Chapter 114: Is It There?

Activate the skill "Lay Eggs."

Belly…

It seems like there’s no change…

I don’t feel any swelling at all.

"Can Little Pupil see anything?"

Red Pupil observes more carefully; perhaps she can notice a change.

"It seems a bit bigger, but I’m not entirely sure… Can I touch Mommy’s belly? Maybe I can feel something."

"Touch the belly…?"

Before Lin Yu could react, the little girl reached out her small hand to touch her belly.

When the small hand made contact, the girl couldn’t help but shiver.

"How… how is it?"

"Um…"

The little girl pondered, her small hand gently caressing the smooth, snowy white belly.

"…Is it there?"

Something still feels off… the girl thought to herself.

"Yes, although it’s very slight and hard to notice, Mommy’s belly is indeed slowly getting bigger."

Red Pupil slowly withdrew her hand and smiled at Lin Yu.

"It seems like a new little sister will be born soon."

"Yes."

Lin Yu felt a bit happier, and she instinctively reached out to touch her flat little belly.

This time, it must be a good daughter because it feels like it will take a long time to wait.

…

Since she didn’t want to leave the bedroom and hadn’t found any entertainment in this world, Lin Yu could only stare at Red Pupil in her room.

Even though she wanted to talk to the little girl about something fun or heartwarming, she wasn’t very good at chatting.

Red Pupil also spoke very little.

The little girl took Lin Yu’s hand and sat down on the wooden bed covered with hay.

The uncomfortable feeling from the hay made both of them frown at the same time, which made them look more like mother and daughter… or rather, like sisters.

"Jilly’s house should have a mattress; Mommy can let Stealth One and the others go get it back tonight."

"Hmm."

It seems like it, but I remember it being a grass mat?

After the girl replied, both of them fell silent.

Lin Yu was not adept at conversation, while Red Pupil sat quietly beside her, her small face slightly flushed as she gazed at her, seemingly never tiring of the sight.

This awkward situation persisted for an unknown duration until a commotion arose from outside the bedroom.

It sounded like a large presence.

Red Pupil finally snapped out of her reverie, her eyes flickering towards the bedroom door.

"Mom, it seems like an ant is coming."

"Hmm, it’s Little Tear."

Through the effect of the "Unique Skill – Queen Ant," I can ascertain the current location of every ant whenever I wish.

Speaking of which, I didn’t encounter Little Tear on my way back to the castle.

"Mom! Sister!"

Even before the ant arrived, the voice had already reached us.

Listening to the commotion, Little Tear had already rushed to the door.

Bang, bang, bang…

The sound of knocking echoed.

"Mom, open the door quickly! Little Tear knows you’re inside!"

Due to the castle’s age and disrepair, the bedroom door seemed on the verge of collapsing from the knocking.

Before Lin Yu could respond, Red Pupil calmly rose from the bed and approached the bedroom door, opening it with a creak.

"Human race! Oh, no, you are—"

Upon seeing Red Pupil, Little Tear suddenly seemed to recall something and lowered her head.

Sniff, sniff…

"Huh, it doesn’t smell like mom, you are—"

Before she could finish, a small hand suddenly appeared before her.

Thud—

"That hurts! Waaa… Sister."

"This is mom’s bedroom, please don’t knock so hard."

Wah wah…

The Iron Armored Ant’s massive head nodded, her voice tinged with a crying tone, sounding quite aggrieved.

"Wah, why does sister look like a human now? Oh, right! Where is mom?"

As if suddenly remembering something crucial, Little Tear stretched her neck to peer into the bedroom.

"Come in."

Red Pupil stepped aside to allow her entry.

The Iron Armored Ant swung her six legs, clattering as she crawled into the bedroom, and immediately caught sight of a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes, sitting restlessly on the wooden bed.

"Mom, Mommy!! So beautiful!"

Little Tear was momentarily stunned, then leaped forward, only to have her hind leg caught by a small hand, causing her to fall to the ground with a "thud."

"Sister?"

"You scared Mom."

"I didn’t!"

"Mom is hiding behind the bed."

"I… I wasn’t scared by Little Tear! Boo hoo… You all turned into humans, so I want to too! Little Tear wants to become a human as well!"

"You’ll have to wait a bit; Mom’s Magic Value is almost completely depleted."

The little girl gently patted her large head to comfort her.

"Did you come over just for this?"

"Oh, right! Sister Army Lady is back! She should be arriving at the castle soon; she brought back a Class A monster, just like you!"

"Class A… Is it alive?"

A flicker of surprise crossed the young girl’s eyes.

"Yes, it’s alive!"

…

Did she really manage to hunt another Class A Monster in such a short time?… Army Lady is indeed formidable.

Lin Yu listened to her daughters’ conversation while pondering.

She had witnessed all her daughters in combat, and Army Lady’s battles were the most precise; she either swiftly defeated her enemies or retreated decisively after testing them.

Moreover, due to her combat prowess, Army Lady’s monster hunts were a spectacle to behold, with each graceful attack and dodge making one want to cheer for her inwardly.

So when she heard Little Tear mention that they had brought back a wounded Class A Monster in the afternoon, her first thought was of Army Lady, followed by Red Pupil.

…

But my current condition isn’t ideal for going down to finish off the monster; I feel like if I do, a crowd of daughters will be watching me.

And even if I do go down, how should I finish it off?

When I was in ant form, I used my mandibles to deliver the final blow to the monster.

As for now… should I use my fists?

Ah! Right, it seems like I have a skill…

As if struck by a realization, Lin Yu quickly glanced at her skill bar.

Sword Talent

Swordsmanship Master

Found it!

I almost forgot about them.

It’s a passive skill for using a sword. Now that I’ve become a human, I can wield a sword. There are also sword weapons that I collected earlier from the Dead Spirit in the lower level.

I can definitely try out these two skills!

Hmph, swords are a woman’s romance!

Hey, shouldn’t it be a man’s romance? I don’t care! I quite like using swords too!

Because I played this kind of game before, female warriors who use swords are my favorite type!

"Mom."

Red Pupil’s voice snapped Lin Yu out of her reverie.

"What’s wrong?"

"Sister Army Lady should be back soon. Isn’t Mom going to go down and deal with the Class A Monster she brought? The living Class A Monster’s daughter thinks it should be killed quickly."

It does seem that way… after all, if it gets severely injured and dies, the Experience Value for defeating it will go to Army Lady.

We also can’t rule out the possibility of the monster committing suicide.

If she doesn’t want to go down, we can only let Army Lady bring the monster up.

But…

I don’t really want Army Lady to see me without clothes.

Because she always seems to hold me in high regard… I feel like if she sees me, my image as a mother will be compromised.

Hmm, let her place the monster at the door.
