Chapter 354: Giving Birth to 3 Kittens

Hearing the system’s notification, Yu Zhizhi quickly sat up.

She fluffed up the pillow and leaned back against it.

From her inventory, she took out the Painless Potion and drank it in one gulp.

The strange sensation in her abdomen grew more and more distinct...

One minute later.

[System: Ding! Congratulations, Host, on a successful birth! Reward: 300 points! You have given birth to three kittens in total. Bonus reward: 600 points!]

[System: Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have reached Level 6! The Teleportation Array has been unlocked!]

[System: Ding! The Postpartum Care Gift Bag has been distributed. Please check for it.]

[System: Friendly reminder, you are 1200 points away from Level 7. Reaching Level 10 is considered mission completion, and the Host may choose to return home.]

’Kittens!’

Yu Zhizhi happily threw back the covers. Lying on the sheet were three translucent Beast Eggs, shimmering with a faint light like crystals in the warm glow of the lamp.

They bore the mark of the Cat Clan.

Yu Zhizhi touched them gently. They were slightly warm.

She got up, went to the bathroom, filled the tub with water, and carried the Beast Eggs over one by one.

She sat beside the tub and took the opportunity to inspect the Postpartum Care Gift Bag.

A Red Fortune Bag opened before her.

[Congratulations, Host, you have received the postpartum rewards!]

Transparent bubbles scrolled into view.

[Excellent-Tasting Nutrient Liquid x20]

[Perfect Hidden Scent Potion (Effective for 72 hours) x10]

[Painless Potion x1]

[No Pregnancy Rejection Card x1]

[Storage Shelf +10 Card x1]

[Crazy-making pheromones x3]

[Temporary Invisibility Card (30 minutes) x1]

[Territory Illusion Simulation x1]

Yu Zhizhi was familiar with most of the rewards.

Most were things she could use daily, like the Nutrient Liquid, Hidden Scent Potion, and Storage Shelf. There were also items for the next mission, such as the Painless Potion, No Pregnancy Rejection Card, and Crazy-making pheromones.

The Temporary Invisibility Card was a bit special; she had never gotten one of those before.

And then there was the Territory Illusion Simulation...

She had unlocked territories at Level 5, but her application was currently stuck with the Empire Alliance.

Curious, Yu Zhizhi tapped on the territory simulation, and a vast, empty base opened up before her like a projection.

A prompt in red text appeared to the side—

[The Host can use this space to simulate the layout of existing items. Once you enter the real territory, the layout can be applied with a single click.]

At the very bottom, it also showed the Host’s available funds.

It was just like a game’s item shop.

’Does this mean I don’t have to worry about the base being a total ruin when I get there? As long as I arrange things in the illusion simulation in my spare time, I can apply it all with one click when I finally enter the real territory.’

Besides Gold Coins, operations also required spending crystals.

’Luckily...’

Yu Zhizhi had a habit of checking in daily.

The system rewarded crystals for every check-in. She had accumulated so many and hadn’t spent any yet.

She had missed a few days during more dangerous times, but she would always tap it when she had a moment. From the looks of it, the number of crystals she had was more than enough to build the base.

Yu Zhizhi closed the introduction page.

She gently wiped the Kitty Beast Eggs in the warm water with a white towel.

The Little Octopus heard the noise and came waddling over. It leaned against the side of the tub, looked at the three Beast Eggs inside, and reached out a tentacle to poke them gently.

"Little kitties."

It recognized the mark on the Beast Eggs.

Yu Zhizhi found a wooden box in her residence. She opened the lid and lined it with a soft pillow towel.

After washing and drying the Beast Eggs, she placed them side by side in the wooden box.

’The Cat Clan should be able to sense them soon...’

’Especially in the Land of Prophecy.’

The Little Octopus leaned on the edge of the wooden box, watching for a long time.

Eventually, it drifted off to sleep.

Yu Zhizhi went to the outer room and saw the Purple Fox curled up on the bed. She couldn’t help but sit on the edge of the bed and gently touch its forehead.

A good night’s sleep had restored a fair bit of her spiritual power, which she slowly used to heal the Purple Fox’s body.

It slowly lifted its eyelids. Its body was still exhausted, and even the figure before it was exceptionally blurry.

It sniffed...

’Seems to be... a female from the Rabbit Clan.’

Over the next two days, Yu Zhizhi regularly helped heal the Purple Fox’s body.

By the third day, it was finally able to stay conscious.

Yu Zhizhi placed a meal from the small tavern beside it.

The Purple Fox still couldn’t get up.

But now that it was conscious, it lay quietly on the wooden bed, its purple tail wrapped around its body.

It looked at the fresh grilled fish before it and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Thank you."

The Purple Fox used its paw to pull the leaf it was served on closer.

The fox’s teeth bit into the grilled fish, and it began to eat methodically.

Even though it was in its Beast Form, Yu Zhizhi hadn’t expected a Fox Beast to eat so elegantly.

"Your servant... she said she was going to contact the other guards and left you in my care for now."

’Servant?’

The Purple Fox looked up, its pale violet eyes shimmering in the light.

"A goat?"

Yu Zhizhi nodded. "Mhm."

The Purple Fox said nothing.

It suddenly asked, "What did she give you as payment?"

"A few spirit cards. I chose them myself. She also wanted to give me the gold and silver she had on her, but carrying that around would have been a hassle, so I didn’t take it."

’She didn’t want gold and silver, but only picked a few spirit cards...’

’This Miss Healer before me is a bit strange.’

The Purple Fox couldn’t help but take another look at her.

For some reason, it felt like it had seen her somewhere before. And yet, the Rabbit Clan Lady’s scent was so unfamiliar.

The fox finished its meal.

It habitually tried to use its spiritual power to clean itself, only to forget that it had no spiritual power to spare.

Yu Zhizhi noticed.

"I’ll go run some hot water for you."

’Even though this mysterious Purple Fox always smells nice, it still needs to bathe regularly.’

A faint blush appeared on the Purple Fox’s face.

It had never been in such a predicament.

It looked up at the young female’s back. Her steps were light, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

After filling the tub, Yu Zhizhi came to carry the Purple Fox to the bathroom.

Just like before, she wrapped her arms around it from behind. The Purple Fox’s body suddenly went rigid. It had never been held like a pet before. Besides, for the small Rabbit Clan female in front of it, this fox was simply too big...

"You can put me down. I’ll go by myself."

"It’s okay, I can carry you."

Every time Yu Zhizhi carried the fox, she had to use a great deal of strength.

’Are adult foxes this heavy?’

’It’s only a little smaller and thinner than a Samoyed.’

’The Purple Fox says it can go on its own, but it barely has the strength to eat. How could it possibly walk?’

Yu Zhizhi shuffled forward bit by bit. The fox’s purple tail drooped to the ground, sweeping the floor like a broom as they went.

The fox wore an expression of utter despair.

The Little Octopus, soaking in the bathtub, burst out laughing when it saw the fox.

Yu Zhizhi whispered, "Make some room..."

The Little Octopus moved its red body and obediently made space.

She placed the Purple Fox inside.

SPLASH! The fox fell into the water, and Yu Zhizhi quickly cupped its head to lift it out.

Now soaking wet, the fur on the fox’s face and its eyelashes were all clumped together, making its pale violet eyes look even more beautiful.
