Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Chapter 344 Too many evil thoughts

"Counting the days, today is a secluded day, isn't it?" Xixi fiddled with the little snake in her arms, keeping her head down and not daring to look at anyone.

“Uh…yes, but you just gave birth today, so it’s better if everyone takes care of you together. I’m sure Fourth Brother won’t mind, right?” Kunhai didn’t know what the Rejuvenation Pill was, nor did he understand Xixi’s subtext. He only knew that in ordinary families, the beastmen had to take good care of the wife during the first month after childbirth. After all, both the cubs and the wife were very weak at this time!

"You're all crowding around here, and I can't get any rest. Let's all disperse," Xixi said more clearly.

Unfortunately, Kunhai and Junsong were still puzzled and stood there dumbfounded, wondering why their wife was being asked to leave right after giving birth.

Yunxi's eyes flickered, and he subconsciously reached out to hug the snake cub, but Xixi pressed him down. "Leave the snake cub with me for now. After you've fed it, have Yinyou take it to the next room. You can go there and look after it!"

Yunxi exclaimed in astonishment, "You're actually going to breastfeed the snake cubs yourself?"

“Yes, they are all my babies, so of course I have to breastfeed them myself.” Xi Xi said it as if it were the most natural thing in the world, but little did she know how much shock her words brought to Yun Xi.

“I…I heard my godfather say that even in tribes, female snakes don’t nurse their young themselves. Instead, they seek out docile female magical beasts to express their milk and feed it to their offspring.” Yunxi said, glancing at Xixi’s expression. Seeing that Xixi’s expression was normal, he dared to continue, “After all, even newborn snakes have venom sacs in their mouths. If they bite their mother, they might be able to withstand it if it’s a snake of the same species, but if it’s a female from another race, they’ll probably die on the spot!”

Countless painful lessons eventually led to the tradition of prohibiting snakes from being fed by hand.

"Don't worry, my little snake cub recognizes its mother and definitely won't bite her, right?" Xixi stretched out her finger and gently tapped one of the snake cub's heads. Seeing the little snake cub's blissful expression, she suddenly found it very interesting. So she tapped each of the nine little heads one by one. The little snake cub was extremely excited, shaking its nine heads back and forth. Although the shaking was completely arrhythmic, it was unusually festive.

"Look, the little snake cubs love me very much!" Xixi said with a smile.

"Uh..." Yunxi thought to herself, "They laugh when teased; that's just their nature."

Especially since it's only just been born and hasn't even opened its eyes yet, its reaction should be pretty much the same no matter who's teasing it.

However, since Xixi was happy, he naturally didn't want to spoil her mood.

However, he still insisted on refusing to breastfeed, saying, "I went out a couple of days ago and caught three Shantou ewes and two spotted cows, which is enough for the snake cubs to drink! Besides, the nutritional value of these magical beast milks is not much different, so Xixi, you really don't need to risk breastfeeding yourself!"

"Oh! Don't worry! I told you nothing would happen, why are you making such a fuss?" With that, Xixi gave him a hard push, using her actions to shoo him away, "Go out now, I need to feed the snake cubs!"

"And what are all of you doing here? Hurry up and boil some water for me to take a bath! I'm filthy, all sticky and stinking!"

"Also, from this morning until now, apart from that one meat bun from someone else, I haven't eaten anything else. You guys are still standing here, don't you know to hurry up and get me some food!"

"And the snake cubs' little den, hurry up and set it up. Are they going to sleep on the floor? Who's going to be responsible if they freeze to death?"

It's true, if the tiger doesn't show its power, they'll think we're a sick cat!

They stay by your side, one or two at a time, and won't move unless you urge them. What's wrong with them?

So, urged on by Xixi with a hint of anger, the animal handlers finally divided up their tasks and got busy.

Yin You hurriedly helped his wife lie down, and then carefully held the snake cub and handed it to Xi Xi.

However, the moment the baby snake was touched, the little creature seemed very uncomfortable with being touched by others, baring its teeth and hissing.

Fortunately, Xixi intervened in time, saying, "This is your fourth father, and those people from earlier are all your fathers. From now on, if any of them dare to bare their teeth at them, I'll knock their heads off!"

Without hesitation, she poked the fanged snake's head. The little snake, quite sensible, immediately shut its mouth, revealed a sweet smile, and rubbed against Xixi's palm in a flattering manner.

"Heh! Little thing, you're just like your dad right after you were born, you're quite cunning!" Xixi teased, cradling the nine little heads in her arms.

After dealing with the little snake, Yin You began to worry that Xi Xi's back might ache from lying like that, so she carefully moved the bedding around to tuck more under Xi Xi's back.

However, no matter how I fill it in, it always seems unsatisfactory.

In the end, he simply lay down next to Xixi so that she could lean on him.

Xi Xi smiled slightly. This little white flower is so thoughtful. Thinking back to her last two pregnancies, although Fatty Orange and Yun Xi took good care of her, they focused mainly on her diet and didn't pay attention to these details.

Xixi was indeed sleepy, and she fell asleep while being fed.

After the baby snake had eaten and drunk its fill, it nestled in its mother's arms and drifted off to sleep.

Generally speaking, most orcs would let the two sleep like that if they saw such a heartwarming scene.

But Yin You remembered that Xi Xi had said before that after feeding the baby snake, she would hand it over to her third brother to take care of.

Moreover, with a cub in her arms, Xixi definitely wouldn't sleep comfortably!

Without hesitation, Yin You scooped up the baby snake.

The poor little snake was half asleep when it was suddenly grabbed by the tail. Startled, it tried to bite back, but then it smelled a familiar scent and remembered its mother's warning. It then closed its mouth again, looking pitiful and aggrieved, trying to awaken the non-existent fatherly love of its fourth father.

Unfortunately, Yin You was still just a simple child, with his wife's heart and eyes only for her. So, the little snake cub's pitiful appearance did not get him any benefit. Before long, it fell into another's arms.

Upon smelling the scent of their shared lineage, the little snake realized that this was its biological father and immediately clung to him affectionately.

Father, Father! Fourth Father is so fierce, I'm scared!

"Has Xixi named the little snake cub?" Yunxi suddenly remembered this crucial question. They had been pestering their wife earlier, yet they hadn't mentioned naming the snake cub at all.

Yin You, straightforward and honest, replied, "No."

"Uh... how about I give him a nickname first?" Yunxi asked tentatively, asking both Yinyou and the little snake cub.

However, asking Yin You was tantamount to asking in vain. He looked at the other party without any expression, showing neither the intention to relay his message nor the intention to make a decision for his wife.

The little snake cub, however, nodded excitedly.
