Chapter 304: Chapter 302 Love! Sixteen!
When did he ever display such low humility!
Sally remembered a time when she had been above all, in control of everything. Every issue seemed simple once it reached him.
The only time, it seemed, was when she was about to die, she had knelt to someone…
“I will pretend I didn’t hear that. Come, try the cake I made. It took three tries to whip the cream just right.”
The phone on the living room coffee table powered on by itself, then a series of messages started chiming in.
He stood up, “Thank you for the dinner, please freeze the cake for me, I’ll claim it when I have the time.”
“Wait, didn’t you come without a coat?” Sally said as she went into the guest room and came out with a suit jacket.
“This is the jacket you left at the hotel restaurant last time; I had the hotel dry clean it.” She skillfully held the jacket open, waiting for him to slip his arms in.
But Qin Mo embraced her tightly instead, “No matter what, I will find you again.”
“Do you think I’m worth all this?” Sally sighed. He knew better than anyone that she was nothing more than a spare part for Ming Shengyao.
“Worth is something I decide,” Qin Mo said, walking away without looking back.
Qin Mo stood at the door after leaving, lingering for a long time before he finally departed.
…
Sally left the ZH Grand Hotel.
Carrying that gaming helmet, she traveled from place to place.
Sally rarely stayed so devoted to a game, mainly because she could play with Xiaomei, who had a physical form, in the game.
Countdown would meet her at a fixed time every day to fight monsters together. He would ask her where she had been, who she had met, what had happened, and sometimes they would just chat until his game time was up.
And just like that, four and a half years passed.
The dark period on Earth had left many places desolate. Many towns were abandoned, buildings dilapidated, and wild grasses everywhere.
Sally stroked her now large belly; inside were twins. Initially one was a pure human fetus, but under the nourishment of Sally’s Divine Materials and Earthly Treasures, it had become extraordinary as well, and Xiaomei was uncertain what talents the human fetus might have. Moreover, after carrying for four and a half years, there was still no sign of labor.
“[Let’s choose here.]” Sally stood at the edge of a dormant volcano and looked into its darkened depths.
Xiaomei, after more than four years of calculation, found that the only way to delay the collapse of Earth was to inject a heat source into the core.
Because the core’s temperature was now very low, causing the core fire to extinguish, Xiaomei had not figured out the cause, as she lacked the energy and data to support her calculations.
And heating the core would be easy for Qing Linghuan if he were here, using his Divine Power.
But Qing Linghuan was still asleep, and he couldn’t reach such a far place anyway.
So it had to be Sally releasing her Fire Elemental Power.
“[The Host can let Little Shisi come out; he is of the complete Fire Element rules, maybe his fire can reignite the core fire.]”
“[Little Shisi?]” Sally’s Spiritual Sense entered the space.
Upon looking, several of her offspring had already come out of their egg chambers… especially Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, wandering around, trying to wake the other sleeping babies.
“[When did they wake up?]” Sally said in exasperation.
“[Little Shi was the first. When she got out, she woke Manman up, who then woke Putao and Xiaohao, and Xiaohao woke Little Shisi and Little Shiwu.]”
“[…]”
“[The Host can let them continue to sleep.]”
“[No matter, it’s only a few days until the summoning; let them play in the space.]”
“[They are very safe in the space, Xiaomei can teach them to play games.]”
“[Obsession with toys loses wisdom; begin with the children!]”
“[…Haha, no, it won’t happen.]”
“[I’m going down to the core to check things out. Please tell them that when my Fire Elemental Power is used up, they should follow and release theirs, especially Little Shisi. See how much of the Fire Element rules he can grasp.]”
“[Yes, Host.]”
Sally ventured into the depths of the core, a place of extreme darkness and cold.
Fortunately, she belonged to the Fire Element; otherwise, she couldn’t bear to stay in this place.
…
In B City, at the President’s Private Residence.
On the luxurious bed lay Ming Shengyao, skeletal and gaunt as if she could die at any moment, in a deep coma.
An elderly man with completely white hair looked at her with immense tenderness.
Kneeling on the floor behind him, Qin Mo begged, “Though she is a clone, she is still Mr. Ming’s granddaughter.”
“My only granddaughter, she must die!” the old man’s cane struck the ground forcefully, “You wouldn’t have forgotten, would you, who gave their life for yours and your mother’s!”
“I’ve already sent someone to capture her, you need not involve yourself with this matter any longer. Countdown… You’ve played the game well.”
Qin Mo’s face instantly lost all its color, “Is it, Xiao Lin?”
When he was too busy to accompany Sally, he had Xiao Lin log into the game once for him, to leave a message for Sally…
“He is the spy I’ve placed by your side, I’m aware of your every move,” the old man said.
Before he could finish, Qin Mo immediately got up from the ground and hurriedly ran out.
The old man watched Qin Mo’s figure, his eyes revealing a sinister gleam, “Someone come.”
A man emanating an icy, metallic aura appeared, “What does the President command?”
“Follow him, he must be going to find that clone now, there’s no need to bring her back, harvest the organs on the spot and send them to the MMAX Laboratory in C Country.”
“Yes, Mr. President.”
…
Qin Mo personally drove to the location Sally had mentioned last time they played the game together—the Hongkuang Volcano.
After driving non-stop for three days, he finally arrived.
But the volcano, which had been dead for who knows how many years, was now exuding an intense heat!
Qin Mo was dumbstruck.
The fire at the core of the Earth had come alive again!
What did this mean?
It meant more than just a dormant volcano turning active again—it was about the survival of Humanity!
Suddenly, a golden dragon wreathed in billowing flames emerged from the mouth of the volcano, carrying a woman on its back, soaring into the sky.
Like the golden dragons of mythology, it circled in the air several times before suddenly flying towards him.
In the end, it placed the woman on its back onto the ground, then turned into a beam of golden light and entered the woman’s forehead, disappearing from sight.
And this woman was none other than the Sally he had been thinking about all the way!
Sally’s brow furrowed tightly, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Qin Mo, she was a bit surprised, then she laughed, “You’ve come.”
“I am the countdown… I’m sorry!” Qin Mo held her in his embrace, “I won’t let you wander anymore.”
“Mmm, I won’t wander anymore.”
Because the time had come, and by coincidence, she was also ready to give birth!
This child, choosing to be born at this time, was ultimately fated not to be part of her life.
“The child is yours, you can deliver it,” Sally clutched his arm, enduring the labor pains, and looked at his car, “Let’s have it inside the car. After that, you can deal with this body however you want.”
Four years had gone by, and Qin Mo had thought it was her second pregnancy; he hadn’t even considered that it could be his child.
He had suffered serious injuries in the past and had lost most of his fertility, the slim hope that remained he had never expected to come to fruition.
“How could this be?” Qin Mo was completely unsettled, “My child… ”
Enduring the pain, Sally took a moment to recover, then blinking, she tried hard to flash a sly and playful smile, “Mmm, I’m a reincarnation of the Goddess, so the child I’m carrying is also extraordinary.”
It wasn’t quite lying to him, the Beastwomen of the God Rank were simply referred to as Goddesses.
“Shi Liu, Pomegranate… a very auspicious fruit, I hope this child will be happy, and I wish you and Ming Shengyao… never mind, I won’t wish you happiness after all, I really can’t stand her, there’s no need to be insincere at this time.”
“You knew?” His voice trembled.
“Mhm. I am a clone, living organs that can be taken as needed,” she said.
“It won’t happen! I will never allow them to lay a finger on you! The moment I stopped checking your body was the very moment I made my decision,” he declared.
“Then aren’t you betraying your savior?”
“I’ve slaved away for so many years, I’ve paid my dues. I love you, Sally! You have always been my one and only love!”
“I know!” Sally realized it when she was opening the safe.
Who could for over a thousand days, every single day without fail, remember to play games with her; even Xiaomei sometimes felt too lazy to play. He was such a busy man, yet sometimes for a special game event, he would even stay up all night with her…
“Johnny, I loved you!”
The familiar white light flashed before her eyes…
[Congratulations Host! Successfully gave birth to the sixteenth offspring, gender (Female), race (Pure Human), talent (True Spiritual Body), secret technique (Law of Heaven and Earth), paternal race (Pure Human), no reward!]
