Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

As she saw Ding Wanru off, she stopped outside the courtyard and said, "Xiulian is heavily pregnant and it's inconvenient for us to share a room. If you really need to, come to my place."

Chen Yongqiang felt a warmth in his heart. Since his rebirth, many things had changed, and Ding Wanru's kindness was a warmth he hadn't expected but had truly grasped.

In my past life, I was living in a daze, only focused on the struggle for survival, and completely overlooked such a good person by my side.

What he didn't know was that some deep-seated feelings cannot be nurtured by everyday words; they often require the warmth of physical intimacy to be fully ignited and to confirm each other's existence.

"I understand. I'll go over sometime after I'm settled here." Chen Yongqiang couldn't let this sentiment go to waste, whether emotionally or as a man's most basic physiological need.

Ding Wanru's cheeks seemed slightly flushed in the snowy light: "Let's stop here. The road is slippery. Go back and keep an eye on Xiulian."

Her figure quickly disappeared into the misty snow.

Chen Yongqiang stood there for a while before turning around and going home.

Lin Xiulian was resting against the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) when Chen Yongqiang went to the stove to boil water and took out the calming tea bag left by Ding Wanru.

Taking advantage of Lin Xiulian's inattention, he subtly took out a pot of spiritual spring water from that mysterious space known only to himself.

After a while, Chen Yongqiang brought over a bowl of calming tea brewed with spiritual spring water and handed it to Lin Xiulian: "Drink it while it's hot and get a good night's sleep."

Lin Xiulian took it, blew on it, and slowly drank it. In just a moment, the slight pallor left on her face from the shock faded, replaced by an inner peace.

"Sister Wanru's herbal tea is amazing. Not long after I drank it, I felt all the panic in my heart disappear, and my whole body felt warm and relaxed."

Chen Yongqiang took the bowl and mumbled, "It's good that it works."

But deep down, they knew that what was even more miraculous was the spiritual spring water.

This stuff seems to have a remarkable effect on regulating the body, calming the nerves, and relieving anxiety, and it works very quickly.

It seems we need to be more cautious in using it in the future, and we also need to find a more reasonable way to use it on Lin Xiulian to help her get through her pregnancy smoothly.

To everyone's surprise, another accident occurred the next day.

Chen Yongqiang was woken up by Lin Xiulian's urgent push.

Just as dawn was breaking, the yard echoed with the frightened flapping of chickens and their short, mournful cries.

His heart sank. He threw on his clothes and rushed out, only to find that the rope used to tether the wolf had been bitten through.

Beside the henhouse, there were scattered feathers and bloodstains, and another half-grown rooster was already dead.

Sirius was crouching in the snow a little further away, his mouth bright red, licking his front paws.

Hearing the noise, he looked up at Chen Yongqiang. His eyes no longer held the restraint of yesterday; instead, they carried a calmness that came from a wild, triumphant victory.

A surge of anger welled up in Chen Yongqiang's head. All the training he had done during this period had been in vain.

The nature of this beast is not something that can be erased in a short time. On the contrary, yesterday's training may have stimulated its competitive spirit, making it even more aggressive.

Chen Yongqiang, his face ashen, walked back into the house without a word. When he came out again, he had the double-barreled shotgun slung over his shoulder.

He picked up the broken rope from the ground, tied a tight noose, and walked step by step toward Sirius.

Sirius seemed to sense the cold anger emanating from him, and stopped squatting and stood up.

It let out a low, wary growl, bared its teeth slightly, and lowered its forelimbs, assuming a defensive and pouncing stance.

Chen Yongqiang kept walking, his eyes sharp as knives. He was a few steps away.

He swung his arm, the noose flew out, and wrapped it around Sirius's neck, then tightened it forcefully.

Sirius was jolted off balance, struggled to his feet, let out an angry roar, and tried to turn back and bite the rope.

Chen Yongqiang showed no mercy, using skillful force to pull it closer, picked up another piece of broken rope from the ground, and quickly tied its four legs together.

"Looks like they really can't be tamed." His voice was cold and hard.

He left Lin Xiulian, who came out after hearing the noise, with a sentence: "I'm going out for a bit. Watch the house."

After saying that, he grabbed the rope binding Tianlang and dragged the unwilling creature towards Qinglong Mountain behind the mountain.

Along the way, Tianlang struggled and whimpered, occasionally trying to turn back and bite the rope or Chen Yongqiang's trouser leg, but he was pulled away fiercely each time.

The warmth that had been built up over the months of feeding was now completely worn away by the potential threat.

To say he felt no reluctance would be a lie, but Chen Yongqiang knew even better that letting an uncontrollable predator linger among livestock and people was foolish kindness.

He couldn't bring himself to kill it, but releasing it back into the mountains to fend for itself was its best, and only, way out.

Upon reaching the foot of Qinglong Mountain, Chen Yongqiang stopped and untied the restraints on Tianlang's four legs and neck.

"You're free! Go back to where you are!"

Sirius, now free, staggered for a moment and shook off the snow-covered fur.

It didn't seem to immediately understand the meaning of exile; instead, it felt relieved to be freed from its restraints and happily rolled around in the snow.

Then it trotted around Chen Yongqiang a couple of times, looked up at him, and even wagged its tail tentatively, as if asking what to do next.

Chen Yongqiang stopped looking at it, hardened his heart, and turned to leave.

After walking a few hundred meters, I heard the faint sound of footsteps on snow behind me.

Chen Yongqiang turned around and saw that Tianlang had followed him. When he turned around, Tianlang stopped and sat in the snow, looking at him with a somewhat blank and stubborn expression.

A nameless rage rose within Chen Yongqiang. He took the hunting rifle from his shoulder, its dark muzzle pointing at Tianlang, several dozen paces away.

"Get out of here! If you follow me again, don't blame me for being heartless!"

Just as that resolute rebuke was about to escape his lips, a system notification sounded in Chen Yongqiang's mind:

[Sensing that the Guardian is facing a choice regarding their bonds, Talent: Contract Function Unlocked]

[Target detected: Unawakened Descendant of the Azure Wolf.]

[Using the brain of the Wild Boar King within this space, supplemented with Tranquilizing Herbs and Spirit Spring Water... one can roughly refine a Soul-Stabilizing and Spirit-Awakening Powder, which has a chance to stabilize beastly nature and greatly increase affinity.]

Chen Yongqiang pointed his gun: "Contract pets! The system has this function too?"
