Chapter 265: Chapter 263: Line up to find Mom!
…
Zong Silu cradled his son Putao and arrived at the Beast Emperor’s Palace.
As soon as he reached the palace gate, he saw Pei Xuan had also come.
Pei Xuan was in his beast form, exceptionally tall and majestic, his nimble body filled with an intimidating sense of power. And following by his side, Xiaohao still looked like a cub, no different than before, bouncing around, full of liveliness.
“Uncle Zong—” Xiaohao ran towards Zong Silu, “I want to play with little brother Putao.”
Zong Silu set Putao down on the ground.
Immediately, the two little ones tussled with each other. They were only playing, careful not to bite with their mouths.
Pei Xuan returned to his human form, dressed in a black, fitted robe, looking extremely handsome and cool.
Zong Silu now had shed his youthful flamboyance, becoming increasingly composed. His beautiful, delicate ears, adorned with an earring on the left, missing one on the right.
Touching the earlobe without an earring, Zong Silu asked, “Are you also sending your child over?”
Pei Xuan looked down at the frolicking children, “Even if Xiaohao stays by my side, nothing would happen, but there’s no need to make him take this risk.”
“Do you think, after this matter ends, she’ll personally bring the children back?” Zong Silu inquired.
Pei Xuan’s gaze trembled slightly, “Who knows… that woman has never been idle.”
Yu Yan came out from inside the palace and, seeing that they had brought their children, said, “Your Majesty is waiting for the two of you.”
“Has Ming Linyuan arrived?” Pei Xuan asked.
Yu Yan replied, “He’s been here for a while and even brought Little Shiyi. The Beast Emperor of the Northern Region, Yin Zang, was also invited by Your Majesty.”
“Then let’s hurry over,” Zong Silu beckoned his son, “Putao, go find your Sister Manman.”
Only then did Putao and Xiaohao stop their roughhousing.
Xiaohao straightened out his body and took the lead, running towards the palace interior, “I’m going to find Xiaoqi.”
Zi Qi received a distress signal from the Beast Emperor of the Western District.
It was written entirely in blood, showing how dire the situation was.
Looking at Manman, who was hugging Xiaoba, with Xiaoqi and Little Shiyi squatting on Manman’s head, all that was missing was Putao and Xiaohao — then all the children here would have been gathered.
Ming Linyuan also read the distress signal from the Western District’s Beast Emperor. Initially not paying much attention to the contents of Sally’s letter, he now couldn’t help but take it seriously, “Yanyan said these are foreign species, not native to this world. Even her ‘System’ doesn’t have any information on them.”
“Mm, looks like we’re in for a tough battle,” Zi Qi glanced at the children, especially Xiaoba who used to be so eager to come out, now… thankfully he hadn’t emerged from his shell.
Xiaohao was the first to run into the hall.
He greeted Zi Qi and Ming Linyuan, “Hello Uncle Zi, hello Uncle Ming.”
Then he rushed towards Manman, “Manman, I want to hug Xiaoba too.”
Ming Linyuan watched the children causing a racket and feigned annoyance, “How can you call him uncle and me uncle as well? I’m clearly ahead of you.”
“Let the children call whatever they prefer,” Zi Qi said with a smile.
Ming Linyuan looked towards the entrance of the hall where Putao peeked in shyly.
“Come in,” he said to Putao.
Putao was a bit reserved, “Hello Uncle Ming, hello Uncle Zi.”
“Good, go and play,” Zi Qi nodded.
Ming Linyuan laughed, “See, Putao is smart and quick-witted.”
Yin Zang entered the hall yawning, still reeking of alcohol.
Noticing the horde of children in the hall, he quickly used a cleansing spell, cleaning himself up and immediately feeling refreshed.
Seeing him, Putao respectfully knelt on one knee, “Putao pays his respects to His Majesty, the Silver Emperor.”
“Get up, get up, the child is too sensible, truly worthy of being Elder Zong’s grandson.” Yin Zang said with a laugh before taking out a bag of Snow Spiritual Fruits from the Storage Bag, “These are for you.”
Snow Spiritual Fruits are a rare type of Spirit Fruit unique to the Northern Region. It was no easy feat for Yin Zang to produce a whole bag of them.
Zi Qi handed over the letter from Sally and the blood-written letter from the Beast Emperor of the Western District to Yin Zang, “Take a look first.”
Yin Zang received the letters.
However, as he read them, his expression changed dramatically, “Speaking of which, when I was on my way here, the Witch Priest also mentioned that I should be wary of insects.”
Pei Xuan and Zong Silu arrived as well.
After greeting Yin Zang and checking the time, it was almost noon.
The children had been longing for their mother and, hearing that they were about to see her, immediately stopped their ruckus and behaved quietly.
The moment the noon bell rang, the children vanished from the hall in unison.
For a time, you could hear a pin drop.
It was Zong Silu who finally spoke first, “Can she really handle so many children?”
Ming Linyuan, taking pleasure in the potential trouble, “With Manman there, she can forget about peace. Plus, Xiaohao likes to cause a stir too.”
Zi Qi added, “She is also pregnant.”
The expression on Ming Linyuan’s face froze instantly, “…”
…
Sally, looking at the children lined up neatly in a row coming towards her, felt her heavy heart lighten somewhat.
Qing Linghuan, who was preparing to leave, ended up giving away a pile of treasures to the sudden arrival of a group of children. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Before sealing the Netherworld Continent, Lan Shi had given more than half of his treasured collection to Qing Linghuan.
Given that Qing Linghuan’s space was large, it was certainly better than letting the Insect Clan profit from it.
Xiaoqi and Xiaoba had already received gifts from Qing Linghuan before and now received another, which delighted them immensely, “Uncle Qing, this is my gift in return.”
Xiaoqi handed over the Snow Spiritual Fruit she had gotten from Putao to Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan was pleasantly surprised; he hadn’t expected a return gift. Regardless of what it was, he was very happy, “Thank you, Xiaoqi.”
The other children, following Xiaoqi’s example, also handed their Snow Spiritual Fruits to Qing Linghuan.
Soon, Qing Linghuan had a pile of Snow Spiritual Fruits in his hands.
Sally said with a smile, “Not bad, not bad at all. My children have taken a liking to you.”
“There are still four more to go. Why don’t I help you pick up the children first? Let’s have a grand reunion.” Qing Linghuan looked at Sally’s children, realizing that aside from the second, third, and fourth-ranked Rabbit Clan and Rat Clan younglings, the others had notable talents, especially Little Shisan, the Kylin who had descended from Divine Status at birth.
“There’s no need to worry about the Kylin Clan for now. With Zhu Yin there, there’s no problem with their safety. How about you first check out the situation on the Holy Capital Continent? If things there are dire, you can bring me the three Little Angels.”
According to Xiaomei’s precognition, the situation might be even more severe in the Holy World Empire. After all, it’s completely supported by the Offspring System, where the System wielded the greatest influence.
“Then I’ll head to the Holy Capital Continent first.”
Qing Linghuan left.
Sally remained with her nine children.
Sally picked up the largest child, Xiaohao, “Come, let Mommy give you a kiss.”
She planted a loud smooch on his forehead.
Xiaohao licked Sally’s face enthusiastically as a return gesture, “It’s the real mommy, so fragrant.”
“Of course, it’s real. Did you think there could be a fake one?” Sally said with a laugh before giving him another kiss.
“Daddy drew a picture of you, Mommy, and hung it on the wall. That one is fake, but I lick it every day too,” Xiaohao said.
Sally: “…”
