Chapter 199: Chapter 198: Coming to Snatch the Husband?
Sally turned her head to look at him, and giggled, “Or should I check out your beast form?”
Zhu Sanlang awkwardly shifted his gaze away, “You’ll get to see it.”
The Ghost Chariot Phoenix Bird had obliterated the lightning pillar before it vanished into thin air.
And that True Feather also transformed into shards of spirit light and dissipated.
Manman gazed at the fading spirit light, her eyes filled with reluctance to let go.
The calamitous clouds in the sky also quickly vanished, replaced by colorful auspicious clouds above Manman’s head, casting down a beam of spirit light, enveloping Manman.
Manman’s body was wrapped in spirit light… until all of the spirit light merged into her body, and only then did the auspicious clouds in the sky begin to disperse.
Even though Sally had never seen it before, she knew that Manman had entered the Spirit Rank, telling Zhu Sanlang, “I’m full.”
She then teleported to Manman’s side, looking into her eyes emitting spirit light, and the beautifully upturned eyeliner, “Congratulations, my Manman, for entering the Spirit Rank.”
“But, Mom, the feather Daddy gave me is gone.” Manman threw herself into Sally’s arms, deeply saddened.
Sally hugged her and soothed in a gentle voice, “If your dad knew that it was his True Feather that protected you from the heavenly tribulation, he would definitely be overjoyed.”
“Mm.”
“Mom asks you, if someone bullied you, would you use the True Feather Daddy gave you to protect yourself?”
“That depends if I can remember it at the time. I only found Daddy’s feather last night when I was sorting through my Storage Bag.”
“…” Thankfully, she thought of sorting it out last night. But this carelessness, who does she take after?
“Mom, Uncle, I want to go into seclusion to consolidate my realm and the heritage of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan, which also awakened a part of me just now.”
“Alright, do you want to return to the space?” Sally asked, which would allow Xiaomei to help her look into it. Xiaomei was more familiar with the heritage of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan.
“Mm-hmm.” Manman nodded.
Sally brought her into the space.
“Let’s go back then, I’ll make you something to eat,” Zhu Sanlang said to Sally.
“Okay,” Sally nodded.
Zhu Sanlang, holding her, returned to Yunmeng Island.
But on the island, someone was already there.
A woman clad in a fairy-like dress with flowing sleeves, her jet-black hair partially pinned up with a wooden clasp while the rest cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Chu Wanwan looked at Zhu Sanlang, completely ignoring Sally.
“Sanlang, come back with me,” her voice was as beautiful as the music of the heavens, but it also carried an air of undeniable authority.
Zhu Sanlang’s body instantly stiffened, and his arm, which had been holding Sally, slowly let go, “Senior Sister… I’ve found…”
“Silence! A descendant of a Divine Beast, cavorting with a Rat Demon, do you not fear being ridiculed by the world?” Chu Wanwan cut him off before he could finish!
“I treasure her!” Zhu Sanlang blurted out.
The color drained from Chu Wanwan’s face, “What did you say?”
Zhu Sanlang, looking at her pallor, his eyes filled with compassion, “Senior Sister, I treasure her. And she is already carrying my child!”
“Impossible!” A trace of bright red blood suddenly seeped from the corner of Chu Wanwan’s mouth, “Sanlang, say it again!”
Witnessing this scene, Sally secretly communicated to Xiaomei: [Quite a formidable rival! What do you say, should I pretend to suffer a miscarriage, to see whom Zhu Sanlang chooses?]
[Don’t, the result will only bring shame on yourself.] Xiaomei replied without mincing words: [How can a few months of passion compare to centuries of companionship and millennia of longing?]
“Sanlang, aren’t you going to introduce me to your senior sister?” Sally took the initiative to hook her arm into Zhu Sanlang’s, even leaning into him.
Chu Wanwan’s face turned even paler as she stared intently at Sally holding Zhu Sanlang’s hand.
Zhu Sanlang did not withdraw his arm and even continued to affirm his commitment, “I want to spend the rest of my life with Yanyan.”
“Well said!” Sally applauded.
“Didn’t the host say earlier that you wanted to go with the flow and leave?” Xiaomei asked.
“How was I to know he would come this early? I thought he would at least wait until the late stages of pregnancy, or better yet, after the child was born. It’s only been three or four months, how can I leave?” Sally was still quite pragmatic, and the baby in her womb was extremely demanding. If she relied only on the few celestial treasures she had collected, she would soon have no choice but to eat dirt.
Therefore, she couldn’t leave Zhu Sanlang now, no matter what.
Even if someone had to leave, it would be him; she had to keep this Yunmeng Island for herself.
Although she wasn’t sure if the island would suffice for three years, one year was definitely not a problem.
“Sanlang, my old injury has recurred, and I need to return to the sect to recuperate. Can you send me back?” Chu Wanwan said weakly.
Hearing her mention her old injury, a complex and tangled look flashed in Zhu Sanlang’s eyes.
Sally covertly signaled to him, don’t leave!
But Zhu Sanlang still pulled his arm away from Sally’s grasp, “Yanyan, wait for me a moment. I’ll send the senior sister back and return immediately.”
Fool! Sally pulled him behind her. Couldn’t he see through such a petty trick? And she had thought him clever before this.
“Senior sister, this Teleportation Array can take you directly back to your sect, why make him take an extra trip?” Sally bluntly stated.
Chu Wanwan frowned, clearly irritated by Sally. How was it Sally’s place to comment on her relationship with Zhu Sanlang? Even if Sally was pregnant, it was only a mongrel.
“Sanlang? What do you say?”
Zhu Sanlang saw the blood at her mouth and handed her a clean handkerchief, “Senior sister, let me take you back.”
Chu Wanwan accepted the handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, saying to Sally, “This old injury was sustained while saving Sanlang. Even if I can never reach the Immortal Realm in this life, as long as Sanlang is well, I’m content.”
Sally suddenly understood.
Looking at Zhu Sanlang, she felt pity… This was a debt owed by saving a life, binding him tight; if he disregarded it, it would be ingratitude and betrayal.
But if he agreed to go, how would he deal with her and the child then?
“Xiaomei, do you think Yunmeng Island will suffice to raise the child?”
“It will suffice, the host has only considered the surface of the island; there’s actually another world beneath it.”
“In that case, let him go.”
Sally took two steps back, her hands clasped behind her, and gave Zhu Sanlang her most beautiful smile, “One should return a simple act of kindness with a spring of gratitude, let alone a life-saving grace. Sanlang, go and send the senior sister.”
Chu Wanwan was taken aback by Sally’s sudden change of attitude, but naturally, it was better if she understood her place.
Zhu Sanlang looked at her with full shame, “Yanyan, just eat something casually, and when I come back, I’ll cook for both of you.”
“Okay.” She thought, if you can make it back, that is.
Sally waved them off and watched as they disappeared in the Teleportation Array, the smile on her face gradually fading away.
Only a sigh, carried away by the wind, remained, “So be it Xiaomei, let’s take care of the pregnancy ourselves.”
“The host needs to eat.”
“Alright, how’s Manman? Her tribulation didn’t hurt her, did it?”
“Manman is fine. She has awakened her Bloodline Inheritance and needs to go into seclusion for a while. It could be for one to two months, or it could be one to two years.”
“Ah? What if she gets hungry?”
“At the Spirit Rank, one can go without eating. If the host wasn’t pregnant, your appetite would be low as well.”
