Chapter 112: Naming

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Naming

Gu Weilan was not only dazzled by the 300,000 points, but she was also so thrilled by the Word Spirit Curse Talent Skill that she couldn’t suppress the corners of her mouth from rising.

"Then I want to try the Word Spirit Curse. I just hope..." she thought.

"Host, don’t you want to cuddle and dote on your cubs first? Cursing someone on the first day your cubs are born... isn’t that a bit inappropriate?" Pomegranate Seed suggested.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips, wanting to huff in response. However, she felt that Pomegranate Seed made a valid point, and it was better to avoid any taboos. The cubs were her own flesh and blood. Dealing with those annoying pests from the Dolphin Clan could wait until tomorrow. Only then did Gu Weilan lean over to look.

There was no other way around it—the four little cubs possessed such exceptional talent that they were able to freely switch between their Beastman Form and Beast Form right from birth.

The eldest son was a Mo Qilin. On his pitch-black, large Qilin head were two newly budding horns. Above his large, bright red eyes was a tuft of fiery red hair with faint, auspicious cloud patterns. The scales on his body were warm and smooth to the touch, looking as if they were crafted from pieces of ink-colored jade. He let out a yawn, curling his tender pink tongue like a newborn kitten or puppy. The adorable sight inevitably brought out fond, doting smiles from everyone watching.

The second son had fiery red fire-cloud patterns on the shoulders of his two front paws, and his little tail was also a vibrant red. He tried to flip over and stand up, but failed. His little paws flailed frantically in the air. He looked just like a little turtle that had been deliberately flipped onto its back—struggling with all his might to turn over but failing, yet persevering relentlessly. His actions made everyone stifle their laughter. He was simply too cute!

The third son, an Azure Qilin, was covered in lake-blue scales. On his two newly budding Qilin horns, it looked as if tiny blue gemstones were embedded. His nose was soft and pink, making one want to gently bite it. His eyes, transitioning from red to blue, looked somewhat bewitching. However, on the face of a chibi Qilin cub, it only added to his extreme cuteness. The ring of soft fur around his neck was still slightly damp and clinging to his body, having just come out of the Incubation Pod. The little guy kept lowering his head, sticking out his tender pink tongue, clearly trying to lick the fur under his neck clean.

But he couldn’t reach it. He just couldn’t reach it at all, and it was infuriating. The angrier the little guy got, the more he wanted to lick; the more he wanted to lick, the more he couldn’t reach, and the angrier he became. It formed a perfect, vicious cycle. Out of sheer frustration, the little cub continuously lifted his tiny paws, trying to push the fur on his neck higher, thinking he would be able to lick it that way. Yet, he still couldn’t reach. The group of unscrupulous adult Beastmen were entirely amused by the little cubs, laughing uproariously.

The last one, an Azure jade Qilin, looked noticeably smaller than the previous three male cubs. But this Azure jade Qilin was also the prettiest! Her blue-white fur clung wetly to her body, and above her brow bone were two tufts of gold-red hair. Her watery eyes transitioned from a vibrant red to gold. Below her neck was a ring of fur acting like a collar stuck to her skin, and beneath the fur were scales resembling pieces of jade. Her nose was pink, with golden dragon whiskers on both sides. She was well-behaved and docile, only smacking her lips continuously. It seemed she was hungry.

Gu Weilan immediately looked toward Zhan Heng’s chest.

The cubs were hungry! What were they supposed to do when the cubs were hungry!

Just as Grandma Shi was about to turn her head, Housekeeper Zhan Ci brought out four baby bottles filled with milk fruit juice.

In the past, Gu Weilan had thought that once the cubs were born, their innate potential would have to suffice. At that time, it was because she truly didn’t have many points. Now that she had points, she wanted to provide better conditions for her cubs. So, after having Housekeeper Zhan Ci help move the four cubs to the nursery on the third floor, she secretly fed the four little cubs the Talent Potion (Cub Edition) for 200 points, the Cub Beauty Potion for 200 points, the Cub Intelligence-enhancing Potion for 200 points, the Cub Body Building Potion for 200 points, and the Cub Poison Immunity Potion for 200 points.

After Gu Weilan finished feeding the cubs the potions, the four little ones were fully satisfied and fell fast asleep.

Zhan Ci frowned slightly and scratched his cheek, looking at the exhausted Zhan Heng. "Mr. Zhan Heng, did the cubs... eat too much? Every single one of them drank an entire bottle of milk fruit juice."

Zhan Heng didn’t understand and looked at Grandma Shi as if asking for help. Grandma Shi also felt it was too much and looked toward the older elders in the family. After glancing around the room, everyone shook their heads.

"I’ve never seen anyone eat so much. But then again... having a good appetite is a blessing, right?" one of them reasoned.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, simply not knowing the answer. Gu Weilan felt everything was fine, but Zhan Heng’s phoenix eyes were filled with worry. Left with no choice, she called for the resident school doctor to come and take a look.

"The school doctor won’t find out that I secretly fed the cubs potions, will he?" Gu Weilan thought.

"He won’t. You can rest assured," Pomegranate Seed replied.

Having received Pomegranate Seed’s guarantee, Gu Weilan finally relaxed. After checking all the vital signs, the school doctor informed all the Beastmen present.

"The cubs are incredibly healthy. That’s why they can eat and sleep so much. Once they start stretching out and growing taller, everything will be just fine."

After seeing the school doctor off, the Pharmacy Professor hurriedly sent Gu Weilan a message on her Light Brain.

"Did you really experiment with your improved Cultivation Liquid on your own cubs? You are so bold!" he wrote.

Gu Weilan pursed her lips and replied on her Light Brain, "But the very first version of my Cultivation Liquid was also tested on my own cubs."

The Pharmacy Professor thought about it and responded, "That’s true. The Extraction Instrument can show whether the Cultivation Liquid you formulated is toxic, and it can also indicate the quality grade of the medicinal liquid you extracted. So, do you still plan to sign the contract with the academy?"

Gu Weilan quickly replied, "I’ll sign it. Let the dean come in three days. For the next few days, I’ll be quite busy with the little ones."

Holding his Incubation Pod, Shi Lingfeng deeply envied Zhan Heng’s cubs. However, he had a premonition that his own cubs would probably also take nearly seven months to be born.

Samuel looked at his own three-month pregnant belly, feeling it was impossible for him to carry for seven months. It was usually six months; could it be an issue with the Cultivation Liquid? Even if there was an issue, it had to be a positive one. Samuel had carefully examined the four little Qilin cubs, and good heavens, they were too healthy! Those sturdy little legs were clearly packed with strength! If only the two cubs in his belly could be as robust as Zhan Heng Beast Husband’s cubs!

Zhan Heng embraced Gu Weilan, planting a kiss on the top of her head. He held her soft, white hand, gently playing with her fingers.

"Have you decided what to name the cubs?" he asked, his deep voice carrying a mix of extreme exhaustion and relaxed relief.

"The eldest son will be Gu Zhan Yuan, and the second son will be Gu Zhanqian," Gu Weilan nodded. "The third son has an atavistic bloodline, so let’s call him Gu Zhanchang. As for our little daughter..."

Zhan Heng paused, his breathing growing noticeably lighter.

Gu Weilan sighed softly. "I’ll leave it to the Zhan Family to name her. She will inherit the position of Clan Leader of the Zhan Family in the future, right?"

Zhan Heng couldn’t help but smile, kissing Gu Weilan’s cheek again and again. "In the Zhan Family, the most capable person inherits the position. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a female."

Gu Weilan shot him a sideways glance. "Just tell me if you want our daughter to inherit the Clan Leader position or not! There’s no need to say these useless things! Could it be that you won’t be able to teach our daughter well enough?"

Zhan Heng pursed his lips; he had just wanted to be polite. Many Female Masters, upon giving birth to a female cub, would scheme to manipulate their Beast Husband’s family. They would demand sufficient benefits before allowing the female cub to take her father’s surname.

Gu Weilan waved her hand dismissively. "You don’t need to think about that. Just focus on resting and recuperating. Once you recover, we still have to give birth to even more cubs!"

"Host, the White Tiger Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan hold military power in the legion. If you want to solidify your position and not fear assassination attempts, why don’t you feed the two at home some Spiritual Spring Water to help them recover?" Pomegranate Seed suggested.
