Animal World: The pregnant cat can't stand it anymore

Chapter 18 The Birth of a Mermaid Cub
"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, when he heard Yu mention that day underwater, Shen Luo let out a shocking cough.

Yu hurriedly patted her on the back and brought a glass of water to her mouth.

Shen Luo drank some water from his hand to suppress the itch in his throat.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Shen Luo suddenly felt his face getting hot. "We are eating, don't talk!"

Her tone became a little fiercer, but Yu noticed that her earlobes were slightly red, as if she wanted to expose her claws to scratch him, but was reluctant.

Yu chuckled and leaned close to Shen Luo's ear, his warm breath brushing against her ears.

"I just want to ask A Luo how he feels. If you don't do well, try to improve it next time."

Shen Luo vaguely remembered that day underwater, a certain mermaid was still very innocent, and she was the one who took the initiative at the beginning.

Why now...

Shen Luo blushed, but refused to give in.

She leaned back, and Yu was afraid that she would fall, so he hurried to support her. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Shen Luo hugged Yu's neck and the corner of his lips brushed his cheek.

"Not very satisfied, Ayu, practice hard~"

After saying that, Shen Luo burst into laughter, holding his stomach and laughing so hard that he fell down in Yu's arms.

Yu looked at her and smiled helplessly, "A Luo always teases me."

Yun An worked hard to open a compartment, intending to give it to Yu and Zizi to live in, but he didn't expect that he would move in first.

He was not happy at first, but only by keeping an eye on Shen Luo at all times could he know the condition of the baby and prevent the baby from being born prematurely.

I don’t know what Yu said to Yun’an when he pulled her aside. After Yun’an asked for a goodnight kiss, he went to the cubicle and slept with the animal skin in his arms.

Shen Luo was curious, "Ayu, what did you two talk about?"

The island god kept it secret and didn't tell her, just saying it was a "secret between males".

……

On the first day of the rainy season, Shen Luo was about to give birth.

It was drizzling outside the cave. Inside the cave, Yun An and the other man were hurriedly preparing the things Shen Luo would need for the birth.

When they were far away from the Maoyan tribe, Yun'an went back to the Quanyue tribe at night to ask experienced females in the tribe what to do during childbirth.

At this time, one of them boiled water while the other carried Shen Luo to the stone bed covered with soft animal skins.

While wiping the sweat off Shen Luo's face, Yu communicated with the baby in her belly, trying to get it to come out earlier and not to bother its mother.

His heart was good, but it was a bit of a hindrance. Shen Luo didn't feel any pain at all, he just felt like something was about to come out of his lower body.

Before the water boiled, Yun An heard Yu's surprised voice, "A Luo, the cub is out!"

Shen Luo had seen the cubs of many animals, but had never seen a legendary species like the mermaid.

She propped herself up and wanted to see what the mermaid baby she had given birth to looked like.

Yu was startled by her action and held her down to prevent her from getting up. "A Luo, don't move. Lie down quickly."

Yun'an learned from the tribe about female childbirth and cub-rearing knowledge and told Yu that females would feel a lot of pain after giving birth and had to lie down to rest after giving birth.

Shen Luo waved his hand, "I'm fine."

Seeing that she was only a little pale, Yu helped her sit up with confidence.

She turned pale because she was frightened by the panic movements of these two people. Painless childbirth is a good thing. She will give birth to many babies in the future. If it hurts every time... I dare not think about it!
Shen Luo shuddered, and Yu hurriedly covered her with animal skins, then picked up the cub and showed it to her.

"This is... the cub I gave birth to?!"

Shen Luo couldn't believe it.

She was just wondering why the baby didn't cry after it was born, but now she saw that it was born, but not completely. In Yu's arms was an egg the size of a watermelon, but it didn't look like an egg. The surface was light blue with a few black patterns.

Shen Luo touched it and found the "eggshell" was very soft.

Yun An stopped making fire, stared at the "egg" in Yu's arms in amazement, and asked the question that Shen Luo also wanted to know.

"So, it will take some time to incubate?"

"Of course not. Our mermaid cubs can get out of the water by themselves after they are born."

When Shen Luo had seen enough, Yu held the "egg" and asked Yun An to pour him a large basin of water.

Yun An scratched his head, "Do you want hot water, cold water, or warm water?"

Yu was stunned. He hesitated. He... seemed to not know...

Yun An looked at Shen Luo, and Shen Luo turned her face away. Don't ask her, she doesn't know either.

Yu thought for a moment and said, "Mermaids are all born in the Clear Water Lake, so cool water should be enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fertility system suddenly made a sharp sound in Shen Luo's mind:

【Warm water, warm water, warm water!!!】

[The temperature should be around 20℃, just put the mermaid baby in the water! 】

[You two unreliable parents, wait for me to come back and raise you myself!!!]

Sit back and wait for praise?

Shen Luo pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the system's words, but the system remained silent.

She had no choice but to ask Yun'an to prepare water of suitable temperature and let Yu put the "egg" into the water.

Under the gaze of the three people, the "eggshell" was slowly broken from the inside, and after a while, out came out... a little blue fish?

The little blue fish suddenly turned into a tiny baby, but unlike human babies, it had no legs and only a blue fish tail on its lower body.

He inherited this from his father, but his hair is black as it falls.

Next came the mechanical announcement:

[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to her first offspring, beast form: mermaid; gender: male; innate ability: water system; level: level 2. ]

[Rewards: 5,000 points; elixir refining technique; "Herb Encyclopedia"; a cub-raising space bag; reward: the host's talent level is upgraded to level 2. ]

Although Shen Luo had innate abilities, she had no level yet. Unexpectedly, she was promoted two levels directly after giving birth to a cub.

The orcs' innate abilities are divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and thunder. Only about half of the orcs in the Orc Continent possess these innate abilities.

The talent level increases from level one, and cubs that are born with a talent level tend to upgrade their levels more easily than other cubs.

The cub's parents could sense the cub's innate abilities and level. After sensing this, Yu said to Shen Luo in surprise:
"A Luo, our cub is level two!"

"I remember that I was at level one when I was born, and now I'm already at level seven in the water system. Our kid will definitely be even more powerful in the future!"

Yun An felt a little jealous. He was also level one when he was born, but now he is one level lower than Yu.

Now Yu's cub is still at such a high level, I wonder if his and Luo's cub will have a natural talent level from birth...

"Calm down, calm down," Shen Luo said calmly, "I forgot to tell you that the cubs born from super fertility will have innate abilities at birth, and the levels are random."

After listening to Shen Luo's words, Yun An was no longer jealous. It turned out that the baby's talent level was not due to Yu!
He was happy and went over to look at the newborn mermaid cub.

Shen Luo held the mermaid baby in his arms. The baby didn't cry but just looked at Shen Luo and smiled.

Shen Luo's reflection was in that pair of blue eyes. Shen Luo felt soft in his heart and he hugged him and kissed him again and again.

Yu and Yun'an looked at each other. Why did they feel that they should not be in the cave but should be outside in the rain?
