"I met Ryan in the Senyu Beast Forest when he was injured," Lin Lang explained. "I just happened to be passing by and lent him a little hand." "What little hand, it was a life-saving favor," someone interjected. "I see, in that case, Lin Lang, you must take good care of Ryan during his stay in our clan," said the Clan Leader. "He will be staying for a few days, so arrange for him to stay in the vacant Bamboo House next to yours, alright?" "Yes, Clan Leader." Agma nodded in satisfaction, then announced Lin Lang's heroic reward, "For this demon hunt, you are the most meritorious. You will receive 50 Crystal Coins, twenty pieces of high-quality beast hide, fifteen barrels of fruit wine, one hundred jin of dried meat, ten baskets of fresh fruit, and a Bamboo House." "Thank you, Clan Leader," Lin Lang responded, then turned to Ryan, "Let's have a drink later." "Okay," Ryan agreed. Sophia was the next to take the stage, and Shava watched with sparkling eyes. "So, this is the real love," Sally teased. "He should have married her sooner and become the first Beast Husband," Ashley laughed. "I'll go over there for a bit and come back later." "Go, go, with all the rewards you've got, you should treat us later." "Your family will get even more, you should be the one treating first." Ashley left after saying so. Sally's gaze shifted to Zulu. Zulu was conversing with several males from the Rabbit Clan, one of whom looked somewhat like him; he must be his sibling. Speaking of his siblings, they had also visited in turns a few times, but each visit was just to see the little rabbit kits, little rat kits, and then they would leave after dropping off a pile of things. After the celebration banquet, it was indeed time for her to take on the role of a wife and formally entertain guests. Before the child in her womb was born, she should legitimate Zulu. After all, Zulu was her first Beast Husband. As for the Black Panther... he could only be considered a lifesaving straw. He also took his child with him; their affairs were already settled. With this fake Zulu, once the child was born, everything would come to a clear resolution. Sally's lush eyelashes curled down gently, hiding the chill in her eyes. Zulu seemed to sense something and looked Sally's way, but he did not see her. "Second brother, I need to step away for a moment. If it's my turn, just go up for me, please," he said. "Hey, how can that be acceptable. Where are you going?" Zulu searched for Sally. Struck by a sudden hunger pang, Sally had left the spectators and gone to the food area for something to eat. Since becoming pregnant, she had lost her taste for dried meat, but as there was no fresh meat here, she resignedly gnawed on the tough dried meat. Although the Rat Clan are rodents, their teeth are not like those of the beast rats, always growing; instead, they're like humans—the baby teeth fall out, and the permanent teeth grow in its place. "Why are you eating this?" Zulu said, bringing a plate of fresh meat. Seeing the fresh meat, Sally's eyes lit up, "My gluttony is acting up again, it looks like I'll need to trouble you to find some spiritual materials." "What trouble? Let me take you home first. The meat at home is ready and safer to eat," Zulu said, always extremely caring for the child. Sally nodded, "Okay." Once she started eating, she couldn't stop, and it really wasn't good to stay here too long. Zulu found Robby and asked him to go home with them to take care of Sally while she ate, as he needed to make a trip to the Beast Forest. Robby's face changed dramatically when he heard Sally's appetite had exploded again. He quickly informed Auro before following Sally back home. When Zulu left, he heard Agma calling his name, asking him to come up to the stage to receive his reward, but all he could think about was the precious materials Sally wanted to eat. The rewards meant nothing to him. "My younger brother suddenly had something come up and had to leave, so I will accept these generous rewards on his behalf..." Jason, Zulu's elder brother, went up on stage and replied politely. The audience below was eagerly anticipating the sight of Zulu himself, clamoring for Zulu to come up and receive the rewards personally. But since he had left, it was impossible to call him back immediately, so in the end, Jason accepted a pile of rewards on his behalf. The elderly Clan Leader of the Rabbit Clan, seeing how popular his son was, regretted even more that he had agreed to let him marry into another family. But then he thought about how Sally had given birth to two female and one male offspring for the Deira family and felt conflicted again—his daughter-in-law did have a good fertility strength. His son mentioned that the younger female was talented, which made her a precious female of treasure level. After Sally got home, Robby took a bucket of tender back meat from the ice cellar. This ice cellar was specifically prepared by Zulu for Sally, designed to store fresh meat without any issues and to even enhance its freshness. "Meat from home tastes the best. At the victory celebration, Zulu somehow got a plate of fresh meat that didn't taste fresh at all," Sally swallowed the meat whole, savoring its freshness. Robby said, "Of course, this is the best meat from the finest wild beasts selected by Brother Zulu, and it's preserved with spices and ice blocks, without any trace of gamey taste, only freshness and sweetness." "Hmm, you eat too. I saw you didn't eat anything at the victory celebration." "I'll just have one piece," Robby took a tender slice of meat. "I wonder what rewards Brother Zulu will get from the Clan Leader." "Who cares, we'll take whatever is given." After finishing the meat in the bowl, Sally started drinking from a bucket of cow's milk. She truly had no idea where all the food she ate went; she always felt hungry no matter how much she ate, yet her stomach never grew large. "I'll buy a few more buckets," Robby said, seeing her drink like a bottomless pit, and immediately felt that the two buckets in the ice cellar wouldn't be enough. Sally nodded, "Go ahead." ... Zulu came back. This time, besides several Seven-Star Scarlet Fruits, he had a piece of purple rhizome in his hand. "Purple Mist Fruit, also a type of spiritual material. When someone with a talent elemental power suffers a severe deficit, eating a bit of it can restore it. You... try if you can eat it." Zulu had noticed that the fact Sally could give birth to offspring with high talents was greatly related to the things she ate during pregnancy. Although the Seven-Star Scarlet Fruits were also spiritual materials, in his eyes, they were almost the same as weeds. These spirit fruits containing talent elemental power were the true treasures he valued. Sally first checked with System Little Beauty—"[Purple Mist Fruit doesn't seem to be included in the material list of spiritual materials you gave me, can I eat it?]" "[You can.]" Little Beauty's mechanical voice sounded, and then it tossed her a book titled "The Encyclopedia of Spiritual Materials." Sally: [...] The Purple Mist Fruit looked like a giant sweet potato with a purple-black skin. When broken open, the flesh inside was fragrant like flowers, crystal clear, like purple crystals. "It's so beautiful!" Sally really liked the color purple, so looking at the fruit flesh, she felt a bit reluctant to eat it. "It also tastes nice, crisp and sweet," Zulu handed her half a piece. "Hmm, I'll try it." Sally took it, bit into it... with its honey-like sweetness, "It's so delicious." After she finished half, she picked up the other half. Her reluctance to eat it just moments ago was completely forgotten. "The banquet is probably still going on, do you want to go back?" Sally asked while eating the Purple Mist Fruit, her words clear. Zulu replied, "No need, I didn't really want to go in the first place." Robby returned with a bucket of cow's milk, "Today at the victory banquet, all the cow's milk was taken there; this bucket is freshly milked." "No need, my binge eating is under control for now, put this bucket in the ice cellar," Sally said after finishing the Purple Mist Fruit and belched loudly.
