Many descendants

Su Yan quickly took the little guy out of the system space.

Seeing her pitiful state, his anger surged to its limit, "Who!? Who dares to hurt my child!?"

Xiao Mei was in hibernation when she suddenly noticed that her host's anger level was soaring, so she quickly started the program to check on her host's situation.

[It is the Ghost Phoenix, the host's fifth offspring.]

I know, I only gave birth to one bird.

[Name: Ming Yuzhen; Gender: Female; Beast Form: Ghost Phoenix; Talent: Earth-Rank Fire-type; Talent: Quasi-Heaven-Rank Dark-type.]

Su Yan's hands trembled slightly as she cradled the pitiful little creature in her arms, her eyes brimming with tears. She asked cautiously, "Is she... still alive?"

[The substitute talisman the host prepared for her offspring has worked; she is still alive. The reason she was disemboweled is that her talent soul orb was stolen.]

"What?!" Su Yan's voice was shrill.

The pain of losing her child caused her to lose control.

[Host...] Xiao Mei paused for a moment before continuing, [The host can use 20000 points to restore the talent soul orb that was taken from their offspring.]

"I want to recover!" Su Yan agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, host," Xiao Mei replied.

Su Yan watched as her daughter, wretchedly in her arms, had a small, warm, and soft point of light appear in her gaping chest. Slowly, that point of light began to split into countless smaller ones, eventually enveloping the tiny body.

The entire process takes one day.

Su Yan pressed her face against her daughter's body, her heart aching with pain, and remained motionless for a long time. "Ming Linyuan, if you can't raise a child, then you shouldn't raise one at all!"

Finally, Su Yan returned her daughter to the system space, her face as cold as frost, her expression astonishing.

I want to know who hurt her!

[Host, wait a moment. 】

Not long after, Xiaomei played a video for Su Yan.

A room with a very warm and exquisite layout.

On a large, comfortable, luxurious round bed, a newly hatched, grayish-fuzzy baby bird is curled up and sleeping.

Suddenly, the baby bird awoke with a start.

It looked toward the doorway, its dark eyes filled with vigilance.

A person shrouded in a gray wide-brimmed cloak entered, carrying a bloodstained, black dagger.

He exuded the aura of a magical beast.

He grabbed the baby bird.

A rough voice rang out, "The profound mysteries of the Dark Rules, though incomplete, are valuable because they are newly born and easy to seize."

Sensing a threat to its life, the fledgling opened its beak and spat out a fireball, chirping anxiously.

The fireball struck the gray-clad man on the head, burning off one side of his hat brim and revealing half of his face tattooed with dense blue characters.

Su Yan shouted: [Pause, zoom in.]

The video paused, zooming in on the face of the man in gray.

The words on her face looked like some kind of spell. Su Yan asked, "Can you translate the words on my face?"

[This is a rune from the Dark Continent. The pigment is made from the unclean soil of Mount Wanmo on the Dark Continent, mixed with the blood of the ferocious beast Taotie. When applied to the face, it enhances the rune's magic. If the host is interested in rune-type spells, the system has a book called "The Complete Book of Runes" available for only 5 points.]

【purchase.】

[Okay, it's been placed in the host's space and can be accessed at any time.]

Is this person a magical beast from the Dark Continent?

He was a hybrid of a monster and an orc. In modern terms, he would also be called a Phantom Monster.

[No wonder it can transform into human form and speak human language. Continue playing the video.]

The man in gray stared at the fledgling in astonishment. "It even has fire-type talent. Ming Linyuan, Ming Linyuan, I never imagined you not only had offspring, but also possessed such high talent. What a pity, it's destined to become a bride for the princess!"

With a swift stroke, he scraped off the fledgling's downy feathers, then cut open her chest, revealing a shimmering bead radiating a golden-red light.

A greedy, bloodthirsty light flashed in the gray-clad man's eyes. "Talent Soul Bead!" He stretched out a hand like the claws of a raptor, its long, sharp black armor gleaming, and snatched the glowing bead!

Su Yan's heart ached terribly when she saw this...

My poor daughter!

The fledgling bird let out a weak, mournful cry before losing its life!

The man in gray grinned savagely as he looked at the baby bird's corpse. He pulled a black bottle from his sleeve, and an evil aura emanated from it.

The man in gray opened the bottle and poured out a drop of thick black liquid, which landed on the dead baby bird.

The baby bird's body instantly turned into a small pool of blood.

The gray-clad man's eyes were filled with greed. He admired the Talent Soul Bead for a while longer before finally turning into a wisp of demonic energy and disappearing.

After he left, the blood that the fledgling bird had turned into a silver-white talisman.

A gust of wind blew by, and the talisman turned into shimmering dust that drifted away.

After the video finished playing, Su Yan was still unable to calm down for a long time.

Who is that man in gray? I want him dead!

[Host, the childbirth system must not be used as a tool for revenge.]

Who is he?

[Dark Continent, Third Demon King, Left Familiar, Galie Asbud Balru.]

"Can you teleport me to his side? I want to kill him with my own hands!"

[The host is pregnant and intercontinental teleportation is temporarily unavailable.]

"Damn it!" Su Yan said angrily, "What about my daughter's innate soul bead? Can it be retrieved?"

[The host has already spent points to create a new Talent Soul Orb for their offspring. The original Talent Soul Orb can also be retrieved. At that time, the two Soul Orbs will fuse, and the Dark Rules will become a unified whole, complete and flawless.]

The Imperial Clan Secretary has returned.

Seeing that Su Yan's face looked terrible and she was clearly angry, his heart skipped a beat. "Su Yan, what's wrong?"

"I want to kill the Phantom Beasts!" Since she can't go to the Dark Continent to kill Galie Asbud Balru for the time being, she'll kill all the Phantom Beasts! She'll lure them here!

Zong Sili assumed she was worried about the test, "I've already taken care of it."

He took out a gray crystal core and a large piece of cleaned venison from the alternate dimension.

Su Yan stared intently at the gray crystal core, tore off a piece of tender flesh, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

That's how they eat meat in the West End—raw meat. And she's also been craving raw meat since she got pregnant.

But the East District is different; people there generally eat cooked food.

So when Zong Sili saw Su Yan stuff meat, still with traces of blood, directly into her mouth, he was dumbfounded.

"How about I grill it for you?"

"No need, it tastes good as is." For orcs, raw meat is easier to digest than cooked meat, so Xiaomei also suggested that she eat more raw food.

Zong Sili watched as she finished eating a whole deer, then wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said, "More."

"..." Zong Sili didn't expect her to have such a big appetite. "Well, I'll go hunting now, I'll be there soon!"

"Are there any rare and precious medicinal herbs?"

"Yes, yes, I found a thousand-year-old ginseng and two nine-petaled lotuses."

Su Yan told him to put it down and urged him to continue hunting.
