Chapter 187: Chapter 186: This Beast God Can’t Be Real, Right?
Although small, Douya was clever and had gone out to buy some drinks and dishes to bring back.
The three of them drank and made idle conversation while waiting for daylight to leave the city.
Sally dug another hole to sleep in and nurture her pregnancy.
In the middle of the night, Sally was awakened by Xiaomei, “Host, there’s a drama unfolding.”
Groggy with sleep, Sally asked, “What drama?”
“Humans die for wealth, as birds perish for food,” Xiaomei quoted in a pretentious tone.
Sally then summoned the System Map, turned over, ready to take a brief look before returning to sleep.
In the derelict room, Douya’s hand moved swiftly, cleanly slicing the throat of the second brother!
Blood sprayed out, splattering Douya’s face.
The small, gaunt face that looked underdeveloped was now fierce, resembling a demonic asura; behind him lay the corpse of the eldest brother with eyes wide open in death.
“Dad, Mom, your son has avenged you!” Douya knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the heaven and earth.
After finishing his kowtows, Douya dragged the bodies of the two brothers away.
Where to? Sally could guess, the residence of Princess Nan Xu.
“Such a ruthless person!” Sally couldn’t help but express her admiration.
“Yes,” Xiaomei said to Sally, “Manman is awake.”
Sally completely lost her sleepiness and took Manman out of the System Space.
The little one had two soft, floppy antenna-like hairs on her head, and yawned behind her chubby wings. Upon recognizing Sally in front of her, the two antennas stood upright, and the next instant she was hugging Sally’s beastly body.
“Mom, Mom, Manman missed you so much!”
Listening to her daughter’s innocent and sweet childish voice, Sally breathed a sigh of relief; it was right to block the memories. Otherwise, her lively and adorable daughter might have been lost to her.
“My dear~ Mom also missed Manman, so I summoned you to keep me company.”
Manman clung to Sally, her little wings not letting go, “Dad missed Mom too, he’s always drinking and holding onto the Storage Bag Mom gave him.”
“Ah… well, that’s nothing interesting.” Carrying Manman, Sally emerged from the Rat Hole and teleported to a forest outside the Imperial Capital City.
After transforming into a human shape, holding Manman in her arms, Sally touched the antenna-like hairs on her head, “When did these turn into two?”
“Grandpa helped me do that,” Manman flapped her wings and flew up; she liked the forest, circling around the big trees, “He also sealed my Dark Arcane Arts, saying I shouldn’t use that Secret Technique in Beast World. Why can’t I use it?”
“Because the people of Beast World all fear the power of darkness, and Manman’s Dark Arcane Arts are also Rule Arcane Arts, they are very powerful. Since you’re still little, Grandpa doesn’t want you to use them. He must be worried you might be harmed by people who fear the darkness. Grandpa and the others definitely have your best interests at heart.”
Sally took out a luxurious motorhome and pasted a Defensive Illusionary Array Talisman on the vehicle. Only when she had assured a ten-meter radius around was covered by the illusionary array did she comfortably rest inside with her daughter.
Manman found everything inside the car curious, flying about, pecking here, tapping there.
Sally made a sumptuous meal for her, including a variety of Spiritual Material fruits.
Manman ate happily, her belly round and full, and even took a fragrant bubble bath with Sally.
Finally, lying on the soft big bed, she listened to Sally tell a bedtime story and quickly succumbed to sleep.
Before falling asleep, her little claws clung to Sally’s nightgown, fearing she would leave again.
Sally’s slender fingertips played with the antenna-like hair on Manman’s head.
“Xiaomei, I don’t want to send Manman back anymore.”
“If the host wants to raise her herself, you can just keep her in the space. Xiaomei can teach her the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan’s inherited Secret Techniques.”
“Hmm, this child’s fate may not have started well; it’s more reliable if she stays with me, her mother. Later, I’ll just send the younger one back to Ming Linyuan.”
The little cub, only a year old, had somehow died twice, which was simply unbelievable. Her grandfather was the Demon Emperor of the Dark Continent, and her grandmother’s family also wielded power and influence in Beast World, being one of the dominant lords, yet things had turned out this way.
It must have been because her life was too fragile, or perhaps, she would be better off being raised under my care for a while.
Xiaomei didn’t object, “If the little one is sent back, she might still not be safe, right?”
Sally, “Let’s think on the bright side.”
Manman fell asleep and ended up lying on her back, occasionally murmuring in her sleep with her tiny mouth, utterly adorable.
The more Sally looked at her, the more she adored her. Then she glanced at the huge bed and said, “Xiaomei, hurry and develop the function to summon cubs. Look at my bed, it has enough space for all the children to sleep.”
“Development is in full force, but it requires evolution points for support. The host should give birth to more offspring with high talents.”
“Hmm, Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi’s full moon celebrations are over, right? Do you have the video? Show me their Inherit Wing Ceremony.”
“It will cost points.”
“Debts are debts, show me first. How are those two kids doing at Frans’?”
“Very well! Frans is very good at taking care of offspring.”
Sally played the video of Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi’s full moon celebration.
Streets filled with roses, with citizens of the Holy City dressed in bright clothes on both sides, kneeling and praying on the ground, hands clasped together, showing utmost devotion.
And in the sky, under the midday sun, Frans, in his angelic form, was holding the two children and standing on a holy staircase condensed with the power of angels, receiving the baptism of the Beast God.
In the sky, a huge and awe-inspiring humanoid phantom appears, its eyes shining like two rays of light that first fell upon Xiaojiu.
Gradually, a shadow of ten wings appeared behind Xiaojiu.
Upon the appearance of this shadow, Frans was first stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he carefully counted the number of light wings over and over.
Only when he confirmed there were ten did he, with tears in his eyes, say, “Thank you, Yanyan.”
At this point, Sally paused the video, “Xiaomei, this Beast God can’t be real, can it?”
“It is real. But inviting the real Beast God is not an easy task. Frans must have paid some irreversible price.”
“…Why bother.”
The video continued.
Frans tore off one of the sturdiest primary feathers from his wings and, using the feather, drew a line over Xiaojiu’s back where the imprint of the light wings was, slicing through his delicate skin, and gold-red blood surfaced from the wound.
“Son, hang in there,” Frans’s hands trembled slightly, but he had to be faster.
Ethan stood in the air, safeguarding the three of them solemnly as he watched this scene unfold.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him, dressed in a white angelic robe, his face indistinct.
Ethan glanced at Luo Chuan, “Didn’t we say you shouldn’t come over?”
“To witness the full moon ceremony of a future Holy Monarch is an honor,” Luo Chuan looked at the tense Frans, “Does he need help or should I assist him?”
“He would surely kill you.”
“…”
A pair of tiny Angel’s Wings gradually unfolded behind Xiaojiu, while pairs of huge Light Wings appeared behind him, exceptionally magnificent and sacred.
Xiaojiu began to fly upwards, getting closer and closer to the Beast God’s Phantom.
Finally, he stopped in front of the Beast God’s Phantom.
The Beast God raised a finger, placing it on his brow.
