Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 75 - 74 Beware of Beast Emperor

"Could it be…" Zi Yuan started with alarm, staring intently at Little Manman.

If it really was that clan, it would indeed be troublesome.

Old Zong also thought of it, "The Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan?!"

"Yes!" Zong Silu also found it extremely tricky, because if handled carelessly, letting the people of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan know could even lead to outright war.

"Wait, you just said she is now your daughter? What do you mean by that?" Old Zong flipped the question back to him.

"Sally." Zong Silu looked at his father, "Manman is her child. And since she followed me in the Beast Forest, her daughter naturally became mine too."

"Whose child did you say?" Old Zong cleaned his ears, "Say it again."

"Sally." Zong Silu replied.

Old Zong heard clearly but still didn't understand, "Isn't she infertile? She even said that when the Fertility Strength was tested in her hometown, the female stone showed no reaction."

"Perhaps her constitution is such that the female stone cannot detect it." Zong Silu, seeing that Manman was sleeping restlessly, reached out to lift her up.

Zi Yuan stopped him, "Wait, this child must be reported to Your Majesty, and judged by Your Majesty."

Zong Silu rejected the idea without hesitation, "I am afraid that is not possible. The child is Sally's, and even if Your Majesty wants to see her, it will have to be with her consent."

He could tell Manman's talent, and the Beast Emperor would only see it more clearly than he did.

A female of Quasi-Heaven Rank is a great temptation to males without offspring, especially those with extremely high talent.

The reason why males with high talent are without offspring, one speculation is that the females lack talent, and even if they have it, it is usually of the Yellow or lower ranks, and typically they have low fertility strength.

Female members of the Phoenix Clan are rarely seen, but their fertility strength is almost always top-notch.

If nothing goes wrong, Manman's future fertility strength will also be of the highest caliber, coupled with her Quasi-Heaven Rank talent, or perhaps with more cultivation, she could even enter the True Heaven Rank or even the Spirit Realm.

The Beast Emperor... has no scruples at all!

It cannot be ruled out that he might harbor intentions of fostering Manman.

"Are you certain she is her child?" Zi Yuan had also looked over Sally's information.

It was bad enough that she had no fertility strength, but she was also a beastwoman of the Rat Clan.

Even with Yellow Rank talent, it would not be possible to catch the eye of a top-tier avian species like the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird.

In truth, Zong Silu was not entirely sure either, because offspring from two different species would be hard to guarantee as pure-blooded. A Rat Clan and a Phoenix, it seems a bit unlikely indeed.

But Sally's tone when she spoke was very certain, and moreover, Manman's instinctive closeness to her was real as well.

"I believe her," Zong Silu replied.

"…" Zi Yuan looked towards Old Zong, "What do you think?"

Old Zong, looking at Manman, said, "I would like to see Sally again."

"That's fine, she would like to visit you too," Zong Silu put away Manman, "Give me a copy of the third barrier's reference book."

"Agreed, come with me," Old Zong replied.

Old Zong and the dean exchanged a few more pleasantries before leading Zong Silu out of the office.

Zi Yuan pondered for a moment before quickly getting up to leave as well.

Old Zong handed a few books to Zong Silu and then saw him off from the academic building.

The father and son walked along a more secluded path.

"Tell the truth to your father, what's the deal with this Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird?"

"I have spoken nothing but the truth; Sally said this is her daughter and wanted me to acknowledge her, so I agreed. I brought her to the academy to have you take a look and to ask about what to pay attention to in raising her."

"There's nothing particular. Phoenix Birds, when young, tend to sleep a lot; their diet mostly consists of fresh raw meat, as well as rare fruits that have a long growth period, and they drink clear mountain spring water. As long as she eats and drinks normally, there should be no problems.

Beyond that, Phoenix Birds have a very long growth period; it takes a hundred years to reach maturity, and pure-blooded ones may even require two to five hundred years.

Sally entrusting her to you might also be considering this.

She is from the Rat Clan; the longest lifespan is about eighty, and most start dying around sixty, with females living even shorter—rarely reaching fifty—so she might be worried she couldn't raise Manman until she grew up and decided to leave her with you."

"Sixty, fifty... such a short lifespan?" Zong Silu suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
