Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

Sally bowed to all the guests.

"If it were not for the honorable people present, supporting us, the orphans and widows, my husband's soul might not have been so readily reclaimed. Should he be resurrected, he will surely join me in expressing our gratitude to everyone. Even if he is not resurrected, I, Sally, will do my utmost to avenge my husband without implicating the innocent. Thank you all. I, Sally, am deeply grateful."

"Old Zhu, if you don't want such a good daughter-in-law, I'll have my son carry her back home in a grand palanquin," someone shouted at Zhu Min.

Zhu Min replied, "It's also my fault for focusing too heavily on cultivation. From today, I will take charge of Qilin Academy once again. Let's consider today's events a joke. Fortunately, my son's soul is still intact, and everything still has a chance to turn around. I ask for everyone's understanding and to give Old Zhu, and Qilin Academy, a chance."

His words were not only meant for the multitude of guests but also for Sally. He explained that he had been cultivating all these years and was unaware of many things. He hoped she would give him a chance to make amends.

As long as Zhu Sanlang could be resurrected, Sally did not wish to be enemies with Qilin Academy.

But if Zhu Sanlang could not live, then that would lead to a different outcome.

...

The engagement banquet ended hastily due to Sally's disruption.

The Qingluan Clan promptly sent someone to return all the gifts from the Qilin Academy, clearly indicating they no longer wished to form an alliance through marriage.

Sally stayed at Qilin Academy.

She agreed with the Ji Family's principle that to eliminate a problem, one must remove the root. She remained at Qilin Academy, looking for an opportunity to kill the mother and son.

Zhu Qihong's Divine Soul was now severely damaged. It was time to take his life while he was ill.

Especially the Ji Family, her gaze towards Sally was one of wanting to grind her bones and scatter her ashes. Such a hidden danger must not be left alone.

"Please, Miss Sally, spare them. After all, they are my wife and son. Moreover, since the Ji Family is from the White Tiger Clan, if you harm her, it might also bring trouble upon you," Zhu Min pleaded for the Ji Family and Zhu Qihong.

Sally, eating a Spirit-grade fresh fruit, remembered that guests from the White Tiger Clan were at the engagement banquet but had not shown themselves, "As long as Sanlang's soul is safe, we can discuss this matter."

Zhu Min nodded, "Mm, what about Sanlang's beastly body?"

"I will resurrect him myself. The rest is none of Qilin Academy's concern." Zhu Sanlang's will had resentment and hatred towards Qilin Academy, but he let go of it all in the end. When he was dying, his eyes only held her, and nothing else.

"I will take him away."

"No!" Zhu Min immediately objected, "I have already taken back Zhu Qihong's position as the young master and intend to establish Sanlang as the new young master of Qilin Academy."

Sally was taken aback, "You... want to appoint him?"

"I agree with this matter," Zhu Yin stepped into the living room with a smile on his face, looking at Sally and her swollen belly.

"To be precise, it's about appointing your unborn child. He is the direct lineage of my Qilin Academy and cannot be left wandering outside."

"Zhu Sanlang spent quite some time wandering outside," Sally finished the Spirit Fruit in her hand, picked up another from the fruit plate, and continued eating, "Also, this child is mine. I have not agreed to him returning to his ancestral clan."

"Then you can also forget about taking Zhu Sanlang's soul," Zhu Yin's expression remained the same, but his words carried a clear threat.

Sally chuckled softly, "How about we both make concessions? I want Ji Family and Zhu Qihong, dead! My child in my belly will carry the surname Zhu, following his father. Where his father is, he will be."

"It's settled," Zhu Yin declared.

Zhu Min wanted to say something, but with Zhu Yin having spoken, he pursed his lips and still held back.

"Give me Sanlang's soul," Sally extended her hand.

Zhu Yin said, "Zhu Sanlang's soul is very weak and there is still some damage. I am using the Linglong Lamp to nurse it. It will take at least half a year, and at most three years to fully repair it."

[Xiaomei, is what he's saying true?]

[It's true. But the fact that Zhu Sanlang's soul is damaged isn't a problem. The System Store has Soul Supplement Pills. For just ten thousand points, the host can repair him completely within five minutes.]

"No need to nurse it, just hand over his soul to me," Sally told Zhu Yin.

Zhu Yin slightly squinted his eyes at her, "You can repair his soul?"

"I can," Sally replied.

Zhu Yin paused for a moment before taking out a seven-colored glass lamp from his own Divine Domain Space and handed it to Sally, "This is the Linglong Lamp, I am giving it to you as well."

"Thank you." Sally unceremoniously accepted it. "Then I'll head back to my room now. Soon you will be able to meet Sanlang in person. If he chooses to stay, I absolutely won't force him. If he decides to leave, I hope you can respect his choice."

"Is there really no way to spare their lives?" Zhu Min ultimately remembered old ties.

Sally stood up from the chair and said to Zhu Min, "A snake bites the hand, a warrior cuts off the wrist. For Qilin Academy, it's a good thing."

Zhu Yin did not stop Sally from leaving.

Zhu Min continued to plead with Zhu Yin, "Great Ancestor, Ji Family has no merits but has put in much hard work for Qilin Academy, can't we spare her? We can divorce her too, and I can also sever the father-son relationship with Zhu Qihong."

"Between Ji Family and Zhu Qihong, Zhu Sanlang and the unborn progeny, I choose Zhu Sanlang and that unborn child," Zhu Yin replied.

"But..."

"Do you know why after all these years, once your injuries healed, your cultivation at the Half-step Divine Realm never improved? Indecisiveness, too many distracting thoughts. But you did do one thing right, and that's having Zhu Sanlang, who in turn has this progeny."

"Great Uncle means, that child?" Zhu Min finally caught on.

"Although I have reached the mid-stage of the God Rank, it's been nearly ten thousand years since I've been able to advance an inch, and I might also stop here."

"Why is that?" Zhu Min exclaimed in shock.

If anyone from Qilin Academy had the potential to enter the God Realm, only Zhu Yin! Even within the entire Divine Mountain Mansion, only Zhu Yin is at the mid-stage of the God Rank.

"Divine Status!" Zhu Yin uttered two words.

...

After Sally returned to her room, she immediately took out Zhu Sanlang's beastly form from her space.

"What a mighty and majestic beastly form." Sally stroked Zhu Sanlang's dragon scales, full of affection, [Xiaomei, he really is handsome.]

Xiaomei [Weren't you most fond of Frans's beastly form? You even risked your life to have Frans mate with you in his beastly form.]

[…] Despite her thick skin, Sally was still somewhat embarrassed, [His beastly form is more beautiful than his human form, and there's a sinful desire to defile him! I feel most in control when I'm with him. The others, including Sanlang, all end up uncontrollable and in defeat.]

[…Then do you enjoy being with Frans the most?]

[It's not quite like that, I actually quite enjoy being with each one, I don't mistreat myself. Now, save him quickly.] Sally refused to discuss sexual matters with Xiaomei anymore.

Sally took out the Linglong Lamp, and brought a golden mist inside close to Zhu Sanlang's beastly form.

Quickly, the golden mist followed the breath and entered the form, the somewhat shriveled beastly body gradually filled out, regaining vitality…
