Then, as if awakened, it shrank rapidly and flew straight toward the spirit pearl—sticking tightly to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit pearl flickered in visible annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Move away. Don’t touch me. Go somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal pulsed stubbornly in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. I like it here. This spot is perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pearl tried to shake it off—but the crystal clung on with all its might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina lowered her head, watching the two glowing beads bicker like quarrelsome children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s enough. No fighting,\" she said with a sigh. \"Little Pearl, it’ll be your little brother from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit pearl flickered once in reluctant acceptance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal dimmed slightly, clearly dissatisfied—but didn’t dare argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didithave to be the little brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Nina couldn’t deny the strange sense of closeness she felt toward the crystal. Whatever it was, it felt... familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a golden mark appeared on the forehead of the small beast that had collided with her earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was shaped like a tiny deer—but subtly different from the marks Odian and the others bore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little creature immediately leapt into her arms, yipping excitedly. \"Master! Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina felt its affection and docility clearly—and didn’t push it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She studied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its fur burned a vivid flame-red, its eyes round and bright like copper bells. It looked part dog, part lion—an odd but undeniably adorable mix.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of creature is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she noticed the contract mark on its forehead—and realized she could sense its emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...She had bonded it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beast world, only spirit beasts could be contracted—and even then, it required special methods and was notoriously difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t done anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did this even happen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, she shrugged inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well... what’s done is done. I’ll just treat it as raising a pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little ones stared curiously at the small beast. Two babies even reached out with their tiny claws to poke it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature didn’t resist at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the master’s babies, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina gently stroked the small beast clinging to her arm. \"Alright, little guy—you’ll be called Roro from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a little ball of fire. So cute!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roro nodded happily and flashed her a grin. Then, opening its mouth, it spat out a flame-colored crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crystal dropped and landed squarely on the egg baby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nina could react, it sank straight into the eggshell and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in alarm. \"Roro! What did you just feed my baby?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared in disbelief. How had it gonethroughthe shell?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roro looked up at her, aggrieved.That’s a Flame Crystal. It’s full of energy. I was giving it to you—your egg ate it on its own!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Setan arrived—just in time to witness the Flame Crystal being swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret flashed across his face. He had only been a step too late... and the crystal had been consumed by an egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he saw Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief instant, his eyes filled with astonishment at her beauty—followed quickly by shock at the cluster of babies in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he composed himself almost immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little female,\" he said firmly, \"return the Scarlet Flame Beast to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their clan had searched for hundreds of years to find this spirit beast. Capturing it had cost them immense time and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roro clung tighter to Nina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master, save me! These bad people want to catch me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina lifted her gaze—and saw a strikingly handsome male before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had golden hair, sharp brows, and bright, star-like eyes. His nose was straight, his lips thin and pale. His posture was upright and powerful, his presence imposing—radiating authority and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood several other males, all with the same golden hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it your spirit beast?\" Nina asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were in the process of capturing it,\" Setan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it’s not yours,\" she said evenly. \"So there’s no such thing as ’returning’ it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But we lured it out from volcanic magma after great effort,\" Setan insisted. \"That makes it ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t return it,\" Nina said. \"It has already acknowledged me as its master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many of them. Nina had no desire to provoke a conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\" Setan frowned, stepping closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He examined Roro carefully—and sure enough, there was an additional contract mark on its forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shock filled his face. \"How did you contract it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he would have needed the aid of a shaman—and the beast’s own approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This female had clearly just met the Scarlet Flame Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So how had it willingly bonded to her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And how had she done itso easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... don’t know,\" Nina said innocently. \"It just ran into me—and then we were bonded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan found her explanation hard to believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet... from what he had seen from a distance, it did seem to have happened exactly like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the beast had already acknowledged a master—and the female hadn’t deliberately stolen it—he couldn’t justify making things difficult for a seemingly fragile female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would just have to swallow this loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then have your egg spit out the Flame Crystal,\" Setan said, reluctantly compromising. \"We won’t pursue the matter of the Scarlet Flame Beast—but the Flame Crystal must be returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked down at the egg in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baby... can you spit it back out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The egg wobbled slightly, then shook from side to side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nope! Can’t do it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina cleared her throat awkwardly. \"My baby... can’t spit it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, she wasn’t particularly eager to give it back—but being alone with so many children, she had no desire to stir up unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind Setan, the golden-haired males began to grumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, what do we do now? Did we come all this way for nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly—we’ve wasted so much time and resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan frowned deeply as he stared at the egg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just his luck. Not only had the spirit beast been snatched away first—the Flame Crystal had also been swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that crystal was incredibly rare. It was immensely beneficial to their fire abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask the Scarlet Flame Beast if it has any more,\" he said at last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina glanced at Roro. \"Do you have another one of those Flame Crystals?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roro shook its little head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more back in its nest, but there was no way it was giving anything to this group of bad people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina looked back at Setan. \"It says there aren’t any more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan felt a surge of frustration. His gaze swept the surroundings, then returned to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re alone?\" he asked, clearly puzzled. \"A single female, out here—and with so many children?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This does not concern you,\" Nina replied coolly, with no intention of explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setan fell silent for a moment, weighing his options. Then he made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I’ll stay with you for now,\" he said. \"When your egg hatches, I’ll take back the Flame Crystal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he couldn’t come all this way and leave empty-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain the crystal was still inside the shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flicked over Nina and the children. \"And in the meantime, I’ll protect you. The wilderness is dangerous—especially for a lone female with offspring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nina curled her lips slightly but didn’t argue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were going to follow her anyway—whether she agreed or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is your tribe?\" Setan asked. \"We can escort you back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Nina could answer, the locator at her side suddenly vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately accepted the connection.\u003C\u002Fp>",1259,"2026-06-03T08:29:56.682Z","2026-06-03T08:30:03.515Z",1,"novelbin.me","3341872b3c7f07f41a28aeeb08bd31964f2e538897214bb631911552de305eb6","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-184","after-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-chapter-182",299,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-giving-birth-all-my-beast-ex-husbands-sudd-cover.jpg"]
