Chapter 173: Wu Na Gives Birth

"Fan Fan, how did you get up without calling me? How long have you been here?" Ba Ke Er stroked Zhang Fan's head, speaking softly.

Zhang Fan was brought back to reality by Ba Ke Er's words, he lifted his head and stared blankly at Ba Ke Er, asking: "Ba Ke Er, what were you just saying? I didn't hear clearly, say it again."

Ba Ke Er felt that since discovering the pregnancy, Zhang Fan's reaction speed had greatly decreased. This situation often occurred, each time he just stared blankly at him.

Each time made Ba Ke Er feel helpless, yet he couldn't show his emotions, fearing Zhang Fan would notice and become nervous.

"It's fine, it's not important, not hearing it is also fine. Come on, follow me inside, let's first go see the egg baby."

Saying that, Ba Ke Er already helped Zhang Fan up and walked toward the room.

For the whole afternoon that followed, Zhang Fan and Ba Ke Er stayed in the room, Ba Ke Er responsible for incubating the egg, while Zhang Fan was responsible for lying in bed watching Ba Ke Er incubate the egg.

When it was time to eat dinner in the evening, Ba Ke Er also carried the Dragon Egg to cook the rice.

Days passed like this, Ba Ke Er and Zhang Fan the couple never went out, always staying at home.

Until one morning, the originally quiet Tribe was suddenly pierced by a lion's roar, shattering the morning's tranquility. Zhang Fan was also awakened by that lion's call.

Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Fan asked Ba Ke Er in a daze: "Ba Ke Er, what's happening outside? Who's so bored to disturb people's sleep at dawn!"

Ba Ke Er tucked the blanket corner for Zhang Fan, speaking softly: "It's fine, Fan Fan, go back to sleep! This is Ji Lie's voice; probably Wu Na is about to give birth! He's calling Uncle Wei Er over to help!"

As soon as Ba Ke Er said that, Zhang Fan instantly lost sleepiness, sat up abruptly from the blanket, eyes wide open, face full of surprise, asking: "What? Wu Na is about to give birth? Goodness! Such a big event, how could I not participate?"

Saying that, Zhang Fan got up from bed, took clothes from the bedside table, and began putting them on piece by piece; his swift movements made Ba Ke Er click his tongue in amazement.

You should know, since Zhang Fan first learned of his pregnancy, everything he did had been slow, completely lacking his former speed. Ba Ke Er had thought it normal, after all, according to Dier, some females indeed experience sluggish movement after pregnancy.

But now! Ba Ke Er clearly saw that his Zhang Fan had wrapped himself into a ball within three minutes; not only that, after putting on his own clothes, he fetched Ba Ke Er's clothes, poised to wrap Ba Ke Er into a ball as well.

Seeing this made Ba Ke Er break into a cold sweat, he forced a laugh and took the clothes from Zhang Fan's hands, stammering: "Fan Fan… this… I'll put them on myself! You… you first put on your shoes, we'll head over in a moment."

After saying that, Ba Ke Er sprang up from the bed with lightning speed, dressed himself in clothes and shoes, waited for Zhang Fan to put on his socks and shoes, then together they went to the courtyard and shifted into beast form.

Once Zhang Fan sat securely on Ba Ke Er's back, Ba Ke Er spread his wings and flew toward Ji Lie's home.

Along the way, they also encountered many tribespeople coming to watch the excitement. Of course, Fei Er and Nuoya were definitely among them.

Thus, the three couples met and simply decided to travel together. When Zhang Fan first saw Fei Er similarly bundled up, he already broke into a smile.

"Fei Er, you're so fat, why are you still afraid of the cold? Why are you dressed so thickly? Look at Nuoya, she isn't wearing nearly as much. Do you know? You look really funny right now! Hahaha……"

As soon as Zhang Fan said that, even Nuoya laughed out loud; Fei Er, clearly displeased, flicked his face and said to Zhang Fan:

"Hmph! Still talking about me? Aren't you also bundled up like a ball?"

Nuoya felt his belly about to hurt from laughing at Fei Er's antics; suppressing laughter, he said to Fei Er: "Fei Er, Fan Fan is a pregnant male, being afraid of the cold is normal; why are you also so afraid of the cold?"

Upon hearing Nuoya, Zhang Fan nodded and said seriously: "Exactly, Fei Er, I am a pregnant male! How can you compare to me? Unless… you're also pregnant?"

Saying that, Zhang Fan also made a gesture of sudden enlightenment. Seeing Zhang Fan speak so seriously, Nuoya actually believed he was telling the truth.

With an excited expression looking at Fei Er, Nuoya exclaimed: "Great! Fei Er, so you're actually pregnant too! That's wonderful! Our Tribe now has another pregnant male! How nice!"

Fei Er's face was nearly green with anger; his eyes darted between Zhang Fan and Nuoya, finally settling on Zhang Fan, he said angrily: "Fan Fan! I'm not pregnant! Humph! I'm just a bit more cold-sensitive! Do you two really have to team up to bully me like this?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fan laughed even harder: "Hahaha…… Fei Er, you're truly amusing! How is this bullying you? We're just hoping you'll soon have good news to share!"

Nuoya also chimed in from the side to help Zhang Fan, starting to tease Fei Er.

"Exactly! Exactly! Fei Er, Wu Na has only been paired for a short time and is about to give birth today; look at Fan Fan, also paired this year, he'll likely give birth soon too. So you should hurry up and give birth as well! That way, next year we four can collectively stroll the little ones—how great would that be!"

"Originally it was just me going out to walk the kids; now it's fine, Wu Na has given birth, Fan Fan is almost due, so Fei Er, you really need to get moving!"

After saying that, Nuoya deliberately gave Fei Er a weird smile, which Fei Er instantly understood! Isn't that clearly a "you know what" expression?

Fei Er now felt more than once that choosing to go out today to watch the excitement was a mistaken decision! He was practically courting death! My goodness! Originally, pregnant females and those who have given birth could actually be this terrifying!

He hadn't realized this before, truly unfortunate! Having met this bunch of troublemakers, Fei Er now silently sheds tears in his heart, mourning his lost past.

All along the way, Fei Er endured Zhang Fan and Nuoya's barrage; thus, upon seeing Wu Na's home, he became excited, naively believing he could finally escape Zhang Fan and Nuoya.

However, his excitement didn't last long before it faded. Just because after landing, Mo De affectionately took his hand and said:

"Dear, I think Fan Fan and Nuoya are right! We should also put in more effort! Look, since you joined the Female Guard Team, my status at home has kept dropping, now you even make me sleep on the floor—where would that child come from? You agree, right?"

Fei Er gave Mo De a glance, then quietly said: "Whatever you say is fine."

Upon hearing Fei Er's words, Mo De nearly burst with joy, his face animated as he approached Zhang Fan and Nuoya earnestly: "Thank you! Thank you!"

After saying that, Mo De walked back to Fei Er's side, gazing at him with a foolish look. Only Zhang Fan and Nuoya remained, faces blank.

Upon arriving at Wu Na's home gate, they only then realized his courtyard had already been packed with people coming to watch the excitement. Zhang Fan's group struggled to squeeze in.

They then heard a sudden shriek from inside the house, followed by a little lion's roar, then a second, then a third.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhang Fan immediately imagined the scene inside the room. Instantly his face turned pale, he couldn't help but envision what his own birthing day would be like.

Thus, while everyone else was beaming with joy over the Tribe's new addition, Zhang Fan spaced out due to worry about himself.

When Ba Ke Er saw Zhang Fan's ashen complexion, his heart nearly leapt out; he furrowed his brows tightly, looking worried as he asked Zhang Fan:

"Fan Fan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Come, let's have Uncle take a look; we mustn't let anything happen."

Saying that, Ba Ke Er already reached out to push aside the people beside Zhang Fan, scooped him up in one arm, then rushed straight to the main hall, shouting all the while:

"People ahead, please make way, Uncle, Uncle Wei Er! Come quickly to see Fan Fan! He's a bit off."

Fei Er and Nuoya, seeing this, also hurriedly followed, beginning to clear the path ahead for Ba Ke Er.

After Zhang Fan recovered a bit, he instantly felt it was overblown—this fuss was too much! He was just a little pale, was it really necessary?

"Stop stop stop! Quickly put me down! Ba Ke Er, I'm fine, just a little startled, it's fine, quickly put me down! This looks so embarrassing!"

Saying that, Zhang Fan began to struggle.

This terrified Ba Ke Er, afraid Zhang Fan might slip and fall from his grip, so he hurriedly set him down.

At that moment, Zhang Fan's complexion improved a little. Upon hearing the outside commotion, Wei Er hastily set aside his tasks and rushed out.

As soon as he emerged, he saw Zhang Fan standing firmly on the ground, pointing at Ba Ke Er and lecturing him. Conversely, Ba Ke Er lowered his head, carefully observing Zhang Fan's complexion.

Seeing this, Wei Er couldn't hold back and suddenly laughed. Walking forward, he smiled and said to a few youngsters: "Fan Fan, Nuoya, Fei Er, don't you want to go in and see Wu Na? You can go in now. Hurry up and go in! It's a good chance to keep him company."

Upon hearing that, Fei Er was about to retreat backward, but Zhang Fan grabbed him.

"Come on, Fei Er, let's go see Wu Na and the little treasure!"

After saying that, Zhang Fan and Nuoya had already stepped forward, dragging Fei Er along as they walked into Wu Na's bedroom.

As soon as they entered, they could smell a strong odor of blood; fortunately, Zhang Fan had already passed the period when he was most sensitive to smells, so now smelling this odor caused him no stress at all.

After the three entered the room, only Zhang Fan rushed straight to Wu Na, while Fei Er and Nuoya hurried straight to the baby's bed in the room.

Zhang Fan walked up beside Wu Na and then softly asked, "Wu Na, does giving birth hurt? I just heard you screaming so terribly outside, I was almost scared to death. I almost wanted to punch Ba Ke Er, the culprit, with my fists."

Upon hearing that, Wu Na was amused to no end, and she burst out laughing with a "puchi" sound.

"Fan Fan, it's actually not that painful; you just need to make sure the wound on your lower body doesn't tear open. Really, you'll know if you try it yourself."

After saying that, Wu Na refused to say more; this vague remark made Zhang Fan almost become neurotic.

Later, Zhang Fan found it boring, so he simply joined Fei Er and the others to look at the little baby. When Zhang Fan approached and took a look, he saw three hairless baby male lions asleep in the blankets; their soft and cute appearance instantly captured his heart.
