Chapter 134: Chapter 134: The Birth of the 3rd Child

Gu Weilan had the planting robot fetch some centuries-old Angelica root, Astragalus, and other medicinal herbs from her space. She divided the eighteen medicinal herbs for the Bloodline Purification Bath into three portions, using the Extraction Instrument to process every six herbs into one vial of extract.

She planned to hand these over to Shi Lingfeng. This way, the Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid produced by the academy’s expanded factories would be of the excellent level, while the liquid produced by the Shi family would reach the Selection Level.

This was similar to how Gu Weilan frequently gave Housekeeper Zhan Ci aged corn, soybeans, and other crops from her space to add to the blending barrels for Cultivation Liquid, thereby elevating the rating of the Cultivation Liquid produced under the Zhan family brand. The academy aimed for affordable pricing, whereas the Cultivation Liquid and Bloodline Purification Bath Liquid produced by the Zhan family and the Shi family took the high-end route. This ensured the two sides wouldn’t conflict with each other. With different target audiences, neither side would feel displeased.

Gu Weilan discussed it with Pomegranate Seed. "Let me put it this way. For Beastmen who improve their physiques through the Bloodline Purification Bath and then mate to produce cubs, shouldn’t I get a ten percent points commission?"

Pomegranate Seed’s eyes lit up. "You’re right! I’ll go apply for it with the higher-ups!"

Before long, Pomegranate Seed returned, looking crestfallen. "The main system said the Host can only get the ten percent points commission for cubs with atavistic bloodlines."

Gu Weilan raised an eyebrow. "That’s already great! I was just taking a shot in the dark anyway. Thank you, Pomegranate Seed!"

Pomegranate Seed instantly regained its spirit. "Is that so? Then we’ve practically gained an extra source of income for nothing!"

"Exactly! That’s what I mean! If they had flatly refused, we wouldn’t have gotten anything, right? You helped me secure a ten percent points commission for atavistic bloodline cubs, which is a pleasant surprise!"

Pomegranate Seed puffed out its little chest, its pomegranate head bearing a proud expression.

Just then, Pomegranate Seed hurriedly reminded Gu Weilan, "Hurry! Xie Jing’s cubs are about to be born!"

Before Gu Weilan could even browse the points prices of different spatial villas in the System Mall, she quickly exited her space.

She hurried to Xie Jing’s door and heard his muffled groans. Pushing the door open, she saw him looking deathly pale, appearing completely drained of all energy. She hastily pressed her hand against the energy transfer point on the other side of the Incubation Pod.

"Host, do your best! There’s an atavistic cub in there, so it requires a large amount of energy," Pomegranate Seed urged.

Gu Weilan hurriedly pushed herself to the limit, transferring energy into the Incubation Pod. Xie Jing’s face was ashen; he was clearly at the end of his rope as well.

However, the cubs seemed to ache for their Mother and Father, and they soon emerged.

As the Incubation Pod opened, Gu Weilan heard the broadcast:

"Congratulations to the Host for birthing a male atavistic Golden Qilin Clan cub. 100,000 points rewarded. Host is additionally rewarded with Luck +1.

"Congratulations to the Host for birthing a female Mole Clan cub. 2,000 points rewarded.

"Congratulations to the Host for birthing a female atavistic Fire Qilin Clan cub. 200,000 points rewarded. Host is additionally rewarded with the Samadhi True Fire Resistance Talent Skill."

Gu Weilan raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but ask, "I can understand Luck +1. It means having good fortune, getting what I wish for, and everything going smoothly, right? But what is this Samadhi True Fire Resistance?"

"It means the Host doesn’t need to fear ordinary fire," Pomegranate Seed explained. "For example, if another Beastman attacks you with a Beast Rank Fire Element Talent Skill, you have built-in resistance and don’t need to be afraid at all. However, if you encounter the Six Ding Divine Fire of the Vermilion Bird Clan, that won’t work. You’ll have to run."

Gu Weilan understood. Only then did she look at the Little Golden Qilin cub that Xie Jing was carrying out. Its large, adorable eyes were rimmed with a sprinkle of gold. However... the tip of its Qilin horn was pink, making it look a bit like a female cub. It was small and chubby, only a size larger than Xie Jing’s palm. It looked slightly frail, not as robust as the largest cub Zhan Heng had birthed.

When Xie Jing brought out the little female Mole Clan cub, Gu Weilan pursed her lips. She truly couldn’t bring herself to appreciate moles. She felt like she had stars in her eyes just a moment ago, but upon seeing the little female mole, her gaze instantly went dead.

Xie Jing, on the other hand, treasured the little female mole cub beyond measure. He carefully placed the cub on the bed, immediately pulling a small blanket from his Space Button to cover its tiny belly.

Finally, Xie Jing scooped out a completely fiery-red female Fire Qilin cub from the Incubation Pod. This little fellow was adorably chubby—the fattest among her three cubs.

Gu Weilan was puzzled. "Shouldn’t there be a Dolphin Clan cub among them? I remember there being one."

Pomegranate Seed put its hands on its hips, beaming. "This is the work of Luck! You don’t like the Dolphin Clan, so the Luck bonus weakened the dolphin bloodline, allowing another bloodline to become prominent."

Gu Weilan understood. After some thought, she decided not to name the cubs Xie Jing had birthed just yet. She also hadn’t come up with anything for the female mole cub. She really... she just didn’t like rats.

Xie Jing seemed to sense Gu Weilan’s distaste, and his lips trembled. His appearance was currently severely compromised. His eye sockets were sunken with dark circles underneath, and the flesh on his cheeks was nearly gone, leaving them hollow. His lips were peeling, and there was a hint of cowering fear in his phoenix-like eyes.

Gu Weilan took a deep breath and gently patted Xie Jing. "Let’s put the cubs in the nursery first, alright?"

Looking at Gu Weilan’s hand on his shoulder, Xie Jing finally relaxed a little. He looked at her, nodded slightly, and offered the female mole cub he was cradling in his hands to her.

Gu Weilan shook her head gently. "I’ll just carry the little chubby one. Come with me to drop them off first, and then you can come back for the Little Golden Qilin cub."

In the nursery, Gu Weilan and Xie Jing placed the two cubs into the cradle. Only then did Xie Jing reluctantly turn back to fetch the remaining cub.

Gu Weilan took this opportunity to feed a set of cub potions to the two infants. She had instructed the nanny robot to face away from her, and only after she finished feeding the potions did she tell the robot to turn around.

Holding the Little Golden Qilin, Xie Jing then entered the nursery.

Gu Weilan directed Xie Jing and the nanny robot to go downstairs together to prepare some milk-fruit juice. Once they left, she fed another set of cub potions to the Little Golden Qilin cub.

She watched the three little cubs, who seemed hungry and had already begun to whimper. She poked the white belly of the fiery-red Qilin cub, absolutely adoring it. The little fellow was so round and silly-looking, possessing that chubby appearance that everyone loved at first sight.

When Xie Jing went downstairs to prepare the milk-fruit juice, Shi Lingfeng and the others finally learned that Xie Jing had already birthed the cubs. Unable to hold themselves back, they all hurried upstairs.

"Has the Female Master named them yet? Three cubs—what is the last one? I remember the last time I checked, the purity of the Mole Clan bloodline was almost catching up to the Dolphin Clan bloodline," Shi Lingfeng asked curiously.

Lorenzo furrowed his brows slightly. "In that case, the cub’s bloodline aptitude would be very weak, wouldn’t it?" ℯℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Shen Mianzhou pursed his lips, stealing a glance at Xie Jing, who was quietly heating the milk-fruit juice in the kitchen with his lips pressed together tightly. He followed Shi Lingfeng and Lorenzo upstairs, wondering if Xie Jing would be able to form a bond with the Female Master again because of this.
