Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

Sally felt somewhat tempted, but ultimately she refused, "No."

Xiaomei said nothing more.

"Qing Linghuan! I want a Teleportation Gate, how about we make a deal?" Sally called the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox by his name.

Surprised that she knew his true name, Qing Linghuan patted her head with his enormous fox paw, "How do you know?"

"Give me the Teleportation Gate, and I'll tell you," Sally looked at him.

"No," Qing Linghuan replied.

A young man dressed in red wedding attire approached Qing Linghuan with a smile, "I saw you returned to your human form just now, what's the matter?"

"Nothing," Qing Linghuan pinned Sally under his paw.

Sally used the System Map to see the newcomer.

Dark brown hair, tied with a Red Jade Crown, handsome features but paled in comparison to Qing Linghuan. His tall, lean, and athletic body, light honey-colored seductive skin. A pair of cyan-blue double pupils, intimidating to behold!

Sally asked Xiaomei, "Double pupils, is there any meaning to that?" On Earth, this is a kind of eye disease, genetic or pathological, but in the Beast World, it must mean something else.

"Born to be a king," Xiaomei's mood was somewhat low after Sally's determination not to bear children with Qing Linghuan.

"There's a little thing under your paw, quite interesting," the Netherworld Lord looked down at Qing Linghuan's paw pinning Sally.

"She is a little pet I'm raising," Qing Linghuan responded.

"At first glance, I thought it was a louse, it's so small," a three-headed dog demon jeered.

"Is that so? I thought it was a congratulatory gift from Brother Qing," meaning, I am interested in it, consider it a gift to me.

"The congratulatory gift for the Residence Master is here," Qing Linghuan lifted another fox paw, revealing a rectangular box made of redwood.

The Netherworld Lord did not take it, his gaze still fixed on the paw that was holding Sally, "What if I choose this one?"

"She's mine."

"Is that so? But I don't see your mark on her."

"Residence Master, today is the day you take a concubine," he reminded him that the bride was still waiting for him to perform the rituals.

The Netherworld Lord smiled, "I suddenly took a liking to this Rat Demon."

Raising his hand, a dark golden demonic power flew towards the charmingly dressed red bride on the ritual platform.

The red bride turned to escape upon seeing this but was ultimately consumed by the demonic power, dissipating into a handful of dust.

All the demons and beasts were stunned by this sudden turn of events!

Qing Linghuan slightly narrowed his fox eyes, "The Netherworld Lord sacrifices his most beloved consort to the heavens, this war will surely be won!"

The smile on the Netherworld Lord's face deepened, those cyan-blue double pupils exuding a determined ambition, "Brother Qing, born in the Demon World, will lead the charge to the Beast World, avoiding conflict with old friends."

"Fine," Qing Linghuan was indifferent to where he was going.

"I'll go to the Demon World," the three-headed dog demon volunteered.

The Netherworld Lord asked, "Can you handle Qilin Academy?"

"…" The three-headed dog demon immediately shrank its neck and fell silent.

The Netherworld Lord looked at Qing Linghuan, "I heard that Qilin Academy recently approached Green Hill Valley for a Little Kirin and nearly went on a killing spree."

Qing Linghuan knew he was asking about the Divine Status, after all, he had snatched the Little Kirin in the end.

But he didn't want to say, only stating, "That is the business of Qilin Academy and Green Hill Valley, when does the Residence Master plan to depart?"

"At Spiritual Realm sunrise tomorrow," the Netherworld Lord kept his eyes on Qing Linghuan's fox paw.

Sally hadn't felt a sense of crisis for a long time, the Netherworld Lord gave her a very dangerous feeling, she just wanted to instinctively escape.

"Xiaomei?"

"What do you need, host?"

"…Do you really think so highly of Qing Linghuan?"

[Everything shall be as the host desires.]

[Put the matter of the offspring aside for now, this Netherworld Lord seems to have taken an interest in me. Can you check on him for me?]

[The Netherworld Lord?] Xiaomei seemed to have just noticed this individual.

A moment later, suddenly a system alarm sounded, [Host, the system has been attacked by an unknown force, and immediate repair is needed!]

[Unknown attack? How could anything here attack you!]

But in the next instant, the entire system displayed that it was undergoing emergency repairs and could no longer be used, including the System Store, System Space, and even the System Map was no longer available.

Sally was stunned. Even during the Holy War, Xiaomei had been attacked countless times and had easily fended them all off.

Even in the most severe cases, the System Space was never implicated!

Netherworld Lord!

The anomaly with Xiaomei began after she asked Xiaomei to investigate the Netherworld Lord.

Also, the very act that garnered his attention was the use of the System Map to observe him.

Sally dared not make any rash moves, her first priority was self-preservation until Xiaomei recovered.

The banquet for taking in concubines had turned into a departure feast, with all the demons raising their cups in toast. They were utterly indifferent to the death of the new bride.

The Netherworld Lord kept his gaze on Qing Linghuan who was continuously pressing down on Sally with his fox paw.

Sally also didn't dare make any sudden moves, she didn't even dare to summon her master.

Qing Linghuan found Sally's sudden calmness curious and gently lifted his paw to look at her.

He found that she had fallen asleep.

Her little body was curled up tight, even hugging her own tail, showing her extreme unease.

Overwhelmed with anxiety, Sally had fallen asleep instead.

When she woke up, she was nestled in thick, dense fox fur.

Noticing that she was awake, Qing Linghuan said, "Are you hungry?"

Sally was stunned for a good while before responding, "Not hungry, but my stomach is empty."

"..." Is that hungry or not hungry?

"I won't die if I don't eat, and even if I did eat, it would be tasteless," Sally added in explanation.

Qing Linghuan felt he shouldn't have asked; with her current state and cultivation, she wouldn't die without eating.

"I've already returned your son to you, what more are you dissatisfied with?"

"Why did you capture my son?"

"If I hadn't captured him, he would have been taken by him. With me, he can still live. If he..."

"Who is he?"

"The Netherworld Lord, Lan Shi." Qing Linghuan didn't hide it from her, nor was there any need to, as she too had been targeted.

"Why is the Netherworld Lord targeting us?"

Qing Linghuan said, "I'm not clear on everything. But one thing, you better hide your son well—Lan Shi consumes Divine Status!"

"What... what did you say?!" Sally teleported above his head and stared into his eyes intently, her gaze fixed on the calm within his dark, deep fox eyes.

He wasn't deceiving her, and there was no need for him to do so.

"That day, I intended only to be an observer, but then I accidentally discovered Lan Shi was there too. He had possessed a God Rank demon cultivator."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"There was no need before. I'm telling you now because you have also caught his attention."

"Which side are you really on, his or the Spiritual Realm's?" Sally frowned.

Qing Linghuan said, "I'm on neither side, but I owe Lan Shi a favor, so I let him command me this one time. You should be grateful; he had already asked me to help him invade the Spiritual Realm. If he had asked me to hand you over, I would have complied as well."
