Jian Mo's expression was off, Zhou Zhi noticed it immediately. "What's wrong?"

Jian Mo wasn't sure. "Let me listen again."

Zhou Zhi remained silent.

After a while, Jian Mo put away her stethoscope and asked hesitantly, "If I heard correctly, you seem to be... pregnant?"

Zhou Zhi's face showed a look of shock.

Seeing his expression, Jian Mo felt embarrassed and said, "Perhaps I'm not skilled enough. Let me listen again."

Jian Mo took the stethoscope and listened carefully to Zhou Zhi again. As a result, he could clearly hear the signs that Zhou Zhi was pregnant, whether from the sounds of her internal organs or her pulse.

It seems I really didn't mishear.

Jian Mo looked at Zhou Zhi, opened her mouth, and asked softly, "Is it possible that she's pregnant?"

Zhou Zhi, having recovered from her shock, nodded. "Just that one time."

Jian Mo: "Then it must be true."

Zhou Zhi frowned.

Jian Mo didn't want to pry into his private life, so she only said, "Now that you have a baby, you need to nourish yourself properly, otherwise your body won't be able to handle it. Eat more every day, preferably more meat, and you can also eat some fish, as well as nuts, stems, wild vegetables, and so on. Try to eat a variety of foods."

After a pause, Jian Mo added, "Of course, you have to eat what you can handle. If there's any food you vomit up as soon as you eat it, then forget it."

Zhou Zhi's brow remained furrowed.

Seeing his expression, Jian Mo assumed he didn't want the baby in his belly, and hesitated before saying, "If you don't want the baby, that's fine too. I've learned several prescriptions this time that can safely remove the baby."

It was Zhou Zhi and the others who first noticed something was wrong about Ji Xun a baby last time.

Seeing his expression, Jian Mo said seriously, "Your health is important. Think it over carefully."

Zhou Zhi let out a soft sigh, "I understand, thank you. I just hadn't thought of going that way."

Jian Mo guessed that Wan Zheng and the others hadn't thought of going that way, otherwise they wouldn't have come all this way for treatment. "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Zhou Zhi shook her head. "It's not a matter of keeping it a secret or not. This matter is rather complicated. Let me think about it."

Zhou Zhi rubbed her forehead with her slender fingers, clearly having a headache.

Jian Mo said considerately, "I'll stay in the Cypress Branch Tribe for two days. Think it over before you contact me."

Zhou Zhi forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jian Mo: "You're welcome."

After packing her things, Jian Mo went to the temporary accommodations with the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe.

Wu Jiong quickly came over. "Is Chief Zhou Zhi alright?"

Jian Mo: "Nothing much for now, but we don't know what will happen later. We'll be staying here for a couple of days."

Wu Jiong: "Alright, we can stay a couple more days before heading back to the tribe. If it really doesn't work out, I'll go back to the tribe first, and you can stay here to deal with Chief Zhou Zhi's illness."

Jian Mo nodded. "It feels like so much has happened this past year."

Wu Jiong patted his head. "Why did you suddenly have this feeling?"

Jian Mo: "I can't say now, you'll probably find out in a couple of days."

In fact, it didn't take more than two days.

After Jian Mo finished treating Zhou Zhi's illness in the morning, Qi Ming, the chieftain of the Rain Rising Tribe, came over in the afternoon, requesting to become Zhou Zhi's partner.

Jian Mo was so surprised when she heard the news that her mouth dropped open.

Surprisingly, the chieftains of these two tribes actually ended up together.

No, it wasn't just being together; we actually had sex.

Compared to Jian Mo's surprise, the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe were in an uproar.

They never imagined that their chieftain was pregnant, and with the child of the chieftain of the neighboring Rain Rising Tribe.

Upon seeing Qi Ming arrive with his men, the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe immediately started arguing with them.

Because the insults were so intense, Jian Mo and the others overheard them.

Qi Ming said earnestly to Zhou Zhi, "If you don't want to go to the Rain Rising Tribe, I can come and live in the Cypress Branch Tribe."

Zhou Zhi rubbed her forehead. "It's not that bad yet, let me think about it some more."

Qi Ming said sincerely, "I hope you can give me a chance."

Zhou Zhi- chi said calmly, "We'll see."

Qi Ming brought supplies, expressed his feelings, and then went back.

The Cypress Branch Tribe confiscated their supplies, and a group of people angrily threw the supplies back at them.

Zhou Zhi found Jian Mo and said, "I want to keep this little one, Doctor Jian Mo, what do you think we should do?"

Jian Mo didn't ask any further questions, but said earnestly, "Your health is a bit poor; you need to take care of yourself. Now that you're pregnant, try to avoid taking medicine; we'll use food to supplement your diet. I'll give you a recipe."

Zhou Zhi: "Thank you for your help."

Jian Mo: "You're welcome."

The people of the Cypress Branch Tribe are illiterate, Jian Mo simply draws out the recipes—the people of the Cypress Branch Tribe can always understand them by looking at the pictures.

Drawing a recipe takes time.

That evening, Jian Mo whispered admiringly to Wu Jiong, "I never thought they'd actually get together. You have a good eye for people."

Wu Jiong: "Eyes don't lie."

Jian Mo became interested. "So, do you think they'll become a couple?"

Wu Jiong: "I don't know. They're both clan leaders, so it would be difficult for them to become partners. Instead of guessing whether they'll become partners, how about guessing what beast form the cub will take?"

The cub's beast form usually follows the dominant gene, which Jian Mo couldn't guess. "I feel that Zhou Zhi and Qi Ming are quite strong, Qi Ming even a bit..."

Scheming

"He may appear smiling on the surface, but he's very shrewd and calculating."

Wu Jiong nodded. "I guess it will follow the beast form of the Zhou Zhi."

Jian Mo: "What's the reason?"

Wu Jiong put his arm around Jian Mo: "Intuition, wanna make a bet?"

Jian Mo: "Come on, what's the stake?"

Wu Jiong whispered something in Jian Mo's ear, and Jian Mo's face immediately turned red, but her eyes brightened. "It's a bet! Don't go back on your word."

Wu Jiong's eyes crinkled with amusement. "I never go back on my word."
