Chapter 972 - 958: Primal State

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao’s heart trembled as she placed her hand on her belly, feeling a sudden tenderness within her.

"I was just thinking about the giant beast and forgot about this."

"So, after giving birth to Zaizai, Mei Qingchen will become the Beast God, right?"

"Then we can leave the Divine Domain Fragment."

Previously, Xiao Xing said that with six Beast Gods established, the Divine Domain could be repaired, new rules set, and she could leave this place.

Jing Chu had said the same before.

Su Muyao loved Zaizai very much, feeling that the cubs in the Beast World were cute, smart, soft, adorable, and beautiful.

Thinking of the cubs made her heart soft and warm.

She felt like her heart was about to melt from the cuteness.

The system spoke, "Host, this might not be the world of the Divine Domain Fragment because I can’t feel the previous Rule Power, nor any suppressing power. Could it be that we’ve left the Divine Domain Fragment World?"

The system was a bit confused.

The system released its System Power to probe the surroundings.

Su Muyao asked, "Have you discovered anything?"

The system replied, "No, it’s just very strange here."

The system wanted to ask Xiao Xing, but found Xiao Xing asleep.

Since entering here, Xiao Xing had fallen asleep.

As Su Muyao talked with the system, she had already washed up.

Mei Qingchen handed Su Muyao a wooden bowl with roasted meat, "Taste it and see how it is?"

Su Muyao felt that Mei Qingchen’s roasted meat looked very appetizing.

She was indeed hungry.

After hurrying to reach Ghost Ruins Canyon without rest, they were swept away by a flood. Who knows how long it took to reach this place?

Afterward, it was just bonding and sleeping.

She hadn’t eaten anything during this process and was truly hungry.

Everything looked appetizing.

But Mei Qingchen couldn’t bear to push her. After the backlash from the Beast Power was lifted, he let her sleep through the night.

She could feel his tenderness towards her.

Mei Qingchen had cut the meat very thin. She picked it up with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Mei Qingchen watched her nervously, afraid it wouldn’t taste good.

After a few bites, Su Muyao finally felt her stomach wasn’t empty, and her stomach felt comfortable, "Delicious."

"This meat is very fragrant, not fishy at all."

Su Muyao could tell the meat only had a little salt but was very tasty.

The meat itself was fragrant, and the roasting was good.

"This giant beast meat is different from the normal wild animal meat we usually eat; it’s not fishy."

Previously, when they ate roasted meat, the ingredients had a bit of a fishy taste, but this one didn’t at all.

Seeing Su Muyao enjoy eating, Mei Qingchen smiled softly, "There’s plenty, eat more if you like."

"The giant beast meat here is indeed different from regular animal meat; the texture is better."

Mei Qingchen enjoyed watching Su Muyao eat, feeling a sense of satisfaction when he saw her eating.

Su Muyao nodded as she ate, "The texture is indeed different."

"It has its own fragrance."

"You should eat too."

Mei Qingchen replied softly, "Okay."

After eating, Mei Qingchen packed up, and they planned to explore the forest. Su Muyao wanted to tell Mei Qingchen she was pregnant with Zaizai but was afraid he’d worry.

She thought she’d wait until they returned to tell him.

The two of them climbed down from the tree hollow and headed deeper into the forest.

Along the way, Su Muyao also discovered large eggplants, chives, and large grains of wheat.

"Everything here is so big, these wheat grains are several times the size of regular ones."

This wheat was particularly suitable for storing in space.

It could produce a lot of flour.

Su Muyao took out a knife and quickly cut the wheat, putting it all in her space.

"There’s so much food here."

Seeing the food made Su Muyao’s eyes light up.

Mei Qingchen said, "Let me do it, wife take a rest."

Su Muyao replied, "It’s fine, it’s not tiring."

She enjoyed doing this, harvesting food was a happy task, especially with such large wheat grains.

"Later, we can make a bigger stone mill and grind it all into flour."

Her space also had many crops planted, with plenty of flour stored, but the large wheat grains felt different.

Not sure if the texture would be better too.

Also, the large eggplants and chives, "We could make chive buns with these."

Talking about chive buns made Su Muyao feel hungry.

She wanted to eat chive buns.

Being pregnant with Zaizai, she was easily hungry.

But while they were harvesting the wheat, they heard a buzzing sound.

When Su Muyao turned her head, she saw massive bees.

Her pupils shrank, "These bees are so big."

With bees this big, you could see the stingers on them; getting stung would surely cause a huge bump.

Mei Qingchen was about to draw his sword, but Su Muyao stopped him, "Don’t move, don’t provoke them."

If provoked, more bees might come, making it hard to handle.

Su Muyao took a bottle of insect repellent powder from her space and sprinkled it on both of them, keeping the bees from approaching.

The system spoke up, "Host, the honey from these bees’ nest must be really good."

Su Muyao also wanted to get some honey.

Because she thought of marinating the bird and beast meat in her space with honey, it would roast beautifully.

She realized she really didn’t have any honey in her space.

Nor sugar.

Su Muyao resisted the temptation, "Better not to risk it."

The system agreed, "True, the host is carrying two cubs now, safety first."

Su Muyao was startled, "You mean there are two again this time?"

The system explained, "Yes, because Mei Qingchen’s bloodline is special, he carries the bloodline of a plant-type beastman, so the host will have two cubs, one a Golden Leopard cub, the other a Pure-blood Golden Lotus beastman cub."

Hearing this, Su Muyao was shocked, feeling a bit incredulous.

She couldn’t imagine what a plant-type beastman cub would be like.

After a while, she returned to herself and asked, "What does a Golden Lotus cub look like?"

The system replied, "Host, I don’t know either. You’ll find out once you give birth."

Thinking about these things excited Su Muyao, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.

She thought of finding a chance to tell Mei Qingchen about it.

Talking about it during the journey would just make him worry too much.

After a day’s journey, Su Muyao was very hungry. They found a spot by a river, where Su Muyao took some bird and beast meat from her space to prepare for roasting.

She also got out tools to chop eggplants and chives, taking out pork to make chive buns.

For her health and the cubs, she needed to eat well and not go hungry.

Once cooked, Su Muyao took a big piece of chive bun, "Delicious, it’s satisfying to eat big pieces."

It’s like a big pancake, and eating one was nearly filling.

Mei Qingchen fried some food for Su Muyao before eating himself.

It was the first time Mei Qingchen tried chive buns.

He didn’t expect the food to turn out so delicious.

Su Muyao ate one after another, feeling she was eating a lot.

She ate much more than Mei Qingchen.

Mei Qingchen didn’t think much of it, only feeling he’d not taken good care of his wife, letting her go hungry.

But just as they finished eating, they heard strange noises.

"Howl, howl, howl..."

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Mei Qingchen’s expression turned serious, "Someone’s coming."

He swiftly leapt with Su Muyao to hide in the trees.

The trees here were very tall, reaching into the clouds, and from above, they could see a group of figures with torches.

They wore beast skins with bone ornaments, looking like they were from a primitive society.

Among them, one person even had some paint applied, barely recognizable.

Su Muyao whispered, "They’re the beastmen from here, looking similar to regular beastmen, not giant beasts."

"What’s going on?"

Mei Qingchen said, "Let’s watch for a while."

"Maybe they’re not local beastmen either."

"Perhaps they were drawn here by us cooking."

They were talking below.

"High Priest, is this the place, or did we come too late and they’ve already left?"
