Chapter 169: Chapter 168: Saint Rank, Commonplace Now?
He had short, tousled brown hair and a handsome face, his brows and eyes carrying a hint of a roguish, rakish air, unlike a noble, resembling more someone from the streets.
“May I ask your surname?” Sally inquired.
“No need for formalities, Jack Mahar.”
“Jack Mahar! I’ve heard of you,” Lena’s voice suddenly rose in surprise. “You’re the Beast King of the Hundred Beasts Tower!”
“…Beast King?” Sally was indeed taken aback.
[Host, he is also of Saint Rank.] Xiaomei informed Sally.
Sally was speechless: [Don’t even think about it! I’m very picky, I don’t just eat anything that someone else has touched.]
[Mhm, his beast form is a rabbit, and looking at his innate bloodline, the potential is not great, Xiaomei isn’t impressed either.] Xiaomei then shrank back dispiritedly.
A rabbit? Sally suddenly thought of Zulu, then looked at the man before her and fell silent.
Lena was quite interested, “Beast King, would you like to get acquainted with me?”
“Sure,” Jack’s gaze shifted back to Sally. “Holy Mother, I heard just a touch is enough to conceive, is that true?”
“It’s not.” Sally didn’t want to deal with him and turned to walk towards the banquet.
This tryst turned out to be quite lonely. Relying on the power of the Goulding family, Frans wouldn’t do anything. But seeing Lin Xuexue embarrassed was quite satisfying.
Lena said to Jack, “My Fertility Strength is as formidable as hers.”
“Saint Rank, can you give birth?” Jack asked.
Lena’s expression vanished instantly, and she turned to follow Sally closely.
“Sister Sally, is Saint Rank so common these days? It seems like every random person I hit on is of Saint Rank.”
“It’s not common, it’s just that everyone you happen to hit on is of Saint Rank. There are probably only a few on the Holy Capital Continent.”
“…How boring. I should just go back to my Fox Hole. My adorable Beast Husbands are waiting for me to return.”
With that one sentence, Sally grew even quieter.
Sally thought of her children and Beast Husbands, wondering how they were faring…
Frans also happened to come over to fetch Sally, hearing Lena’s words. His pupils narrowed slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.
“Yanyan,” he called softly.
When Sally saw him, she paused, then came back to her senses and smiled, “You just missed quite the spectacle.”
Looking back at Jack, she realized that he had disappeared at some point.
Frans said, “I knew they were here. The Goulding family has existed since the beginning of the Holy World Empire, so we must give them some face. But when it’s time to admonish, I will do so, ensuring you never have to face this kind of situation again.”
“Hmm, the Holy World Empire.” Sally looked at him. “Perhaps I underestimated the Holy Monarch a bit.”
“It doesn’t matter; you can just think of me as a regular Beast Husband,” Frans took her hand, “With you, I have never been any Holy Monarch.”
“Ah—how come I feel so stuffed even though I haven’t eaten anything?” Lena wore a puzzled look, passing by them to enter the banquet hall first. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Sally chuckled, “She’s thinking about going back to the Fox Hole.”
“I’ll arrange for her departure tomorrow.”
“Yes. The Holy Capital Continent is still a bit too complex for her, and although she has some wits, those tricks amount to nothing in the face of absolute power.”
…
Cassie now looked at Lena with a very cold gaze.
Since Sally was carrying Frans’s offspring, she could not act rashly for the time being, but as for Lena, she had no inhibitions whatsoever.
“Lin Xuexue might harm Lena; it’s better for her to stay in the Holy Palace,” Sally saw through Cassie.
“Okay,” Frans agreed.
Sally accompanied Frans for the opening dance and then went to the dining area to begin nourishing the two children in her stomach.
During that time, she saw Lena being forcibly taken away by Ethan.
Ethan had been eyeing Lena all night, probably unable to hold back any longer.
She had intended to open the System Map to see what might happen to them.
But in the end, she didn’t open it.
She would never hesitate with an enemy, but with friends, she respected their privacy.
Zephis Herman I had already left the birthday celebration, but several high-ranking members of the Holy Church were still being badgered by nobles seeking to drink and talk business, attempting to build alliances.
Cassie and Lilith, especially Cassie, were particularly popular. A noble female bound to the Offspring System was definitely the craze of all unmarried dignitaries on the Holy Capital Continent.
As for her, already ‘spoken for’ and with children, no males dared approach.
A woman, dressed in very lavish clothing but of quite ordinary appearance, approached her and stopped a few steps away, sizing her up.
Drinking a sip of clear soup, Sally asked, “Would you like something to eat, madam? There are utensils over there; you can help yourself.”
“No need. First let me introduce myself. I am Aria Saint Goulding, Frans’s aunt.”
Sally was surprised, then looked towards Frans, only to see that Frans was already dancing with Lilith.
Their movements were not intimate, in fact, somewhat distant, but Lilith’s face was full of a blissful smile.
“Lilith was originally to be engaged to Frans. Your arrival has disrupted everything.”
“That was not my choice.” It was your dear nephew who begged for it.
“I don’t want to beat around the bush with you. The Holy Monarch is only interested in your belly. After that litter of pups in your stomach is born, I will give you a substantial sum of money, enough to last you a lifetime, to leave Frans.”
“Leaving is not out of the question. But I don’t want money, I want Fertility Points. All of Cassie’s Fertility Points, I want them all!” Sally looked at Aria, “Make it now, I might change my mind after tonight.”
“Agreed,” Aria answered on behalf of Cassie.
Fertility Points were only available to females during the Holy War. But in the end, only three remained who kept their Fertility Points.
It wasn’t long before Aria came back, frowning at Sally, “Choose another condition.”
“Then forget it,” Sally couldn’t be bothered with her anymore.
Lena had said, her Fertility Points were mainly saved up to buy Elixirs and such, upgrading the Offspring System, which did not require Fertility Points, only the number of offspring.
During the Holy War, Cassie was particularly ruthless, especially after killing Kaya Orphislo, her points had nearly reached a hundred million.
She needed Fertility Points, and she really wanted Cassie’s points.
But if she wouldn’t give them, Sally wouldn’t force her.
Aria walked away again.
This time, when Sally was almost full, Aria returned with Cassie in tow.
“A thousand Fertility Points,” Aria said, “as soon as the child is born, leave the Holy Capital Continent immediately.”
Sally thought she had heard wrong and looked at Cassie.
Cassie’s face was dark and grim, “These Fertility Points were exchanged with my life. How could I possibly give them to you?”
“Indeed. You know that’s impossible, so why ask me to leave my husband and child?” Sally glanced lightly at Aria.
But to Aria, that look was mocking, and anger rose from her heart, “What kind of look is that?”
