Chapter 1170: Giving Birth

The pain came suddenly and intensely, more painful than any of her previous childbirths.

The pain was secondary. Bai Qingqing felt extremely scared, afraid that the children might be affected. Thankfully, she also felt that she was almost going into labor soon, so the eggs should be fully grown by now.

Bai Qingqing moved her body with great difficulty, wanting to get up and return to the room. However, she felt another ripping and plunging pain from her stomach, causing her immediately to lose all strength and fall limply on the ground. She could only hold onto her stomach and curl up.

Amidst the pain, Bai Qingqing felt her pants getting wet from a warm, sticky liquid.

Muir couldn’t feel at ease. He closed the lid to the stove and got up to look for her.

When Muir saw the ball of animal fur on the floor, his senses were sealed up in that instant. His breathing stopped, his heart skipped a beat, and the sound of the wind next to his ears left him as well. All he could see was the small figure curled up into a ball.

After pausing for an instant, Muir ran over in horror and anxiety. “Qingqing?”

Bai Qingqing also sensed his intense panic amidst her great pain. She placed her small hand on his muscular arm, wanting to grab him to console him. However, her grip tightened from the pain and her nails sank into his skin.

“I… am going into labor soon,” Bai Qingqing said, trying to bear with the pain. She then panted heavily. Her face, which had previously frozen to a purplish-red color, now looked extremely pale, and a dense layer of fine sweat appeared on her skin.

Muir forced himself to calm down. He carried her up horizontally and quickly dashed into the stone castle, encountering Curtis, who was rushing out.

“Snow?” It was also rare for Curtis to show anxiety on his face.

Muir was in no mood to feign a peaceful relationship with him. “Scram!”

He knocked Curtis away angrily, then took big strides towards the bedroom. Curtis didn’t hold it against him and quickly followed after him.

Muir placed Bai Qingqing on the bed, then embraced her upper body, patting her back with his palm. Rather than consoling her, it seemed more like he was consoling himself.

“Does it still hurt?” Muir heard his own extremely hoarse voice. It was as if a ball of floccule was stuffed into his throat, making it extremely difficult for him to both speak and breathe.

The pain was too intense, and Bai Qingqing wasn’t able to say a single word. She could only try to console him by shaking her head.

Curtis also came to Bai Qingqing’s side, his expression looking scarily grim. He knew how strong snake beastmen’s vitality was. Snow would definitely have to be put through a round of hardship to forcibly part them from her.

He had been through a few experiences, so he could remain somewhat calm.

He took off Bai Qingqing’s pants.

Muir noticed it and instantly spread out his pricks. “What are you doing?”

If it wasn’t because Bai Qingqing was in his arms, he’d pounce on Curtis to attack him.

Curtis didn’t pay him any heed and only threw a cold glance at him before spreading his mate’s legs apart, checking her birth canal.

Muir followed Curtis’s gaze and came to a realization.

That’s right. Qingqing was going to lay eggs, so they had to remove her pants. Why had he forgotten about this?

Curtis put his hand in to check but didn’t feel anything. He felt at a loss too. After seeing a layer of goosebumps appearing on Bai Qingqing’s legs, he quickly pulled down the blanket to cover her lower body.

“Snow, don’t be scared. It’ll be fine after they come out.” Curtis moved to her upper body, holding her face and saying with certainty. Even though he was extremely scared, his tone made it hard for others to doubt him.

Bai Qingqing was consoled and her expression relaxed a little. She nodded the slightest bit, almost unnoticeable.

Bai Qingqing didn’t know whose hand she was grabbing onto, but she closed her eyes and used all her strength to push out what was in her stomach.
