Chapter 261: 261: Improve Energy For Birth

[Host’s energy could potentially get worse, as Host is expected to deliver soon.]

[Host’s current energy status is decent enough to sustain Host and help her recover. But with the cub coming sooner than Host knows, it might decrease Host’s energy.]

[Therefore, to ensure a smoother birth with less pain and discomfort, Host has to significantly improve her energy level.]

Ayra blinked. "Oh, now I understand... You should have said so earlier." She shook her head with a sigh. "So what are you trying to say...?"

[In short, Host needs to improve her energy in preparation for delivery, which is coming soon.]

"So what do I have to do to improve my energy...? Get intimate with one of my mates?" Ayra casually guessed.

[Bingo. Host is getting smarter at this.]

"..."

[Intimacy is the fastest way to generate energy for Host.]

[But if Host doesn’t want to, Host could use other methods, such as eating a lot of vegetables, up to ten times a day, and maintaining a healthy diet without other random foods.]

Ayra gasped as she stared at the system. "I’ll get intimate... How the hell is the other option even possible?" she said, shaking her head. She couldn’t imagine the thought of eating vegetables for hours and days straight.

"So... who will it be this time? Or do I just pick any mate?" she inquired.

[No, Host. You can’t pick anymore for now.]

[The system has selected the perfect candidate to get the job done.]

[The Wolf Husband — The Father of the Cub.]

[This is the perfect candidate since he is the cub’s father and is most directly connected to Host’s womb at the moment.]

[Therefore, this will help Host boost her energy more effectively.]

Ayra slowly nodded as the system continued.

[Host’s current energy level is 50%, as a result of the last task completed.]

[This is decent enough to help Host recover. But with the cub incoming soon and fast, Host needs to boost her energy level to at least 90%.]

[Or 100%, if possible, to guarantee a smooth birth.]

[So, good luck, Host, on completing this task!]

[Deadline: 25 Hours.]

Ayra stared at the system tab. "A deadline now...?" she wondered aloud.

Her only interpretation was that the cub could be coming after that time limit. She needed to get the task done within that period.

[GOOD LUCK, Host! The system is cheering hard for you!]

The system puffed into thin air, leaving Ayra sitting there with a sigh.

With the system gone, Ayra gently ran a hand over her stomach. She could feel the little one moving beneath her palm, and a smile slowly appeared on her face.

"You little one, consuming Mama’s energy," she murmured fondly. "Are you that hungry?"

She gently rubbed her stomach. "I wonder what you’ll be like. A girl? A boy? Will you be gentle like Zay, or will you be troublesome like our little triplets?"

Her smile widened.

"Either way, I can’t wait to meet you."

As if responding to her words, she suddenly felt a kick against her stomach, followed by another.

Ayra smiled happily. "Maybe the system is right. Maybe you really are coming sooner than I know."

She shook her head softly.

Ayra glanced around the room before firmly wrapping herself in the warmth of the animal-skin sheet.

"It’d be best to have the wolf around to keep me warm, though," she said with a shameless smile.

She knew she needed more than warmth at the moment.

After the system presented her with the task, she couldn’t help but think about it more. She was genuinely beginning to crave some warmth now, and Commander Lynn kept coming to mind.

His strong build, his handsome face, his voice... Ayra found herself having flashbacks that left her feeling increasingly needy.

"Ayra, you need to rest." She shook her head, brushing the thoughts away. "We can’t be this shameless now... Let’s wait until tomorrow."

She said it while already thinking about how she would convince him to spend time with her.

"I’m sure he’ll want to as well..." Ayra slowly nodded. "He will..."

Another shameless smile appeared on her face as she remembered their previous intimacy.

Then she immediately shook her head.

"No! Don’t be shameless now!" she scolded herself, pulling the blanket over her body.

She guessed she became much more shameless with her thoughts whenever she was pregnant.

The next day, Ayra was awake and sitting close to her bed. She was in the company of her little ones, who were already bickering over who got to feed Mama that morning.

"I haven’t fed Mama yet!" Neris insisted.

"You have! I’m the one who hasn’t yet. You did it last week or something," Nat argued.

"That was long ago. Now I want to feed Mama," Neris insisted.

"You all can’t feed Mama. I’m the one who can, so I’ll do it," Nyeon declared.

Zay tilted his head. "But I’m the one Mama wants to feed her."

"No, it’s me!" Neris shook his head.

"It’s me!"

And so, they continued their endless bickering over the matter while Ayra stared at them with an amused smile.

"Well, all of you can feed me at the same time if you want," Ayra suggested, hoping to solve their problem.

"No!"

The five of them rejected her suggestion almost immediately.

And just like that, they continued bickering.

Ayra shook her head with a smile. She looked up as Rai and Kan stepped into the room to pick up the cubs and take them outside to play.

Ayra had been waiting for them because there was something she wanted to ask. Now that they were finally here, she decided to bring it up.

"Oh, yeah. I have something to ask." Ayra looked at them.

"What is it?" Kan asked curiously.

Ayra glanced around before asking, "I’ve been waiting for Commander Lynn all morning. He usually brings me warm water every morning, so I’m curious to know why he hasn’t come here. Where is he?"

"Oh, him? He’s gone," Rai casually replied.
