Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 95 - 94: Guess if it’s a baby girl or a baby boy?
Zong Silu also became tense.
He had never been afraid in the face of a million-strong army of demon beasts, but now he experienced the emotion of fear.
"Yanyan, what can I do to help you?"
"Just stay with me. It's enough to have you by my side." Sally's face was twisted with pain like a bun.
"Okay!" Zong Silu was heartbroken, wishing he could take her pain instead, even a hundred or a thousand times more.
The increasingly frequent contractions came, and Sally knew the birth was imminent.
"I'll say it again, if I appear to die, don't bury me. I'll wake up on my own after a while."
"...Okay!" Zong Silu, scared pale, said, "Is it really going to...?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Guess if it's a girl or a boy?"
"A girl like you from the Rat Clan."
"Hehe, don't..." Sally gritted her teeth, enduring the pain.
[The host has two more minutes.]
[Great, I can never stand this pain of labor, no matter how many times I go through it.]
Sally closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and exhaled slowly, gathering her last bit of strength.
Zong Silu said, "Yanyan, let's not have any more children in the future."
Sally slowly opened her eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Really no more?"
"Yes!" Zong Silu said earnestly.
Sally pulled up his sleeve, looking at his arm where she had left blood marks from her pinch, "But I still want to have another one with you."
"No more." Zong Silu stared into her eyes earnestly.
Sally took his hand, looking at his fair and pretty wrist, "No, I want to have one for you."
Then, she bit down on his wrist bone with all her strength, as something left her body...
There was a white flash before her eyes, and her soul seemed to float, entering a silent space so quiet that even breathing was distinctly audible.
[Congratulations to the host for giving birth to her sixth child, male, with the beast form of a Six-tailed Lushu and talents (Heaven Rank Secret Technique of the Wind Element, Heaven Rank Secret Technique of Space, Golden Marrow Pill Awareness of Special Element Secret Technique, Absolute Balance Judgment). The Father Beast (Three-tailed Lushu) has been awarded 100,000 points and received a Birth Gift Pack and a Maternal Talent Scroll.]
[Special Element Secret Technique Absolute Balance Judgment, what is that?] Sally was somewhat bewildered.
[The Special Element refers to the collective term for irregular secret techniques that do not adhere to a fixed element trait. Absolute Balance Judgment materializes scales on either side to add measuring items and perform a measure and judgment, with results that are absolutely infinite.]
[...That's a bit confusing, can you give me a simple analogy.]
[Certainly, host. Take two apples, for example, to perform a comparison of weight. Place one on each side of the scale, and the heavier side wins, the losing side pays a price.]
[Oh, doesn't sound very special, it's just a scale. In the future, it should be quite convenient for small business transactions.] Sally quickly dismissed this Secret Technique.
Not until later, when she saw that this Absolute Balance Judgment could measure even continents, that the winner continued to exist, and the loser vanished into nothingness, did she realize the terrifying infinite nature of this Secret Technique...
[Xiaomei, how much did this child help you grow?] Sally was more concerned about this.
Because this would determine what kind of talented child she would have next.
The voice of Xiaomei sounded more pleasant, [Yes, host. The Offspring System has grown to 99%!]
[That's great!] Sally was also happy but then paused, [Wait, does that mean I need to find another male from below the Spirit Realm to have a child with?]
[Yes.] Xiaomei replied.
Sally thought it over, all the males she had children with had already crossed the threshold of Heaven Rank... [Sigh! I'll look for one when I go back to the academy. What is that Maternal Talent Scroll?]
Strengthening my own power is also very important.
[Talent: Blue Rank, Secret Technique Amulet.]
[Drawing amulets?]
[Yes.]
...
Zong Silu lifted the newborn pup from between Sally's legs.
The pup's body was snowy white, and its tail was fiery red with six segments!
This was... this was the legendary Six-tailed Lushu! Although it was a Heaven Rank talent, once it entered the transformation phase, it would directly ascend to the Spirit Rank without needing to cultivate.
"Is this really my child?" Zong Silu cradled the pup, watching as it struggled to stand up, completely dumbfounded!
He had an heir to his legacy?!
"Mew~ Mew~" Little Lushu made sounds like a baby, opening its obsidian-like black eyes to look at Zong Silu, and not until it confirmed he was its Father Beast did it lay in his palm to rest.
Giving birth was hard for Sally, and it was equally tough for the newborn pup, struggling hard to emerge from the womb and then quickly adapting to an environment completely different from the mother's body.
Zong Silu took out a pup's swaddle and a small bed for the pup from his space, which he had prepared specially after learning that Sally was pregnant. As for the things prepared by the Witch Priest, he didn't trust to use them.
"It's a son. Our old Zong family has had males for three generations now." Zong Silu placed the newborn pup into its bed, coaxing it to sleep.
Then he turned to Sally...
His heart felt extraordinarily heavy, for he had discovered the moment Sally gave birth to the child, she had stopped breathing!
At that time, he felt as if his heart had stopped beating as well.
If it weren't for the pup's struggling sounds as it tried to come out of the amniotic sac, reminding him there was something more important to do, he might have followed her in death.
Just like his father back in the day, who would have joined his mother in the Beast God's embrace if it weren't for the responsibility of raising him.
"Yanyan, you said you were feigning death, that wasn't a lie, was it?"
Zong Silu's fingers intertwined with Sally's, bending down to kiss her lips, using his own body heat to warm her increasingly cold body.
"Yanyan..."
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
A tongue hotter than fire probed into Sally's mouth, trying to coax her to join it.
But Sally showed no reaction whatsoever.
Zong Silu meticulously recalled Sally's past actions, bit by bit, from clumsy to bitter, and finally hot tears fell one by one onto Sally's face.
"Yanyan, didn't you say you would wake up quickly? Open your eyes and look at your son, what's his name? I haven't yet chosen it, will you decide?" Zong Silu's hoarse voice was thick with grief.
A young man with blue hair and blue eyes suddenly appeared in the room.
Looking at the despairing Zong Silu, he spoke with full sarcasm, "You killed her!"
Zong Silu's spine stiffened as he slowly turned around, his eyes which had turned crimson bore into Rong Wu, "What are you?!"
Rong Wu snatched up Little Lushu from the pup's bed, surprised to see the six red tails, "Did the ancestors of your Zong family have blue smoke rising from their graves?"
"Put him down!" Zong Silu emitted a thick killing aura.
"Sure," Rong Wu flung his hand, sending Little Lushu flying out the window.
Zong Silu was horrified and immediately teleported to catch his son.
But by the time he returned with his son in his arms, Rong Wu was gone.
Along with him, Sally who was on the bed had also disappeared!
