Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

"I'm sorry to impose," said Frans with a smile.

Sally patted Zi Qi on the shoulder, "Your Majesty, I had an arrangement with Lena."

Zi Qi touched her head, "No, and besides, there's nobody on the streets."

Sally had seen from the upstairs that there were still people opening their markets and doing business; otherwise, they wouldn't have thought about coming down.

But since they all objected, she could only slump down in dejection.

Seeing her so downcast, Zi Qi smiled wryly, "You can go out, but do it at night."

"Ah? Why go out at night? Isn't it more dangerous then?" Sally asked.

Zi Qi replied, "It's equally dangerous during the day and at night. What's the difference?"

For Beastmen, they actually have better spirits at night and a stronger desire to fight. However, for her, she seemed to prefer getting things done during the day and lacked energy at night.

"Never mind, I won't go out after all," Sally said, sitting down abruptly. She turned her tail towards them and looked back at Lena.

Lena blinked her long, curled lashes as if to say, she couldn't help her.

Sally looked toward Frans.

Her plans had not started well, and ultimately it was Frans's fault. If he hadn't interfered, she and Lena would have already left.

Frans stayed silent, offering only a smile.

The group returned to Senye Prosperity.

Zi Qi's face suddenly turned very ugly.

Frans's expression also became grave.

"Your Majesty, the Defense Barrier is broken," Yu Yan reported, after checking the entrance and finally shaking his head, "They didn't leave any traces. The opponent might have used Space Mystery. Their strength is not beneath your Majesty's."

At this moment, Zi Qi turned to look at Sally and Lena.

Lena yawned, stretching her paw to cover her mouth, and said to Zi Qi, "I don't know anything. It was just that Sister Su suddenly wanted to go out for some fresh air. I thought the Beastmen form wouldn't show her pregnancy shape clearly, so I transformed and followed her out."

Although Sally didn't understand the severity of the Defense Barrier being broken, she and Lena had narrowly escaped a disaster!

She straightened up immediately, patting her round belly, "Look, this is women's intuition. You can't deny it. I usually never think about going shopping, but just now, I really wanted to. Luckily we left, otherwise where would you find me and Lena?"

Zi Qi couldn't argue with that. Looking at Sally, who was proudly triumphant, he chuckled, "Alright, next time we'll listen to you."

Out of nowhere, a golden scepter appeared in Frans's hand, densely engraved with complex patterns and imbued with some kind of rule-based Mystery, inspiring a sense of awe from one's soul.

"Time reversal," Frans calmly announced.

Soon, an image floated in the air…

Lena, transformed into a leopard, carried the little white mouse Sally and left the room, entering the teleportation corridor.

As soon as they left, a man who looked very refined came, exited the teleportation corridor, and walked to the door of the room.

Upon seeing this man, a surge of intense hatred burst from Lena as she gritted her teeth, "He's Yue, the male from Tong Nanxi."

Yue's palm gradually overflowed with a light blue Elemental Power. Slowly, it spread over the Defense Barrier established by Zi Qi.

Then he used a Space Blade to break open the door.

He walked inside.

But he left very soon after, looking quite displeased.

He withdrew the Elemental Power covering the Defense Barrier, leaving not a single trace, and then he left through the teleportation corridor.

Sally asked Lena, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"He killed my squad member." And he was the male she loved the most. The hatred in her eyes deepened even more.

Suddenly, she looked towards Zi Qi, "I implore Your Majesty the Purple Emperor to take revenge for me. I am willing to serve as a beast of burden before reincarnation to repay you."

Zi Qi said nothing but looked towards Yin Zang.

With a somewhat awkward scratch of his head, Yin Zang raised his hand, "I'll help too."

"If it's convenient, it wouldn't hurt to kill him." Zi Qi did not make an absolute promise, but neither did he completely refuse.

Xiaomei's voice suddenly rang out, "Host, there is a grey, bone-like stone on the scepter. Can you find a way to get it?"

Sally blinked with curiosity, eyeing the scepter in Frans's hand, "What is this?"

"Life-bound Magic Treasure." Frans put away the scepter.

"Hey? Don't put it away yet. Can I touch it?" She had just seen the grey, bone-like stone, which was unremarkable among the other colorful and diverse gems.

Frans smiled, "I'll let you see it later."

Zi Qi glanced at Sally, "Let's go in and talk first."

Already, the entire room had become ruins.

...

Although the hotel quickly restored the room to its original state, Tong Nanxi's visit to issue a challenge truly offended Zi Qi.

Moreover, Zi Qi no longer allowed Sally to be alone, insisting she stay with him at all times until the Holy War ended.

No one objected.

Frans remained silent as well.

Zi Qi and Frans sat in the green plant area.

"Give me some inside information." Zi Qi asked Frans.

Taking a Qingxin Plum from the fruit plate, Frans bit into it, "The Holy War, the Holy Mother, the Holy Monarch, the three are related. The purpose of the Holy War is to select a Holy Mother with exceptional Fertility Strength for the Holy Monarch."

"I guessed as much." Zi Qi looked at Sally and Lena who were eating in the restaurant and discussing some female topic.

"But, the current situation doesn't look like a selection for the Holy Mother; it seems more like..." Zi Qi turned to Frans, "a chess game of slaughter!"

Frans paused in the act of eating the Qingxin Plum, "That's quite a fresh idea."

"We squads are just the chess pieces on the board. And beyond the board, there must be numerous spectators." Zi Qi said coldly, "I wonder how many people are betting on the squad 9908. Or rather, which squad has the Holy Monarch bet on?"

"Definitely not 9908." Frans suddenly laughed, his expression somewhat uncontrollably mocking.

Zi Qi knew he had guessed right, a flash of extremely dangerous killing intent swept through his eyes.

"You're not wrong in your guess; you are just props in his game. He doesn't like females, so the Holy Mother is unnecessary to him.

The last Holy Mother had her Offspring System harvested and lost her Fertility Strength after becoming the Holy Mother. She served as a prostitute for hundreds of years and later used money to keep a good-for-nothing man, redeeming herself from prostitution under the name of that man's wife.

Now, her Offspring System is inside Lin Xuexue's body. She came all the way from another continent specifically to find her own Offspring System."

"No wonder she was asking Yu Yan about the special characteristics of Yanyan's Offspring System."

"Yanyan's Offspring System should not exist."

"Now that it exists, there must be a reason and consequence for its existence."

"Right. I will not harm Yanyan, as long as she is willing to bear a child for me."

"Impossible." Zi Qi rejected the idea without a second thought.

Frans's demeanor became even more tranquil, almost looking down with an aloof indifference, "You think I stepped down from the higher ranks to experience this boring killing game?

If you want me to spill the beans, I'll speak plainly. I want Yanyan... her Fertility Strength! If you're willing to part with her, I guarantee both of you can return to Continent 9908 and have the name of Continent 9908 removed from the next Holy War preparatory list. Otherwise, I fear your entire squad will be wiped out in this game, and I shall still get Yanyan!"
