Lu Xiao...

You are really a "dark horse," aren’t you?!

A Yi Xiu of the Beast World?!

And you’ve actually got this sort of thing stocked?!

No wonder she had never let the system handle contraception, just trying to avoid heat periods, but sometimes when the feeling hit, she didn’t worry too much, yet nothing ever happened. She thought it might be a physical issue, but it turns out they had arranged everything behind the scenes!

This kind of medication isn’t officially produced in the Beast World; most come from some illegal pharmaceutical companies and black markets. Shen Tang was worried that the drug might affect their bodies, so she didn’t allow them to take such things.

Beast World males value their abilities highly, but Xue Yinzhou doesn’t seem to mind, probably only taking it during her heat periods, so the impact should be minimal.

Actually, Shen Tang was thinking too simply. Xue Yinzhou didn’t care at all about whether he had descendants or not. Dying out had no meaning to him. He didn’t particularly like cubs and couldn’t imagine what it would be like to be followed by one calling him Father Beast, which he might find a bit annoying.

If she wanted to give birth, he was willing to have a child; if she didn’t, he wouldn’t want it either.

However, he also didn’t want any other males to have children with her.

If Shen Tang knew his thoughts, she’d probably feel helpless yet amused.

After eating and drinking his fill, the Snake Beast lazily reverted to his original form and coiled around her. His beautiful purple eyes gazed at her, and his slender tongue gently flicked across her cheek, his gaze so soft it could melt anything.

Shen Tang, with the huge snake head on her chest, felt a bit breathless but still dotingly didn’t push him away.

She used to be afraid of snakes, but now she found him particularly adorable. She cupped his round snake head and gently kissed it. "Once things settle down, don’t take the medicine anymore. Maybe... we’ll have a cute little white snake, just like you."

Xue Yinzhou’s breath hitched, his tongue halted mid-air, eyes filled with disbelief.

Shen Tang laughed as she looked at him, "What? Don’t believe me? I’ve never said this to anyone else."

Xue Yinzhou instantly transformed into his human form, hugging her tightly. After a long silence, he quietly replied, "Okay." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Whether she said it just to make him happy, he was satisfied.

To Beast World males, the deepest declaration of love from a female is "I’ll give you a child." He never dared to hope he’d hear this in his lifetime.

Or rather, before meeting her, he never imagined he would find love, let alone think of having descendants.

After all, aside from his own kind of females, few females from other species would like a Snake Beast. But Shen Tang had told him more than once that she liked him, even suggesting she was willing to have a child with him in the future.

Even if it was half a joking promise, it was enough for him to be delighted.

He felt the female loved him dearly.

She even said she wanted to give birth to a cute little white snake just like him.

In her heart, did she really think he was so cute?

A rare hint of shyness, like that of a young boy, appeared on Xue Yinzhou’s face.

Seeing him like this, Shen Tang couldn’t help but think he was even cuter, after all, it was rare to see this side of Xue Yinzhou, and she couldn’t resist giving him another peck, "Hehe, truly adorable～"

In his heart, Xue Yinzhou melted into a puddle of spring water. He had never been good with sweet talk, nor did he have the bold and straightforward nature of that leopard. He simply felt that being able to stay by her side was the greatest happiness of his life.

"Tangtang, you’re the cutest." Xue Yinzhou’s words were like those of an infatuated teenager complimenting his beloved female, with a hint of naïve "beauty in the eyes of the beholder."

But the way he focused on her made Shen Tang’s cheeks flush, thinking that this side of Xue Yinzhou was quite different from usual.

Thinking about it carefully, Xue Yinzhou had been hunted since childhood, captured into the slave markets as a teenager, and later continuously served his original owner as a slave, enduring beatings and scoldings, locked in the dark room...

His years before adulthood were probably a gray, colorless expanse.

He practically had no "youth" to speak of, perhaps those memories were his most painful, hated, and wished to forget.

She couldn’t help but imagine, if Xue Yinzhou had grown up like an ordinary Beastman from the start, maybe he wouldn’t have become so gloomy and indifferent, fitting in with no one except for her.

Looking at him, Shen Tang softly smiled.

Gazing at the female’s radiant smile, Xue Yinzhou’s heart raced. He held her tightly, letting her lean against his chest.

Quietly, he thought, if...

If in the future they could really have a child, he’d actually hope for a little kitten.

Like her.

They would definitely be adorable.

Thinking about it this way, cubs didn’t seem so annoying.

[Congratulations, host, Xue Yinzhou’s affection value +20!]

The system cheerfully announced.

Shen Tang’s lips curled into a gentle smile. She knew the Beast Husbands all loved her deeply, and oftentimes, those intangible numbers didn’t mean much anymore.

However, she still very much wanted the system’s rewards, so she opened the system interface to glance at the current affinities of her Beast Husbands —
