Many descendants

Pei Xuan stopped and turned to look at her.

Seeing the complicated look in his eyes, Su Yan thought there was something on his face, so she raised her hand and wiped it. "What's wrong?"

“Once a male has children, the female who bears his children is his wife. Unless she dies or explicitly says that she does not need him to be her husband, he may not have a second female for the rest of his life.”

Su Yan was taken aback. "There's such a rule? Then I..."

The conversation suddenly stopped.

She gave birth to three litters for three males, so doesn't that mean she already has three male lovers?

Aside from Zulu, who is already dead, there are two others... wait, she enters a state of suspended animation after giving birth, so they probably thought she was dead too.

Now that they're all dead, they won't be hanging on this wild tree branch anymore.

Thinking about this, Su Yan was truly grateful for the fake death setting that the system had arranged for her.

After giving birth, she can feign death for a period of time. As long as she isn't burned and is buried completely, she can escape. This won't affect the mate selection of the male who gave birth.

As for the child, they can take him if they want, or she can raise him herself if they don't.

However, in the beast world, it is always the males who raise the offspring. They are not a burden, but rather something to be proud of. Only males without offspring are looked down upon and perceived as having lost some kind of ability.

Conversely, having the female care for the offspring is, to some extent, an insult to the male and even the male family.

After Ashley gave birth, she entrusted all her children to Lin Lang's care without any burden. She even praised Lin Lang to everyone she met, saying that he had taken such good care of the babies, making them plump, healthy, and incredibly strong.

Lin Lang was also the envy of his clansmen.

"What's wrong?" Pei Xuan asked when she stopped talking.

Su Yan shook her head, clearing her mind of those thoughts, and smiled, "It's nothing. What about Xiao Hao's mother?"

Pei Xuan glanced at her again, then silently walked forward.

Xiao Hao let out a soft "Awoo~" and hugged her neck, whining and acting all cute...

Pei Xuan didn't receive such treatment, so when he heard Xiao Hao's coquettish whimpers, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"died!"

"..." Su Yan's expression froze. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright, she probably won't mind." Pei Xuan led her to a cliff.

To reach the mansion hidden in the mountains, you first need to climb a cliff.

Su Yan was speechless. Her true form was a mouse, so it wasn't that she couldn't climb, but it was just too much of a struggle.

Pei Xuan reached out to Su Yan, "I'll take you upstairs."

"Thank you." Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief and placed her hand in his palm.

The warm, hot palm sent a jolt through her body. "Um... how's your talent?"

These words were asked without any thought, purely out of instinct.

The fertility system constantly urges her to have a child; whenever she encounters a suitable male, her body involuntarily enters a mission-oriented state.

Pei Xuan looked at her, "Talent: Half-Spirit Realm."

"Half-Spirit Realm? What's that?" This was the first time Su Yan had ever heard of a Half-Spirit Realm talent. Aren't they all just heaven, earth, black, yellow, blue, green, and red?

Pei Xuan continued, "After the Heavenly Rank comes the Spirit Rank. The Half-Spirit Realm is the initial stage of the Spirit Rank."

Su Yan's eyes suddenly lit up!

Omg!

Why would she go to the Mythical Beast Academy?!

Isn't this a perfect male? And he's even at the Spirit Rank, which is higher than the Heaven Rank.

[Warning to the host: The mortal beast-level procreation system has not evolved to the spirit beast level and cannot procreate beyond its level.] Xiao Mei's cold voice rang in Su Yan's mind, completely extinguishing any excitement she had just felt.

Su Yan hadn't heard Xiao Mei's voice in a long time and missed it quite a bit. [System update complete?]

[Yes, host. The reproduction system is now functioning normally.] Xiao Mei replied: [The male before you is not yet capable of reproduction with you. Please keep him as a backup and continue searching for other male mortal beasts.]

It's such a waste that such a good source of males can't be used.

Su Yan sighed and hugged Xiao Hao tightly.

Xiao Mei said to Su Yan: "The system shop has new items; host, you can take a look."

Since Xiaomei specifically reminded me, there must be something good in the system shop. I immediately opened it with great joy...

[Beast Taming Pill: Randomly enhances the talent of young beasts (0-1 years old). Maximum of three uses. 1 point.] Su Yan looked at the new items in the system shop and immediately redeemed one.

When she came to her senses from the system, she found herself lying in Pei Xuan's arms, being carried up the mountain as if on flat ground.

Xiao Hao fell asleep in her arms.

Pei Xuan looked down at her, pursed his thin lips, and said, "Excuse me."

"It's alright, it's just that my talent is lacking, and my physical form is also lacking." Su Yan said, looking tenderly at Xiao Hao in her arms. "I have a gift for him, I don't know if you... would like it."

"If he likes it, that's fine." Pei Xuan didn't object.

Su Yan looked up at him and met his bright golden eyes. She was momentarily stunned before saying, "It's food."

“Okay.” Pei Xuan still did not object.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll poison your precious son?"

Pei Xuan looked at her, "You won't."

“Thank you so much for your trust. What kind of talent is it?” Su Yan asked.

“Mysterious rank, lightning element,” Pei Xuan replied.

Su Yan was surprised; this was the same as her little black panther.

Looking down at Xiao Hao, then at Pei Xuan, a thought suddenly arose in her mind...

But that thought quickly faded away.

Pei Xuan's talent is at the Spirit level, but she cannot give birth to a child of the Spirit level.

Once they reached the top of the mountain, Pei Xuan put her down.

Xiao Hao also woke up.

Su Yan took out the Beast Breeding Pill, which could enhance talent, from the system space.

"This is for young animals; it's said to enhance their talents. Of course, how much it enhances them depends on luck. I was in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, so please give this to Xiao Hao."

Pei Xuan's expression instantly turned serious. "It can enhance the talent of young beasts?"

"Yes, luck plays a big part." Su Yan handed him the wooden box containing the pills. "Xiao Hao is your baby. Whether or not he takes them is up to you."

Do you want him to take it?

"Me?" You can't ask her that question, can you? "Heh~ I gave it to her, so I must want her to take it."

As Xiao Hao lay in Su Yan's arms, half asleep with his head on a soft 'pillow,' his father grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and lifted him up.

Just as he opened his mouth to make a sound, a round, sweet thing went down his throat.

Then, a burst of intense lightning erupted from within him.

Su Yan was startled and quickly asked Xiao Mei, "What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Mei didn't answer immediately, waiting a while before saying, "[Talent advancement in progress, the cub is not in danger.]"

[...Why does it feel like your updates are slower than when you weren't updating?]

Xiao Mei ignored her.

Since it's an advancement stage, she doesn't need to worry and can wait and see the final result.

Pei Xuan was very worried; this was his only lifeline!

In the Beast World continent, the higher a male's talent, the harder it is for him to have offspring.

Moreover… Pei Xuan looked at Su Yan, wondering if she might be willing to have a second child with him.
