Chapter 406 Launch
At the end of the second month of autumn, a slight chill filled the air, and the leaves had turned golden, as if nature was quietly painting a magnificent picture for the season. On such a peaceful and beautiful day, Ruan Mianmian suddenly signaled the start of production.
Everything happened so suddenly, yet it seemed as if it had all been preordained.
As the first rays of the morning sun gently fell upon the earth, Ruan Mianmian, still asleep, suddenly felt a stomachache without warning.
At first, the pain was faint and barely perceptible, but as time went on, it became stronger and stronger, like a surging tide, crashing against Ruan Mianmian's body wave after wave.
She shifted restlessly in bed, trying to alleviate the discomfort by changing positions. However, no matter how hard she tried, the pain remained, impossible to shake off.
Sen, who was sleeping next to her, quickly noticed Ruan Mianmian's unusual behavior. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the little female beside him with concern.
Ruan Mianmian's face was as pale as paper, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her lips were trembling slightly from the pain.
"Ruanruan? Are you feeling unwell?" Sen asked anxiously, his voice filled with worry and tension.
He gently reached out and stroked Ruan Mianmian's cheek, hoping to bring her some comfort.
Ruan Mianmian was gently woken up by Sen in her sleep. In her dazed state, she felt as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her abdomen. Her newly awakened consciousness was instantly overwhelmed by the intense pain.
She couldn't help but gasp, instinctively covering her stomach with both hands, her brows furrowing tightly.
"Sen... my stomach hurts terribly, am I going into labor?" Ruan Mianmian asked in a panic, clutching Sen's hand tightly as if it were her only lifeline in this turbulent sea.
The usually carefree and fearless woman appeared incredibly vulnerable and helpless at this moment.
Although she had imagined the birthing process countless times and thought she was fully prepared, when the moment actually came, she was completely flustered and had no idea how to cope.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian was experiencing waves of excruciating pain in her stomach, as if something was tearing at her internal organs, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
With each contraction, she would involuntarily let out a groan, and her body would tremble uncontrollably.
Sen Qiang calmed down. Although he was still flustered, he knew he had to stay composed.
"Don't be afraid, Ruanruan, I'll go and call Daman and Miyue over right now." With that, he rushed out the door.
In the tribe, females giving birth are always accompanied by females who have given birth before. On the one hand, the females are more experienced, and on the other hand, having someone accompany a female during childbirth is a comfort.
Sen ran frantically, the familiar road now seeming incredibly long. He shouted through the valley, "Miyue, Daman, the chief is about to give birth!"
At this moment, the beastmen in the valley all heard Sen's shouts.
All the females began running toward the chief's cabin.
"Yu, quickly find some hot water for the orcs. And one of you, go and find Zhi! Yong, don't go hunting today, keep an eye on the valley gate!" Mi Yue said as she ran, trying to calm them down. She was extremely anxious at the moment.
Daman was the first to arrive. She took a deep breath and went into the wooden house. Ruan Mianmian was in so much pain that she was almost fainting. She gritted her teeth and silently prayed that her child would be born soon.
Upon witnessing this scene, Daman's face turned deathly pale. She rushed to the bedside, knelt down, and tightly grasped Ruan Mianmian's trembling hands, saying in a concerned and anxious tone, "Chief, don't be afraid, I'm here with you. Giving birth will be quick; you'll be the first one, just push and it'll come out!"
As she spoke, she gently stroked Ruan Mianmian's forehead, trying to calm her down a little.
At the same time, her gaze quickly swept over Ruan Mianmian's body, carefully examining every possible problem area.
At that moment, Miyue, Rou, Xiao, and other females who had experienced the pain of childbirth rushed to the bedside like a tide.
Some of them whispered words of comfort to Ruan Mianmian, telling her that everything would be alright; others held Ruan Mianmian's other hand tightly, giving her strength and support; still others kept wiping the large beads of sweat from Ruan Mianmian's forehead to ease her pain.
The room was filled with a tense yet warm atmosphere.
At the same time, Ruan Mianmian had an urgent conversation with the system in her mind.
She gritted her teeth, enduring wave after wave of excruciating pain, and cried out in her heart, "System, tell me quickly, does the store have any painkillers? I really can't take it anymore, this pain is tearing me apart!"
Upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's plea for help, the system immediately began to quickly search for items in the store.
However, after searching, it replied helplessly, "Host, I'm sorry, I don't have the kind of regular painkillers you mentioned. However, I do have pain-inducing injections available."
Upon hearing the news of pain-free injections, Ruan Mianmian cried out as if she had grasped a lifeline, "Then sell them to me right away! I don't care how much it costs, as long as it can stop this damn pain!"
However, the system explained with difficulty: "Host, even if you buy the epidural, there is no one to administer it to you now! Moreover, the use of epidurals during childbirth requires a professional doctor."
Upon hearing the system's words, Ruan Mianmian felt a wave of despair wash over her.
She couldn't help but complain loudly, "Ah! What am I supposed to do? Am I just supposed to suffer like this and die? Didn't you always claim to be omnipotent? Why can't you even get a painkiller when it really matters, let alone give birth to my child!"
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian was in extreme pain and was somewhat delirious and talking nonsense.
Just then, Sen carefully carried in a stone urn filled with boiling hot water.
When he looked up, he saw the little female lying there helplessly, covered in sweat and with a face as pale as paper. His heart clenched and he rushed over quickly.
"Ruanruan, how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better?" Sen asked with concern and anxiety, his voice trembling involuntarily.
Hearing the familiar voice calling her name, Ruan Mianmian forced open her heavy eyelids. Looking at Sen, who was anxiously waiting for her, tears welled up in her eyes. She choked back sobs, feeling a little aggrieved, and said, "No, not at all! My whole body aches terribly. Waaah... Why does laying an egg hurt so much? You told me that laying eggs is easy for snakes!"
Faced with the little female's cries and accusations, Mori had long forgotten all the words he had once spoken. At this moment, all he could think about was how to stop his beloved from suffering like this.
Suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, Sen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Ruan Ruan, do you still have any miracle pills? You know, those magical pills you used to take all the time. I remember you said they could replenish energy and vitality. If you have any, take one and eat it. It might make you feel much better!"
Upon hearing Sen's suggestion, Ruan Mianmian grasped at it as if it were a lifeline and immediately reached into the system space to explore.
In no time, she took out a series of colorful pills of various shapes and sizes—there were smooth and round Qi-Nourishing Pills that emitted a delicate fragrance; there were crystal-clear Beast Spirit Pills that shimmered with a mysterious light; and there were brownish-red Qi-Boosting Pills, and so on.
These precious pills were specially made for her by that all-powerful exchange merchant, and each one contains powerful and pure medicinal power.
Thinking of this, Ruan Mianmian swallowed all the pills in her hand without hesitation.
In an instant, a torrent of heat surged through her body like a wild horse, bringing waves of tingling and warmth wherever it passed.
Gradually, this wonderful feeling spread throughout her body, as if countless warm little hands were gently caressing every inch of her skin and every bone in her body, and the originally unbearable pain gradually lessened.
Seeing that she had recovered, everyone in the cabin breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Zhi called out from outside, "Sen, how's the leader doing?"
Sen stepped out of the wooden house, where he found himself surrounded by rings of orcs, all eagerly watching him and waiting for their leader to give birth to a cub.
