Chapter 545 Giving birth!

In the past, she had seen other females give birth in the Jiaolong tribe, and she always felt that it was an extremely painful and dangerous thing.

Now that it's Wanwan's turn to give birth, whom she treats like her own child, her anxiety is growing day by day, even more so than the woman herself.

Bai Wanwan, on the contrary, smiled and comforted her: "Aunt Shuang, look, I've given birth to so many litters, I'm used to it, it's not that scary. Relax, don't worry."

Her tone was light, trying to dispel the worry between Shuanghua's brows.

As they were talking, a faint rustling sound came from outside, as if someone was deliberately walking lightly.

Shuanghua immediately seemed to have found something to distract herself, and suddenly stood up from the stone bench: "Wanwan, I'm going out to take a look."

After saying that, she lifted her skirt and quickly walked to the door.

She caught the lame, gray-haired orc red-handed.

He was frantically trying to put a basket of fresh berries by the door.

Upon seeing Shuanghua, the other person immediately blushed like a child who had done something wrong, and stammered an apology: "I-I'm sorry!"

Shuanghua was both amused and exasperated by his reaction: "What did you do wrong that you have to apologize for? I just wanted to thank you, but I really can't accept these things."

The male was completely flustered, his ability to speak seemingly utterly lost: "I...no, it's just, here you go, I...I'm leaving!"

He hurriedly put down the basket and tried to turn and run away.

Shuanghua reacted quickly and grabbed his arm.

The male suddenly stiffened, as if he had been frozen in place, unable to move.

Now, not only his face, but also his neck and the wheat-colored chest exposed by the animal skin were flushed with a distinct redness, burning hot.

"Thank you, but I really don't need these things. Please take them all back. I appreciate your kind gesture..."

Shuanghua softened her voice and patiently persuaded her.

Bai Wanwan didn't pay attention to the conversation that followed. She just looked at the slightly stiff and somewhat clumsy male at the door with a knowing smile.

Shuanghua didn't stay outside for long. She soon returned carrying the untouched wicker basket, a hint of helplessness on her face.

"Then the male left?" Bai Wanwan asked with a smile.

"Hmm, it absolutely refused to take the things with it, running faster than a startled springbok." Shuanghua shook her head and placed the basket in the corner.

Bai Wanwan smiled but remained silent, not revealing anything.

She was all too familiar with the look in the male's eyes when he looked at Aunt Shuang—a look that was a mixture of gratitude, shyness, and undisguised admiration.

That's how her beastly husbands looked at her, only their love was more outward and domineering, while the male was more restrained and shy.

She wouldn't interfere in Aunt Shuang's love life. If Aunt Shuang was interested, she would be happy to see it happen and offer her blessings; if Aunt Shuang wasn't interested, she wouldn't interfere too much.

Just then, two half-grown tiger cubs chased and played outside, excitedly howling as they rushed towards them.

The animal in front pushed off with its hind leg, trying to rush into the mother's soft, fragrant embrace for protection, as it always did. "Watch out!" Shuanghua exclaimed, her face turning pale instantly.

Although the little tiger, full of energy, restrained itself, it still gently bumped into Bai Wanwan's high belly!
Bai Wanwan's smiling face instantly froze, her features contorted slightly, and she instinctively clutched her stomach: "Uh..."

A short, sharp pain spread from the spot where the impact occurred.

"What's wrong? Wanwan, does it hurt a lot?" Shuanghua was so frightened that she immediately stood up, her voice trembling, "I'll go call Yinze in!"

To give them space to talk, Yin Ze was playing with the other younger kids in an open space not far from the door.

The exclamations and commotion inside had already caught his attention. Before Shuanghua could rush out, he had already strode in like a gust of wind.

"Wanwan!" Yin Ze immediately noticed her clutching her stomach and pale face. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly stepped forward, gently but swiftly picking her up in his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the clan shaman!"

"No, don't be nervous," Bai Wanwan took a breath, enduring the wave of pain that hadn't completely subsided, her voice still relatively calm, "I just... feel like I'm about to give birth."

The two tiger cubs who had caused the trouble were already terrified, standing there helplessly, their similar golden-brown eyes filled with immense worry and guilt, almost on the verge of tears.

Although Bai Wanwan's abdomen was throbbing with pain, she still forced a reassuring smile at her two frightened children: "My sweet little ones, Mommy's fine, I'm just about to give birth to a little brother or sister. You two should go home with your older brothers and sisters, and I'll call you to come see the baby after Mommy gives birth, okay?"

Tears welled up in the cubs' eyes. Hearing their mother's gentle words, their light returned a little, but a great sense of guilt prevented them from going forward. They simply lowered their heads and followed closely behind their older brothers and sisters who had come to investigate.

All the cubs stared at her with unblinking, worried eyes.

Yin Ze carried Bai Wanwan, his steps quick and steady, and swiftly took her back to the bedroom, settling her on a large bed covered with soft animal hides and silk quilts.

The other kids who rushed over upon hearing the news were all gently but firmly kept outside the bedroom door by him.

Bai Wanwan turned her head and could see that the crack in the door was crowded with little heads. In each pair of eyes, which were different colors but equally beautiful and innocent, there was only the purest worry and love for her, the mother.

At that moment, the pain in my body seemed to be somewhat relieved by this warm current.

She forced a smile at her children, trying to keep her voice steady: "Little ones, wait outside for a little while, until Mommy gives birth to some little brothers and sisters for you, okay?"

"Okay..." the little ones outside the door answered in unison, their sweet, childlike voices so endearing they were almost heartbreaking.

Just as Yin Ze was about to close the door and go to invite the clan shaman, a tall and slender figure strode over. It was Zhu Xiu, who had rushed back after sensing his partner's condition.

He exchanged a glance with Yin Ze and said briefly, "I'll take care of Wanwan. You go and watch the children. The clan shaman... doesn't need to be here for now. She has her own way of dealing with Wanwan's situation."

He was referring to Bai Wanwan's mysterious system.

"Okay." Yin Ze nodded immediately, stepped out, and gently closed the door, leaving them alone.

Zhu Xiu walked quickly to the bedside, knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed, his cold and slender fingers tightly grasping Bai Wan's slightly cold hand, and his other hand touched her forehead and cheeks that were slightly sweaty, his snake eyes full of concern: "Does it hurt a lot this time? Your face is a little pale."

"It hurt a little at first, but it's much better now."

After the initial contractions subsided, Bai Wanwan took a deep breath and focused her mind, saying, "Wait for me."
