Chapter 174: Chapter 173, Little Cub_1
Ji Nuan tiptoed to take a look inside. She saw that Ge Ye was leaning against Song Yu. Although Ge Ye was still whimpering occasionally, it looked like everything was alright. She finally exhaled in relief.
"Grandma Shaman, I’ll go prepare some hot water and food!" Ji Nuan admitted she was somewhat at a loss, having never seen a female orc give birth in Beast World before.
"Brother Xiu Yan, could you please catch a couple of Giggle Beasts from the pen behind the house for me?" Ji Nuan planned to cook Go Ye some Giggle Beast soup. Back in China, chicken soup was known as a strong and nourishing dish.
Do you need me to butcher them, too?" Xiu Yan eagerly offered.
Ji Nuan nodded: "That would be perfect."
She placed Grandma Shaman’s porcelain pot on the stove, added hot water, and saved some for Little Ye Zi later.
Xiu Yan moved quickly, and before long, he returned with two clean Giggle Beasts. Ji Nuan directed him to use a stone knife to cut the Giggle Beasts into evenly sized pieces.
She put another pot on the stove, filled it with cold water, blanched the meat cubes, then rinsed them to clean off any blood residue.
She then used fresh water to put the chicken pieces in, added less firewood and left the soup to simmer slowly.
"Ji Nuan, you should add some sweet fruit. When female orcs give birth, they usually come here to take this," Ji Nuan received an orange fruit the size of a fist from Grandma Shaman. She didn’t recognize the species, but she cut it into pieces with the stone knife and threw them into the pot to cook with the meat.
She popped the remaining small piece into her mouth to taste it.
The taste was soft and sweet, reminding her of dried dates she used to enjoy in China.
"Ah, it hurts!" Ge Ye’s scream snapped Ji Nuan out of her thoughts.
Hearing the scream, she rushed into the house where she saw Song Yu crying and holding Ge Ye’s chubby paw, looking worried and anxious.
On the other hand, Grandma Shaman was sitting by the edge of the kang bed, calmly sorting out her herbs, causing Ji Nuan to wonder, "Grandma Shaman, Little Ye Zi’s gonna be okay, right?"
Grandma Shaman glanced at Ji Nuan and smiled, saying: "She’ll be fine. She’s birthing a small orc. Baby orcs are small when they’re born, it will be over soon!"
Ji Nuan pointed at Ge Ye’s belly: "How many cubs is Little Ye Zi carrying?
Aunt Shaman smirked and replied: "How many could there be? Definitely one!"
Ji Nuan was astounded: "Little Ye Zi’s belly is so big for just one cub?"
"The little tiger cub is going to be very tiny. It’s just that she’s eaten too much. Touch her stomach, it’s all just fat!" Aunt Shaman replied, with a lack of patience apparent in her tone.
Ji Nuan broke out in a cold sweat!
To gain such weight from just one cub, as if she were carrying triplets, Little Ye Zi was truly unparalleled. Impressive!
"Ah! It hurts!" Ge Ye’s agonized scream echoed in the room, causing a chill to crawl up Ji Nuan’s spine. Was it really that painful? But Grandma Shaman said it wasn’t!
"Whimper~whimper~" a little orc’s whimper was heard, and with that Ge Ye’s screams also came to a halt. Ji Nuan looked at the scene, clicked her tongue in admiration -
This little one is really chubby, so very nourished!
It seems that she was right: the cub would definitely be chubbier in its beast form compared to Brother Xiu Yan, just a tiny ball of meat!
"Oh, it’s a little male! I wanted a female..." Ge Ye grumbled, lying on the bed and whining.
