Chapter 220 Arriving at the Beach
The two families chatted and laughed as they ate hotpot until late at night, and only put down their chopsticks when they were full.
Now the two pregnant women in the family no longer dared to do any entertainment activities as usual after dinner. Taking advantage of the moonlight, the males took care of their partners and walked around outside the wooden house for a few laps to digest the food, then went back to wash up and go to bed.
The warm season was coming to an end and the weather was getting hotter. They played while heading towards the southern continent, living a happy and satisfying life every day. After more than a month of journey, Long Ming said that it would take only five or six days at most to reach the beach.
The cubs were all very excited, but the two pregnant women couldn't stand the heat. It was already very hot as it was approaching the hot season, and they were both pregnant, so their appetites had not been very good these days.
Ruan Tang leaned on Chi Yuan's back and looked up at the sun. It was so hot that she didn't want to continue her journey.
She called out to Long Ming, who was leading the way, "A Ming, find a cool place to rest for a while. It's too hot."
"it is good."
Hearing her tired and listless voice, the males felt distressed. Her belly had been getting bigger and bigger recently, and her appetite was not good. She didn't want to eat anything. Mo Ran and Qi Xuan tried their best but couldn't get her to eat more. They were really anxious.
After finding a dry spot with dense trees, Long Ming lifted her off Chi Yuan's back. He gently rubbed her waist with his large palm and said with a distressed tone, "It's really hot in the southern continent. Ruan Ruan is not feeling well. Let's stop and rest today and continue our journey tomorrow, okay? You haven't been eating or sleeping well, and you've lost weight these days. It makes me sad to see you like that."
"Hmm." Ruan Tang looked listless. She had a really hard time carrying this baby. It was her fault for being too greedy. She carried babies of three races at once to save trouble. Ling Lingjiu said that she was going against the will of heaven.
She didn’t feel it before when the cubs were small, but as her belly grew bigger and bigger in the past few days, she began to experience the hardship of pregnancy firsthand.
She took out the wooden house and said, "I want to lie down for a while. You guys should build the wooden house quickly."
Bai Lang and Qi Xuan took over. Bai Lang said to Chi Yuan, "Okay, we'll take care of it. Chi Yuan, you go and keep Ruan Ruan company."
Chi Yuan feels cool, and Ruan Ruan likes it.
"Yeah." Chi Yuan held Ruan Tang and sat her on his lap, letting her head rest on his chest.
Seeing that he was not needed here, Mo Ran gathered his supernatural power to condense a circle of ice around Ruan Tang before saying to her, "This will keep Ruan Ruan cooler. Once they're done, Ruan Ruan can go back to the house and have a good rest. I'll go look for some fresh wild vegetables and fruits in the forest. You don't have a good appetite, so I'll make some sweet and sour food for you to try today."
"Okay." Ruan Tang nodded. Thinking of the sour and sweet food with some ice, she felt a little hungry. The sour and sweet food should taste good in this weather.
"We'll go with you to Afu/Mo Ran Afu."
"Mom, have a good rest. We'll go get you something delicious."
The little cubs knew that their mother had been unwell these days, so they had been much quieter. They had been well-behaved along the way and didn't make any noise. Now when they heard that Mo Ran was going to the forest to find food, they also wanted to go and see if they could find anything delicious.
"My dears, please be careful. This place is close to the southern continent. There are many wild beasts and exotic animals that we haven't seen yet. Try to stay together and don't run away." Although he was not in the mood, he still had to remind his children.
"Don't worry, mother. We won't run around."
"Aunt Ye, are you feeling unwell too?"
Oh, Yousang, my mother and Aunt Ye have been in low spirits these days, and it makes me feel sad to see them.
"It's okay, babies, go play and be careful." Lin Yeqing found out that she was pregnant with five cubs. Ruan Tang told her that there were one female and four males, from Ruiyi and Yuri. She was shocked for many days after knowing this. She could actually be pregnant with cubs of two races at the same time!
Having five cubs is good, but her belly is a little too big. It is her first pregnancy, and now the cubs are less than three months old, but her belly is unusually big. She feels sore in her waist and legs after walking a few steps. She is really tired and just wants to lie down every day, but Ruan Tang told her that she cannot lie down all the time when she is pregnant.
Alas, she can only say that she is in pain and happy.
……
Because there were two pregnant women, they traveled very little during those days. It took them ten days to reach the beach instead of five or six days.
However, it will take another day to reach the dragon clan's sea area. The dragon clan's tribe is in a very mysterious area. Without someone from the dragon clan to lead the way, no one outside can find the entrance.
At this time, on the vast beach, there were many females with their cubs basking in the sun.
Ruan Tang looked out from a distance. Mermaids, dragons, foxes, rabbits, wolves, and tigers—how could they be so complete? Wasn't it said that females on land weren't very interested in mates with sea beastmen?
Long Ming explained to her, "Most of these females are the mates of male mermaids. Mermen, both male and female, are very good-looking. These land-dwelling females like good-looking males who can provide them with plenty of food!"
"Oh." So that's how it is. There is no shortage of people who are obsessed with looks in every era. Good-looking people, whether men or women, will have certain advantages.
"They seem to be talking about you dragons." Ruan Tang had a very sensitive hearing and caught the key words instantly.
She made a gesture to silence them, and the cubs and males around her shut up and looked quietly towards the beach.
