Many descendants

She hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but she became curious after seeing Yu Yan put all the rare and precious materials he had obtained into the jade box.

It was later learned that this was a storage box that could store spiritual materials and even living things. The spiritual materials inside were not only kept fresh, but could also continue to grow.

Su Yan recalled that she also had a lot of spiritual materials in her system space, but they were all scattered around like vegetables, which was obviously not a good idea.

Seeing that she liked the jade box, Yu Yan gave it to her.

Besides, while the rare and precious herbs inside are quite good, to be honest, he doesn't need them. On the contrary, Su Yan takes all sorts of supplements whenever she gets pregnant, so she needs them the most.

Su Yan didn't accept it for nothing; she gave him a copy of "The Complete Book of Talismans".

Once, when Su Yan was studying talismans, he glanced at them casually and drew an earth escape talisman, which was surprisingly effective.

Su Yan was dumbfounded; talent was something that couldn't be compared.

No matter how hard you try, it's all for nothing if you don't have talent. Those with talent, however, are practically blessed with good fortune.

Opening the jade box, Su Yan saw that it already contained a considerable amount of rare and precious herbs.

Beneath those rare and precious materials lay an egg.

Su Yan took the egg out; the purple patterns were beautiful. She tapped it with her finger; it was solid, a perfectly fresh egg.

"Xiao Mei, what kind of egg is this?" Su Yan asked.

Xiao Mei replied, "Its shell has a defensive barrier; you'll only know once you break through it."

[A defensive barrier? Is this egg that powerful? I was thinking of stewing it and eating it.]

[...Host can try that bottle of Earth Spirit Liquid; it has a growth-promoting effect.]

【Okay.】 Su Yan picked up the bottle of Earth Spirit Liquid that Yu Yan treasured so much.

Drop by drop, it was poured onto the eggshell...

The creature inside the eggshell didn't absorb the Earth Spirit Liquid at first, probably because it was dormant. But after absorbing it and getting a taste of its benefits, it absorbed the Earth Spirit Liquid as soon as it touched the eggshell.

Finally, the egg drank the entire bottle of Earth Spirit Liquid, and Su Yan's curiosity about the egg reached its peak. "What exactly are you?"

[Host can try the Evolution Elixir from the system shop, but it's a bit pricey, costing 200000 points per drop.]

[Evolution Elixir?] Su Yan thought for a moment and decided to splurge, spending 200000 points.

A drop of golden elixir appeared in the system space.

Two hundred thousand points!

Su Yan felt a pang of regret, mainly because she didn't know if this little thing was worth spending so many points on.

After examining the purple-patterned egg for a while, he finally dripped the golden spiritual liquid onto it. "So what if it's a waste? Let's see what it is."

Damn curiosity!

The golden liquid took quite a while to be absorbed after being dripped onto the surface.

Then slowly, the purple patterns on the egg began to change... The originally purple patterns gradually turned into gold.

"No way, you spent so many points just to get a tattoo?" Su Yan was speechless.

"It's evolving," Xiao Mei said to Su Yan. "Host, you can buy another drop to try."

Su Yan stared at the egg for a long while, then gritted her teeth. "I finally understand the gambler's mentality; it's all about not being willing to give up!"

With gritted teeth and a determined heart, I said, "Give me five drops! I refuse to believe I can't get it to hatch."

Five drops of golden evolution liquid were absorbed by the egg, making the golden patterns more numerous and magnificent, with a dazzling light.

[I lost 120 million points, Xiao Mei, you really tricked me.] Su Yan put the egg with the new tattoo back into the jade box.

"Host... well, you'll find out soon," Xiao Mei replied.

Su Yan put away the jade box, transformed into a little white mouse, and climbed up the tree.

They climbed for quite a while, but still couldn't reach the top of the tree.

Then, feeling resentful, he thought, "If I can't hatch an egg, can't I at least climb to the top of a tree?"

They teleported directly to the top of the tree.

However, atop the tree stood a person with purple hair and eyes, wearing a long golden robe with mysterious patterns. Just a glance at the robe was enough to make one dizzy, and a closer look was enough to stun one's soul.

"Yan Yan~" Zi Qi stretched out her slender, jade-white hand.

Su Yan tentatively placed her little paws in his hand. Unlike before, when his palm always felt cold to her, now it was very warm. She wished she could lie in his palm. "...Am I dreaming?"

Ziqi laughed, and the world instantly lost its color. "No, I suddenly entered a hibernation period and took a nap. I'm sorry to have worried you."

Su Yan looked up at him. In the sunlight, he looked like a god, making her feel somewhat surreal.

Is she really not dreaming, or is she under some kind of illusion?

【Xiao Mei?】

【exist. 】

Is he really Ziqi? I clearly saw him die with my own eyes; the video you provided couldn't be fake, right?

He awakened his inherited bloodline, making him even more powerful than before.

[...So, what is his beast form?] Su Yan really wanted to know. If it weren't for the upcoming competition for fertility among females, she would have had a child to expose his secret.

"This..." Xiaomei hesitated again.

【you tell me.】

[It's not that I don't want to tell the host, but a previous host refused to have children after learning about the beast husband's true form. To prevent this from happening again, the system stipulates that the host must not be told what the beast husband's true form is before the beast husband himself reveals it.]

[...] Su Yan was speechless. "Actually, you could easily find local females. They haven't been exposed to other civilizations, so they'd be more accepting of your existence."

[Host, the system is merely a materialized seed. It is your soul, which has traveled through time and space, that truly incubates it. Why do you think Xiaomei possesses those weapons and armor? Xiaomei is just a system; she couldn't create those things.]

You mean, you originated from me?

[Yes, host. Females who lost the holy war have their memories erased, which means their systems are being wiped clean. Then a new system seed is implanted, and they hatch anew.]

[Wait, let me sort this out...] Su Yan felt something was off, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. "Then how did you know there were 19 hosts before?"

[Xiaomei is different from other systems.]

"Yan Yan?" Zi Qi scooped up Su Yan. "Are you talking to Xiao Mei?"

“…Hmm.” Su Yan looked at him, then climbed up his arm and finally sat on his head. “Standing on a giant’s head, the view is different.”

"Uh...hehe." Ziqi chuckled softly, his voice carrying an extremely pleasant magnetic quality.

As far as the eye can see, all that can be seen are forests of beasts, or a few indistinct hills, also surrounded by forests of beasts.

"There's nothing much to see." Su Yan rolled over and lay down on her back with her legs in the air. "I missed you so much."

Zi Qi's pupils trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Yes, I promised to help you obtain the position of Holy Consort, and I will never go back on my word."
