Sally's hunger during this pregnancy was not a bottomless pit, but a bottomless abyss.
In the second stage, the squad had collected all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, including those stored in her space, all of which went into her belly just to barely make it to the third day.
She never felt full, and got hungrier by the day.
"Xiaoi, we've run out of food, we have to go hunting."
"Host can rest assured about safety concerns and don't worry about the baby, feel free to hunt, Xiaoi's got everything covered."
"Xiaoi is the most reliable, I kiss you~"
"Kiss back~"
Sally carried an AK47 on her back and left the squad's base.
She headed deep into the Beast Forest in search of edible heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
"Xiaoi, I really like children, and I love them very much." Sally touched her lower abdon where another little life was sprouting, looking forward to it with all her heart.
Xiaoi replied, "Mhmm, host is the best I've seen towards children, and each one is very healthy, Father Beast has arranged everything perfectly too."
Thinking of Pei Xuan and the others, Sally shook her head, "I hope they can forget and find a good female to live with. By the way, what will you do if I go back to Earth soday? Find another host?"
"Xiaoi doesn't know, because no host has ever been able to complete their mission and fulfill their original wish."
"...Do you think I stand a chance?" Sally laughed lightly.
Xiaoi replied, "Xiaoi has confidence in the host!"
"Good, I will fulfill my original wish and show you," Sally said with full courage.
After confirming that the Holy War Committee was targeting them, Sally had lost all her fondness for the Holy Mother title.
In fact, she had never been interested in the title of Holy Mother. It was only after Xiaoi said that a host bound with the Offspring System must participate and would be actively summoned that she passively accepted it.
But now... Sally found out that Xiaoi, the Offspring System bound to her, could both follow and ignore headquarters' orders. She told Xiaoi not to listen to headquarters anymore.
As for competing for the title of Holy Mother, it was still necessary, not for anything else but because Zi Qi, Yin Zang, and Yu Yan still needed to go back. Most importantly, her baby in her belly and Xiaoqi absolutely, absolutely needed a father.
In this Beast World, females were only responsible for giving birth. It is the males who are truly responsible for raising the young. A cub can be without a mother, but absolutely cannot be without a Father Beast, or they would be bullied and discriminated against.
Sally collected thirty pounds of Spiritual Honey.
Drinking it like fruit juice was no problem at all, not only did it not taste too sweet, but after drinking it, she finally felt a bit full.
"This Spiritual Honey is great, I think the little one in my belly likes it." Sally said to Xiaoi.
Xiaoi analyzed the Spiritual Honey, "It has the effect of promoting growth and evolution. I suggest the host eat more of it."
"Mhmm, I'll keep looking for other bee hives," Sally said, touching her sowhat filled stomach, feeling a bit more comfortable.
This baby liked sweet things; they should be a very gentle and adorable child when born.
As Sally walked through the Beast Forest, she only thought about looking for food, because she was too hungry to think of anything else.
"Excuse ," a calm and refined voice ca from behind Sally.
Sally was harvesting Spiritual Honey and turned around when she heard the voice.
These past few days, all she did was eat or search for food. Without paying attention to her appearance, her hair disheveled and clothes a loose maternity dress, she looked like a female with a ntal disorder.
The person who ca was a male with black hair and green eyes, wearing silver-rimd glasses. He was dressed in a black, neatly tailored, stand-up collar robe with a white inner garnt peaking slightly at the neckline and cuffs, holding a thick black leather book in his hand.
The entire image and temperant resembled a young and handso professor from a university, exuding a refined and scholarly vibe from head to toe.
Sally was astonished, "Who are you?"
The man replied, "My na is Frans."
"Oh, are you a squad male?" Sally's gaze shifted toward his wrist but couldn't see anything due to the sleeve blocking it.
However, those who appeared in the Beast Forest at this ti should only be from the Holy War Squad, right?
Frans said, "No, I'm a follower of the Holy Church. This is the sacred scripture." He showed the black leather book to Sally.
Sally quickly glanced at it and asked Xiaoi, "What is a follower of the Holy Church?"
"The Holy War Committee was established by the Holy Church. The final selected Holy Mothers will mate with the Holy Monarch of the Holy Church to produce the heir of the Holy Church."
"Heh! All this effort just to find females for the Holy Monarch to father children. Can you tell if this person is a friend or foe?"
"No hostility is detected; he must be passing by coincidence. The rules and order during the Holy War are supervised by the Holy Executor. He should be a Holy Executor."
"Frans, is it?" Sally looked at the honeycomb chunk in her hand, "Want to try so? It's really tasty."
Frans: "…Thank you, but no."
"Oh." Sally took a big bite, her mouth watering with delight. It was incredibly delicious.
Frans watched her, "After midnight tonight, the second phase of the Holy War trial will be officially over."
"Is that so?" Sally was now completely uninterested in the Holy War's progress. After all, she was securely in third place, and her Holy War Points kept rising. It must be Yu Yan and Yin Zang earning points. She had already surpassed forty million points, securing her third place without concern.
As for Zi Qi, she was too busy filling up her stomach to think about him.
Xiaoi had also said that for females on the Beast World Continent, once they were pregnant with a male's child, the male beca less important to the female, at least not as crucial as the offspring.
And Sally felt that the baby in her belly was most important now; everything else could take a hike.
"You seem to be wandering further off the path. This is the Grand Pulse Beast Forest in the Northern Domain Continent, one of the more remote beast forests, and it's full of dangers."
For Sally, she sought out exotic treasures and dangers were Xiaoi's responsibility. Besides, she had been very safe on her journey so far.
"Mind your business." Sally couldn't be bothered with him and continued eating her treat.
"Your current condition looks a bit like… you're pregnant!" Frans raised his hand and adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Sally didn't stop eating, "And what's that to you?"
"During the Holy War, it is forbidden for female participants to take the Pregnancy Elixir until the end of the Holy War. If discovered, one imdiately loses their candidacy as a Holy Mother."
"What are you getting at? Ca to check if I've secretly taken the Pregnancy Elixir to get pregnant?" Sally finished her honey and grabbed another big chunk to eat.
Frans squinted at her, and a fleeting dark golden light shone in his eyes. After confirming sothing, a faint smile actually appeared on his face.
Sally caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye and was taken aback for a mont.
Because this man was, when not smiling, refined and scholarly looking rely pretty. But when he did smile, it was like another person entirely. Like the veiled moon revealing its peerless and breathtaking beauty.
