With its architectural style reminiscent of a sci-fi film, Principal Gran's home stands as an isolated island from the interstellar age. Star moss clings to the ancient stone walls. The metal door at the entrance, intricately carved with runes, shimmers with a mysterious light. The entire mansion exudes a distant and solemn aura, a stark contrast to the high-tech world outside.

Rosie was a little surprised. It was the first time she saw this style of architecture in this world.

Mary walked Rosie to the principal's house and said, "I'll just take you here. You can go in by yourself."

Luo Xi asked doubtfully, "Aren't you going up with me?"

Principal Gran opened the door and came out, smiling and saying, "She's terribly lazy. My house doesn't have an elevator, so we have to take the stairs. She's too lazy to climb them. For so many years, she hasn't even bothered to step on the threshold of my house."

Mary didn't feel guilty at all: "Grandpa, when will you agree to install the suspension elevator? That's when I'll come to visit you again."

Principal Gran was not angry. He couldn't help but smile, shook his head and told Mary to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Mary ran away at a speed that left Rosie dumbfounded.

After exchanging a few brief greetings with Principal Glen, Rosie followed him up the spiral staircase step by step.

The walls on both sides of the stairs are covered with ancient and mysterious portraits, some of which clearly depict the images of orcs, and are lifelike.

Some are vague and obscure, seeming to depict some unrecognizable ancient creatures, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.

Rosie followed Principal Glen, her steps becoming heavier. The stairs seemed to have no end. She finally understood why Mary had run so fast just now.

In Principal Gran's study, there are also several ancient paintings hanging on the walls. The desk and walls are filled with paper books, and the air is filled with a faint scent of paper.

Rosie was surprised for a moment when she saw so many paper books.

You have to know that in this highly electronic interstellar age, it is already difficult to see paper books, let alone a whole room full of paper books.

After taking his seat, Principal Gran got straight to the point, his tone somewhat serious. "In my youth, I served as a guardian priest at the Beast God Temple. That experience exposed me to some little-known secrets. The Beast God Temple is not only a holy place, but also the place that guards the oldest prophecy in the Beast World."

He paused and continued, "At that time, I stumbled upon an ancient scroll in the library deep within the temple. This scroll was considered a top-secret document, with only a handful of elders and high priests authorized to know its contents. As a guardian priest, I wasn't authorized to delve into it, but due to some special circumstances, I was able to access this prophecy."

Principal Gran's gaze grew profound, as if he were recalling a distant past. "The prophecy mentions that the entire beast world will face an unprecedented catastrophe. This catastrophe is caused by the reincarnation of an ancient evil god. His appearance will devastate the entire beast world, plunging all orcs into endless darkness and despair. And at this time, the Holy Female, who has disappeared for a thousand years, will reappear..."

"It's a pity that the scroll is incomplete. These are the only prophecies I've seen." Principal Gran sighed slowly, and beneath his white eyebrows, his light-colored pupils, seemingly filled with infinite wisdom, looked at Rosie. "When I was born, the Holy Mother had already disappeared for hundreds of years. After reading this prophecy, I've actually always hoped to see her appear one day. However, I waited for hundreds of years and still saw no hope. In the end, I thought the prophecy would definitely not come true. Yet, today, when I'm over five hundred years old, you appear..."

After hearing this, Luo Xi frowned slightly. This prophecy sounded like a necessary plot in those mass-produced ancient puppet dramas on Earth.

As the plot progressed, she even felt that Principal Gran might arrange a tragic love story for her that would last for three lifetimes.

Of course, she only dared to think about these in her heart.

But then again, that's the plot.

The screenwriters of those ancient idol dramas on Earth wrote much more explosive stories than this, so Rosie was not too surprised after hearing it.

"So, Principal Gran, do you think this legend is related to me?"

Principal Gran nodded slowly, his eyes deep. "Yes, I believe the Holy Female mentioned in this prophecy is most likely you. Although this is just my speculation, I feel it is my responsibility to inform you of this. As for the rest of the prophecy, we can only go to the Beast Temple in the Star-Moon Empire to see if we can find any clues."

Luo Xi pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said gratefully, "Thank you for telling me this information. However, the beast world seems to be very peaceful now, so the authenticity of the prophecy may need further verification."

After a pause, Luo Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask what she wanted to ask today: "Principal Glen, I actually came here today because I want to ask you for help with something."

Principal Gran smiled slightly upon hearing this and responded gently, "Oh? What is it? Just tell me. I will do my best to help."

Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then spoke frankly, "It's about the black dragon cub in my belly. He hasn't been very active lately, and the doctor said it's because he's not getting enough energy for growth."

After hearing this, Principal Gran's expression froze instantly, and he looked extremely surprised. "Is there a cub that a Saint Female can't bear? This is truly unheard of."

He pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes slightly, raised his hands gently, and slowly released the wood power from his fingertips. In an instant, several emerald green branches grew out, like gentle vines, gently wrapping around Rosie's wrist.

The green light reflected on Principal Gran's white beard and hair, making him look a bit like a forest wizard casting a spell in a movie.

Rosie felt her wrists being gently wrapped by the branches, transmitting a warm and gentle force through her skin, but she did not feel any discomfort.

A few minutes later, Principal Gran slowly opened his eyes, looking somewhat embarrassed. "It's indeed a lack of energy. This situation is very rare. Normally, it would be life-threatening for an ordinary female to give birth to a highly gifted half-orc. Your partner, Marshal Kyle's mother, returned to the embrace of the Beast God after giving birth to him. But logically speaking, you are a holy female, so even if the child in your belly is an SSS-level talent, there shouldn't be any problems, unless..."

Principal Gran's voice suddenly stopped when he said this, and he looked at Rosie with a subtle look.

Luo Xi didn't notice Principal Gran's expression at this moment. When she heard that Principal Gran and 001 had basically the same conclusion, her heart sank and she asked anxiously, "Do you have any solution?"

Principal Gran seemed a little embarrassed to speak. He sighed softly, "To replenish this energy, we may need the help of a companion with healing abilities. Only through the energy... well, communication with a healing ability can we provide the cub with sufficient vitality."

Hearing this, Luo Qian's eyes went dark and she sighed helplessly in her heart: Even the solution is exactly the same as what System 001 said.

Principal Gran saw that Rosie was silent, thinking about his previous plan, so he took the opportunity to say, "Actually, my two grandsons are both very outstanding. They are both half-orcs with wood-type abilities. What do you think, Ms. Rosie, would you like to consider them?"

After hearing this, Rosie felt a little amused. Mary and Principal Gran were indeed grandfather and grandson. They always gave her a living gift every time they met.

And they give two at a time.

She tried to force a polite yet awkward smile and said, "Okay, Principal, I'll think about it."

……

After leaving Principal Glen's house, Rosie walked to the doorway when she saw a pair of tall, straight twins standing in the sunlight. Both had flaxen hair that shimmered warmly in the sun, and their light-colored eyes, as clear as lake water, exuded a youthful and sunny aura. The brothers were incredibly muscular, with well-defined muscles, seeming to be filled with strength and vitality.

This was the first time Rosie had seen the two brothers together, and now that they were standing together, she could clearly tell Ivan from the other...

That person should be the one I met in Mary's dressing room and on the rooftop of the military academy's parking building...

The man smiled faintly, a hint of playfulness in his smile, appearing lively and approachable. He quickly approached Rosie and spoke in a low voice, as if they were on the rooftop. "Sister, I told you before that we should formally introduce ourselves this time. Call me Damon, or..."

He moved closer to Luo Xi's face and his breath turned warm, completely surrounding Luo Xi: "Sister, you can call me whatever you want..."

Just as Rosie was nervously holding her breath, Damon was grabbed by the collar and pulled away.

Rosie was given some breathing space and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who loves him the most is naturally Ivan, who can't stand it.

Compared to Damon, Ivan is more composed, with a gentle and modest temperament, and a look of courtesy and respect. Although the two look similar, the contrast between one being sunny and playful and the other being gentle and reserved is stark.

Before Rosie could say anything in response, Ivan frowned in dissatisfaction and said in a slightly blaming tone, "Ms. Rosie is our teacher now. It's a bit disrespectful for you to call her that."

Damon curled his lips in disdain and retorted in a somewhat teasing tone, "You're only five minutes older than me, not fifty years. Why are you so old-fashioned? Besides, your sister is only two years older than us. You call her old even when you call her the teacher."

Ivan sighed slightly: "Regardless of age, respect is the most basic etiquette."

Luo Xi stood aside, watching the two bickering, a warm smile in her eyes. Despite their verbal arguments, their mutual understanding and deep affection were evident.

Seeing that Rosie didn't interrupt, Damon suddenly turned to look at her, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "Sister, Ivan, that nosy guy doesn't let me call you sister, so can I just call you Sissi?"

Ivan frowned when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Rosie chuckled and waved her hand, interrupting his rebuttal. She looked at the two of them and said gently, "It's just a name. Whatever you like."

Damon immediately seized the opportunity, a smug smile on his face: "Then I will call you that from now on, Sissi."

After getting permission, Damon acted like a child, constantly looking for opportunities to call "Sissi" all the time, which made Ivan feel annoyed and he glared at him.

Damon completely ignored what his brother, who was only five minutes older than him, thought. His eyes kept lingering on Rosie. After Rosie said goodbye, he even said, "Cissie, why don't you let me take you home?"

Luo Xi smiled and politely declined in a gentle tone: "Thank you for your kindness, but my housekeeper will come to pick me up, so don't bother you."

Just then, a gentle engine roar echoed from the sky, and a streamlined aircraft landed steadily in front of them. The aircraft's hatch opened, and Xuanqi stepped out. He was tall and muscular, with a stern face and a fierce aura.

Damon and Ivan's eyes simultaneously grew wary. Three men, each with a distinctly different temperament but equally outstanding, were now secretly competing against each other. Though they remained silent, an invisible tension seemed to hang in the air.

Just by meeting each other, they could sense that subtle magnetic field and immediately disliked each other.

This subtle competitive relationship instantly made the atmosphere complicated.

Xuanqi walked up to Luo Xi and gently extended his rough hand: "Master, I'm here to pick you up."

Rosie nodded and gently placed her hand on his arm. After greeting the twins, they walked towards the aircraft together.

Damon and Ivan stood there, watching her leave, with a hint of reluctance in their expressions. Ivan was fine, but the emotion that flashed across his eyes betrayed his inner thoughts, while Damon did not hide it at all, and all the reluctance was written on his face.

After the aircraft took off, Rosie sat quietly in her seat, gazing out the window into the distance. The clouds outside the window were hazy in the twilight, and the silence was somewhat awkward, as if many things were on their minds, but no one spoke.

The aircraft was flying smoothly when suddenly a flock of birds darted past, almost brushing past it. The sudden change jolted the aircraft, causing it to lose balance and begin to flip violently. Rosie's body involuntarily tilted to one side, losing her balance.

At that moment, Xuanqi quickly took action and held Luo Xi tightly in his arms. She could feel his warm body temperature and the rapid rhythm of his heartbeat, as if this chest was her only support.

The aircraft finally regained stability, but Xuanqi did not let go.

Rosie looked up at him, her breathing slightly quickened. Their eyes met, and the air seemed to be filled with an attraction that could not be ignored.

Xuanqi's eyes grew darker, and the emotions he had suppressed for so long completely spiraled out of control at that moment...
