Pei Xuan stopped in his tracks and looked back at her.

Sally thought there must be something on her face when she saw the complexity in his eyes, so she raised her hand to wipe it away, "What's wrong?"

"Once a male has children, the female that has borne his offspring becomes his wife. Unless she dies or has clearly stated she doesn't need him to be her Beast Husband, he cannot have a second female for the rest of his life."

Sally was shocked, "There is such a rule? Then I—"

Her sentence suddenly cut off.

She had given birth to three litters for three different males. Did that mean she already had three Beast Husbands? Apart from Zulu, who had died, there were still two... Wait, she would enter a state of suspended animation after giving birth, so they must have thought she was dead too.

If they thought she was dead, they wouldn't keep hanging onto her as if she were just a wild branch.

Thinking of this, Sally was actually grateful for the suspended animation setting arranged for her by the System.

In the future, after giving birth, she could pretend to be dead for a while. As long as she wasn't cremated and was buried whole, she could escape the bind. She also wouldn't inconvenience the offspring's father's chances of choosing another mate.

As for the children, if they wanted to take them away, they could, or she could raise them herself.

However, in Beast World, it is the males who take care of the children. Not only is it not a burden, but it's also a capital for showing off. Male beasts without offspring are the ones who are despised and thought to lack certain capabilities.

Conversely, if a female were to care for the cubs, it would be considered an insult to the male, and even to the male's family, to a certain extent.

Like Ashley, after giving birth, she handed the children over to Lin Lang, who took care of them without any burden. She would even brag to anyone who would listen how Lin Lang had fattened up the cubs, making them extraordinarily strong.

Lin Lang was also greatly envied by his clan members.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing her fall silent, Pei Xuan took the initiative to ask.

Sally shook her head, casting the thoughts from her mind, and smiled, "It's nothing. What about Xiaohao's mother?"

Pei Xuan gave her another look and silently continued walking.

Xiaohao let out a "woo~" and hugged her neck tightly, cooing in a spoilt manner...

Pei Xuan did not enjoy such treatment, so when he heard Xiaohao's coquettish whines, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"She's dead!"

"..." Sally's expression stalled, "Sorry."

"It's okay, she probably doesn't mind." Pei Xuan led her to the edge of a cliff.

To get to the mansion in the forest above, they needed to climb the cliff first.

Sally was at a loss for words; she was essentially a mouse and could indeed climb, but it was quite a hassle.

Pei Xuan extended his hand to Sally, "I'll take you up."

"Thank you." Sally breathed a sigh of relief and placed her hand in his palm.

The warm and hot palm made her feel an electric sensation, "That... What's your talent like?"

She had blurted out the question without thinking, driven by instinct.

The Offspring System was constantly urging her to have children, and whenever she encountered a suitable male, her body would involuntarily enter mission execution mode.

Pei Xuan looked at her, "Semi-Spiritual Talent."

"Semi-Spiritual Talent? What's that?" It was the first time Sally had heard of Semi-Spiritual Talent. Weren't the talents just earth, profound, heaven, green, blue, red?

Pei Xuan continued, "After Heaven Rank comes Spirit Rank. Semi-Spiritual Talent is a lower level of Spirit Rank."

Sally's eyes suddenly brightened!

Oh my!

Why should she bother with Divine Beast Academy?

The male right in front of her was not just Heaven Rank, but an even higher Spirit Rank.

[Warning to the host, the Mortal Beast-grade Offspring System has not evolved to Spirit Beast-grade, thus offspring cannot be produced at higher ranks.] Xiaomei's icy voice rang in Sally's mind, dousing the excitement she had just kindled, leaving no trace.

Sally had not heard Xiaomei's voice in a long time and actually missed it, [Has the System update been completed?]

[Yes, host, the Offspring System is now fully operational.] Xiaomei replied: [The current male is not a suitable mate for progeny. Please keep him as a reserve option and continue to search for other Mortal Beast-grade males.]

Such a good male resource, and I can't make use of it, it's really such a pity.

Sally sighed and held Xiaohao tighter in her arms.

Xiaomei said to Sally, "There's a new item in the System Store, Host can take a look."

Since Xiaomei specifically mentioned it, there must be something good in the System Store, she immediately opened it with a thrill of excitement...

"Beast Nurturing Pill, can randomly enhance the talent of a young beast (0~1 years old), up to three times, 1 point." Sally looked at the new item in the System Store and immediately exchanged for one.

When her consciousness left the System Space, she found herself lying in Pei Xuan's arms, being carried effortlessly up the mountain.

Xiaohao was lying in her arms, asleep.

Pei Xuan looked down at her and his thin lips pursed slightly, saying, "My apologies."

"It doesn't matter, who made my talent insufficient and my original form too weak?" Sally said as she lovingly looked at the child in her arms, "I have a gift for him, I don't know if you... would like it or not."

"If he likes it, it's fine." Pei Xuan did not oppose.

Sally looked up at him, meeting his dazzling golden eyes, and was momentarily dazzled before saying, "It's something to eat."

"Okay." Pei Xuan still did not object.

Sally smiled, "Aren't you afraid I'm poisoning your precious son?"

Pei Xuan looked at her, "You won't."

"Thank you very much for your trust. What talent does he have?" Sally asked.

"Profound Rank, Thunder Element," Pei Xuan responded.

Sally was surprised, this was the same as her Little Black Panther.

She looked down at Xiaohao and then at Pei Xuan, and suddenly a thought crossed her mind...

But that thought quickly vanished.

Pei Xuan's talent was at the Spirit-grade, and she surely couldn't bear a child of Spirit-grade.

Arriving at the mountain peak, Pei Xuan set her down.

Xiaohao also woke up.

Sally took out the Beast Nurturing Pill from the System Space, which could enhance talent.

"This is for young beasts to consume, and it can enhance their talent. Of course, how much it enhances depends on luck. I was in a hurry when I came and didn't bring a gift, so I'll give this to Xiaohao," she said.

Pei Xuan's face instantly turned serious, "It can enhance a young beast's talent?"

"Yes, luck plays a big part," Sally handed over the wooden box containing the elixir to him, "Xiaohao is your baby, whether you want him to consume it, it's up to you."

"Do you want him to take it?"

"Me?" She shouldn't be the one being asked this, "Heh—I gave it, of course I would like him to consume it."

Xiaohao, who was lying sleepily in Sally's arms, nestled on the soft 'pillow,' was suddenly picked up by the scruff of his neck by his father.

As he opened his mouth to cry out, a round, sweet thing slid down his throat.

Then, a burst of intense lightning erupted from within his body.

Sally was startled and quickly asked Xiaomei, "What's happening to him?"

Xiaomei did not respond immediately but waited a while before saying, "Talent is upgrading, the young beast is not in danger."

"...Why do I feel like your update has made you slower than before you updated?"

Xiaomei ignored her.

Since he was upgrading, there was no need for her to worry. She waited on the side to see the final result.

But Pei Xuan was very worried; he only had this one precious child!

In the Beast World Continent, the higher a male's talent, the harder it is to have offspring.

And furthermore... Pei Xuan looked towards Sally, she might not be willing to have a second one with him.
