Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 1048 - 1046: Taking the Stairs

"Mom, am I my dad’s son?" Little Zhouzhou asked. Even though he appeared small, he had received quite an education in the Beast World, so he roughly understood the meaning of extinction, meaning unable to have offspring.

However, the blood connection between father and son cannot be wrong.

So Little Zhouzhou was puzzled again.

Sally replied, "You are your dad’s son, the bloodline cannot be faked."

The elevator stopped, someone was about to come in.

Sally pulled Little Zhouzhou to her side to protect him.

A tall and upright man came in, and when he saw the mother and son, he suddenly stopped.

Xiaomei said to Sally: [Host, this is Yase!]

Sally: [...]

Yase was also stunned, not expecting to find Sally and Little Zhouzhou inside the elevator!

"Sir, please step inside so the door can close first." Sally politely said to Yase.

Although Xiaomei told her that this completely unfamiliar man was Arthur, since he disguised himself, she acted as if she didn’t recognize him.

"Sorry." Yase quickly stepped inside, looking at the elevator buttons, intending to press them but quickly putting his hand down, "What a coincidence, I’m going to the rooftop too."

Sally smiled, then patted Little Zhouzhou’s head, "Son, are you thirsty?"

"Thirsty!" Little Zhouzhou replied, "Can I have a bottle?"

"You can. My son should grow strong and chubby." Sally said with a smile, then handed Little Zhouzhou a large bottle of milk. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Yase was staring intently at Little Zhouzhou, so she turned to block his view.

Yase: "...You!"

Sally glanced over, her gaze warning.

Yase immediately felt frustrated yet helpless, as Sally had warned him not to appear in front of her and Little Zhouzhou. Last time it was only because he completed her task that he was able to meet Little Zhouzhou for a moment.

Not long after, the elevator reached the top floor.

Yase walked ahead first, saying to Sally, "There is wind on the rooftop."

Sally glanced at him, then used a Barrier to shield herself and Little Zhouzhou, following Yase out of the elevator.

On the rooftop, indeed the wind roared, there were railings over a person’s height around, with warning signs hanging on them.

Sally, holding Little Zhouzhou’s hand, came to the edge of the railing.

Despite the wind, the wind blew away the clouds, allowing them to see the panoramic view of Feiya City in the distance.

"Mom, I’m done." Little Zhouzhou handed the empty bottle back to Sally.

Sally then took out a box of snacks from the System Space, "Here, ease your little stomach. Tonight, your dad said he’d personally cook us something delicious, so let’s look forward to it."

"Mm!" Little Zhouzhou took the snacks and looked outside through the rails.

Sally turned to look at Yase, knowing he had been watching them. She set up a soundproof Barrier for Little Zhouzhou and walked towards him.

"What are you doing on the rooftop?" Sally asked flatly.

Yase looked at her, "Enjoying the view."

"I don’t believe there’s a place in Feiya City you haven’t seen." Sally chuckled lightly.

Yase’s eyes showed pain, "Little Zhouzhou is my son! Not Henry’s!"

Sally replied, "Even if he’s not fully yours, he’s at least half. And you, who handed your own son to someone else, have no right to claim that Little Zhouzhou is your son?"

"I didn’t! It was Henry-" Yase snapped his mouth shut as Little Zhouzhou looked towards them.

Sally smiled at him, signaling him to have fun on his own.

Little Zhouzhou nodded obediently and started running around the rooftop.

Yase immediately followed him.

Sally didn’t follow them, sighed inwardly, retrieved a chair from the System Space, and sat by the railing watching the outside scenery.

Suddenly, she saw a Little Angel flying in the air, [Xiaomei, who is that?]

[Little Miqi.] Xiaomei replied: [Do you want to summon her?]

[No need, let them play.] Sally stretched lazily, [What is Yase doing here?]

[He might be here to attend Little Zhouzhou’s Crown Prince ceremony.]

[I hope that’s the case.] It’s just that Yase’s current identity made her have to be suspicious.

Sally took out a black-red root fruit from the System Space, took a bite... extremely bitter, and her throat burned!

[What is this thing?] Sally frowned.

Xiaomei replied: [This is the root of the Star Realm Thorn Tree, a rare strange plant with strong toxicity! But Xiaomei is confident to eliminate the toxicity, so the Host can eat it safely.]

[What are its benefits?] Sally drank some Spiritual Honey to take away the bitterness in her mouth.

[It can strengthen the fetus’s meridians, stimulate potential talent, and enhance detoxification ability.]

[Alright, I’ll eat it!]

Sally took a deep breath and continued to take a big bite.

Yase ran over with Little Zhouzhou, seeing what Sally was eating, instinctively expressed concern, "Can you eat that?"

"For the sake of the child, any bitterness must be swallowed." Sally hugged Little Zhouzhou, "When I was pregnant with my son, I didn’t blink while swallowing raw Beast Cores."

Little Zhouzhou kissed Sally, "Mom, you’ve worked hard, I will definitely be filial to you in the future, making you happy every day."

"Haha~ Such sweet talk, who did you learn from? Xiaoqi or Little Miqi?" Sally laughed.

Little Zhouzhou replied, "Little Miqi."

Yase watched them, momentarily silent...

Someone came out from the elevator.

"Yanyan, Little Zhouzhou, you’re here."

It was the 24th who came.

Little Zhouzhou immediately ran over to the 24th, "Dad—hold me!"

"My own son!" The 24th immediately picked him up, kissed his chubby little face, and asked Sally, "What are you playing here?"

Sally smiled, "I’m showing Little Zhouzhou Feiya City. Are you done with your work?"

The 24th nodded, "Finished."

Glancing at Yase.

Yase stepped back, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Who are you?" the 24th asked.

"Just an ordinary resident of Feiya City, who once had the honor of witnessing Your Majesty’s grandeur." Yase bowed, "I won’t disturb Your Majesty’s enjoyment of family happiness."

"Mm." The 24th nodded.

Yase lowered his head, eyes fixed on the ground, and walked towards the elevator.

Sally looked at his back, which seemed less upright than before, appearing dejected.

"Let’s go back too. I’m preparing a table of delicious food, the children should also be coming back." The 24th held Little Zhouzhou in one arm and extended the other towards Sally.

Sally snuggled into his embrace, looking again towards Yase entering the elevator and looking their way.

The 24th held Sally and Little Zhouzhou, teleporting back to the Imperial Palace.

The Palace Attendant was waiting for the 24th, reporting: "Your Majesty, Henry requests an audience."

The 24th paused, saying to Sally: "I’ll go see him, you and the son go to Lixiang Hall for a meal, no need to wait for me."

"Mm, you take care of your business." With the Crown Prince ceremony approaching, he was getting busier.

Little Zhouzhou held a key in his small hand, brilliantly golden, beautifully intricate patterns carved on it.
