After Becoming Pregnant With The Empress Cat's Cub - Chapter 14

Ju Rin watched in utter bewilderment as the human lunged straight at her. Her heart leaped into her throat for a split second, a flash of tension crossing her features. Instinctively, she reached out, successfully halting the human’s descent before the body could collide with her.

Her hands pressed firmly against those smooth shoulders.

Lan Ye blinked, looking at her own body suspended above Rin steady, not wobbling an inch. She couldn’t even move. What incredible arm strength! Also, it was so warm, it felt like two heating pads had been pressed onto her shoulders.

Ju Rin watched the motionless Lan Ye, her racing heart finally slowing down.

This human! Did she have any idea of her own condition? Humans were fragile creatures to begin with, and a pregnant human was the most fragile of all, requiring extreme care. This was what Ju Rin had read in the materials she researched this morning, the data explicitly stated that a pregnant human must never fall. And yet, this human had just tried to drop straight onto her!

Ju Rin’s body was incredibly hard. She glanced at the human’s belly, thankfully, nothing had hit it. Just as she was about to lecture this reckless human, she noticed a hand at her chest. Suddenly, a button on her collar was swiftly undone.

“What are you doing?” Ju Rin looked up at Lan Ye.

Being held aloft like that, Lan Ye found her hands were free and her movements quite convenient. She smiled and continued unbuttoning Ju Rin’s shirt, answering the question with total confidence: “Taking off your clothes, of course. Do you like sleeping with them on?”

As the shirt fell half-open, Lan Ye felt the kind of excitement one gets when digging for treasure and seeing the first glint of gold. Her movements quickened.

Because Ju Rin was holding Lan Ye by the shoulders, she didn’t have a free hand to stop her. Seeing the entire garment about to be undone, Ju Rin gripped the human’s shoulders and flipped her over to the side. Lan Ye landed on the other side of the bed.

Ju Lin leaned over, bracing herself above her.

From this angle… lying on her back, Lan Ye could see everything inside the open shirt.

Wow, such sexy lingerie~

Black, lace, a half-cup style, it perfectly hugged the soft, white curves that looked as smooth as scoops of vanilla ice cream. Lan Ye couldn’t help but swallow hard. It looked… delicious. She wanted a taste!

Lan Ye’s gaze was raw and completely undisguised. For the first time, Ju Rin felt “burned” by the gaze of a mere human. Witnessing the human’s gulping motion, Ju Rin swallowed the words she was about to say and reached up to fasten her buttons.

Just as her fingers touched a button, her hand was gripped tightly.

So hot. Lan Ye felt her palms go sweaty instantly, this hand was even hotter than when it had been holding her earlier. But even with the heat, she wouldn’t let go.

“What are you shy for? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.” Lan Ye gave her an ambiguous wink, attributing Rin’s behavior to shyness. Since she herself was already undressed to this extent, it couldn’t be a lack of interest.

In truth, Lan Ye was a bit shy too. She talked a big game, but she was strictly a “theorist.” That night, technically everything had happened, but she had no real memory of it, and her subsequent dreams were always blocked by pink bubbles at the crucial parts. This was effectively the first time she was seeing Rin’s body. Even if it was partially covered.

But even that partial view made Lan Ye’s heart hammer and her mouth water. She felt like a gourmet meal was waving at her. She couldn’t wait to eat! It was time to put years of accumulated theoretical knowledge to use.

Ju Rin had intended to pull her hand away, but she paused upon hearing the human’s words. Her eyes drifted back to her. In her worry over the pregnancy, she had overlooked the human’s current state.

This human was down to just her bra and panties…

Floral cotton bra, plain white cotton panties. Whether in style or color, they were the furthest thing from “erotic.” Ju Rin recalled the few times she had been seduced in the past… compared to those sexy outfits, this human looked almost comical.

And yet, these plain, un-feminine undergarments, combined with that youthful face and those eyes filled with blatant desire, created a very unique “flavor.” It was as if innocence and flirtatiousness, childishness and maturity, existed in one person simultaneously.

It was a contradictory kind of attraction.

Perhaps because of the “Bursting Desire Period,” her heartbeat was slightly affected by this human, and her already restless spiritual power surged more violently. Ju Rin remembered what the human had said at the start, something about being “medicine.” She didn’t need medicine…

Ju Rin removed the human’s hand, flipped over to sit on the other side of the bed, and leaned back, massaging her throbbing brow.

“Put your clothes on.”

The moment the words left her mouth, a figure moved in her peripheral vision. The next second, a weight pressed down on her lap. Lan Ye knelt directly on Lin’s thighs and smiled: “Why put them on? Do you want to take them off yourself?”

That sounds like fun.

Ju Rin looked at this smiling, oblivious human. She felt heat rising in her forehead and, simultaneously, a wave of warmth spreading across her lap where the human sat.

“What do you want to do?”

Lan Ye felt Rin was asking the obvious. What else could she be doing? Besides, while the question sounded stern, in this context and with Rin’s slightly husky voice, it sounded more like playing hard to get. Lan Ye interpreted it as “acting coy”, wanting it but not saying it, a sort of shy yet beckoning game.

“I’m being your ‘medicine,’ remember? Do you want to take it?” As she spoke, Lan Ye wrapped her arms around Rin’s neck.

Ju Rin felt the veins in her neck pulse violently. Looking at that bright, smiling face, she furrowed her brow. “Do you know what you’re saying?”

“I know,” Lan Ye blinked. “The Bursting Desire Period, right? I know about it.”

Yesterday, while researching, she had seen this unique beastman trait. The text was long, but Lan Ye had simplified it. It seemed like a human period, usually once a month. The beastman version was shorter, lasting about a day. During this time, their spiritual power would go a bit wild, their inner emotions would be magnified, and certain desires would become overwhelming. If not satisfied, the beastman would be in distress.

Lan Ye felt this was similar to how she got irritable during her period if she couldn’t get the sweets she craved.

If Ju Rin knew Lan Ye had understood it this way, she would have been speechless. It was entirely different…

A spiritual power riot would cause a beastman to show more of their animalistic nature. For a fellow beastman partner, this might make for an incredibly exhilarating sexual experience. But for a human, facing a beastman, especially one who couldn’t stabilize their self-control was dangerous.

To put it simply, the human might be broken.

Ju Rin looked at the human sitting on her. And she’s pregnant.

“Get off.” She reached out to pull away the hands around her neck.

Lan Ye immediately clung tighter. “No~ Don’t be shy. There’s no need to be embarrassed; we’re married now~”

Mentioning the marriage reminded Ju Rin: “The marriage agreement.”

Before she could finish, Lan Ye blurted out: “Clause five, right?” No intimate relationship exceeding boundaries.

Lan Ye huffed. “Well, let me remind you of Clause four.”

Ju Rin frowned. Clause four… she recalled the agreement. Clause four stated that during the marriage, there should be no violence, no interference with freedom, no cheating, and in the event of a disagreement on important matters, to listen to Lan Ye.

She looked at Lan Ye. “What about Clause four?”

“In case of a disagreement on important matters, listen to me.” Lan Ye smiled. “And right now, we have a disagreement on something very important.”

“I don’t think this counts as an ‘exceeding boundaries’ intimacy.”

“We should call this ‘mutual aid between partners.’ You’re in pain, you want it, and I just happen to be here. How could I watch you suffer and do nothing?”

“So, let me help you.”

Ju Rin: “…” She hadn’t expected that in the human’s mind, this fell under “important matters.”

Seeing that Rin seemed convinced, Lan Ye felt triumphant. She knew the other woman was just playing hard to get, needing to be “forced” into it. Seeing that Rin had nothing left to say, Lan Ye let go of her neck and quickly undid the last button of the shirt.

Then, reaching inside the open shirt, she wrapped her arms around her, reached behind her back, and deftly unhooked the row of clasps on that sexy bra.

When her hands pressed against the bare skin of Rin’s back, Lan Ye muttered, “Why is it so hot?” Rin’s body temperature was rising steadily. Lan Ye remembered that night she almost died of heat, so this was the reason.

In her muttering, Lan Ye didn’t notice how deep the amber eyes of the woman she was holding had become. She was focused solely on getting rid of these distracting clothes. She slid her hands around from the scorching back toward the front, wanting to get a handful before taking the clothes all the way off.

But just as she reached around to cup those soft curves, her hands were caught.

This feeling! It’s terrible! Like having food at your lips and then having your mouth sewn shut!

She looked accusingly at the person stopping the fun, only to meet a pair of eyes with vertical, slit pupils.

Lan Ye: !

What’s happening? Why did Rin’s pupils turn into that?!

“Are you sure… you want to be the medicine?”

As she spoke, the pupils returned to normal, and her husky voice seemed to be restraining a powerful emotion. There was a faint, dangerous signal being released.

If it had been thirty seconds ago, Lan Ye might have sensed the danger. But at this moment, right when she was about to grasp that soft flesh, her “lustful courage” was off the charts. She only wanted to continue.

“Don’t worry, I’m a woman of my word. Let go of my hands, and I’ll make sure you’re very comfortable.”

Ju Rin’s brows quirked slightly. “Comfortable?”

Lan Ye nodded, aggressively selling herself: “Yes, comfortable. You lie down, let me show you my skills today.”

“Skills?” Ju Rin’s brow arched higher, seemingly puzzled.

With her hands pinned, Lan Ye guessed: “Don’t like hands? Prefer the mouth? That works too~” Theoretically, she knew how to do everything; she just lacked practice.

“Mouth?” Ju Rin looked down at Lan Ye’s lips as they moved.

The human’s mouth was a very healthy color, like a ripe cherry, red and plump. Snippets of memory flashed through her mind. That night, this mouth had been exceptionally soft… and the sounds that spilled from it were as sweet and sticky as cherry juice.

The restless spiritual power became even more clamorous.

Lan Ye, seeing Rin only repeating her words, felt like her hands were about to be roasted by the heat of Rin’s grip. They hadn’t even done anything yet, and it was already this hot. Thinking about how stifling that first night was, Lan Ye felt they needed to hurry. She tried to pull her hands back and found the other had let go.

Aha! Lan Ye looked at her freed hands. So she’d been convinced? She wanted to experience the “skills”? She knew nobody could refuse such a sincere offer.

“Kiss first.” It would be a waste to have a mouth and not use it.
