After the scumbag female returns, the beautiful, strong, and tragic father and son become extremely

Chapter 20 He Couldn't Be Him
"You want to teach me?"

The firelight reflected in his eyes, making them frighteningly bright.

Nan Zhisui realized that this male might like her.

She is a tasker forcibly bound to a birthing system. Her task is to have offspring in the beast world. Under these circumstances, it is best not to show mercy and just choose a few males to complete the birthing task.

But unfortunately, Nan Zhisui is a woman with a soft heart.

The snow-white fox in front of her deliberately approached her. She understood everything, but she still lowered her guard and taught him how to use fire little by little.

She lit a small fire nearby, which startled the male, who jumped up.

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, at this time, I can stomp on it with my feet and swat it with a branch to put it out, just like this..."

When Nan Zhisui was performing, the male fox was terrified, shouting, "No, it's too dangerous!"

Nan Zhisui quickly extinguished the fire, then couldn't help but smile at him.

The male fox was genuinely frightened and couldn't help but pounce on her and hug her.

That day was springtime in the Beast World, similar to the current season, but before the rainy season.

A gust of wind blew by, and the flowering trees swayed, their petals fluttering down.

The male fox offered him a kiss.

He is courting.

He was pursuing her.

He wanted to marry her.

His purpose was too obvious, but Nan Zhisui, who was on a mission, did not refuse.

She took his hand and patiently taught him.

“Didn’t I teach you how to use a tree trunk to carve a bucket to fetch water?” Nan Zhisui said.

The male fox looked at her with a smile and nodded.

Nan Zhisui reignited the fire and then poured a bucket of water directly over it. The flames went out.

“This isn’t the only way to put out a fire. We can also bury it with sand, like this.”

Nan Zhisui lit another fire, then smothered it with sand.

The male fox looked at her with eyes full of admiration. "Nan Zhisui, you are really amazing."

"You must be careful when using fire, because starting a forest fire would be a crime. Now, I'll teach you how to start a fire and how to control it..."

Nan Zhisui taught him how to make fire by drilling wood, and also gave him two flints and steel, teaching him how to light a fire with them.

Then he was taught to surround the fire with stones to prevent it from spreading.

The nameless male fox learned everything she taught him.

In the mountains at night, he and she became lovers in a cave. Everything happened naturally and spontaneously.

Inside the cave, as she accepted him, he whispered in a deep, husky voice, "My lady, give me some more time, and I will soon be able to show you my face and tell you my name."

To make it easier for her to complete the task of having a child, the system gave her a childbirth pill.

However, Nan Zhisui accidentally lost the fertility pill. Therefore, she gave birth to the fox cub two months after becoming pregnant.

Perhaps because she was human, she was not as prolific as orcs; she only gave birth to one child in this pregnancy.

She did indeed spend more than two months with that snow-white male fox.

Later, when the childbirth system released a new task, urging her to do the new task with a life countdown, she sent the male fox back to his village overnight and gave the village chief a lot of supplies, asking her to take care of him and his son.

As Nan Zhisui looked down at Hu Bai, the handsome male fox looked up, and their eyes met.

Nan Zhisui quickly looked away and closed her eyes.

It couldn't be him.

Her fox-spirit husband was an important priestly apprentice in the tribe. A priest in any tribe would hold a very high position; it's impossible for him to have fallen to this state. And while his physique wasn't particularly strong, it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Besides, although she had never seen his face, he recognized her. If he really was her beastly husband, why wouldn't he acknowledge her?

……

The next day, Nan Zhisui took Hu Bai's temperature as usual, and the temperature had successfully dropped and the fever had subsided.

But the IV drip still had to be kept running, so Nan Zhisui continued to put the IV drip on Hu Bai and stayed by his side.

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Hu Bai leaned against the bedside, glancing at her seemingly casually.

Nan Zhisui yawned, "I was thinking about some things and suddenly I couldn't fall asleep."

"Do you want to catch up on some sleep?" Fox White asked. Nan Zhisui detected a hint of concern in his tone.

She shook her head: "No, I'll be leaving after your IV drip is finished. How are you feeling now? Are you still coughing?"

“It’s much better than before.”

Fox White lowered his eyes slightly and asked again, "Are you coming back tonight?"

"Huh?" Nan Zhisui looked up and glanced at Hu Bai a few more times. Although his tone was cold, he did give her a familiar feeling.

Nan Zhisui hesitated for a long time before saying, "If you are still willing to let me stay overnight, I will try my best to come back."

"Okay, sure." Fox White's tone was calm, but his face no longer showed the anger that had been threatening to erupt just a few days ago.

After Hu Bai finished receiving the IV drip, Nan Zhisui removed the syringe, placed the other medications aside, and turned to go to the cave.

After Nan Zhisui left the cave, Hu Bai leaned against the doorway, his long, snow-white hair hanging down and his white eyelashes fluttering gently.

He just watched her back until she was no longer visible.

……

Inside the wolf den, the mother wolf's cesarean section wound was healing well. Nan Zhisui disinfected her wound again and gave her an anti-inflammatory pill.

Then she checked on its six pups again.

The eldest, second, third, fourth, and fifth children are all as healthy as usual.

The sixth baby still couldn't get any milk, and it was still a size smaller.

Nan Zhisui continued to nurse the cub. After nursing it, Nan Zhisui wanted to return the cub to its mother wolf.

But then something unexpected happened: the mother wolf kicked her hind legs and refused to nurse her sixth cub.

Nan Zhisui was somewhat shocked, and her heart clenched. "You're refusing to keep it? It's your child."

Nan Zhisui looked at the wolf king, who turned his back and flicked his tail.

"Awoo!" The mother wolf tried to explain something to Nan Zhisui, and even though Nan Zhisui couldn't understand it, she could roughly guess what it meant.

With limited resources, the mother wolf must prioritize the strongest cubs. This little cub is struggling to survive, and she must abandon it.

"Are you really going to give it up?" Nan Zhisui asked.

The little snake poked its head out, hissed twice, and then pulled its head back in.

He was also a cub abandoned by his father and mother, so he could easily feel sympathy for the little wolf beast in front of him.

But he wasn't an adult; he couldn't even support himself, let alone a wolf.

Nan Zhisui looked down at the little wolf cub she had painstakingly rescued.

It should have died shortly after birth. She pulled it back from the brink of death.

It should have died from insufficient milk. It was she who kept it alive by supplementing its milk supply time and time again.

Now, just watch this little life, struggling to live, die.

She couldn't bear it.
