Lin Wan stood inside the dim light of the storage room, her mind struggling to process the sudden information. The cool air always provided her with structure, but now the rows of steel shelving felt distant.

"Weiwei," Lin Wan demanded, her mental voice sharp. "Before we discuss the migration layout, I need an explanation for the weird energy changes I am seeing in Long Zhan and Qin Mo. The standard stripe ranking system doesn’t match what their cores are doing anymore."

[Ah, I figured you would ask that,] Weiwei replied.

With a soft, melodic chime, a sleek holographic display materialized directly inside Lin Wan’s mind. Translucent blue text and complex charts began to spin, mapping out distinct energetic frequencies.

[Listen carefully, host,] Weiwei’s voice echoed, carrying an instructive tone. [The simple stripe ranking of this lower realm is quite useless, as even other lower worlds can squash the beastwarriors here without breaking a sweat. It is a localized, primitive measurement system.]

Lin Wan watched the complex blue charts spin, the foreign symbols and shifting energy bars blurring together. She pinched the bridge of her nose, a rare flash of irritation crossing her calm face. "I don’t understand, Weiwei. You are confusing me."

[I know it’s confusing, that’s why you should let me explain every detail for you,] Weiwei chuckled softly, slowing down the spinning holographic charts until six distinct, glowing tiers appeared in a vertical ladder. [The true universe operates on six grand stages: Body Tempering, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Soul Manifestation, Nascent Soul, and the legendary God Realm. Currently, your snake is at the absolute perfection of Body Tempering, your dragon beasthusband power has finally stabilized at the Foundation level, but it still isn’t enough.]

Lin Wan’s brow furrowed slightly. "What do you mean by it’s still not enough?"

[Host, what I can tell you is you need powerful beasthusbands, because what is coming for you and your cubs, even for the baby you’re carrying now]

Lin Wan’s entire body went rigid. Her breath caught in her throat, her hands dropping to her sides as her mind completely blanked out for a fraction of a second. She stared into the darkness of the inventory room, her voice trembling just an inch in her mind.

"B... Baby?"

[Yes baby, host is pregnant, although it’s in the early stages, still too early to tell who’s child it is, but host you wouldn’t want to experience the same thing you experienced last time.]

Lin Wan’s hand instinctively moved down, her palm resting flat against her still-completely-flat stomach. The memory of her first pregnancy, the constant threat of the capital nobility, the schemes of Su Mei, and the terrifying moment Wang had descended to snatch her away, flashed through her mind like a cold dagger. Her expression instantly hardened into solid ice.

"Yeah, I don’t want that," Lin Wan whispered fiercely, her jaw tightening. "But I think the heavenly Dao likes my face."

[Yeah it likes your face,] Weiwei let out a sharp, cynical electronic snort. [but it still doesn’t stop it from scheming against you to peel off your face and steal your children’s primordial luck!]

"Weiwei!! Don’t scare me," Lin Wan snapped internally, her heart rate rising slightly at the blunt, terrifying description.

[I’m not scaring you, it’s the truth,] Weiwei insisted, her digital voice urgent. [host needs to leave quickly, the husbands need to stimulate their bloodline too, so far based on what statistics I have, it’s only the first beasthusband that has stimulated his bloodline, I can’t tell how, but it’s better to be prepared for the future. That white leopard king in the Upper Realm has reached the Nascent Soul stage. Out of everyone in the upper heavens, there are only three monsters at that level. The competition out there is terrifying.]

Lin Wan let out a slow, heavy breath, her mind racing as she processed the sheer weight of the system’s demands. "I need to find beasthusbands?"

[Yes, quickly,] Weiwei stated without a single shred of hesitation. [You need to expand the harem as we move through the Middle Realm. More powerful bloodlines mean more protective layers for the children and more evolutionary energy for your own body.]

Lin Wan turned around, leaning her back against the shelving, a sudden wave of emotional exhaustion washing over her features. She looked down at her hands, her voice carrying a rare, quiet vulnerability. "But... I really don’t have so much space in my heart to accommodate them all, Weiwei. Qin Mo and Long Zhan... they already take up so much."

[Oh, host, you’re looking at this through a modern human lens,] Weiwei sighed, her tone softening into a deeply comforting, peer-like reassurance. [You don’t need to love them all, as long as you find them compatible, and give them a child, it’s in the beastmales bloodline to love their female, although they won’t be like Qin Mo and Long Zhan, but I trust you host, you’ll definitely charm them, moreover with you giving them a child, and your system being different from the females of the beastworld, I’m sure you’ll find quality rare gems, if worse comes to worse, we drug them and extract their sperms....]

"Weiwei!!" Lin Wan gasped internally, her face flushing with a mix of shock and utter disbelief at her system’s ruthless modern efficiency.

[What?!] Weiwei retorted instantly, sounding completely defensive and entirely unbothered by the moral gray area. [Host shouldn’t worry about doing anything bad, Weiwei will handle it for host, and host shouldn’t make Weiwei drug host too, so host should get rid of your sentiments too. We have a world to save, babies to protect, and a cosmic ladder to climb. Now, let’s start packing!]

Lin Wan took a long moment to steady her breathing, her fingers tightening around the edge of the smooth metal shelf. The concept of using modern clinical extraction methods on powerful high-realm beastmen sounded completely absurd, yet knowing Weiwei, the system layout would have everything fully prepared in the laboratory tab.

"Let’s put the extraction protocols aside for now," Lin Wan said, her mental voice returning to its usual cool, logical frequency. "If the baby is in the early stages, the energetic shift during the migration could affect the pregnancy. Is the current system transport shield strong enough to protect a developing fetus from the spatial friction?"

[Of course it is,] Weiwei huffed, her digital interface flashing a bright green validation symbol. [Did you think my high-dimensional upgrade was just for show? The v3.0 transport barrier has a built-in amniotic stabilization field. It mimics the exact gravity of your modern apartment, so the baby won’t feel a single bump. However, you will need to consume higher calories. Growing a hybrid core baby while crossing a regional boundary takes a lot of nutritional stamina.]

"I have enough modern glucose packs and protein supplements stored in the primary kitchen inventory," Lin Wan noted, already organizing the evacuation sequence in her head. "But what about Qin Mo and Long Zhan? If they find out about the pregnancy before we cross the boundary, their territorial instincts will make them completely unmanageable. Long Zhan is already tracking every shift in the wind, and Qin Mo is barely controlling his frost energy."

[Then don’t tell them yet,] Weiwei advised pragmatically. [Let them think the upcoming stress is just from the market expansion and the spatial thinning. If those two alphas find out there is a new seed growing inside you, they will lock you inside the master bedroom and refuse to let you take a single step toward the transport array. We need them focused on fighting the guards, not hovering over your stomach like anxious mother hens.]

Lin Wan agreed silently. She adjusted her silk robe, concealing her lower abdomen completely. She knew her body, and she knew her husbands.

The balance inside the harem was stable for now, but a new pregnancy combined with a completely new cultivation realm would push their protective instincts to a dangerous extreme.

"Alright," Lin Wan said, her dark eyes flashing with absolute determination as she reached for the main inventory crate. "We do this your way, Weiwei. Let’s begin the breakdown of the lower warehouse and prepare to leave the lower world behind."

[Exactly,] Weiwei agreed, her tone shifting into an efficient, task-oriented cadence. [The sooner we clear out the storage racks, the better. I am already updating the system store layout with high-efficiency spatial compression crates. You can dump an entire row of modern steel shelving into a single box without messing up your inventory tracking. It saves time, and it keeps your husbands from asking why the kitchen is suddenly shrinking before their eyes.]

Lin Wan stepped toward the largest crate at the back of the room, her boots clicking softly against the floor tiles. "And what about the triplets? If they wake up mid-transit and find the entire estate packed away into The space, they will panic."

[Don’t worry about the fluffballs,] Weiwei replied with a digital snort. [I’ve pre-ordered three high-grade modern pet carriers with built-in sleep arrays from the system store. The moment we start the transport sequence, the cubs will fall into a perfectly safe, cozy nap. They will wake up on the other side thinking they just had a long afternoon rest in their velvet playpen.]

"Good," Lin Wan murmured, her expression settling into a cool, impenetrable mask as she lifted the first inventory ledger. "Let’s get to work."
