Chapter 256: Chapter 254: Eyes Open at the Sight of Treasure
…
“This beast armor will be perfect for my daughter.”
Sally picked out a purple treasure armor that looked like a small shawl and set it to the side.
As Qing Linghuan ate roasted crabs, he glanced at the beast armor and said, “It’s made from the hide of an Ancient Thunder Divine Beast, Xiaoqi just needs to drip a drop of blood on it.”
“Hmm. What’s this bird nest? It looks just right for my son.” Sally said as she placed Xiaoba into the nest.
It fit perfectly.
“That’s the nest for a Vermilion Bird egg.”
“Vermilion Bird? Is that a Phoenix Bird?”
“No. The Vermilion Bird originated from chaos, possesses Sun True Fire, and is a superior divine beast.”
“And you?”
“I… I’m just a Spiritual Beast now,” he said.
“Well, I’m glad you’re just a Spiritual Beast now, otherwise where would I have met you?”
“Hehe,” Qing Linghuan looked at her, his gaze shifting to her belly, and nodded, “Indeed. Looking back now, it was all worth it.”
Sally continued to rummage through the mountain-like pile of heavenly and earthly treasures.
Whenever she found something she wanted to eat, she would immediately consume it… When Xiaoqi woke up, she saw the mountain of treasures and her deep blue eyes sparkled with golden light, and she started scratching at it with all four paws.
However, Xiaoqi was busy moving things into her own Storage Bag…
Suddenly, Sally remembered Manman’s Fengxi Bracelet, “Xiaoqi, did you return Sister Manman’s Fengxi Bracelet to her?”
Xiaoqi paused, then dived into her Storage Bag, and after a series of sounds like rummaging through a box, she reemerged with the Fengxi Bracelet in her mouth.
“Here it is. Uncle Ming said it was a gift for me.” Xiaoqi handed the Fengxi Bracelet to Sally.
Sally patted her head, “This item is a heritage piece of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan. Whether it’s a treasure or a common item, heritage is heritage, and only the rightful heir can possess it. With such a mountain of treasures, you can pick anything you like. I’ll return this to Sister Manman, okay?”
“Okay, Mom.” Xiaoqi turned around and went back to picking treasures with her Storage Bag.
For her, the Fengxi Bracelet was just a collectible, replaceable by something new.
Sally shook her head, chuckling, “Who does she take after? Her father isn’t like that either.”
“The Dragon Clan has a very strong possessive desire towards treasures,” Qing Linghuan said to Sally, “It’s quite normal.”
When Xiaoqi had run off into the distance, Sally spoke to Qing Linghuan in a low voice, “Her real father is a deep-sea shark, and the one who raised her is Xiaoba’s real father.”
“That makes sense, I noticed a water tribe aura on her. So, she has a Dual-Beast Body?”
“Yes. I owe my life to her father, who transferred his life force to me.”
“Isn’t your life span supposed to increase with cultivation?” Qing Linghuan frowned.
“No, cultivation doesn’t help me with my life span at all; it only allows me to have offspring of higher races. The only way to extend my life is through the points earned by giving birth.”
“Tell me more,” Qing Linghuan urged with a rare seriousness.
Sally had no choice but to carefully explain her relationship with the System…
After listening to Sally, Qing Linghuan was silent for a long time.
Before meeting Sally, he had never heard of the existence of the System. Even when the administrator appeared, he barely understood a thing.
Now he completely understood, but how did this System invade this world?
“I need to make a trip to the Youming Continent,” Qing Linghuan said, looking at her, “You and the three kids…”
“It’s fine. Three kids, one is still an egg, another is still a fetus, Xiaoqi may be mischievous but she is smart and doesn’t require much attention. But you, after plundering so many treasures from Lan Shi, won’t he cause trouble for you?”
“Last time he invaded the Demon Realm, he gained nothing and even got a beating from the old Dragon Mother, his own mother. He’s still licking his wounds and wouldn’t dare to act rashly.”
“It seems you’ve passed the message well, consider this a reward.”
Sally embraced him, stood on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips to his…
Xiaoqi sneakily watched and quickly covered her eyes, “Shy, shy~!”
Hearing her, Sally let go of Qing Linghuan, “Go ahead.”
Qing Linghuan looked towards Xiaoqi, who was now sniffing at a Thousand-Year Blood Vine, likely having decided it was a good thing, and then stuffed it into her Little Storage Bag.
“Yanyan, I want a daughter!”
“Huh?”
Sally followed his gaze, and there was Xiaoqi, heading towards a white rock with her little storage bag in tow.
“Daughters are good; they can manage a household.”
“…”
Was this really a matter of managing a household? She just had the eye for treasure.
…
Ten days went by in a flash.
Qing Linghuan left the island.
Xiaoqi no longer had to be on guard against Qing Linghuan at night and could finally get a good night’s sleep.
Since Sally had the chaos fruit as a base, her appetite hadn’t reached the point of being uncontrollable, though she did occasionally feel a void in her stomach.
Xiaoqi started running around the island during the day, sometimes even taking Xiaoba with her; God knows what they were up to, so mysterious and secretive.
Sally lay on the beach chair, basking in the sun, enjoying the peaceful days with her children by her side.
“Mommy—” Xiaoqi’s voice came from afar.
Sally turned her head to look.
There she was, standing on the round and chubby Xiaoba, with a green giant python more than ten meters long trailing behind her.
“… What’s going on here?” Sally teleported over and scooped up both Xiaoqi and Xiaoba in her arms.
The little golden dragon was energetically circling on top of its eggshell, looking very excited.
Meanwhile, Xiaoqi pointed at the green giant python, “Mom, let’s stew it and have snake soup.”
The green giant python was still alive.
Sally looked at her two children, one still in an egg, the other tiny as the palm of her hand, neither looking like they had any fighting capability.
And there was the green giant python, over ten meters long, with yellow snake eyes that should be cold and frightening. Yet, it showed a pitiful expression of fear and pleading.
Sally was at a loss for words, “Where did you find it?”
“Just behind the forest, at the bottom of the cliff, in a stone cave.”
“… You guys sure can run!”
“It’s not far from here, we got there pretty quickly,” Xiaoqi’s little claw scratched her belly.
Only then did Sally notice that her belly was injured, with a bit of blue-purple blood oozing out.
Sally quickly took out the first aid kit and began treating Xiaoqi’s wound.
“How did you hurt yourself? If your dad sees, I won’t be able to explain it to him,” she said.
Zi Qi would definitely be furious if he saw his darling kids injured.
She had planned to send them back today, and also to convey a message. They would pick them up again in a couple of days.
Now they couldn’t be sent back; they had to stay and recover on the island first. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Xiaoqi didn’t seem to care, “It’s nothing, just a small wound. It won’t stop me from being active.”
“You’re still active?” Sally couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, she applied a bandage and pinched Xiaoqi’s little ear, “But no more mischief, okay?”
[Xiaomei, can you figure out any information about this green python?]
[It was about to transform into a Jiao. It was the strange phenomena during its transformation that attracted the attention of Xiaoqi and Xiaoba. As a result, they beat it up and dragged it here.]
[What bad luck, having two kids ruin its critical evolution process.]
[Host, you could eat it; it would be a good source of nourishment.]
[…Never mind, I’m not that hungry today. Besides, its pitiful appearance kind of arouses my sympathy.]
Sally stroked Xiaoqi, “Mommy is not feeling too hungry today, let’s let it go back. If Mommy feels like having snake soup later, we can catch it again, okay?”
“Why bother with that trouble? Just kill it, clean it and put it in the storage bag. When we want to eat, we can just throw it into the pot.”
