Then she turned and looked at him with a bright smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not angry. In fact, I should be congratulating you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulating me?\" The moment Xarion heard those words, his entire body tensed. \"What are you congratulating me for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What possible reason could there be to congratulate him? For some reason, it didn’t sound like good news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory took his hand and gently placed it against her stomach. \"I’m congratulating you on becoming a father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion: \"...Female Master... what did you just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind reeled. Maybe his unstable spiritual energy was acting up again—maybe his hearing had malfunctioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was becoming a father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rory didn’t give him a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke slowly and clearly, enunciating every word. \"I said—congratulations. You’re going to be a father. The baby in my belly... is yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finished speaking, Rory looked at him with a playful smile. \"Xarion, are you happy? Excited?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion’s world collapsed. The baby inside the Female Master... was actually his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master... you—you’re joking, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of joke wasn’t funny at all. Xarion panicked. He released Rory immediately and dropped to his knees in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Female Master, believe me. It can’t be me. It really can’t be me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could it possibly be him? Out of everyone, he was the least likely candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching him deny it so desperately, Rory didn’t know whether to be angry... or simply feel sorry for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want to believe it either,\" she said helplessly. \"But the truth is the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen brought an artifact from the Water Domain that can identify the father of a child. Nix and Jasper already tested it. And it proved the baby isn’t theirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What artifact?\" Xarion asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never heard of such an object existing in the Water Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory took out the artifact Wen had brought—the one meant to identify the father of a child—and placed it in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s this. Wen said that if I place my hair and the hair of my mates on it, the strand that entwines with mine will reveal the father of the baby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xarion heard that, he immediately plucked a strand of his own hair and placed it on the mirror-like surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he stared at Rory expectantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his reaction, Rory’s lips twitched slightly. \"What are you implying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones who had formally bonded with her were Xarion, Nix, and Jasper. And Nix and Jasper had already been ruled out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left only Xarion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he doubting her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Rory had misunderstood, Xarion hurried to explain. \"Female Master, it’s not that I don’t believe you. I just don’t trust the thing Wen brought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he quickly raised a vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I swear to the Beast God—if I’m doubting the Female Master, may divine punishment fall upon me. I’m not doubting you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory knew the truth. Xarion simply didn’t want a child. That was why he refused to believe the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She plucked a strand of her own hair and placed it on the mirror as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you don’t believe it, let’s test it again,\" she said calmly. \"If it proves the baby really is yours—what will you do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion looked at the two strands of hair lying side by side on the mirror’s surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips pressed together. \"If it really is my cub... then when it’s born, I’ll send it to the Snow Domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to raise a cub himself, he might as well die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wish.\" Rory wasn’t about to abandon her own child in the distant Snow Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at him and warned, \"If it really is your baby, you’ll raise it properly—even if you have to cry while doing it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion sighed, \"...Female Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at her pitifully, but Rory ignored him. Her gaze remained fixed on the mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly a minute passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two strands of hair still lay exactly where they had been placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t moved at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion frowned slightly, staring at the mirror. \"Female Master... did Wen say how long it’s supposed to take for the hairs to intertwine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory didn’t answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full minute... Seeing that the two strands of hair still hadn’t entwined, Rory froze completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\" Rory stared at the mirror in disbelief. Her strand of hair and Xarion’s still hadn’t intertwined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only two explanations for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either the artifact Wen had brought wasn’t accurate... Or the baby in her belly... truly wasn’t Xarion’s either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it wasn’t the second option... then whose child was it? Was it supposed to have appeared in her stomach by itself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory pressed her fingers against her temples, trying to steady her thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xarion, go bring Wen upstairs,\" she said finally. \"And make sure you avoid Cotton Candy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion glanced once more at the two unmoving strands of hair on the mirror, then nodded and strode out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Wen was brought upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you called for me so urgently. What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been outside by the artificial lake, arranging his new living space, when Xarion suddenly appeared, saying nothing and simply hauling him upstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he stood before Rory, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory held up the mirror so he could see it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These are my hair and Xarion’s,\" she explained. \"But they still haven’t intertwined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wen stared at the two strands lying motionless on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he was just as stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Nix had told him that Rory was formally bonded only to Nix, Jasper, and Xarion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child wasn’t Nix’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t Jasper’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now it wasn’t Xarion’s either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then whose child could it possibly be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion looked at Wen, his half-lidded eyes carrying a lazy tone that barely concealed the danger beneath it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wen... could that broken thing you brought be inaccurate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible.\" Wen shook his head immediately. \"This artifact exists only among the merfolk and the dragon clans. It has never made a mistake. There’s no way it’s inaccurate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rory thought for a moment. \"Could it be that it only works for people from the Water Domain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the artifact originated there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Wen replied firmly. \"Many outsiders have used it in the Water Domain before. It has never failed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hesitated slightly before continuing, speaking cautiously. \"Master... then there is only one possibility left. The child in your belly... doesn’t belong to any of those three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible!\" Rory shook her head immediately. \"I’ve only bonded with them. And the only beast marks on my body belong to those three and Vincent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There can’t possibly be anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion suddenly spoke. \"Could Nix have been right after all...?\" His voice turned colder. \"What if it really is that rabbit’s?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dangerous killing intent flickered in his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don’t have his beast mark,\" Rory said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still found it impossible to believe the child could belong to Cotton Candy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xarion’s eyes darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he truly is a beastman—and capable of hiding his identity well enough that even I couldn’t detect it... Then perhaps he also has a way to hide the beast mark on the Female Master’s body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1327,"2026-06-05T18:17:47.496Z",1,"novelbin.me","94cd0a95f2601f617e23bff1973901def943130a6fd8a7b3e658d50603543175",null,"interstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-chapter-199",315,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finterstellar-beast-world-all-my-husbands-are-pow-cover.jpg"]
