Chapter 144: Babies with a Father Beast Are Blessed
Fantasy Starry Sky Suite.
Tong Nanxi came from Shoupa 109 Continent and was one of the few to make it into the third stage as a candidate for Holy Mother.
She retained some beast characteristics, with fluffy Red Fox ears and typical seductive fox eyes, her skin a light honey color, and her figure enchanting, particularly her bust and hips, exceptionally talented. She stretched lazily and lightly leaped onto the Star Moon Boat hanging in the air.
The Star Moon Boat swayed back and forth, its dome ceiling carved with thousands of stars and the bright moon, making one feel as though truly amidst the stars.
A charming smile appeared on Tong Nanxi's face.
"Moon, tonight's banquet welcoming the Holy Prince is quite lively, we really missed out by not going to have a look," she said.
"Yes," replied a lively and cheerful-looking handsome boy, eating grapes, "That female from Lichuan 9908 is interesting. And it looks like Lin Xuexue is finished."
Yue, sitting on the bench, closed the book in his hand, raised his face, revealing refined and handsome features, and looked at the boy eating grapes, "Star, what happened?"
Because in their squad, only Star, who loved stirring things up, had gone to the banquet to welcome the Holy Prince. The rest stayed in the suite to rest, reviewing the second stage of the Holy War.
Star spat out the grape skin in his mouth with great aim right into the trash can, "The female from 9908 can eat a lot, and it seems she has some past with the Holy Prince; the two of them definitely didn't meet for the first time. There's also Lin Xuexue, who got slapped twice and almost died of anger, very suspicious."
"Lin Xuexue's talent isn't low, and within the entire pure Holy area, the use of Secret Technique Elemental Power is not allowed, so it was just the power of an ordinary palm. Two slaps shouldn't have had such an effect, so there must be other hidden details?" Xue, with a soft and gorgeous appearance, came out from the room and sat down on a single-seat soft chair.
Star nodded, "Possible, I'll investigate more. But the talent of 9908 is even higher; she's at Heaven Rank. The Secret Technique isn't very clear, might it be related to eating? She ate a lot in the dining area and went for the expensive food particularly."
"That's kind of interesting," Tong Nanxi said, jumping down from the Star Moon Boat and into Yue's arms, "Should we go meet her?"
"No rush," Yue put down his book, his gaze warm as he looked at the female in his arms.
Tong Nanxi spread her legs around his waist, "A female of Heaven Rank, just like me."
Yue looked into her pupils widening with excitement and lowered his head to bite her neck.
A streak of red blood flowed down her light honey-colored neck, and Tong Nanxi looked at the other two, "Come here..."

Sally lay on Zi Qi's shoulder, swishing her long mouse tail, feeling utterly content with her full belly.
"A baby with a Father Beast is truly bliss," she said.
Zi Qi looked at her with soft, loving eyes, "There's an auction house up ahead, want to go check it out?"
Sally stood up and saw auction house staff up ahead handing out flyers.
"Yes, yes, let's go!"
"Be careful," Zi Qi told her, already walking towards the auction house as she showed interest.
Sally took out a piece of dried fish meat from her System Space to chew on, as her mouth needed to keep moving. If she paused for too long, Xiaomei would remind her it was time to eat.
"Do you want to try something different?" Zi Qi asked, worried she might get tired of the same taste.
Sally shook her head, "No need, I'm the least picky when I'm pregnant, even raw meat tastes especially good."
"Hehe," Zi Qi said affectionately, holding her in the palm of his hand, "I will find you the rarest and most exquisite ingredients."
Through Xiaoqi and this child, he was very certain that the development of the fetus's talents depended on what she ate, so he had been looking for those particularly rare treasures these past two days.
Back on Earth, Sally had also done part-time work at an auction house. Some under-the-table transactions were actually carried out at these seemingly aboveboard auctions. Why would a vase worth only tens or hundreds of thousands sell for nine or ten figures? The buyers weren't fools; the value certainly wasn't just in the vase alone. But sometimes there really were good items, so one needed to open their eyes wide and discern carefully.
Zi Qi took Sally by the hand, and with the guidance of the staff, they entered the doors of the auction house.
But when they saw the inside, there were no tables, chairs, or benches, and the space felt very... limited. This didn't look like an auction house, but more like an empty warehouse, with dark walls and uneven floors. It was definitely a rundown warehouse.
It didn't have the appearance of an auction house at all; Sally felt a bit disappointed.
"I guess there won't be any good items, let's continue shopping instead."
"Yeah," Zi Qi also prepared to leave.
Just then, the owner of the auction house came out from a small door and saw Zi Qi, who was dressed luxuriously. He immediately greeted them warmly, "Esteemed guests, are you here to participate in our Hongbao auction?"
Sally spoke up, "Boss, you've chosen a really good name for your auction house, but this place inside..."
"The lady has misunderstood, misunderstood, this is a back door, but it also leads into the auction. The main entrance is at the front, on Holy Hong Street, number 78, please come inside quickly."
Zi Qi asked, "Do you have a list of items for auction today?"
"Yes, yes." The owner took out an auction catalog from his space ring, "This is it, take your time looking through it. Even if what you want isn't listed in the catalog, just mention it and I will make sure to obtain it for you."
Sally, leaning on Zi Qi's shoulder, asked, "I would like a Soul-Nurturing Fruit, I don't know if you have it?"
This was an ingredient mentioned to her by Xiaomei, which was definitely beneficial for the fetus. However, Zi Qi had been looking for two days without any clues.
The owner's eyes lit up, "The esteemed guest is in luck, it was just delivered this morning, I haven't even had the chance to list it in the catalog. It's planned to be the last mysterious item for auction."
After Zi Qi finished looking through the auction catalog, he told the owner, "Well, I'm not interested in the items listed. How about we make a deal for this order first?"
"Of course, every customer who comes in is a valued guest, feel free to choose any item from my shop," the owner said, leading Zi Qi and Sally upstairs.
"The Soul-Nurturing Fruit can nourish the soul. It's easy to heal physical injuries, but soul injuries are another matter. However, soul injuries are quite rare, so even if it's available on the market, it's often difficult to sell. When I acquired it this morning, I was still hesitant about whether to keep it or not. Luckily, I did. Please come in," the owner said, opening the door to the VIP room.
The interior was elegantly and comfortably furnished, with some meaningful paintings hanging on the walls.
Sally jumped off Zi Qi's shoulder onto the table, circled around the fruit plate, and then picked up a juicy heart-shaped green fruit and started munching on it with a crunch.
It was very sweet, tasting a bit like apple, a bit like green plum, but anyway, it was delicious.
"I like this one, let's buy some to take back to the hotel later."
"All right," replied Zi Qi, who now loved watching her eat, finding her delectable in every way.
The owner soon returned, holding a jade box in his hands.
