Many descendants

"Why are there still more?" Su Yan frowned.

It's a virus within the procreation system, which came to the Beast World continent with us. Xiao Mei also looked for it but didn't detect its presence.

This is a very cunning mutated virus, as I mentioned to the main system last time. The main system wants its mutation data, which might be related to the Zerg. Therefore, it granted me the authority to use the main system's resources to extract complete mutation data before eliminating it.

[Related to insects and beasts?] A deep disgust flashed in Su Yan's eyes.

Yes. Actually, even if the main system didn't require it, Xiaomei would still want its mutation data.

"...You want to use it in the game you developed yourself, right?"

[The host is indeed intelligent.]

"Tch~ Such petty thoughts of yours. But it seems like around this time before, the birth virus began to invade the Beast World continent, creating many phantom beasts."

[Does the host remember where the birth virus was located? Let's go there and kill it.]

Remember, go tonight.

Seeing Su Yan frown at her, Sun Manrou's face also darkened. Just a rat, of humble origins; if she hadn't given His Majesty a child, would she have been able to enter the Divine Beast Academy?

"Su Yan, what do you mean?"

"Huh?" Su Yan snapped out of her daze and, seeing Sun Manrou speaking to her, asked, "What's wrong with me?"

"Why are you frowning when you look at me?" Sun Manrou became increasingly angry.

Zi Qiao'er had been instructed by Zi Qi to take good care of Su Yan, so no matter what, she couldn't let Su Yan suffer any grievances while she was here.

“Sun Manrou, where did Su Yan frown at you? You must be seeing things, right, Liu Qianxi?”

Liu Qianxi always followed Zi Qiao'er's lead without question, and said without thinking, "Yes, Manrou, you must be seeing things."

Dongfang Yan saw Su Yan frown at Sun Manrou, and even a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, otherwise Sun Manrou would not have reacted so strongly.

But since Zi Qiao'er was protecting Su Yan, she pretended not to know.

Wen Yixin didn't notice at all, but still offered a word of advice, "Manrou, are you on your period? Why are you so sensitive? You don't even know Sister Su Yan. Even if she's frowning, maybe it's something else."

Before Su Yan could even speak, everyone started speaking in her favor, which was quite unexpected.

"Wen is right, I did think of something else. The little prince didn't seem to drink much milk yesterday, and I'm a little worried."

"Speaking of the little prince, what level of fertility does Sister Su Yan have? I heard that His Majesty's talent is at the peak of the Spirit Rank, which is a super-high level of fertility. Even then, it might not be possible to conceive His Majesty's child."

"This may be related to my talent."

"Talent? Could it be..."

A tiny flame flickered at Su Yan's fingertip. "I have a fire-type talent."

On this point alone, all the females except Sun Manrou were convinced, because even if they had fertility, they didn't have the talent for it.

After all, it is extremely rare for a female to have such talent, and even those with such talent are not necessarily fertile. Those who possess both are even rarer.

Zi Qiao'er said with envy, "Our Divine Beast Academy didn't have a single male with fire-type talent this time, but I didn't expect to have one among our females."

There's no comparison. Talent is innate; if you have to blame someone, you can only blame your parents for not giving you any talent.

Su Yan looked at Zi Qiao'er, recalling how, after she married into the Northern District, she initially acted capriciously and caused trouble, but later had three children with her beastly husband, totaling six offspring, and was highly valued by her in-laws. Seemingly a desolate place, it was far removed from the past troubles, offering a different kind of prosperity, and she lived until the very end, when time restarted.

"Zi, look over there, there are so many males watching." She's already taken, so no one would want to compete with the Beast King for a female; they can only watch these pampered and noble ladies.

Zi Qiao'er instantly reverted to her aloof demeanor, "Who cares about them? They have neither talent nor good looks."

Zong Sili passed by the males, carrying a paper bag and talking to the classmate next to him.

"Really? I think Zong Sili is quite good." Su Yan said with a smile.

Sure enough, all the females changed their expressions at the mention of Zong Sili.

“Brother Sili is mine,” Wen Yixin declared first.

Liu Qianxi also objected, "I, I also like Senior Sili."

Zi Qiao'er was indeed interested, but she didn't show it too obviously. "It also depends on whether Senior Zong Sili likes you. And, I have some good news for you!"

"What good news?" Liu Qianxi, Zi Qiao'er's good partner, immediately picked up the conversation, determined not to let it fall to the ground.

Su Yan roughly knew what she was talking about...

“Zong Sili has exceptionally high talent and has already entered the Spirit Rank. One of you has above-average fertility, and the other has below-average fertility. You should honestly find other males.” Zi Qiao’er looked at Sun Manrou. “Pei Xuan is also at the Spirit Rank, so you have no chance.”

“I have superior fertility, so why is there no chance?” Sun Manrou protested. “It’s just talent. I’ve heard there are secret methods to develop talent.”

"What secret technique?" Wen Yixin asked immediately.

Sun Manrou said, "Want to know? That depends on my mood."

As he spoke, he glanced at Su Yan.

Su Yan realized that she was not welcome, so she packed her things and said, "Please continue your conversation. I've finished breakfast, so please excuse me."

Zi Qiao'er asked, "Su Yan, whose classes did you attend today?"

“Elder Zong, Elder Zhang, Vice Dean Zhou, and the Dean’s class,” Su Yan replied.

"Okay, let's sit together in class as the dean."

"Okay, I'm going now."

"See you."

……

After Su Yan left, she stopped after walking a short distance. Then she opened the system map, wanting to hear what the secret technique Sun Manrou had mentioned was.

"...The secret technique is a forbidden art. I only heard about it from an elder," Sun Manrou said softly.

None of the females were afraid of the forbidden technique; on the contrary, they were all very curious and crowded around to listen.

“A sacrifice!” Sun Manrou said.

"Sacrifice?" As a member of the royal family, Zi Qiao'er's knowledge and experience far surpassed that of ordinary noblewomen. So, upon hearing this, she immediately recognized it as an evil practice and stood up, saying, "I've finished eating. I'm going to visit my aunt, the headmistress. I'll take my leave now."

Liu Qianxi wanted to continue listening, but being a habitual follower of Zi Qiao'er, she eventually followed her.

Wen Yixin and Dongfang Yan were left behind, both still very curious to know.

Sun Manrou glanced at Liu Qianxi with disdain before saying, "Zi Qiao'er is a princess and is very much favored by His Majesty. Her future marriage will certainly be chosen according to her own wishes. If we don't put in some effort, there are only a few good males available, so how could it possibly be our turn?"

Wen Yixin was particularly curious about the secret method, so she nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, Sister Manrou is right, we need to put in some effort."
