Chapter 128: Pregnant with a Beast Cub Again
……
Ten days later——
Bai Susu was pregnant again. She lay on the couch in the yard, basking in the sun, cracking melon seeds and enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Mei Wuzhi and Lan You took the mermaids and fox orcs to survey the land in the back mountain that was suitable for growing rice.
They followed Bai Susu's instructions, pulled out the weeds in the soil, and left them there. When the weeds rotted, they became nutrients for the soil. After that, they improved the soil conditions, learned how to grow rice, and improved their living conditions and environment.
Before, the elephant orcs appeared and disrupted her plan. Now that the elephant orcs have been dealt with, she and her beast husbands also began to take action.
Recently, she exchanged mines with the system and reburied the previous minefield. The area at the foot of the mountain was also divided into areas with iron nets. Traps were set up again in all places that could lead up to the mountain, and orcs were sent to guard them in turns. The orcs passing by along the way no longer dared to step into the vicinity, and it became much safer.
Bai Susu gently stroked her belly and rubbed it lovingly. She still had 400 points left, so she had to use them sparingly if she wanted to redeem anything in the future.
She glanced at the system page and calculated the items she had exchanged recently. She exchanged the most food and technology items, as well as those needed for daily life.
At this rate, the speed at which she gained points by giving birth to cubs would not keep up with the speed at which she could use them, so she had to find a way to solve the problems of food and clothing.
"System," Bai Susu called softly, "I'm pregnant with a cub again this time. Do I still get two designated rewards?"
Ever since she became pregnant with a cub for the second time, she would receive two additional designated rewards every time she became pregnant with a cub. These designated rewards would also be refreshed based on her recent environment and the items she needed, for her to choose from.
As soon as she spoke, the system appeared with a beep.
[The host can choose two designated rewards. ]
The interface in front of Bai Susu changed. She glanced at it for a few seconds and finally chose "Clothing Manufacturing Secrets" and "Rice and Fruit and Vegetable Planting Secrets."
She chose these two secret books, and before the cubs were born, she improved the quality of the barren land in the back mountain. After the cubs were born, she used the two secret books to try to grow rice and vegetables, improve her living conditions, and save points.
Bai Susu leaned back in the chair, the sun shining on her, making her feel warm. She glanced sideways and saw the white tiger and fox cubs lying on the climbing frames and platforms built for the cubs in the yard to bask in the sun.
The cubs were fast asleep, their bellies slightly raised, and if you listened carefully you could hear them snoring. The white tiger cubs had snow-white fur covered in a lot of dirt, and looked as gray as rag dolls.
Only the white female fox cub was spotless, as white as snow. The other two red male fox cubs also had large patches of dirt on their bodies, and their originally bright red fur had become dirty and messy.
Bai Susu rubbed her forehead helplessly. She had just washed the fur of the cubs this morning. They followed Bai Po around the stone house and came back covered in dirt.
On the other hand, the mermaid cubs who have not yet transformed into animal form, and are only about two months old, can only stay in the reservoir and bask in the sun in the yard. Their bodies are clean, and their tails are shining in the sunlight, which is quite beautiful.
"Susu." Bai Po walked out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of chicken soup in his hand, and brought it to Bai Susu: "Susu, this is the chicken soup I stewed for you, how does it taste?"
When Bai Susu turned around, she saw Bai Po walking towards her, covered in dust. There were mud marks left by the beast cub on his white hair, and soot on his face. Only his eyes were clear and beautiful.
Bai Po is impatient, good at fighting and knows nothing about cooking. Even after Mei Wuzhi taught him for a long time, he still has the ability to blow up an iron pot.
Today he and Cang Xiao stayed in the stone house to take care of her and the cub. She had a poor appetite, so Bai Po tried to stew chicken soup for her.
"Susu, try it quickly." Bai Po put the chicken soup on the table in front of her. He half-knelt in front of her, looking up at her, his eyes full of anticipation. His tiger ears shook excitedly, and his gaze followed her.
"Okay." Bai Susu responded and looked down. The chicken soup was light in color, with a hint of chicken oil and a few red dates floating on it. The taste was not strong.
There were still a few hairs on the chicken and the meat was crushed into small pieces. Bai Susu was afraid that Bai Po would be sad, so she took a light bite and swallowed it reluctantly.
The first bite has a strong fishy smell and not enough salt. The taste of cinnamon, pepper and star anise is very strong, and the fishy smell is mixed with many other weird flavors.
Bai Susu stirred the food slightly with her spoon, and a pile of ingredients floated to the surface. Her face looked a little bad. Bai Po said cautiously, "Susu, what's wrong? Does it taste bad?"
She nodded and said bluntly, "Bai Po, maybe it's because I'm pregnant with the beast cub. My taste buds are sensitive and I've become picky about food. I've always eaten Wu Zhi's food, so I might not be used to your cooking."
After taking this bite, Bai Susu instantly felt nauseous. She didn’t like it.
Noticing that Bai Po was a little disappointed, she knew that Bai Po wanted her to eat and drink well so that she would be healthy, but Bai Po was not suitable for cooking.
If she encouraged Bai Po, he would be enthusiastic about cooking again next time, but she couldn't bear to discourage him. She changed the topic and said, "Bai Po, let Wu Zhi cook from now on. Wu Zhi likes to cook. You can help him or accompany me."
Mei Wuzhi, as a fox, is not only charming and seductive, but also likes to cook. After getting a cookbook last time, he has been studying cooking whenever he has free time. He is talented and smart, and he can learn things quickly.
"Okay." Bai Po swung his tail slightly and lowered his head with a bit of loss.
Bai Susu put the bowl down and said, "Bai Po, come and hug me. I need you to accompany me."
Bai Po's eyes suddenly lit up, and he moved closer to Bai Susu and hugged her gently. Seeing this, Cang Xiao, who was guarding the gate of the courtyard, had a hint of envy in his eyes.
Although he became Bai Susu's beastly husband, he was still inferior and sensitive. He would stand guard at the door during the day and only go into the house after dark.
Cang Xiao sensed some movement, his ears pricked up and swayed slightly, and then he saw a female mermaid walking towards him with a hide bag in her mouth.
He turned around and said, "Susu, a female is coming."
Bai Po turned his head to look outside and quickly supported Bai Susu: "Susu, it's A Yao who is here."
Bai Susu sat up, her eyes fixed on the courtyard gate. She saw A Yao walking past Cang Xiao, her whole body tense as she quickly walked inside. Seeing Bai Susu, A Yao smiled and greeted her: "Sister Bai, I heard that you are pregnant with a cub again. I came to visit you and thank you again for your help recently."
A Yao opened the animal skin bag in her hand, which contained dried meat she had dried herself, as well as some sweet and sour wild fruits.
Bai Susu asked Bai Po to bring a stool to A Yao and motioned A Yao to sit down. Bai Po also poured a glass of water for A Yao in time, and A Yao picked up the water and drank it all.
"Ayao, your face has almost recovered." Bai Susu's gaze fell on Ayao's face. The face that was once rotten had regained its original beauty, with only a few faint marks left, which could not be seen without a close look.
A-Yao stroked her cheek gently, her smile deepening, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thanks to the medicine Sister Bai gave me, my face has recovered."
A Yao paused and blushed, and told Bai Susu about recent events. Ever since she became pregnant with the cub, Bai Susu was too lazy to move around. When she heard A Yao mention the matters of the tribe, she listened with a gossipy look on her face.
A Yao: "Ever since my appearance was restored, I've become partners with Wuji. Because Wuji is a snake beast, many beastmen in the tribe dislike him, so I kept it a secret. I came here today to tell Sister Bai the news."
"Congratulations, A Yao has become a partner with the male she likes." Bai Susu had known for a long time that A Yao and Wu Ji had become a partner. Since A Yao didn't say anything, she pretended not to know. Seeing A Yao's happy face, Bai Susu also gave her sincere blessings.
A Yao smiled and said, "Sister Bai, ever since I became a three-striped beast, the females in the tribe have been working harder and harder, spending four hours every day practicing."
"Thanks to Sister Bai, we are all getting better and better. In the past two days, five females from the three major tribes have been promoted to the second level."
"Really?" Bai Susu was happy. There were more than 400 orcs in the three major tribes, and there were only 50 females in total.
Among them, she is the only four-striped female, A-Yao is the only three-striped female, there is no two-striped female, and the rest are one-striped females.
Through the methods provided by the system, more and more females began to strengthen their bodies, eat herbs to improve their physical condition, and practice every day. After a month and a half, five females were promoted to two-striped beasts.
In the beast world, the higher you advance, the harder it becomes. Some beastmen are not highly qualified, and some may stop at the second, third, or fourth pattern, or even fail to advance, mutate, and eventually die. In the end, there are more and more mutated beasts and fewer and fewer normal beastmen, and orcs are very likely to become extinct in the future.
In the system's words, the poor quality of the beast cubs led to their poor qualifications, and some could not even break through a single pattern, so she was asked to change it.
Nowadays, females are becoming more and more powerful. Not only can their survival ability be improved, but their physique is also getting stronger. The cubs they give birth to will also be stronger than before, which will increase the survival rate of the cubs and thus change the quality of the cubs.
A Yao stared at Bai Susu's belly, then glanced at the rows of sleeping cubs beside her. She stroked her belly and sighed, "Sister Bai, Wuji and I have been together for over ten days. I have average fertility, so I don't know when I'll be able to conceive a cub..."
