Sally woke up and was struck by an unprecedented sense of hunger. Little Beauty had said that the Fasting Pill was only to be used when not pregnant. When pregnant, one needed to eat normally. "Robby, bring me some meat." It had to be said that Beastmen were indeed carnivores; after becoming pregnant, she couldn't even stomach wild yams anymore. Only meat could satisfy her belly, and it had to be the finest, most tender meat. When she was pregnant with Little Black Panther before, she wasn't this fussy, but this time she was really struggling. Robby brought over a plate of fresh, tenderloin meat cut from a wild boar and handed it to Sally, asking with concern, "You've already eaten half a basin of meat, is your stomach okay?" "I don't want to eat either, it's my stomach that wants to." Sally said with a slightly tearful laugh, "I think I might be pregnant." Auro walked in with a plate of fresh fruit and nearly dropped the plate when he heard Sally's words, "Yanyan, what did you say?" "Pregnant." Sally touched her small belly, "With such a strong appetite, what else could it be but pregnancy?" "Who knows they're pregnant after just one day?" Robby didn't believe her, but how else could she explain this appetite. In the past, a single bite of jerky would fill her up, or a cup of sheep's milk. This definitely wasn't normal. Auro handed the fresh fruit to Sally, and seeing how she couldn't wait to start eating, it did indeed resemble the behavior of a pregnant female, "A female from the Rat Clan gives birth about a month after conception. Whether you're pregnant or not, you'll know in at most ten days, and at least five days. Plus, the wild boar sent by Zulu should be enough for you to eat." "I don't want jerky, I just want to eat fresh meat, preferably venison..." Sally touched her flat stomach. They say a pregnant woman's cravings are actually the baby's mouth; what she eats isn't what she wants, but what the baby in her belly craves. Zulu arrived, carrying a huge Beast Skin Bag. "Then eat only fresh meat, my female, I can afford to keep you fed." "You..." Sally looked at him in surprise, especially at the large Beast Skin Bag in his hand, "What are you planning to do with that?" "From now on, I'm going to join the Millet Family," Zulu said with a face full of happiness and excitement. Sally: "..." Auro was startled by his words, "This this this, is that appropriate? Would the old Clan Leader agree to it?" Zulu recalled the moment he was about to leave home— "Zulu!" The white-haired elder of the Rabbit Clan blocked his path. "Where are you going?" "Father, I'm quite fond of Millet's daughter, and I plan to join the Millet Family." "Foolish! Millet is from the Rat Clan, and his daughter lacks Fertility Strength." "How does Father know?" "Witch Clan's Grom told me personally, on the day of her coming of age ceremony, many people saw it. Millet's daughter, after testing with the female stone, showed no Fertility Strength." "It doesn't matter if she doesn't have Fertility Strength, I will still live the same life as her." "No! You are to marry a female from the Fox Clan, a beauty with Superior Fertility. I have already agreed to it." "You're a step too late, I've already become mates and mated with Millet's daughter." "You! You want to make me die of anger... I..." The old Clan Leader suddenly fainted. Zulu could only put down what he was carrying and take care of the old Clan Leader first. It wasn't until his other brothers arrived that he was able to carry his luggage and find Sally. Of course, his brothers also took turns trying to stop him, but in the end, because they couldn't beat him, they could only let him leave. "Joining the Family is acceptable." Sally continued eating the fresh fruit, but her stomach still felt hungry in waves, "Hunt more, I think I will eat a lot this month." "Hmm?" What did she mean by this month, Zulu felt there was a hidden meaning in her words. "I should be pregnant," Sally said, touching her belly, "and it seems I have quite a voracious eater on the way." Zulu went completely blank, "Just like that, you're pregnant?" Wasn't it said that she had no fertility strength? If she got pregnant this easily, then her fertility strength might be at the very peak, akin to the reincarnation of a legendary fertility goddess. "Yes, I'm pregnant." Sally patted her belly, "It just eats too much, and is picky too, only wanting tender meat." "No problem, I'll go hunting right now." As soon as Zulu heard he was going to have offspring, he was so excited he almost jumped, turning around to leave. "There's no need now," Sally replied. "You can go with Robby early tomorrow morning." "Alright then, I'll keep you company." Zulu took the initiative, peeling fruit and removing the seeds, feeding Sally just the juiciest parts. Sally took a bite and glanced at the large beast skin bag he had brought with him, "What's all this inside?" "Crystal Coins, clothes, tools." "Oh." "I'm taking it to my sister's cave." Robby finally caught up, realizing Zulu would soon be family with them. Sally smiled, "Go ahead." Now that they had a child, living together wasn't a problem, and this pregnancy was entirely different from the last; she probably wouldn't be able to manage on her own. Seeing Sally nod, Zulu felt a weight lift off his heart. Sally was unlike ordinary females; she had her own opinions, and if she hadn't wanted to keep him, she might have readily kicked him out. "I'm thirsty," Sally hinted, pointing to her mouth. Zulu looked at her rosy lips and suddenly remembered how they almost snatched away his soul during their intimate moments. "I'll get you some water," he offered attentively, sparing no effort to take care of her needs. That night Sally seemed to eat non-stop. She would sleep for a little while, then sit up to eat, until her cheeks ached from chewing. Finally, having no other choice, she sought help from System Little Beauty — ["Little Beauty, Little Beauty, what's the deal with this pregnancy? I'm so hungry."] Little Beauty replied — ["The Golden Marrow Pill is taking effect. A talent isn't enhanced for nothing; it requires a great deal of energy, then advances and levels up. Once the child is born, the talent will be set in stone and cannot be changed unless with a Heaven Mending Pill. But a Heaven Mending Pill costs 10,000 points."] ["...That's robbery!"] ["That's why the Golden Marrow Pill is the best deal. Given your current condition, you can eat some spiritual materials."] ["What spiritual materials?"] ["I'll send you some information on common spiritual materials to take a look at."] ["Great."] Sally's System Space soon had a new book, over half a meter thick and two feet square. It was her first time seeing such a huge book. She observed it curiously for a moment, then opened it, and immediately the content from the first page transformed into a rain of words that entered her mind. Seven-Star Scarlet Fruit, a perennial spiritual material, plant height seven inches, star-shaped purple leaves, the fruit is red and spheroid, golden star-shaped seeds, the whole plant is edible, unripe fruits are yellow-green and highly toxic, while the ripe ones greatly nourish, replenishing innate deficiencies... typically found under forest trees in shaded areas, preferring well-ventilated, well-drained leafy soil. After drinking some fresh sheep's milk, Sally still felt hungry. Zulu came over with a plate of fresh meat, his eyes burning with anticipation as he watched Sally, "I just hunted a deer, the tenderest part of the spine." While eating the meat, Sally asked, "Have you ever seen a plant while hunting in the forest, with star-shaped purple leaves and red spheroid fruits?" "I've seen it. Do you want to eat it?" "Mhm, I want the entire plant, but only when the fruits have turned red. Leave the yellow-green ones." "I'll go gather them for you right now." Zulu put down the plate and immediately headed for the door.
