Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

"Zulu... it may also be difficult to achieve," Auro said to Sally.

He had gone to the Witch Clan of the Rabbit Clan today and learned some news. The leader of the Rabbit Clan intended for Zulu to marry the daughter of the Clan Leader of the Fox Clan.

The females of the Fox Clan were each beautiful and enchanting. To marry or to be married to a female of the Fox Clan was definitely a delightful affair.

Sally frowned, "Then it's not good to rush."

"Yanyan, what did you say?"

"Nothing much. By the way, Dad, where is the Snake Clan?"

"The Snake Clan is a bit far from here, it's to the east of our old tribe, almost right inside the Senyu Beast Forest. I even went to the Snake Clan once to help build the Beast God Temple."

"I heard from Robby that among the strong ones in the Western District, there's one from the Snake Clan."

"Yes, but that one is no good person. Murdered his own brother over a female and was condemned by the Snake Clan as a traitor. He was banished from the clan, never to return for life. Although, I've recently heard that he was spotted in the Qingmu Plains."

"Oh?" Sally's eyes lit up.

"What do you want to know this for?"

"Nothing, just asking."

It seems I'll need to make a few more trips to the Qingmu Plains.

"They really liked your fine salt at the Rabbit Clan's Witch Clan, asking if it could be supplied long term, with negotiable terms. Why don't you ask your friend from the Eastern District if this business is feasible?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Her salt was a reward for giving birth, provided by the System.

"Then never mind, we can talk about it another time if the opportunity arises."

"Mhm, the hundred-flavor salt is essential, we can't do without it daily. I'll see if there's a way to make salt."

"Haha, the method of making salt is very secretive, almost the lifeblood of a tribe, how could someone just tell you."

"I'll figure something out. Dad, please help me store these wild yams in a cool place, they can be eaten for a long time."

"I was wondering why you've gathered all these wild things food we eat."

"To eat, of course. If they can eat them, so can we."

"Beastmen eat meat, and it's only by eating meat that one can be strong and protect the tribe."

"Having too simple a diet isn't good either. Tonight, I'll make a pot of wild yam stewed chicken, so you can try how it tastes."

Sally began to get busy.

Her cooking skills, which were at best considered adequate on Earth, making food that wasn't bad to eat, but here, they were absolutely at the level of a master chef.

Listening to Sally clanking around in the kitchen, Auro was curious. Moreover, Sally's Fire Element talent was incredibly convenient when making a fire.

And with her around, even the fire needed not to be carefully maintained.

Although Beastmen were afraid of fire and did not eat cooked food, they dared not lose the fire source.

Sometimes, when the fire source died out, they had to borrow it from other clans.

Last time Sally roasted venison legs, he was very surprised, "Yanyan, not to mention Fertility Strength, just your talent alone is enough to establish yourself within the clan."

"Daughter knows that. Just like females, why are they so precious? It's because rarity is valued. My talent, although not high, is enough to bluff others, and it's sufficient for everyday cooking and such."

"It's that concept, rarity is valued, so why don't you let me tell the Clan Leader?"

"Daughter was once a Wandering Beastman, with uncertain Fertility Strength. It's better to continue wandering freely."

"Do you not want to be restricted?"

"Yes, does Dad agree with daughter's thoughts?"

"Hehe, you didn't grow up by my side to begin with. Just having you come back to recognize me as your father, that makes me very happy. As for the rest, of course, it should be as you wish. If you want to settle down, come back, and Dad will support you your whole life. If you want to wander, that's alright too, just protect your safety."

"Long live understanding, thanks Dad." Sally took the steamed yam paste mixed with wild fruit sauce and handed it to Auro, "Try this, see if it could be sold at a stall."

Auro took the yam paste and looked at the thick purple fruit sauce layered over the snowy white yam paste, quite visually appealing, "This is edible?"

"Yeah, try it. If it can sell, I'll teach you how to make it, Dad."

"...Alright." Auro didn't want to dampen his daughter's enthusiasm, nor her filial piety, so he took a big bite with gusto.

However, that bite... made his whiskers stand on end.

"It's delicious!"

'Clang—' A sound echoed from the yard.

The two hurried outside.

They saw Zulu standing in the yard, somewhat awkwardly, with a giant wild boar that weighed no less than eight hundred pounds lying at his feet.

Under the sunlight, his radiant smile was dazzling.

"Yanyan sister, can I eat chicken tonight?"

"..." Sally fell silent for a moment, then turned back into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of yam mash, accompanied by something like pepper salt. This pepper-like spice was something she found in the Beast Forest; it was large, about the size of a walnut, and tasted just like pepper, so she called it pepper-like.

"Try this first."

Zulu didn't hesitate to take it, and after one taste, his eyes widened, "What is this?"

"Pepper-like yam mash. Does it taste good?" Sally asked with a smile.

Zulu looked at her with an indescribable expression, "You've added Passion Fruit."

"Huh?" Sally was startled.

Auro quickly took the bowl of yam mash from his hand and sniffed it...

"Yanyan, there really are bits of Passion Fruit in it. You?"

Sally was suddenly embarrassed. Could it be that the pepper-like spice was Passion Fruit?

"I've eaten it too, and there was no problem."

"Girl, the Passion Fruit is meant for males; it's useless for females."

"...What should we do?"

"Easy." Zulu grinned, flashing a set of pearly white teeth, his handsome face full of roguish charm, "You'll just have to solve it for me."

The roots of her ears uncontrollably began to redden, a sign of being moved.

Sally quickly said, "Don't you have a marriage agreement with the Fox Clan?"

"I didn't agree to it." Zulu scooped her up around the waist and headed inside, saying to Auro, "That wild boar is a meeting gift. I heard Lin Lang gave sixteen Crystal Coins as a dowry; I'll give sixty!"

Sally wanted to struggle, but his strength was too great, she couldn't break free unless she asked the System for help. But the System was eager for her to have children soon, and Zulu's talent was recognized by Xiaomei, so it certainly would not miss this opportunity.

"Just so you know, I'm not going to marry you. I might have other Beast Husbands in the future. There's no way it'll just be you." She laid it out there plainly.

Zulu didn't mind at all, "No problem."

Sally: "...You really won't mind?"

Zulu replied, "As long as you're happy."

Sally couldn't help but laugh, "Alright then."

Auro, looking at the adult wild boar in the yard, found the meeting gift to be quite nice and dragged it into his own butchering room.

Sally ate down Pregnancy Elixirs and Golden Marrow Pills one after another, not having to spend points for them.

But Zulu's energy was simply too overwhelming; if it weren't for taking the Rejuvenation Pill twice, she wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Afterward, Zulu held the exhausted Sally, who had fainted, kissing her again and again, then carefully covered her with a Beast Skin Blanket before going back to his own place.

He started packing up his savings and some personal items like bedding, getting ready to move in with Sally.

But before he could leave, he was blocked.
