"Peep—" 'Little Chick' was very cooperative, cuddling joyfully in the palm of his hand, really taking him for her dear daddy. She possessed Quasi-Heaven Rank talent but couldn't yet speak the human language. However, no one would mistake her for an ordinary bird with those spirited little eyes. "..." Zong Silu's eyes flickered with a bright light as he looked at the 'Little Chick' in his arms, and soon, cold sweat broke out on his forehead! "Well, Yanyan... she's a Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird, pureblooded, with Quasi-Heaven Rank talent, and most importantly, she's female!" A female of Heaven Rank was absolutely unheard of! "You! Where did you abduct her from?" "What do you mean I abducted her? I'm her mother; I've been pregnant for a month, she's my own flesh and blood!" Sally drooled, nibbling on a golden-yellow lotus root. Seeing Manman eyeing her covetously, Sally broke off a section of the golden, crispy lotus root tip for her, "Daughter, try this, your dad picked it himself." "..." Zong Silu felt his mind was not quite functioning. How was that possible! Could she really bear children? Before he came, his father had told him that Sally had no Fertility Strength and couldn't give birth. Yet when she woke up, she not only claimed to be carrying his child but also offered a Phoenix Bird daughter of Heaven Rank for free! He wouldn't be hunted down by the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan, would he? "Peep~" Manman quickly finished off the lotus root tip. Seeing that Manman had no problem eating it, Sally pinched off another longer section of the lotus root tip. Manman ate it with happy peeps, clearly loving it. Sally said to Zong Silu, who was still in a daze, "Of course, you also have the right to refuse, I won't blame you." "No, no, no, I'm willing to be her dad, but is her real dad willing?" "Hmph! He doesn't have the right anymore." "...What do you mean?" Did it really exist? The Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird, known for its strong vengeful nature, ranked in the top three on the Beast World Continent! "I won't go into the reasons. In any case, he's not getting this girl; her custody belongs to me now. As for the one in my stomach, if you don't want him, I can raise him myself." Sally crunched away at the lotus root, her mouth full of fibres, enjoying the fresh, crisp sweetness. Delicious, much better than fresh meat. Zong Silu quickly said, "I want them, I want them. Whichever child you're carrying, I'll accept." Having children was a matter with great significance among the males. But with his kind of talent, he could only be a foster father. No wonder she proposed mating with him so straightforwardly when she met him. As for what his father said about her lacking Fertility Strength, maybe the diagnostic stone was defective, failing to detect it. No matter what, he decided he'd boarded the pirate ship, so he had to accept his lot. He would accept both the female child of Heaven Rank and the unborn one. "They're yours. Four days and three nights, the child's father should have some confidence in himself; I'm also looking forward to this child." Xiaomei had already told her that it was still a single child this time, and the talent was currently in a chaotic state. She advised her to eat more to promote the development of the talent. "...Okay, they're all my children." Zong Silu looked at her, his eyes tender and forgiving. Sally glanced at him and then bothered with him no more — what was that look? Her children, even though their beast fathers were all different, would certainly not be chaotic. Whichever belonged to whom, unless the other party disqualified himself, unworthy of being a father. Having eaten her fill, Manman laid down and fell asleep in Zong Silu's arms, looking extremely dependent. "I need to return to the academy for a bit, and while I'm at it, I'll bring you the written test materials for the third challenge. The second challenge was interrupted due to some issues in the Beast Forest, so all candidates passed." "My father has a better understanding of the avian races, and I'd like him to take a look at Manman, see what we need to know about nurturing her." She must have recently hatched from her eggshell. "Your father?" "Yes, the old Zong head who brought you to me. He's my dad." "Uh... So you two are father and son!" "Mhm, I'll be back soon. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?" "No need, these Nine-Petal Lotus roots are enough." Sally replied, "So, should I formally visit my uncle?" "If you want to go, I'll take you there later." "Okay." Sally patted her stomach, "Having a teacher for a grandfather, education won't be a problem in the future." Zong Silu: "...He should be very pleased." Whether it's his own grandson or not, that guy is always looking forward to it. After eating, Sally lay down on the bed to sleep. For her, eating and sleeping was the best way to nurture the fetus. Xiaomei agreed completely. Zong Silu tucked her in and sat by her side for a while, set up an Illusion Array, and then left with Manman. ****** Elder Zong sat in the principal's office with a look of melancholy. Principal Zi Yuan, who was also the cousin of Beast Emperor Zi Qi, didn't have high Fertility Strength, ranking only in the middle and lower tier, so despite having several Beast Husbands, she had no children. Her position as principal was due not only to her family background but also to her outstanding management skills and an acute sense for and ability to handle crises. "Elder Zong, why the long face? Did Little Li upset you?" "It's only him. Why couldn't he wait a bit longer? Entering the Semi Spirit Realm so quickly, my Zong family is going to end with him." "He's only twenty years old. He's still got six or seven hundred good years to live. There's plenty of time, and you might still get to see a little son or daughter." "I want to hold my grandson now. If he could make one appear, I'd even call him daddy." "Then you can start calling." Zong Silu politely knocked on the door twice from the entrance. Elder Zong immediately widened his eyes, "You unfilial son, you make one first!" Zong Silu pulled Little Manman out of his pocket, "Here~ your granddaughter." Elder Zong frowned, looking at the little one asleep in his hands, "What's this?" Zi Yuan suddenly narrowed her eyes, looking at the 'Little Chick' in his hand, "Phoenix Bird?" "Leave it to the principal to recognize it at a glance. Want to guess which clan it's from?" Zong Silu walked over to Zi Yuan's desk, took out the little one who had fallen asleep after eating lotus roots, and gently placed it on the desk cushioned with a handkerchief. Zi Yuan shook her head, "I don't have the talent to see it, but newborns from the Phoenix Clan and baby chickens do look alike, so it's normal for some people to not recognize them." Elder Zong, sitting beside, wore an embarrassed expression. Despite his research on the Avian Clans, he'd never actually seen a newborn from the Phoenix Clan. Zi Yuan once attended the monthly feast for the young clan leader of the Green Phoenix Clan along with the Beast Emperor, which is why she had some impression of the Phoenix Clan's young. "Where did you get this?" Zi Yuan asked, knowing that if someone from the Phoenix Clan discovered their young were taken, it could lead to serious tensions with the Beast World Continent's clans. Zong Silu knew what she meant, but, "...how should I put it? She's my daughter now." Both of them were stunned! "Exactly which Phoenix Clan is she from?" Elder Zong urged. With talents above the Heaven Rank, eyes that could see the truth, a Beastman in true form could see through anything with a glance. Zi Yuan looked at Little Manman with expectant eyes. "She's from a clan that even the Fire Phoenix Clan doesn't want to provoke," Zong Silu said helplessly.
