Chapter 330: Chapter 328: Mutant Offspring Virus
“Why is there still another one?” Sally frowned.
“It’s a virus within the Offspring System, and it accompanied us to the Beast World Continent. Xiaomei also looked for it and failed to detect its presence.
This is a very cunning mutant offspring virus, which I have already mentioned to the Main System. The Main System wants its mutation data, believing it might be related to the Insect Clan. That’s why it granted me the authority to utilize the Main System’s power, to extract the complete mutation data before eliminating it.”
“Related to Insect Beasts?” A deep disdain flashed in Sally’s eyes.
“Yes. Actually, even if the Main System hadn’t requested it, Xiaomei would want its mutation data.”
“…You want to use it in your own game development, right?”
“The host is smart.”
“Tsk, just your little schemes. But previously, it also seemed to be around this time that the offspring virus began its assault on the Beast World Continent, creating many Phantom Demon Beasts.”
“Host, do you remember where the offspring virus is located? Let’s go kill it.”
“I remember, we’ll go tonight.”
Seeing Sally frown at her, Sun Manrou also darkened her expression. A mere member of the Rat Clan, of lowly birth—had she not bore a child for His Majesty, would she have been able to enter the Divine Beast Academy?
“Sally, what do you mean?”
“Hm?” Sally came back to her senses, seeing Sun Manrou speaking to her, and said, “What’s wrong with me?” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
“You frown upon looking at me, what does that mean?” Sun Manrou became even more angry.
Zi Qiaoqiao had been instructed by Zi Qi to take good care of Sally, so no matter what the situation, she couldn’t let Sally feel wronged in her presence.
“Sun Manrou, when did Sally frown at you? You must be seeing things, right Liu Qianxi?”
Liu Qianxi always followed Zi Qiaoqiao’s lead and, regardless of the truth, spoke up, “Right, Manrou, are you seeing things?”
Dongfang Yan did see Sally frown at Sun Manrou, even a hint of disgust flashed at the bottom of her eyes which was why Sun Manrou reacted so strongly.
But since Zi Qiaoqiao was protecting Sally, she pretended to be unaware.
Wen Yixin didn’t pay much attention, but still offered some words of comfort, “Manrou, are you sensitive because you’re on your period? Sister Sally doesn’t even know you; if she frowned, maybe it’s for another reason.”
Before Sally could speak, these people were already defending her, a surprise indeed.
“Wen is right; I was actually thinking about something else. The Little Prince seemed to drink less milk yesterday, I’m a bit worried.”
“Speaking of the Little Prince, Sister Sally, what level is your Fertility Strength? They say His Majesty has a Spirit Rank peak talent, and even those with Superior Fertility might not conceive His Majesty’s offspring.”
“That’s probably related to my own talent.”
“Talent? Could it be?”
From Sally’s fingertips, a small flame emerged, “I have the Fire Attribute Talent.”
With this alone, all female students except Sun Manrou were impressed, because they may have Fertility Strength but lacked talent.
After all, it is extremely rare for females to have talent, and those with talent may not have Fertility Strength. To have both is even more exceptional.
Zi Qiaoqiao enviously said, “In our Divine Beast Academy, this intake didn’t have a single male with Fire Attribute Talent, I didn’t expect that one among our females would have it.”
There was no comparison; talent is innate, and they could only blame their parents for not giving them any talent at birth.
Sally looked at Zi Qiaoqiao, recalling after her marriage to the Northern Region, how despite initially acting capricious and troublesome, she later bore three litters, six offspring, for her Beast Husband, which made her greatly valued by her husband’s family. Though in a land of ice and snow, she was far from past conflicts and controversies, enjoying her own splendor until the final restart of time.
“Zi Qi, look over there, there are so many males watching.” She’s ‘taken’, so presumably no one would want to compete with the Beast Emperor for a female. They must be gazing at all those delicate and noble females.”
Zi Qiaoqiao instantly reverted to her unapproachable demeanor, “Who cares about them, not one of them has the talent or the looks.”
Principal Zong Silu passed by the crowd of males, carrying a paper bag and chatting with a classmate nearby.
“Really? I think Principal Sili is quite impressive,” Sally chuckled.
Indeed, once Principal Sili was mentioned, the expression of every female changed.
“Brother Si Li is mine,” Wen Yixin was the first to declare herself.
Liu Qianxi wouldn’t hold back either, “I, I like Principal Sili too.”
Zi Qiaoqiao seemed interested but did not make it as evident, “It also depends whether Principal Zong Silu likes any of you. And, let me tell you some good news!”
“What good news?” Liu Qianxi was Zi Qiaoqiao’s close sidekick, immediately continuing the topic, determined not to let it drop.
Sally probably knew what she was going to say…
“Principal Zong Silu has incredibly high talent and has already reached the Spirit Rank. You, with above-average fertility strength and you, with below-average fertility strength, should just honestly seek out other males,” Zi Qiaoqiao looked at Sun Manrou, “Pei Xuan is also of Spirit Rank, and you’ve got no chance either.”
“I have superior fertility strength. How can you say I have no chance?” Sun Manrou disagreed, “It’s just talent. I’ve heard that there are secret techniques to enhance talent.”
“What secret technique?” Wen Yixin immediately asked.
Sun Manrou said, “Want to know? It depends on my mood.”
As she spoke, she glanced towards Sally.
Sally understood that she wasn’t welcome so she gathered her things and said, “You all continue, I’ve finished breakfast, so I’ll take my leave first.”
Zi Qiaoqiao asked, “Sally, whose classes do you have today?”
“Principal Zong, Teacher Zhang, Vice Dean Zhou, and the dean’s class,” Sally replied.
“Good, let’s sit together in the dean’s class.”
“Sure, I’ll be off then.”
“See you later.”
…
After Sally left, she didn’t walk far before she stopped. Then she opened the System Map, wanting to hear what secret technique Sun Manrou would mention.
“…The secret technique is a forbidden art, I even heard it from an elder,” Sun Manrou whispered.
None of the females was afraid of a forbidden art; on the contrary, they were all very curious and gathered closer to listen.
“Sacrifice!” Sun Manrou declared.
“Sacrifice?” As a member of the royal family, Zi Qiaoqiao had insights not available to ordinary noble females, so she instantly recognized it as sorcery and stood up, making polite excuses, “I’ve also had enough to eat. I’m going to see the principal’s aunt, I’ll leave first.”
Liu Qianxi wanted to hear more, but out of habit as Zi Qiaoqiao’s follower, she eventually left with her.
Wen Yixin and Dongfang Yan were left, both still very curious to know more.
Looking at Liu Qianxi with disdain, Sun Manrou continued, “Zi Qiaoqiao is a princess, highly favored by His Majesty, so her future marriage will definitely be according to her own heart’s desire. If we don’t put in our efforts, the few good males will never be ours.”
Wen Yixin really wanted to know the secret technique, so she eagerly agreed with her, nodding repeatedly, “Right, Manrou sister has a point, we need to try harder.”
