Chapter 376 Double Yolk
"A little life?" Sen was momentarily stunned, still trying to grasp the meaning behind the words.
"Yes, the leader has a baby!" Zhi explained excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Upon hearing this, Sen froze instantly, as if struck by lightning.
Then, his previously bewildered eyes suddenly widened, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets. The expression on his face quickly changed from disbelief to an indescribable, immense joy.
He rushed to Ruan Mianmian's bedside in three strides, then his knees buckled and he knelt down with a thud. He reached out his slightly trembling hand and gently stroked Ruan Mianmian's belly, as if it held the most precious treasure in the world. His voice was hoarse and trembling with excitement: "Ruan Ruan, we...we have a baby."
Ruan Mianmian was stunned at first, clearly unprepared for this sudden news.
But soon, she recovered from her shock, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up, forming a happy and sweet smile.
At this moment, the tribespeople outside, who were busily preparing for the cleanup, also learned of this tremendous good news. In an instant, the already lively atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, with cheers rising higher and higher, deafeningly loud.
Everyone's face was filled with genuine joy, and they cheered and jumped for joy, constantly sharing this happiness with each other.
For the entire tribe, it is undoubtedly of great significance for the leader to have his own offspring.
This not only means that the ethnic group can continue to reproduce, but also symbolizes inheritance and hope.
Especially when they thought that their leader was an incomparably noble goddess, their hearts were filled with boundless anticipation—since their leader was a goddess, then the offspring she gave birth to must be divine children with extraordinary abilities!
Zhi watched all this with tears in his eyes. From this moment on, he would protect the chief and the tribe. Everyone shared the same belief as Zhi, and in an instant, the valley of the Eastern Tribe was surrounded by the beastmen like an iron barrel.
Ruan Mianmian herself didn't actually feel anything. If Sen hadn't called the Great Witch and the others over, she probably wouldn't have even known she had an egg inside her.
It should be an egg, right? A snake, or rather a dragon, should be an egg, right?
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian had a thirst for knowledge, so she quickly released the system that had been locked in the dark room.
"Host, you've gone too far! You've locked me up for so long! I've wanted to tell you about your pregnancy for a long time, but you've silenced me, how can I tell you!"
Before Ruan Mianmian could utter a single word, her mind was filled with the incessant chatter of the system.
"Stop! If you keep complaining like that, I'll lock you in that little dark room again!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the system immediately shut down its electronic voice; it was still quite pragmatic.
"System, please examine me now and check my physical condition. Also, please determine what I'm carrying—an egg or a fetus?"
The system was silent for a moment, then said, "Host, after testing, it is confirmed that you do indeed have egg-shaped embryos in your abdomen. Moreover, these eggs contain powerful energy fluctuations, and this energy is very peculiar, not belonging to any conventional energy type in my current database. However, it can be confirmed that they do not harm you, host; on the contrary, they are nourishing your body."
These? Them? Wait! Them!
"System, you just mentioned them?" Ruan Mianmian asked in confusion.
"Yes, host, after testing, you now have two eggs inside you!"
Ruan Mianmian was stunned when she heard this. Sen saw the little female's unreadable expression and couldn't help but worry.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ever since he learned that Ruan Mianmian was pregnant, Sen had become extremely anxious. He had never been a father before and had no experience, but every move the little female made tugged at his heartstrings.
After hearing Sen's words, Ruan Mianmian looked at him and said, "Sen, I have two eggs in my belly!"
Upon hearing this, Sen froze on the spot. The Beastman Continent hadn't seen multiple births for decades; that is to say, for decades now, regardless of species, beastmen have only ever given birth to one offspring at a time.
There is a reason for this situation. In the past, due to racial reasons, many orcs had multiple births, resulting in the birth of many baby orcs.
However, orcs are a race that survives the fittest, and with changes in the environment and climate, it is difficult for all the cubs to survive. Some tribes have even begun to abandon or discard cubs that are not physically strong or have poor aptitude.
From that time onward, the mysterious and powerful Beast God silently unleashed his awe-inspiring power, slowly stripping each race of its abilities.
Whether it was the fierce lions, the agile leopards, or the gentle deer, none were spared.
Even more astonishingly, once a female animal becomes pregnant, she can only give birth to one offspring; there are no cases of multiple births.
From that time onward, people in various tribes gradually became aware of some subtle changes in their surroundings and their own circumstances.
At first, the change was not obvious, but as time went on, more and more signs showed that things were different from before.
However, not all tribes were able to adapt to such changes quickly; some tribes continued to follow their old customs.
It is precisely because of this that, like Sen, Yu, and those poor little creatures who were initially picked up in the cave, they were ultimately cruelly abandoned for various reasons.
When Sen learned that Ruan Mianmian was pregnant with twins, he was utterly shocked!
His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He hurriedly leaned forward and asked anxiously, "Ruanruan, if there really are two little babies in your belly, will it have any negative effects on your health?"
You see, his beloved little female was completely different from other female beastmen. She was petite and delicate, as if a gentle breeze could knock her over; her whole body was soft and fluffy, making one want to protect her with utmost care. Therefore, Sen simply couldn't imagine the difficulties and challenges that such a delicate woman would face in simultaneously nurturing two lives.
Feeling equally worried, Ruan Mianmian hesitated for a moment before deciding to seek help from the system that had been silently protecting her.
She closed her eyes tightly and whispered the system's name in her mind, hoping to get a definite answer to dispel her inner unease.
After scanning for a moment, the system responded: "Host, given your current physical condition, although carrying twin eggs will be a slight burden, it will not be a problem as long as you take good care of yourself."
After hearing this, Ruan Mianmian nodded gently, feeling slightly relieved.
Sen nervously grasped her hand and asked, "You mean everything's alright?"
Ruan Mianmian kissed his pale lips and said, "I'm fine, don't worry!"
Then the shaman walked in, circled around Ruan Mianmian, muttered incantations, and finally smiled and said, "The leader is blessed with great fortune. These two little lives will surely be born safely and will definitely become great men in the future."
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Ruan Mianmian looked worried: "But I don't know how to raise two children. I'm like a child myself."
Sen pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Ruanruan, I'm here, and the whole tribe will help you."
As the days went by, Ruan Mianmian's belly gradually grew larger. Sen took great care of her every day, finding all sorts of nourishing foods for her.
Others in the tribe also sent various gifts, including soft furs to make beds and fresh fruit to keep them entertained.
Ruan Mianmian felt a surge of love, and her worries gradually dissipated. She began to look forward to the arrival of the two little lives, believing that with everyone's care and support, she would be able to successfully welcome the new life.
