Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Yunmeng Island Under Scrutiny
Yunmeng Island migrated overnight, leaving its previous waters.
Sally looked out to see an island not far away with several plumes of cooking smoke rising from it.
“Sanlang, do you know what island that is? Can we go take a look?”
“That island is inhabited by a group of human pirates.”
“What? Have we arrived at the Human Continent?”
“Yes, we’re quite close to the Humans’ Yunshan Continent.”
“Yunshan Continent… what a coincidence,” said Sally with a smile.
“How so?”
“Remember when I left Yunmeng Island before? I came to this very Yunshan Continent. I first arrived in the Mortal World, then crossed the Heavenly Dao Barrier and reached the Dao Realm. But I was about to give birth at the time, so I went back to Yunmeng Island.”
Zhu Sanlang glanced down at her waist, now showing signs of pregnancy, his face full of anticipation, “Do you still want to take a look then?”
Sally shook her head, “Better not. When Manman and I went there last time, the entire continent was in a state of chaos. If nothing goes wrong, they’re probably in the midst of a power struggle now.”
Zhu Sanlang thought for a moment, his gaze returning to focus on Sally’s belly, “Would you like to earn some merit for the child?”
Sally looked surprised, “Merit?” n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Zhu Sanlang said, “During times of war, evil spirits often wreak havoc. Expelling these spirits can bring merit.”
“Oh?” Sally’s eyes lit up.
“Xiaomei, is merit useful for the fetus?”
“That’s the Human Clan’s merit. You’re carrying a child of the Beast Clan, so it’s just icing on the cake. If it were a human fetus, it would be incredibly beneficial. However, you might go see if Fen Jue has become the Human Emperor. If he has, you could consider having a Human Emperor’s heir in your next pregnancy.”
“…You’ve planned this all along, haven’t you? Yunmeng Island’s move to these waters—was it your behind-the-scenes manipulation?”
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from the host,” Xiaomei said coyly.
Zhu Sanlang had destroyed the Teleportation Array on Yunmeng Island, so he had to build a new one; otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to return after leaving.
Sally watched him inscribe the Teleportation Array on the platform; the intricate web of the array could not suffer a single mistake.
“You’re so amazing, Sanlang.”
“Want to learn it?”
“Yeah, I do.” As she spoke, she pulled the still-sleepy Manman out from the space, “Get up, it’s time for class. Uncle Sanlang is teaching you how to draw the Teleportation Array.”
“Huh?” Manman nodded drowsily, “Teleportation Array?”
In the end, Sally did not completely understand it, but Manman learned how.
She even drew two small Teleportation Arrays on the ground. She would enter one and emerge from the other, immensely enjoying herself.
“Manman is very smart,” Zhu Sanlang said with a smile.
Sally nodded, “Yes, she’s my daughter after all. And the one I’m carrying now will be even smarter, just like you.”
Zhu Sanlang embraced her rounded waist, “Every day, I feel like I’m dreaming.”
“Hmm?”
“I never thought I’d have children of my own one day.”
“How could you not? You still have your Senior Sister and Junior Sister; they all want to have children for you.”
Especially that Junior Sister, she truly wanted to kill her!
If someone with malicious intent could show up at your doorstep at any time, it’s a definite threat.
There’s an old saying, ‘A thief can’t be on guard for a thousand days,’ because eventually, you can’t guard against the inevitable, and when irreparable damage is done, regret will be too late.
If she ever dared to lay a finger on her that day, Xiaomei would surely kill her.
Unfortunately, Zhu Sanlang was still too soft-hearted and let them go.
“Sanlang, do you regret leaving your own sect for me, and missing out on other destined encounters?”
“I regret not meeting you earlier… that way, Manman, as well as Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, and even Little Shiyi, would all be my children.”
Just then, a light from a Teleportation Array descended from the sky.
As the light dissipated, two men wearing blue Daoist robes appeared.
When they saw Zhu Sanlang, they greeted him very enthusiastically.
“Junior Brother Zhu,” the older man called out affectionately, but his gaze drifted past Sally and finally landed on Manman, who was looking at them curiously.
The younger one started to inspect Yunmeng Island and became increasingly surprised, especially by the numerous Spiritual Materials at the bottom of the mountain.
“Sanlang, this place is wonderful. These heavenly treasures could be offered to the sect. Our Shenglong Sect would definitely rank among the top ten sects in the Demon Realm.”
“How did you find Yunmeng Island?” Zhu Sanlang asked, his expression somewhat grave.
Seeing that Zhu Sanlang had no intention of introducing her to the visitors, Sally did not say much and walked directly to Manman’s side, “Come, let’s go back to our room.”
“Hmm, Mom, Manman is hungry.” Drawing a Teleportation Array was very exhausting in terms of Elemental Power and spiritual power, so Manman quickly became hungry.
Sally replied, “Alright, Mom will take you to have something delicious.”
Glancing back at the two unexpected visitors, she saw the older one’s gaze still fixed on Manman, looking more and more pleased.
Zhu Sanlang took a couple of steps and happened to block his line of sight, “Senior Brother Chen, you still haven’t told me how you found this place.”
“Liuzhu left behind a teleportation mark on your island,” Zhao Yuan revealed as he summoned a trace of Spiritual Power in his hand, which he dropped onto the spot he was standing, revealing a star-shaped mark.
Sally saw the star-shaped mark from the System Map.
Liuzhu had come and gone twice quickly, taken away by Zhu Sanlang before she had time to pull anything off, especially with Xiaomei always watching.
That meant the teleportation mark must have been left quietly by Liuzhu on a previous visit to Yunmeng Island.
“Manman, do you miss Grandpa, Grandma, and Daddy, as well as Xiaoqi and the others?” Sally took out some fresh meat for Manman to eat first.
Manman nibbled while nodding, “Yes.”
“How about Mom sends you and Xiaoba back first, would that be okay?” They were eyeing Manman, who liked to play, and Sally could not keep her restrained all the time.
In case they captured Manman, it was better to send her back first.
Xiaoba should be sent back too, as Zi Qi was probably nearing his limit.
The Divine Liquid should be sent back for the other children to use, and if Zi Qi and the others wanted some, there would be enough.
“Won’t Mom come back with Manman? Daddy and the others are waiting for Mom,” Manman asked.
Sally gently touched the beautiful plume on her head, “Mom can’t go back now, and might not return in the future.”
When she had enough points, she would return to Earth and didn’t want any more complications.
“Why? Doesn’t Mom want to see Putao, Xiaoqi, and Xiaohao?”
“Later, Mom will have Aunt Xiaomei develop a function to summon offspring, and then you guys can come over and stay with Mom.”
“Hmm. Can Daddy and the others summon too?”
“They probably can’t.”
Although Manman was young, she vaguely sensed that the relationship between her mom and her dad and the others was extraordinary.
Sally smiled and said, “I haven’t forbidden them from finding mates. Tell your dad that if he meets someone he likes, he’s free to marry them, or if he wants to be the one married, that’s fine too. It’s as if I never existed.”
“Manman doesn’t want a stepmom, Manman only wants her real mom.”
“Hmm, our Manman has grown up~~”
