thud.

Realizing what he had just done, he panicked and hurriedly tried to retrieve the three wolf cubs he had flung away.

But Ye Ling grabbed her wrist, his silver eyes fixed on her, a terrifying storm brewing within them.

The cave fell into a deathly silence.

"I…I didn't mean it!"

Su Xiyue avoided his gaze, almost unable to look him in the eye.

"So Yue'er wasn't afraid after all."

Ye Ling's voice was terrifyingly soft, "It's disgust."

He gently grabbed the three hungry wolf cubs and stroked them softly, his expression unusually cold, with pain hidden deep in his eyes.

He never dreamed that Yue'er would dislike their child.

In his view, this is the fruit of their love, and he is too happy and loving to dislike it.
System alarms blared in Su Xiyue's mind: "Warning, warning, host, Ye Ling's favorability -10, current favorability 73. Mo Lin's favorability -3, current favorability 85. Please take immediate action."

"You misunderstood, I didn't dislike them..."

Su Xiyue frowned and explained in a very soft voice.

Females in this world cannot transform into beasts; they can only remain in human form.

The thought of carrying three nursing wolf cubs on its back is enough to drive anyone crazy.

The main problem is that I can't get over my own mental hurdle.

In a moment of quick thinking, she suddenly clutched her stomach and groaned, "It hurts so much!"

Ye Ling's pupils contracted sharply as his gaze fell upon her pale face, and the anger on his face was replaced by panic.

He began to shout in a panic, "Xuanming, the witch doctor, quickly go and call the witch doctor..."

Mo Lin rushed over instantly, wrapped his large arm around Su Xiyue's waist, scooped her up, and asked anxiously, "Where does it hurt?"

Su Xiyue leaned against Mo Lin's chest, her back soaked with cold sweat. She didn't answer immediately, but just pretended to be in pain.

She could sense that Ye Ling's anger had subsided considerably.

Just as I was wondering what to do, the system's voice echoed in my mind.

"Ding, an emergency mission has been triggered. Please complete the first breastfeeding within ten minutes. Mission rewards: Ye Ling's favorability +15, Mo Lin's favorability +10, and unlock the Motherly Aura, a permanent buff (increases cub affinity by 50%). If the mission fails, the host will revert to the extremely ugly and 300-pound appearance they had when they transmigrated to the Beast World. The effect will last for three months."

Su Xiyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she became incredibly ugly again? She weighed 300 pounds?
Is this dog system trying to force her to confront her fear?
