    The Yangs family’s house took three years to complete. Built roadside, the first floor’s two left rooms became a small shop and storage. The central room faced the noisy, dusty street, offering zero privacy because passersby could see right in.  

    The two right rooms: one served as the grandparents’ kitchen, the smallest room as Yang Jiabo’s bedroom. The grandparents stayed in the old house until their passing. Yang Jianjun and Li Guizhen lived there too.

    As soon as Su Yi entered, Tang Yu, who had been half-asleep on the bed, immediately perked up a little.  

    "Captain Su, if it weren’t for you, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to give birth." Tang Yu puffed out his cheeks, his plain but neat face wearing a faint look of relief. Before, while carrying the egg, he had been constantly worried about laying it. Now that it was finally over, his expression couldn’t have been more relaxed.

    Lu Gu’s anxious heart finally settled. He sent Shen Yan to fetch good tea leaves from Wei Lanxiang’s room, the midwife would be served tea later. He and Chen Xinlian busied themselves in the kitchen, preparing a hearty meal for her as well.

    Wei Lanxiang gave red envelopes, five copper coins each, to the women who had assisted. This was the customary amount in nearby villages. They’d be invited back for the full-month celebration with plenty of food and drink.

      Jiang Lin twirled the dagger above the book, his eyes glinting with malice. "But I'm a benevolent soul. I wouldn't stoop to such cruelty. At most, I'd simply relieve you of that... useless appendage. No need to express gratitude."

　　As Jiang Lin lamented his own benevolence, he swiftly flung the dagger, landing it precisely between the Fourth Prince's legs.

He shifted the knowledge to an unknown tribe to cover his tracks.

Rebirth with the Beast Chapter 115

Chapter 115  

    Su Yi was a little anxious. He turned and hurried into the house. Jells sat in the main hall, his expression grim. Though he said nothing, Su Yi could tell Jells was deeply distressed.  

    Su Yi and Mino quickly made their way inside, both wearing troubled expressions. Jells’ room was lined with the finest, softest animal pelts. Su Yi walked in barefoot, and as soon as he pushed open the inner door, a pungent smell of blood assaulted his senses.  

    Su Yi’s stomach churned, and his heart grew even heavier. This was Tang Yu’s blood, and it seemed like far too much had been lost.  

    Tang Yu, a young master born into privilege, had always been a little more pampered than others. Though he had learned self-reliance after his rebirth and endured many hardships, after meeting Jells, he had slipped back into his old, indulgent lifestyle.  

    And now, with Tang Yu pregnant, Jells had spoiled him rotten. Seeing Tang Yu in pain for an entire day must have felt like an eternity for Jells.  

    To be honest, Su Yi was a little scared. He didn’t know if Tang Yu could endure this. What if something went wrong? Would the pool water from his space help if the worst happened?  

    Just as Su Yi’s anxiety peaked, Tang Yu’s agonized scream tore through the air. “Aahh! Captain Su! I’m not giving birth anymore!!”  

    Not giving birth? 

    Su Yi let out a bitter laugh. Was this something he could just decide? He grabbed a piece of fur to cover his nose and mouth before approaching the bed.  

    The room was in chaos. Su Yi reached out and grasped Tang Yu’s trembling hand, his arm was shaking, his fingers deathly pale.  

    “It’s alright, don’t be afraid. My mom said she was in labor for a full day and night when she had me. You have to hold on.” Su Yi spoke softly while wiping the cold sweat from Tang Yu’s forehead.  

    The stifling heat in the room soon left Su Yi looking just as pale. His chest felt tight, and a sheen of sweat coated his skin.  

    Mino, noticing Su Yi’s condition, frowned. “Are you okay? Maybe you should step out.”  

    Su Yi shook his head, his gaze fixed on Tang Yu’s increasingly ashen face. His worry deepened, Tang Yu’s cries were growing weaker, as if his life force was slipping away.  

    The thought terrified Su Yi, especially since Tang Yu was someone he cared about. Unconsciously, his grip on Tang Yu’s hand tightened.  

    “Captain Su… I really can’t do this anymore… It hurts so much… Am I going to die?” Tang Yu’s plea was barely a whisper now.  

    “Tang Yu! Tang Yu, don’t fall asleep!” Su Yi’s expression twisted in panic.  

    With no other choice, Su Yi took out the pool water and carefully fed it to Tang Yu. Tang Yu recognized it but lacked the strength to react.  

    Mino, unaware of its significance, assumed Su Yi was just giving Tang Yu water for strength.  

    Ian hurried in and out, bringing fresh hot water. When Tang Yu suddenly stopped screaming, Jells grew even more frantic. Unable to bear it any longer, he called out from the doorway, “Tang Yu?”  

    Tang Yu’s eyes fluttered open weakly. “Captain Su… I think I heard Jells…”  

    His lips were cracked, his expression dazed. Su Yi knew Tang Yu wanted Jells with him, but he was afraid that if Jells entered, he’d lose his last shred of resolve.  

    “I miss him…” Tang Yu’s voice trembled, barely audible.  

    Su Yi’s eyes stung. Now that he was pregnant himself, his emotions had been unstable. Seeing Tang Yu like this, he couldn’t help but imagine himself in his place.  

    Tang Yu was proud and a little vain, he didn’t want Jells to see him in such an undignified state during childbirth. So before labor began, he had made Jells promise not to stay with him.  

    “Should I let him in?” Su Yi asked carefully.  

    Tang Yu’s eyes widened in panic. “No!”  

    Before he could finish, a voice cut in. “Fool.”  

    A figure with long, dark curls stepped into view. The simple word made Tang Yu’s heart ache.  

    Su Yi quickly moved aside as Jells rushed to Tang Yu’s side. The moment Tang Yu saw him, his reddened eyes welled up with fresh tears.  

    People were all the same, when sick or in pain, they feared seeing loved ones the most. Because then, they couldn’t hide their vulnerability.  

    With Su Yi holding his hand, Tang Yu had managed to hold on. But hearing Jells’ voice shattered his resolve. He wanted to cry, to throw a tantrum, to bury himself in Jells’ arms.  

    Jells’ hands clasped Tang Yu’s tightly before gently pulling him into an embrace.  

    The moment Tang Yu touched Jells’ chest, he broke down completely, sobbing between hiccups. “Jells… Mino said the egg is too big… It won’t come out… It’s my fault, I ate too much…”  

    Jells lowered his lashes, hiding the pain in his eyes. “We’ll never do this again.”  

    Tang Yu wanted to roll his eyes, but he lacked the strength. Instead, he hiccuped and looked up at Jells’ face.  

    He loved Jells’ eyes, they were deep and beautiful, always so focused when looking at him.  

    “But… if I don’t… you’ll be sad… hic!” Tang Yu’s words were interrupted by another hiccup.  

    “I won’t. I won’t.” Jells’ lashes trembled slightly. Was childbirth always this painful? He suddenly felt guilty for putting Tang Yu through this.  

    Outside, Jells’ courtyard was packed with people. Sinoer had been standing there all day, worried sick about Su Yi inside. The scent of blood had even reached the yard, and with the room sealed shut, he feared Su Yi might not handle it well.  

    After what felt like an eternity, Su Yi finally emerged, supported by Ian.  

    The moment Sinoer saw him, he rushed forward, carefully pulling Su Yi into his arms.  

    “Are you alright?” he whispered.  

    Su Yi waved him off, leaning exhaustedly against Sinoer. “Let’s go home and rest. It’s over now.”  

    On the way back, Su Yi fell asleep in Sinoer’s arms. In his dream, he wandered through a vast white expanse, barefoot on soft grass. After walking aimlessly for a long time, he suddenly saw eggs, countless, massive eggs.  

    He moved cautiously among them, filled with dread, as if one wrong step would crack their shells.  

    Then the dream shifted, he was back in his original world.  

    Tang Yu, heavily pregnant, had been arrested by Dong Xiaoxiao. Su Yi went to bail him out, only to find himself in a hospital, surrounded by white walls and hurried doctors.  

    A familiar figure appeared, a man with long, dark curls and sorrowful black eyes.  

    Panicked, Su Yi followed a nurse to an operating room. The light above the door flickered off.  

    Had Tang Yu given birth? Was it a boy or a girl? 

    As Su Yi approached, he saw Dong Xiaoxiao in tears and Mino wailing.

    Had something gone wrong? 

    A stretcher rolled out, the body beneath covered in white cloth. A terrible premonition seized Su Yi. He yanked the cloth away and woke with a gasp.  

    “Su Yi? Su Yi! What’s wrong?” Sinoer’s frantic voice brought him back to reality.  

    Su Yi blinked, disoriented, before letting out a shaky breath.  

    “A nightmare?” Sinoer wiped the sweat from his brow and pulled him closer.  

    Su Yi rubbed his face. “Yeah… a bad one.” He stretched, glancing at the dim sky outside. “How long was I asleep?”  

    “Since last night, almost a full day. Are you hungry?” Sinoer helped him dress.  

    “Yeah.” Su Yi clung to him, his heart still racing from the dream.  

    Sinoer carried him to the kitchen, where a warm meal waited. The two ate slowly, Su Yi picking at his food while Sinoer patiently fed him bites.  

    Their two children had already run off to Jells’ house, eager to see the new baby.  

    “Mother, you should’ve seen it! Uncle Tang Yu laid a huge egg! It had red flames on the shell!” little Eli exclaimed excitedly.  

    Su Yi smiled weakly, idly playing with Dino’s small hand.  

    “Oh, and new people came to the tribe! A mated pair. They want to stay,” Eli added, eyes gleaming mischievously.  

    Sinoer’s expression darkened when Eli mentioned the stranger’s odd question: “Are you the white winged serpent?”

    Su Yi who lost in thought, didn’t notice. The dream’s image, the face beneath the white cloth, haunted him.  

    “Why me?” he murmured.  

    “Hmm?” Sinoer glanced at him.  

    “Nothing. Let’s go check on Tang Yu.”  

    But as they stepped outside, Sinoer froze. A strange-looking female stood at their gate, scrutinizing their home.  

    When their eyes met, an odd sense of recognition flickered in Sinoer’s mind.  

    Have I seen him before?

    The female smiled. “You’re Sinoer, right? My mate and I just arrived. We’d like to stay.”  

    Sinoer’s gaze turned cold. He had no interest in this stranger.  

    Undeterred, the female's eyes locked onto Su Yi. “Is your mate… Mirel?”  

    The name made Sinoer’s blood run cold.  

    Seeing his reaction, the female smirked, until Sinoer’s icy reply cut him short.  

    “You’re mistaken.”  

    Without another word, Sinoer carried Su Yi away. But his mind raced.  

    Who is he? How does he know Mirel?

    Peeking from the furs, Su Yi watched the furious stranger with narrowed eyes.  

    By the time they reached Jells’ house, the yard was packed with well-wishers and onlookers.  

    Su Yi slipped out of Sinoer’s arms and strode inside, forcing himself to appear energetic.

     Some merchant friends shared their indignation, while others urged them to send the children to a formal academy.

    Little Ruili grumbled, unwilling to admit his earlier misjudgment. "I want to eat sour chicken feet."  

Rebirth with the Beast Chapter 114 Part 2

       Sinoer’s voice brimmed with happiness as he kissed Su Yi’s lips. Females were delicate, and in recent years, their birth rates had declined across tribes. To others, Su Yi was incredibly lucky to be expecting one.  

　　Sinoer clearly adored the idea. Normally reserved, he now couldn’t stop talking about Su Yi’s pregnancy.  

　　"Su Yi, winged serpent pregnancies are short. Though you’ll suffer a bit since it’s a female, you should give birth by the hot season."  

　　Su Yi didn’t have the heart to interrupt him, nodding along as Sinoer rambled. His mate practically glowed, his already stunning features now radiant with excitement. His gem-like eyes sparkled brilliantly as he spoke.  

　　"Su Yi, if it’s a female, we’ll need to prepare a prettier room. Mino says females love beauty, we should build him a flower garden by the window, just like Mino’s..."  

　　As Sinoer spoke, his pale lips moved enticingly, glistening with a tempting sheen.  

　　Su Yi’s gaze fixated on them. Suddenly, he pulled Sinoer down and pressed their lips together.  

　　Not scorching, but warm enough to melt the softest parts of Su Yi’s heart.  

　　Pregnancy really does make emotions unpredictable, so sentimental now.

　　Su Yi closed his eyes, savoring Sinoer’s warmth. The kiss stirred something in Sinoer too.  

　　Where would I be without him? 

　　Still wandering like a tree without roots, homeless, without companions. Maybe dead last snow season, buried under endless white. 

[无根之木 (wú gēn zhī mù): lit. a tree without roots; fig. something without a stable foundation]   

　　"Su Yi... thank you."  

　　Su Yi burrowed into Sinoer’s embrace for a long moment before asking, "What about the beast herd?"  

　　"Handled, don’t worry," Sinoer said, carrying him out. He knew Su Yi must be hungry.  

　　"What about the kids?" Su Yi clung to him like an octopus, refusing to be put down.  

　　He chalked his behavior up to pregnancy syndrome. Right now, he was the baby who needed pampering.  

　　"Helping clean up the valley. They’ll be back by evening," Sinoer said, adjusting Su Yi with one arm while skillfully cooking with the other. Since Su Yi had gotten lazy, Sinoer’s culinary skills had improved, although it was not as good as Su Yi’s, but decent for an orc.  

　　After Su Yi ate his fill, Eli came storming in with a troop of little friends.  

　　"Mother! Mother! Uncle Mino said I’m going to be a big brother?"  

　　Su Yi watched the tiny figure toddling urgently toward him and remembered how, long ago, Eli had seemed against the idea of a sibling. Deciding to tease him, Su Yi said, "Yes."  

　　Leaning against Sinoer, Su Yi watched Eli struggle to kick off his shoes before clambering onto the bed.  

　　"Mother, you need to rest! Uncle Mino said it’s a female, so I have to protect him. My friends will too!"  

　　Eli pointed solemnly at the cluster of little heads peeking through the doorway, who all nodded vigorously.  

　　Su Yi had expected Eli to whine, Mother, I don’t want a baby! So this mature response took him by surprise.  

　　Dino climbed up next, his small face serious. "Mother... can I touch my brother?"  

　　Eli’s eyes lit up. "Me too!"  

　　Sinoer frowned. "No, it’s too early, and you’re not gentle enough."  

　　The two deflated, disappointed. Amused, Su Yi lifted his shirt, revealing his firm, flat abdomen.  

　　"He’s too small to feel right now. How about when he’s bigger?"  

　　The boys stared at Su Yi’s stomach, verifying there was indeed nothing to see, before reluctantly scrambling off to play.  

　　The days that followed were awkward for Su Yi. He’d always been active, meddling in everything. Now, pregnant and lazy, he could barely be bothered to move.  

　　Recently, he’d heard the wandering orc had found a female child outside. Unable to find him a home, he’d ended up raising him himself just beyond the valley.  

　　Concerned for their safety, the tribe had invited them to move inside. These days, everyone was busy building the wandering orc a house.  

　　He’d also heard Tang Yu’s temper had worsened as his due date approached, likely from anxiety.  

　　Then there was Reg, who had confessed to Ian, only to be rejected. Free of his past burdens, Ian had grown livelier, often joining hunts and becoming stronger.  

　　The biggest change, however, was in Su Yi’s own family, especially Eli.  

　　The once-spoiled child seemed to have matured overnight, no longer clinging to Su Yi. He dressed himself now and even helped with chores.  

　　Though barely three, he declared earnestly that he needed to grow up fast to protect his brother and mother.  

　　Dino had taken up hunting and occasionally gathered herbs for Mino. Most young orcs lacked such patience, but Dino thrived on learning.  

　　Pampered by the entire family, Su Yi had fully embraced his new role as a lazy, pampered househusband.  

　　Time passed. Another beast horde attacked, though small enough to go largely unnoticed.  

　　While driving them off, the orcs rescued a mated pair. The newcomers sparked curiosity, even Su Yi was intrigued.  

　　Then, one day, Tang Yu went into labor.  

　　Su Yi wanted to visit, but Sinoer forbade it, confining him to the house.  

　　Counting on his fingers, Su Yi estimated Tang Yu’s pregnancy at eight months, it was long for an orc. His own would last only five months, ending around the hot season.  

　　Tang Yu labored for an entire day. By nightfall, exhausted, he demanded Su Yi’s presence, threatening not to deliver otherwise.  

　　Mino who was equally anxious, summoned Su Yi.  

　　When Su Yi rushed over, Mino pulled him aside. "It’s an egg, it's big, this will be difficult."

　　Su Yi found the noise irritating, but he was too lazy to open his eyes and speak, so he drifted in and out of sleep, unwillingly enduring the clamor.  

　　After tending to Su Yi, Mino turned his attention to the wandering orc waiting outside. Mino couldn’t help but feel pity for him, like Ian, he had been tormented by that despicable Luoxi. But now that Luoxi was gone, it was a relief.  

　　"You’re injured too. Let me take a look at you," Mino said, approaching the wandering orc.  

　　The wandering orc froze, caught off guard by the sudden kindness. It wasn’t until someone else nudged him forward that he snapped out of his daze.  

　　Mino chuckled at the orc’s awkwardness, remembering how he himself had once been just as timid. But while Mino had been fearful, this wandering orc simply seemed uncomfortable.  

　　When Sinoer was told he was going to be a father, he thought he was hallucinating. It wasn’t until the injured orc repeated the news loudly that Sinoer sprinted back to the valley. Recalling how Su Yi had been unable to stand the smell of blood recently, Sinoer cursed himself for not being more attentive.  

　　Mino’s makeshift infirmary was at his own home. To accommodate patients, he had expanded his yard and added a few extra rooms.  

　　When Sinoer arrived, Su Yi was still half-conscious. Seeing him lying on a dirty fur, weak and pale, Sinoer’s heart clenched painfully.  

　　Su Yi had always been fastidious about cleanliness. Trembling slightly, Sinoer carefully lifted him up into his arms. The place was crowded with injured people, noisy and chaotic. Sinoer wanted to take Su Yi home, but someone blocked his path.  

　　He looked up and saw the wandering orc frowning at him.  

　　"When I found him, he was surrounded by beasts in a house. If I hadn’t arrived in time, his baby would’ve been in danger," the wandering orc said, his tone accusatory. Clearly, he thought Sinoer was a terrible mate for not even realizing Su Yi was pregnant.  

　　Sinoer paused, then quietly thanked him. He knew the orc was reprimanding him, but he had no defense. This was his fault, he had been too preoccupied with the valley’s affairs to notice Su Yi’s symptoms.  

　　Carrying Su Yi back, Sinoer changed him into fresh clothes and wrapped him in the softest fur he could find.  

　　"Su Yi? Su Yi?" Sinoer whispered in his ear.  

　　Su Yi groggily opened his eyes and blinked at him in confusion. "Why are you back?"  

　　"Listen to me. Take me into your space now," Sinoer coaxed gently.  

　　"Why?" Su Yi frowned.  

　　"Just do it first!" Sinoer insisted.  

　　Su Yi had no choice but to grab Sinoer’s hand and pull them both into the space.  

　　Sinoer carried Su Yi effortlessly, heading straight for the bedroom.  

　　"Su Yi, you’re having baby. It’s too chaotic and cold outside. Stay here and rest. You can come out when you’re feeling better, okay?" Sinoer laid him on the bed, amused by how Su Yi nuzzled against him like a clingy child.  

　　"But what about outside? Wait—" Su Yi suddenly realized something was off.  

　　Baby? What baby? 

　　The drowsy man abruptly sat up, only to sway dizzily from the sudden movement.  

　　Sinoer steadied him, then placed a hand on Su Yi’s still-flat stomach. "You... you just said I have what?"  

　　Su Yi’s hair was a mess, his eyes wide and bewildered, his expression adorably dumbfounded. Sinoer’s heart itched with affection.  

　　Leaning in, Sinoer kissed his cheek. "A baby. You’re carrying our baby."  

　　Su Yi wanted to say something, but seeing Sinoer’s joyful expression, he held back. He didn’t want Sinoer to know he didn’t want another child. His face twitched before forcing a sweet smile.  

　　"Hahaha, pregnant, pregnant... that’s, that’s great."  

　　Inside, Su Yi’s mind was in turmoil: No wonder I’ve been so off lately, it’s pregnancy symptoms! I thought I was just lethargic from spring fatigue.

　　"Alright, it’s warm, quiet, and safe in here. Rest well. Outside should be secure by tomorrow. If I’m not in the room when you come out, don’t leave on your own," Sinoer instructed, tucking him back in.  

　　After sending Sinoer out, Su Yi lifted the blanket with mixed emotions and rubbed his stomach. It was surreal, a tiny life was growing inside him.  

　　Though he had sworn he didn’t want kids, now that it had happened, he couldn’t just not have it. His only redeeming quality was his adaptability, like when he’d been reborn as someone else’s wife.  

　　Most rugged men would’ve fought tooth and nail upon hearing such news, but not him.  

　　"What others desperately wish for, Tang Yu and I just keep stumbling into," Su Yi muttered before flopping back down.  

　　This time, when he woke, a full day had passed.  

　　Starving, Su Yi grabbed a fruit, nibbled on it, and stepped out of the space, only to be immediately swept into someone’s arms.  

　　Sinoer exhaled in relief. He’d been afraid Su Yi would oversleep and forget to come out.  

　　Su Yi sniffed. Sinoer smelled nice, he must have bathed and applied some kind of fragrance.  

　　Noticing Su Yi’s action, Sinoer smiled. "Mino made this scent. He said your strong reaction to blood might mean you’re carrying a female."  

　　A female?

　　"You can tell that already?" Su Yi found it incredible.  

　　"Of course. Look at Tang Yu, he barely had any symptoms because he’s carrying an orc child. But you’ve been so sensitive from the start. It must be a female."

　　In the city, merchants usually approached the martial arts school to request specific services, and the school would assign the appropriate men. The school paid the men based on their skill level, with a fixed monthly salary. Any additional tips from clients were extra income.

    In Huamei Alley, children played and laughed. Four or five-year-old toddlers, clad in red bellybands, ran around wildly. Some, finding the heat unbearable, even kicked off their shoes and scampered barefoot. Women and maids tasked with watching the children chatted idly by the door, occasionally calling out to keep the little ones from straying too far. They also had to retrieve the discarded shoes to avoid losing them.

　　Most of the Zhang clan lived in Jijiu Village, though a few had moved to other villages or the city. However, the majority remained in the village.

　　Without a clan leader for two generations, the descendants had grown more distant. The Zhang family was known in the village as a large family with a decent standard of living, but they weren’t respected or feared like the landlords. The main reason was that everyone knew the Zhang family was fragmented.

Rebirth with the Beast Chapter 113 Part 2

　　Sinoer got up to investigate and soon returned. He bundled Su Yi in furs, grabbed the two children, and carried them out of the house.  

　　Outside was chaos, families rushing about in panic.  

　　Su Yi groaned uncomfortably. "What’s going on? It’s so cold!"  

　　Sinoer kissed his forehead and hurried toward the tunnel.  

　　After settling Su Yi and the kids, Sinoer said, "Rest well. Don’t worry."  

　　Su Yi blinked drowsily. "Mm. Be careful." By now, he was a little more awake but still too lazy to move. He knew a large beast horde must have arrived. After Sinoer left, more females and children were brought in.  

　　Tang Yu was one of the last to arrive. He seemed reluctant to stay and had been arguing with Jells. Jells sternly placed him beside Su Yi, then piled a heap of food into Tang Yu’s arms.  

　　Since the tunnel wasn’t as warm as home, Jells didn’t bring fresh fruit, just dried ones.  

　　Tang Yu clutched a sealed jar of bone broth Jells had made. Though Jells wasn’t the best cook, Tang Yu wasn’t picky.  

　　He gulped down the broth noisily. Su Yi, now slightly more alert, pointed at the jar.  

　　Tang Yu side-eyed him, thinking how annoyingly lazy Su Yi looked, ordering people around like this.  

　　He handed the jar to Su Yi, muttering, "Here. I thought you’d be out hunting with them."  

　　Su Yi took a sip, then closed his eyes, not wanting to talk. The two kids, however, were full of energy. Eli ran off to play with friends before darting back to squeeze into Su Yi’s arms.  

　　Compared to Eli’s liveliness, Dino was much more well-behaved. He occasionally helped Tang Yu with food or ate a little himself. When he saw Su Yi tossing and turning, the blanket slipping off, he quietly tucked him back in.  

　　Tang Yu watched, thinking, When I have my own kid, I’m going to raise them to be just like Dino.

　　Little did he know, his kid would be nothing like Dino. Instead, they’d take after him, becoming a little troublemaker.  

　　This beast horde was massive, and many orcs were injured. Mino and Ian didn’t retreat to the tunnel, they stayed to treat the wounded.  

　　After being cooped up for a day, Su Yi finally couldn’t take it anymore and went out to see what was happening. The orcs guarding the tunnel didn’t stop him. If it had been any other female, they would have intervened, but this was Su Yi. His capabilities were well-known, even if he looked unwell, everyone knew how capable he was.  

　　Su Yi, now crowned with the title of "capable," looked up at the sky. No wonder they’d been sent to the tunnels, this horde included flying beasts.  

　　Su Yi rarely encountered flying creatures and frowned. The valley could block land beasts, but not these winged predators.  

　　He hadn’t gone far when one of the beasts spotted him.  

　　With no females or children left outside, the flying beasts had been ransacking houses, devouring any dried meat left in courtyards.  

　　Now, seeing fresh prey like Su Yi, they immediately swooped toward him. Su Yi panicked and ducked into a nearby house.  

　　Once inside, he pulled out a bow from his space and took aim at the closest beast. Though not large, it had razor-sharp claws and teeth.  

　　Su Yi’s arrow pierced its skull, splattering brain matter. As he reached for another arrow, a wave of dizziness hit him. His heart sank as he shut the door and slumped to the ground.  

　　What’s wrong with me? Su Yi wondered. Did that white-haired illness not fully heal?

　　Outside, more beasts gathered.  

　　The commotion drew attention. An orc in beast form charged over, assuming a female or child was trapped. His roar scared off a couple of beasts, but the rest, driven by hunger, bared their fangs defiantly.  

　　Su Yi took a deep breath and peeked through the door crack. To his surprise, the orc outside was the wandering orc from before.  

　　Still recovering from old injuries, the wandering orc hadn’t joined the hunt outside the valley. Instead, he’d stayed behind to deal with these weaker flying beasts.  

　　But even against weaker foes, numbers wore him down. Soon, fresh wounds marred his body.  

　　Su Yi fired two more arrows, both grazing past the wandering orc to strike two beasts in the head.  

　　The wandering orc glanced at the fallen beasts, then at the slightly ajar door.  

　　Without a word, he fought more fiercely.  

　　Su Yi occasionally helped with another arrow, thinning the horde until it was safe to emerge, covering his nose and mouth.  

　　The wandering orc was startled to see Su Yi but quickly understood. He studied Su Yi’s expression, hesitated, then went inside and returned with a large fur.  

　　"Here. Sorry for the inconvenience," he said, wrapping it around Su Yi.  

　　Su Yi didn’t refuse, but his head felt heavy and his feet light.  

　　"Take me to Mino. And don’t tell Sinoer I came out," Su Yi said.  

　　The wandering orc hesitated. He’d planned to take Su Yi straight to Sinoer. Although he wasn't particularly smart, he could tell Su Yi wasn’t well. Females usually sought their mates when unwell. He’d assumed Su Yi had risked coming out to find Sinoer.  

　　Instead, he brought Su Yi to Mino, who lifted the fur and paled at the sight of Su Yi’s ashen face.  

　　Mino immediately set aside his work and began examining Su Yi. Ian hurried over.  

　　"What’s wrong?" Ian asked anxiously. He’d never seen Su Yi so frail.  

　　Mino’s examination suddenly paused. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he checked again.  

　　Then he blurted out, "He’s pregnant!"  

　　"Pregnant?!!" Ian repeated, his voice rising.  

　　The room erupted in chaos. Pregnancy was joyous news. Even the injured orcs forgot their wounds, crowding around to see what a "pregnant female" looked like.  

　　One overexcited orc even limped out to spread the word.  

　　Su Yi, still dazed, heard the buzz around him.

　　The calf had grown a bit. Lately, because of the heat, it often went to the river to soak. Da Hui accompanied it out the back gate, so no one needed to go with it. The calf would return on its own once it had had enough.

Rebirth with the Beast Chapter 113 Part 1

Chapter 113  

　　"The cold season is coming, and a beast horde is heading our way. To get fresh meat, they went out hunting early in the morning."  

　　As Su Yi spoke, he picked up a meatball and brought it to Tang Yu's lips. Tang Yu took a bite and was immediately captivated by the delicious flavor. The meatball was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a rich aroma in his mouth. 

　　"This is amazing!" Tang Yu struggled to sit up, and Su Yi quickly placed a cushion behind him. Without support, Tang Yu would easily topple over.  

　　Once he fell, it would be like the sky and earth flipping, getting up on his own would be nothing short of a miracle.  

　　Back at his own home, there had been a time when Jells went out, only to return and find Tang Yu lying on the bed with a look of utter despair. Before leaving, Jells had propped Tang Yu up, but Tang Yu had reached for a fruit and accidentally tipped over, unable to get back up. So he just lay there, his huge belly making him look utterly helpless, waiting for Jells to return.  

　　After that incident, Tang Yu became afraid of being alone. That’s why Jells had brought him here this time, not just because it was safer at Su Yi’s place, but also to prevent Tang Yu from getting stuck again.  

　　Su Yi and Tang Yu chatted and ate together, and before they knew it, they had eaten everything edible.  

　　Su Yi suddenly snapped back to reality and patted his belly in dismay. "Damn, gluttony really is contagious. If I keep eating like this, my perfect figure is going to disappear."  

　　Tang Yu gave Su Yi a disdainful look, then rubbed his own belly.  

　　"Heh, feels like I’m carrying a basketball."  

　　A basketball? Su Yi glanced at it, then moved behind Tang Yu, staring intently at his stomach.  

　　Tang Yu grew uneasy under his gaze and said, "If you want to touch it, be careful."  

　　Su Yi reached out but suddenly pulled his hand back. He remembered something his mother had once told him, when she was pregnant with him, a neighbor who had been struggling to conceive came over and asked to touch her belly, believing it would bring her luck. His mother, feeling sorry for her, allowed it, and miraculously, the neighbor later got pregnant.  

　　Though the idea was superstitious, Su Yi decided not to take the risk. He loved kids, but he already had two at home. Right now, he would rather enjoy some alone time with Sinoer.  

　　Seeing Su Yi lost in thought, Tang Yu assumed he was afraid of causing harm by touching. He grabbed Su Yi’s hand and abruptly placed it on his belly.  

　　"Don’t worry, Su Yi. You’re going to be this kid’s godfather. What’s there to be afraid of?" Tang Yu said generously.  

　　Su Yi froze as if electrocuted.  

　　He lowered his gaze to his hand on Tang Yu’s belly and suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.  

　　Tang Yu noticed Su Yi’s drastic change in expression and asked worriedly, "Su Yi, are you okay?"  

　　Su Yi slowly withdrew his hand and forced a smile. "Probably... probably fine."  

　　Probably fine?

        Tang Yu rolled his eyes. How could someone not know if they were okay? Seriously.  

　　In the afternoon, Jells and the others returned with a bountiful haul.  

　　Perhaps sensing something, Jells followed Sinoer’s example and processed all the prey before bringing it to Su Yi’s house.  

　　Previously, Jells had always been the one who hunted the most, but since his family couldn’t eat everything, he would leave some for others. This time, however, everyone had enough, and wasting it would be a shame. So Jells shamelessly hauled everything to Su Yi’s place.  

　　Though curious, no one questioned it. They all knew Su Yi had a large cellar—maybe Jells was storing the excess there.  

　　Later, Sinoer took Su Yi outside. It turned out Jells and Sinoer had hidden even more prey in a cave outside the valley to avoid suspicion.  

　　Su Yi stared at the mountain of unprocessed prey, his face twitching. He resigned himself to dragging one toward the river.  

　　But after only a few steps, he suddenly felt dizzy.  

　　"What’s wrong? You look pale," Sinoer immediately noticed Su Yi’s discomfort. He dropped what he was holding and carried Su Yi back home.  

　　Su Yi didn’t feel particularly unwell, just incredibly lazy. In the end, Jells and Sinoer secretly processed all the prey in the dead of night.  

　　Near dawn, Sinoer washed up thoroughly before daring to enter the bedroom. But even then, Su Yi could still smell the heavy scent of blood on him.  

　　Just as Su Yi was about to speak, his stomach churned violently.  

　　Seeing Su Yi’s expression darken, Sinoer reached out to steady him, but Su Yi pushed him away.  

　　Sinoer paused, then realized the smell must be making Su Yi nauseous.  

　　But in the past, Su Yi had never been bothered by blood, he’d even hunted himself without issue. So why now?  

　　Both Su Yi and Sinoer were puzzled.  

　　Helpless, Su Yi and Sinoer slept in separate rooms for the first time, as if they were going through some seven-year itch.  

　　For several days, Su Yi slept poorly, dreaming of all kinds of children or small beasts running wild in the forest.  

　　Meanwhile, the orcs were busy. The recent beast horde had left a strong scent of blood around the valley, which would likely attract more beasts.  

　　To ensure the valley’s safety, everyone worked tirelessly, building more traps, reinforcing defenses, improving the tunnels for comfort, and stockpiling food and water. They didn’t want their females suffering in the tunnels.  

　　A few more days passed. The ice in the river had completely melted. Late one night, a loud crash came from the water gate.  

　　The valley’s alarm horn blared.

Chapter 112

　　Su Yi watched Luoxi calmly. Right now, he didn’t need to say much, the curious crowd would ask the questions for him.

　　"A wandering orc? How could a wandering orc protect you?" A young female suddenly shouted. Su Yi recognized him, he was the young female who had been spending time with Dino lately.

　　Ferosa immediately stepped forward, pointing at Ian. "This was supposed to be Ian’s trial! Why are you all fixating on Luoxi instead?"

　　"Because there’s a misunderstanding between Ian and Luoxi. How can everyone understand why Ian hit him unless we clarify things?" Su Yi replied with a composed smile. The crowd was clearly more interested in Luoxi’s past now, ignoring Ferosa’s protests.

　　What puzzled them was: How had Luoxi been captured twice and rescued both times?

　　According to Luoxi, the first time he was saved by a wandering orc, and the second time, another wandering orc helped him escape.

　　Everyone knew what wandering orcs were like. One lucky encounter with a "kind" wandering orc might be believable, but two? How could there be so many "kind" wandering orcs by coincidence?

　　As murmurs spread through the crowd, Luoxi opened his mouth to speak, but Su Yi cut in first. "Let’s not talk about what happened years ago. Let’s focus on the recent incident."

　　Su Yi walked toward Luoxi, whose face remained deathly pale. Luoxi had already realized, Su Yi was determined to destroy him today.

　　"Not long ago, when we drove out the wandering orcs, many of us witnessed Luoxi being led out of their hideout by a wandering orc. I was there, and so was Jill." Su Yi glanced at Jill, who stood nearby with a dark expression.

　　Jill hadn’t expected Su Yi to drag him into this. He glared at Su Yi but reluctantly nodded in confirmation.

　　With Jill's acknowledgment, Su Yi continued, "Back then, Luoxi never explained his relationship with that wandering orc. Later, that wandering orc died suddenly, leaving no one to clarify things. A wandering orc wouldn’t help a female for no reason. As for what their relationship was, only Luoxi can answer."

　　The crowd erupted. Speculations flew, making Jill’s face grow increasingly grim. Ferosa, meanwhile, glared at Su Yi with such fury that Su Yi was certain she’d attack him if she could.

　　"You’re lying! Luoxi is the kindest person in our tribe! How dare you slander him?" Ferosa shouted, her face flushed with anger.

　　Su Yi didn’t argue. Instead, he said, "I think this person can clear things up for everyone."

　　As soon as he spoke, a heavily injured figure emerged from behind Hunter’s group. The man staggered unsteadily, looking like he might collapse at any moment. The moment Luoxi saw him, his legs gave out, and he crumpled to the ground.

　　Jill, recognizing the man, opened his mouth to speak but froze when he saw Luoxi’s reaction. Luoxi’s terror was as good as a confession.

　　Those who had joined the mission to expel the wandering orcs immediately recognized the man.

　　"Isn’t that the wandering orc who saved Luoxi?"

　　"Wait, didn’t he die?"

　　The wandering orc limped toward Luoxi. With each step, Luoxi trembled violently.

　　Ferosa rushed to shield Luoxi, yelling, "Who is this filthy man? Someone drive him away!"

　　No one responded. Instead, they all stared at Luoxi with complicated expressions.

　　"Luoxi, surprised I’m not dead?" The wandering orc grinned savagely, making Ferosa recoil in fear.

　　"I betrayed everyone to save you. You promised that if I helped you escape, you would—"

　　"Shut up! Shut up!" Luoxi suddenly screamed, cutting him off. This deranged version of Luoxi was something no one had ever seen before. The "kind" Luoxi they knew had vanished, replaced by this venomous stranger.

　　Luoxi clutched his ears, his eyes wide with panic. Then his gaze locked onto Su Yi, filled with bone-chilling hatred.

　　Su Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

　　"It’s all your fault! If it weren’t for you, no one would know... Why did you have to show up? Because of you, two people who should’ve died are still alive! Are you some kind of demon?!" Luoxi hissed, stepping closer.

　　Su Yi frowned. Luoxi had completely shed his facade, revealing his true, vicious nature. Ian grabbed Su Yi’s hand protectively, glaring at Luoxi. When Luoxi’s eyes met Ian’s, his lips twisted into a mocking smile.

　　"Ian, you’re the stupidest orc I’ve ever met. You can’t even transform, yet you dared to hope for a female? A worthless unknown orc like you, what could you offer me? Your body, already used and discarded by other orcs?"

　　Ian’s hand trembled violently, his face draining of color. A look of humiliation and pain flashed across his features.

　　Ferosa stood frozen, staring at Luoxi as if seeing him for the first time. This venomous creature, was this really the Luoxi he’d called his best friend?

　　"Shut your mouth!" Jero roared.

　　Luoxi laughed wildly, pointing at Jero and then at the crowd. "Su Yi, you forced this! If you’re going to ruin me, I’ll ruin him too!" His malicious gaze returned to Ian.

　　"Ruin him? You?" Hunter’s voice was icy as he stepped beside Ian, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

　　"Do you think I don’t know? All of you, what disgusting thoughts do you harbor just because Ian is beautiful? If I expose you, none of you will be able to stay here!" Luoxi threatened.

　　Jill, who had been silently watching, finally snapped. "Enough! Luoxi, that’s enough!"

　　At Jill’s outburst, Luoxi’s expression faltered. Tears welled in his eyes, and his face twisted into a pitiful mask, a stark contrast to the hatred from moments ago.

　　"Jill, I didn’t mean it... I was captured, and I had to rely on others to survive. But I’ve always loved you. You know that, don’t you?"

　　Jill’s anger wavered, but before he could respond, Luoxi’s expression shifted again, this time into cruel mockery. "Oh, did you want me to say that? Too bad. I never loved you. I prefer stronger orcs, but all the orcs in our tribe are weak."

　　The whiplash of Luoxi’s mood swings left Jill stunned.

　　"This Luoxi... What a disgusting person!" an orc muttered. Others quickly echoed the sentiment, and soon, the air was thick with curses.

　　Luoxi, now the target of everyone’s scorn, turned livid. He stormed up to Ian and sneered, "Compared to him, I’m a saint! You don’t even know what he—"

　　Slap!

　　Luoxi’s words were cut short by a sharp blow.

　　Su Yi retracted his hand impassively. "Gag him and tie him up," he ordered coolly.

　　Jero, who had been seething with anger, immediately seized Luoxi.

　　Ferosa, finally snapping out of his daze, rushed forward. Everyone expected him to defend Luoxi again, but instead, he slapped Luoxi across the face.

　　"I never knew you were this kind of person," Ferosa spat. Then he leaned in and whispered something in Luoxi’s ear.

　　Luoxi’s face twisted with despair and resentment. He glared at Ferosa as if trying to bore holes into him with his eyes.

　　Su Yi addressed the crowd. "I know everyone is curious about what happened between Ian and Luoxi in the past. But what matters is that Ian was manipulated and nearly died because of him. The old Ian was unfortunate, but the current Ian is blessed. He has a family, loyal friends, and kind tribesmen. Let this be a lesson, never try to survive by trampling on others’ wounds. That’s the lowest, most despicable act."

　　The crowd erupted. "Judge Luoxi! Judge Luoxi!"

　　Facing their wrath, Luoxi was ultimately exiled from the tribe. Four orcs were tasked with escorting him out. To many, this punishment was as good as a death sentence, females rarely survived alone in the wild.

　　After Luoxi’s banishment, Jells secretly took Ian out of the valley. Su Yi had suggested that Ian needed to confront his nightmares himself.

　　Whether Ian ultimately killed Luoxi or not, Su Yi didn’t ask.

　　In the days that followed, the tribe prepared for the cold season. With the threat of beast hordes looming, they dug tunnels for shelter and set traps around the valley for defense.

　　Su Yi taught them how to craft weapons and set simple traps. Even if no beasts came, these defenses would serve as protection.

　　The wandering orc who had exposed Luoxi was allowed to settle nearby. After observing him, Su Yi concluded that while he was rough around the edges, he wasn’t truly evil.

　　Occasionally, females and children were permitted to leave the valley, but only within a safe perimeter. Even a spacious home could feel stifling after a while.

　　Once, a female accidentally wandered into a trapped area and was nearly injured, but the wandering orc rescued him. Grateful, his family often brought him meals afterward.

　　Meanwhile, Tang Yu’s belly had stopped growing so rapidly, but his appetite had only increased. Su Yi frequently brought him fresh fruits and vegetables, which Jells pretended not to notice.

　　In the final half-month of the snow season, the first beast horde attacked.

　　Tang Yu, fast asleep, was carried to Su Yi’s house by Jells. Since the horde wasn’t large, they didn’t need to retreat to the tunnels.

　　Su Yi, feeling lazy, didn’t join the fight. Instead, he settled Tang Yu in Eli’s room and busied himself in the kitchen with Sinoer, making snacks.

　　Craving meatballs, Su Yi picked out tender meat for Sinoer to mince. While they cooked, Tang Yu continued sleeping, and the children, woken by the noise outside, built a snowman, until the aroma of frying meatballs lured them into the kitchen.

　　Eli gazed at Su Yi with teary, sparkling eyes. Su Yi popped a meatball into his mouth. They had made several varieties, pure meat, shrimp, and mixed vegetables. Eli’s face lit up with delight.

　　Su Yi set out a small stool for Eli and Dino to enjoy their treats. "Be careful, they’re hot," he warned as he fished more meatballs from the oil.

　　"Ah! Spicy!" Eli suddenly yelped, hopping around. Su Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

　　Some meatballs had been spiced specially for Sinoer. Su Yi had set those aside, but Eli, ever curious, had ignored his own bowl to sneak one.

　　Watching his son with red-rimmed eyes and flushed lips, Su Yi wavered between scolding him and coddling him.

　　At dawn, Su Yi let Sinoer go outside to check on the battle. "Be careful," he said, handing him a bamboo tube of meatballs for later.

　　Sinoer kissed Su Yi’s forehead and left with his crossbow.

　　Tang Yu woke to the rich scent of broth under his nose. He gulped it down before realizing he wasn’t at home. "Why am I at your place?" he mumbled, rubbing his belly.

　　Su Yi handed him a fruit, which Tang Yu cradled but didn’t eat.

　　Su Yi looked at Hunter in surprise. What did Hunter mean by his words?

　　This sudden change left everyone feeling caught off guard.

　　Hunter and Jells were close, it was something that everyone knew. So, even if people had doubts about Ian, they didn’t dare voice them openly.

　　After all, they believed that even if they spoke up, Hunter wouldn’t actually do anything to Ian.

　　Now that Hunter had suddenly changed his attitude, everyone was left speculating, whispering among themselves.

　　“What’s going on?”

　　“I don’t know. What’s happening?”

　　“Did the leader discover something?”

　　The murmurs grew louder, and even Su Yi could hear them clearly.

　　Ferosa, hearing Hunter’s words, suddenly brightened. Though tears still streaked her face, she smiled and asked, “Really? Leader?”

　　Hunter looked at Ferosa, his expression serious, devoid of his usual gentleness.

　　Seeing Hunter nod, Ferosa finally lowered the bone knife. She happily grabbed Luoxi’s hand. “Luoxi, did you hear that? I told you, an orc like Ian would face retribution.”

　　Luoxi didn’t smile. He couldn’t smile in public. Dragged along by Ferosa, he frowned at Hunter. Clearly, he hadn’t expected Hunter to say such a thing.

　　Mino stared wide-eyed at Su Yi. “Su Yi, what’s going on with the leader?”

　　Su Yi didn’t answer. Instead, he pulled Mino away.

　　After spending time with Hunter, Su Yi knew what kind of person he was. Hunter appeared gentle, but he was firm in his decisions. Given his friendship with Jells, Su Yi didn’t believe Hunter would suddenly turn against Ian. There must be something Su Yi didn’t know.

　　Su Yi decided to go to Ian’s place to ask him directly.

　　Mino, seeing Su Yi silent, muttered to himself, “What’s going on? Isn’t Hunter Jells’ friend? Why is he suddenly treating Ian like this? Ian’s so pitiful. How could he side with Ferosa?”

　　When the two arrived at Ian’s house, they found several people already there, all familiar faces.

　　Dilson, seeing his partner, walked over with a silly grin. He took Mino's hand and said, “Why are you here?”

　　Mino looked at Dilson and the others, sensing something was off, but his mind couldn’t quite grasp what it was.

　　“What are you all doing here?” Mino asked curiously.

　　Dilson glanced at the others, then smiled and pulled Mino aside to explain.

　　Su Yi entered the room. Ian’s house wasn’t large, and with so many people inside, it felt stifling.

　　Jero was the first to speak, scratching his head awkwardly. “Uh, Su Yi, what brings you here?”

　　Su Yi glanced at him. “What are you all planning?”

　　Jero coughed, about to explain, when Ian spoke up. “Su Yi, they’re trying to help me. I know we should’ve told you, but we can’t always rely on you.”

　　Su Yi nodded. “And? You’re not going to tell us the plan?”

　　Ian sighed. “Jero, take him to see. He’ll understand.”

　　Jero quickly led Su Yi away, taking him to Old Taylor’s house. This was where they had all lived together before moving out. Now, it had a fence around it.

　　Jero didn’t dare speak along the way. He led Su Yi into the yard and to a hidden corner.

　　Jero lifted an old fur, and Su Yi stepped forward. When he saw what was hidden beneath, his eyes widened in shock.

　　Afterward, Su Yi returned home.

　　Feeling reassured, Su Yi relaxed.

　　Back home, he saw Sinoer helping little Eli learn to walk. When Eli saw Su Yi, he wobbled toward him.

　　Su Yi didn’t move, waiting for Eli to reach him before crouching down to hug him.

　　The soft and sweet Eli said, “Mother, I really want to go outside.” He pointed at the window with his chubby arm. Su Yi smiled, walked to the window, and closed it, then pulled the fur curtain shut. The curtain was Su Yi’s way of blocking the wind. Though the room was warm with the window closed, Su Yi worried Eli was too young to handle the cold, so he had added the curtain.

　　Eli, confined to the bedroom, was probably bored.

　　But without Su Yi’s permission, Eli could only roll around on the bed, playing by himself. Eli was Sinoer’s child, and after his transformation, many people worried he would inherit Sinoer’s unknown orc traits. But when Su Yi took Eli out, they saw that Eli was just like any other young orc, healthy and without any issues.

　　This discovery made many people realize that unknown orcs weren’t so different from ordinary orcs. Before Sinoer, no unknown orc had a partner or children. Now that Sinoer had set this precedent, some families with young females began interacting with single unknown orcs. Of course, the only single unknown orcs left were Jero, Dino, and Redra.

　　Redra’s house had been receiving visitors lately. A single orc with a young female had visited Redra multiple times, but after Redra said something, the orc stopped coming.

　　Three days later.

　　Su Yi left Dino to watch Eli and went out with Sinoer.

　　Sinoer, still bundled up, followed Su Yi as they trudged through the snow. In the past, Sinoer would have been hibernating by now. He feared the cold and would sleep through the harsh winter.

　　But now, with the house so warm and wearing so many layers of clothes, he didn’t feel cold at all.

　　They arrived early at the valley’s central square, where only a few people were chatting. When they saw Su Yi and Sinoer, they greeted them.

　　After waiting for a while, they saw Hunter leading a group over, with Ian among them.

　　Su Yi didn’t greet them but pulled Sinoer aside. Su Yi scanned the area but didn’t see Luoxi or Ferosa. Sinoer leaned down and whispered, “What are you looking for?”

　　Su Yi smiled. “Nothing.”

　　Su Yi had told Sinoer about Ian’s situation the night before, so Sinoer wasn’t surprised to see Ian brought out.

　　As more people gathered, Luoxi and Ferosa finally arrived.

　　When they appeared, Su Yi’s gaze locked onto them. His stare was quickly noticed by Luoxi, who looked back and gave a shy smile. Su Yi returned the smile, but his was filled with mockery.

　　Luoxi froze, his expression darkening.

　　Sinoer watched their interaction silently, standing behind Su Yi like a steadfast support.

　　Hunter, seeing that most people had arrived, pulled Ian to the front. Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on them. Ian, uncomfortable with the attention, shivered slightly. Hunter patted his back, seemingly encouraging him.

　　Ian lowered his gaze and suddenly spoke. “You must be wondering why I suddenly hit Luoxi?”

　　This opening stunned everyone. This wasn’t what they expected. Wasn’t Ian supposed to be on trial? Why did they sense something unusual?

　　Luoxi's face turned pale, he was furious and glared at Su Yi.

　　Su Yi smiled. Luoxi was indeed clever, already sensing something was off before it even began.

　　Ian seemed to struggle with how to share his painful past. Just as he mustered the courage, Ferosa suddenly rushed forward.

　　Ferosa moved quickly, catching everyone off guard. Before anyone could react, she slapped Ian across the face.

　　Ian who was fair-skinned, now bore a red mark on his cheek.

　　Hunter was furious.

　　He grabbed Ferosa’s wrist as she raised her hand again.

　　“What are you doing?!”

　　Hunter threw Ferosa to the ground.

　　Ferosa's eyes were red, he pointed at Ian. “This Ian is trying to bully Luoxi again. I was just getting revenge for Luoxi.”

　　Ferosa spoke with conviction, glaring at Ian as if he wanted to devour him.

　　Hunter frowned coldly. “Shut up. If you keep spouting nonsense, go home.”

　　Hunter, usually gentle and smiling, was truly angry. Ferosa was acting like a fool.

　　Ian, initially stunned, now looked at Luoxi with anger.

　　Ian didn’t care about Ferosa’s stupidity. What infuriated him was that Luoxi, the real villain, stood there as if nothing was wrong.

　　Chaos erupted.

　　Su Yi sighed and stepped forward. Ian wasn’t good with words, and facing someone as articulate as Ferosa and Luoxi, he wouldn’t stand a chance. Though Su Yi knew Ian wanted to handle this himself, the situation was too chaotic for Ian to manage.

　　When everyone saw Su Yi approach, they fell silent. Su Yi walked up to Ian, who looked embarrassed. He had told Su Yi he wanted to handle this himself, but now he couldn’t even control the situation.

　　Su Yi didn’t mind. He understood Ian’s feelings. Without saying anything, he stood before the crowd.

　　“Alright, I know many of you have issues with me and Ian because of what happened. I’ll take this opportunity to explain.” Su Yi’s voice rang out, and everyone turned to him, waiting for his explanation.

　　Ferosa, seeing Su Yi, stood up angrily. “Don’t believe him! Su Yi and Ian are in this together. Don’t trust him!”

　　Su Yi frowned, his expression darkening. “Your parents probably didn’t teach you not to interrupt when others are speaking.” Su Yi’s voice was calm, but those nearby saw the icy glare he directed at Ferosa.

　　Ferosa shrank back, feeling as if Su Yi’s gaze could kill.

　　With Ferosa silenced, Su Yi pointed at Luoxi. “Luoxi, come here. Don’t be afraid. Everyone’s watching. I won’t do anything to you in front of everyone, right?”

　　Hearing this, everyone turned to Luoxi. If he didn’t come forward, it would make him look guilty. He walked over reluctantly.

　　Once Luoxi was there, Su Yi continued. “I heard Luoxi was captured by unknown orcs many years ago?” Su Yi asked calmly, his eyes fixed on Luoxi. He used a questioning tone, prompting others to share the story.

　　Sure enough, a female chimed in. “Yes, Luoxi’s had a hard life. First, he was taken by unknown orcs, then by wandering orcs.” She looked at Luoxi with sympathy.

　　“Right. So, who can tell me who saved him?” Su Yi asked curiously, as if making small talk.

　　In criminal investigations, Su Yi was a veteran. He often used this method to train newcomers. By posing questions and letting others find the answers, the story became more convincing.

　　Hearing Su Yi’s question, everyone began to recall.

　　Luoxi, though clever, was only clever in small ways. When he returned, everyone had been curious and skeptical about how he managed it. Now, with Su Yi bringing it up again, they all looked at Luoxi, waiting for an explanation.

　　Su Yi remained silent, waiting to see what Luoxi would say.

　　Luoxi’s expression remained grim. He opened his mouth and said, “Someone saved me back then.”

　　“Who?” Before Su Yi could ask, others couldn’t help but inquire.

　　Yes, who? Luoxi’s answer had always been vague.

　　“A… a wandering orc,” Luoxi said, his voice trembling as he tried to stay calm.

        In his previous life, Yang Jiabo had long coveted this bike. When he found out Yan Ruofei had bought a new bike gears, he immediately pestered Yang Jianjun to buy it for him. At first, Yang Jianjun refused, but Yang Jiabo lied, saying he knew how to ride and that having a bike would allow him to commute to school on his own. He listed a bunch of benefits and used every trick in the book until Yang Jianjun finally bought it for him for 200 yuan.

　　“Alright, since you’ve said that, I won’t question you further. I’ve known your temperament since childhood, and you’re not the type to sweet-talk.” Zhang Fangyuan said, “After my parents passed away, my fourth uncle treated me like his own son. Now that Xiaomao’s matter is at hand, I must pay extra attention.”

Chapter 108

　　Previously, they had always lived in the countryside, where having six or seven servants was considered normal for ordinary families. They were used to doing everything themselves, so having two servants, Huangqi and Gancao, to help with household chores was already very convenient.

The Sweet little Fulang Chapter 130 Part 2

　　As their lives improved, even breakfast became more lavish. Early in the morning, Lu Gu steamed a large bowl of egg custard, drizzling it with sesame oil for a rich aroma. He divided it into bowls, giving Ji Qiuyue a slightly larger portion.

　　In the past, they would eat breakfast squatting or standing in the yard, but now they mostly sat at the table.

　　He also heated up some white steamed buns and chopped half a pickled radish into small pieces. Each family member held a bun stuffed with pickled radish in their left hand and used a spoon to eat the egg custard with their right.

　　In about ten days, when the dog days of summer arrived, the hens and ducks would stop laying eggs regularly. However, with so many chickens at home, they would still collect a few eggs each day.

[狗日子 (gǒu rì zi): Lit. Dog days; Fig. the hottest and most uncomfortable days of summer]

　　Since Lu Gu’s hen laid its first egg in early spring, three months had passed. From selling eggs and duck eggs alone, he had saved over one tael of silver, earning at least three hundred coins a month.

　　While this might not seem like much, for a rural fulang without other sources of income, it was a significant sum. If the village men knew, many would envy him.

　　After seeing the doctor last time, Lu Gu had remembered Shen Xuanqing’s advice and made sure to eat one egg every day.

　　Since Ji Qiuyue became pregnant, she hadn’t raised any chickens or ducks herself. The old hens and ducks belonged to Wei Lanxiang, so the eggs Ji Qiuyue ate were provided by her mother-in-law. She was never deprived.

　　Sometimes, when Lu Gu cooked, he felt he had plenty of eggs and didn’t mind sharing. When boiling eggs, he wouldn’t take any from Wei Lanxiang’s basket.

　　Today, with Shen Xuanqing at home, they had eaten boiled eggs for several days in a row. Steaming egg custard was a nice change.

　　After breakfast, Wei Lanxiang who was full of enthusiasm, rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen to show off her skills by braising the boar meat.

　　Lu Gu and Shen Yan shouldered their bamboo baskets and went to gather grass. Ji Qiuyue, bored at home, joined them for a stroll by the river behind the house.

　　Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing also had their hands full. They went to the new house to collect the eggs laid by the ducks overnight, let the chickens out into the coop, drove the ducks to the water, and fed the cows and sheep. They also had to clean up the rabbit, cow, and sheep droppings.

　　The new house had a vegetable garden that needed watering and weeding. The dry fields and paddy fields also required attention to prevent the weeds from choking the crops.

　　Their busy morning only paused during the hottest part of the day.

　　The cold pig ears, dressed with spicy oil and sprinkled with green onions, were crisp and flavorful. The heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys were sliced and served cold, accompanied by a plate of peanuts and a plate of cucumber salad. The men clinked their wine cups and drank deeply, feeling utterly satisfied.

　　Today, Lu Gu also got half a cup of wine. He took a small sip, the strong flavor making him hiss. His face quickly turned red, like the finest rouge. He picked up his chopsticks and focused on the meat and vegetables, not daring to touch the wine again.

　　No matter how busy or tired they were, good food and drink made everything better, easing their fatigue.

　　Neither Shen Xuanqing nor Shen Yaoqing were heavy drinkers. At home, they only drank a little to satisfy their cravings.

　　After resting through the midday heat, the afternoon chores at the new house were light, just feeding the rabbits, cows, and sheep. The weeding could wait. Because of the heat, only Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing went out to deliver meat to their maternal uncle’s family.

　　Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang went to the new house to feed the rabbits and let the ducks and calves out to graze. Da Hui and the other dogs guarded the house, while Guaizi, the most carefree of the dogs, followed Lu Gu everywhere.

　　Having a dog around was reassuring. Sometimes, when Lu Gu went out alone to gather grass for the rabbits, he felt safe with Guaizi nearby, a habit from his time in the mountains.

　　“Oh no, there’s blood!” Wei Lanxiang exclaimed as she bent down to feed the rabbits, noticing one with blood on it.

　　Lu Gu hurried over with his basket. This hutch housed two young male rabbits, and one had a bitten ear. He quickly set down the basket, and together with Wei Lanxiang, they separated the rabbits. With plenty of hutches available, each rabbit could have its own space.

　　Rabbits could fight fiercely, and these were meant to bring in money. They couldn’t afford to lose any.

　　“Mother, should I dig up some hemostasis herbs, mash them, and apply them to the wound?” Lu Gu asked, distressed by the bleeding ear.

　　“That’s a good idea,” Wei Lanxiang agreed.

　　Lu Gu quickly dug up some hemostasis herbs by the river, mashed them into a paste, and applied it to the rabbit’s ear. Wei Lanxiang cut a strip of cloth and helped bandage it.

　　The sun was hidden behind clouds, allowing them to open their eyes fully. But soon, the sky darkened, and clouds rolled in, bringing a change in the wind.

　　They were in the chicken coop collecting eggs when they noticed the weather shifting. Hurriedly, they herded the chickens back into the coop and grabbed the egg basket, rushing to the front of the house.

　　Raindrops soon pattered on the roof and the ground, quickly turning into a downpour. The dry earth soaked up the water, and streams formed.

　　“Oh dear, if we’d known it would rain, they wouldn’t have needed to water the vegetable garden this morning,” Wei Lanxiang said, watching the rain.

　　She was referring to Shen Xuanqing and Shen Yaoqing. Lu Gu asked, “I wonder if they’ve reached Uncle’s house yet.”

　　“They probably haven’t,” Wei Lanxiang replied with a smile. “They’re young men. A little rain won’t hurt them. They’ll find somewhere to take shelter.”

　　She glanced at the dark sky and added, “This rain won’t last long. It’ll pass soon.”

　　Summer rains came and went quickly.

　　The earthy scent of rain mixed with the heat filled the air, reaching their noses.

　　There were no raincoats or sewing baskets at the new house, so Lu Gu and Wei Lanxiang sat under the eaves, watching the rain. Guaizi and the other dogs also took shelter, lying or standing around. Guaizi, in particular, tilted his head as if imitating the humans watching the rain, though he was unclear what he saw. He even let out a couple of whines.

　　Wei Jing looked at Yang Jiabo, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead, and didn’t know what to say. "You just had to mess around, and now you’re paying for it, huh?"

　　"No, no, messing around was still fun," Yang Jiabo stubbornly insisted.

Rebirth with the Beast Chapter 110

Chapter 110

　　Ferosa rushed toward the passage but was stopped by the orc on guard duty.

　　“Why can Ian go out, but I can’t?” Ferosa demanded, glaring at the orc, who looked uneasy.

　　Hunter, who had been keeping an eye on the situation, suddenly descended from the lookout post and approached the orc. “No females are allowed to leave without permission. This is a critical time,” Hunter said, though his words were directed at the orc, Ferosa knew they were meant for her.

　　Ferosa, though resentful of Ian, didn’t dare defy Hunter’s orders. She reluctantly turned and left.

　　After watching the female leave, Hunter strode into the passage.

　　Su Yi and Sinoer each found cover and prepared their weapons. Su Yi was skilled with weapons, but this was Sinoer’s first time using one. Worried about Sinoer, Su Yi stayed close. Sinoer held a crossbow, which Su Yi had taught him to use. Sinoer had practiced his aim in his spare time, but Su Yi had never asked how accurate he was, so he was unsure.

　　However, Sinoer was much calmer than Su Yi. Although Su Yi had forbidden him from transforming, which greatly reduced his combat ability, Sinoer was confident he could handle the beasts alone. After all, he had survived many injuries in the past without transforming or weapons.

　　Despite his calm demeanor, Sinoer felt a sweet warmth in his heart whenever Su Yi glanced at him with concern.

　　The area they were in had few beasts, with only a few passing by. Just as Su Yi was about to draw his bow to shoot a spiked dragon, he heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the air, followed by the cry of a beast.

　　The arrow was from Sinoer.

　　Su Yi was stunned for a moment before walking over to the spiked dragon. The arrow had pierced its skull through the eye. As Su Yi approached to inspect the kill, he felt a gust of wind. He quickly drew his dagger, but before he could turn, someone grabbed him by the waist.

　　“Don’t worry, I’ll protect you,” Sinoer said, holding Su Yi with one arm and punching the beast’s head with the other.

　　Sinoer and Hunter were similar, both exceptionally handsome and stronger than the average orc. While good looks often made orcs seem unreliable, Sinoer and Hunter were the opposite.

　　Sinoer’s punch was strong enough to shatter stone. A large beast like spiked dragon was sent flying.

　　As the beast was knocked back, Sinoer released Su Yi and fired an arrow from his crossbow, finishing it off.

　　In just a short time, Sinoer had taken down two spiked dragons, one large and one small.

　　Su Yi was delighted. He dragged the smaller one over. “Let’s process these first, then go hunt some bigger ones.”

　　Sinoer smiled, his light-colored eyes reflecting Su Yi’s joy.

　　Their home already had plenty of food, but the memory of past hunger drove them to hunt more.

　　They dragged the spiked dragons to the river, which ran through the valley.

　　The river was frozen, so they had to break the ice to access the water.

　　While processing the spiked dragons, a few large red-eyed beasts approached. Su Yi let Sinoer handle them, as hunting was an orc’s instinct.

　　As Su Yi worked, he glanced over at Sinoer hunting.

　　Then he noticed someone moving in the distance. He was about to go investigate when he recognized the figure.

　　It was Ian, holding a bone dagger and chasing a silver moon beast.

　　Ian leaped over a ditch, grabbed a vine, and swung himself in front of the beast. His movements were wild, contrasting with his delicate features, and quickly drew attention.

　　Su Yi set down his spiked dragon and watched curiously.

　　It was his first time seeing someone hunt a silver moon beast which was known for its agility and ferocity. Even orcs found them difficult to catch. Su Yi was ready with his bow, prepared to assist if needed.

　　Not far behind Ian was a tall orc, looking worried. If Ian hadn’t insisted on handling it alone, the orc would have stepped in.

　　By now, half the beast horde had been killed, with some escaping and others still fighting.

　　Ian, who had been bundled up, removed his layers due to the heat. Now, he wore only a long shirt.

　　He held his dagger, his gaze fixed on the silver moon beast, which was panting heavily after the chase.

　　Suddenly, someone slipped on the icy ground, startling the beast.

　　The silver moon beast’s fur bristled, and it lunged at Ian. Ian, smaller than most orcs, leaned back as the beast pounced. Just as he was about to fall, he pushed off the ground and slashed upward with his dagger. The beast’s belly was sliced open, and blood sprayed over Ian’s face.

　　Ian shook it off and dodged the falling beast.

　　The other orcs were stunned by Ian’s skill.

　　“Ian, you’re amazing!” Jero, who had followed Ian out, exclaimed.

　　Ian turned to Jero, his blood-streaked face breaking into a radiant smile.

　　It was the first time he had been so happy in a long time.

　　The other orcs also praised Ian, but the tall orc who had followed him stayed back, watching from a distance.

　　Hunter, still circling above, felt a surge of pride seeing Ian’s success.

　　After the hunt, everyone returned to the valley.

　　News of Ian’s solo kill spread quickly.

　　Even those who had previously clashed with Ian came to his home to celebrate.

　　To mark the successful hunt, Hunter organized a simple bonfire feast in the square. Everyone brought food to share.

　　Su Yi hadn’t planned to attend, but Eli, who had just woken up, seemed eager to join.

　　Seeing Eli’s chubby and fair face, Su Yi decided to show him off.

　　However, as soon as they stepped outside, Eli shivered from the cold. Su Yi bundled him up in layers before heading to the square.

　　The bonfire was already blazing, and Eli soon shed his thick furs. The crowd noticed Eli’s transformation and were drawn to his adorable appearance.

　　Eli, still unsteady on his feet, was carried by Su Yi. Later, Mino took over.

　　Su Yi, worried about Sinoer catching a cold, led him closer to the fire. There, they saw Tang Yu talking to a child.

　　Su Yi looked around but didn’t see Jells. “Where’s Jells? How dare he leave you alone?”

　　Tang Yu gestured toward a group, where Jells was with Ian, Jero, and Dilson.

　　“Why aren’t you over there?” Su Yi asked.

　　Tang Yu smirked. “They’re plotting something. Said it’s not for pregnant female's ears.”

　　Su Yi glanced at the group and decided to join them.

　　Jero made room for Su Yi, who sat down without hesitation.

　　“I know what you’re planning. I said I’d handle it, but Eli’s transformation kept me busy,” Su Yi said calmly.

　　Ian, his face glowing in the firelight, shook his head. “Su Yi, I know you’re smart and capable, but I don’t want to rely on you for everything. This is between me and him. I want to settle it myself.”

　　Ian, who had been numb before, now exuded confidence. Su Yi couldn’t help but admire him.

　　Su Yi wanted to argue that Ian’s boldness might cause trouble, but he knew they had already made up their minds.

　　The next day, the valley was in an uproar.

　　Su Yi’s first instinct was to rush to Ian’s house, but on the way, Mino pulled him toward the square.

　　“Su Yi, Ferosa confessed to Reg, but he rejected hin. Now he’s threatening to kill himself with a bone knife,” Mino said urgently.

　　Su Yi, relieved it wasn’t someone he knew, tried to leave, but Mino dragged him forward.

　　“Wait, there’s more. Do you know why Reg rejected him?”

　　“He must have someone else in mind,” Su Yi said without thinking.

　　Mino slapped Su Yi’s shoulder. “Exactly! But his someone else is… Ian!”

　　Su Yi felt dizzy. “What? Who?”

　　“Ian,” Mino repeated.

　　Su Yi scratched his head and rushed to the square.

　　The square was crowded. Su Yi and Mino pushed their way through to find Ferosa in tears, glaring at an orc, the tall orc who had followed Ian.

　　Ferosa cried, “I’m a female! How could you reject me for an orc, and an unknown orc at that?”

　　This was the ultimate humiliation for Ferosa. If Reg had simply said he didn’t like him, he could have accepted it. But to choose an orc over him?

　　Ferosa felt deeply insulted.

　　He had warned Luoxi that Ian was trouble, but now Ian was stealing orcs?

　　As Su Yi approached, Ferosa screamed, “It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, an orc who dares act so shamelessly. An orc seducing another orc…”

　　Su Yi frowned, then noticed Luoxi standing nearby, watching him expressionlessly.

　　Su Yi smiled faintly at Luoxi, who seemed surprised.

　　“Ferosa, you must be mistaken. Ian is a good person. You can’t judge him based on that incident,” Luoxi said, glancing at Su Yi.

　　Su Yi sighed. He had let Luoxi off before, but now Luoxi was bringing up old grievances.

　　Just as Su Yi was about to confront him, Hunter’s voice rang out.

　　“After recent events, many have grievances against Ian. As an orc, he shouldn’t have struck a female, regardless of the reason. With today’s incident, I believe there’s a problem with this unknown orc. In three days, we’ll hold a public trial here to judge his actions.”

　　Hunter spoke calmly as he walked to the center of the crowd.
