Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Trouble_1 Time flew swiftly, and the dangerous beasts in the Eneru Forest became even more numerous. The lack of food made them increasingly aggressive, and a countless number of beasts had already surrounded the vicinity of the Watson Tribe, periodically ramming against the city walls, hoping to break through the defense and feast on the tribe. Ge Ye, with her heavily pregnant belly, was gorging herself on food while sitting on Uncle Ge Xing’s heated brick bed, her massive appetite intimidating. Ji Nuan trembled with fear and said, "Little Ye Zi, your belly is already so huge, maybe you should eat a little less. If the cub is too big, it’s going to be hard for you to give birth to it!" Ge Ye pouted, reluctantly put down the food in her hand, even licking her fingers, "Ever since I’ve been pregnant with the cub, I’ve been feeling incredibly hungry all the time, always wanting to eat a lot of food." Grandma Shaman said that Little Ye Zi is due to give birth these days. It’s the first time in recent years that a new cub is to be born in the tribe, thus everyone is attaching great importance to it. Ji Nuan brushed her bloated belly, "Take my advice, eat moderately, don’t eat too much. Otherwise, the cubs will all be chubby like Brother Xiu Yan, and giving birth to them will be really painful." Just as Ji Nuan finished her sentence, the room suddenly fell silent. Sensing a chill down her spine, Ji Nuan couldn’t help but shrink her neck. She had an ominous premonition. "Like me! Huh? Chubby! Huh?" A cold voice echoed, each utterance escalating in pitch. Ji Nuan could almost hear the grinding teeth of the disgruntled orc. Ge Ye, showing no loyalty, gave Ji Nuan a ’good luck with that’ look, hugged her round belly, hopped off the bed, and made her nimble escape. Her agility belied the fact that she was a soon-to-be mother! "I was just making a comparison, hehe, Brother Xiu Yan, don’t take it to heart!" Ji Nuan immediately backed down, turned her head with a beaming smile that screamed flattery as she tried to appease Xiu Yan. "Huh~" Xiu Yan slightly raised his sharp brows, his deep wolf-like eyes stared at her, clearly unimpressed. "Why didn’t you use Xiu Qi cub as a reference?" You bully me because of my orcish chubby physique, right? Ji Nuan secretly thought: That’s because he isn’t as plump as you! Of course, such thoughts could only roll around in her belly for a while then be deeply hidden away. They shouldn’t be openly expressed. "Ji Nuan! Ji Nuan! Hurry, go check on Little Ye Zi, she was just pushed by that ugly Manli. She’s in pain now, there’s blood!" Red Ama’s anxious voice resounded outside the door. Ji Nuan’s heart clenched, abandoning her worries for Xiu Yan’s feelings and she immediately ran out. A cold flash flickered in Xiu Yan’s eyes, he lifted his long legs and followed behind. He picked up Ji Nuan and quickly ran towards the direction Red Ama had pointed. Even before they got close, a strong smell of blood carried by the cold wind invaded the noses of Ji Nuan and the other orcs. This made her complexion worsen. Outside the beast horde, a pale-faced Manli sat on the ground, incessantly mumbling, "I didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t do it on purpose!" Thinking about how Ge Ye had painfully collapsed onto the ground just now, she was trembling all over, it was horrifying. Fortunately, the place where Ge Ye fell was not far from Aunt Shaman’s house, and Song Yu had already carried Ge Ye inside. When Ji Nuan arrived, Aunt Shaman was wiping the blood off Ge Ye’s body. "Aunt Shaman! How is Little Ye Zi doing?" Ji Nuan asked anxiously. The Shaman patted her hand, "Don’t worry, everything’s fine. Little Ye Zi is likely going into labour. Start preparing!"
