Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Return to Yunmeng Island, Captured!
“Senior Brother, the soul stone shows the location right here, yet nothing has been left behind.”
A round-faced youth said to a man in a blue Taoist robe.
“Has Umeko Tsuki made any enemies recently?”
“Nope, she hasn’t left the sect at all.”
“Then something must have entered the Cultivation Spirit Garden, let’s head back to the Sect.”
…
Sally hadn’t gone far when she saw those two people on the System Map.
The round-faced youth was wearing a garment embroidered with a plum blossom, signifying he was a disciple of Plum Academy. The other had cloud and sword patterns on the collar – a symbol of an inner-sect true disciple from Tianmen Sect.
Manman discussed with the group of monkeys for a while before saying to Sally, “Mom, they want to trade Transforming Spirit Pills for liquor.”
“What’s a Transforming Spirit Pill?” Sally asked.
Manman looked down at her little paws and said, “Huh?”
“What’s the matter?” Seeing Manman looking at her own little ‘feet’, Sally laughed, “Did you lose something?”
“There were Transforming Spirit Pills inside the Fengxi Bracelet, but I gave it to little sister Xiaoqi,” Manman replied.
“Why did you give it to her? That’s your clan’s heirloom token,” Sally said in surprise. She had noticed it before and thought that Ming Linyuan had removed it fearing she would lose it in her mischief, not realizing she had given it away.
“Xiaoqi said it smelled really good.”
“…” That girl’s Azure Pupil was not ordinary. She must have recognized the Fengxi Bracelet as something valuable.
“Ask for it back later, you can give away other things, but not the Fengxi Bracelet,” Sally instructed Manman, then added, “Never mind, I’ll speak to Zi Qi about it and let him handle it.”
“No, no, Grandma said she would give me an even better one,” Manman protested.
“… Well, Mom will decide on that, let’s go trade for some monkey liquor first,” Sally said as she retrieved a bottle of elixir from the System Space and found the monkey leader.
“This is a Clear Mind Pill, it can enable a Mortal Beast to awaken intelligence and have the chance to evolve into a Beastman, is that alright?”
The monkey leader scratched his head in contemplation before finally accepting the Clear Mind Pill.
Sally looked at the whole pool of liquor and took out a Treasure Gourd, handing it to the monkey leader to fill for her.
The monkey leader was surprisingly generous, giving her half of the liquor.
But he requested that Sally give him another Treasure Gourd.
Sally gave him ten, as these were the Holy War Relics she had found, and among them, spatial-type treasures were what she had collected the most.
The monkey leader was overjoyed and filled another half with monkey liquor for her right away.
Sally was amused and did not demur. They could brew monkey liquor at any time, but she might not always come across it.
“Manman, want to go meet someone with Mom?”
“Burp~” Manman, dizzy from drinking monkey liquor and belching, asked, “Who?”
“A kind uncle who really likes children,” Sally replied with a smile, wondering whether Zhu Sanlang was still angry.
[Xiaomei, let’s go back to Yunmeng Island to have the baby.]
She had periods of feigned death when giving birth. Now, without anyone else’s protection, she must be in a very safe place.
If those two hadn’t shown up here, it wouldn’t have mattered.
It’s best to head back to Yunmeng Island first.
…
By a stroke of luck, as soon as Sally opened her eyes, she was back by the pond where she first arrived at Yunmeng Island.
Looking at the fish and shrimp inside, many were missing – all eaten by her.
“Chirp chirp~ Mom, Manman loves it here the most.” Manman flew around joyfully as soon as she was released from the space.
The place was abundant with heavenly treasures, which only hinted at the richness of the spiritual energy.
Though Manman didn’t understand, she instinctively liked this place; it could help her grow faster.
Sally smiled and said, “In a while, an uncle named Zhu Sanlang will come; remember to be polite, okay?”
“I understand, Mom.” Manman replied as she flew towards the depths of the forest.
“…” Well, let it be, with such a vast forest, I’ll just let her have her fun for now.
Waves of pain came crashing.
Sally could no longer endure it, she was about to teleport back to the mountain to give birth.
But someone caught her by the shoulder from behind… and then, a voice gritting teeth in anger spoke, “You still know how to come back!”
All his anger had already dissipated.
Though he hated to admit it, after peeling away all his thoughts about her, all that remained was longing—he wanted her!
Sally turned around, her face blooming with a dazzling smile, “I’m going to give birth!”
The expression on Zhu Sanlang’s face instantly froze, his eyes locked onto her belly!
This woman, coming back only to bring a child with her?
Another sharp pain struck, and Sally’s legs gave way, collapsing into Zhu Sanlang’s arms, “Help, help me deliver the baby, Sanlang~”
Zhu Sanlang, both anxious and exasperated, carried her back to the mountain.
[Congratulations Host on giving birth to your eleventh offspring, gender (male), beast form (Rat Clan), talents (Spirit Rank Secret Technique Fire Element, Golden Marrow Pill Awareness awakening Spirit Rank Earth Element Secret Technique.) Father Beast (Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird), Reward (points 1000000.) Birth Gift Pack one, Maternal Talent Scroll one.]
[This time the talents are quite ordinary. Wait, the beast form is the Rat Clan?]
[Yes. The host’s talents are already higher than the Father Beast, hence the offspring has a major probability of inheriting the maternal attributes.]
[Little mouse… Will Ming Linyuan like it?]
[Since it’s born from an egg, it requires the Father Beast to incubate. The host can first send it back for incubation and observe. If the Father Beast mistreats the young, it can be summoned back at any time.]
[Okay.]
Sally woke up from her feigned death.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Manman guarding an egg with red and yellow hues, radiating waves of flaming heat, glaring at Zhu Sanlang.
“You! Stay away from my brother!” Manman, protecting the egg, spat out a True Fire Ball.
Zhu Sanlang caught the True Fire Ball with ease, kneaded it into a small fire bead, and with a gentle flick, sent the bead towards the main peak outside the window.
The fire bead passed through the mountain and finally fell into the sea, causing a huge wave to splash.
Manman was stunned!
“That’s my fire ball!?”
“Want to learn?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Give me the egg.”
“No way, that’s my real brother.” Matters of principle cannot be compromised.
Zhu Sanlang: “…”
After eating a Rejuvenation Pill, Sally quickly recovered and said with a smile, “Manman, give the brother to me. I’ll send him back to your Dad, and it’s also time I told him about your whereabouts.”
“Oh.” Manman handed over the egg to Sally.
Sally touched the warm egg, which could completely serve as a hand warmer in winter.
She gently kissed it and passed it to Zhu Sanlang, “Take a look.”
Zhu Sanlang took it without hesitation, left a mark on the egg which quickly faded out of sight, and handed it back to Sally, “Send it away!”
His tone indeed sounded as though he was gritting his teeth.
Sally chuckled, “I’ll bear a litter for you, your own children are sweeter.”
Zhu Sanlang preferred out of sight, out of mind, and turned to leave.
Sally caressed the egg for a long time, then tied a prepared Little Storage Bag around it and stored it in the System Space.
Soon after, she too vanished from the System Space.
