During her time here, Yu Zhizhi had also learned many things about the Beast World Planet from various sources.
One of those things was about Beast cubs.
All egg-born Beast cubs had to undergo an ability test on their hatching day.
In addition, they also had to receive the blessings of their closest relatives.
These four wolf cubs were the long-awaited heirs of the K family, so they were given the utmost importance, and all preparations had been made long in advance.
On Beast Star, females possessed absolute reproductive freedom.
No power or faction could interfere, and they were required to provide comprehensive assistance.
Lisa brought over a custom-tailored noble's gown.
"Ms. Zhi Zhi, allow Lisa to help you change~"
"Okay, thank you, Lisa."
It was a light purple evening gown, exquisitely and lavishly crafted. In addition to Lisa, two other maids came to help her put it on.
"So beautiful..." Lisa murmured.
Ms. Zhi Zhi was just too gorgeous...
She was the most beautiful female Lisa had ever seen!
Especially after she changed into the noble's long gown, which accentuated her slim waist, her beautiful figure was eye-catching.
The young woman's silky, long hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, making her skin seem whiter than snow and her eyes look as if they held all the stars of the night sky.
Housekeeper Qiao, who was waiting at the door, was visibly stunned for a moment when he saw Yu Zhizhi.
"Ms. Zhi Zhi." He performed a gentleman's bow.
"Housekeeper Qiao, please lead the way."
Since laying the four Beast Eggs, Yu Zhizhi hadn't seen the four little cubs again.
And today, they were going to hatch—
Just thinking about it made her heart flutter with excitement.
The crystal shoes on Yu Zhizhi's feet had been specially processed, making them incredibly soft, comfortable, and a perfect fit. She walked on the red carpet, passed through the magnificent hall, and arrived outside the castle.
The location for the Beast cubs' hatching ceremony was just to the right of the castle.
The entire path was covered with a red carpet.
Today, the K family had specially invited many prestigious families and powerful figures from the Imperial City.
They had arrived long before and had been waiting respectfully in the banquet hall for a long time.
Hearing the commotion, all the Beastmen turned to look—
The beautiful figure walking in behind Housekeeper Qiao was one of today's main attractions. Yu Zhizhi's steps were cute and elegant, each one seeming to land right on the hearts of the Beastmen present.
The diamond-encrusted crown on her head was dazzling. Her lips, painted a cherry red, were charming and coquettish.
This female from the Rabbit Clan had just advanced to Imperial S-level and received preferential treatment from the entire population.
Her photos had long since appeared on all of Beast Star's major forums, where she had gained a large following of online admirers.
Seeing her in person, they realized that this S-Class female from the Rabbit Clan was even more beautiful than her photos.
Yu Zhizhi's eyes, shimmering as if with spring water, were both lively and innocent. It made the Beastmen present not dare to even breathe too loudly, for fear of startling her.
In the very center of the lavishly decorated banquet hall, the four Beast Eggs were shaking.
They were very, very close to hatching...
"Welcome, everyone. Thank you for traveling from afar to attend the K family's Beast cub hatching ceremony. On behalf of my elder brother, I thank you all."
A clear and pure voice rang out, and a figure appeared before the crowd.
Yu Zhizhi looked up.
A young man dressed in a noble's formal attire walked over.
He wore a long black robe with a gold-threaded collar and a high top hat, looking noble and elegant.
'...Elder brother?' Yu Zhizhi was a little confused.
Housekeeper Qiao smiled and explained, "This is Don Nal K. He is the twin brother of the K family's current acting leader, Donald K."
Donald was the current acting leader of the K family.
Yu Zhizhi had heard about this from Lisa.
Once Tang Locke was ready to take on the heavy responsibility, he would officially become the 260th leader of the K family.
The K family was the oldest and most prominent branch of the Wolf Clan.
Among them, the Black Wolves and White Wolves were the most numerous.
Tang Locke was from the Black Wolf line.
While his two twin cousins were from the White Wolf line.
Don Nal came before the little female from the Rabbit Clan, smiled, and bowed. "We finally meet, Ms. Zhi Zhi."
He had been traveling abroad and had only just returned the day before yesterday.
Yu Zhizhi returned the bow.
She had been fine in her room, but now that she was here at the event, her heart had started to pound for some reason.
Don Nal noticed and said with a smile, "Ms. Zhi Zhi, this is your first time attending such a ceremony. There's no need to be nervous. Just leave everything to me and Housekeeper Qiao."
Unlike Tang Locke, Don Nal's personality was very warm and cheerful.
They both had red eyes.
Tang Locke's were like pools of rich, scarlet blood.
But if you looked closely at the eyes of the Wolf Clan young man before her, they were like two rubies—ancient, precious, and sparkling brilliantly.
Yu Zhizhi nodded lightly.
Everything was ready.
Don Nal turned and announced, "Let us welcome the Godfather to make his proclamation."
The hatching ceremony began with an address from a famous Godfather of the Empire.
As Don Nal's voice fell, a slender figure dressed in a black church Divine Robe appeared in the sight of the Beastmen.
When Yu Zhizhi saw his face clearly, her eyes suddenly widened.
'...It's him?'
Yu Zhizhi remembered this person's appearance perfectly.
She never expected to run into him here.
'—He's the Godfather?'
Although they had met in an abandoned church, the title of "Godfather" seemed completely out of place for him.
Yu Zhizhi was dressed in splendid attire today, completely different from her usual self.
'Maybe he won't recognize me?'
Clinging to this sliver of hope, she discreetly took a small step to the side.
Dracula, disguised as the Godfather, passed through the crowd of Beastmen and came to Don Nal's side.
He immediately spotted the little female who looked like she wished she could shrink behind a crystal pillar.
'This detestable little female. Yesterday in the church, I devoured her until not even her bones were left. When I mentioned her being a servant in the K family, she looked so flustered that I didn't press for details. It seems now that she was hiding a lot.'
Yu Zhizhi was observing him secretly.
She noticed that the "Godfather's" gaze never lingered on her.
'Could it be that I misremembered him? Or maybe I just haven't been resting well these past few days, and my memory is failing me. That male from the Beast Clan had a very hidden identity. He obviously wasn't a member of the K family, nor did he have any connection to a Godfather. How could he possibly appear here?'
Yu Zhizhi let out a soft sigh of relief in her heart.
'I was just being paranoid.'
The Godfather's address concluded.
The entire hall erupted in thunderous applause.
At the same time, the four Beast Eggs behind her began to crack, one by one...
Tiny little Beast cub heads poked out from within.
"The Young Masters are hatching!!" Housekeeper Qiao shouted excitedly, his eyes nearly bursting with tears.
You have to understand, the K family had been waiting for this moment for nearly twenty years!!
"Ms. Zhi Zhi." Don Nal came to her side and made an inviting gesture. "Please give them your blessing."
On the Beast World Planet, a Beast cub's hatching day was the most important day of its life, and only its closest relatives could bestow a blessing upon the cub.
If both of the Beast cub's closest relatives were absent, then the most respected and prestigious leader of the family would take their place.
Yu Zhizhi saw the four little wolf cubs that had poked out, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
She slowly walked over...
