Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

"Host, this is not a wild cat cub." System Little Beauty's voice rang out.

"Oh? Finally online, Comrade System Little Beauty of my Offspring System."

"Been rather busy lately." System Little Beauty replied.

"...You're not focusing on your job!" Sally was both amused and exasperated by System Little Beauty, but she felt reassured with her around to watch over the children.

"If it's not a wild cat cub, then what is it?"

Eggy buried the thing it had vomited out and then ran to a wooden post in the corner of the wall, started to vigorously scratch its claws... No matter how one looked at it, it was a cat cub.

"The data shows that it is a Beast Core."

"A Beast Core?"

"Yes, a living Beast Core that has left its original body, or perhaps the original body has already died. The Beast Core fortuitously survived."

"So... the original body of this Beast Core might be a big wild cat?"

"It has transformed into a wild cat cub, but it's unclear what kind of creature the Beast Core comes from unless it transforms back into its original form, then the host would know. However, Beast Cores like this that can survive on their own are usually of Divine Beast-grade."

"How could that be? This is a Divine Beast?" Sally was stunned.

"Not necessarily a Divine Beast, but only Divine Beast-grade demon beasts have the ability to separate their Beast Cores while still alive."

Sally recalled how, when she was pregnant with Little Shisan, Zhu Sanlang often brought her Saint Rank Demon Cores to consume, saying they were highly nourishing... but none were alive.

"Keep it as a pet; the little thing is quite cute. Manman used to have a Three-Headed Dog; this one can be Little Shiba's little buddy."

"Host, System Little Beauty has scanned Eggy's data into the game as a little boss."

"How far along is this game you're developing?"

"Surpasses the master in blue."

"..."

...

In the evening, Sally started to experience labor pains.

She stroked her big belly, which was steady and still.

It was the complete opposite of the tumultuous struggle when she gave birth to Xiaoqi, and even the labor pains came only after a long while.

"System Little Beauty, are you sure it's an egg?"

"Yes, Host. Just another 8 hours and 24 minutes. Would you like System Little Beauty to help you relieve the pain? It will cost 1 Fertility Point."

"Alright. I hope this litter comes with more rewards, especially Talents, preferably fire ones."

"Of course, Host. You can rest now. The birth will probably happen around 3 a.m., and you'll start feeling the labor pains at around 2:40 a.m."

"Hmm."

Outside, Zulu paced back and forth anxiously.

Even though Sally wasn't carrying his child, he was just as worried.

Auro's wife had passed away giving birth to Robby. So for Sally's childbirth, he was both nervous and fearful.

Pacing back and forth in the courtyard from a distance.

The only one who was somewhat calm was Robby.

'Knock knock knock—' Someone was at the door.

Auro hurried to open the door and, before seeing who it was, said, "It's about time you arrived, Witch Clan Elder."

However, the visitor was not from the Witch Clan; it was Lin Lang.

Lin Lang said anxiously, "Where's Zulu?"

Zulu came over upon hearing the voice, "Lin Lang, what's happened?"

Lin Lang said, "A group of Demon Beasts is attacking the Rabbit Tribe, and they've asked the Rat Tribe for help. Are you going back?"

Lin Lang knew that Sally was going to give birth these few days, but didn't know it would be today. He felt the matter was of great importance, so he came to call Zulu.

Upon hearing this, Auro didn't wait for Zulu to answer and said first, "Robby—you go with Zulu. Although killing demon beasts is very dangerous, when such an incident occurs, all the males of the tribe must not shrink back."

Robby immediately entered the house and carried a large knife.

Robby had always harbored a grudge for being wounded by a demon beast at his progeny root, so killing demon beasts carried a psychological element of revenge for him.

Zulu glanced at the cave dwelling where Sally was and felt very reluctant, "Robby, you stay here and watch over Yanyan. I'll be enough to go."

In the end, Zulu and Lin Lang set out for the Rabbit Tribe together.

However, after Zulu had left, Eggy, the little furball originally guarding Sally's doorstep, also looked back nostalgically at Sally in the room and let out a low cry.

The cry didn't sound like a cat's but rather like a beast's roar, deeply resonant yet with the tenderness of a young animal. Afterward, it ran after Zulu.

Sally was asleep, occasionally experiencing intense spasms of pain that made her wake up in a daze, before falling back asleep, unaware of what was happening outside.

System Little Beauty didn't remind Sally, because all these matters were unrelated to giving birth.

When it was 2:40 in the early morning, frequent intense spasms of pain began to assault all of Sally's nerves.

Sally could no longer sleep and started to grit her teeth and endure the pain.

The Witch Clan and Ashley had arrived, but because of Ming Linyuan's barrier, they couldn't enter, and could only wait outside.

Hearing that Sally had woken in pain, Witch Clan's Grom Gusar immediately went to the doorway, "Little Yanyan—can you get out of bed? Ashley and I can't get in."

Sally had forgotten about the barrier, but the intense spasms didn't allow her to get out of bed at all.

"It's, it's okay, this isn't my first child, I can give birth on my own. I'm troubling the Witch Clan and Ashley," said Sally lying on the bed, drenched in sweat.

[You have ten minutes left, Host, relax, there's no danger with this birth.] Little Beauty told Sally.

[Okay.] Sally let go of the map, wanting to see Zulu.

But when she looked, there was no Zulu! Other than Auro, Robby, the Witch Clan, Ashley, and a few aids to the witches, Zulu was nowhere to be seen!

[Where's Zulu?] Sally's question came with a cold sweat.

[Demon Beasts attacked the Rabbit Clan, and he has gone back.]

[That won't do! He might die.] Sally immediately panicked. She hadn't been able to get up before, but the thought of Zulu leaving made her actually get out of bed.

The next instant, an intense pain hit, her knees buckled, and she was about to fall.

"System Little Beauty!" Sally cried out in fear.

There was no response from Little Beauty.

Another tall and imposing figure teleported to her side and supported her.

With violet hair and amethyst eyes, his handsome face was full of worry and tenderness, "Lie down properly."

Ashley and the Witch Clan, who had been keeping an eye on the situation inside the room, widened their eyes in surprise…

Yet, at that moment, the door closed, and they could no longer see inside. They could only hear Sally's pained groaning from time to time.

"Grandmother, who is that man?"

"Violet hair and amethyst eyes...it seems like... the person from the rumors! But how is that possible!" The aged body of the Witch Clan shook with tremors!

"Grandmother?" Ashley was curious, for the man's clothing resembled the attire depicted on the Beast God statues, regal and splendid.

…

Sally clenched Zi Qi's hand, gazing at him intently.

Taking advantage of a respite from the pain, she said urgently, "I'm fine, Your Majesty, can you go save Zulu for me?"

Zi Qi continued to wipe her sweat without pausing, his voice low and tinged with an irresistible anger, "Yanyan, do you think any male can share you with me?"

"Your Majesty! If he dies, what will happen to the second, third, and fourth?" Tears started to roll down Sally's cheeks.

Zi Qi remained unmoved, even taking off her skirt and underwear, using a gentle and soothing Water Elemental Power to clean her body, "Ming Linyuan almost lost his life worrying about you since he didn't cross his Spiritual Tribulation; why aren't you worried about him?"
