Chapter 220
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 220 After dropping this bombshellâlike post, Nyx shut off her Intelligent Brain and peeked out of the bedroom to greet Emperor and Queen.
âGo, go back and rest!â Queen waved her hands frantically, unable to suppress the smile on her face. She was no longer in a hurry to rush Nyx to give birth to a little tiger.
With Nyxâs extraordinary physique, she believed the little tiger would arrive sooner or laterâthere was no need to push too hard.
Taking good care of their âbig baby,â Nyx, was the top priority for her now.
Emperor decisively granted Aurelius a sixâmonth leave so he could stay home and attend to his matron Nyx.
Compared to national affairs, taking care of Nyx was undoubtedly more important.
The storage room at home was packed with various supplements.
Theon tried his best to make these foods more palatable so that Nyx would eat more.
Zayne specially formulated a new nutritional supplement. âNyx, take this first.â
Nyx, whose stomach had just flattened, was soon stuffed full again. She seriously suspected that if this continued for two months, she would end up chubbier than the newborn.
âIsnât that a good thing?â Xivar came to visit, envious, and instructed her own mates to take notes.
Not all males were as considerate as Nyxâs mates, who took meticulous care of both the matron and the newborn. Compared to them, her own mates had a long way to go.
âHave you picked out names for the little ones?â Xivar asked while holding the two eggs. âTheyâre so heavy. Was Chubby this heavy too? No wonder heâs called Chubby.â
Nyx also picked up the two eggs and weighed them in her hands.
They were indeed as heavy as Chubby had been.
Thinking of Theon and Erikâs disappointing naming skills, she fell silent for a moment. âLetâs go with Sky and Ash. Or maybe Puppy and Floppy.â
Xivar was speechless, thinking, âSure, nicknames could be casual, but calling them Puppy and Floppy is too much.
The two eggs looked almost identicalâthere was no drew lots and made markings.
The one with the yellow flower sticker was Sky, and the to tell which one was older or which would hatch firstâso Nyx with the blue flower sticker was Ash.
The two eggs remained still as she handled them, seemingly unbothered by their haphazardly chosen names.
Nyx leaned down and gave each of them a kiss. At that, the eggs wobbled slightly, as if they were happy.
Xivar watched with envy. âTheyâre so wellâbehaved.â
âOh, look,â she said, opening her Intelligent Brain to show Nyx the chaos unfolding on StarNet.
In just half a day, the onlookers had gone through waves of sorrow and joy, ups and downsâpractically to the point of hysteria.
[So... when Chubby mentioned his little brother, he meant a biological brother?]
1/4 19:13 Fri, 28 Feb Chapter 220 [Oh my!]
[Have they all gone mad?]
[Why are there two eggs?]
[Are both of them Lord Nyxâs children?]
[Twins?]
[Is this real?]
[Unbelievable!]
The sheer absurdity of the situation made it all the more convincing.
After all, even if someone were making up a story, no one would dare come up with something this ridiculous. People simply didnât think their imagination could be this wild.
Besides, Nyx had never lied or deceived anyone, and there was no need for her to use such means to attract attention.
Soon, the royal family also issued an announcement, congratulating Nyx on safely giving birth to her offspring once again.
The entire StarNet was filled with messages of congratulations.
[Confirmed!]
[Wah... I thought something bad had happened to Lord Nyx, but it turned out to be such great news!]
[We were kept in the dark for so long!]
[Well, not exactly... Chubby had actually given us the right answer all along...]
[NO WAY!]
[Chubby even bought two gifts, so that means there are two little brothers.]
[Who would have believed that?]
In their eyes, such incredible reproductive ability was practically a divine blessing.
Out of nowhere, Nyx was struck by a strange sensation.
It felt as if countless voices were praying to her, asking for her blessing to help them successfully conceive.
With those prayers, an unprecedented power surged through her, making even her soul feel more solid, heavier, more substantial. It was the power of faith.
Nyxâs eyes widened. She thought, âWhy could I sense the power of faith? Am I really going to turn into some kind of fertility goddess?â
Panicked, Nyx hurriedly checked her arms and legs. Seeing no changes, she let out a long sigh of relief.
She called out to the Divine Tree in her heart, asking what was going on.
The Divine Treeâs voice was gentle. âYou are my child, born of a demigodâs body, so naturally, you are more attuned to the power of faith. Nyx, do you want to become a god?â
Nyx froze, and then pursed her lips.
9/1 FCD 4/%
Chapter 220 She didnât want to become a god, as she thought gods were too lonely. To stand alone for billions of years, like the Divine Tree, she couldnât imagine how she would endure such an existence.
But she was the Divine Treeâs creation, so she thought at least she should stay by its side.
+5 The Divine Tree saw through her thoughts and chuckled, âEven if you donât become a god, you can always stay with me. My mark will remain with you forever, until the day I fade away.â
âThe power of faith isnât only for becoming a god, the Divine Tree added cryptically. âWhen youâve gathered enough, youâll understand its true purpose.â
Judging by its tone, it doesnât seem like a bad thing, thus thinking, Nyx relaxed for now.
She tried channeling a small portion of her newfound power to bless her followers, though she wasnât sure if it would have any effect.
A wave of exhaustion washed over her, and Nyx lay back down, closing her eyes. As she drifted into sleep, the two quiet eggs beside her suddenly stirred.
Silently, they edged closer to their mother, pressing tightly against her.
Chubby, who had witnessed everything, widened his little eyes in surprise, nearly letting out an excited squeal.
The little python twisted himself into a spiral of excitement and slithered outside to find his father and share the good news.
Half a minute later, everyone in the house tiptoed into Nyxâs bedroom, only to see a heartwarming sceneâNyx cuddling her young cub.
Chubby quickly crawled over, curling up in Nyxâs embrace, pressing himself against both her and his little brothers.
The blankets were so warm. All the gloom and sadness from the past days vanished in an instant. Chubby felt utterly happy.
âHurry up and grow some fur,â he whispered, urging his two little brothers.
But, just like Chubby, Sky, and Ash inherited the same patience and showed no signs of hatching. Even after more than five months, the eggs remained still.
Having experienced this before with Chubby, Nyx wasnât particularly anxious.
Although Sky and Ash werenât very active, all their vital signs remained stable. Most likely, just like Chubby, they needed more time in the egg to absorb nutrients.
âMom, when will my little brothers come out?â Chubby was growing impatient.
Even Xivarâs cub had already hatchedâit was an adorable little brown bear who had visited Nyxâs house a few times, hugging things clumsily.
Chubby thought the little brown bear was adorable, but he still wanted his own little brother more.
Every day, he hovered around Sky and Ash, helping bathe them, applying nutrient serums, and even sharing what he learned in his studies.
Xivar watched Chubby being so responsible, and then looked at her own silly little cub who only cared about eating and drinkingâthe contrast was brutal.
âCan I trade cubs with you?â She clung to Nyxâs leg, jokingly pleading, âGive me Chubby, please! Or bless me with another baby, one as smart as Chubby,â
Xivar clasped her hands together. âYouâre powerfulâplease, make it happen!â
3/4 Fri, 28 Feb Chapter 220 Lately, StarNet had been flooded with gratitude posts, all thanking Nyx for their answered prayers.
It sounded surreal, but the sharp rise in birth rates didnât lie. For a time, Nyx was completely overwhelmed by waves of faith pouring in.
âThere are rules to wishâmakingâdonât make unreasonable requests, Nyx sighed, poking Xivarâs cheek.
The little bear lay on the ground, completely oblivious to Nyxâs conversation, unaware he had almost been âsold off.â He was too focused on gnawing an apple.
But even silliness had its own charm in Xivarâs eyes. She picked him up, rubbed his fur, and patted his little butt. âGo on; go play with your brother.â
Chubby was busy clinging to the two eggs, earnestly telling them a story.
Just as he finished, he carefully placed Sky and Ash back into the incubator, making sure they were settled. Then, he hopped off the table, ready to find his little bear.
The moment he turned around, he heard a rolling soundâloud and clear. He froze, and then whipped his head around in panic.
His little brothers had rolled out of the incubator.
