Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 46 - 45 What is Father Beast?
After Millet's family settled down in the Rabbit Clan, Sally got to know all the relatives, including Zulu's seven aunts and eight uncles, through the introduction of the old Clan Leader.
Of course, her three little cubs, in the generous blessings bestowed by their elders, made a killing. Especially the two young females were the most popular.
It turned out that the females of the Rabbit Clan have two wombs, allowing them to carry two litters at the same time, and their fertility strength was generally above average, with almost no below average, making the Rabbit Clan females very popular among the Beastman Clan.
Sally rubbed her belly, which was getting rounder by the day, signaling that she was about to give birth soon.
Zulu, too, started making frequent trips into the Beast Forest, searching for heavenly and earthly treasures for her.
The closer she got to giving birth, the greater the demands of the children became.
Sally herself was somewhat overwhelmed; although she was naturally slender, now she had become nothing more than a paper-thin person with a huge belly.
And Zulu's ventures into the Beast Forest grew longer and longer. However, every time he returned, he would bring back heavenly and earthly treasures for the offspring in Sally's womb.
Until the very day she went into labor, Sally suddenly lost her appetite, not even wanting to drink a drop of water.
Zulu paced nervously outside the birthing room, wishing he could give birth in Sally's place.
Feeling the regular movements of the baby in her womb, along with the "countdown" from System Little Beauty, Sally knew there were still over four hours to go.
She then told Zulu, who was outside, to go and take care of other matters first.
But Zulu insisted on waiting outside.
"Zulu— Zulu—" The old Clan Leader came rushing over in a hurry.
"What happened?" Zulu asked.
"Your second brother... Your second brother went out early yesterday and has not returned yet."
"Where did he go?"
"He went to the Qingmu Original Beast Forest. Hearing that there were Demon Beasts around, he took a group to hunt."
"But..." Zulu looked at the birthing room.
The old Clan Leader urged, "I'll stay here to watch. I pray to the Beast God to bless my daughter-in-law with a safe and smooth delivery."
Zulu hesitated for a moment but finally nodded before speaking to Sally in the birthing room, "My second brother is missing, I'm going to look for him. I'll be back before dark."
Sally looked out the window, figuring it would also be three to four hours until dusk, "Go ahead, and be careful yourself."
"...Okay." Zulu took one deep look at the birthing room before leaving.
It was about dusk.
Jason was carried back by his clansmen, half of his body covered in blood.
The old Clan Leader checked Jason's injuries first; his shoulder had been bitten off by the fangs of a wild beast, but it was not life-threatening.
"Where's Zulu?"
"Zulu, he..." Jason's pale face from blood loss showed colors of pain and regret.
The old Clan Leader's heart leapt to his throat, "Speak up, what happened to Zulu?"
"He... To save me, he was... eaten by a Demon Beast!" After Jason said this, he completely passed out.
The old Clan Leader staggered back a step, nearly falling over, but someone supported him.
"How could that be? Zulu killed so many Demon Beasts, how could he be eaten by one?"
"Clan Leader, should we send people to look for him urgently?"
"Go, notify everyone in the clan instantly, anyone who can go should go and search!"
Suddenly, Sally screamed in pain.
The old Clan Leader turned to look in the direction of the cry, with a face full of guilt.
He shouldn't have let Zulu go after Jason. But if he hadn't, Jason would definitely have died.
Both the kid in the hand and the kid on the back were his sons; how could he choose?
…
Sally felt she had entered the final stage of labor, and the sky outside had also darkened.
"Witch Clan, has Zulu returned?"
The Witch of the Rabbit Clan had just finished bandaging Jason's wounds, so she was already aware of Zulu's misfortune.
Now that Sally was giving birth, she definitely couldn't know about it; otherwise, if a difficult childbirth occurred, it would be troublesome and more than they could handle. The old Clan Leader had ordered that Sally's safety during childbirth must be ensured. Should any critical situations arise, she was to be prioritized.
"Not yet," the Witch replied truthfully.
In her heart, she lamented: His bones are gone, he can never return!
Sally looked at the time on the System; there were ten minutes left until the child's birth.
She opened the System Map, wanting to see if Zulu's figure was within a hundred meters. He valued this child so much; he would certainly not miss its birth.
But when she accessed the System Map, she unexpectedly saw Jason lying weak and pale on the bed, his shoulder bandaged with blood-soaked gauze, clearly having sustained severe injuries.
"...My younger brother died trying to save me; from now on, his children are my children. I will definitely raise them as my own."
"It's good that you think this way," the wife of the Clan Leader said in utter sorrow.
Suddenly, Sally felt the pain in her abdomen disappear... Had Zulu died?
How could that be!
He was so powerful and talented; how could he possibly die!
"We didn't expect to encounter a Demon Beast with the strength of Profound Rank. It was too powerful; we were no match for it. If my younger brother hadn't bothered about me, he could have escaped safely. It's all my fault," Jason said, and began to cry again.
Sally's heart sank... a Profound Rank Demon Beast.
If a Demon Beast was of the same rank as a Beastman, the former was generally stronger because they devoured the talents of multiple Beastmen.
And a Demon Beast that had grown to Profound Rank, who knows how many Beastmen it had devoured and how many talents it had acquired.
"Push a little harder, it's almost time," the Witch urged suddenly.
Sally took a deep breath; no matter what happened, the child must be born first!
Just then, someone outside shouted—The Demon Beasts are coming!
The Witch's face turned pale, and she quickly covered Sally with a Beastman blanket, "To the underground passage."
But the arrow was on the string, and Sally was just one push away from giving birth to the child, "Wait, wait a moment!"
The Demon Beasts outside didn't attack the Rabbit Beastmen, but charged straight towards the birthing room where Sally was. All the Beastmen on their path were unable to stop their speed.
Some Beastmen saw what was happening and rushed into the birthing room, "Run, the Demon Beasts are coming for the child."
Sally, looking at the System Map and seeing the group of belligerent Demon Beasts, turned pale with fright, and then felt a warm flow between her legs, followed by her vision darkening as she entered a state of pseudo-death after giving birth!
"Congratulations to the host for giving birth to your fifth offspring, sex (female), beast form (Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird), talent (Fire Element Earth Rank talent, enhanced to Quasi-Heaven Rank innate talent by the Golden Marrow Pill.), father beast (Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird), reward (points 50000.) Birth Gift Pack one, Maternal Talent Scroll one."]
Listening to the points, Sally couldn't believe it, "50000?"
The voice of System Little Beauty seemed a tad gentler, "Yes, the Offspring System has grown to 47%!"
Sally quickly opened the data tab, staring intently at the points: 51887.
She rubbed her eyes and continued to look... No mistake, it really was fifty thousand!
"These points came too easily! 50000 points for just one!"

"I'll give birth to two more litters for him."
"Does the host want to go to the Eastern District?"
"Eastern District?"
"Yes! The father beast has already left with the child, heading to the Beast World Continent in the Eastern District."
"Are you saying that fake Zulu, he isn't dead?" Sally then remembered something and hurriedly looked at the Father Beast column of information—"Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird?"
"Would the host like to use 500 points to find out Zulu's whereabouts?"
