["Are you trying to recoup points now that you've seen earning them?"] Sally was quite dissatisfied with Xiaoi's insistence on charging points for everything. Couldn't Xiaoi give her so information for free?
["If the host does not need to exchange, you may leave the System Space for the ti being."] Xiaoi completely ignored her emotions.
Sally ["...Exchange!"]
If it wasn't for the large number of points her fifth child had earned, she would not be willing to part with them.
Xiaoi deducted 500 points for the information fee and then played a recorded video in front of her.
... A gigantic snake, black and red interwoven, tens of ters long, slowly slithered through the forest, its crimson eyes unlike those of the Beastn Clan, more like those of a Demon Beast.
In the blink of an eye, the huge snake transford into a man in black robes wearing a skull mask. His long hair, a mix of red and black, was tied with a chain of unknown material, and through the mask, his crimson eyes seed lazy and wicked.
He cocked his head to listen in a certain direction and then vanished instantaneously.
When he reappeared, Zulu was seen struggling with a massive Simian Monster.
However, Zulu was clearly at a disadvantage, as the Monster opened its mouth to spit out nurous ice arrows laced with deadly poison.
The plants that were hit by the ice arrows instantly turned to nothingness.
Zulu desperately dodged the poisonous ice arrows but, in order to protect the tribesn behind him, including Jason… he was eventually struck by several of those arrows.
A look of despair, along with a profound unwillingness, surfaced on Zulu's face. But as things had reached this point, he knew his life was coming to an end, so he led the Monster deeper into the Beast Forest.
To give Jason and the others a chance to escape.
The man with the skull mask followed Zulu.
At the brink of death, Zulu managed to kill the Monster.
The man with the skull mask appeared at that mont, approached Zulu, and asked, "Do you have any regrets? It seems you're very unwilling to die like this."
At first, Zulu looked at him warily, then realizing he was about to die and had nothing to fear, he answered with a mix of bitterness and helplessness, "My wife is due to give birth. I ca out to gather Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit and hunt deer for her. She must be starving at ho."
"I can make the delivery for you," replied the man with the skull mask.
But the next mont, he found that Zulu had died right after saying those words.
The skull-masked man looked at him and mused, "To have offspring... Lower class Beastn really are enviable, able to have children so simply and straightforwardly."
Afterward, a wisp of silver-grey and crimson mist floated out of his body. The masked body gradually turned into a giant black and red snake, which lay limp on the ground before it disintegrated into a pile of dust.
The mist entered Zulu's body.
Before long, Zulu's eyes opened again...
The video ended there.
The Zulu that appeared afterwards was a fake Zulu with a different core.
["But since it's Zulu's body, why did the child turn out to be… what was it? A Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird?"]
["When you mated, he switched to his true form, so the child you're carrying is his. After the mating, he switched back to Zulu."]
["...It can be done like that!"] Sally was speechless.
["Where is Zulu's body now?"]
["It has turned to ash, just like Lord Dongli's body."]
["Lord Dongli? Wait, you an the snake in the video is Dongli from the Snake Clan? It's not his true form?"]
["His true form is a Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird, from the Bird Clan."]
["Then what's his real na?"]
["Ming Linyuan."]
["Where has he taken my daughter?"]
["To the Eastern District of the Beast World Continent. The Eastern District has a higher number of males with great talent compared to the Western District. Does the host plan to go to the Eastern District?"]
["How do I get there? Isn't it said that the distance between east and west is vast, with insurmountable obstacles in between?"]
["For 1000 points, the Offspring System can transport the host to the Eastern District."]
["Always finding ways to deduct my points. Xiaoi, you're really unscrupulous."]
[Host, there is no such thing as a free lunch.]
[I won't go.]
Having said that, Sally's consciousness withdrew from the system.
But as soon as she ca out, she fell into pitch darkness again.
She ignited a small fireball and found herself in a rectangular stone box.
Her clothes were made of fine cotton, and she wore various agate and pearl jewelry on her head and body, lying on a pile of Red Coins and Crystal Coins; essentially, she was lying directly on these coins.
What is this?!
Although she didn't want to believe it, it was very likely—she had been placed in a coffin and buried!
[Xiaoi, what's the situation?]
[After the host gives birth, you will fall into a state of false death, where the life tir is temporarily paused. This setting appears because the host's life span was too short during your first childbirth, so the system automatically generated it, and it cannot be canceled. Once the host leaves the system, the tir will resu.]
[They thought I was really dead, so they buried ?]
[Yes. Host, you are currently 20 ters underground in the Ancestral Spirit Graveyard of the Rabbit Clan.]
[Twenty ters... How do I get up?]
[You may use points, three points to extricate yourself. However, the system suggests the host could go directly to the Eastern District to breed offspring with higher talents, earning more points, so you can be reborn on Earth faster.]
Xiaoi once again persuaded Sally to leave the Western District and head to the Eastern District.
Sally knew she couldn't afford to waste ti.
But she still wanted to see the three children she had with Zulu, [I'll go after I've seen the children.]
Xiaoi: [That's possible.]
Sally's vision blurred, and she left the coffin.
When she could see clearly again, she saw three little furballs lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Aima was guarding them, holding a pair of half-finished leather boots in her hands and sewing them with a calm and kind expression.
Currently in a transparent state, Sally was invisible to Aima.
She touched each little furball one by one, rembering their appearance at this mont, especially Frost.
Finally, she bent down to kiss them, and her figure slowly faded away…
******
On the edge of the Eastern District in Beast World Continent.
Sally, because of the cross-region transfer, was dizzy and nauseous, sitting on the grass and sweating profusely as she relieved the discomfort.
[Xiaoi, give a Rejuvenation Pill.]
[Exchange complete. The Offspring System has received a notification and is entering an update status, wishing the host a smooth childbirth.]
Before Sally could react, the entire Offspring System turned grey and began updating… It was temporarily unusable.
Sally was dumbfounded, [Xiaoi? Why is the system updating all of a sudden!]
Xiaoi did not respond.
What should she do now?
What about the System Space? She had left many things inside.
[Space!]Sally tried calling out.
Suddenly, a ten-cubic space appeared in her consciousness, packed full with items.
There were also two Birth Gift Packs and several scrolls that she hadn't opened yet.
A Beastman from the Red Fox Clan passed by the grass where Sally was sitting.
Seeing Sally sitting on the grass without moving, looking bewildered, he deftly took a small pouch from his waist.
He threw the small pouch into the air, turning it into a large sack, and then swiftly wrapped Sally in it and carried her away.
