Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: The Truth of That Year’s Childbirth

Bai Su didn’t want to go. She felt things were just fine as they were.

Lu Tingyan had acknowledged two of the children and had also promised to acknowledge her other two.

Then, she could hand the four children over to Lu Tingyan to raise, while she happily continued with her culinary pursuits, started her own business, and lived a full and happy life.

But now, this Li Chenlin was clearly here to take someone away.

She had barely gotten a chance to warm up to her own cubs; they had only just reconciled, and now someone was trying to snatch them away. Anyone in her shoes would refuse.

Seeing Bai Su’s reluctance, Lu Tingyan soothingly ruffled her hair. "Don’t be afraid. How about we just go for a check-up? I want to know about your physical condition too. Don’t worry, I won’t let him take the children."

Bai Su looked at him. "You promise!"

Lu Tingyan nodded. "I promise. It won’t be so easy for Li Chenlin to openly take someone from my territory."

Bai Xiaoshe also hugged Bai Su’s arm from the side. "Don’t worry, Mom. I don’t think much of a bad guy like him. I won’t go with him!"

Bai Xiaolang quickly raised his fist. "Don’t worry, Mom! If he dares to take my brother, I’ll use Tearing Space to kill... kill him until not a trace is left!"

Only then did Bai Su let out a laugh. "You’re the ones who said it. I’ll remember that."

Li Chenlin, who was being openly criticized nearby: "..."

At the hospital.

Bai Su was taken for a detailed uterine examination.

At first, Bai Su thought it was nothing.

But seeing the doctor’s expression grow increasingly grave, she started to get antsy. "Doctor... I don’t have a terminal illness, do I?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor adjusted his glasses and said respectfully, "Of course not, Miss Bai. Please don’t worry. It’s just that the situation is a bit complicated. I need to consult a few more doctors to discuss these results and scans. Rest assured, your body is not in any major trouble."

Bai Su: "..."

The doctor’s tense expression looked like he was about to break out in a cold sweat, which didn’t at all suggest she was fine.

She quickly asked the system in her mind, ’What on earth is wrong with me?’

The system guiltily shrank back. ’N-Nothing! Don’t worry, Host. This body of yours will have no problem living to a ripe old age!’

That made Bai Su even more nervous.

The doctors gathered around her, discussing endlessly. Her family was waiting outside, probably just as anxious.

Fortunately, the doctors didn’t keep Bai Su in suspense for too long.

The lead doctor sat by Bai Su’s bedside and asked gently, "Have you ever had a uterine donation surgery before?"

Bai Su was completely bewildered. "No."

’Why would I do something like that for no reason?’

As far as she could remember, the original owner of this body hadn’t had that kind of surgery either.

The doctor’s expression turned serious. He asked cautiously, "Is your family outside? The situation is rather complex. Could they come in to listen?"

Bai Su nodded. "Yes."

’It seems things are much more complicated than I thought.’

Lu Tingyan and Li Chenlin were both invited in.

The two powerful men—one with a worried and anxious expression, the other dark and fierce—entered, and their overwhelming presence immediately made the young nurses too intimidated to look up.

The doctor wiped the sweat from his brow and nervously began explaining, holding up the scans.

The gist of it was that Bai Su’s uterus had likely been removed four years ago, leaving her unable to bear children.

’Such a rare and precious female... it would be no exaggeration to call her a treasure of the world...’

’I can’t let Lu Tingyan have such a precious female so easily!’

Bai Su asked the system in her mind, ’So, those times I absorbed Lu Tingyan’s spiritual power and my fertility recovered... does that mean my second uterus was stimulated to mature?’

System: ’[That’s right! As long as you continuously mate with sufficiently powerful Level 9 males and absorb their spiritual power, there’s a high chance your severely damaged second uterus can be revived.]’

’[Combined with your own Healing Ability, there’s even a chance it could evolve into a Six-Child Uterus!]’

A look of understanding flashed in Bai Su’s eyes.

’My second uterus has the potential to evolve into a six-child one.’

’Add that to the five-child uterus that was removed... doesn’t that make it eleven?’

’The highest-level male on the Beast World Continent is only Level 9. With an eleven-child capacity, does that mean I could evolve to Level 11?’

’What kind of existence would that be?’

The doctor continued to explain, "Your second uterus does show signs of having carried a pregnancy to term in the past. We don’t know what you went through back then, but our general speculation is that you were already pregnant when your first uterus was removed."

"The fetuses sensed the danger and moved into your undeveloped second uterus. That’s how, by a stroke of luck, you managed to save the children."

"However... the fetuses were too powerful, and there were several of them. Your second uterus was undeveloped and too immature to withstand such powerful embryos. It was drained of too much energy, causing it to tear completely and atrophy."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaolang and Bai Xiaoshe, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance, and saw guilt in each other’s eyes.

They never knew their birth had caused their mother so much harm.

Lu Tingyan’s heart ached so much he felt it would be torn apart. He held Bai Su even tighter. "Susu, I’m sorry... I’m sorry..."

He buried his face in the crook of Bai Su’s neck.
