Chapter 612 Accident
"us?"
“Hmm, but I don’t think it’s safe outside. I’ll go by myself, and you stay in the tribe.”
Bai Wanwan also felt that although things seemed peaceful on the surface recently, the hidden dangers had not been eliminated, and she did not feel that it was truly safe outside.
Although Chief Rong was a Crimson-rank expert, the other side seemed to have quite a few Crimson-rank experts as well.
She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When?"
"It's still early. I can wait until you give birth to this baby before we set off."
Bai Wanwan nodded. If it was still early, they could discuss it further.
***
For the next few days, Jiaoyuan was completely immersed in the joy of playing with his grandchildren.
When he saw and recognized all of Bai Wanwan's dozens of lively and adorable cubs with different fur colors, the dragon chieftain, who was used to seeing all kinds of storms, was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. His usually dignified face was always covered with an almost silly smile.
One moment he was holding a chubby leopard cub high in the air, the next he was carefully soaking a baby mermaid in water, and then he was teasing a baby phoenix with a strange, glowing seashell...
His meticulously styled hair was often messed up by the mischievous little ones, but he didn't care at all.
Originally intending to stay for only a few days, he had already put the affairs of his clan out of his mind, completely enjoying himself and not wanting to think about going back at all.
Six or seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and news from the outside world came in intermittently, as if the chaos that swept across the continent had truly subsided completely.
Many orc tribes that were originally dependent on the tiger clan began to stir, their desire to return home and rebuild their lives rekindled.
That day, Yan Lie returned from hunting, his brow furrowed with worry. He sought out Bai Wanwan to discuss the matter: "Wanwan, after my father and the others saw that it was safe outside, they plan to lead their people back to their original territory in the next couple of days to begin rebuilding. But... I just can't shake this feeling of unease. What do you think?"
Bai Wanwan was tidying up the cubs' toys when she heard this. She paused, looked up at him, and said with a clear and calm gaze, "I feel the same way you do. This calm came too suddenly and too completely, which is unsettling. The orcs controlled by dark energy will never disappear into thin air. The real crisis may not have fully erupted yet. Perhaps... we should persuade your father and the others to stay a little longer and see how things go. Their safety is more important than anything else."
Yan Lie immediately nodded emphatically: "Okay! I'll go and explain it to them right away."
With her words, he felt more confident in persuading his clansmen.
As soon as Yan Lie left, Jiao Yuan came over from another room carrying the little mermaid baby who was most attached to him. His movements were skillful and gentle, a trait he had developed over the past few days.
He looked at Bai Wanwan, his tone questioning, "Wanwan, the baby seems a little hungry. He should be able to try eating some meat now. I'll go get him some of the tenderest fish, is that alright?"
Although he felt there was absolutely no problem, he always followed his female offspring's opinion.
During this period of spending time together, watching him clumsily yet sincerely try to integrate and care for the cubs, Bai Wanwan's relationship with him gradually became more familiar and relaxed.
This rare warmth made Jiao Yuan even more attached to it, and reluctant to leave.
"Okay, feed her a little less." Bai Wanwan carefully instructed.
"Do not worry!"
With permission granted, Jiao Yuan immediately beamed and carried the babbling mermaid baby towards the kitchen.
Bai Wanwan turned around and went downstairs, preparing to bring in the quilts and various clothes that had been drying in the yard.
Just as I reached the door, I encountered Shuanghua, who had come to visit.
"Wanwan," Shuanghua said with a smile, holding a small stone jar in her hand. "These are sweet berries that the chief just brought back from the forest. They looked so fresh, so I made them into jam. I brought some over for you; the children should like them." Bai Wanwan quickly took the jar, opened it, and smelled the sweet and fragrant aroma. A genuine smile of delight appeared on her face: "Thank you, Aunt Shuang. You always think of us. Your cooking is so good; it smells wonderful."
Shuanghua smiled gently, her gaze inadvertently passing over Bai Wanwan's shoulder and catching sight of Jiaoyuan inside the house, who was holding the mermaid baby and preparing food with a focused expression.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and her tone carried a hint of barely perceptible emotion as she whispered, "He really likes you kids."
“Yes,” Bai Wanwan also looked back, her tone calm, “The kids like him too, and they’re very close to him.”
Because he genuinely cares for the cubs, Bai Wanwan has become a bit gentler towards him now.
"Aunt Shuang, please come in and have a seat."
Shuanghua immediately shook her head, her smile still gentle, but with a clear decision: "No, I just brought you some things, I should go back now."
She didn't want to run into Jiao Yuan; she'd seen him enough before.
"You should go back and rest too. Aunt Shuang will come to see you again tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned around and left with a composed gait.
A few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Wanwan's pregnant belly had already swollen high, like she was carrying a round and plump fruit.
This put the father beast, who had finally managed to ease the tension with the female cub, into an unprecedented state of high stress.
He stayed by Bai Wanwan's side almost every step of the way, his cautious and careful manner as if she were some fragile piece of glass.
He kept the other beastmen who wanted to get close to Wanwan out of the way, causing the males to complain, but they couldn't do anything about it.
The sun was shining brightly and the weather was warm. Bai Wanwan quickly said to Hua Han beside her, "Hua Han, come for a walk with me."
Hua Han's peach blossom eyes immediately curved into a smile, and she replied without hesitation, "Okay, where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Jiao Yuan, who had been sitting by the window seemingly resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up, strode over to Bai Wanwan, and said with concern in his eyes, "Wanwan, you're about to give birth. You should rest at home. What if... what if you bump into something..."
He stopped mid-sentence, but the tension on his face remained undiminished.
Bai Wanwan smiled helplessly and comforted him, "Father, don't be too nervous. I went through the same thing when I gave birth to my cubs. Pregnant women can't stay in the room all the time. They need to go out and get some sun and move around a bit. It's good for both the delivery and the cubs."
She has a special constitution, and can give birth to healthy offspring even if she doesn't see sunlight for many years. But at this moment, she longs for the fresh air and open view outside.
After saying that, he got up and walked out.
Jiaoyuan was worried because he couldn't persuade her.
He immediately replied, "Then the father beast will go with you!"
So, Hua Han and Jiao Yuan, one on each side, like two most loyal guardian deities, carefully escorted Bai Wanwan out the door.
The air outside the tribe was crisp with autumn air, and the temperature was just right for Bai Wanwan, who was pregnant.
Looking at the distant, rolling mountains and the orderly scene in the tribe, she felt her heart expand and her mood brighten, and she grew to love this land that she was gradually becoming familiar with even more.
However, as they were taking a leisurely stroll and passing by the nursery, an unexpected incident occurred!
