Chapter 103: Chapter 103 - Delivery

Bai Di, who had been listening in silence, suddenly asked, “What do you want us to do to trust our sincerity?”

“Sincerity…” Xue Ling thought about it calmly. “Why don’t we do this? If you can solve the problem of our feather race’s low fertility rates, not only will we agree to move, but we’ll also help you mine.”

As soon as he said this, everyone present froze.

Shuang Yun was the first to react. He slammed the table and said angrily, “What does it have to do with us if you can’t have children? Why should we be responsible for helping your feather tribe manage such a trivial matter?!”

Xue Ling said, “I don’t care. In any case, I’ve said my piece. If you can accept it, we’ll continue talking. If you can’t accept it, we’ll part ways.”

Shuang Yun wanted to say something else, but Huanhuan pulled his wrist.

She shook her head at him. “Calm down. Leave this to me.”

Shuang Yun was skeptical. “Can you do it?”

“Let’s try it. It might work.”

Huanhuan had no experience in treating infertility, but she remembered that there were some medicinal herbs for infertility in the Ancient Flora and Flora Illustrations. She would study them later and perhaps think of a solution.

Huanhuan met Xue Ling’s gaze. “I agree to your conditions.”

Xue Ling had just casually made a condition. He did not expect her to really agree. He really did not know whether to say that she was too bold or too stupid and naive.

He looked at her with a half-smile. “Alright, then we have a deal. We’ll help you mine while you help us solve the problem of childbirth. If you dare lie to me, I won’t let you off.”

“Deal!”

As the leaders, Shuang Yun and Shen Yan could not find a chance to interrupt. They just watched as the two of them finalized the cooperation plan.

They really didn’t know who the leader was!

…

With the addition of the birds, the mining speed immediately doubled.

Huanhuan stayed at home and flipped through the sheepskin illustrated book. She marked out all the herbs that could treat infertility. She had most of the herbs here, but she was still short of a few. She would get someone to look for them in the forest later.

Sometimes, Xue Ling would come looking for her. Once, he came so suddenly that Huanhuan didn’t have time to clean up. He saw the sheepskin illustrated book in her hand.

Xue Ling’s expression immediately became meaningful.

“I was wondering how you had the guts to agree to my conditions. So, you’re hiding a secret weapon!”

“It’s none of your business!” Huanhuan panicked. Bai Di had warned her not to let anyone find the sheepskin illustrated book. Now that Xue Ling had seen it, would he reveal the secret?

Xue Ling saw her nervousness and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in your book. I won’t take anything from you.”

Huanhuan still didn’t want to talk to him.

She turned around and walked toward the kitchen. Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, she suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her stomach!

Huanhuan covered her stomach and paled.

Xue Ling caught her. “What’s wrong?”

“My stomach… hurts…”

Xue Ling glanced at her round stomach. “Don’t tell me you’re giving birth?”

It hurt like hell. “Put me on the bed, then inform Bai Di and Shuang Yun. They know what to do.”

Xue Ling picked her up in his arms and strode into the bedroom. He gently placed her on the bed, then opened her legs and looked down to check.

Huanhuan was both embarrassed and angry at his bold actions. “What are you doing?!”

Could it be that this guy was still thinking about being a hooligan?!

Without looking up, Xue Ling said, “I’ll help you deliver the babies.”

Huanhuan was stunned.

She stared at him in disbelief. “Y-You know how to deliver babies?”

Was he lying? This guy didn’t look like a midwife at all!

“I’m not a witch doctor, but if anyone in the tribe gets sick, they come to me. I’ve helped deliver pregnant women before. I’m experienced.” Xue Ling patted her thigh. “Relax. Don’t be too nervous.”

Huanhuan was slightly relieved to hear his words.

It was good that he was experienced…

Giving birth was really painful, especially since Huanhuan’s body was especially small. It was difficult for the cubs to come out if they were stuck inside.

Several times, she almost fainted from the pain.

She felt like she was about to die.

In her daze, a warm feeling flowed out of her stomach and spread throughout her body, easing her pain.

She thought she smelled the familiar scent of vegetation.

When the wolf cubs were finally born, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye rushed back.

The pink wolf cubs were in Xue Ling’s arms. He didn’t care that his clothes were dirty. He smiled and said, “There are four wolf cubs, and the eldest is a female. They’re all very healthy!”

Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye first looked at Huanhuan. Seeing that she was safe, they went to look at the newborn wolf cubs.

Shuang Yun was so excited that his dark green eyes were glowing.

He wiped his hands hard on his hide dress before carefully taking the four wolf cubs.

In the past, when he saw other people’s newborn wolf cubs, he would despise them for being ugly. But now that it was his wife who gave birth to them, he felt that these wolf cubs were really cute no matter how he looked at them!

How could there be such cute wolf cubs in this world?!

Bai Di went to the kitchen to cook some food for Huanhuan to replenish her strength.

Sang Ye slowly changed her dirty clothes and animal hide blanket. He held her in his arms. Looking at her pale and weak appearance, he couldn’t help but hug her tighter.

He touched her stomach gently. “Does it hurt?” he whispered.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It hurt a lot when I gave birth. I’m better now.”

Huanhuan looked at Shuang Yun and said weakly, “Show me the children.”

Shuang Yun immediately placed the wolf cubs in front of her and smiled very proudly. “Our children are really beautiful!”

Huanhuan glanced at the four wolf cubs and couldn’t help but frown. “They look like rats.”

Shuang Yun was very unconvinced. “How am I like a rat? I’m clearly cute!”

Xue Ling stabbed him from the side. “You do look like a rat. An ugly one.”

Shuang Yun’s gaze bore into him like knives.

Huanhuan said to Xue Ling, “Thank you for earlier.”

Xue Ling was calm. “It’s just a small matter.”

However, Shuang Yun looked at Xue Ling suspiciously. “How do you know how to deliver babies?”

“I’ve helped the females in my tribe give birth before. I have some experience.”

Sang Ye suddenly asked, “I remember that your feather tribe lays eggs like us snake beasts, right? Do you need to deliver eggs?”

Xue Ling: “…”

Seeing that he couldn’t answer, Shuang Yun immediately reacted. “You actually don’t know how to deliver babies, right?”
