His partner Ba Tong, stayed by his side every step of the way, her eyes sharp and her brows furrowed with worry.

Jian Mo's reputation had already spread, and the two trusted him quite a bit. After exchanging greetings, they cooperated fully with Jian Mo's inquiries and examinations.

Ba Tong said to Jian Mo with concern, "Our Xiong Ying clan's fetuses are relatively larger than those of other tribes, but not this large. I suspect Shan Yan is carrying twins."

Jian Mo glanced at Shan Yan, then at the others. "For the individual investigation, could the rest of you please leave for a moment?"

Wu Jiong, being an orc, nodded to Jian Mo and led the way out.

The others quickly followed.

Jian Mo listened carefully to Shan Yan's belly with a stethoscope and indeed heard three heartbeats— Shan Yan and the two fetuses.

The heartbeats of two of the fetuses overlapped somewhat, indicating that Jian Mo was showing signs of transforming into a sub-beastman, with exceptionally sharp hearing.

After confirming, Jian Mo nodded with a heavy heart.

Having twins in this day and age is no easy feat. If you're not careful, Shan Yan and the fetus can have problems, and premature birth would be even worse.

Ba Tong understood the difficulties of having twins, and seeing Jian Mo nod, he couldn't help but hug Shan Yan's shoulders.

Shan Yan, on the other hand, felt a little more relaxed and comforted them, saying, "Twins aren't necessarily difficult to conceive. Both our tribe and the Xiongying Tribe have had sub-beastmen who have given birth to twins, so it's not a big problem."

Ba Tong responded softly, "Mm."

Jian Mo said seriously, "I will do everything in my power to help you."

Shan Yan is already having discharge; it looks like she's about to give birth.

Jian Mo requested that a large amount of boiling water be prepared, and also asked an experienced sub-orc to come and help oversee things.

After everything was arranged, Jian Mo returned to her temporary residence.

Wu Jiong had already prepared the meal and fed Jiujiu.

After finishing her meal, Jian Mo quickly went to sleep, intending to be well-rested to deal with any unexpected events.

Their premonition was accurate. In the middle of the night, Ba Tong's neighbor came knocking on the door in the dark, saying that Shan Yan was about to give birth and asking Jian Mo to come over.

Jian Mo opened her eyes immediately upon hearing the sound and sat up in bed.

Wu Jiong patted his back with one hand and handed him his clothes with the other, saying, "I'll go out and take a look first, then I'll come with you later."

Jian Mo nodded and quickly got dressed.

Medical equipment and medicines were all prepared, and Jian Mo picked up the medical kit and went out with Wu Jiong.

When they arrived at Shan Yan's house, Shan Yan's water had indeed broken, and she was struggling to give birth.

Jian Mo had extensive experience delivering babies for common pets like cats and dogs, but she had never delivered a baby for a subhuman.

Having calmed down, Jian Mo and the sub-orcs who had come to help checked on Shan Yan's condition.

Shan Yan was giving birth for the first time and cried out in pain.

Ba Tong paced back and forth outside the house, eventually unable to resist transforming back into its beast form and running around outside with a thud.

Childbirth itself takes time, and there's not much the midwife can do about it.

Jian Mo and the sub-beastman who came to help could only check on Shan Yan's condition while encouraging him.

"No!" Shan Yan cried out in anguish, clutching the animal hide. "I can't give birth!!!"

The sub-orcs who were helping panicked and looked at Jian Mo: "What should we do? Should we help Shan Yan stand up and walk around? Let's all help Shan Yan up--"

Jian Mo quickly stopped him. "Would standing up and walking help?"

The sub-beastman was uncertain. "Really? In the past, if someone couldn't give birth, they would first try to stand up and walk. If they still couldn't give birth, then they would take the fetus out."

If the orcs were to use their claws to pull the fetus out, the fetus would not survive.

Shan Yan, who had been in a daze, murmured upon hearing the key words, "No, don't take it out, I can try again."

After examining him, Jian Mo made a quick decision. "No, the fetus has been stuck for too long, which is a risk for both of you. How about I try using forceps?"

Jian Mo brought several forceps with her this time, all of which had been sterilized.

Shan Yan asked with pain and worry, "Won't that hurt the cub?"

Jian Mo assessed the situation. "Injury to the pups is relatively rare. Using forceps would be less risky than you giving birth now."

Shan Yan understood, Ba Tong outside also heard it, shouting hoarsely, "Doctor Jian Mo, please ensure Shan Yan's safety first."

Shan Yan grabbed Jian Mo's hand. "No, save the baby, I can still hold on."

Jian Mo glanced at Shan Yan and said, "I'll try it first."

Jian Mo had just checked; Shan Yan's cub was in beast form, looking more like a meerkat than a pony.

Although the Shan Yan is humanoid, its shape, similar to a meerkat Jian Mo extremely familiar.

He had delivered many kittens and puppies, and the meerkat-like fetus calmed him down considerably.

Jian Mo bent the forceps to a certain shape, carefully inserted them into Shan Yan's body, and after a thorough examination, gently clamped the head of one of the fetuses.

Shan Yan was pregnant with twins, and the two fetuses were very tightly stuck in the birth canal.

Jian Mo could only use forceps to patiently and meticulously rotate the fetus and gently adjust its direction.

Shan Yan's face contorted in pain, his hands gripping the animal hide tightly. The sub-beastmen who came to help quickly pressed him down.

Jian Mo, much steadyer than usual, and she was very calm.

"Don't be afraid," Jian Mo comforted softly. "I've got a firm grip on the cub; just turn it around a bit."

Shan Yan was in so much pain that she could barely hear.

The orcs who came to help were also a little scared, and kept looking at Jian Mo with concern.

Soon, Jian Mo adjusted her posture. "Come on, take a deep breath, it's okay, take another deep breath."

It took Shan Yan a while to react before she listened to Jian Mo's instructions on breathing and her body relaxed slightly.

From this perspective, delivering babies for sub-orcs is still more advantageous than delivering babies for animals, as animals will not cooperate willingly.

After Shan Yan relaxed again, Jian Mo seized the opportunity and used forceps to pull the baby forward. Then, with the help of Jian Mo and Shan Yan, the baby was delivered.
