Chapter 2
Seven Offspring in One Birth… A Legendary SSS+ Fertility Level?
Shen Yue was shocked. She could clearly see the bloodline within the man’s body surging. That was beastly desire erupting.
Just as the man was about to pounce, Shen Yue suddenly noticed a bloodline mark on his waist.
“Wait… you’re a Grand Knight of the K Empire, aren’t you?”
At those words, the man paused.
As expected, she guessed right.
Shen Yue took a deep breath. “Grand Knights of the K Empire are among the most prestigious. Only a few outstanding and pure-blooded beast races are qualified to even take the test. To become a Grand Knight, you must have passed layers of selection and reached a rare combat level above eight!”
The man froze for a moment, his dark brown eyes narrowing as he scrutinized her.
“How do you know so much about the K Empire’s Grand Knight selection? Who are you?”
Finally, he spoke.
Shen Yue let out a breath of relief, but the contractions in her lower abdomen made her gasp again.
“Who I am isn’t important. What matters is how a Grand Knight like you ended up exiled here. If you don’t harm me and help me, I can cure your leg condition and restore your former strength and glory.”
The man’s pupils trembled.
How did she see that he had a leg injury?
He looked at Shen Yue in disbelief. This had been his secret for years. No one knew.
His expression shifted, clearly weighing her identity and the credibility of her words.
Shen Yue possessed medical skills capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh from bone. Her eyes alone were enough to see the severe old injury in his leg at a glance.
But she didn’t have time to waste.
“I’m going into labor. Help me!”
She could already sense other males rapidly approaching, drawn by the scent she was releasing.
“As long as you protect me this once, I will definitely heal your leg. I keep my word!”
The man looked at her pale, pained face and also sensed the presence of approaching adult males. His thin lips pressed together.
“Why should I trust you?”
Sweat poured down Shen Yue’s face.
“Because I could see your leg injury with a single glance!”
Hearing that, his dark brown eyes locked onto her, cold and sharp, as if still hesitating.
After a long moment, he finally spoke slowly:
“I, Si Muye, will trust you this once. If you dare deceive me, even if I violate the Beast God’s law, I will kill you, ugly female.”
Si Muye. A pleasant name, but Shen Yue had no time to dwell on it.
She knew that despite his threatening words, he had already decided to take the gamble.
After all, very few people knew about the K Empire’s Grand Knight selection. Even fewer could recognize one. Unless they were nobles from the royal city.
And the injury in his leg had tormented him for at least ten years. Only a rare SSS-level healing specialist could detect it through perception. No one else could identify it with the naked eye.
In this Beast World, even S-level healers were rare, let alone SSS-level.
Though he appeared calm, he endured constant pain. She had gambled that he would be tempted.
The scent emanating from Shen Yue grew stronger and stronger. To males, it was a fatal poison. Even with all his mental strength, Si Muye could barely resist its allure. He stood guard at the cave entrance, muscles tense, sweat soaking his body.
Who would have thought that this ugly female could release such a rich, overwhelming pheromone? For any male who possessed her, it would be heaven.
He couldn’t even imagine how intoxicating it would be during her heat.
This was a scent he had never encountered in nearly a hundred years in the royal city. Not even the noble young lady of the duke’s house, a perfect female, had ever released a fragrance so powerful it could stir unrest for dozens of miles.
It was unbelievably rare.
Si Muye inhaled greedily.
And at the same time struggled desperately to suppress the restless beastly desire within him.
Meanwhile, males rushing in from all directions above had already gone mad.
Some had even transformed into beasts midway and were fighting other males they encountered along the way.
Si Muye extended his senses and heard the roars and clashes of battle from miles away. His heart jolted. He hadn’t expected this ugly female to cause such a massive disturbance.
Time passed bit by bit.
Inside the cave, aside from the increasingly intense scent, there was no other sound from Shen Yue.
Standing at the entrance, Si Muye grew more and more tense. Not only did he have to resist her scent, but he also worried that if so many males arrived at once, his current strength might not be enough to protect her.
What if he failed, and she fell into the hands of others?
The thought startled him.
He was actually worrying about this ugly female’s safety… even fearing he couldn’t protect her?
Inside, Shen Yue was drenched in sweat. So much time had passed, yet not a single cub had been born.
Weren’t births supposed to be easy for females in the Beast World? Why had she been in labor for so long with no result?
Just then, she felt herself weakening, but a sudden sharp pain struck her lower abdomen.
“Ah!!”
She cried out before losing consciousness from exhaustion.
Si Muye, at the cave entrance, was startled.
“What happened to you?”
No response came from inside.
“Hey! Say something!”
He hadn’t wanted to go in, but after calling out several times with no reply, and sensing her scent growing faint, worry drove him to rush inside.
He saw Shen Yue collapsed on the ground, her long, slender legs exposed. Though her upper garment was long, it still failed to fully cover her.
Si Muye’s breathing halted, his heartbeat skipping.
Then he lowered his gaze and saw seven eggs rolling out behind her.
His eyes widened in disbelief. Thinking he was mistaken, he counted carefully.
“1, 2, 3… 7??”
Seven. There were truly seven.
One birth, seven offspring. How was that possible?
Normally, a healthy female with fertility would give birth to one cub. A rare B-level fertility female might have twins. An A-level female could bear three. Even the most precious S-level fertility females could at most have four.
But seven in one birth… unheard of.
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could this ugly female possess the legendary, never-before-seen SSS-level fertility?
He stared at Shen Yue in shock. With such a rare constitution, if she were in the royal city, wouldn’t royal males be fighting over her?
What a pity… she was just too ugly. Dark skin, a face full of pockmarks, unbearable to look at.
At that moment, Si Muye sensed males arriving above. He quickly removed the last piece of cloth on his body, covering Shen Yue and the eggs, then rushed to the cave entrance.
When he emerged, more than a dozen males surrounded the cave. Their bodies radiated beastly desire, covered in wounds from fighting along the way. They were the victors.
Si Muye narrowed his eyes, releasing his battle aura. The pressure of a pure-blood, high-ranking ancient bear male instantly intimidated the wild males, filling their eyes with fear and hesitation.
But a few fearless ones, completely lost to Shen Yue’s scent, lunged straight at Si Muye.
