Many descendants

"Yes, I know he went." To avenge Manman and retrieve Manman's talent soul bead.

"When I entered the Dark Continent this time, I encountered two Demon Kings at the same time. Fortunately, he appeared in time, and I had a chance to escape. But..." Zong Sili didn't know whether he should tell Su Yan.

"Continue." Su Yan looked at his expression and felt a strange sensation.

“He… is the Demon King!” Zong Sili said, though he really didn’t want to believe it.

But the truth is that Ming Linyuan got along very well with the first and second demon kings of the Dark Continent, and they had a very close relationship. He even called the two demon kings his eldest brother and second brother, and he was the fourth brother!

"The Demon King?" Su Yan shook her head. "Impossible, Manman is perfectly fine."

Genes don't lie.

"It's hard to believe, but the demonic energy emanating from him is indeed from the Dark Continent."

"Host, hurry to the Dark Continent, otherwise more females will suffer from the virus." Xiao Mei urged Su Yan.

Su Yan looked up at Zong Sili. If she told him she wanted to go to the Dark Continent, he definitely wouldn't agree.

[Xiaomei, going to the Dark Continent is something you want to do, right?]

【…】

If you use the system's power without deducting my points, I agree to accompany you on this journey.

No. The virus will detect me and hide, escaping.

【What should we do? 】

Suddenly, Su Yan had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

“I once heard a rumor, but at the time I thought it was just a joke and didn’t take it to heart. Now I think it might not be without reason.”

"What rumor? About Ming Linyuan?"

"Yes. It is said that the old patriarch of the Ghost Phoenix Clan, who is also Ming Linyuan's mother, once traveled to the Dark Continent."

After returning from there, she married a male member of the White Phoenix Clan who was not of pure blood.

Not long after the two got married, the old clan chief became pregnant.

The male of the White Phoenix Clan was lewd and restless, having fathered illegitimate children with females of other bird clans. The old clan chief did not make things difficult for him and let him leave.

A century later, the old patriarch had a son named Ming Linyuan. He lived in seclusion and entrusted all clan affairs to several elders until Ming Linyuan came of age and took over as patriarch.

Ming Linyuan inadvertently revealed another of his secret techniques besides the wood element: Devour!

"Devour? That's not a magical beast..." Su Yan's expression changed drastically.

"That's it. It makes people suspect that the old patriarch was not pregnant with a child of the White Phoenix Clan, but with a child of a high-level demon from the Dark Continent. But the old patriarch denied it outright, and Ming Linyuan also possesses the unique shape-shifting technique of the Ghost Phoenix Clan's pure bloodline, so this rumor is debunked."

Su Yan thought of Manman, whose innate secrets, besides fire, also included—quasi-rule darkness!

"Since it's just a rumor, let's just listen to it. My daughter is perfectly fine, so he's obviously alright." Su Yan lost her appetite and fed the remaining half of the fruit to Zong Sili. "Don't waste it."

Zong Sili opened his mouth to eat, and his lips inevitably touched Su Yan's fingers.

Su Yan's heart trembled slightly, and the next moment she probed between his lips and teeth with her finger...

……

The night is dark.

Su Yan was exhausted. After indulging herself with Zong Sili several times, she was too weak to move.

However, Xiao Mei, being very dedicated, urged her to hurry to the Dark Continent.

And they assured her that they would protect her personal safety, especially the safety of the fetus.

Su Yan then agreed to make the trip.

Zong Sili has returned to the academy. He obtained a lot of information from the Dark Continent during this trip and will be busy for some time.

Su Yan told him not to come looking for her for the time being, and to deal with the matter on the Dark Continent first. In fact, she was also going to the Dark Continent, so his trip would be pointless.

She put the restless Manman into the system space and changed her into a light-colored maternity dress that accentuated her waist and big belly.

[Xiaomei, is there a reward for this errand?]

[Besides points, what else does the host want?]

I just want the points.

[Sorry, host. You can look at the items in the system shop and pick anything you like.]

Ten items!

[...maximum two items!]

Nine items.

Two items!

Eight items.

Two items!

……

Three items! No less, or I'm quitting.

"Three items!" Xiao Mei agreed.

I'll choose some more when I have time.

[The host can choose at any time.]

Su Yan left the hostel and walked down the street.

She opened the system map and looked at the people that appeared on it.

Not far after we walked, a red dot suddenly appeared on the map.

It's very close, just in the alley ahead.

Moreover, there is a spatial rift next to that red dot!

Su Yan, heavily pregnant, quickly walked over.

Her plan was to find the same magical beast that had tried to abduct Dongfang Yan that day, and have it take her to the Dark Continent, or even to the system virus.

This method is both time-saving and labor-saving, and it can quickly find system viruses.

Su Yan, heavily pregnant, turned into the alley.

A man with a blank stare and somewhat stiff limbs looked at Su Yan.

Upon seeing her, I was initially puzzled.

Then, seeing Su Yan's large belly, his blank eyes suddenly lost all whites and turned completely black.

He rushed towards Su Yan like lightning.

Su Yan was so frightened that she turned and ran away... This wasn't an act; she was genuinely terrified.

The Phantom Beast is faster.

Su Yan was caught after running only a few steps.

He then slashed her carotid artery with a knife.

They almost killed Su Yan, but luckily Xiao Mei protected her.

The Phantom Beast carried Su Yan into the spatial rift...

Su Yan asked Xiao Mei, "What do you think of this idea?"

[The host is exceptionally intelligent; no wonder this system chose you!]

Don't forget to praise yourself.

Su Yan laughed. [Like an old man selling melons, praising his own wares.]

******

The Beast World Continent and the Dark Continent are like the world of the living and the world of the dead.

There is light in the world of the living, and there is darkness.

Light, the source of all things. Darkness, the source of all things.

And in the underworld, there is both light and darkness.

Light, and all things die. Darkness, and all things perish.

The Dark Continent is devoid of living beings; the monsters are spirits born from death. They devour everything on the Beast World, seeking to become the light and darkness of the mortal realm.

Therefore, there has never been a moment when the Dark Continent didn't want to invade the Beast World. The war never stopped for even a second.

Su Yan was carried upside down on the shoulder of the Illusionary Demon Beast.

The pregnant woman was being pressed down, and it was really a good thing that Xiaomei was there, otherwise she would have crushed the baby.

The air in the Dark Continent made her dizzy, nauseous, and unable to breathe properly.

[The host can take one antidote pill, making them immune to all poisons.]

[You should have said so earlier; this shouldn't count towards my points.]

[Okay, it's a free gift for the host.]

That's more like it.

After taking the antidote, Su Yan finally felt relieved and was able to properly observe her surroundings.
