Many descendants

Lena entered the hall.

Su Yan said to the maid, "Go and prepare breakfast."

"No need, I've already eaten," Lena replied.

"Eat with me, I'm still hungry."

"That's fine."

"Hey~ I saw you being dragged away by Ethan last night, any updates?"

"I enjoyed the Angel Set Meal again."

"Hehe, that's fine too."

"Cough~ I just want to go back to the fox den today. Be careful here by yourself. I think that Lin Xue'er... no, I mean Cressy, is not a good person."

Su Yan replied, "More than that. She also has a younger aunt, who is also Fal's own aunt. She tried to attack me last night. As a result, Fal banned her from entering the Holy Palace at will."

"Huh?" Lena frowned. "Then how about... how about I stay with you a little longer and protect you until you give birth?"

As she spoke, she took out her sword again.

Su Yan smiled and said, "No need, I'm safe." As long as Xiao Mei is alright, no demons or monsters can hurt her.

“You can stay a few more days if you want. I need to prepare for my marriage ceremony with Far, so you can be my bridesmaid,” Su Yan said with a smile.

Lena looked at her in surprise, "Really?"

Su Yan nodded, then touched her belly, "We have to give the children a proper status. If we were on another continent, like the Lichuan 9908 continent I came from, it would be incredibly lucky to have children who are our own. Even if they aren't our own, it would be wonderful to raise one."

Here, however, there was a hierarchy of status, a division into different classes. For children born out of wedlock, it wouldn't matter much to ordinary people, but for royalty and nobility, birth was extremely important.

"We don't have so many rules in our Fox Den. If it weren't for the fact that participation in the Holy War is mandatory, I wouldn't be competing for the Holy Maiden title. Especially seeing you now, I don't feel happy at all."

"Having a pair of angel babies is a wonderful thing."

"Ah."

"This is my ninth and tenth child." Su Yan touched her belly. "I wonder if Little Eight has hatched yet? What does it look like?"

"The eighth oviparous, just one?"

"Yes."

“I had my first litter of twenty-three!” Lena said, recounting her children. “But I can’t remember the name of the first one. Her name was Nina Lanno.”

"Very nice names." Su Yan remembered the names of all her children, and their appearances were all clearly imprinted in her memory.

Su Yan stroked the spatial ring on her ring finger and took out a talisman from it.

The inscription reads: "Zong Sili, Zong Yunhui (Grape) – Longing for your return!"

They quickly put it away again.

I held back the tears welling up in my eyes.

The breakfast has arrived.

Su Yan and Lena ended their conversation about the children.

After they finished breakfast, a court tailor came over to take Su Yan's measurements and prepare the empress's dress she would wear for the marriage ceremony.

When Su Yan asked, she learned that she would have to wear ten different outfits that day. Including the backups, there would be at least twenty outfits.

Lena also had a few new outfits made.

……

"I think I agreed a bit hastily." Su Yan looked at the marriage procedure booklet that the court official had given her and tossed it to Lena.

Lena, with a piece of fruit in her mouth, happily picked up the program booklet while standing on tiptoe, then glanced at it back at Su Yan, saying, "I'm in a similar situation; being a bridesmaid isn't easy."

Far brought Ethan to the garden entrance, but when he heard Su Yan complaining about the trouble of getting married, he quickly pulled Ethan away.

Let's go later.

"What's wrong?" Ethan, who had seen Lena, seemed reluctant to leave and kept looking back.

"It took me a lot of effort to get her to agree to be my partner."

"Ah."

"She seems to be in a bad mood right now. If I go over now, she might get agitated and refuse to get married."

Ethan was speechless. "...Fal, when did you become so cautious? You used to be quite carefree and unconventional."

“You have no idea how important she is to me.” After saying this, Farr seemed to remember something and looked at Ethan, because he had said the same thing before…

Ethan patted him on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go to my place for a drink."

“Okay.” Far nodded.

When we arrived at Xiao Li's Private Kitchen, there was a sign hanging at the door saying it was temporarily closed, and the inside was deserted.

Ethan mixed a drink for Far. "Lena's not leaving, is she?"

"I'm not leaving yet; it's the wedding ceremony, and she's Yan Yan's bridesmaid."

"If you don't mind that I'm a widower, I'll be your best man."

“I don’t want it,” Far immediately refused.

"I have some not-so-good news for you. I heard from Yan Yan that Lena has been getting close to Jack lately. You have a rival now."

"..." Ethan paused, holding his wine glass. "Hmm, it's been a while since we've had a fight. How about we go to the Beast Tower tonight?"

"You're torturing people, huh? Fine. I want to have a pair of pure white angels to keep Yan Yan company tonight."

"You... are just like I was back then. Good luck."

"You too."

……

Su Yan actually saw Far and Ethan on the system map and heard their conversation.

Far was actually being a little too anxious about her; she had experienced that same insecurity before, and she didn't want him to be like that. She hoped that after the child was born, out of his paternal instincts, he would focus all his attention on the child.

“Lena, Ethan doesn’t seem to treat you the way you think. He should have moved on from his ex-wife.”

Lena nodded. "I know, he told me that too. But if you had to choose between the fox den and him, what would you choose?"

"Never mind what I said." Su Yan naturally chose the fox den.

Lena remembered something, and her eyes lit up. "Let's go to the Beast Tower together tonight? Jack has a match he invited me to watch."

Su Yan remembered the time she went to the Hundred Beasts Tower to watch the competition. "Lena, is there a Hundred Beasts Tower on your Holy War continent?"

“No,” Lena replied. “There’s an arena and a maze. Many teams die in the arena and the maze. In the end, only two or three teams can clear them. Tong Nanxi and I are the only two teams that survived, so we didn’t even have to fight for a spot.”

"My team mostly eliminates opponents from each other."

"Either way, I'm going to die, sigh! Should I go check it out tonight?"

"I'm not going. I doubt Far would let me go anyway. The thought of him keeping an eye on me for a whole year makes me feel exhausted."

"A year isn't long, it'll be over soon. At first, I thought you were going to be pregnant for a hundred or eighty years."

"Please spare me. By now, I would have already given birth."

"What kind of beast race is the one with purple eyes among Sister Su's other beast husbands?"

When Su Yan heard her mention Zi Qi, she asked, "What happened to him?"

"Hehe, I took the initiative to greet him during the third stage."
