Chapter 273: Chapter 271: The Midwifery Beast Husband
Sally was getting a bit anxious, why hadn’t they come in yet? Could it be that the Teleportation Scroll wasn’t working properly?
Just as she was worried, Zhu Sanlang appeared, holding three children in his arms.
Seeing Sally with a big stomach again, Zhu Sanlang was not surprised; after all, this was her method of cultivation, which could make her even more powerful.
And pursuing strength was the most righteous cause.
“Looks like you’re about to give birth,” Zhu Sanlang said with a smile.
“Could happen at any time,” Sally took the three children from his arms, kissed each one, and then looked at Little Shier.
He had grown a size larger and even gotten chubbier since she last saw him, so plump and round.
Name—Zhu Su Yunrui.
Health—100%
Personality—Gentle.
Talent—Above Saint Rank.
Secret Technique—Unawakened.
…
Sally looked at Little Shier, “You’ve been raised well, nice and chubby, full of meatiness.”
“It’s all thanks to Great Uncle who has been taking care of him. He said to focus on growing his body first, not in a hurry to develop his talents. Also, Father has passed the Clan Leader position to me, and he is now devoted to his cultivation. The other elders, on the other hand, have become more active, now running the family academy and leading disciples.”
“Hmm. Did you go to the wedding of the White Tiger Clan’s young Clan Leader?”
“I did, guess who the bride was?”
“Where would I go to guess that.”
“The Saintess of Qingluan Palace.”
“Ah?… No wonder that day, the White Tiger Clan didn’t stand up for Zhu Qihong; they must have been glad for the wedding to fall through, ready to reap the benefits of the fisherman.”
“The two of them have known each other since they were kids, just never acknowledged it,” Zhu Sanlang looked at her pregnant belly, “The fox’s?”
“Yes,” Sally patted her stomach, “I didn’t mean to get involved with him. It just happened by accident. Having him become a Beast Husband would mean less trouble, and besides, having a little Divine Beast to be a younger brother to Yunrui wouldn’t be too bad.”
“Hehe, Great Uncle said that as long as Qing Linghuan doesn’t side with Lan Shi, it shouldn’t be too bad,” Zhu Sanlang lifted his head as he spoke.
In the sky, Manman was flying towards Zhu Sanlang, “Uncle Three—”
“Manman.” Zhu Sanlang stretched out his hand and caught Manman.
Xiaojiu, chubby and a bit strained in flight, flying low, finally landed on Zhu Sanlang’s shoulder, following Manman’s call, he shouted, “Uncle Three.”
Zhu Sanlang smiled very happily, “Manman has grown a bit, Xiaojiu should lose some weight.”
Having taken care of the young whelps himself, they all still remembered him, which felt good.
With extra hands around, Sally immediately wanted to delegate, “That, I’d like some roasted meat made by you Sanlang, vegetable and meat porridge, and mixed cold fruits and vegetables.”
“Alright, I’ll go look for the ingredients,” Zhu Sanlang, holding Manman and carrying Xiaojiu on his shoulder, was ready to leave.
At this moment, Xiaoqi was perched on Putao’s head, and the other cubs also came over when they heard the noise.
Seeing a strange uncle had arrived, Xiaoqi’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Mother, who is this uncle?”
“He is your twelfth brother Little Yunrui’s Father Beast, called Uncle Three,” Sally introduced to Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi stood up, politely greeted Zhu Sanlang, “Hello Uncle Three, I rank seventh, my full name is Zi Yuxi, my nickname is Xiaoqi.”
“I often hear your mother talk about you; you’re very much like your mother,” Zhu Sanlang promptly opened his Different Space, taking out many treasures, “Look, I almost forgot, what do the kids like? Choose for yourselves.”
Sally set down Xiaoshi and Little Yunrui from her arms, “Go on, you pick what you like as well.”
The little golden dragon was anxiously circling its shell, clearly wanting something too.
Zhu Sanlang took out a piece of Divine-grade Purple Crystal Gemstone, fed it to the little golden dragon, “Is this what you wanted?”
The little golden dragon was content and wiggled its little tail satisfactorily.
Sally couldn’t help but beam with joy. “How did I give birth to a bunch of little money-grubbers?”
Zhu Sanlang looked toward his son, who had also become much livelier, darting back and forth among those treasure boxes, and laughed, “As you wish.”
“What?” Sally was speechless, “I’m certainly not greedy for money.”
“You’re not greedy for money, you’re infatuated with love,” Zhu Sanlang said, looking at her meaningfully.
Sally’s face slowly turned red…
By nightfall, Sally stayed with the children for a while before getting up and leaving the room.
Zhu Sanlang was outside tidying up things.
Upon seeing Sally come out, he hurried over to support her, “Why don’t you rest with them?”
Sally touched her belly. “These past two days it’s been moving fiercely; it might be born soon.”
“I’ll help you deliver.”
“Heh, you’re about to become my exclusive beast husband midwife,” Sally joked.
Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Little Shiyi, Little Shier, and this unborn child.
“It’s my honor,” Zhu Sanlang said as he assisted her on a stroll.
Being a beast cultivator with a mouse form, Sally actually found moonlight more comfortable than sunlight.
“Would you like to eat something?” Zhu Sanlang noticed that during this pregnancy, Sally rarely ate.
Sally shook her head, “I’m not hungry.”
Before Qing Linghuan left, he had prepared a heap of divine natural treasures for her. She didn’t know where he had scavenged them from, but eating just a few would keep her sated.
“The Insect Clan has invaded Beast World. The Demon Realm has also heard about it,” Zhu Sanlang said.
“There hasn’t been an invasion here, has there?” Sally paused her steps.
“Currently, there’s no sign of them in the Demon Realm. However, there are many from the Beast Clan who are of the God Rank, practically every large clan has them. If these insect beasts come, and they surely will, they won’t be able to stay.”
Sally remembered when Little Yunrui was born, the granting of Divine Status indeed brought many of God Rank, including some at the pinnacle of Saint Rank beast cultivators.
“If only there wasn’t a barrier between the two realms, the might of the Demon Realm could cross over to protect the entire world.”
“Great Uncle said that before the Holy War started, the realms didn’t have such difficult barriers to cross.”
“The Holy War was initiated by the System. The System, the Insect Clan… it seems the System has been infected by an Insect Beast virus, allowing these creatures to invade through the System’s tendrils. Because of the barrier, the System hasn’t extended its reach here, so the Insect Clan hasn’t appeared in the Demon Realm either.”
It appeared to fulfill Qing Linghuan’s prophecy that only a powerful being could step in and snuff out the source of the insects within the System itself.
[Xiaomei?]
[Host, what can I do for you?]
[The influx of the Insect Clan to the System’s continent, does it affect you?] After all, Xiaomei is a part of the System; if the Insect Clan invaded through the System, Xiaomei might also be attacked.
[Xiaomei has checked. During the initial invasion of the Insect Clan, the Offspring System was attacked 3,915 times. However, due to the host’s pregnancy, the system’s defenses are at their highest level, so there’s no need to worry about safety.]
[What did you find out about that insect?]
[It has a very strong reproductive ability, maintaining its fertility even within the Different Space.]
“Yanyan?” Zhu Sanlang saw Sally silent and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m fine.” Sally looked up at the moon; it felt as if the baby had turned over in her belly, bringing on a wave of intense discomfort.
Sally held her breath in an attempt to cope with the discomfort, and it wasn’t until it passed that she let out a sigh of relief, “It should be in the next three to five days.”
“Take a longer rest after you give birth this time,” Zhu Sanlang told Sally.
Sally nodded, “Alright.”
Zhu Sanlang bent down to pick her up, “Let’s go back to your room to rest.”
“Hmm.” Sally put her arms around his neck, pressing her face against his chest, lulled by the steady beat of his heart, and sleep overcame her before she even made it to the bed.
Zhu Sanlang made sure she was covered with the blanket and couldn’t help but lean down to kiss her lips, a small solace for his longing…
