Chapter 411: Sudden Wealth

Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Sudden Wealth

Sensing Chou Rong’s pursuit was close at hand, Jiao Yin unleashed his Talent Ability without hesitation.

When the pursuers arrived, they only caught a faint glimpse of an illusion—a Merfolk figure speeding diagonally forward.

Using that brief moment, Jiao Yin quickly pivoted to his rear right and retreated.

The past few days had been enough time for him to figure out where his only biological sister was.

He sped off in that direction.

Before infiltrating, he knew that the Tiger Clan was a Super Tribe, a place where males with extremely high Talent Power were common.

To avoid attracting attention, he had deliberately allowed himself to be captured by a Beast Pet Merchant, using the status of a Beast Pet to get close to and manipulate the Beastmen.

But even after half a month of lying low, he still hadn’t found any trace of his kinsfolk.

Until he met Bai Wanwan.

Once he learned this female was the Clan Leader’s Wife, he began to approach her deliberately.

The decision proved to be an excellent one; through her, he quickly discovered his sister’s whereabouts.

In just a few short days, he had not only planned a comprehensive escape route but had also managed to rescue two other kinsfolk.

"Brother!"

Jiao Yue threw herself into Jiao Yin’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Crystalline tears rolled down her cheeks, falling to the ground as pearls.

"What are you crying for?" Jiao Yin raised a hand to wipe a tear from the corner of her eye.

Jiao Yue let out a wail. "I should have listened to you, Brother! I shouldn’t have been so curious about the land. If I hadn’t come ashore without permission, I wouldn’t have been brought here, and you wouldn’t have risked punishment to find me. Brother, it’s all my fault... I’ve dragged you into this..."

The Merfolk Royal Family is forbidden from leaving their waters without authorization, a rule meant to ensure their noble bloodline continues unbroken.

Once on land, their powers are weakened. Worse, the surface is home to countless types of ferocious Beastmen, presenting one danger after another.

Hearing this, Jiao Yin stroked the top of her head. "We’ll let it go this time. Just remember from now on: stay away from Land Beastmen."

Jiao Yue immediately nodded with all her might. The Beastmen on land were terrifying. Her curiosity about them had vanished completely; she just wanted to return home as quickly as possible.

The two rescued Merfolk stood aside, trembling with trepidation.

This powerhouse before them, who could break through an encirclement of several Yellow Rank Beastmen, was clearly no ordinary Merfolk.

His unfathomable power and the authority in his every gesture all pointed to a noble status.

This reminded them of the deep sea’s most mysterious royal family.

"Brother, let’s go," Jiao Yue said, wiping her tears.

Jiao Yin cast one last, long look toward the Tiger Clan Tribe, a complex swirl of emotions rippling in his azure eyes.

’Bai Wanwan is a kind female, but I’ve betrayed her trust.’

’If... if we have the chance to meet again, I will do everything in my power to repay her kindness.’

"Let’s move out."

Jiao Yin pulled back his gaze and led his people toward the ocean...

Although Chou Rong had ordered the entire tribe to be locked down, he still couldn’t prevent the Merfolks’ disappearance.

Such methods only made him more certain that the Merfolk’s identity was anything but ordinary.

"Besides the missing Merfolk, has the tribe suffered any other losses?" Chou Rong asked, his voice grave.

"No other losses to report, Clan Leader."

Chou Rong gazed at the night-shrouded streets, finally understanding Jiao Yin’s true motive for manipulating Wanwan into searching for the Merfolk.

’It seems he came to rescue his kinsfolk.’

*******

By flickering candlelight, Bai Wanwan was focused on drawing the blueprints for their new home.

This soon-to-be-built house would be her home in the Beast World for a long time to come.

’So it has to be designed exactly how I like it.’

She had spent the last few days racking her brain, planning more than ten rooms for the two-story house, including several spacious, bright nurseries.

Every room had a large balcony. It would be so pleasant in the summer, sitting out there and looking at the primordial landscape.

"Wanwan," Yan Lie said, leaning over the blueprint for a closer look.

Seeing the names labeled on the rooms, he grumbled in displeasure, "Why are the cubs’ rooms so close to yours, while ours are so far away? Wanwan, I want to be next to you too."

"This is just the initial draft," Bai Wanwan said without looking up from her drawing. "If you’re not satisfied, you can all just draw lots for rooms later."

’I’m not planning on assigning them rooms anyway. Otherwise, I’d have to hear them all complain about favoritism again.’

’She’d always been good at the art of keeping things fair, and now she had it down to a science.’

When Chou Rong returned, he saw the Beast Husbands gathered around Wanwan, discussing the blueprints.

He leaned in for a closer look and exclaimed in amazement, "Wanwan, you drew these?"

The structure on the paper was clearly defined, every detail rendered with lifelike precision.

Bai Wanwan smiled and handed him the blueprint. "Here, help me see if there’s anything I should change."

Chou Rong carefully studied the unprecedented two-story structure.

"It’s perfect. Wanwan, build it however you like."

"Since no one has any objections," Bai Wanwan said, gently stroking her swollen belly, "I’ll redeem my Points for materials after I give birth, and we can start building."

Xin Feng gently took the hand she was drawing with. "Leave these miscellaneous tasks to us. You just focus on resting."

"This is hardly a miscellaneous task," she said, her eyes shining with anticipation. "This is the home where we’ll spend the rest of our lives together."

Just as she said that, a sudden cramp seized her abdomen.

Bai Wanwan grabbed the hands of the two Beast Husbands beside her. "I think... I’m going into labor..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, the Beast Husbands descended into a flurry of panic...

After she redeemed the painless childbirth service, she was carefully placed on the birthing bed.

Looking at the nervous faces crowded around the bed, she said with a sigh, "I feel much better now. Don’t worry. It’s not my first time."

The experienced Xin Feng immediately started giving orders. "Yan Lie, go get hot water! Yin Ze, prepare the cubs’ nests..."

Bai Wanwan could no longer feel any pain, just a sense of pressure.

She could clearly feel something pushing its way out of her body.

It felt like they were in a race to be the first one out.

Suddenly, something rolled out.

Yin Ze, who had been waiting nervously by her side, saw a fiery-red egg suddenly appear on the bed.

He froze. "Wanwan... you... you gave birth?"

When he came to his senses, he rushed forward to take her hand. "Thank you, Wanwan. Rest now. I’ll just put the egg in its nest and come right back to you."

"Wait..."

Yin Ze stopped in his tracks. Before he could even ask if she was uncomfortable, he saw another egg roll out.

"Another one?"

A look of joy spread across his face. Wanwan had actually given him two eggs at once!

Just as his hand was about to touch them, a third egg rolled out.

Followed by a fourth, and a fifth...

Yin Ze was utterly dumbfounded. He thought he must be hallucinating.

One egg, two eggs...

He had to count three times before he could confirm that Wanwan had truly given him five eggs.

"Congratulations, Host, for birthing four Orange Rank male cubs and one female cub with excellent fertility. Reward: 250,000 Points."

The system notification left Bai Wanwan feeling like she was in a dream.

Two hundred and fifty thousand!

’The feeling of getting rich overnight is amazing. This life in the Beast World is totally worth it!’

"Wanwan, you’re incredible! You laid five eggs! I’ve never heard of anyone having so many..."

Zhu Xiu, carrying in a basin of hot water, saw the two of them smiling at each other, and the warmth in his eyes instantly chilled.

Yan Lie, who rushed in right after, was filled with a mix of envy and jealousy when he saw the five eggs.
