After Giving Birth, All My Beast Ex-Husbands Suddenly Want Me Back-Chapter 48: Signal

Aji led Mino to the square, where the shaman was in the middle of treating Dora.

Mino walked straight up, carrying Nina in his arms. His expression was icy as he said, "Shaman, look at Nina. Now."

The shaman frowned, displeased by Mino’s tone, but Mino’s overwhelming presence—and Nina’s visibly dire condition—made him hesitate.

He caught the scent of blood and noticed the stains beneath Nina’s skirt. His expression changed at once. He stopped what he was doing and went to examine her.

"She’s suffered fetal distress," the shaman said after checking. "The due date hasn’t arrived yet, so the cub can’t be born, but the situation is indeed dangerous. I need to treat her immediately."

Mino’s expression eased slightly. A moment longer, and he might not have been able to suppress the killing intent boiling inside him.

Seeing the shaman about to treat Nina, Dora seized the moment when no one was paying attention and secretly took another bite of the Corrosive Flesh Fruit. She clutched her stomach and rolled on the ground, screaming, "Ah—so painful! My cub—something must be wrong with my cub!"

She looked at the shaman pleadingly. "Shaman, save me—please save my cub!"

The shaman turned back, startled. "Why did the pain suddenly worsen?"

Dora was writhing in obvious agony, and she truly was poisoned, so it didn’t look like an act.

The shaman activated his power to examine her, confusion filling his face. "How is this possible? The toxin is stronger."

One of Dora’s beast husbands immediately grabbed the shaman. "Shaman, treat Dora first! Look how much pain she’s in—what if something happens to her or the cub if we’re too late?"

"But Nina’s condition... is more critical," the shaman said, torn again.

"Shaman," Dora’s beast husband added pointedly, "Dora is a native female of the tribe."

The implication was obvious.

The shaman hesitated and turned to Chief Tali. "The chief is here—why don’t we let him decide?"

Dora’s beast husband spoke first. "Chief, Dora is a female of the tribe. She should be treated first."

Mino’s voice was firm and unyielding. "Nina must be treated first."

Chief Tali felt uneasy under Mino’s pressure, but this was still his tribe, and Mino shouldn’t dare do anything too extreme.

Nina had been pursued by many males in the tribe but had accepted none of them—clearly, she had no intention of staying long. Dora, on the other hand, was a native female, and her cub would one day belong to the tribe.

The decision came quickly.

"Let the shaman treat Dora first," Chief Tali said. "She looks to be in great pain. Nina can wait for a bit."

The shaman cast an apologetic glance at Nina and began treating Dora.

Veins bulged on Mino’s forehead. Ice spikes formed around him as he said coldly, "If you don’t treat Nina right now, I’ll kill Dora."

Dora’s beast husbands immediately assumed defensive stances, fear clear in their eyes. "Mino, don’t be unreasonable! The chief only said Dora goes first—it’s not like Nina won’t be treated at all. She’s just waiting."

"Mino, killing a female is a grave crime," Chief Tali said urgently. "Don’t act rashly. And if you really kill Dora, the shaman won’t treat Nina either."

Mino wasn’t intimidated. Even if Dora died, there were plenty of beastmen here to force the shaman’s cooperation.

Just as he was about to act, a small hand pressed against his arm.

Nina forced her eyes open and said weakly, "Mino... don’t act impulsively."

In the beast world, killing a female was a serious crime that could mean imprisonment in Sin City. She didn’t want Mino risking that for her.

Besides, she had already asked Little Bun—her condition was improving. Once the medicine fully took effect, she would likely be fine. Dora, poisoned as she was, didn’t have many good days ahead of her. Killing her now would only bring needless trouble.

Joy flashed in Mino’s eyes. "Nina, you’re awake. How do you feel?"

"I’m much better. Let’s go home."

"But are you really okay?" Mino asked, still worried.

Nina shook her head. "I’m fine. Let’s go—this place is too noisy. I want to rest."

"Alright. I’ll take you back."

Though reluctant, Mino complied. Before leaving, he shot the shaman a cold look. "Shaman, once you’re done treating Dora, come to our stone house immediately. Otherwise—"

His gaze flicked to Dora. "Everything you did for her today will be wasted."

The shaman understood the threat. "I’ll come as soon as possible."

Mino carried Nina away from the square.

Sal glanced coldly at Dora and Chief Tali before following.

Aji went with them.

Chief Tali finally let out a breath. Thankfully, Nina had woken up—otherwise, he had no idea how today would have ended.

Dora’s expression darkened. She needed to keep the shaman tied up a little longer—long enough for Nina to die.

Back at the stone house, Mino gently laid Nina on the bed. "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"

"A little," Nina said. "Make some meat porridge. I want something light."

"Alright. Wait a bit—I’ll make it right away."

Mino hurried out.

Sal padded over to the bed, watching Nina anxiously.

Seeing the "little cat" back made Nina smile faintly. "Little Flower, you’re back?"

She reached out, and Sal immediately pressed his head into her hand.

"I thought you’d left," she said softly, stroking his round little head. "I was sad for a long time. Don’t run off like that again."

Sal nodded. He wouldn’t ever do that again—today had scared him half to death.

Aji stood there, overwhelmed with guilt. "Nina... I’m sorry. Today I—"

"It’s okay," Nina said gently. "That was only human nature. I don’t blame you at all. And I should thank you—for protecting me so desperately today."

"Nina..."

Aji felt even more ashamed. Protecting females was something a male should do.

She had been badly hurt because he hadn’t taken her away in time, yet she didn’t blame him. She even thanked him—and had willingly gone with Sano to save his life.

He felt he had no face left to face her. "You should rest. I’ll go help Mino."

He withdrew quickly, almost fleeing.

Nina closed her eyes to rest, Sal staying close by her side.

After finishing Dora’s treatment, the shaman prepared to go check on Nina.

Dora tried to keep up the act and delay him, but the shaman ignored her and left directly. The other females didn’t dare say anything and could only wait in the square.

At Nina’s stone house, the shaman examined her again. Finding her condition much improved, he was surprised and guessed that Mino must have given her some powerful medicine.

After finishing, he prepared to leave. Mino said to him, "Shaman, Nina will likely give birth in four or five days. Please come by then."

"I will," the shaman replied before leaving.

Sal watched the shaman’s retreating figure, frowning thoughtfully.

That night, after Nina had fallen asleep, Sal went out again—this time not far.

He sent a signal into the sky, then immediately returned.

Deep in a distant forest, an exceptionally handsome male saw the signal, clicked his tongue in irritation, and transformed into a massive silver wolf, racing toward its source.
