Chapter 214
“Zayne?” Nyx watched in shock as Zayne’s face turned stormy.
His usual gentle demeanor vanished, replaced by an overwhelming aura of fury. He stormed out of the room and punched Theon, and then Erik.
Neither had expected the attack and failed to react in time.
“No hitting Daddy!” Chubby, witnessing the scene, panicked. He rushed over, baring his tiny, rice–grain–like teeth, and bit down hard on Zayne.
His small body was barely the size of a palm, yet he stood firm in front of Theon and Erik.
Zayne snapped out of his rage, withdrawing his fist. But his face remained grim as he threw the medical report at them. “Look at what you’ve done!”
Their first child had only hatched two days ago, and Nyx was already pregnant again.
Though early–stage pregnancy scans couldn’t yet show an image, some biological markers had already shifted.
Theon picked up the report as the other males gathered around. Their faces darkened one by one.
They had been tasked with taking care of Nyx, yet they made Nyx pregnant again.
The air was thick with tension. Theon and Erik both felt a chill down their spines. They had only skipped their contraceptives once.
“Really?” Nyx rushed over, snatching the report in disbelief.
Ever since Chubby’s birth, she and Theon and Erik had barely had any intimate moments. With Chubby being such a handful, they had only managed to do sex once. And yet, she had gotten pregnant again–this was nothing short of a miracle.
Even she had only joked about it and never thought it would actually happen.
She patted Zayne’s chest to calm him down. “Having another baby isn’t a bad thing.”
Female Beastmen had much shorter gestation cycles than Earth women and recovered quickly.
With the help of medical pods, they could recover almost completely right after giving birth, and after just a few more days of rest, they would be back to normal.
Her delivery with Chubby had gone exceptionally smoothly, and she had taken proper time to recuperate.
“My body is perfectly fine, isn’t it?” She would never joke about something as serious as her health.
“But no female has ever given birth again this soon,” Zayne said, still frowning.
At the very least, there was usually a gap of one or two years–many waited over a decade, and some even several decades.
However, that wasn’t due to deliberate contraception. It was simply difficult to conceive.
At the thought of this, Zayne’s expression eased slightly.
Getting pregnant again so soon was practically impossible, so it was understandable that Theon and Erik had let their guard
down.

Nyx’s body was indeed extraordinarily healthy.
47%
Other females showed some physical changes after childbirth, but she seemed exactly the same as before, with all her stats still at peak condition.

The males studied her medical report carefully. Their tense expressions gradually softened, but the way they looked at Nyx now was as if she were a fragile porcelain doll.
Nyx stiffened.
Those gazes reminded her of the strict protection she endured during her pregnancy with Chubby–where she was waited. on hand and foot, never touching the ground, never leaving the house.
Back then, it had only been Theon and Erik taking care of her, and she had already felt suffocated. But now, she had access to all her male mates.
The males had already regretted not being there for her during her first pregnancy and childbirth. Now that a new situation had arisen, they were determined to make up for it–twice over.
Having overprotective mates was its own kind of suffering for Nyx.

At the palace banquet in the evening, Queen was startled when she saw Nyx looking utterly dejected and immediately asked, “What happened?”
Judging by how tense Nyx’s mates looked, Queen suspected that something bad had happened to Nyx back on Earth.
A flash of anger appeared on Queen’s face. She thought, ‘If Nyx has been hurt, that planet truly deserves to be obliterated. We wouldn’t take our anger out on the entire race, but the culprit would be found and punished severely.
‘As for Earth, it could forget about receiving any aid from the Beastmen Empire.‘
“Mother,” Aurelius interrupted her furious thoughts, “Nyx is pregnant.”
Queen froze for a moment, and then broke into a smile. “A baby? Of course, I know. This banquet is for him, after all.” She waved at the little python with motherly affection. “Chubby, come here. I’m your royal grandmother. Let me hold you.” Chubby wasn’t shy around strangers, and his clever demeanor had already won over the elders.
As Nyx’s first child, he was incredibly significant. In him, the royal family saw the hope of an heir.
Since Nyx was able to conceive Chubby with the SS–level male Jaws, there was a chance she could also bear a child with the Crown Prince,
“Nyx, little tigers are adorable too,” Queen said, pulling out old photos of Aurelius and his brothers as children, hoping to pique her interest.
Cute little white kittens, chubby tiger cubs–Nyx’s eyes lit up as she admired them, clearly tempted.
“Aurelius, you need to work harder too,” Queen lowered her voice, urging him.
With their high genetic levels, conception was difficult. And with so many mates, Nyx couldn’t possibly bear a child for each of them.
Opportunities were scarce–Aurelius had to seize his chance.
“Mother, that’s up to Nyx to decide,” Aurelius sighed, shaking his head. “Besides, she’s already pregnant.”

“What?” Queen’s voice cracked in disbelief, losing all her usual noble composure. “What did you just say?”
She studied Nyx and the males‘ expressions, realizing they weren’t joking. She thought, ‘Nyx really has gotten pregnant again after giving birth to Chubby. How is that possible?‘
47%
“Could the medical report be wrong?” asked she,a she knew that even for lower–ranked E–level females, conception wasn’t this easy.
Queen immediately summoned the royal doctor to re–examine Nyx. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Zayne, but this matter was simply too unbelievable for her.
+5
After a thorough examination, the royal doctors unanimously confirmed–Nyx was indeed pregnant. However, it would take some time before a clear image could be captured.
The doctors looked at Nyx in shock. In all their years of practice, they had never seen anything like this.
Emperor and Queen exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with joy. They had thought Chubby’s birth was a stroke of luck. But now, with a second cub on the way, it was clear luck had nothing to do with it.
Though this was a joyous occasion worthy of celebration, Nyx remained calm. She had no intention of making a public
announcement.
She playfully teased Chubby, who was lying on her stomach, “Chubby, do you think it’s a lion or a little gray wolf in there?”
Chubby tilted his head, deep in thought for a long time before greedily replying, “I want both.”
He had heard that his little brother would be fluffy, and he wanted two of them.
Xivar, who had come to visit Nyx, burst into uncontrollable laughter at Chubby’s innocent words.
Since the end of the ancient era, female Beastmen had suffered from a significant decline in fertility. The fact that Nyx could conceive again after giving birth to Chubby was already astonishing. The idea of having twins? That was simply unimaginable.
