Chapter 220: Birthing the Fifth Litter
"Qingyu, I'm about to give birth!" He Qianqian sat on a wooden stool and called softly.
Everyone around who heard her shout was startled:
It seems like the birth is seven or eight days earlier than the scheduled date. How come she is going to give birth now?
Qingyu had rehearsed this moment countless times.
He was the first to react, picking up the female and carrying her to the largest room on the second floor.
Except for Ye Qianmu who was sleeping and not around, the five beast husbands had all arrived and surrounded her.
Be organized and work together to prepare the delivery room.
They all have experience in delivering babies and caring for mothers. They make the bed, add a few layers of diaper pads, and then lay soft cushions to make it clean and comfortable.
He Qianqian had already taken the pills for normal delivery and pain-free delivery. Apart from some pulling contractions, she didn't feel anything else.
"Qianqian, don't be afraid. I'll deliver the baby."
Lingye volunteered, washed his hands with soap, and sat beside her to comfort her.
Jianze suggested: "Actually, Ye Qianmu has the most experience. Should we call him?"
Li Yan asked back: "Why is he the most experienced? I am the most experienced.
Otherwise, just stop shouting and let him have a good rest.
Qian Mu has a special physique. If he doesn't fully hibernate according to his nature, he will be listless for the whole year, which will affect the functioning of his abilities."
Qingyu reminded him: "Qianqian lays eggs, so Ye Qianmu has more experience."
Li Yan was embarrassed, his heart and mind were in a mess.
How could he forget such an important thing? Ye Qianmu was indeed experienced.
Qingyu said: "The eggs will need to incubate for 26 days before they hatch, which is similar to a snake baby.
I have also prepared the hatching cabin, which is right next to the hot spring where Ye Qianmu is hibernating."

The single beasts Xiaobin, Xiaobai, Xiao Bo and Xiao Zhong stood motionless at the stairs on the first floor, listening to the noise above.
Jian Yu, who was downstairs, was also frightened when he heard the conversation upstairs.
Is there no one with experience in delivering babies? That's too unreliable.
If only he had brought a few witch doctors who had delivered snowy owl eggs before.
The forty or so cubs had just heard their mother's shouts and saw the adults' hurried looks;
They instinctively sensed the emotional changes of the father and mother, as if something big had happened that was related to their mother.
"What's wrong with mother?" Li Qing asked quietly.
The cubs huddled together, staring with their eyes wide open and their ears perked up, fully alert to their surroundings.
It has never been so quiet.
Jian Yu, who was feeling annoyed, saw that the cubs seemed to be frightened, so he quickly rubbed his face and smiled to comfort them:
"My dears, your mother is giving birth to brothers and sisters for you.
Don't be afraid, the baby will be born soon."
The first litter of chicks were older and understood quickly, then they nodded, pecking at rice.
The other cubs looked at their older brothers and sisters and nodded, and they nodded too.
But he was still listening nervously to the noise upstairs.
Among He Qianqian's several litters of cubs, the talents of the first litter are generally low, the talents of Lingye's cubs are medium, and the talents of the snake cubs and tiger and leopard cubs are generally high.
However, the cubs with higher talents are not precocious, and the cubs of the first litter with lower talents are smarter and more alert than other kittens of the same age, which is also within the normal range of growth and development.
Normal development, healthy growth of physical and intellectual abilities in a harmonious way, this is what He Qianqian hopes to see most.
As the saying goes, excessive wisdom will lead to harm.
The cubs' advanced talents are reserved for awakening and training after they reach adulthood.
The precocity of childhood will lead to the loss of childish innocence and childish fun.
Therefore, the younger cubs will receive help and care from their older brothers and sisters during their ignorant childhood.
They will respect their older brothers and sisters like Li Qing and He Zhenzhen. When they are ignorant and at a loss, they are used to looking for answers and comfort from their older brothers and sisters.
He Qianqian upstairs also knew not to scare the cub.
She didn't say a word during the entire contraction, and occasionally spoke a few words in a calm tone.
Finally, that familiar feeling of excretion came.
Lingye was still the midwife.
Among the six beast husbands, except for Ye Qianmu who is as steady as an old dog, Lingye is the most calm.
The others all trusted him very much.
Qingyu had already prepared the crib, covered it with thick straw, and placed the crib as soon as the baby was born.
"Ding - Congratulations to the host, you are about to give birth to your fifth litter of cubs."
The crisp sound of preserved eggs echoed in He Qianqian's ears.
She immediately adjusted her breathing and tried harder.
Lingye concentrated his attention, and soon, his hands were firmly holding the first snowy owl egg.
"The host gave birth to the 44th offspring, male, Snow Owl Orc, with a talent of the sixth level, reward: 2000 points, the system gives: various varieties of fresh grapes, a total of 5 tons. "
"Congratulations to the host for giving birth to Qingyu's first son. The system specially presents a bonus reward: a complete set of advanced dyeing technology and equipment."
He Qianqian asked hurriedly: "Pidan, when the bird eggs are fertilized, the gender has already been determined, right?"
"Yes, host. Unlike snakes, the gender of bird eggs is determined the moment they are formed."
"Then why did I give birth several days prematurely?"
"On the one hand, it's oviparous, so it should have come earlier. There's another reason I forgot to tell the host.
As the system upgrades, your gestation period will be shortened accordingly, and the shortening time varies for different beasts.
"So that's how it is? Then the snowy owl cub should be considered full-term and develop normally, right?"
"Of course it is full term, host, you have taken many fertility pills before."
He Qianqian nodded, finally feeling relieved.
The thought of the big, sweet grapes made her greedy again. She hadn't been able to eat grapes for several years.
The system is really a language translator.
Lingye lowered his head and took a few careful looks, then carefully placed the eggs into the crib.
Several people nearby came over and looked at him with concern.
It was an oval egg, about half the size of a palm. The egg shell was much harder than snake eggs. A strong heartbeat could be detected, but nothing else could be seen.
Qingyu was overjoyed and hurriedly took a towel to wipe the sweat off his female.
"Qianqian, I can sense him. He is a male cub and very healthy."
"Do you know his gender?"
"Yeah, I just know it." Qing Yu's handsome face was full of joy.
After He Qianqian had her first egg, everything went smoother than ever before.
"The host gave birth to the 45th offspring, female, Snow Owl Orc (Gene mutation - Barn Owl (Monkey-faced Eagle)), talent level 1000 primary, reward: 2 points, system gift: tons of rapeseed seeds. "
"Congratulations to the host for giving birth to Qingyu's eldest daughter. The system specially presents a bonus reward: a box of various colored gold and colored threads, and a complete set of knitting and embroidery techniques and tools."
When He Qianqian heard that another type of owl had been born, she quickly asked:
"Pidan, isn't this another genetic match? Is it true that Qingyu and I can't give birth to a golden cat?"
Pi Dan chuckled:
"Host, you don't want to hatch a kitten from the snowy owl egg, do you?"
He Qianqian thought about it and said, "Then I understand."
"The host gave birth to the 46th offspring, male, Snow Owl Orc (gene mutation - Eagle Owl), talent level 1600 intermediate, reward: 5 points, system gift: tons of fresh cherry fruit. "
