Many descendants

The Eastern District of Huangdu was in an uproar.

Since Ziqi became the Beast King, there has been no royal offspring. The current princess, Zi Qiao'er, was adopted. Although she has good fertility, she is, after all, a weak female who can do nothing but give birth.

But the newborn princess is truly gifted, and a Heavenly Rank Fire-type at that! Judging from her birth mother, her fertility is also exceptional.

Su Yan has fully recovered after consuming the Rejuvenation Pill.

However, Zhang Wuzhu still ordered him to rest and recuperate first, and not to move around if possible.

Ziqi, on the other hand, carried that little white mouse on his head every day and wandered around.

Sometimes he would go to the Divine Beast Academy to discuss matters concerning the Dark Continent with Zong Sili, and sometimes he would seek out Pei Xuan to learn the secrets of raising children.

Because Xiao Qi's animal form is a white mouse, a purebred rat, and he inherited Su Yan's traits, no one can tell that he is not Zi Qi's offspring; everyone assumes he is his biological son.

Su Yan didn't dare to expose it, and the very few who knew the truth were all Zi Qi's confidants, who would never speak out.

[The Millennium Celebration starts in ten days, Xiaomei, are you sure the Holy War is also on that day? Why is there no sign of a Holy War yet?]

There has been no news of a rescheduled Holy War. Invitations will be received by male Spirit Rank members approximately two days before the start date.

A long beep suddenly sounded from the system.

Su Yan's consciousness instantly left the system.

After a while, Xiao Mei's voice rang out: "[The rules for this year's Holy War have been changed. Spirit-rank males with offspring will no longer participate in the Holy War.]"

【Huh?】 Su Yan's heart immediately turned ice-cold.

Does that mean Pei Xuan, Ming Linyuan, and Zong Sili can't go? Doesn't that mean she's lost three major allies?

She had initially regretted not having a child with Ziqi, so that if something unexpected happened during the Holy War, he would have an heir to carry on the family line. Now, however, she was glad she hadn't, otherwise she would have gone to war alone.

Currently, the Beast King of the Northern Region has no offspring. Yu Yan was a participant in the last Holy War, but his memories were sealed after returning to the Mortal Beast Continent. They will only be unsealed upon returning to the battlefield.

[Yu Yan is a veteran player? That baby-faced guy?] Su Yan asked in surprise.

Yes. The host is extremely fortunate; among the very few holy warriors who have returned to the battlefield.

[Hopefully, I'll continue to be lucky. How many continents are participating in this holy war?]

Currently, there are over 500 participants, and the number is still increasing. The competition will be divided into multiple venues. The new rules stipulate that the maximum number of participants per continent is six, including the host vying for the position of Holy Queen.

What would happen if I lost the competition and didn't win the title of Holy Female?

[Previous rules of the Holy War: A defeated host will be re-bound to the procreation system, and all memory caches from the previous system will be cleared. They will then be randomly transported to another mortal beast continent to begin anew. All participating male spirit-rank beings will perish.]

Su Yan's breath hitched. [It seems this is going to be a life-or-death struggle.]

Yes. On the contrary, once the Holy Mother is obtained, even males that die in battle can be resurrected.

Is Yu Yan part of the Holy Female Group?

[Specific data on Yu Yan is currently unavailable. The host can inquire with him after he regains his memories.]

……

"Achoo—" Yu Yan sneezed, looked around warily, and only continued to stand and pretend to sleep after confirming that there was no problem.

Su Yan stood by the window, watching him sleep standing up.

"Your Majesty, how did you come to know Yu Yan?" Su Yan asked Zi Qi.

Ziqi was secretly pressing the inkpad onto Xiaoqi's paw, preparing to stamp it... when she suddenly heard Su Yan's voice, she was startled.

Calming herself down, she replied, "Oh, I picked him up from the roadside."

"You picked it up by the roadside?" Su Yan asked in surprise, then looked at him.

Seeing him furtively clutching Xiao Qi's paw, the system map was released...

Letter of Commitment —

I, Zi Yuxi, promise to be Zi Qi's daughter, for all eternity, my paw print is proof!

"..." Su Yan was speechless, pretending not to know.

"What happened to Yu Yan?" Zi Qi stamped the imperial seal on the letter of commitment.

“…” Su Yan replied, “It’s nothing. He seems quite loyal to you.”

"We're just taking him in; he can leave at any time."

"Oh, when will the Beast King of the South District arrive?" Su Yan asked.

“…I will not give my daughter to them.” Ziqi placed Xiaoqi on her head and continued to use her as a hair ornament.

Su Yan looked at her youngest daughter and said, "Be careful she doesn't fall. What father puts his child on his head? They usually put her on their shoulders."

"Inconspicuous".

"It's too conspicuous from above..."

"How is the talent and strength of the South District?" Su Yan changed the subject.

Zi Qi said, "The Beast King of the Southern District is a Water-type Earth-rank beast, and the overall strength of the Water Beast Clan is not high."

"Oh?" No wonder Xiaomei said that the Beast King of the South District would definitely raise Xiaoqi.

With Xiao Qi's talent, she's definitely the heir to the throne!

"They have no natural enemies, live a comfortable life, and are therefore lazy and mediocre. The East and West districts are constantly attacked by monsters, while the North district has a harsh natural environment, which is why extraordinary talents emerge from time to time."

"If you want Xiaoqi to have a peaceful life, would it be better to send her to the South District?" Su Yan didn't have many requirements for the children, as long as they were safe, healthy, happy and carefree.

Ziqi replied, "I have already drafted the Crown Princess's decree. She can live a good life in the East District just as well. Moreover, the title of Empress of the East District is no more prestigious than that of the South District."

Su Yan was stunned by his words. "What did you say? What do you want her to do?"

"Empress." Ziqi took Xiaoqi off her head again and placed her in her palm. "Blood ties are not important."

This effectively shut down any potential conversation Su Yan had about blood ties.

Su Yan sighed, "Are you crazy?"

"Your Majesty, Patriarch Rong requests an audience," Yu Yan reported as he entered the hall.

Su Yan looked at Yu Yan. Ever since Xiao Mei told her that he was the Holy Warrior from last time, her perspective on him had changed.

Ziqi nodded, "Take him to the Imperial Garden."

"Yes." Yu Yan turned and left.

However, as he turned around, he glanced at Su Yan almost imperceptibly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes... Was it just his imagination? The way she looked at him seemed a little strange.

"I'll leave Xiaoqi with you for now." Ziqi reluctantly handed Xiaoqi over to Su Yan.

Su Yan chuckled: "...Your Majesty, I am her mother, so I should be the one to take care of her."

“You gave her to me, so she is now my daughter,” Ziqi said matter-of-factly.

Su Yan thought of the "Letter of Commitment" that he had Xiao Qi sign, and felt speechless. "Fine, it's yours, it's yours, she's your daughter."

Ziqi left satisfied.

Su Yan held Xiao Qi in her palm and looked into her eyes. Her blue pupils had a thin layer of mist, giving her a gentle and mysterious look.

Actually, her eyes are very similar to Rong Ruo's.

But very few people have actually met Rong Ruo, and even fewer have carefully examined his eyes.

"Here, this is for you. It was left by your father." Su Yan took out the deep blue pearl that Rong Ruo had transformed into after his death from the system space.

Little Seven stared at the deep blue pearl, then suddenly opened its mouth and ate it!
