Chapter 133 Birth
Females seeking offspring came in droves, but Chu Xinyao still followed her own steps methodically.
She only receives five females from other tribes each month. Unlike the ones she had with the White Tiger tribe, she didn't just offer them herbal tea laced with fertility pills; instead, she began her experiments, attempting to find a more efficient and safer method of conceiving.
Although the Fertility Pill only consumes 20 points, the demand for offspring is extremely high across the entire Beast God Continent. Her points won't last long if she uses them to exchange for offspring.
Chu Xinyao knew that if she wanted to help the females on the mainland in the long term, she had to find an efficient and safe method.
Each month, she selects five from among the many requesters. Of course, this is not free; she charges each female who requests a child a fee, along with food, medicine, and other necessities from their tribe.
These supplies were also the source of resources she needed for her experiments.
The five females and their animal husbands lived in the Moi tribe, in a courtyard that she had specially prepared, where all their food was prepared by her.
In another courtyard, there was a merman couple arranged by Yu Zi.
The food in both courtyards was the same, and Chu Xinyao sent people specifically to treat the bodies of these ten beastman couples.
Chu Xinyao knew that diet was the foundation of health, so she carefully selected nutritious foods to ensure that the beastman couple could get enough energy and necessary nutrition.
However, in addition to their meals, the merman couple also received a medicinal soup carefully prepared by Chu Xinyao every night.
This is a fertility soup recipe she found from the reward book "Complete Collection of Herbal Remedies". It contains Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Lycopus lucidus, Lycium barbarum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Rosa laevigata, Vaccaria segetalis, Cyperus rotundus, Carthamus tinctorius, etc. These medicinal materials are not common on the Beast God Continent, and Chu Xinyao spent a lot of effort to collect them all.
She consulted with shamans and priests from several tribes for a long time and confirmed that it was harmless before giving it to the mermaid couple.
Chu Xinyao hoped that these medicinal herbs could stimulate the fertility of the beastmen.
Twenty days later, the five females each drank the flower tea containing fertility pills, and within just ten days, they all began to give birth.
A month passed, but neither of the merman couple got pregnant. Although Chu Xinyao was helpless, she still made them take a fertility pill.
The pregnant couples left happily, and the Shark Shadow also informed the other waiting beastmen, but still no couples left, as no one was willing to give up the opportunity to have a cub.
Chu Xinyao had already taken the fertility-promoting pills, and today was the day the High Priest was preparing for her to give birth to the fish-dragon baby.
Her belly was already quite large, the size of a normal pregnant woman giving birth. But Chu Xinyao was still very uneasy, feeling that this was not good for the children.
[Sister Ting, is this really okay?]
[Yes, theoretically speaking, it's possible.]
[Don't be so logical; these are four children.]
[Okay, didn't we talk about this before? We give the pups growth-promoting pills to help them develop steadily. Once they're six months old, we can give them labor-inducing pills to help them give birth. While their labor-inducing effect might not be as strong as the pills, it's still labor-inducing, right?]
[Can......]
[Hey, don't say "ke ke," I... hiss...]
?
[Sister Ting?]
After waiting for a while without receiving a reply from Long Tingting, Chu Xinyao asked anxiously.
[Sister Ting, what's wrong?]
......
[How strange, why do I suddenly feel a little palpitated?] Long Tingting finally spoke as Chu Xinyao grew anxious.
[Where does it hurt, Sister Ting? You have a body, how can you have heart palpitations?]
[Yes...yes, it's just...a little strange.]
Long Tingting's voice was intermittent, as if the signal was being interfered with, and it sounded somewhat unstable.
Chu Xinyao was filled with questions, but because someone had arrived, she could only suppress them for the time being.
"Your Majesty, please drink this medicinal soup!" The High Priest brought over a bowl of medicine, which she and the witch doctor she had invited with Fish Roe had repeatedly adjusted to make the most reliable and effective potion.
The high priest's eyes revealed a hint of anticipation; she hoped that this medicinal soup would help Chu Xinyao give birth smoothly.
Looking at the bowl of dark, black medicinal soup, Chu Xinyao couldn't help but hesitate.
Although these medicinal soups were said to be harmless, they were still medicine, and she worried about unpredictable side effects. However, the High Priest's tone was full of confidence, and her eyes were firm, as if telling Chu Xinyao that this was her only choice.
Seeing Chu Xinyao hesitate, the high priest explained softly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. This medicinal soup is the result of countless experiments by myself and many other shamans. It is harmless to the body; it only helps to shrink your abdomen and promotes labor. You don't need to worry too much. This is something we have carefully prepared for you, all for your safety."
She knew the high priest wouldn't harm her, and that the fertility-inducing medicine was developed by the Ink Serpent tribe after thousands of years of research, specifically for humans like her.
Looking at her alarmingly large belly, Chu Xinyao took a deep breath. She had no choice but to trust them. Slowly, she reached out and took the bowl of medicine, silently hoping that everything would go smoothly.
The medicine was at a comfortable temperature. Chu Xinyao took a small sip first; it tasted somewhat bitter, but not difficult to swallow. She closed her eyes and then slowly drank the medicine in one gulp. As the last drop slid down her throat, she felt a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
The high priest and numerous witch doctors stood aside, watching Chu Xinyao's every subtle reaction with concern, ready to deal with any situation that might arise.
As the medicinal soup gradually took effect, Chu Xinyao felt a slight contraction in her abdomen. She knew this was a sign that the soup was working, indicating that labor was about to begin.
Upon seeing this, the high priest immediately began to direct the process methodically, arranging for people to prepare all the necessary items for the delivery, from clean cloths to hot water, from scissors to herbs, everything was prepared in an orderly manner.
Meanwhile, he had Shemo, Huxiao, Heyu, and Yuzijing stand guard outside the door, and had several maids close to Chu Xinyao who had experience in childbirth come in to wait.
Time passed by in a tense yet expectant atmosphere, and Chu Xinyao's contractions grew stronger and stronger.
The high priest and the shaman were busy but focused, preparing to welcome the new life. The high priest took out the life-extending elixir from her bosom and placed it beside Chu Xinyao's pillow, just in case. Her main purpose was to save Chu Xinyao's life.
Chu Xinyao's relatively painless condition made everyone a little uneasy, but the smooth progress of the labor filled everyone with hope.
As time went on, Chu Xinyao's contractions became more and more regular and stronger.
