Chapter 262: Chapter 260: Alien Species
…
Two months later——
Sally touched her increasingly large belly, looking at the fruit tree not far away, where Xiaoqi was picking fruit to eat with Xiaoba, a tender smile on her face.
This pregnancy advanced quickly—she would probably give birth soon.
But since Qing Linghuan went to the Youming Continent, he hadn’t returned.
Something must have happened.
Yet, whatever it was, if even he couldn’t resolve it, her going would be pointless, especially with the baby in her belly.
Xiaoqi, holding a large fruit, teleported to Sally’s side, “This is the king of fruits, for Mom to eat.”
“Thank you, my precious Qi, Mom won’t eat it. You and your brother enjoy it,” Sally kissed the little one.
Xiaoqi’s emotional intelligence was extremely high. Having been with her for so long, not once had he caused trouble, and every time he went out to play, he took Xiaoba along, taking very good care of his younger brother.
“Xiaoqi, do you miss your Father Emperor?” Even though she never mentioned it, having been held by Zi Qi since birth, he must feel closer to him.
Xiaoqi nodded, “Yes, I do, but Father Emperor is very busy every day and doesn’t have time for Xiaoqi. It’s more fun to be with Mom.”
“Being with Mom also means you don’t have to go to school, right?” Sally chuckled.
“Xiaoqi doesn’t dislike school; it’s that Auntie always follows me,” Xiaoqi was clearly distressed.
“Auntie does that because she cares about you,” Sally said, looking at Xiaoba, who was left high up on the branch, “You could ask Auntie to shift her attention and check on Xiaoba more often.”
“Father Emperor won’t allow it.”
“Hmm?”
“Other than me and Uncle Yu Yan, Father Emperor doesn’t let anyone touch my brother. Especially after last time when Mom summoned brother away, Dad went out of the palace to find him many times, frantic.”
“Uh…” Sally realized that this time, she had brought both children with her, Zi Qi would be furious.
“Haha~” Sally laughed awkwardly.
Suddenly, something appeared in her System Space.
Xiaomei’s voice rang out, “[Host, the third child just activated a Substitute Talisman.]
Sally’s face turned instantly pale.
In a rush, she moved out a rat beast the size of a small deer from the space. It was half blue, half white, with a massive wound in its abdomen, its internal organs completely gnawed!
Sally felt as if her blood was running in reverse, tears immediately blurring her vision, “Shishi——”
The rat beast opened its eyes, and upon seeing Sally, it weakly called out, “Mom?”
Sally directed Xiaomei, “[Heal her!]”
“[Restoring internal organs and flesh wounds will cost a total of 3000 points.]” Xiaomei responded.
“[Okay.]”
Very soon, the wounds on Yohanes Millet’s body were healed, restored to their original state, not a trace of blood left.
But Sally deeply remembered the state Yohanes had arrived in.
Although Xiaoqi was not familiar with Yohanes, the close blood tie of being born from the same womb made her understand that this female rat beast was her sister.
“My name is Zi Yuxi, I rank seventh, which is why I’m also called Xiaoqi. What’s your name?”
Yohanes, with a pair of black eyes strikingly similar to Sally’s, looked at Xiaoqi, then at Sally, who had tearful eyes and was nodding at her, and said, “My name is Yohanes Millet, with an older sister Yona Deira and a younger brother Frost Millet.”
Sally hugged Yohanes tight, “My darling, what happened? Where are your sister and brother? How are Grandpa and Uncle doing?”
“Sister is okay, she’s at Grandpa’s. Brother got injured, but Grandpa and Uncle saved him,” Yohanes cried again, “The Rat Clan is gone.”
Sally hurriedly soothed her emotions, then said to Xiaoqi, “Xiaoqi, you take second sister to recognize Xiaoba. Mom has some things to take care of.”
“Okay.” Xiaoqi teleported onto Yohanes’s back, then took her to find Xiaoba.
From the video given by Xiaomei, Sally saw the whole incident unfold.
The Rat Tribe was attacked by the Insect Clan, and it was they who injured Yohanes.
Sally looked at the Insect Clan in the video, the adult’s glowing torso alone was over three meters long, with the smallest being over one meter. With eight segmented legs, a long whip-like tail, a cockroach-like thorax and abdomen, a ghoulish face, and a mouth full of fangs that resembled a suction cup…
The sight made her scalp tingle, “What kind of monster is this?”
“An alien species.” Xiaomei’s tone was also very grave.
Sally frowned, her heart in her mouth, “Can we wipe out the Insect Clan?”
“No, the Ghostface Insects are not included in the system’s database.”
“Do you need data? Then I’ll go now and catch one for research, would that work?”
“The host is pregnant and should not venture into perilous places. As for the data, it comes from the Great System’s database, not something Xiaomei can extract by herself.”
“This won’t work, that won’t work…” Sally’s gaze suddenly turned towards Xiaoba.
“What about sending Xiaoba to send a message back to Zi Qi? These Insect Clan creatures look extremely vicious. If we let them develop unchecked, they will sooner or later threaten not only the Western District but the Eastern District too.”
“It’s doable, the sooner the better. In general, the reproductive capabilities of the Insect Clan are very formidable.”
“Yeah, has that function of summoning your offspring been developed yet?”
“Once the host gives birth to Divine Beast offspring, it should be possible.”
“Good.”
“Host, Xiaomei just checked, and now many continents in Beast World have been attacked by the Insect Clan. Continent 9908, thanks to its barrier, is only invaded from the edges, and the situation can still be controlled. Many other continents have been infiltrated directly through Teleportation Arrays.”
“What about the Demon Realm?”
“No sightings yet.”
“Let Xiaoba go back first, and Xiaoqi and Shishi can stay here. At times like this, I really wish all my children were by my side.” Sally became anxious and uneasy.
Xiaomei reminded Sally, “Host, pay attention to your emotions, it will affect the fetus.”
Sally touched her round belly, “Mom is worried about your brothers and sisters, it’s not about you, huh? You just sleep plenty and grow quickly.”
…
Sally held Xiaoba, looking at Xiaoqi standing on Yohanes’s head.
“Mom is going to have Xiaoba send a message back, and he’ll be back soon. Do you want to go back with Xiaoba, or stay here?”
“Xiaoqi misses Father, but also really doesn’t want to leave Mom and second sister.”
“I know~ Then you go back with Xiaoba first to see Father, and later you can come back with him.”
“Okay.” Xiaoqi teleported onto Xiaoba’s eggshell.
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were sent away.
Yohanes was very worried about her sister and brother, “Mom, can I go back? I want to bring sister and brother here.”
“I’ve instructed in the letter to ask Uncle Zi Qi to send people to the Western District. Moreover, Frost and Yona, they’re still fine. If they encounter danger, they will return to Mom’s side just like you.
Mom gave you life, so I will absolutely keep you safe and sound as you grow. Even if I’m not by your side, I am always watching over your health.”
“Yes! Shishi understands.” Yohanes finally felt relieved, and with a little shyness, she drew closer to Sally and whispered, “I’ve dreamed about Mom many times.”
“So has Mom.” Sally embraced her tightly, “Mom’s good daughter.”
