"Don't spew nonsense, Lenko," said Lester.
Lenko, however, did not listen to his brother. "Actually, before I came here, Father banned me from learning how to improve my psionic strength after he learned about my rank. He did that to ensure the continuation of the Waltzan family bloodline."
He pursed his lips and continued, "In any case, the laws laid down by Beast God didn't say that males with Rank SSS+ psionic strength would certainly have no descendants. What if you got lucky? So, you should be brave and go after her if you like her."
Lenko fled as soon as he said that.
"He actually had the guts to lecture me. What a cheeky brat." Lester shook his head helplessly. Lenko was still the same as he was when he was a child. He did not change at all.
Lester had thought about what Lenko mentioned. It was just that his result was the same every time he did his checkup at Hildi Beastkin Hospital—he was infertile. It was destined to be very difficult for him to have a child. It was not 100%, but the doctor was 99% sure of it.
That was no different from saying it was 100% and sentencing him to death.
It would be impossible for him to get a partner in this life.
…
Daphne had hardly left her room for the past week because she was studying very hard on the rules of this planet. Her belly was bulging at great speed.
She did not expect that her baby would grow so quickly. She even called for the system because of it. That was when she learned that Beastkin pregnancy, from conception to birth, only lasted a month, and she was no exception.
It only took half a month for Daphne to go from being scared to feeling the fetal movement to looking forward to the birth of her child.
She did not see Lester at all for half a month, but she saw Lenko very often. Lenko was very chatty. He should only be about 15 years old in human age, which meant that Daphne was not that much older than him. They would chat for a while sometimes when they bumped into each other.
One day, Lenko ran to her in excitement and said, "Daphne, my vacation is ending in two days, and I'll have to return to my family. I want to give you a gift before I leave, but I don't know what you like. That's why I came to ask you."
Daphne had long treated him as her friend, so she did not refuse. "How much is your budget?"
"Er… 500 thousand dollars! That's all I have left on my card. My family will only be giving me my allowance next month, but I can't wait until then anymore," Lenko replied.
"I'll have to give it a good thought. I've been too bored staying here lately. There's nothing much to do," said Daphne.
A lightbulb went off in Lenko's head. "Oh yes, you can download the hottest app for short videos in this interstellar empire. Many interesting things or the latest news would often be posted in the app. I would scroll through it to kill time when I was bored."
"But I don't have a phone. I can't use your method to kill time," said Daphne.
"That's a small issue. I'll order one for you on my phone. It'll be delivered by drone in half an hour."
"Really?" Daphne asked.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Lenko asked in return.
"Alright. The phone shall be your gift to me, then," said Daphne.
"Huh? Is it too simple?" Lenko asked.
Daphne shook her head. "I'll like the gift as long as it's from you. I also can't let you spend too much money."
"Alright, then. I'll be back, and I'll definitely pick the most expensive gift for you then."
"Alright. It's a deal," said Daphne.
Lenko started picking a phone with the best performance on the marketplace for Daphne. He did not see it, but her lips curled into a smile.
