Chapter 130: Little Cub Takes After His Father and Loves Meat

By Wangchuan's side, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, several months had flown by, and it was now midsummer.

Everywhere were flowers and sunshine. In their leisure time, the little cats basked in the sun, sprawling lazily across the ground.

So did I, wandering about and going for walks, never having a moment of idleness.

The spirit deer's milk proved remarkably effective. In the days that followed, it was a small cup every day.

Drinking it not only aided our intimate relations, transforming me into an energetic drunkard who clung to Wangchuan relentlessly, constantly finding playful and varied ways to tease him, but it also affected my mood.

I found that after drinking it, I would always chuckle softly. Sometimes I would sit there grinning, wrapping my arms around Wangchuan's neck and smiling, burying myself in his arms and smiling, even waking up smiling from my dreams, only to continue dreaming with a smile.

Thus, those few months passed exceptionally fast. I joyfully spent the winter and welcomed the blooming of a hundred flowers.

During this time, Jiuyan was also remarkably quiet. Perhaps she had sensed the way the wind was blowing and had retreated far away.

She was a clever person; she should have known Wangchuan's current attitude.

In truth, I figured that in Wangchuan's eyes, it was simply two little cats secretly bickering.

Pets, after all, had plenty of idle time on their paws. Aside from eating, sleeping, and sunbathing, the rest of their time was spent fighting—neighborhood cats were just like that.

Two pets secretly clawing at each other wasn't a major issue, but if the master favored one side, it would obviously be bad.

Therefore, Wangchuan ignored it entirely, or perhaps he quietly watched the spectacle, likely deriving endless amusement from it.

I suspected he figured I wasn't coming out on the losing end, which was why he remained so unconcerned and detached.

Jiuyan had tried a few times afterward to use honeyed words and sarcasm to provoke my anger.

I did get angry indeed, but after letting the irritation simmer in my heart for a bit, I would simply hurl the exact same insults right back at her.

Back and forth we went, and soon I found that daily life had grown a little more interesting.

Naturally, life should have continued like this, but why did the timeline halt right here?

Two reasons.

The first reason: Early one morning, I was sitting on the sofa sucking on a lollipop.

For some reason lately, I had developed a sudden craving for sweets, and those celestial fruits that Wangchuan brought back no longer appealed to me at all.

What a wealthy tyrant I was, actually turning my nose up at immortal fruits.

Instead, I ordered the other little cats to go buy me a few cheap human lollipops with a few coins.

I offered Wangchuan a taste, but he indicated he didn't like it.

Being a beast, he naturally had no fondness for artificial additives; he preferred natural things.

For example: rare steak.

Yes, rare!

While I was sucking on my lollipop, Wangchuan announced he was hungry and told Jiuyan to prepare something to eat.

Since I wouldn't eat it, it was prepared entirely according to his tastes.

When Jiuyan returned a while later, carrying a slab of red beef seared only slightly on the surface, my brain went blank and I nearly had a nervous breakdown!

"What is this?!"

Swishing the lollipop in my hand, I stared in disbelief as Wangchuan sat down to eat.

"It's steak," Jiuyan replied respectfully. "Rare."

"R—a—r—e?" Dumbfounded and utterly shocked, I laughed. "Damn it, why didn't you just drag a whole live cow in here? You even bothered to sear it—were you afraid this steak might suddenly jump up and gore you to death?"

"Uh..." Jiuyan looked slightly dazed. "Master is a fierce beast, so he naturally enjoys eating raw meat occasionally, though it needs to be slightly warmed so it sits comfortably."

"Pardon your thoughtfulness." I sat beside Wangchuan, licking my lollipop while watching him eat.

True to his beastly nature, he hacked away at it with a small knife, chewing with a crunching sound no different from eating ordinary meat.

Utterly savage! I simply couldn't accept it—there was still blood in the middle!

No! What else was there besides blood?

"Want a piece?" Wangchuan asked, acting mischievous as he forked a small piece and held it right in front of me.

"No, no, no—" I hurriedly waved my hands. "Enjoy it yourself."

Wangchuan smiled, popped the piece of meat into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed.

Then—he kissed me right on the lips!

It happened so fast I didn't even see it coming!

Jiuyan lowered her gaze. Anyway, Wangchuan lived as he pleased; regardless of who was around, he kissed whenever he felt like it. Jiuyan had seen it often enough not to react as strongly as before.

Yet damn it, you just ate bloody beef and now you're kissing me?!

The lollipop slipped from my hand and shattered on the floor with a snap.

As for me, after staring blankly for a long moment, I started dry heaving straight away!

Simply because my sense of smell and taste had become so acute that this kiss made it feel as though my lips had been bitten until they bled—it tasted entirely of raw blood!

"Morning sickness again?"

With lightning speed, Wangchuan grabbed an empty plate and caught the bit of sour bile I retched up.

I had experienced morning sickness recently, but it wasn't severe—only occasional, extremely rare occasions.

"Yeah—morning sickness." I whimpered pitifully, grabbing a cup of water to soothe my throat.

My heart felt a bit bitter because, with Jiuyan present, I naturally had to have morning sickness!

Yet this old monster definitely knew why I was puking! The crafty look on his face, bastard... torturing me!

Just as I was retching, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my stomach, which instantly intensified!

"Ow, ow—" Quickly steadying myself, I leaned against Wangchuan. "My stomach—my stomach—ugh!"

This kind of pain was truly unbearable, feeling as though fractured bone ends that hadn't healed properly were being forcefully snapped back into place!

I forgot to mention, my human form could now show a slight bulge around the belly, roughly the size of a human three-month pregnancy—just a tiny, slight swelling.

A tiny bit.

Yet right at this moment, a distinct little lump suddenly pushed out from that tiny bulge! And then—it rolled around!

"Oh mother! Oh mother!"

I wailed miserably, though mostly out of sheer fright! Staring at my belly with the little moving lump, I howled aloud!

Wangchuan reached out and patted it, pressing down on the protruding lump before casually flicking it with his index finger, almost as a form of punishment.

A warm sensation spread through my stomach, and the pain subsided unlike before. After a minute or two, things returned to normal, and the bulge vanished.

I gasped for breath in sheer terror, and it took me a long time before I dared to ask, "What's wrong with it?"

"Hungry," Wangchuan replied simply.

"Hungry?"

Though this child had been brewing in my belly for nearly a year now.

Still, by all appearances, it looked to be only three or four months along. How could it suddenly get hungry?

Wangchuan smiled again. "The little cub takes after me. Catching the scent of blood, it naturally grew impatient."

"Uh—" I looked down at my stomach.

The mental image flashing through my mind was a scene straight out of *Animal Planet*, featuring two cool-looking cats, one large and one small, tearing happily into a bloody carcass.

Somewhat... unexpectedly chilling.

Still, regardless of what it was, it was my cub. If it wanted to eat meat, then meat it would eat; what fierce animal didn't eat meat?

Just as I regained my composure, I watched Wangchuan resume eating his meat.

The mental image shifted to a large and a small figure sitting here eating raw meat together, and suddenly, it felt quite lovely.

Just as I was lost in the sensation of feeling the little cub move inside my belly for the very first time, the second reason appeared.

Voices suddenly drifted in from outside—soft, gentle, and somewhat anxious.

It was Xiaoyun, saying she wanted to come in and find me, currently negotiating with the guards outside.

"Jiuyan, let Xiaoyun in." I hurriedly waved my hand, signaling Jiuyan to invite her in.

Jiuyan turned to welcome Xiaoyun, pouring a cup of water along the way—her housekeeper duties were at a hundred percent!

Xiaoyun didn't take the cup of water; she ran over joyfully, not forgetting to greet Wangchuan first. "Master."

"Mn." Knowing full well she was here to see me, Wangchuan acknowledged her and went back to his meal.

After greeting Wangchuan, Xiaoyun dashed right up to my side, leaning close to my ear with that same joyful tone.

"Qianqian! Xiaomi is about to give birth!"

"Ah?!"

I bolted straight up from my seat. "Xiaomi is finally going to give birth?!"

At the thought of Xiaomi's belly, a horrifying expression always surfaced whenever I saw it.

That enormous belly—she had already been waddling with her legs splayed months ago, and now, her entire pelvic bone seemed to have shifted!

It was like a cat blown up into a round balloon, resembling a pufferfish, sometimes walking unsteadily on all four paws.

If she didn't give birth soon, I really would have been scared out of my wits.

And now she was finally going to give birth! Thank goodness!

"Yes, yes—she's started yowling right now! Yubao is keeping her company over there! I came to ask if you want to go take a look?"

"Master..." I turned to look at Wangchuan.

Now I lived by a single truth: ask him about everything first before saying anything else.

Wangchuan understood my meaning and instructed softly, "Go ahead. If anything happens, just call out for me loudly."

"Okay!" I cheerfully grabbed Xiaoyun's hand. "Let's go! Let's go see little Pi-pi!"
