Chapter 305: Chapter 303: The Beast Emperor is Bewildered!
…
[Host, wake up! It’s time to have the baby!]
[Is there a reward?]
[Yes! By returning to the embrace of the Main System, host, this childbirth will bring you great rewards!]
[Little Shiliu’s Talent was so good, how come there were no rewards for it?]
[Xiaomei also feels it’s a pity, a True Spiritual Body, that’s a type of fetal form only the Ancient Gods had.]
Sally, in the form of a tiny mouse, poked her head out of a hole.
It was a great regret that she couldn’t save her eight brothers and her mother.
Moreover, she discovered that after being summoned back to the Beast World and merging with her original body, the Level of the Offspring System had been reset, from God Rank all the way down to the bottom! System points—zero!
Luckily, the Divine Embryo inside her remained, otherwise she would have coughed up blood!
[Xiaomei, first take me to the Beast Emperor’s Palace. As the Divine Embryo descends, if there are any natural phenomena, let Zi Qi protect the child. Also, check if his memory has recovered?]
[Alright, host.]
…
Eastern District, Beast Emperor Capital.
Beast Emperor Zi Qi had a big problem; he was infertile, a heaven-defying lack of offspring!
Since he came of age, he had never been involved with females, not that he was abnormal, but he just had no desire when encountering females.
Of course, he was also disinterested in males…
This was vexing for many of his Beast Clan officials.
“Your Majesty, a few new Witch Priests have been invited to the palace; you might try their skills.”
The subtext being, what if it worked.
“If it succeeds, I will promote you one rank higher and reward you handsomely.”
Zi Qi held no hope at all.
But he still tried his luck and went to see them.
The result was the same as the previous Witch Priests had said; there was nothing wrong with his body, and mentally he was also fine, maybe his fate had not yet arrived.
Fate? Humph!
Nothing but a bunch of superstitious nonsense.
Just when he returned to his sleeping quarters and was ready to rest, he suddenly found a pregnant female lying on his bed.
“…” Zi Qi’s face immediately darkened, “Yu Yan, who let her in? Are they seeking the clan’s destruction!”
They all knew he could not conceive, yet they brought a pregnant female deliberately to provoke him!
“Destroy your head! Come and deliver the baby!” Sally, trembling with pain, shouted.
Zi Qi was flustered, “What did you say?”
“Deliver the baby, who else will deliver your child if not you, or should we find a Witch Priest?”
It seemed Zi Qi’s memory had not yet recovered.
[Host, the memories of the Beast Husbands are all stored in the Insurance System. That system requires Saint Rank to be accessed. Come on, host, give birth!]
[What, what?!]
“Ah——” Sally cried out in surprise and pain.
[The children are all inside too!]
[Xiaomei!]
[No choice, only the Insurance System can safely store everything even if the system is destroyed or the world collapses. Don’t worry, they are all playing games right now, and when they’re tired, they return to their egg pods to sleep. With your previous upgrade speed, you’ll quickly reach Saint Rank.]
[Xiaomei! You! You know how to infuriate people!!!]
Setting aside who this pregnant female was, it looked like she was really about to give birth. Zi Qi immediately ordered his people to summon the Witch Priest.
Sally glowered indignantly at Zi Qi, though in reality, she was still fuming over Xiaomei…
Zi Qi felt a shiver down his spine under her glare. Had he done something to her at some point? But the child could definitely not be his.
He had lived for so many years he had lost count, but if there was one thing he was clear on, it was whether he had ever touched a female and, really, the spirit was willing, but the flesh was truly weak!
Sally crooked her finger, “Your Majesty, come here.”
“Not coming!” Zi Qi not only refused to go over, but he also turned around and ran.
Upon exiting, he ran into the Witch Priest and quickly pointed inside, his voice stuttering a bit, “There’s… there’s a pregnant female inside, hurry… hurry and help her give birth, and send her away immediately.”
Sally heard what Zi Qi said at the door and instantly exploded with rage, “Zi Qi! Don’t you regret this!”
Zi Qi was quite sure that, without his knowledge, he must have flirted with this pregnant female. That confident tone of voice must have been genuine.
Golden wisps of cloud began to gradually appear in the sky.
Zi Qi, with his keen senses, immediately noticed the phenomenon in the sky and teleported to the top of the palace, frowning in thought.
Yu Yan appeared beside him, “Your Majesty, does this look like an auspicious cloud?”
“Who’s ascending to godhood?” Otherwise, where would such auspicious clouds come from?
“It seems to envelop Your Majesty’s bedchamber.”
“My bedchamber only has one pregnant female about to give birth… Pregnant female? Could it be!” Zi Qi’s face turned pale.
Yu Yan became quite serious as well, “This pregnant female and Your Majesty…”
Zi Qi was certain, “Absolutely no relation whatsoever.”
“Then how could she be giving birth in Your Majesty’s bedchamber?”
“…” Zi Qi was at a loss for words, “Forget it, let’s just say the child is mine. After all, I have no children, gaining one for free is a huge deal!”
With this thought, he suddenly felt much more affectionate when he looked at the auspicious cloud.
Yu Yan: “… It does sound like something Your Majesty would do.”
One couldn’t tell if it was the Beast Emperor’s magnanimity at play, or sheer madness from longing for a child. But it was clear the child soon to be born was far from ordinary, and perhaps only the Beast Emperor could handle it.
…
Sally rubbed her round belly, which was occasionally pushed out by a leg, or perhaps a head, from inside… And with every push, she experienced such pain that she felt her breath might stop!
Now Xiaomei couldn’t open the System Store, let alone use the Pregnancy Elixir—the energy required to bring her here was all she had left.
There was no more help to offer; Sally had to brave childbirth on her own.
But this child, for her newly acquired body, was a firstborn!
And it was going to be torturous.
“Zi Qi, I hate you!” Sally screamed.
Zi Qi, who stood on the palace roof watching the auspicious cloud, looked truly innocent… Was there something wrong in him embracing fatherhood so enthusiastically?
Yu Yan felt that this pregnant female wasn’t faking it; with her eternally youthful and delicate babyface, she sent a glance towards Zi Qi that seemed reserved for scumbags.
Zi Qi felt wronged: “… What is that look for?”
Yu Yan shook his head, “Your Majesty, don’t deny it. Listen to how she’s calling out, using your full name—it’s a cry from the heart!”
In truth, Zi Qi had reviewed his many millennia of memories several times, but he genuinely hadn’t touched a single female! He hadn’t even eaten a female beast!
Outside the palace gates, numerous members of the Beast Clan knelt, praying for the Beast Emperor’s offspring to be born smoothly and to bless the people of the Eastern District with prosperity and growth.
At Divine Beast Academy, a Heaven Rank teenage student walked out of the library with a cocksure swagger, his school jacket open and a few books in hand.
His short hair, fiery red, and silver earrings shining brilliantly, he wore a thin silver necklace around his neck, and his handsome face lifted up to gaze at the auspicious cloud in the sky.
A thrum of excitement suddenly arose from the depths of his heart, as if something unknown yet profoundly important was happening.
“Sili, come over here,” Master Zong called out to the teenage student.
“What’s that?” Zong Silu pointed at the auspicious cloud in the sky.
Master Zong replied, “Our eternal bachelor Majesty is about to have an heir. The Dean wants us both to make a trip to the Imperial Palace.”
