Numerous Beastmen were staring at the floating text.
It clearly showed that the two categories, [Spiritual Power] and [Superpower], were grayed out.
This indicated they had yet to be awakened.
Following that, the Rabbit Clan female's Fertility rating appeared.
On it was emblazoned the single word: "Weak."
The crowd of beasts was stunned.
They thought they had misread it.
One Beastman rubbed his eyes hard. When he looked again, the gray text actually seemed to be wavering.
"It's changing! The word is changing!" a Beastman shouted.
"That was from the last evaluation—"
"So the previous evaluation was correct, but her constitution has undergone a massive transformation!"
Before everyone's watchful eyes, the word "Weak" under Fertility changed to "Top-tier"!
"Top-tier Fertility..."
The Beastman's voice trembled. "A Rare evaluation like this hasn't been seen for many, many years!"
"As expected of the female who gave birth to four K family wolf cubs..."
"Yeah, those aren't just ordinary cubs. They're Beast cubs who possess a powerful bloodline and strength!"
"Her status in the Rabbit Clan must be incredibly high!"
Yu Zhizhi stood between the four divine towers, bathed in a golden glow. The glaring letter "D" above her head also seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind.
Soon, golden particles coalesced within the light.
An incomparably dazzling [S] appeared in every Beastman's field of vision.
[S]! The Rabbit Clan female's final rating is [S]!
Lisa jumped for joy. "This is great!"
'Ms. Zhi Zhi is the best!'
The young lady of the Leopard Clan, who had been watching from the crowd, had eyes filled with disbelief. A female who hadn't even awakened her [Spiritual Power] or [Superpower] had a comprehensive evaluation of S-Class!
'How is this possible?'
According to the records of the Valoran Empire, almost all females who reached S-Class had awakened both abilities.
Some had even awakened extremely high spiritual power and very useful Superpowers, advancing directly to SS Level!
Housekeeper Qiao stood to the side, his hands shaking so much he could barely hold his glasses.
He used a clean white handkerchief to wipe the frames.
He was overcome with emotion.
'When we first met, she was just a D-level little female. I don't know if it's a blessing from the heavens, but her Fertility has progressed by leaps and bounds.'
"Ms. Zhi Zhi, congratulations on your advancement to an Imperial S-level female!" Housekeeper Qiao led the applause.
All the Beastmen belatedly followed suit and began to clap.
"Congratulations!"
"Today's results will soon be made public, and then the entire Valoran Empire will know of your rank!"
Yu Zhizhi let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding.
She gave a small smile to the Beastmen below the stage.
Leaning on Lisa for support, she returned to the crowd. The moment she stepped down, she was surrounded by Beastmen offering their congratulations.
Except for the young lady from the Leopard Clan.
All the other Beastmen were scrambling over each other to curry favor with the Empire's new S-Class female.
Everyone knew full well.
Today, the Rabbit Clan female had yet to awaken her dual abilities. The day she did, she could easily become SS Level!
If her talent in those awakened abilities was exceptionally high, she might even have a chance to become an SSS-level female!
That was a super-rare, top-tier female the likes of which hadn't been born on the entire Beast World Planet, across all Three Great Empires combined, for over a hundred years!
Thinking this, the Beastmen grew even more frantic.
Fortunately, the guards from the K family were there, preventing Yu Zhizhi from being crushed in the pile of beasts.
The young lady from the Leopard Clan was so jealous she nearly ripped her handkerchief to shreds—
"Don't get cocky!"
She shot Yu Zhizhi a resentful glare, then turned and left.
'This isn't over!'
'No matter what, I will not hand over the position of the K family's matriarch to some rabbit!'
Escorted by the guards, Yu Zhizhi returned to her residence on the third floor of the castle. Housekeeper Qiao followed, bringing a badge with him.
"Ms. Zhi Zhi, please accept this. It is a gift prepared by the Empire for every S-Class female. It also represents your status."
"Thank you," Yu Zhizhi said as she took it.
The aqua-blue badge was exquisite. It bore the emblem of the Valoran Empire, and one could even see gently rippling waves on it.
—It was an animated badge.
"You can wear it on your person," Housekeeper Qiao explained. "This way, no matter where you go, you will receive preferential treatment. Every single citizen of the Empire, from top to bottom, has a duty to protect S-Class females."
This was completely different from the females who were classified as D-level and sent to the Female Cave.
From the moment they were rated, S-Class females became treasures of the entire Empire. If any Beastman were to accidentally offend one, they would be arrested and thrown in jail immediately!
"This is a list."
Housekeeper Qiao handed her a red booklet.
"A list?"
Yu Zhizhi opened it and saw many names recorded inside, accompanied by photographs and family introductions...
Housekeeper Qiao smiled. "Although I would very much like to keep you in the K family, according to the laws of the Empire, an S-Class female has the absolute right to choose her Beast Husbands."
"With the exception of the heirs of the Imperial Family and the five great families, any other male Beastman who is chosen must agree to the marriage."
"Furthermore, excluding the heirs of the Imperial Family and the five great families..."
"An S-Class female can have multiple Beast Husbands."
Yu Zhizhi was utterly astonished.
She had never imagined that on the Beast World Planet, a single female could have multiple males!
Of course, Housekeeper Qiao had also made it very clear.
An Imperial Prince and the heirs of the five great families could not be forcibly married by an S-Class female, let alone claimed by one in a polygamous relationship.
Housekeeper Qiao seemed to notice Yu Zhizhi's confusion. He said—
"The ranking of male Beastmen is also very clear. Top-tier male bloodlines like these can only be chosen by SS Level females, and only if all parties consent can there be a polyandrous marriage."
"As for an SSS-level female, which hasn't been seen for a century, all top-tier males in the Three Great Empires of the Beast World Planet, including the Monarch of the Empire, cannot refuse to become her Beast Husband. They must be loyal to the SSS-level female for their entire lives and abide by the Six Great Rules—"
"One, be filial to her parents. Two, produce offspring. Three, be loyal to the female wife. Four, do not be jealous, and live in harmony with the other Beast Husbands. Five, never go against the female wife's will. Six, report all long-distance travel and do not disappear without reason."
"These six rules must be obeyed. Violating even one will result in being cast aside by the female wife."
"If it's at all possible—"
Housekeeper Qiao brought the topic back to the present. "I hope Ms. Zhi Zhi will consider our Lord Locke."
Yu Zhizhi happened to have just turned to the page about the K family.
She saw Don Locke K.
The photograph on the page was identical to the man in her memories.
Those blood-red eyes... she had dreamed of them several nights in a row!
Even the name matched!
"It really is him..."
Over the past few days, whenever she heard "Lord Locke," she had assumed it was just a name with a similar pronunciation.
'So he's the heir to the K family!'
Seeing he had a chance, Housekeeper Qiao quickly added:
"Lord Locke is the male with the purest and most powerful bloodline in the K family. He is the infamous Battlefield Rakshasa, and warriors from all over the Beast Star submit to his renown!"
Lisa nodded vigorously at the side.
As the sole heir of the K family, the young ladies of other great families and even Empire Princesses all wished for a marriage alliance with Lord Locke.
However, Lord Locke's private life was very mysterious; there had never been any romantic scandals about him.
Yu Zhizhi clutched the red list and gave a polite smile.
She... had no thoughts about marriage whatsoever.
Yu Zhizhi only wanted to complete her missions, max out her level, and return to the real world.
Perhaps hearing her innermost thoughts, the system appeared.
"BEEP! Host's [Second Mission] has been generated. Please find a [Rare, Advanced] male within ten days. Species is not restricted. Successfully conceiving and giving birth to a cub will yield a large reward and points! Host, please act quickly!"
"The countdown begins!"
