Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings
Chapter 308 A Heartfelt Confession
Never mind, I'll just browse around randomly!
Even if she had to give the other party some face, since the beastmen hadn't arrived yet, she had to try her best to appease them. Otherwise, if they got angry, she wouldn't be able to handle it alone!
Watching Xixi sit down and carefully flip through her journal, her serene profile, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, was flawless.
The young city lord's heart trembled violently, a stirring of emotion welled up within him, his Adam's apple bobbed, as if something was about to burst forth.
He quickly turned his head to the side, closed his eyes tightly, and let out a long sigh of relief before he could barely suppress his emotions.
“My mother died in childbirth, and my father died a couple of days later…” He suddenly began to talk about his background.
Xi Xi raised an eyebrow at him, not understanding why he suddenly said all this.
However, the young city lord continued with his work, diligently preparing the ingredients, without turning to look at her. Instead, he continued speaking to himself, "Actually, my father didn't have to die. He did it for me, for the continuation of the Kunpeng clan... Heh... To be honest, the Kunpeng clan doesn't really have many members left. Including me, there are only two elders of my grandfather's generation. They never mated with a female in their entire lives, not because they were unwilling, but because no female was willing to take them."
Kunpeng? She remembered that Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering" recorded: "In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is. It transforms into a bird, its name is Peng."
But in fact, as a super-large creature, Kunpeng did not have the conditions to exist in its previous life. I never expected to be able to witness it here!
But what did he mean by that? Did he mean for her to take in his two grandfathers, the clan elders, and then risk her life to continue their lineage?
She felt a chill run down her spine. So he was looking for her because he wanted to recognize her as his grandmother?
With the ability to give birth, she naturally doesn't have to worry about repeating her mother's mistakes, but isn't doing this a bit too inhumane?
Isn't he afraid that after taking in his two grandfathers, she will simply abandon them, leaving him the only one left in their clan?
Little did the young city lord know what Xixi was thinking. Without turning his head, he continued, "The Kunpeng clan has a huge beast form, an extremely low probability of reproduction, and a long gestation period. As a result, they have almost become extinct. This is the will of Heaven!"
"The reason why the Beast God bestowed the title of Holy Female upon the successive city lords of Yunyao City is precisely to bless the city lord's wife and ensure the continuation of her lineage."
"However, by my father's generation, there were no females left in the tribe. But my father defied fate and forcibly took my mother, attempting to conceive me with the body of a blue whale. Unfortunately, my mother died before she was full term, and her death was extremely horrific. After I was born, I was weak and was once thought not to survive."
"After that, my grandfather led the Blue Whale tribe to demand an explanation. My father was filled with remorse and committed suicide in front of the Blue Whale tribe and the elder of the Kunpeng tribe."
One can imagine how tragic the scene must have been: the city lord of Yunyao City, who was entrusted with great expectations and was the last young man of the Kunpeng clan, ended his life so hastily.
What is most heartbreaking is how this already frail infant will grow up.
Thinking of this, Xixi couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for the young city lord, but it was only a trace.
After all that is in the past. The young city lord now shows no signs of physical weakness. On the contrary, the way he wields the large iron pot is quite swaggering.
However, she didn't understand why the other person would suddenly bring up these things, especially when it came to a complete stranger like her.
After all, according to the other party's logic, the reason her father chose Blue Whale was because Blue Whale was the second largest beastman in the world after Kunpeng. So if even Blue Whale failed, other beastmen would have even less of a chance.
Moreover, choosing the wrong wife not only costs the wife's life, but also the life of the beastly husband!
It's safe to say that even if the Blue Whale tribe hadn't come looking for him, his father wouldn't have lived much longer; at most, a year would have passed before he died.
She had previously given birth to two litters, neither of which were particularly large. Although the second litter had twenty-eight offspring, which was indeed a bit exaggerated, it was not unusual in some tribes with many children.
The other party could never possibly know about this cheat system that allows her to have children, so why was she telling her all this?
Fortunately, the young city lord didn't keep him in suspense and quickly gave the answer: "You must be very curious as to why I'm telling you all this."
"Actually, the reason is very simple. I just want to tell you that the Kunpeng clan will end in my generation. I will never follow in my father's footsteps. Of course, I also don't want to die alone like the two elders, harming innocent females in public caves for certain needs. That's not what I want. What I want is..."
He suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on Xixi, only to find that the other was also looking at him. As their eyes met, he saw his own reflection in the other's eyes.
His heart pounded wildly, filled with a mix of emotions: tension, trepidation, worry, and joy, filling his chest to the brim.
Xi Xi blinked. She didn't understand why the other person stopped halfway through speaking and suddenly looked at her. Why blush when they were looking at her?
She subconsciously touched her face, wondering if there was something dirty on it.
However, her little face was completely clean, with nothing left.
Seeing the confusion in Xixi's eyes, the young city lord became even more nervous. He knew that Xixi had no feelings for him. From the first time they met, she had rejected him, even when he offered her such a huge temptation as the position of Holy Consort. She rejected him without hesitation or ambiguity.
Today, when he was about to lose control and turn into a beast, there was a simpler and more direct way, but she chose to use another method, the so-called non-contact mental comfort. Isn't that another kind of rejection?
He was rejected twice... He should have given up and saved face, but he knew more and more clearly that he had fallen in love with her, hopelessly in love with her. He couldn't even explain why; he just inexplicably fell in love with her!
He wanted to try again, even if the final result was still... but he still wanted to try, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, what if he succeeded?
"What I want is to get up every morning to do her hair, cook for her, serve her a bath, and take a walk with her... for a long, long time... just like now." He looked at Xixi with anticipation and trepidation, his forehead even covered in a dense layer of sweat, and his breathing became heavy.
Each breath seemed to strike Xixi's heart, causing her heart to tremble, and a certain seed instantly took root.
But then she shook her head violently, banishing those unrealistic fantasies from her mind.
This is the young city lord of Yunyao City, the only descendant of the Kunpeng clan, and a being whose combat power is slightly superior to her family's Sikong Hongyu!
