After she said this, Sally saw his gaze instantly lose its calm and beco a crazed lust for blood!
"[Host, you must not bear children above your rank!]" Xiaoi warned Sally.
Sally said, "[I know, I'll teleport back to the lodge imdiately.]"
"[Good.]" Xiaoi couldn't wait for Sally to stay away from the Beast Emperor for the ti being.
Although information about the Beast Emperor was also in Xiaoi's database, Sally's current values did not et the Beast Emperor's standards.
Forcing mating would injure the host's body.
The Beast Emperor stretched out his hand, and just as he touched Sally's waist, he suddenly felt nothing beneath his hand!
Sally had disappeared!
Zi Qiaoqiao looked over and said with a delighted smile, "Father, you're back?"
Zi Qi did not pay attention to her but instead narrowed his eyes looking at his own hand... The electrifying touch he had just felt was his first since he had won.
That feeling was simply too wonderful!
He wanted it!
...
When Sally returned to the lodge, she collapsed onto the bed and didn't move.
She patted the spot where the Beast Emperor had touched her, ignoring that tingle of an odd sensation, and asked Xiaoi, "[This Beast Emperor doesn't really want to bear his child, does he?]"
"[Yes. We'll have to wait until after the system upgrades before it's possible.]"
"[But I don't really want to, how should I put it... I feel he's not quite suitable.]"
"[Host, just find a male that you feel connected with.]"
"[You're not pushing anymore?]"
"[The Host is different from previous hosts, Xiaoi doesn't need to interfere too much.]"
"[How many hosts have you had before?]"
"[Nineteen. Host, you are the twentieth.]"
"[...]"
A 'boom'—an explosion sounded from the direction of the lodge's guest room.
Sally imdiately got up and ran towards the door.
Bai Kaixin and Little Xianzi had already arrived, as well as a strange male that Sally did not recognize.
Sally hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know either, Sister Sally you're back," Bai Kaixin replied.
Sally nodded and then looked at the unfamiliar male, "Who is he?"
"The cook, the lodge had found one before, but he suddenly disappeared. So they found another one, Yellow Rank, Earth Elent. Just like Sister Sally, from the Rat Clan."
"What a coincidence," Sally said, sizing the man up. He had a pair of shrewd eyes, average height, and a clean set of features that grew on you, "What's your na?"
"Lu Ping."
"Alright, I'll call you Little Lu. Work hard and there will be a bonus."
"Thank you, Sister Sally."
The room where the explosion occurred was on the corner, and the next room happened to be empty, so no other guests were injured.
As long as no one was injured, the problem wasn't serious.
Lu Ping, with his Earth Elent Secret Technique, imdiately repaired the room.
Sally said to Bai Kaixin, "This Innate Secret Technique is very practical. Rember to give a bonus at the end of the month."
"Yes, Sister Sally," Bai Kaixin agreed as well.
Little Xianzi checked the cause of the explosion, "Sister Sally, this looks like a self-destruction? It's all charred pieces of beast bodies."
Sally replied, "Hmm, there was a Phantom Demon Beast living here. The explosions within the Imperial Capital are all caused by Phantom Demon Beasts."
This childbearing virus is indeed vicious!
This will probably deal a heavy blow to the Dark Continent's vitality.
But the Beast World Continent has also been unlucky, losing many females with dium or higher Fertility Strength.
There were already few females on the continent, even fewer of dium or higher ranks. Now, it's almost as if an entire generation has been cut off.
According to the Beast Emperor's plan, he had previously led people to the Dark Continent, aiming for the Demon Extermination Clan, and they were high-ranking mbers of the Demon Clan.
Now, the self-destruction of the Phantom Demon Beast, although it made him pause his plan, he was bound to launch another attack once the self-destruction ended. This was an act of vengeance for the loss of a female, a bitter resentnt that the males of the entire continent could not swallow.
"Sister Sally, look outside." Bai Kaixin opened the window to let Sally see.
A squad of armor-clad Imperial Capital guards patrolled the streets, led by Pei Xuan, who also held a Little Black Panther in his arms.
Sally frowned slightly, wondering why Xiaohao was also there, and then called out, "Pei Xuan, give your son."
Upon hearing her voice, Pei Xuan imdiately looked over.
Xiaohao struggled directly, wanting to be with Sally, "Mom—Mom—hug!"
Sally was filled with distress, her voice inevitably carrying an interrogative tone, "Pei Xuan, you're executing official duties, why bring your son? Can you protect him if there's danger?"
"I feel at ease with him following ," Pei Xuan held his son back, not letting him go to Sally.
Sally instantly got angry, hands on hips, glaring at him, "Imdiately! Right now! Give your son, and I'll return him once you've completed your duties. If you don't, do you believe I could take him away unnoticed just like last ti, and you wouldn't be able to find him?"
Pei Xuan fell silent.
Because Sally indeed possessed that ability, she could even co back from death!
In the end, he lowered his head and let go of his son.
Xiaohao ran towards the inn without looking back, not even sparing a glance at his father.
After a mont of silence, Pei Xuan looked up at Sally again, "I will co to pick him up later."
"Go ahead, go ahead," Sally waved her hand, urging him to leave quickly.
Xiaohao had already run to her side, lightly leaping into her embrace, vigorously licking Sally's cheek, displaying extre affection.
Pei Xuan watched for a while before leading his n away.
Sally then released Manman from the System Space and introduced the two to each other.
"This is your fifth sister; her nickna is Manman, her full na is Ming Yuzhen."
"Manman, this is your big brother; his nickna is Xiaohao, full na Pei Yunyang."
"Big brother?" Manman's hair tuft tilted quizzically as she amusingly stared at Xiaohao.
Xiaohao lifted his paw and scratched the tuft on her head, "Manman, from now on, your big brother's got your back."
"Oh, thank you, big brother." Manman moved forward to rub against Xiaohao.
Xiaohao flopped down on the ground, exposing his soft belly.
Manman pounced right over to his belly, pecking and jumping with joy.
Watching her children play together, Sally suddenly missed the three children in the Western District. She wondered what they looked like now.
One of them was from the Rat Clan, just like her original body.
She hoped they were all safe and sound. They didn't need to be particularly outstanding or have extraordinary talents; as long as they were healthy and happy, that was enough.
These three children, who she had carried with full expectation, were of Zulu's lineage.
Seeing Zulu in her mories brought a dull pain to her heart.
Even Xiaoi, repeatedly clearing emotional cache, could not erase it.
Perhaps, the System also had its limitations.
Just like the mark left by death.
…
The sky gradually darkened.
Sally prepared fried atballs for Manman and Xiaohao.
The two little ones showed appreciation by eating until their bellies were round and eventually fell asleep on Sally's bed.
Pei Xuan arrived, carrying so Spiritual Material with him.
"I've co to pick up Xiaohao." He handed the Spiritual Material to Sally.
Sally accepted it, "Have you eaten? There are so atballs left over, would you like so?"
"...Hmm." Pei Xuan sat down, "Thanks."
"It's no trouble, these are your son's leftovers." Sally said with a smile and then placed half a plate of atballs in front of him, along with a bowl of porridge made from Nine-Petal Lotus Root.
Pei Xuan ate quietly without saying a word.
Sally rested her chin in her hand as she watched his handso features and graceful eating manners, her lips curving up happily.
