Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 29 - 28: It Really is Fake!

...

Ashley was extremely busy at the Beast God Temple. Upon seeing Sally arrive, she immediately grabbed a strong man.

"Finally, someone who can write! Come and give me a hand."

"What's going on?"

Sally was led to a stone table covered with a mess of beast skins scribbled with writing, and she roughly guessed what Ashley wanted her to do.

"In a couple of days, our Rat Clan and the Rabbit Clan are going to hold a demon-hunting victory feast, and also to celebrate our clan's relocation here. The important figures from both clans will be attending. These are the contributions from each family for the feast, both food and other items. I need you to organize them and record them in the ledger."

"Sure." Sally picked up a feather pen from the stone table.

Her own pen was bought from the System Store.

But this feather pen was commonly used by the Beastmen.

They would collect feathers from a large bird called the Cyan Court Geese, dip them in a dark green-black liquid made from paint stones and grass juice, and write on beast skins. The writing wouldn't fade for a long time.

Sally first examined all the pieces of beast skin, then categorized and recorded them in the ledger.

When Ashley came back and saw the tables Sally had organized, so simple and clear, she was overjoyed.

"This is amazing! How did you do it? Teach me!" Ashley wanted to learn immediately.

"No, she needs to go home." Zulu's voice rang out.

Sally turned to look, "When did you get here?"

"Your father-in-law sent me. He said it's getting late, and he doesn't feel at ease with you walking back by yourself."

"Is it Uncle Auro who's worried, or is it you?" Ashley teased.

Zulu smiled, "Both are worried."

Ashley looked at his strikingly handsome features, momentarily lost in thought. No wonder Rona was so persistent in chasing him. Fortunately, she had Lin Lang, otherwise, without a partner, she might have fallen for the attractiveness before her eyes.

Giving Sally's shoulder a gentle pat, "Alright, help me out again tomorrow, and I'll make sure your family has a good spot at the feast the day after, with good food and drink."

Sally replied with a smile, "It's a deal then."

Ashley suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "Keep an eye on your man."

"Hm?" Sally was momentarily confused.

Seeing Zulu's almost bewitchingly handsome face, now even more charming than before, she immediately understood what Ashley meant.

With such looks, plus his formidable strength, no female would not want to possess him, and even some males couldn't help but harbor thoughts about him.

"Alright, I'll be going then."

"Go on, come early tomorrow, I'm counting on you."

"Don't mention it, I'm just providing a little help."

After waving goodbye to Ashley, Sally and Zulu started walking back.

On the way, Sally glanced down at her own empty hands.

If he truly was with her, he definitely wouldn't let her go empty-handed. He would wrap her hands with his warm, rough palms.

"The moon is really full tonight." Sally looked up at the bright full moon, feeling her heart sinking.

Zulu didn't look at the moon; his gaze was fixed on her the entire time, "I asked. The females of the Rat Clan can conceive again three days after giving birth."

"That's in beast form, I'm in human form, it's different. It takes longer."

"Hmm, take good care of yourself, we'll talk about it once you're fully recovered."

"You once said..." Sally suddenly stopped walking, looking into his eyes.

Zulu met her gaze, "What is it?"

"Nevermind." Sally clasped her hands behind her back, intertwining them, "Let's go home, I miss the kids."

It was a bit difficult to adapt at first, but as they grew older and fluffier, they became cuter, and Sally grew more fond of them.

Back on Earth, she might fuss over a pet dog or cat, but in the Beast World, how could she not love her own adorable little furballs?

In the future, when they turn six and transform into humans, they won't be this cute anymore.

Zulu looked at her soft and charming expression, which emerged as she thought of her children, and suddenly reached out, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

"Finish what you were saying just now."

"...What?" Sally was startled by his sudden rough action!

"Finish what you were saying just now, what have I said before?" Zulu's gaze held an undeniable deterrence.

"Don't you remember what you've said?" Sally countered, maintaining composure against the overwhelming pressure emanating from him.

"Heh." Zulu suddenly retracted the aura he was projecting and looked at her indifferently.

Steadying her mind, Sally continued, "Or is it that you've said it to so many females, you've forgotten?"

"How many females I have, don't you know best?"

"Not necessarily, maybe I'm just one of them."

"So you're not physically unwell, you're just disgusted with me, right?"

"That's for you to answer."

Sally pushed him away and walked forward, a fireball faintly visible in her palm.

Zulu watched the fireball and stopped in his tracks.

His expression grew serious.

"No wonder you could give birth to a Fire Element offspring, so it is. What other secrets do you have?"

After walking a few steps, Sally opened the System Map and saw Zulu's reaction. Any minor change in his expression was magnified in the System Map, a result of spending two hundred points to upgrade the map.

Spending a lot of money really made a difference.

Sally clearly heard Zulu's murmur.

It was indeed fake!

The real Zulu would have long known about her Fire Element talent.

And about her own secrets, had he stayed by her side all along to find them out?

Zulu, a tall figure with long strides, caught up to Sally in just a few steps, "I went to the Beast Forest today and hunted a Red Fox, how about I make you a scarf?"

"Better let it go, that thing holds grudges easily."

"Already killed it."

"..."

Zulu reached out and held Sally's hand.

Her slender and pretty hand was enveloped by his cool, large one, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Looking up at him, she unexpectedly found herself gazing into an ocean of crimson! All her spiritual senses were swept into it!

But in the next instant, she was brought back from that crimson sea to reality.

On the bumpy, wide road, the coming and going Rat Clan Beastmen would politely greet him upon seeing Zulu.

Zulu would respond warmly to everyone, without any trace of the aloofness of a powerful being, friendly and approachable.

Such attention to detail, if not someone close to him, would never suspect his identity.

Sally's expression grew cold as she was about to shake off his hand when she glanced at a woman approaching from the opposite direction.

Hah!

Isn't it said, 'Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road'?

Rona, carrying a bulging Beast Skin Bag, was walking toward them.

When she saw Sally and Zulu holding hands, shock flashed in her eyes, quickly replaced by burning jealousy, as if her eyes could literally emit flames.

But she swiftly disguised her jealousy with a joyful smile, "Brother Zulu, I was just thinking of you, and here you are, what a coincidence. I made a mink coat out of the fur you gave me last time, let's see if it fits."

Rona passed the Beast Skin Bag directly to Zulu, ignoring Sally.

But Sally tugged forcefully, pulling him behind her to face Rona squarely, "He gave you mink fur?"
