Chapter 384: Chapter 382: Father Beast!
All the other brothers and sisters have their biological Father Beasts, but for them, their Father Beast had died since they could remember.
Although their mother gave them enough love, and the other uncles and aunts also showered them with affection, especially Old Mistress Ming, who gave them the grandparental love they lost from their grandparents, the one thing they lacked was a Father Beast. That was a luxury they longed for deep in their hearts.
They wanted to know what their Father Beast looked like, whether he would be like Brother Xiaohao’s dad, carrying them on his back to hunt in Beast Forest, telling them his adventure stories at night, teaching them lessons, and growing up with them.
Zulu walked in with the box, carrying the well-tied wild buffalo, taking big strides into the courtyard.
His handsome and deep facial features, tall and muscular physique, the smooth muscle lines of his half-exposed arms, brimming with explosive strength, caused many female members of the Rat Clan to faint as they screamed when they saw him running along the way…
Sally looked at Zulu with a soft and charming smile, “Hi~ Zulu, long time no see.”
As Zulu looked at Sally, it was as if something struck his forehead, and then his mind was filled with a segment of memories he had never known!
It was as though another him and Sally lived together, they had offspring together, and then he was killed by Demon Beasts… When the Insect Clan attacked the Dark Continent, no Beast Clans were spared!
Time reversed ten thousand years, and she came to the Rat Tribe again, and he met her once again…
The children were his!
From ten thousand years ago, the offspring he and she had together!
Zulu dropped the box and the wild buffalo he was holding, looking at Sally and the three children who had grown up so much before he had the chance to raise them.
“Yanyan, I’m sorry!”
‘Bang!’ Zulu knelt down on both knees, “I wasn’t there for you when you needed me the most.”
“It’s all in the past now.” Sally let Xiaomei transmit the part of her memories about Zulu and the changes over time to Zulu through a memory bullet.
“Go on,” Sally patted the back of the three children, “He is your Father Beast.”
Although they were somewhat reserved and shy, the longing for their Father Beast and the familial affection stemming from their blood bonds overcame everything, and all three children ran towards Zulu.
Auro, being older, couldn’t bear such scenes and tears streamed down, “Good, good, the family is united now.”
Lin Lang laughed, “I’ve never seen Brother Zulu so emotional before.”
Robby called him out directly, “When Ashley had her first child, didn’t you cry too, bro?”
Lin Lang grabbed his shoulder in a swift motion, “Come on, let’s go to the wine cellar and get some good wines, we can’t be stingy today.”
Robby, “Those wines were prepared for today.”
“I’ll tie up the buffalo in the pen first.” Auro took the buffalo and also took the opportunity to leave, giving space for their family of five to talk.
…
“My folks don’t remember those things, you don’t need to mention it,” Sally told Zulu.
“Yeah, I got it.” Zulu hugged the three children, walking in circles in the yard, as if he held the entire world in his arms!
Sally had been keeping an eye on the emotional changes of the three children and saw that they did not show any strange resistance to Zulu during their first meeting. On the contrary, they fully accepted Zulu.
[This is the natural affection of offspring towards the Father Beast.] Xiaomei spoke to Sally.
[Why didn’t I feel this way when I first met Xiaohao?]
[In Beast World, the females often process information in multiple aspects. Among the most important factors, is instinct, the desire to find a stronger male to bear stronger offspring, naturally dilutes the processing of information for raising offspring. For females bound to the Offspring System, this dilution is even more enhanced, intensifying the sense of duty to bear stronger offspring, an irresistible instinct.]
[Hmm.] Sally looked at Zulu, [What’s his Talent now?]
[Does the host want to have a second child with Zulu?] Xiaomei asked. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Sally looked at Zulu’s robust and powerful male body and laughed, [I don’t see why not.]
“He is now at the Earth Rank Talent.” Xiaomei replied, “The rewards you get for having a second child with him wouldn’t be nearly as much or as good as the ones from having a child with Zhu Sanlang.”
“Having children isn’t necessarily just for points and rewards. But now that you already have several children, you don’t need data for giving birth below the God Rank, so you might as well not have any more.”
But that didn’t affect her and Zulu’s joy, like newlyweds reconnecting after a long separation!
“Alright, host, Little Fengning is hungry. Xiaomei will feed him.” Xiaomei’s voice sounded very cheerful.
“Hmm, you really do love looking after children.” Well-deserved for the Offspring System.
…
Zulu had been shocked for quite a while after learning about the talents of the three children and hadn’t closed his mouth.
“How is that possible?”
“Isn’t the reality right before your eyes?”
“Frost at Spirit Rank! Yona and Shishi at Profound Rank?!”
“Yes,” Sally nodded.
Yona replied, “Little sister Shiwu is still a Divine Beast at the God Rank.”
Zulu was startled, “What did you say, Xuanyu?!”
Shishi pulled Yona to one side, “Didn’t we agree not to talk about our other siblings?”
Yona quickly covered her mouth.
Sally patted Yona’s head and handed her a Little Storage Bag filled with ingredients, “Take these to grandpa and tell him to prepare some extra dishes tonight.”
“Okay.” Yona ran off towards the kitchen with the Storage Bag.
Yohanes and Frost exchanged a glance, and also followed her.
“The children are all very sensible.” Zulu touched his neck with a naive gesture.
“It’s all thanks to their fathers’ teaching. I just reap the benefits.” Sally walked to the corner of the courtyard, where a fruit tree with half-green half-orange fruits stood, picked a fruit, and sniffed it… only the scent of green fruit, without sweetness, not yet ripe.
Zulu followed her, feeling somewhat at a loss. His nervousness eased a bit when the children were around, but now that it was just the two of them, the air seemed to thin, and his face blushed slightly, “That’s a Hongli Fruit. When fully ripe, the fruit turns orange-red. If you want to eat it, I can pick some ripe ones for you tomorrow.”
“That would be nice.” Sally readily agreed.
Zulu fidgeted with his clothes, “I’ll go find some for you now.”
“There’s no need.” Sally stepped closer to him, looking up, “Stay tonight.”
Zulu’s face turned completely red, “I-I could make a trip to the market; they might still be selling them.”
Sally took his hand, “I won’t eat the ones bought from the market. Tomorrow morning, you take the three children into the Beast Forest to pick fruits. They’ve always longed to romp around in the Beast Forest led by a Father Beast.”
“Mhm, I will make up for what they’ve missed out on. Whatever other children have, they will have too.”
“That’s more than enough.” Sally embraced him.
Thinking he hadn’t bathed after returning from the hunt and was covered in sweat, Zulu hurriedly pushed her away, “I should take a wash; I’m all sweaty and smelly.”
Sally laughed. He was talented in both the Water and Wood Elements, and those of the Water Element loved cleanliness and could always keep themselves fresh and clean.
Taking a bath was just an excuse; he was too nervous. When she hugged him earlier, his body was stiff as a stone.
‘Knock knock knock—’ The sound of knocking echoed once again.
