Chapter 202

Chapter 202 “We do.” Theon and Erik awkwardly changed their tune and reached out to take Nyx’s hands.

But first, they needed to prepare for a safe sex, so they took some medicine out of their Space Button and swallowed it. After all, no matter how low the chances of pregnancy were, they wouldn’t take any risks.

Nyx curiously picked up the medicine box and read the label. Once she understood its purpose, her eyes widened in confusion.

“You don’t want their own baby?”

These past few months on Earth, it had just been the three of them. There had been plenty of opportunities for her to conceive a lion or a little gray wolf. But once they returned to the Empire, they wouldn’t get another chance like this.

“Chubby is our baby,” Erik said seriously.

No matter who Chubby’s biological father was, it was Nyx’s child, and that meant it was their child too.

Their desire for a lion or a small gray wolf was present, but not to an intense degree.

“Your health comes first,” they said. Even though female Beastmen had a much easier time giving birth compared to Earth’s human women, back–to–back pregnancies still had some impact on the mother’s body.

Nyx patted her own stomach. “I’m very healthy. I want a lion and a little gray wolf.”

She had no intention of stopping at just Chubby. She was too greedy–little lions, little wolves, little tigers, little leopards, little fish, little snakes... she wanted them all.

The Divine Tree had told her that she was its perfect creation.

It seemed that, aside from her extraordinary mental power, she was also especially suited for bearing children as many as possible. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant with Chubby so quickly.

Theon and Erik were utterly defenseless against her teasing words, their faces flushed bright red.

The vibe grew increasingly heated, and the air filled with a slow, smoldering tension.

Theon and Erik leaned in to kiss Nyx, but suddenly, there was a loud knock at the door.

The three of them were startled and turned to look at the entrance in unison.

A snow–white Chubby rolled in, tumbling all the way to the bedside.

The room fell into silence.

Nyx quickly put on her clothes, scooped Chubby up from the floor, and wiped the nonexistent dust off its eggshell. “Why are you awake?”

Chubby didn’t seem particularly energetic. It nestled in her arms, wriggled a little, and soon fell still.

It must have woken up in the middle of sleep, realized it wasn’t in its mother’s embrace, and rushed over to find her.

Now that it was back in her arms, it peacefully resumed its slumber.

Chubby was comfortable. The two males, however, were far from comfortable.

Nyx looked at them apologetically. She wanted to help them out but felt too embarrassed with the child present.

“Next time,” she promised vaguely. “Let’s save it up for later. Next time, you can both join.”

1/3 A Chapter 202 As for when “next time” would be, that was an open question–Chubby was an energetic and extremely clingy little one.

Not only had the males‘ plans been completely ruined, but they had also lost the prime spot by Nyx’s side. Unable to sleep all night, they ended up with dark circles under their eyes.

Meanwhile, the culprit, Chubby, monopolized Nyx’s warm and soft embrace, slept soundly, and woke up brimming with energy, bouncing around nonstop.

It was too much for Theon and Erik to bear, as their thoughts of having a lion or a little gray wolf of their own were nearly extinguished.

They thought, ‘If one cub is already this troublesome, what will happen if there are two more? Our home would be in complete chaos.

“Nyx, you don’t need to raise Chubby so delicately,” Theon advised, suggesting she ease up a little.

Beastmen were naturally strong, and their cubs weren’t as fragile as Earth’s babies. In the Beastmen Empire, there had never been a cub as pampered as Chubby.

Hearing this, Nyx suddenly recalled the panda cub that had once wandered into the Marshal’s estate. It had indeed been raised roughly–yet it was perfectly healthy.

Nyx found herself torn. While she didn’t think she was overly spoiling Chubby, raising it in an environment vastly different from other Beastmen cubs might not be ideal.

It would be disastrous for her if Chubby turned into a fragile mama’s boy.

In Beastmen society, males were the ones primarily responsible for child–rearing. She thought she really should let Chubby spend more time with its fathers.

Completely oblivious to its impending fate, the round little Chubby happily rolled around on the floor.

The bath time came. It waited for Nyx to clean its eggshell, only to be greeted by Theon instead. Immediately, it began thrashing and rolling around in protest.

It was just an unhatched egg, yet its temper was bad. Though it couldn’t speak, it was incredibly skilled at expressing its needs.

To stop herself from giving in, Nyx hid in the distance, refusing to appear.

Theon remained patient. He only started washing Chubby once it had exhausted itself from throwing a tantrum. With practiced hands, he cleaned it thoroughly, applied nutrients, let them absorb, and then wrapped it in warm fabric.

Since Chubby disliked the incubation pod, Erik built a baby stroller for it–safe, sturdy, and even capable of being pushed around by Chubby itself.

Chubby found the stroller somewhat acceptable. It still preferred being in Nyx’s arms, but if Nyx wasn’t holding it, playing with the stroller wasn’t a bad alternative.

The same went for bath time. After a few tries, it got used to it.

It was happiest when Nyx bathed it, but if Theon did it, it could tolerate that too.

The males also took over storytelling and early education from Nyx.

Unlike Nyx’s fairy tales, their lessons were much more intense, covering a wide range of knowledge–including military strategy and combat techniques.

Listening from the side, Nyx was stunned. “Chubby is still so young. Can it even understand any of this?”

Chapter 202 “Probably not? Then admitted, trying to recall any memories from before he hatched but coming up bark.

However, Beaumen were accustomed to training their kids early. They couldn’t let Chubby fell behind.

Surprisingly. Chubby behaved well, sitting quietly as if genuinely absorbing all the knowledge.

Seeing how well it was getting along with its fathers, Nyx felt reassured. Her hands–off plan was a success.

Her mates were indeed excellent and responsible fathers–proficient in parenting and meticulous in caring for Chubby With more free time on her hands, Nyx could finally pay attention to the outside world, The scorching heat had lasted all summer, and even after autumn arrived, the temperature showed no sign of dropping However, as autumn set in, rain finally began to fall in various regions, and with it, the tension in everyone’s hearts eased. “It seems like nothing major happened. We went through all that preparation and stress for nothing” Archie sighed. “So Erik was just messing with us, huh?”

Since it had started raining, it meant everything was returning to normal.

Archie continued, “I thought it was going to be some kind of disaster.Erik really took this joke way too far?

Their friends also felt deceived, but since there wasn’t any real loss, and they had all gotten stronger during this time, it wasn’t so bad after all.

“It’s been a while since we saw Dear Sister. She should be about six months pregnant now, right? Should we go visit her?”

suggested Archie.

They made a special trip to a maternity store, buying a bunch of gifts and receiving some curious glances from the staff. “The air conditioning is set so low today. It’s kind of chilly,” a store clerk muttered, sneezing and sniffing.

As soon as she said that, many people turned to her in shock.

“It’s scorching hot outside, and you’re feeling cold?”

“Are you serious?”

“Are you coming down with something? You should put on a jacket.”

Amid the skeptical voices, the store clerk suddenly swayed violently as if she were about to collapse.
