Chapter 280: Chapter 278: Bringing the Kids Home
…
The next morning.
Qing Linghuan had a grim expression. He had waited for her the entire night, but she never came out of Zhu Sanlang’s room.
Even when the king graced the harem, there was a distinction between the first half of the night and the latter half!
He had nothing!
The sun was high in the sky when Sally finally emerged with an excellent complexion. She then headed straight for the children’s quarters, completely oblivious to Qing Linghuan who stood not far away, with a cold expression, holding two children.
Today was the day they planned to return to Continent 9908, and the children couldn’t wait to go back.
Although they were doing well with Sally, they also longed for the Father Beast who had raised them.
Zhu Sanlang too was taking his son and leaving.
Having enjoyed Sally’s favor the entire night, he was fully content. Even when facing Qing Linghuan, he was neither humble nor arrogant, considering Qing Linghuan came after him…
“Thanks to Brother Qing’s care, my son and I are going back to the Qilin Academy today.”
“…You can leave your son behind,” Qing Linghuan, who liked the Little Kirin but not Zhu Sanlang, didn’t even bother to hide his disdain.
Zhu Sanlang laughed out loud, “May I hold the fourteenth and the fifteenth?”
“…” Qing Linghuan hesitated for a while before handing over his son and daughter, “Just for a moment.”
“Thank you.” Zhu Sanlang fully understood; he had felt the same when he first held Little Yunrui, fearing someone might take him away.
After all, progeny so outstanding were beyond one’s wildest dreams.
Soft and fluffy, a touch unlike that of Little Yunrui at all.
Little Yunrui was also soft but had scales on her body with only a little bit of down. Not like the little foxes, whose entire bodies were covered in comparatively longer lanugo, incredibly soft and plush.
“If one day you’re too busy to take care of the children, you can leave them in the Qilin Academy, and I’ll certainly treat them as my own.”
“I’ll return those words to you as they are.”
“What are you talking about?” Sally came out from the dormitory, followed by a group of little ones.
Everyone was dressed in pretty new clothes, but of course, the most stunning was the humanoid Little Shiwu, with golden hair and green eyes, gorgeous and delicate, wearing a white Little Angel dress, captivating all the attention.
Zhu Sanlang said, “I finally got to hold them, they’re so cute.”
“Right? My heart melted when I held them,” Sally agreed, with eyes brimming with maternal love.
She took the two furry balls from Zhu Sanlang’s arms. Little Shiwu was fine, with white fur and black eyes, long black eyelashes, and a charming winged eyeliner at the corner of her eyes. Little Shisi, however, was all black fur and eyes, entirely black… If not for the reflective pupils, just a fluff of darkness.
She passed Little Shisi and Little Shiwu around for the other children to hold.
Then, asking Xiaomei for an instant the camera, she took many pictures of the children to capture their youthful appearances.
Xiaoqi suddenly bit Little Shisi’s ear while looking at him…
Sally was startled and quickly checked Qing Linghuan, who was instructing Yuna, Shishi, and Frost, paying no attention to this side.
She quietly stopped Xiaoqi, “You can’t do that.”
Only then Xiaoqi let go, “Little Shisi’s ears are so fun, they can spin in a circle~”
Sally: “…”
It was fun, but you shouldn’t bite. If Qing Linghuan saw this, she probably wouldn’t be able to hold these two little ones anymore.
Perhaps because of their all-white fur, Little Shiwu and Xiaoqi grew quite close, nuzzling each other.
Xiaoqi bit Little Shiwu again, naturally facing Sally’s intervention.
What a strange habit.
“A gentleman should move his mouth, not his hands… Ahem, good babies should use their lips, not their teeth. Kiss more, no biting,” Sally instructed Xiaoqi.
Little Shiwu also liked Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, and heeded Sally’s words, planting kisses on them before giving each of them an Angel’s blessing.
Aside from Xiaoqi, who expressed her affection by biting, the other babies all gave gifts to Little Shisi and Little Shiwu.
Even Little Shisan took out two Angel necklaces from his Little Storage Bag, possibly gifts he had received, which he then passed on to his younger brother and sister. He also produced a bunch of delicious and fun items, showing generous willingness to share.
Sally patted Little Shisan’s head, “Do you feel happy now that you’re a brother too?”
“Mmm-hmm.” Little Shisan nodded.
“What’s his name?” Qing Linghuan asked Sally.
Sally replied, “It seems to be Ryan Millet Saint World.”
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Xiaojiu, “Right?”
“Yes, Mother.” Xiaojiu, when in Rome, sometimes called Sally Empress Mother, sometimes Mother.
Qing Linghuan looked at Sally and suddenly asked, “What is Fifteen’s full name?”
Sally was startled, “Isn’t it Fifteen?”
“Full name.”
“Qing Yu Su…” Sally’s eyes turned towards Yona.
Yona immediately said, “Little Sister Fifteen, smart~ bright~ witty and cute, I like her very, very much.”
Sally smiled, “Exactly, so your Uncle Qing has named her Qing Yu Suying, how nice it sounds, right?”
“Yes.” Yona nodded.
Qing Linghuan patted Sally’s shoulder lightly but firmly, “If there’s a next time, punishment is inevitable.”
Sally was speechless, alright… she was indeed at fault.
After a hearty lunch, Sally first sent Zhu Sanlang off carrying Little Shier away from Qianyu Island.
She then prepared to take the children back to Continent 9908.
“Let’s leave tomorrow, let the children play for one more day.” Qing Linghuan didn’t want the liveliness of the island to disappear suddenly.
Sally looked at Little Shisi and Little Shiwu who were happily playing with Manman, swinging their furry tails…
Sally hugged his waist, nestling in his embrace, “How about I keep you company tonight?”
“…You bad woman!” Qing Linghuan held her tight.
…
Continent 9908, Beast Emperor’s Palace.
Zi Qi and Ming Linyuan returned from killing insects in the Senyu Beast Forest.
Now Ming Linyuan possessed Saint Rank talents, but he still felt he wasn’t as formidable as Zi Qi.
“I must be a fake Saint Rank. Killing Saint Rank Insect Beasts, I’m not as efficient as you.” Ming Linyuan was so tired that he slumped directly into a chair.
Zi Qi glanced at him, not mentioning the matter of talent, “Want to soak for a bit?”
“Hot springs? Nevermind, I’ll just lie down here for a while.” Ming Linyuan answered.
“Then I’m off.” Zi Qi probably flipped through the pile of official documents on the table, showing no immediate intent to deal with them.
“Go ahead.” Ming Linyuan waved his hand.
Zi Qi was also tired and didn’t want to use Spiritual Power to Teleport. Instead, he used the palace’s Teleportation Array to get to the Forest Sea Garden Hot Spring Lake.
As soon as he came out of the Teleportation Array, he froze!
He didn’t move a muscle, fearing that what he saw before him was just an illusion.
The woman he yearned for in his dreams was playing in the hot spring with a bunch of adorable cubs.
Xiaoqi tossed Xiaoba onto a big yellow duck float and swam around by herself. Suddenly spotting Zi Qi, she immediately shouted with joy, “Father Emperor—Father Emperor—Xiaoqi is here.”
Sally was teaching Xiaoshi how to swim frog-style when she heard Xiaoqi’s shout and turned to look.
It was Zi Qi.
He looked at her, his eyes full of disbelief.
Sally smiled radiantly and called out sweetly and coyly, “Your Majesty, come and lend a hand. There are too many children, and I’m a bit overwhelmed.”
