Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 53 - 52: Feels Really Good!
Beastmen cubs, before they transform into human form, look no different from ordinary wild animal cubs in appearance.
Therefore, Sally was not certain whether this little black panther was a beastmen cub or a wild animal cub. However, given its notably spiritual nature, it was more likely to be a beastmen cub.
She stroked the little black panther's round, rolling head.
It reminded her of her first child. She regretted having never seen it before it was taken away.
She wondered where it was now, probably still in the Senyu Beast Forest.
The Senyu Beast Forest spanned a vast area across the Western District and Eastern District. Even if one traveled a thousand miles a day, it would take a year to go from one end to the other. Moreover, there were numerous natural barriers; the big black panther carrying the cub couldn't possibly have moved too quickly.
So she hadn't considered that this little black panther could be her child.
But there should be some resemblance in appearance, since they were both from the Leopard Clan.
Sally took out a book on cub massage from the System Space and, following the instructions for acupressure points, massaged the little black panther.
The little fellow hummed contentedly in its dream.
Sally looked at it and smiled, feeling quite accomplished.
In the future, when she had more cubs, she would give them massages like this.
Although due to her task of bearing children, she was destined not to be able to take good care of every baby, she still wanted to give them her pure love, within the limited time of fate.
The little black panther slept soundly, its eyes even curling up with joy.
Sally gently teased its whiskers and said tenderly, "You're really cute."
Bai Kaixin stood at the door, knocking gently, and called in a low voice, "Sister Sally—"
Sally looked over and saw Bai Kaixin had returned, asking, "Did you buy the fresh meat?"
"I did buy it, but…" Bai Kaixin's gaze fell on her bed, "the family of this little black panther have come looking for it."
"Oh?!" Sally suddenly felt a pang of reluctance.
Bai Kaixin helped her open the window to look down.
A huge black panther, as big as an elephant, stood in the small courtyard below, with golden eyes like the rising sun staring deeply at her.
If it weren't for its enormous size and the wrong timing, Sally almost thought it was him!
"You… What relation are you to the little black panther?" she asked.
"Father Beast." The two words, thunderous and powerful, were like a thunderclap from the sky.
Sally's eardrums trembled lightly, and she raised her hand to stop it from speaking further, turning to Bai Kaixin to ask, "What happened?"
Bai Kaixin replied, "He said that it was his child who went out without permission. When running in the street, it caught the attention of animal traffickers, was captured, and sold to a pet shop."
Sally turned again to look at the huge black panther, especially its body… such a big fellow was truly terrifying!
Unapproachable!!
She turned back to the bedside and picked up the little black panther, holding it in her arms, "I really am a bit reluctant to let go, the little guy is chubby and so playful."
Bai Kaixin also touched it with his hand… his heart incredibly excited, for this was a cub of the Golden-eyed Black Panther Beast!
Ordinary people wouldn't even get a chance to see one, let alone touch one.
Mainly, this clan was too protective; they would not reveal their young in public before their coming-of-age ceremony. The fate of that animal trafficker was probably very grim.
"Feels great to touch, doesn't it?" Sally said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Bai Kaixin couldn't help but nod excitedly, "It's amazing."
The huge black panther outside could hear the voices in the room and even imagine what they were doing, feeling somewhat restless.
It began to pace.
With its massive size, each step was like an earthquake, causing the ground to tremble.
Sally knew it was urging her, and despite her reluctance, she carried the little black panther and left the room.
Seeing the little one sleeping soundly in her arms, unharmed, the black panther finally calmed down.
He slowly lowered his head, indicating for Sally to place the Little Black Panther on top of it.
Yet, Sally, as if possessed by a mischievous spirit, casually stroked his massive head!
Black Panther: "..."
Sally: "...hehe, it feels really nice, even better than your son."
The Black Panther opened his mouth and took the Little Black Panther from her arms. Then, as if by magic, he produced a plump purse and tossed it to her.
At last, he left with the Little Black Panther.
Sally looked at the purse in her hand, opened it...
Crystal Coins!
At least a hundred!
In the Beast World Continent, females are naturally weaker and hence need the protection and provision of males. Even if they are not present, the provision of finances is indispensable. This is the price that males must pay for their entire life to have females bear their children.
After the Black Panther left Wanfang Inn with the Little Black Panther, he looked back one more time before continuing on his way.
...
Wanfang Inn finally opened its doors three days before the Divine Beast Academy began its enrollment.
Throughout the renovation period, Sally hadn't been idle either, getting along quite well with the neighbors.
So, on the day of the grand opening, everyone came over to join in the festivities.
Sally prepared fine wines and a feast to entertain the guests.
She also ordered dozens of flower baskets, placed them at the entrance to attract the attention of passersby, and handed out opening celebration gifts, each box adorned with the advertisement for Wanfang Inn.
The news spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, quickly attracting even more people eager to receive the small gifts.
The teahouse across from the inn also enjoyed the inn's popularity, bustling and completely full.
In a window-facing private room right across from Wanfang Inn, a Little Black Panther was pressed against the window, pitifully staring at Sally handing out small gifts at the inn's entrance.
Meanwhile, their table was already piled high with over a dozen colorful little gift boxes.
"Awoo~" The Little Black Panther called out to Sally.
Sally, who was distributing small gifts, heard the Little Black Panther's call, took a small gift box, and walked over, "You want more, huh? Well, here's another for you."
Sally threw the box towards the window.
The Little Black Panther didn't catch it, as another lithe arm reached out, with a pale hand marked by distinct knuckles, easily catching the little gift box.
Sally yelled at the invisible man, "Open it, there's dried meat inside, give it to him to eat."
The man didn't reply.
The Little Black Panther tried to 'break out' repeatedly, but didn't dare to, anxiously tapping the window with its paws.

Sally smiled at the Little Black Panther, "I'll play with you once I'm done with work."
Having said that, she no longer lingered and returned to the inn.
Bai Kaixin spoke excitedly, "Sally, all the guests have checked in."
"Mhm, hand out the remaining little gift boxes and then we can call it a day."
"I'll hand them out. You should go take a break in the back, Sally."
"Can't rest, there are so many guests. I'll go have a look. Once you finish, let Little Xianzi tidy up."
Little Xianzi is an employee hired by Sally, a dog tribe beastman with water element talent; he's spirited, has a cheerful personality, and is also very diligent. His temperament matches well with Bai Kaixin and they make a great team at work, achieving more together.
Sally went inside the inn, and the Little Black Panther immediately drooped its ears, losing its spirit.
The pale and slender hand scooped him into an embrace, gently stroking him, "She didn't recognize you, you shouldn't sneak around here anymore."
"Awoo~" The Little Black Panther curled up in his arms, dejectedly letting its ears fall flat.
