Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293 - Taming the Old World - Compulsory Reaction - 4

"Grandma...!"

"It is the truth, making kids is nothing easy like the stories from the old days," Selphira continued, unfazed and visibly enjoying herself.

"Having children somehow gets harder with every passing generation. Even people who live past a hundred and fifty barely manage to have one or two in their entire lives. Look around you; we are the only creatures in this world that do not hatch from eggs... Half the time, I think the world itself finds us so strange that it flatly refuses to let us reproduce too much."

She slid a sideways glance toward Ren, her eyes glinting with genuine curiosity. "I am starting to believe we really did come here from the stars, just like that message in the ruins and that ’engineer’ fellow claimed."

Ren blinked, caught off guard that Selphira would casually bring that up right before a battle.

"Still, none of that matters right now," Selphira said, waving a hand through the air. "What matters is that the four of you need to put some real effort into it, my dears. You are my four favorite people in the world. I want to see you build a huge, stable family that lasts for at least a millennium. I want to walk through the halls and see your faces repeated everywhere I look, in a whole pack of noisy, weird little kids just like you!"

Liora could not stomach the embarrassment for another second.

"GRANDMA, STOP IT ALREADY!"

Blushing all the way to the tips of her ears, Liora marched over, planted both hands against Selphira’s back, and shoved the veteran commander toward the stone stairs. Selphira let herself be pushed out of the chamber with a low, raspy chuckle, thoroughly pleased to have planted the exact chaos she came down here to plant.

Yet, in a twist Ren did not see coming, the moment her grandmother was safely out of sight, Liora turned around and followed the old woman’s supposed "advice" anyway...

????

Instead of walking straight up to the pillar, Liora headed over to Luna and Larissa, who had stayed at the very back of the line to wait for Ren.

Leaning in close, she whispered something directly into their ears...

Both of them stiffened at once. Flushing slightly, the two girls looked at each other, then back to Liora, engaging in one of those silent, rapid-fire conferences the three of them often held that Ren could never quite figure out.

By then, the subterranean chamber had emptied out completely. Up on the surface, the squads were already falling into formation, Tamers climbing onto the backs of the flying beasts as the distant roar of mobilization filled the air.

Down here in the deep cavern of the crystal vein, there was nobody left to watch.

It was just Ren and the three of them.

"Alright," Ren said, stepping forward and extending his right hand toward the nearest of the three with his usual brisk urgency. "No time to waste. Come on, let me pass you the..."

His voice trailed off.

None of the three girls reached out to take his hand.
