"If you need anything else, just let us know anytime. We'll try our best to help," Kai said.
Standing beside him, Kano remained silent, staring at the cave.
He really wanted to go inside and see Silu, but he was worried about disturbing her.
So, he stood there quietly, carefully listening to the sounds from within.
"Thank you. Since it's already late, it wouldn't be convenient to invite you in. How about another day, during daylight?" Nans said,"
"Alright, then we'll take our leave," Kai replied, pulling his younger brother Kano along.
Only then did Nans carry the items inside.
Silu looked at Nans and then at the things in his hands. She understood immediately.
She had to admit, the Giant Crocodile Tribe was indeed kind.
She had overheard their conversation earlier.
"Actually, right after you gave birth, they came over with their tribe's healer. They checked on both you and the little fawn. This is their second visit today," Cheng Mo explained to Silu.
In truth, he had noticed something subtle.
Kai's younger brother, Kano, seemed to have taken a liking to the little female.
However, he wasn't entirely sure.
Regardless, the most important thing for the little female right now was to rest and recover.
After all, she had just given birth and was still weak.
Once Silu had eaten, she lay down to sleep. Of course, when no one was watching, she secretly consumed the system's rewarded healing pill.
Everyone took turns watching over Silu and caring for the little fawn.
Since Silu was also a white deer, taking care of the newborn fawn felt like caring for a miniature version of her.
Each of them cherished the fawn and tended to it with great dedication.
The next morning, Silu woke up hungry.
The moment she regained consciousness, the aroma of meat filled her nose.
Her stomach growled in hunger.
"Lulu, the meat soup is just ready. I'll get you some," Bai Di said happily, immediately ladling out a portion.
At that moment, only Bai Di and Cheng Mo were inside the cave.
Cheng Mo was feeding the little one with milk.
"Mm-hmm, I woke up starving," Silu said, touching her stomach and sitting up.
She had to admit, after consuming the system's pill and sleeping through the night, she felt full of energy.
Not only was her exhaustion completely gone, but she also felt stronger than before her pregnancy.
As expected, the healing pill was truly miraculous.
Her current state was even better than before she had conceived.
"Don't move recklessly. Let me help you up," Bai Di exclaimed, startled to see Silu sitting up on her own.
He almost dropped the stone bowl in his hand.
Cheng Mo also rushed over anxiously, his brows furrowed.
"Don't worry, I feel great. I feel like my body is brimming with strength," Silu reassured them with a smile.
Seeing how nervous they were, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Bai Di and Cheng Mo exchanged skeptical looks.
She had just given birth yesterday and had been extremely weak.
Even though Silu wasn't an ordinary female and possessed some cultivation, females were naturally delicate and frail—this was an unchangeable fact.
"Here, check for yourself. My body is really fine," Silu said, extending her wrist toward Bai Di for examination.
Bai Di set the stone bowl aside and took her wrist to check her condition.
In the next moment, he was utterly stunned!
This… this was impossible!
Just yesterday, she had been so weak after giving birth.
And now, her condition was excellent!
This was too miraculous.
In all his years, he had never seen a female recover like this.
Indeed, this little female defied common logic.
"Well?" Cheng Mo asked Bai Di, concerned.
Seeing Bai Di's expression change, he looked at Silu with mixed emotions.
"Her body is truly fine. However, just to be safe, you should still rest for a few more days. Giving birth is a big event. For us and for yourself, you need to recuperate properly," Bai Di advised.
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you," Silu agreed.
After all, it was just a few days of rest, not months. She could accept that.
More importantly, she didn't want them to worry.
"Good. Now, drink the soup," Bai Di said, handing her the stone bowl.
"Where are the others?" Silu asked as she looked at Cheng Mo and Bai Di.
Nans and the others were nowhere to be seen.
"Since we're staying in the Giant Crocodile Tribe, aside from Bai Di, we take turns helping their hunting team. It's a way to repay them for letting us live here," Cheng Mo explained.
This was a common practice.
Every tribe operated similarly.
Even if one became part of a tribe, male beastmen were still responsible for hunting—that didn't change.
Besides, the Giant Crocodile Tribe treated them well.
It was only fair to contribute in return.
"Oh, I see. No wonder you're often out," Silu nodded in understanding.
After all, they were living in someone else's territory.
Being able to stay there safely, without worrying about danger, naturally came with some responsibilities.
It was like buying a house—you had to pay for it.
Or renting one—you had to pay rent to the landlord.
Silu completely understood.
"How is the little one?" Silu asked, looking at the larger bamboo basket.
She was still thinking about her fawn.
"He's fine. He eats and sleeps, then sleeps and eats. Very lazy," Cheng Mo replied seriously.
"Well, he was just born. He needs time to adjust. Hehe, when will he be able to run around?" Silu asked.
She imagined a tiny white deer running around at her feet, calling "Mother, Mother."
That would be so cute and heartwarming.
She was really looking forward to it.
"Usually around seven days. But it depends on talent and physique," Cheng Mo explained, gazing lovingly at their child.
As a father, he adored his little one.
Having a child brought new hope and a sense of purpose.
He now had even more aspirations for the future.
This was his and Silu's child.
How wonderful!
"Lulu, thank you for giving me such an adorable child. I'm truly grateful and overjoyed!" Cheng Mo said, his eyes burning with emotion as he looked at Silu.
"This is my child too. And I'll have more in the future. Hehe, you'll all be their fathers. Isn't that wonderful?" Silu said with a grin.
"Lulu, let me tell you, little foxes are also very cute—fluffy and extremely adorable," Bai Di chimed in with a smile.
Cheng Mo shot Bai Di a glance.
This guy…
"I love them all. They're my children, after all!" Silu declared,"
"By the way, what should we name our little white deer?" Silu asked excitedly.
"You choose," Cheng Mo said tenderly.
"You're his father, so I'll let you decide. Let's call him Cheng Yu!" Silu exclaimed in delight.
"Great name!" Cheng Mo beamed.
"Our Cheng Yu is a rare, ancestral Seven-Colored Deer. Amo, have you heard of them?" Silu asked.
"Seven-Colored Deer?!" Cheng Mo was stunned!
Bai Di, however, looked confused—he had no idea.
Silu and Cheng Mo instantly realized that Cheng Mo knew something.
"You know about them?" Silu asked.
"Of course! It's a legend among our deer tribe. It is said that…"
