Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 105 - 104 Can I Hold Your Hand?

"Don't pay attention to him." Wen Yixin was afraid Sally might be fooled by Rong Ruo's appearance, "He's just good-looking, nothing else.

"His talent is pretty good, right? In this recruitment, his talent was the highest."

"Is that so?" Wen Yixin didn't know this and didn't care either. As long as the talent didn't surpass Zong Silu, she wouldn't take notice.

"Alright, let's go to class. We can't miss my uncle's class."

"Your uncle? Isn't that Elder Zong?"

"You're already calling him 'Dad,' and yet you're not married. Sister Sally, that's a bit improper."

"...Haha~" Sally laughed awkwardly.

...

In the tiered classroom, more than a hundred male students were talking loudly.

The arrival of females made the noisy classroom instantly so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Especially Sally, who was the center of attention.

She was the super fertile female who had given birth to a Heaven Rank talent, truly a miracle.

And she looked so beautiful, not at all like someone who had given birth. Typically, after giving birth, a female's body would lose its shape, becoming fat and loose. But she didn't show any of that.

All sorts of gazes were directed at Sally.

"Ahem—" Elder Zong coughed and said to Sally and Wen Yixin, "Please sit down, right in front of the podium is fine."

Sally thought to herself, Isn't this spot right under the teacher's nose? Heaven for the top students, hell for the underachievers...

Wen Yixin usually sat here, so she was used to it. She pulled Sally to sit down, then took out the textbook from the drawer and showed Sally, "I don't need to read it, you can have it."

"Oh, thank you." Sally replied, then opened the textbook.

Elder Zong's class was remarkably detailed and full of enthusiasm, without a hint of impatience.

Sally, however, would soon be called upon to answer if she understood everything.

If she didn't understand, that was alright; he could break down the questions even further, explaining them again in finer detail.

By the end of this class, even the slow learners understood!

Elder Zong even extended the class by more than half an hour, only ending it when the next teacher became impatient.

But after class, he called Sally to his office.

Sally thought there was some issue, but it turned out he just wanted to offer her water, concerned she might be thirsty from answering questions in class.

After drinking the water, Sally remembered Little Lushu, still fast asleep in the System Space, and said, "I'll bring Putao over during the break. Elder Zong must be missing his little grandchild."

"Yes, yes, I'll look forward to it." Elder Zong's face turned red with excitement.

"The next class is on amulets, something I really want to learn, so I'll head to the classroom first. See you later, Elder Zong."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Once Sally had left, Elder Zong was immediately surrounded.

"I heard that! Little grandchild, huh? This time you have to let us see."

"Alright, I'll show you."

"I'm so envious. I don't even have a son or daughter yet, and you're already hugging a grandchild."

"It seems there's no need to focus on Fertility Strength when looking for females. Even those without it might give birth."

...

The library.

Rong Ruo sat by the window, his book unchanged for a long while, his gaze fixed outside.

After encountering Sally, he had come here to wait for her.

He was uncertain about what she wanted to say to him.

Last time, she had said she didn't want to see him again. Yet here he was because he had no other attachments and could leave this world.

A delicate figure hurried along the small path.

Rong Ruo's lips revealed a faint smile.

Perhaps he was not completely indifferent to this world after all, for the figure that was never meant to be his had captured his final glance.

Sally looked up at the sun above her, which had tilted toward the direction of two o'clock.

She had been so engrossed in drawing amulets that she lost track of time.

If Elder Zong had not come to pick up his grandson, she would still be drawing.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Putao could already run and jump, incredibly lively, but Elder Zong couldn't bear to let his precious grandson tire himself out and insisted on carrying him away.

Only then did Sally remember about Rong Ruo.

...

Almost running into the library, Sally looked around rapidly.

There weren't many people in the library at this time, and Rong Ruo was sitting at a conspicuous seat by the window.

Seeing that he had also noticed her, Sally waved to him, signaling for him to come out and talk.

Rong Ruo closed the book, taking one last look at the title 'The Rainbow's Spring, Dancing Across the Stars!'

Sally hurriedly explained, "Drawing amulets takes quite a bit of time, I'm sorry, so sorry."

Rong Ruo extended his hand, "Then as compensation, may I hold your hand? I've never held a female's hand before."

Sally was taken aback, but considering what she was about to discuss with him, holding hands was nothing; they might have to be even closer.

"I don't want to affect you and Zong Silu, so let's go somewhere else," Rong Ruo said as he took Sally's hand, and in the next moment, they were standing in a forest.

Sally opened the System Map and realized they were in the Primordial Beast Forest.

Hand in hand, Rong Ruo led Sally to a giant tree that required three people to encircle, which had a tree house built upon it.

Rong Ruo took her by the hand, flew to the front of the tree house, and pushed the door open...

Inside was a person.

He had the same facial features as Rong Ruo, but his demeanor made it clear it wasn't him, with a slightly furrowed brow and a rebellious, untameable air.

"Is he... Rong Wu?" Sally exclaimed in shock.

Rong Ruo shut the door again and, taking her with him, they flew down from the tree and started walking slowly.

"Mhm, I split the dual beast body. Now he is an independent individual and no longer has to be restrained by me."

"Then you... what are you?" Sally asked, astonished.

"He chose to be a Land Beast. In the Eastern District, the Water Beast Clan is not welcomed, and moreover, they always yearn for water."

"Oh. So the two of you are separated now?"

"Yes."

"..." Sally frowned, feeling like she was overlooking something important.

"What did you want to tell me?" Rong Ruo asked.

Sally looked at him, especially at his face, then glanced down at their intertwined fingers, licked her lips, and said, "It's still the same, I want to have your dumplings."

"You..." Rong Ruo thought he had misheard.

"I want to have a little mermaid for you! Do you want it?" She used to be wary of Rong Wu, but now that they were separated, she had no worries. Moreover, with the Holy War approaching, she needed to act quickly to conceive.

Plus, having a child with him would hopefully make him less despondent about this world.

A child represents hope!

If life truly lacked purpose, having a child crying for care would at least give one a reason to keep going.

Rong Ruo did not respond to Sally's proposition, only his head slightly bowed, his grip on her hand gradually loosening.

[Congratulations, host, you have received a gift of lifespan totaling one thousand three hundred sixty-two years, three months, and seven days.] Xiaomei's voice echoed in Sally's mind.

[A gift of lifespan?] Sally was stunned, and then, as if struck by inspiration, remembered what she had overlooked.
