Chapter 331: Chapter 331
Her mind was such a mess that she couldn’t even spot the most obvious logical problems.
"Did she really just sleep?" the snake beastman asked in bewilderment.
Yin Xiu nodded and said to the snake beastman, "Go heat up some water. You should help the lady clean up a bit. She must be uncomfortable ."
"Okay," he finally regained a shred of reason amidst his confusion.
As he was cleaning Si Yan, the sight of so much blood and water made his eyes redden.
So, over five years ago when Si Yan gave birth to four cubs, was she all alone, giving birth to them by herself? Just how much did he owe her...?
After Si Yan had laid the two Dragon Eggs, Tai Seng had entered the cave to help.
He constructed a temporary nest from branches and grass, lined it with soft beast skins, and placed the two Dragon Eggs inside.
One of the Dragon Eggs was purple and the other was gold.
Their colors were dazzling, and they occasionally emitted a shimmering light.
Si Yan woke up at night.
The recovery power of the Beast God’s blood was astonishingly strong.
When she awoke, she felt her body had mostly recovered; she didn’t even feel any pain. She only felt a bit weak, as if a couple of days’ rest would allow her to recover completely.
She opened her eyes and, not finding She Wang, was about to get up. But as she turned over, she saw a huge, purple Sen Ran coiled beside her.
Si Yan blinked her large, clear eyes. "Wang? What are you doing ?"
The snake beastman flicked his tongue at her.
Si Yan’s mind cleared, and she seemed to understand what he was doing. She got up from the beast skins and curiously asked him, "Are you incubating the eggs?"
The snake beastman’s upper body slowly transformed into human shape, revealing a stunningly handsome male before her.
He held out the purple and gold Dragon Eggs for her to see, a smile on his face.
He smiled gently and said softly, "Baby, look."
In her previous life, Si Yan was a human, after all. In this life, she had personally laid two eggs... The experience felt quite novel.
Si Yan’s eyes sparkled, a touch of maternal softness and radiance appearing in them.
Seeing her adorable expression, the snake beastman couldn’t help but bend down and gently kiss her lips.
He kissed her very carefully and tenderly, as if she were a fragile piece of porcelain.
Out of curiosity, Si Yan asked, "Which one is the female cub, and which is the male cub?" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs Nove1Fire.net
The snake beastman wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Do you want to guess?"
After thinking for a bit, Si Yan said, "I hope the male cub is like you. I think the purple one is the male, and the gold one is the female."
The snake beastman laughed.
He often smiled at her, but this was the first time she had seen him smile with such tenderness.
"You guessed right," the snake beastman said.
"Are you hungry?" the snake beastman asked gently. "Eat something first. Once you’re full, we’ll head back to the tavern."
"Alright," Si Yan smiled.
Although giving birth to the cubs was soul-crushingly painful, now, whether it was the influence of the Beast God’s blood or not, Si Yan felt quite good, full of vigor without any issues.
Si Yan held the purple and gold Dragon Eggs in her arms as the snake beastman scooped her up and they returned to the tavern.
The sky was clear, and the weather had turned gentle.
On the way, Si Yan overheard some beastmen discussing the recent events.
"Did you hear? The rainy season ended early?"
"It ended yesterday."
"A Priest in the city said that the early arrival of the rainy season was something they had predicted, so it should have been a natural change. However, no Priest foresaw its early conclusion. Not even the High Priest Bai Feng had predicted it. Therefore, it’s highly possible that the Beast God intervened."
"Does that mean the Beast God is still here? Hasn’t the Beast God abandoned us?"
"That’s great! It must be that the Beast God saw the suffering in the Beast World and intervened to end the rainy season ahead of time!"
"It’s good that it ended. With the premature end of the rainy season, we’ll have at least two more months of favorable weather, and the Wan Cheng Gathering can proceed as usual. Maybe we’ll even see the Beast God during the Priests’ competition! We’ll also have enough time to stock up on supplies!"
Old Gecko’s eyes darted around.
He hadn’t intervened. But he too felt that the rainy season had indeed ended prematurely. Who could have done it? Could it be that false deity? But why would that false deity want the rain to stop? This is really odd...
Si Yan had barely arrived at the tavern when she saw the four little ones frantically searching for her.
"Mommy!!" Bei Ji was the first to spot Si Yan, his snow-colored eyes lighting up as the little fellow hurried over.
"Mommy, where did you all go? We were so worried when we couldn’t find you."
"Do you know, we encountered a water monster! Uncle Five fought it—WHAM! BAM!—and in the end, the monster was completely obliterated!"
Little Nan Mo came running over too. He stared at Si Yan’s belly in shock. Mommy, why is your belly gone?
Dongchi and Xi Qing came over as well. Dongchi said, "Dummy, Mommy has given birth to our little brother and sister."
"Given birth?" Seven gasps of shock sounded!
Si Yan looked around and saw that Jin Tong, Jin Yang, Jin Kun, and Bi Yao were all there.
The four little ones, especially, looked at Si Yan with eyes full of eager anticipation.
Si Yan nodded. "Yes, they’ve been born."
Jin Tong, Jin Yang, and Jin Kun immediately felt awkward.
Their younger sister had given birth, and they, the uncles, hadn’t even been there! Worse, this was their first time seeing the eggs, and they hadn’t prepared any gifts...
With utmost care, Jin Tong asked, "Si Yan, were they Dragon Eggs or Snake Eggs this time?"
They would love them, whether they were Dragon Eggs or Snake Eggs. But if they were Dragon Eggs, like themselves from the Dragon Clan, they would be even more excited!
The four little ones excitedly said, "Mommy, where are the eggs? We want to see them!"
"They’re Dragon Eggs," Si Yan revealed, letting everyone catch a glimpse of the eggs.
The three Golden Dragon brothers were overjoyed!
The uncles and the little ones immediately showed expressions of eager anticipation.
"One purple, one gold! So beautiful!" exclaimed Xi Qing.
"They’re really beautiful; our little brother and sister are so beautiful," Bei Ji said, standing on tiptoe as he cautiously touched an eggshell. The Dragon Egg glowed gently in response.
A smile bloomed on Bei Ji’s face. "It responded to me! It must be a little sister!"
As Jin Yang and Jin Kun beheld the Dragon Eggs, their eyes filled with even more of the characteristic kindness and tenderness of uncles.
Si Yan was a Golden Dragon, their sister—a sister from their own clan, sharing the same bloodline. Even her eggs were Dragon Eggs. They truly were a family, bound by blood.
Jin Tong snapped back to reality and said, "Si Yan, you just gave birth and you’re weak. Don’t catch a chill; you should rest inside the house."
Si Yan wanted to say she really didn’t need to rest, but She Wang’s opinion was the same as Jin Tong’s.
"Baby, get inside quickly."
In She Wang’s eyes, Si Yan didn’t just need rest; she needed to observe the traditional postpartum confinement.
Si Yan couldn’t argue and eventually had to take the two Dragon Eggs back to her room.
Once everyone was in the room, they realized there was no Dragon Nest for incubating the Dragon Eggs.
Jin Yang, the fourth Golden Dragon brother, immediately called out, "You all stay here; I’ll go find Gold Thread Grass right away to weave a Dragon Nest for my nephew and niece!"
