Chapter 171: Chapter 169: Pregnancy

The beastmen at the salt field stopped their work, all eyes turning in this direction.

Seeing that Corbin Crowley and Luna Sutton were causing a commotion, they all pretended not to notice and continued with their work.

Why should outsiders meddle in relationship issues between partners?

Corbin Crowley is in such a foul mood today, there’s no need to go over and invite trouble.

Of course, this is just the other beastmen at the salt field.

“Tsk, Corbin Crowley, where do you plan to take her in broad daylight? Everyone’s busy, the leader has entrusted the salt field to your care, slacking off isn’t good.”

Malachi Arcanus thrust the wooden salt shovel into the salt pile, crossed his arms, looked over, a playful smirk on his lips.

Getting chewed out early in the morning, accused of not doing his job properly.

Yet here he is, frantically lugging Luna Sutton to run some errands.

By the look of his urgency, he probably couldn’t hold it any longer.

Tsk… How can he criticize others like this?

Corbin Crowley halted in his tracks, his expression darkened instantly, about to speak.

Rhys Blackwood appeared at some point, quickly standing in front of them, his expression icy as he said, “Corbin Crowley, let her go!”

This kind of thing requires mutual consent, what’s the point of forcing?

Seeing Luna Sutton’s pale complexion, looking extremely uncomfortable, he frowned slightly.

Ignoring Corbin Crowley’s unpleasant expression, he went forward to snatch her away.

“What, planning to snatch her?”

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes coldly fixed on him, his figure flickered, and he instantly dodged Rhys Blackwood’s attempt to grab her.

Rhys Blackwood sneered mockingly, “Everything has a limit, can’t you see she’s about to throw up?”

Corbin Crowley was momentarily stunned, he turned to look at Luna Sutton’s face, only then noticing her strange expression. Panic surged in his heart, and he quickly set her down.

As Luna Sutton’s feet touched the ground, her stomach couldn’t be controlled anymore, “Ugh…”

She bent over, vomiting violently, her face pale.

Corbin Crowley furrowed his eyebrows tightly, unable to understand why she suddenly threw up.

Regretting his rough behavior, he reached out to support her, but Rhys Blackwood was quicker.

Rhys Blackwood’s face was cold, his tone unkind, “Corbin Crowley, can you have some sense in what you do? Carrying her like that, do you think she’s a rock?”

Corbin Crowley was rendered speechless by the criticism, annoyance flashed in his silver eyes, ready to say something.

Kian Sterling approached carrying a bowl of water, his expression indifferent, but a hint of coldness flickered deep in his eyes.

He looked at Corbin Crowley and finally uttered words of reproach: “Corbin Crowley, treating a female so roughly is not a good habit.”

With that, he walked over to Luna Sutton, handing her the water, speaking softly, “Drink some water slowly, it might make your stomach feel better.”

Luna Sutton took the water and drank a sip but didn’t have time to swallow before, “Ugh…”

She bent over to vomit again.

Almost emptying the food from her stomach.

Kian Sterling frowned, took out a piece of clean beast skin, and walked over to gently wipe her mouth while asking, “Why are you vomiting so severely? Did you eat something dirty? Or catch a chill last night?”

Upon hearing the words ’catch a chill last night,’ Malachi Arcanus suddenly thought of pulling Luna Sutton’s clothes last night, his face showing slight embarrassment.

At this moment, Luna Sutton also didn’t know what was wrong, weakly waving her hand, “I’m fine, maybe it was just too jolty earlier.”

She also felt that something was amiss, she had always been strong, but just a little jolt, and she was vomiting so violently?

Could it be that she drank too much raw water, and bacteria made her stomach uncomfortable, causing nausea?

It’s not that she doesn’t want to boil water to drink; it’s mainly because there isn’t the means to do so at the salt field.

She secretly used her supernatural abilities to check herself, discovering it wasn’t bad food or catching cold, rather, she was pregnant.

Realizing she was pregnant, Luna Sutton was instantly stunned, her expression exceedingly strange.

Suddenly curious about the species of the child in her belly and who the father might be.

Zeke Veridian and Malachi Arcanus can be ruled out first; she slept with neither of these guys, so the child couldn’t be theirs.

Kian Sterling can also be excluded; they only did that last night, no way it could happen so fast.

Biggest possibilities are Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood.

Thinking of a litter of wolf pups or a clutch of snake eggs in her belly made her expression extremely odd.

Wolf pups would be fine, but a clutch of snake eggs, just thinking about it made her scalp tingle and made her feel uneasy.

Luna Sutton fell into deep thought.

Beside her, Rhys Blackwood noticed her peculiar expression after using her supernatural abilities to check, but she said nothing. He couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Did you find anything?”

She instantly snapped back to reality, subconsciously touched her belly, her expression complicated as she said, “I have it!”

Rhys furrowed his brows slightly, a look of astonishment flashing across his stern face, “Pregnant? With what?”

Corbin was also a bit confused, unsure of what it could be.

Zeke and Malachi were even more perplexed, their eyes fixed on Luna Sutton.

Kian Sterling, however, had guessed a bit, the pretty fox tightly staring at Luna Sutton’s belly.

It seemed Luna was pregnant, based on the timeline, it was either Corbin’s or Rhys’s.

Thinking that the baby Luna was carrying wasn’t his, there was a glimmer of regret in his eyes.

Luna Sutton noticed the confused expressions on the other men, except for Kian Sterling, and said helplessly, “What else could it be? Of course, I’m pregnant with a baby!”

Rhys’s pupils suddenly contracted, his stern facial expression instantly stiffening.

He instinctively looked towards Luna Sutton’s abdomen, his gaze complex.

The Serpent Clan always had trouble with offspring, if it really was a batch of snake eggs, then…

Corbin’s silver eyes shone frighteningly bright, staring directly at her belly, his expression incredulous: “Luna, are you saying you’re pregnant?”

Luna Sutton found his reaction amusing and nodded calmly, “Yes, just checked using the ability, definitely pregnant.”

Corbin’s brows immediately tightened, silver eyes flickering with complexity, feeling both surprised and delighted.

“Luna, is it mine?”

He curled up the corners of his mouth in a pleased arc, regardless of the timing or the number of times they’d coupled, if it wasn’t his, whose could it be?

Of course, Rhys was also possible, but that possibility was instinctively ignored by him.

Luna Sutton twitched the corner of her mouth, thinking this dog of a man was truly mysteriously confident.

She hadn’t had time to refute.

Rhys spoke coldly, “Not necessarily.”

Corbin raised his eyebrows, his tone provocative, “Oh? Could it be yours then?”

Rhys remained expressionless, his voice cold as ice: “The Serpent Clan has difficulty with offspring, but if it really is mine, then it’s destiny.”

Kian Sterling interjected with a smile, “Oh come on, don’t fight, I just got close to Luna last night, maybe it’s mine?”

Though knowing it’s impossible, it didn’t stop him from being provocative.

Zeke snorted, “Old fox, stop it, even if I don’t understand, I know it takes time to get pregnant. You only paired with her last night, how could it be yours?”

Kian Sterling smiled warmly, saying the most venomous words in the gentlest tone: “It’s even less likely to be yours, since you haven’t even touched her.”

Zeke’s face darkened, emerald eyes flashing with anger, he said coldly: “I just disdain competing with some people.”

Malachi stood by, arms crossed, smiling roguishly: “It’s definitely not mine, as I’ve never touched her.”

Luna Sutton watched the five men argue with a tense atmosphere, unable to help but palm her forehead, “Alright, stop fighting, when the baby is born, its father will be obvious, right?”

Corbin narrowed his silver eyes, speaking with dominance: “No matter whose it is, as Luna’s first Beast Husband, it’s my responsibility to take good care of her.”

Rhys snorted coldly, “Care is fine, just don’t get all hands-on.”

Kian Sterling chuckled meaningfully, “Oh dear, we’re all looking out for Luna, why argue until red in the face? But…”

His tone shifted, fox-like eyes narrowing, “Luna is now a key protection figure, if certain someone can’t control themselves, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Just shy of directly naming Corbin.

Corbin sneered, a dangerous glint in his silver eyes, “Rude? Kian Sterling, you think I’m afraid of you?”

Kian Sterling’s fox-like eyes narrowed, smiling innocuously, “Afraid or not isn’t important, what matters is, Luna can’t handle any fuss right now.”

…

The two continued riposting.

At the verge of another argument.

Luna Sutton looked skywards exasperatedly, shouting, “Alright, shut up, if anyone else argues, I’ll have the baby in another tribe!”

The five men immediately fell silent, eyes fixed steadily on her, as if she might vanish at any moment.

She nodded in satisfaction, “That’s more like it, from now on, you five will take turns taking care of me, whoever does the best, the baby will recognize him as father!”

Corbin, Rhys, Kian Sterling, Zeke, Malachi: “…”

She slightly curled her mouth, starting to give orders: “Corbin, go pick up the little tiger, it won’t do if it’s broken. And make it a nest, feed it something to eat.”

Corbin narrowed his silver eyes, though somewhat reluctant.

But at this moment, he dared not antagonize her, obediently went to retrieve the little tiger thrown far away.

She turned to Rhys and Kian, saying to the two, “I discovered a patch of sweet stalk nearby, can be eaten directly or used to make sugar, you two go with me to cut it back.”

Rhys and Kian exchanged a glance, though puzzled, they didn’t question any further and followed Luna Sutton to harvest the sweet stalk.

Zeke and Malachi returned to the salt field, as no one supervising wouldn’t do.
