Chapter 272: Chapter 270 Pure Blood Rule
…
Summoning spells were not something anyone could use.
Even summoners had to pay a certain price to perform a summoning.
Sometimes, even after paying the price, one might not achieve the purpose of the summoning.
But there existed beings, for whom summoning was as easy as a routine meal prep.
Those were the Pureblood Beast Clan!
Xiaoshi was a Pureblood Angel, and her summoning spell, to put it bluntly, was like shaking down relatives. When a junior was in trouble, they’d ask their still-living ancestors for help, for a bit of support.
As long as there were forebears above, a response came with every shake.
This was the privilege of purebloods, a law the ancestors had to follow to protect their pureblood descendants.
It was also the main reason why Frans valued these pureblood offspring so deeply. And only purebloods had the chance to peek beyond the Saint Rank.
If you say that effort is nothing in the face of innate talent, then talent is just as weak before pureblood heritage. Like Little Shier, even if he was born with only Saint Rank talent, as long as his bloodline was that of a Pureblood Divine Beast, Divine Status would descend upon him. But if one reached the peak of God Rank with talent, and the bloodline wasn’t pure, Divine Status would not come.
However, Frans truly valued these Pureblood Angels, fearing the slightest harm might come to them.
But at Sally’s place, they were treated all the same. Mischievousness beyond limits would lead to punishment. Excessive energy had to be released.
And only by depleting the Angelic Saint Force inside could the body be stimulated to produce more Angelic Saint Force. When the moon is full, it wanes; when it wanes, it waxes. Only in a state of constant deficiency could better development and evolution occur.
Qing Linghuan, upon discovering that Xiaoshi had woken up not only with her Angelic Saint Force fully restored but also improved by ten percent, suddenly remembered this law—the Pureblood Sapling Protection Law.
He had no offspring, nor had he been summoned before, so he was quite unfamiliar with this rule.
“Sister Xiaoshi, your summoning spell is so powerful, but why did you fall asleep? You even scared Uncle Zi. He stood watch over you until he was sure you were fine before he went to handle official business,” Manman said to Xiaoshi.
Xiaoshi replied, “Because my Saint Force is too weak now, I can only summon once a day. In the future, when I have more Saint Force, I’ll be able to summon more times.”
“Uncle Qing said that your summoning spell requires a price to be paid. What did you pay?” Manman, though careless, was very meticulous about important matters.
Xiaoshi replied, “Nothing, no price needed. When I summon them, they are very happy.”
Qing Linghuan stood at the door, listening to Xiaoshi’s words, and became more certain of her pureblood lineage.
A Pureblood Angel must be a Divine Angel.
And there was another one, Xiaojiu, and she was a twin, so she should also be pureblood.
Two Divine Angel progenies, along with a Qilin…
This woman was truly not to be trifled with!
…
Zi Qi naturally dared not let the three children return to the battlefield, so he wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaohao.
He insisted that Xiaohao must deliver it to Sally and have her reply.
Xiaohao agreed.
The three days passed quickly.
Xiaoba returned to Qianyu Island with the three siblings.
Sally watched the three little ones, who seemed even more vibrant than when they left.
“Uh, didn’t you help with the pest extermination?” Sally asked.
Xiaoba couldn’t speak, and indeed, he never got the chance to join the battlefield; Zi Qi kept him close at all times.
Manman replied, “We killed a few hundred insects on the first day, but afterwards Uncle Zi wouldn’t let us go.”
Xiaohao handed the letter to Sally, “Uncle Zi asked me to give this to Mom. I killed about as many insects as Manman, and after that, he wouldn’t let us go either.”
Finally, Xiaoshi said, “I summoned a Divine Angel, and he helped me exterminate a large swathe of insects.”
When Sally opened the letter and read the contents, she brought her hand to her forehead in apparent distress at an issue.
She softly asked Xiaoshi, “Why didn’t you tell Uncle Zi that summoning spells are just normal magic to you?”
“Next time, I’ll tell Uncle Zi Qi,” Xiaoshi obediently replied.
Sally patted her head.
In the letter, Zi Qi harshly and sternly criticized her. She should not have punished the three children by sending them to the battlefield just because they were mischievous, and he was wrong to have indulged her.
Inside, Sally was upset by the criticism; when had Zi Qi ever spoken to her so harshly before?
She and Xiaomei had studied their detailed Innate Secret Techniques and even tested their psychological resilience. The three little ones had absolutely no issues.
All of them had a penchant for battle. If they weren’t sent to kill insects, should they stay on the island and disturb the Spiritual Materials?
Sally looked at the three of them, “Do you still want to kill insects?”
Manman: “Yes.”
Xiaohao: “Yes.”
Xiaoshi: “Killing insects is so much fun.”
“Good, we’ll continue tomorrow.” Despite their small size, the three children’s strength was evident. Why not utilize it?
Especially Xiaoshi, whose Angelic Saint power would grow slowly if it weren’t expended regularly. And the same went for Manman; in the past, Zhu Sanlang often had her expel her power.
Zhu Sanlang?
Uh…
She almost forgot that even though he couldn’t go to Continent 9908, someone from his family could.
Zhu Yin, a surefire God Rank master.
Right away, Sally rummaged through her Space Ring to find the Sound Transmission Talisman Zhu Sanlang had left for her.
She asked him to send a message to Zhu Yin, requesting his presence on Continent 9908.
It wasn’t long before Zhu Sanlang’s reply arrived.
——”Great Uncle has already embarked for Continent 9908. The children and I would like to visit you, may we?”
Reading the letter, Sally suddenly understood the feeling Xiaoshi had when summoning her ancestors; the thrill of ordering great figures around was too cool, “Yes, I am on Qianyu Island. It’s a good opportunity for Little Shier to meet his siblings.”
“Xiaohao, you’re about to have another little brother come over,” Sally said with a smile.
Xiaohao pondered the absence of Little Shier, “Is it the brother with the body of a Qilin Beast?”
“Exactly, mother hasn’t seen him for quite some time either, I wonder if he has grown.” It would be a good time to check his health.
Soon Zhu Sanlang arrived.
Qing Linghuan had set up a Divine Camouflage Array on Qianyu Island.
Following the Sound Transmission Talisman, Zhu Sanlang only saw vast ocean; there was no island in sight.
He flew a little closer and was suddenly blocked by something.
He didn’t try to force his way through the array.
He sent another message to Sally, “There’s an array blocking the way.”
Sally remembered Qing Linghuan mentioning that after he left, Qianyu Island could only be accessed with his specially made Teleportation Scrolls, of which Qing Linghuan had left her a few.
She immediately had Xiaoshi carry Xiaoba and act as a courier once more. The distance wasn’t far, just outside the island.
Seeing a beautiful girl with golden hair and green eyes holding Xiaoba, Zhu Sanlang recognized her as the Little Angel he had helped to deliver.
“Xiaoshi, do you remember me?” Zhu Sanlang’s melodious voice was very pleasant to hear.
Xiaoshi tilted her head and thought; she had heard this voice before… Suddenly, a memory flashed in her mind.
A man, holding her and Xiaojiu, arguing with Sally, not letting Sally send them away.
“I remember now, you took care of us when Xiaojiu and I were very young.”
“Mm.”
“Is this Little Shier?” Xiaoshi looked at the Little Kirin he was holding, well-behaved, with big, curious eyes staring at her.
