"What if I insist that you bear my child?" Rong Wu clutched Sally's throat, his eyes suddenly darkened with vicious ferocity. Staring straight into his deep blue eyes, Sally did not flinch, "I, won't, bear it!" "Then I'll kill that Little Lushu!" Madness and a murderous intent erupted in Rong Wu's eyes. The corners of Sally's lips turned down slightly; those who knew her would immediately recognize this as a sign of her extreme anger. She scolded, "Utter foolishness." How could she have ever considered bearing his child? Fortunately, it hadn't happened. Otherwise, apart from the child's looks, there would be much to be concerned about. "What did you say?" Rong Wu's face grew even uglier. Sally said disdainfully, "Using a child to threaten its mother, you've got quite the nerve." "You..." Rong Wu gradually calmed down. Thirty-five hours and forty minutes left, Sally glanced at the system update's completion time. "If you're going to take my life, please do it quickly. Otherwise, let go. I've just had a child, and my body is weak and in need of rest." Rong Wu released her and looked towards her tent, "Where did that come from?" "Fell from the sky." Sally couldn't be bothered to explain and turned back into the tent, zipping up the entrance and sealing the space. Rong Wu listened to the rustling sounds of her organizing things inside the tent, then picked up the dead fish from the ground and started to clean it up. Looking like a young master who had never soiled his hands, he was surprisingly adept at killing fish. With his Water Element Secret Technique, it didn't take long before three plump sea fish were neatly prepared. He used his Water Elemental Power to form several ice blocks, chilled the three sea fish with the ice, then glanced at the tent again before heading into the nearby woods. Before long, he came back carrying several round, golden fruits and a bundle of firewood. Sally indeed had fallen asleep—although the Rejuvenation Pill had restored her physical condition, she was still lacking in energy. But her sleep was uneasy, filled with hazy half-dreams. Suddenly, something soft pressed against her mouth, carrying the fresh, cool scent of seawater. Instinctively opening her mouth to breathe, the soft object seized the moment to slip inside... Immediately, Sally's consciousness snapped back and understood what it was—she clamped her teeth down hard! Rong Wu withdrew his tongue just in time, otherwise, given Sally's ferocity, it really would not have been safe. "You venomous woman!" he complained immediately. Sally, incensed to the point of laughter, said, "I'm venomous? Ha! Who's the real scoundrel, the shameless vagabond? To think you're from a noble family, I didn't expect you to be so vile. Or is it that the nephew takes after the uncle, and you naturally love to break the law and commit misdeeds!" Rong Wu's uncle, Lin Fu, the former head of Divine Beast Academy along with Zi Yuan, had co-managed the Divine Beast Academy. He was later reported to have seduced and caused the death of females years ago, with solid evidence to back up the claims. Upon learning of this, the leadership of the Divine Beast Academy reported it up to the Beast Emperor. The Beast Emperor imposed a gag order, with new student recruitment on the horizon, to prevent the scandal from spreading and affecting enrollment, and sent someone to deal with Lin Fu in secret. Sally knew about this because Elder Zong Silu, Zong Silu's father, had told her. The moment he had a bit to drink, he loved to talk, spilling all sorts of embarrassing stories about Zong Silu, and Sally had extracted quite a few of these. Stung by the jab, Rong Wu turned and left the tent. Sally scrubbed her lips forcefully with a disinfecting wipe, wishing she could gargle with a strong disinfectant solution. When she emerged from the tent, she only caught a glimpse of Rong Wu disappearing into the sea. Outside the tent, several golden fruits resembling coconuts lay alongside three fresh fish, skewered on new branches and set over a pile of wood, ready to be grilled. And she was a practitioner of the Fire Element Secret Technique. Sally looked at the fruits, then at the fish, and finally, her gaze settled on the sea. Xiaomei's criteria for choosing a male for the Father Beast was to pick the finest, the very pinnacle of talent that Sally could accept. Rong Wu, someone of Earth Rank and a Water Element, didn't quite meet her standards, but he wasn't completely unacceptable. However, once Xiaomei saw Zong Silu, she immediately deleted Rong Wu as a backup option. And if Xiaomei didn't approve of a male as Father Beast, Sally was also influenced to a certain extent and lacked interest in that person. Sally approached the seawater, feeling the gentle caress of the breeze on her face and the scent of the sea in the air. For some reason, she suddenly felt a touch of sadness. It was as if someone's emotions were conveyed to her through the seawater... Sally slightly furrowed her brows, stepped back a few paces, and moved away from the water. That feeling disappeared once again. Rong Wu emerged from the water, holding a super large lobster over one meter long in his hand! Sally loved eating lobster, and her gaze uncontrollably drifted toward the huge lobster in his hand. "Sally... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you that way, nor should I have brought you here by force. Once you've eaten, I'll take you back." Rong Wu's usually slicked back hair had fallen over his forehead, making his already small face look even smaller, and those eyes brimming with sadness involuntarily evoked empathy. Sally suddenly remembered the sorrowful feeling from before, could it be... "You... you're not him, right?!" Sally looked at Rong Wu at this moment, feeling a strange sensation inside. "Do you like the buns?" Rong Wu suddenly smiled, his expression soft, sorrowful, and beautiful. "...What's your name?" Sally tentatively asked. "Rong Ruo," he replied. Indeed, he was mentally ill! He had dual personalities! "Then who is Rong Wu?" "He is the younger brother, I am the older brother." "..." ... Imperial Capital. Inside the Rong Residence, there was a silence like death. Old Zong looked at the utterly terrified master of the Rong Family with a smile. "Out of respect for our old friendship, give me three days—no, one day! I will definitely catch the rebel and deliver him to the Zong Residence for Brother Zong to deal with." "If a single hair on my daughter-in-law is missing, I will expect your Rong Family to be buried along with her!" Old Zong said cheerily, then got up and left. Behind him was the Imperial City Defense Army. Clearly, his visit had the approval of the Beast Emperor; whatever he did or said, he would not be held accountable by the Beast Emperor. That was what truly frightened the master of the Rong Family. Ever since the incident with Lin Fu, their Rong Family had been dragged into the eye of the storm, with many once-friendly noble clans severing ties with them. Even the little princess who had been interested in Rong Wu and frequently visited the Rong Residence had been forbidden by the Beast Emperor. In less than two months, their Rong Residence had fallen from the elite of the Imperial Capital to the very bottom. Years of effort had been inexplicably ruined. Now, with the matter of Rong Wu kidnapping the Zong Family daughter-in-law, it was like adding fuel to the fire. It seemed the Rong Family could no longer stay in the Imperial Capital. "I always said he would be a disaster sooner or later, we should have sent him to the Southern District earlier. The patriarch didn't agree, and now, the entire Rong Family has been dragged down," the lady of the Rong Family said through gritted teeth, filled with hatred. The current lady of the Rong Family was a second wife who hadn't managed to bear the patriarch a son or even a daughter, so she had always been overlooked. Now that she saw the Rong Residence collapsing before her eyes, she couldn't stand the humiliation anymore. The master of the Rong Family looked at her and suddenly thought of something, "Why don't you ask your cousin for help, see if he can do anything?" At the mention of this, the lady of the Rong Family's face turned as dark as a thundercloud instantaneously, "Do you know who bore Pei Xuan's son?"
