"..." Xi strained his eyes wide, trying to catch a glimpse of his Ah Jin’s beauty in the three small, eye-shut bundles. But, sorry, he really couldn’t see it.

"HISS~" After the delivery, the struggling in his coils subsided. Hearing the female’s uneven, faint breaths, Mi Yin knew that Jin’er, exhausted, had fallen into a deep sleep once more.

It had been a close call, but mother and children were safe.

The python slowly uncoiled its massive body. Ling Hong immediately took the female into his arms, picked up the hot water and towel he’d prepared beforehand, and began to carefully wash her.

’Jin’er always likes to be clean. When she wakes up tomorrow, she definitely won’t want to see herself in this state.’

"HISS~" The python stretched its neck, peering at the bundle in Xi’s arms to scrutinize the appearance of the three little ones.

His expression contorted.

’Although he couldn’t tell their species just yet, they were definitely not snake eggs, nor were they baby snakes!’

’And they couldn’t possibly be fish.’

Ling Hong had just finished washing the female in his arms and was about to take the basin for fresh water when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A black and red snake tail came whipping violently toward him. Fortunately, his reflexes were quick enough for him to dodge the blow.

"Have you lost your mind?"

Ling Hong roared, his fists clenched tight.

A large patch of the floor was soaked. With a series of CLANGS, the water basin tumbled messily onto the ground.

He saw the python, its scales bristling with rage, flicking its scarlet forked tongue. It stared at him menacingly, looking as if it had half a mind to swallow him alive.

Ling Hong immediately understood why the python was so furious. His eyes lit up. He strode forward and took the bundle from Xi’s arms. "Are these... mine?"

His voice, usually so steady and cold, held a tremor of disbelief.

’As a male, he naturally held a faint hope, but his personality was the type to never fight or contend for anything. He always felt that anything gained through struggle wasn’t truly his. As such, he’d maintained a zen-like attitude about having children.’

’Regardless of whether they were his offspring, as long as *she* gave birth to them, he would do everything in his power to care for every child she had risked her life to bear.’

Ling Hong gently held the three swaddled newborns. Afraid they might get smothered, he reached out to adjust the rumpled padding, his movements clumsy yet gentle.

He looked down. The three newborns looked mostly the same, yet with subtle differences. All of them were utterly adorable.

The man’s stern, cold features softened considerably.

Catching the python’s dangerous glare from a short distance away, Ling Hong’s expression hardened. His voice turned to ice. "If you want a fight, fine. I’ll give you one. But these are the children Jin’er went through hell to give birth to. If you dare lay a finger on them, I’ll fight you to the death!"

’He suddenly recalled that the reason these vicious Snake Beasts were exiled as Wanderers was because their intense jealousy gave them a pathological instinct to devour their mate’s offspring by other males.’

Even though Mi Yin had been tamed for years, his primal instincts were still difficult to suppress. Ling Hong’s face was a cold mask as he let out a low, warning growl.

"..." Mi Yin said nothing, continuing to stare coldly with his blade-like, blood-red eyes at Ling Hong and the children in his arms. His scarlet tongue flicked out, carrying a dangerous, icy aura. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

’It was true. He couldn’t deny it. In that split second, he’d had the same frenzied, wicked urge as his brother: to devour these three newborns.’

’But then he remembered—these were the children Jin’er had risked her life to bear. If the newborns died right after birth, how heartbroken would she be?’

’And he would certainly have their mate bond broken, becoming a pitiful Wandering Beast that no one wanted or cared for.’

"HISS~" Forcibly suppressing the immense destructive urge surging within him, he avoided looking at Ling Hong and slithered back to coil tightly around the unconscious An Jin.

Fearing Mi Yin would fly into another rage, Ling Hong could only hold the weakly whimpering little ones, his gaze fixed on the python in a wary, warning stare.

Xi returned with another basin of hot water. After thoroughly washing the female, he laid out fresh, thick, soft bedding, then carried her back to the bed and tucked her in.

Chi Li hadn’t expected An Jin to suddenly go into labor late at night. By the time he had prepared the necessary medicines and hurried over, it was all over. Thankfully, despite the ordeal, she had pulled through safely.

But they still couldn’t let their guard down for the period to come.

Pregnancy is an arduous journey, and childbirth is incredibly dangerous. The postpartum recovery period is also crucial; otherwise, she could be left with lifelong health problems.

He had prepared numerous packets of nourishing medicinal herbs for Ling Hong, giving him detailed instructions on when to administer them, what foods she should eat during this time, and other important precautions.
