I Transmigrated as a Villainess to Raise Babies, and My Beast Husbands Are Fighting Madly Over Me!

Chapter 285: Delivery

"Let’s go. It’ll get hot soon, and the cubs will be uncomfortable."

Summer was growing more intense. It was only cool right after waking up in the morning. Once the sun came out, the heat would become unbearable.

"Mother, it’s a baby Unicorne Sheep Beast."

Qiao Xixi led them over. Hearing the commotion, the wild beasts grew frightened and tried to run, but they were trapped in the enclosure and had nowhere to go.

"BAA~"

"MEOW?" The tiger cub stared at a black-furred, long-tusked snorting beast not far away. It seemed to be the fiercest one in the entire enclosure.

"An’an, not yet. They haven’t been tamed. It’s dangerous to go near them right now."

The half-grown, black-furred, long-tusked snorting beast stomped its feet back and forth anxiously. It glared at Qiao Xixi and the others, on high alert and ready to attack at any moment.

"Sangze, that black-furred, long-tusked snorting beast is too dangerous. Why don’t we separate it and pen it up alone?"

"Okay, I’ll go grab it and move it to that enclosure over there."

They had built several enclosures before. Since they had only caught a few wild beasts so far, there was still plenty of space.

"Qiaoqiao, Xiya, you said you wanted to raise beast pets. Take a look and see if there are any you like."

"Okay, okay."

The children happily stood outside the enclosure, picking out their favorite potential pets.

The tiger cub also squirmed her round little body, eager to get down.

Qiao Xixi sighed helplessly and could only hold her by the edge of the enclosure to let her watch.

"AWOO, AWOO BABA~"

The tiger cub’s big eyes were fixed on a three-horned sheep beast trembling in the corner. She waved her little hands, wanting it.

Qiao Xixi saw that the three-horned sheep beast was probably less than a month old; its horns hadn’t even grown in yet. It wouldn’t hurt to let An’an play with it.

"AWOO AWOO MEOW!~" The tiger cub babbled, as if she were saying something to the baby three-horned sheep beast.

Qiao Xixi found this amusing. "An’an, it can’t understand you. If you want to play with it, Mother will have Sangze, the father beast, catch it for you."

The tiger cub ignored Qiao Xixi, her little mouth still babbling nonstop.

’Baa baa, come here, come play with me, baa baa~’

Qiao Xixi looked up and saw Sangze already walking over. She was about to speak, but when she glanced down, she saw that the baby three-horned sheep that had been trembling in the distance was now right in front of them.

Qiao Xixi was a little surprised. ’When did it get here?’

The tiger cub danced with joy, squirming her way out of Qiao Xixi’s arms.

Qiao Xixi had no choice but to put her down inside the enclosure to play.

"BAA~"

"HAHAHAHA."

The three-horned sheep beast nudged the tiger cub’s body with its head, making her burst out laughing.

Seeing she was having fun, Qiao Xixi didn’t worry about her anymore. This enclosure mostly held things like Long-eared Rabbit Beasts, which weren’t strong enough to hurt the cubs.

"Clan Leader, Clan Leader! The Hunting Team brought back a female Tree-horned Deer Beast yesterday! I think she’s about to give birth."

Hearing this, Qiao Xixi glanced into the distance, then said to Qiao Lie and the others, "Qiao Lie, you all play here for a bit. Mother is going to the front to take a look."

Qiao Lie nodded with a serious look on his little face. "Be careful, Mother."

"Mm."

Qiao Xixi followed the beastman guard to a smaller enclosure up ahead.

As soon as she got close, the Tree-horned Deer Beast inside let out a painful cry.

It was lying on the ground with blood pooling beneath it, whimpering continuously. It looked to be in great pain.

"Looks like a difficult birth."

The beastman guard said anxiously, "I’ll go get the tribe’s shaman right away."

"Okay."

"Xiaoyao, quickly look up how to deliver a baby Tree-horned Deer Beast."

"Ha, midwifery? Let me check."

While waiting, Qiao Xixi brought out some Spiritual Spring water and gave it to the deer to drink.

After drinking the Spiritual Spring water, it seemed to regain some of its energy.

"Xiaoyao, in this situation, would it be useful to bring Qiaoqiao over?"

"Host, this Tree-horned Deer Beast is having a difficult birth because the fetus is in a breech position. Qiaoqiao’s Healing Skill won’t be very effective for this. You’ll have to find a way to help her deliver the baby. I’ll input the method and procedure into your brain now, ’kay?"

After receiving the information, Qiao Xixi’s brow furrowed. The Tree-horned Deer Beast had already started kicking its legs. If the baby couldn’t be delivered soon, the mother would be in danger too.

"Don’t be afraid. I’m here to help you deliver your baby." Qiao Xixi entered the enclosure and gently soothed the beast.

Qiao Xixi’s touch seemed to have a calming power, and gradually, the Tree-horned Deer Beast settled down.

She squatted down and, following the steps Xiaoyao had given her, felt the beast’s belly.

’The fetus is lying sideways in the womb. No wonder she can’t give birth.’

"Can I turn the fetus directly?"

"Okay. I’ll give it a try."

Qiao Xixi took a deep breath and slowly turned the fetus in the womb. She actually managed to move it into the correct position.

"Good."

When the next contraction came, the Tree-horned Deer Beast cried out, and its baby slid out.

"It’s born! It’s born!"

Seeing the newborn, Qiao Xixi couldn’t help but cry out in pleasant surprise. This was her first time delivering a baby, and the feeling was truly incredible.

Qiao Xixi didn’t notice that while she was focused on the delivery, a figure was standing behind a tree, watching her in a daze.

Only after confirming the Tree-horned Deer Beast was fine did Qiao Xixi stand up. As soon as she did, she saw someone standing by a tree not far away.

When the person saw Qiao Xixi look his way, he nervously lowered his head. But then, as if struck by a thought, he lifted his head again, looked at her, and mustered the courage to walk over.

"Clan Leader, you’re amazing."

Qiao Xixi saw it was the beastman who guarded the enclosures and smiled. "It was my first time trying, I didn’t expect it to be a success. This is a good start for our tribe."

As long as these wild beasts could reproduce, cycle after cycle, they would have more and more.

When Qiao Xixi smiled like that, the male beastman was completely captivated.

"She just gave birth, so feed her a little extra for a while. Let her stay here for now. Don’t mix her in with the others."

Qiao Xixi gave her instructions one by one, but when she finished, she heard no response. She looked up, surprised, only to meet his dazed, infatuated gaze.

"Did you understand?"

The male Hua Bao snapped back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, Clan Leader."

Qiao Xixi nodded and prepared to leave.

"Alright, I’m going to go check on other things now."

Seeing that Qiao Xixi was about to leave, the male Hua Bao grew anxious. He strode forward and blocked her path.

"Clan Leader, wait."

Qiao Xixi looked up, puzzled. "What is it? Is there something else?"

The male Hua Bao’s heart pounded as he met her azure eyes. All of his usual boldness vanished in that instant.

But soon, he mustered his courage again.

"Clan Leader, please let me become your beast-husband! I... I’m a 3-star beast soul now. Although I’m not as good as the Clan Leader’s other beast-husbands, please believe me. I will definitely become stronger and stronger."

Qiao Xixi was rather surprised. But before she could answer, her gaze met a pair of mournful, reproachful eyes.
