Chapter 396 - 396 88 You Cant Afford It Two in One

Chapter 396: Chapter 88 You Can’t Afford It! [Two in One] Chapter 396: Chapter 88 You Can’t Afford It! [Two in One] Faced with this sudden question, the couple of the Swallowing Heaven Python King were taken aback.

What does that mean?

Your Majesty, what do you mean?

How come these are not our children? How are we not qualified?

Even if the child is young, can the racial characteristics and bloodline aura of our Swallowing Heaven Python line be faked?

Could it be that other snake species can give birth to offspring with the traits of the Swallowing Heaven Python?

“Your Majesty, these are certainly our children. Just look closely, these are specific to our Swallowing Heaven Python line’s racial features, as well as the bloodline aura connection with us. How could it be false?”

The Golden Emperor touched his chin, carefully took the little ones off him, placed them in the cradle, released a breath to calm the little ones, and repeatedly expressed himself harmless, only well-intentioned.

Having finally calmed the young, even though they were still eager, at least they stopped attacking.

He then reached into the Space Ring, offering a significant amount of high-grade food for the youngsters to scramble for.

Only then did he cast an incredibly complex look over the little ones, and back to the couple of the Swallowing Heaven Python King.

At this moment, he was really quite frustrated.

What the hell…

I’ve spent so many years striving, but couldn’t produce even one like this…

Why did the Swallowing Heaven Python couple manage to give birth to more than four hundred such superior offspring!?

If you said it was two or three, I could handle a bit of sour grape, but over four hundred… that’s so bloody outrageous!

He glanced at the six black-clad beauties next to him, a reproachful look in his eyes: Why can’t you give birth to any?

The six beauties turned their heads away in unison.

Resentment on their pretty faces: Blaming us? It’s your lack of ability, okay? Sorry to say, but look at how robust the Swallowing Heaven Python King is…

The Golden Emperor snorted in annoyance: When we get back, you all have to give birth!

In batches!

Seeing the Snake Emperor and his queen exchanging winks at this moment, and seemingly unsatisfied with something…and even a hint of tension building…

The Swallowing Heaven Python King and his wife grew increasingly apprehensive, with the previous great joy now replaced by nervous unease.

Looking at this… didn’t the Emperor have some strange intention?

Why is he holding that cradle and not giving it to us?

Could it be… could it be… that the Emperor was harbouring some fear?

Well, that’s a tough one.

Yes, with so many supremely qualified Swallowing Heaven Pythons, the lowest being King Rank, wouldn’t that potentially shake the Emperor’s rule?

And the quantity is so large, it would be normal for the Emperor to feel threatened. Oh my God, could the Emperor already be thinking about nipping this in the bud?!

Suddenly, the couple was all over the place.

The Golden Emperor touched his chin, looked at Swallowing Heaven Python King, and said, “I am considering for both of you. So many children, each and every one a fine seedling, can you two afford to raise them? This requires an enormous amount of resources. Although they are your children, they are also the future hope of the whole snake race!”

The Golden Emperor spoke earnestly, “If you don’t have enough resources and can’t afford to raise them, wouldn’t it ruin the children’s future?”

“…”

Once these words came out, all the Python Kings instinctively touched their chins, their eyes filled with profound connotations.

The Swallowing Heaven Python King quickly replied, “Your Majesty, is there such a thing as not being able to afford to raise your own child? No matter what… no matter what, I’m the ruler of a mountain and the leader of a clan. I can afford to raise a few hundred children with ease.”

“If they are ordinary offspring, I have no doubt about your couple’s wealth!”

The Golden Emperor said, “But what I mean is that each of these little ones has King Rank potential. If you want to raise this group of kids, the resources needed are not small. Can you … bear it? Don’t bite off more than you can chew… that’s inappropriate.”

“Everyone present is the leader of a clan, a king-level powerhouse. They naturally know how many resources they used in their growth till now.”

The Golden Emperor said, “378 of you, together bearing the growth consumption of these 432 King Ranks… Can you… really afford it? Don’t force it. Speak up if there are difficulties, and we solve them together.”

His hint was very clear.

Just as the Swallowing Heaven Python King was about to say’I can afford it’ confidently, he felt his sleeve being pulled.

He turned his head to look at his wife, why are you pulling my sleeve?

The queen had a full smile on her face, but there was some bitterness in the smile. She said softly, “The emperor is right. It really isn’t affordable to raise so many kids at once. The amount of resources required is indeed overwhelming! We’ve been scrimping and saving for so many years, where would we have so much resources? I am stressed to the point of going grey, oh… When the kids were missing, I was worried about finding them, and now they are back, I’m worried about not being able to raise them…”

The Python King couldn’t believe what he heard-

Who said I can’t afford it?

If I can’t afford the best, can’t I afford the average?

Besides, these are my own children. Can I say I can’t raise them?

I’ll be damned if that’s not humiliating!

I’m the ruler of a mountain, the leader of a race, I can’t raise my own children? If that’s the case, why did I give birth to them? If I can give birth to them, I can certainly raise them!
