Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 20 - 19 He was flattered.
Robby hurried in and said to Sally, "Sister, that person is here, Brother Lin Lang."
Sally was stunned, "Is he here because Ashley has given birth?"
"Haven't heard about it. The Rat Clan wouldn't hide something as important as a birth, especially not that of the Witch Clan's granddaughter. There's been no news, so she probably hasn't had the baby yet," Robby replied.
"Zulu, you come out here!" Lin Lang bellowed furiously.
Hearing his tone, which was anything but normal, Sally asked Zulu, "What's going on between you two?"
She moved to check on the situation outside.
But Zulu held her back.
Zulu said, "It's nothing, this guy has his head up his ass. I'll go take a look, and then I'll pick some fruits for you."
"Okay," Sally said rubbing her terribly hungry stomach.
She used to not be able to watch others eat raw meat, but now she ate more enthusiastically than anyone...
Ah! Next time I eat a Golden Marrow Pill, I must remember to prepare some heavenly treasures and Earthly treasures in advance.
Listenting, Sally realized the commotion outside had stopped and guessed that the two men had left the yard.
Robby looked hesitantly as if he had something to say but stopped himself.
"What's the matter, do you want to eat too?" Sally offered him the meat platter.
Robby hurriedly shook his head, "I'm good with dried meat."
Sally gobbled up another slice of raw meat and said, "So, what's up? You seem hesitant."
"It's about Brother Lin Lang. He's angry because Brother Zulu became my brother-in-law."
Sally let out a long sigh and said no more.
...
Zulu and Lin Lang didn't change their expressions until they reached the Qingmu Original Beast Forest.
Both men possessed Yellow Rank talents, evenly matched.
"You can't beat me. You still suffer from the hidden injuries left by Demon Beasts, which have reduced your current level by half a rank at least."
"How will we know without trying?" Lin Lang retorted and attacked first. The ground split open, and dozens of earth spikes, carrying a murderous energy, surrounded Zulu.
Zulu leapt onto a tall tree, and a thorny vine appeared on his wrist, entangling and countering the earth spikes.
Seeing this, Lin Lang's expression changed slightly, "You have a Wood Element talent too?"
"My Wood Element talent is even higher than my Water Element, close to the Profound Rank. So you might as well save your energy. I'm going to get some fruits for Yanyan, and we can have drinks together later," Zulu sped off into the depths of the Beast Forest.
Lin Lang did not continue to follow him.
Truth be told, he wasn't really in a position to compete with him; he, an Earth Element user, stood no chance against a Dual-Element Talent of Water and Wood. And he had already won her over and had even been welcomed into her home.
Yet he couldn't accept it, since he was the one who knew her first.
Heavenly treasures and Earthly treasures were often guarded by beasts, the property of their owners.
To harvest such treasures, one inevitably had to battle the guardian beasts.
The guardian beast protected the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit that Sally wanted to eat. That was the reason Zulu outright revealed his Dual-Element Talent to Lin Lang; he didn't want to waste his strength on Lin Lang.
The Two-Headed Wolf, a Wind Element Demon Beast with Yellow Rank talent.
Zulu had encountered it before, and both sides had fought to a draw with neither gaining the upper hand.
This time was different; he had to get that Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit.
The Two-Headed Wolf eyed Zulu warily and let out a menacing howl, attempting to scare him away.
Zulu drew a bone knife from his belt, "I only want the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit behind you. If you give it to me, I'll let you live. If not, I won't mind earning another Crystal Coin."
The Two-Headed Wolf did not care what he was saying. Seeing that he wasn't leaving, it lunged at him directly.
The claws, larger and sharper than those of a grown man's hand, glinted with a chilling gleam, and they were about to claw Zulu's flesh.
Yet, in the next instant, the Two-Headed Wolf howled in pain.
Zulu suddenly appeared at the waist of the Two-Headed Wolf, his bamboo sword chopping down forcefully, emitting a clear sound of bones cracking.
At the same time, the figure that the wolf's claw had struck turned into a puddle of water, falling to the ground.
The Water Element Secret Technique, Shadow Body Art, feinted in one direction and struck in another.
Seizing the opportunity, Zulu used the thorny vines to bind the Two-Headed Wolf.
The Two-Headed Wolf opened its two gaping mouths, slicing the vines into pieces with several Wind Blades, with a few more heading towards Zulu.
Zulu raised his hand and deflected them with ice blades.
The Two-Headed Wolf moved with extreme speed, nearly becoming a blur, circling behind Zulu and unleashing dozens more Wind Blades.
Zulu blocked them with the Ice Wall Technique, while uprooted giant trees crashed towards the Two-Headed Wolf.
The body of the Two-Headed Wolf suddenly swelled in size, stopping the giant trees.
Taking his chance, Zulu released several shadow bodies to confuse the Two-Headed Wolf as his true form concealed itself, holding a bone knife he approached beneath the Two-Headed Wolf, stabbing forcefully into the abdomen where the Demon Crystal was located...
The Two-Headed Wolf let out a scream that startled the birds in the forest!
Beastmen who were hunting in the Beast Forest heard the cry, as did Lin Lang who had left the Qingmu Original Beast Forest.
His face turned even paler, his hands clenched into fists... He knew of that Two-Headed Wolf Demon Beast, but even without his old injuries, he wouldn't have been able to kill it so quickly.
...
Auro bought a bucket of fresh cow milk.
Sally, unable to resist the fragrance of the milk, salivated, "Dad, I want to drink some milk."
"It's for you." Auro filled a bowl for her.
Sally finished it in one go, "More."
Auro: "... Here."
Not until more than half a bucket of fresh cow milk was gone did Sally finally pause, yet her hunger did not subside.
"Has Brother Zulu come back?" She really didn't want to eat anymore.
Auro immediately went to check.
Joy appeared on his face, "He's back, he's back."
Zulu was holding a Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit in one hand and a live deer entangled in vines in the other.
"I'm back, is Yanyan okay?"
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
Auro hurriedly took the live deer from his shoulder, "She's been asking for you many times, go see her."
"Okay." Zulu rushed eagerly towards the cave where Sally was.
Sally studied how to use the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit. It could be used to stew soups or make into Seven-Star Pills, but she didn't know how, so eating it directly was the least wasteful.
She ate the bright red fruits, one after another, even crushing the seeds and swallowing them.
They were a bit sweet, but mostly bitter and spicy.
As she consumed the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit, the relentless hunger gradually faded until she had eaten the entire fruit and even let out a satisfied burp.
Zulu watched her nervously from the side, fearful of her feeling any discomfort.
"I'm fine, and... I finally don't feel hungry anymore." Sally wrapped her arms around his neck, "You've worked hard, Brother Zulu."
Her initiative to embrace him pleased Zulu greatly, but her not feeling hungry anymore caused him concern, "Why aren't you hungry anymore?"
Could it be something other than pregnancy, like a disorder of overeating?
Sally replied, "The Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit is a heavenly treasure. Eating one of them is probably equivalent to a significant amount of fresh meat."
"A heavenly treasure?" Zulu thought about the Two-Headed Wolf that guarded it, realizing it must be valuable; otherwise, the demon beast would not have kept such a vigilant watch. And his timing was perfect as the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit had just matured.
"Are there any more in the Beast Forest?" Sally asked.
"There are." Zulu immediately nodded, even if he had to scour the entire Qingmu Plains, he would find it for his female.
