Chapter 33 Longing
Chapter 33 Longing
Days passed, and early one morning, in the witch doctor's ward, the females lined up to get pregnancy test herbs and test for pregnancy.
Each face that emerged beamed with uncontainable joy, their eyes sparkling with excitement. A slight smile played on their lips, as if the entire beast world had become more beautiful because of this good news. They gently stroked their bellies, feeling the presence of new life, their eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation. This joy was beyond words.
Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei also received gifts from the females. Some gave her a bunch of wild vegetables, some a piece of meat, and others a few wild fruits. Although the gifts were small, the sentiments they conveyed were deep.
Lin Weiwei looked at the females of the Tiger Clan, all of them beaming with smiles. She had helped some of the male beastmen in the tribe improve their ranks and had also helped the females conceive. After staying here for twenty days, it was time to move on to the next stop: the Snake Clan.
After lunch
"Nightshade, I want to leave tomorrow for Youhao's tribe. Please tell your father and mother."
"Wei'er, are you unhappy with your stay, or what's wrong?"
"No, that's not it. We've stayed for about twenty days, that's about enough."
“There’s still a distance to Youhao’s tribe, and we’ll be staying at the Snake Clan’s tribe. I’ve missed the kids quite a bit these past few days away. I wonder if they’ve missed us,” Lin Weiwei explained.
Nightshade listened and nodded, indicating that he understood.
“Okay, I’ll talk to Father and Mother later. But, Wei’er, let’s leave early tomorrow and don’t let Yan Junyi know…”
Lin Weiwei smiled and said, "Okay! Let's leave early and not let him know."
As for Zexuan, after the children fell asleep, he would sit quietly in the courtyard every night, gazing into the distance, his heart filled with endless longing for Lin Weiwei. Her smile, her gentleness, her care—everything played out in his mind like a movie.
He recalled the time he spent with Lin Weiwei, from their marriage to her pregnancy, and from giving birth to raising the child. Every little moment of their relationship made him feel incredibly happy.
Now that Lin Weiwei wasn't by his side, he felt an immense emptiness and loneliness inside. He missed her embraces, her kisses, and the way she whispered in his ear, calling him Zexuan. Thinking about it, tears streamed down his face.
The next morning, before dawn, Ye Ying, Lin Weiwei, and You Hao quietly got up and prepared to set off.
As they left the tribe, the sun had just risen, illuminating the road ahead.
"Wei'er, are you tired? Sleepy? I'll transform into my beast form, you can sleep on me for a while longer," Night Shadow said, worried that Lin Weiwei was getting tired.
"Okay! I'll sleep a little longer." Pregnant Lin Weiwei was a bit sleepy.
You Hao picked up Lin Weiwei and let her lie on Ye Ying's warm back, swaying gently with his steps. Sunlight shone on them, and from a distance, it looked like You Hao was leading a tiger, with a beautiful woman sleeping on its back—a truly beautiful scene.
They arrived at the flowing stream, and You Hao carefully held Lin Weiwei in his arms, saying to Ye Ying...
"Let's rest here for a bit. Vivi likes fish, so go catch a few to grill and have some breakfast."
"Weren't you really good at catching fish last time? Let me carry Wei'er while you go catch them," Nightshade said.
"No need, switching back and forth will wake Weiwei up," Youhao said, feeling that Ye Ying always monopolized Lin Weiwei.
Night Shadow looked at the sleeping Lin Weiwei, nodded, and walked towards the deeper water.
In her sleep, Lin Weiwei vaguely felt someone gently stroking her cheek. She slowly opened her eyes and saw You Hao's affectionate gaze.
"Weiwei, you're awake," Youhao said softly.
Lin Weiwei smiled and nodded, then hugged You Hao tightly.
Just then, Night Shadow's voice came.
"Wei'er, look how many fish I caught!"
Lin Weiwei got up from You Hao's arms, looked at the fish in Ye Ying's hand, and smiled with delight.
Wow, so many fish! Nightshade, you're amazing!
Feeling a little embarrassed by Lin Weiwei's praise, Ye Ying quickly prepared the fish and grilled it over the fire.
Soon, the aroma of fish filled the air.
The three of them sat together, enjoying the delicious grilled fish...
