Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 28 - 27 Genealogy and Suspicion

Sally looked into his eyes and smiled with pursed lips, "Brother Zulu, let me teach you how to prepare milk powder. It's simple, but taking care of three will be a bit troublesome later on, and it might take up some of your demon-hunting time."

"Raising cubs is naturally a male's duty. You just focus on recuperating," Zulu readily agreed.

"Alright." Sally opened the can of milk powder, and a refreshing scent of milk wafted out, spreading in all directions.

Ashley, smelling the fragrance, hurriedly came over, "It smells so good!"

"This is what the young beasts from the Eastern District eat, made from sheep's milk." Sally handed the bottle to Zulu, "Please wash it again."

Zulu took the bottle and cleansed it with the Water Element Secret Technique.

"This talent really is convenient," Sally commented as she took the sparkling clean bottle.

She then took some hot water and based on the directions on the milk powder can, prepared a bottle, and lastly rolled the bottle between her palms to ensure the milk powder was fully dissolved.

She handed it to Zulu, "Got it?"

"Mhm," Zulu nodded, memorizing the temperature of the bottle.

Ashley timely asked, "Is drinking this enough?"

"Yeah, they are still small and can only drink this," Sally admitted her unfamiliarity with the growth changes of the cubs here, which meant she had to learn while raising them.

Ashley shook her head, "You've given birth to two types of cubs, and their growth stages are different. The Rabbit Clan's will grow teeth after half a month and then can eat tender meat. The little rats will start teething in seven days and can be prepared tender meat. By the full moon, they are usually weaned off and switch to a diet of all meat."

Sally looked at her three little rabbits and rat cubs, all sound asleep, "I've never raised any before, but it's good that you're here."

Ashley smiled, "I've only started raising them a few days earlier than you and don't know much myself. Actually, our clan has Cub Paradise for unified cub care, where they are experts at raising children. I sent my own there; they grew a lot in just three days."

"Would they take mine when they're so little?"

"Yes, and they have wet nurses there who can help you feed the children, but it's more expensive. Once you've recovered a bit, you should go and ask personally."

"I'll go tomorrow," Sally said with a smile.

After giving Sally some postpartum care advice, Ashley left with the dried salt meat and other items she couldn't refuse.

Auro disagreed with Sally sending the children to Cub Paradise, saying that the old females there might mistreat them. He offered to help look after the three little ones himself, and since he had personally raised Robby, he had some experience with childcare.

When the Clan Leader of the Rabbit Clan learned that Sally had given birth to two females and one male, he was delighted and immediately sent many fine gifts.

Of course, the gifts were not without strings attached, as they also came with a request—the three cubs should all take the Deira surname.

Zulu didn't say anything, leaving the decision to Sally.

Eventually, Sally agreed to give the eldest blue-grey rabbit female the Deira surname, while the two younger ones, a male and a female, both took the Millet surname.

Especially since the little male looked so much like Zulu. Those pure, bright eyes were exactly the same, which she adored very much.

The Clan Leader accepted this and sent an old female named Aima to take care of the three children.

Since Aima had previously looked after Zulu, she exclaimed that the little male looked exactly like Zulu and his talents would surely not be any less impressive in the future.

Having learned from the System that the little male's talent level and dual-elemental secret techniques were comparable to Sally's, she was very confident in Aima's judgement.

Sally personally named the three little cubs and prepared a leather-bound family record book.

However, when she started to write, she left the first spot blank. Starting from the second spot, she wrote—Father Zulu Deira, Mother Sally Millet, Eldest Daughter Yona Deira, Second Daughter Yohanes Millet, and Youngest Son Frost Millet.

After looking at the family record, Zulu's gaze fell on the blank space, "Why did you leave a line empty?"

"It's called leaving space," Sally replied, "A way of writing."

"Hmm, but with this family record you've made, you have enough space to write down hundreds of names," he observed.

Sally's expression became serious as she responded, "The Millet Family, for generations upon generations, will be forever glorious."

"..."

"Aren't you supposed to be hunting Demon Beasts? Why are you still at home?"

"I've already killed almost all of them. The few remnants have run off into the most hidden parts of Beast Forest and are hard to find. The leaders of the Rabbit Clan and Rat Clan have decided to stop hunting Demon Beasts. Both clans are beginning to repair and regain their strength, and to expand their populations."

"So, you're saying you don't have anything to do now?" Sally put the family tree away.

Zulu hooked a strand of her snow-white, supple long hair with his finger, "How about we have another litter then?"

Sally let out a light chuckle, "No litters."

Zulu thought she would agree and was slightly taken aback by her rejection.

Sally stood up and walked outside as she spoke, "I'm going to find Ashley at the Witch Clan. It might be late by the time I come back. You take good care of the children."

Zulu watched her slender and graceful silhouette as she quickly left the courtyard, a profound and playful smile slowly appearing on his face.

Once Sally had left the house, her expression suddenly turned cold.

She was now almost certain that the Zulu before her eyes was an imposter!

These days, his behavior towards her had been inconsistent, his daily habits were different, and he also exhibited a cold attitude towards the children... It was as if, apart from sharing the same skin as Zulu, nothing else was the same.

Although she was reluctant to believe it, if it was the truth, where was the real Zulu?

How could he look exactly like Zulu, even the mole on his lower back was not out of place.

Until she found the real Zulu, she had to endure and deal with this imposter, no matter what.

Sally, lowering her head and lost in thought, suddenly felt the ground give way beneath her. She heard a sharp reprimand, "Sally Millet, are you blind?"

Looking up, she thought to herself: It's a small world indeed.

With such a wide road, and she was walking along the edge, yet she still managed to bump into her.

Or perhaps she was standing here on purpose, waiting for Sally to collide with her...

"Sorry," Sally apologized sincerely, as it was true she had bumped into someone.

Rona glared at Sally with furrowed brows, "If I stole Brother Zulu away and simply said 'sorry' to you, would you forgive me?"

"Rona!" Sally's face showed her displeasure, "That's a different matter."

Rona stepped closer to Sally, "I think it's the same thing."

Sally, not wanting to argue any further, walked past her to continue on her way, "I'm heading to the Witch Clan. If you're feeling uncomfortable from the bump, you can come along and have it checked out."

Rona watched her retreating back, "Don't think you can monopolize Brother Zulu. His strong masculinity isn't something you can possess all on your own."

Sally stopped in her tracks, turned back, and looked Rona over, her voluptuous upper body and especially plump waist and hips. According to Ashley, these were traits of great Fertility Strength, and males preferred such figures.

But that face made the attractive body less appealing. A round face with freckles, a double chin, a flat nose, and small eyes, with skin that was rough and greasy...

"Even if Zulu were to leave me, it certainly wouldn't be for you!" Sally suddenly smiled seductively at her.

That exquisite and stunning face immediately bloomed like a lush flower, stealing away all the limelight.

Rona was captivated by her beauty as well.

Sally turned and continued on her way.

That's right, Zulu was captivated by faces. From the moment he saw her face, he was hopelessly infatuated, to the point where he insisted on joining the Millet Family despite unclear Fertility Strength, just to be with her.

And now, the Zulu who could tolerate Rona's pig-like face and was engaging in dalliances with her was absolutely, absolutely... an imposter!
