Many descendants

The Beast World, an unnamed island.

"So, you've lived all this time, but you haven't accumulated any wealth..."

Su Yan originally thought that finding a divine beast as a beast husband would ensure the child's food and drink would not be a problem. After all, given his age, even if he saved one spiritual material each year, it would be enough to support the child.

But after seeing the few spiritual materials that Qing Linghuan had taken out, he didn't know what to say for a long time.

In the end, she had no choice but to take out the Chaos Fruit, Divine Elixir, and Divine Flowers and Herbs that she had scavenged from her cheap master's tomb.

"Watch closely! Your little cub needs to eat this standard food to grow up! My dear Heavenly Fox husband, you need to go hunting."

"...Chaos Fruit? Where did it come from?" Qing Linghuan picked up a black and white fruit and ate it.

Su Yan: "..."

Well, not only are they poor, but they also have to fight with their children for food!

[Xiaomei, let's be honest, besides having good genes, in what way does he compare to my previous beastly husband?]

"That...is true!" Xiao Mei mumbled, "Strength! Yes, he's incredibly strong! He came back from another world to the Beast World in the blink of an eye, before Xiao Mei's time machine had even finished copying him."

Su Yan: "Isn't that still about genes? If my other beast husbands had his uniquely advantageous innate conditions, they'd all be just as good, right?"

"These Chaos Fruits aren't poisonous, eat them." Qing Linghuan picked two Chaos Fruits and fed them to her.

Su Yan was so hungry she couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately opened her mouth and ate it. An indescribable bitter taste filled her mouth. "It tastes awful!"

"There are two kinds of Chaos Fruits: poisonous and non-poisonous. Even low-level minor gods cannot withstand the poisonous ones, as they can directly poison even the godhood of the divine beings. The non-poisonous ones are naturally a great tonic. However, non-poisonous Chaos Trees are extremely rare, and they look exactly the same as the poisonous ones. In the ancient times, there were many Chaos Fruit Trees, and countless divine beasts were poisoned to death by them."

"I see." Su Yan was a little embarrassed. "I thought you were fighting with the child for food."

Qing Linghuan smiled and said, "This thing is indeed beneficial to me. Without this Chaos Fruit, I would have slept for thousands of years after the Twelve-Tailed Heavenly Tribulation and the divine power I lost when I returned here."

“…Sleep for thousands of years!” Su Yan touched her belly. “Then your child will have to call someone else’s dad.”

Qing Linghuan's face instantly darkened. "Who dares!"

“If his biological father isn’t here, of course I’ll find him a stepfather. I have so many good beast husbands, they can all help raise him.” Su Yan endured the bitterness and ate another Chaos Fruit. “No more, it’s too disgusting.”

"You have so many good beast husbands?" Qing Linghuan's expression was inscrutable.

Su Yan immediately became wary. "What are you going to do? They're all in front of you. Don't be fooled by your age; they're still the younger ones."

Qing Linghuan: "...Fine, I won't touch them. You stay here and rest. I'm going to the Netherworld Continent."

“I’ve wiped out the demon army that invaded the Beast World this time. Do you still dare to go back?” Su Yan fiddled with some pill bottles beside her, one of which was labeled Divine Essence Pill.

He glanced at Qing Linghuan, picked it up and handed it to him, "Don't be afraid that Lan Shi will take his anger out on you, or give you orders to hand me over to vent his anger."

Qing Linghuan put it away. No matter what Su Yan gave him, he now found it all extremely pleasing to the eye. "He simply wants the Netherworld Continent to be as full of spiritual energy and vitality as the Spirit Realm. This time when I went to the Turbid World, I collected some calamity spirits. Those are the most fundamental things of life, but they need to be transformed, enough to keep him busy for thousands of years."

"A calamity?" Su Yan was taken aback.

"Also, aren't you raising children? He has the most of these kinds of treasures."

"I have a question, is Lan Shi's true form a fallen angel?" Su Yan asked, recalling what Fal had said.

Qing Linghuan replied, "Fallen angel? Heh, he did disguise himself for a while and hasn't been discovered by the Beast God yet. His true form is a red dragon, and he's most skilled at transformation and collecting treasures."

"Red Dragon?"

"The Mutant Dragon was born into the Azure Dragon Clan, but he was ostracized and bullied by his clan from a young age. Later, when he grew up and gained power, he plundered the Azure Dragon Clan's treasure trove. He then opened up the Netherworld Continent and recruited a bunch of rabble."

"Did he join some special organization?" Why did 009821 transform into his appearance?

"No, he loves treasure, loves himself, and is lazy. How could he allow himself to be controlled?"

“There is a system administrator who looks exactly like the one you exiled. He once transformed into Lan Shi’s appearance and wanted to make a deal with me.”

"Lan Shi did mention that when the Netherworld Continent was creating its space, it received help from a mysterious person. This person could come and go freely within the Netherworld Continent. But I have never seen this person."

"...The system's reach is really long." Su Yan sighed. Not to mention, this vast beast world was built by the system.

Well!……

Su Yan suddenly looked up at the sky. [Xiao Mei?]

"What are your orders, host?" Xiao Mei replied immediately.

Su Yan: [Yeah, it's nothing, I just missed you.]

[Xiao Mei likes the host too, but still wants to remind the host that it's time to eat.] Xiao Mei's voice was sweet.

Su Yan picked up a fist-sized, golden-yellow fruit and asked Qing Linghuan, "What is this? Is it poisonous?"

“Huang Zi is poisonous.” Qing Linghuan carefully picked through the fruits, flowers and plants that Su Yan had taken out of her space, leaving only a few. “These few are edible, I’ll put the rest away.”

"Ah I……"

Xiao Mei can detoxify.

Xiao Mei replied, "Host, please be cautious. I don't have data on these divine materials. If we harm the divine embryo or offspring, the losses outweigh the gains."

"Even you can't handle this?" Su Yan asked in surprise.

[Xiao Mei's system data doesn't include any divine beast offspring. The previous nineteen hosts only gave birth to offspring up to the Saint rank. This host is the first to successfully conceive a divine beast offspring.]

What's the reason?

[The fact that the host, a divine beast, never mates with a divine beast isn't that she never conceives. So Xiaomei wonders if it's because of her divine status. The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is a disqualified divine beast, but its genes are definitely divine beast level.]

[I know what you mean. But I don't think it has anything to do with divinity. My pregnancy with the little celestial fox must have had a cause. I can't quite explain the feeling. The fertility pill failed, and as for Qing Linghuan, you said you liked him... a little, after all, he's so handsome, and I'm a sucker for good looks. But it wasn't anything deep, let alone love. The natural gestation wasn't because my feelings for him were far from reaching the level of Zi Qi's.]

[At the time the host was pregnant, it coincided with the time I returned the emotional cache to the host. Was this related to other emotions?]

Is it the feeling of missing one's son?

Su Yan missed all the children, especially Manman, who was sent back with a completely bald head and no hair. She didn't know if it had grown back. And then there was Xiao Ba, that egg-shaped baby...

[Xiaomei, could you bring Xiaoba back to me? I want to cuddle with it for a while to see if it can hatch.]

Okay, I've brought them over. Little Seven is lying on Little Eight, so I brought them along too.
