Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 30 - 29 Mutual Testing

"Six perfect mink furs," Rona opened the Beast Skin Bag, revealing the splendid fur within. "I made two, this one is for Brother Zulu."

"You made another two?" Sally laughed softly, turning to look back at Zulu with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

Anyone who sold beast furs knew that mink was more expensive than fox.

Furthermore, as a significant fur merchant from the Rat Clan, Auro was well aware of this fact.

"Lady Resh might have misunderstood, those mink furs aren't mine. My cousin entrusted me to give them to Lady Resh, and many people are aware of this," Zulu stated without even glancing at the fur coat, his expression even more proud and cold. "Lady Resh has given it to the wrong person."

With that, he took Sally's hand and walked past the utterly shocked Rona Resh.

Sally, almost as surprised as Rona, asked in a rather loud voice, "Is it really your cousin who asked you to deliver them, and not a gift from yourself?"

Zulu replied, "If you don't believe me, you can go and inquire. Robby knows as well, he was in my Demon Hunting Squad at that time."

Sally still looked skeptical as she eyed him, "I will go ask Robby."

"Do ask him," Zulu said as he drew her into his embrace again, this time with less force.

While Sally initially wanted to break free, seeing Rona's hateful stare fixed on her through the System Map, she chose not to move.

"Rona likes you," Sally said to Zulu.

Zulu chuckled softly and responded, "Many females like me. Should I get involved with each one?"

"Hmph! You males would do anything for offspring," Sally said disdainfully.

"...That's true," Zulu admitted, looking at her. "How about we have a litter tonight."

"No!" Sally rejected his proposal to have children once again.

"[Warning to the host! You must not refuse the request for offspring from a high-talented male, or 500 points will be deducted.]" Xiaomei's mechanical voice suddenly rang in her mind.

Sally's eyes widened in shock, nearly popping out, "[Xiaomei!!]"

Xiaomei spoke in a bureaucratic tone—"[Reminder to the host, being emotional is a major taboo for the Offspring System.]"

"[...]" Sally understood why the Offspring System had chosen her: she had experienced emotional betrayal, her heart dead and cold.

If she fell into the whirlpool of emotions again and refused to have children because of it, the Offspring System might just eliminate her and find another host.

A chill spread throughout her body from the depths of her soul.

"[I understand.]" Sally's consciousness exited from the System.

Seeing her standing still and looking pale, Zulu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Sally walked forward with a blank gaze, her thoughts in turmoil.

It wasn't until they were almost home that Sally stopped.

Zulu, who was following her, also halted.

"I'm ready," she said.

"What!?"

"To have children," Sally said with slightly narrowed eyes, looking at him with a calculating air.

Since Xiaomei had personally told her to have children, his talent had to be above Yellow Rank.

Having a litter was no problem; she could use the children to prove that he wasn't Zulu.

With the reality in front of him, it would be hard for him to deny his identity again.

"But your body hasn't recovered yet," Zulu said, somewhat surprised, as her previous refusal had been outright and non-negotiable.

"I'm able to have them now," Sally responded.

She turned and kept walking towards home.

Damn Offspring System, not even allowing her the right to refuse.

After Aima had fed and put the three little beast cubs to sleep, she went back to the kitchen to prepare food.

Auro followed suit and went to the kitchen to help.

"Aima, how come you've never spoken about your own children?"

"I have low fertility strength, no children," Aima replied. "But I do love children very much."

"It shows. You take care of these little ones very carefully, almost as if they were your own."

"Taking care of children is something I can do, not much else though."

"You've already helped a lot, especially at home, keeping it clean and tidy, just like a new place."

Footsteps came from outside.

Auro hurriedly said, "That must be Yanyan and Zulu coming back."

Aima immediately started to slice fruits and meats, "Let them wash their hands and get ready for dinner."

...

No matter what was on her mind or how much pressure Sally kept hidden, she would never show it to her family.

As soon as she walked through the door, she cheerfully called out to Auro, "Dad, I'm back. Ashley said she wants our whole family to attend the celebration the day after tomorrow."

"Good." Auro smiled. "It'll be a good chance to meet more Rabbit Clan fur traders."

"Yeah," Sally nodded.

Aima, carrying chilled tender loin meat, fruits, and milk, came out of the kitchen.

Only after placing everything on the dining table did she say, "Zulu's ice is really handy, the meat tastes particularly good. Take your time eating, I'm going to check on the kids."

Sally popped a piece of ice into her mouth, the coolness refreshing her instantly, "Where did you get this ice from?"

"Water element innate secret technique, Freezing Spell, quite simple," Zulu answered as he handed Sally a warm, dampened towel to wipe her hands. "Later, I'll prepare some fine cotton handkerchiefs for you, they're softer and more suitable for you."

"Where will you get fine cotton?" Sally asked curiously.

Zulu answered, "I have a friend from the Peng Clan in the Eastern District who can bring some over."

Sally knew that the Peng Clan friend he mentioned must be his own connection, not Zulu's. If Zulu had such a friend, he would have told her before.

"By the way, you said you also have friends in the Eastern District, how did you meet?" Zulu casually inquired, as if chatting about family matters.

"I met him in the Senyu Beast Forest; he is from the Leopard Clan." The memory of the Black Panther reminded Sally of the little leopard cub she had given birth to. She wondered how it had grown and whether it was healthy.

"What leopard?" A reddish gleam flashed suddenly in the depths of Zulu's eyes.

Sipping some milk, Sally retorted, "It's none of your business."

Zulu: "...Male or female?"

Sally, eating a piece of chilled fresh meat, responded, "Then may I ask, is your Peng Clan friend male or female?"

"Seems like a male. Did you mate with him?" Zulu continued to probe.

This guy, dangerous and clever!

Completely losing her appetite, Sally said, "Enjoy your meal. And tonight, you're sleeping with the kids."

Having said that, she got up and left the dining table.

Zulu picked up her leftover milk and drank it in one gulp.

Leopard Clan... he did know of one, and that one had a little cub, which he treasured.

...

After washing up, Sally returned to her own cave room, closed the door, and made it clear she wanted no disturbances.

She took off her clothes and transformed into a small white rat, then slipped out through the vent in the top of her cave.

Lying at the edge of the cave roof, she saw in the courtyard below Robby and Auro making beast skin boots, with Zulu cutting the leather beside them, all three working together seamlessly.
