WHEN BEAUTY MEETS BEASTS

714 The Only Choice

Huanhuan was tortured in the water for half the night.

By the time she was carried out, she felt as if her skin was about to wrinkle.

She lay in Sang Ye’s arms limply, her cheek pressed against his chest. Her long hair fell and swayed gently with his footsteps.

She was so tired that she fell asleep before she reached home.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

She was alone in the room. She struggled to her feet.

After a night of rest, her body recovered. Other than her chest feeling a little stuffy, she was fine.

Now, her physique was really getting stronger. In the past, she would definitely not be able to stand up after being tossed and turned by Sang Ye for half the night.

She reached for her clothes, only to find a faint black mark on the back of her hand.

She raised her wrist to take a closer look. It was a small piece of thin snake scale.

She tried to touch it. It was cold and slightly undulating. It was almost identical to the snake scales on Sang Ye’s body.

What was going on?

Huanhuan was very puzzled. She put on her clothes and walked downstairs to find Sang Ye cooking in the kitchen.

When Sang Ye saw her, he immediately asked, “Why are you downstairs? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

“I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere. I just have something growing on the back of my hand.”

Huanhuan raised the back of her hand, revealing the small pale black snake scale.

Sang Ye held her hand and stared at the snake scale. “I’ve heard from Uncle before that after a female of the demon race gets pregnant, there’ll be some changes in her body. For example, she’ll grow something similar to the child’s father.”

Huanhuan’s eyes widened involuntarily. “Am I pregnant?”

Sang Ye was even more excited than her, but he suppressed his ecstasy and said calmly, “You should be pregnant. Just to be safe, I think it’s better for you to test it with purple fragrance leaves.”

“Alright!”

Just in case, she had stored a lot of purple leaves in her space as backup. She could use them now.

Huanhuan brought a purple fragrance leaf to her nose and sniffed carefully. A stench entered her nose. She frowned involuntarily and quickly took the purple fragrance leaf away. She turned to the other side, covered her chest, and retched.

Sang Ye held her shoulders and stared at her nervously. “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

“I’m fine. My chest just feels a little tight.”

“Let me carry you back to rest.”

Sang Ye picked her up in his arms and strode upstairs before gently placing her on the bed.

After lying down, Huanhuan felt a little more comfortable.

“Lie down for a while. I’ll bring breakfast.”

Sang Ye quickly went downstairs and returned with a bowl of hot broth. However, when he handed the broth to Huanhuan, her face turned pale. The feeling of suffocation and nausea rose again.

She quickly waved her hand. “Take it away. I don’t want to eat it.”

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Sang Ye’s heart ached.

Since she didn’t want the soup, Sang Ye went to cook vegetable porridge and cut a few sweet fruits. He brought them all to her.

In the end, she ate a few sweet fruits and didn’t want to touch anything else.

Sang Ye was very worried. “You’ll be hungry if you only eat this much. Eat more.”

Huanhuan expressed that she really had no appetite and couldn’t eat.

This was not her first pregnancy, but it was the most intense one. She was not in a good state of mind. Her chest was stuffy, she couldn’t taste anything, and she always wanted to vomit.

She wondered how long the pregnancy this time would take.

If she was pregnant for a long time, she would definitely die of discomfort.

The news of Huanhuan’s pregnancy quickly spread. Mu Xiang specially came to congratulate her with many bags. However, she was shocked to see Huanhuan lying weakly on the bed.

“What’s wrong? You look terrible. Are you sick? Do you want Dong Ya to take a look at you?”

Huanhuan leaned back against the pillow, her face pale. “I’m fine. It’s all because of my pregnancy. I’m sure the baby is naughty.”

“You’re already in this state, yet you’re still in the mood to joke.”

The corners of Huanhuan’s mouth twitched into a smile. “Although my body feels terrible, I think it’s worth it to have a cute baby in my stomach.”

“In the end, it’s because you’re kind.”

“I’m not kind. It’s because I love my children.”

Because she was full of love, she had the motivation to push through whether it was for her children or her mates.

Mu Xiang laughed. “It’s their blessing to be your mate.”

Although the relationship between females and male beasts had become more and more harmonious and equal, very few females could love their mates like Huanhuan.

In order to let Huanhuan eat more, everyone in the family tried their best.

The best cooks in the family were Bai Di and Xue Ling. Now that Bai Di was not at home, Xue Ling took the initiative to take on the responsibility of being a chef.

He cooked every day, while Shuang Yun brought the children out to look for fresh ingredients. Yun Hui was also collecting all kinds of food that were helpful to pregnant women.

Sang Ye stayed by Huanhuan’s side and took care of her body.

However, even under such thorough care, Huanhuan’s body still lost weight at a visible speed.

Her originally small and exquisite face was now a little too thin. Her chin was sharp. She looked like a pale and thin porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest touch.

Everyone felt especially worried when they saw her like this.

Sang Ye even began to regret it.

If he had known that pregnancy would make Huanhuan feel so uncomfortable, he would rather not have children for the rest of his life.

After Huanhuan fell asleep, Sang Ye quietly left the bedroom. He walked downstairs and heard everyone discussing Huanhuan’s pregnancy.

Shuang Yun asked, “How long will it take for Huanhuan to give birth?”

Xue Ling thought for a moment. “Under normal circumstances, a female snake beast’s gestation period is usually half a month, but Sang Ye is different from ordinary snake beasts. The blood of the demon race flows in his body, which means that the child will be half-demon. The gestation period of the demon race is usually not fixed. It can be as short as three to five days or as long as a year or so.”

It had only been five days, but Huanhuan had lost a lot of weight. If this dragged on for another year or so, it would be a problem for her to survive and give birth.

The atmosphere suddenly became sad.

In the silence, Sang Ye spoke.

“If it doesn’t work, we’ll abort the baby.”

Everyone froze.

They looked at Sang Ye in unison.

Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. They did not expect Sang Ye to say such a thing.

However, everyone knew very well.

If it came to that, aborting the child was the only option.
