Chapter 328: Chapter 326 Eighteen Routines
Zi Qi kept a close watch on Little Shiqi until he was certain the child was fine, then he turned to Sally.
Sally burst into laughter, “He’s a Divine Beast! Could a little pond possibly drown him?”
“Yanyan, your son’s hundredth day is today. Not only is there no celebration here, but you actually tossed him directly into the water.” Zi Qi expressed his helplessness towards Sally’s carelessness.
“Is that so?” Sally had so many children that she couldn’t always keep track of these dates. But when reminded, she definitely intended to celebrate.
“What does he like to eat?”
“He has a sweet tooth.”
“Then let’s make him a cake.”
Sally stretched out her arms towards Little Shiqi. “Come here, let Mommy hold you. I’m sorry, Mommy forgot it’s your hundredth day today; can you forgive me?”
Little Shiqi didn’t care about his hundred-day celebration, or rather, he didn’t understand it at all. Seeing Sally open her arms to hold him, he immediately kicked his thin, long legs and swam over to her.
Sally’s heart stirred, and she glanced at Zi Qi, “Your Majesty, you should call him too, see who he goes to in the end.”
Zi Qi laughed, “Of course, it will be me. I am the one who’s with him every day.”
“Not necessarily,” Sally affirmed confidently.
Zi Qi squatted down and clapped his hands at Little Shiqi, “Come to Daddy Emperor.”
Little Shiqi glanced at him once, then continued to swim towards Sally. The result was quite clear.
Sally laughed out loud, “This is what we call ‘distant fragrance and near odor.’ I don’t accompany him often, but I’m the favorite.”
Zi Qi didn’t mind and smiled as he watched the mother and son frolic together, with Little Shiqi especially fond of licking Sally’s hand, asking for more of her touches.
With Little Shiqi in her arms, Sally said to Zi Qi, “Let him stay with me for a few days.”
“You’re not coming back to the palace with me?” Zi Qi’s smile faded away.
Sally replied, “There are too many rules in the palace.”
“What rules could there be? Besides, you will soon go to the Holy War; you’ll have even less time to be with him in the future.”
“The Holy War… Your Majesty, you really can’t go?” Sally looked at him, feeling more at ease with him there.
Zi Qi’s gaze fell on Little Shiqi, “Isn’t it only childless males who can participate?”
“I’ll keep Little Shiqi in the System Space. Maybe he could fool the detectors there.”
“… Ask Xiaomei.” Zi Qi was also really worried about Sally going to the Holy War.
[Xiaomei? Is it possible to hide Little Shiqi’s presence from the Holy War System?]
[It would be possible with the Insurance System, but it’s currently inaccessible.]
[What about inside the System Space? If it doesn’t work, you can create games—why not create another Insurance System just for Little Shiqi to stay in alone?]
[Perhaps we can give it a try.]
[Good, get on it as soon as possible.]
Sally said to Zi Qi, “Xiaomei said she’ll try.”
“Hmm.” Zi Qi pulled her into his embrace, “Accompany me to Linhai Park.”
“… Is this for your son’s hundredth-day celebration, or for you?” Sally was speechless.
But before she could refuse, Zi Qi took both her and the child to Linhai Park anyway.
Upon their arrival, Sally discovered that Zi Qi had already ordered people to prepare a sumptuous feast with even a cake ready, just waiting for their arrival.
“Has his month celebration passed?”
“Yes, it was held at the Imperial Palace. The Beast Emperors from the other three districts were there.”
“… Quite the grand affair. So for this hundred-day celebration, it’s just the three of us?” Sally opened the System Map and confirmed that there was indeed no fourth person within range.
Zi Qi took Little Shiqi from her arms, “Son, it’s time for your nap. When you wake up, your mother will continue playing with you.”
“Mother?” Sally looked at Zi Qi.
“What else if not mother?” Zi Qi gently patted Little Shiqi.
Little Shiqi obediently lay in his embrace, and with Zi Qi’s soothing patting, he fell asleep quickly.
Zi Qi placed him into a pram specially designed for cubs and rocked it gently; Little Shiqi fell into an even deeper sleep.
Sally looked at him in astonishment, “The way you take care of children is really… textbook level!”
Zi Qi: “…”
She could handle the older ones without a problem; they were sensible already. As for the little ones, especially Xiaoqi and Xiaoshi, sometimes there would be a flurry of chaos, and only Xiaomei could finally get them under control.
“Xiaoba takes no looking after from me, Xiaoqi is worth two, very crafty,” Zi Qi remembered Xiaoqi, his eyes showing deep concern and attachment.
Sally wrapped her arms around his lean waist, resting her face against his broad back, “You’ve had it tough, Xiaoqi is really not easy to manage.”
“It seems you’ve also had your headaches,” Zi Qi turned around to embrace her, then lifted her in a bridal carry and strode out.
Sally stretched out her hand to hook around his sexy neck, licking her lower lip, “Your Majesty, I want you.”
“Say it again!” Zi Qi bent his head, listening closely.
“I said, I want you,” Sally bit his ear as she arched toward him.
Zi Qi laughed, “Yanyan, it’s alright to be a little greedy.”
Sally’s confused heart settled down amid his breathtaking smile.
…
Sally: “Follow mommy and say, my name is Zi Yunxian.”
Little Shiqi: “Follow mommy and say, my name is Zi Yunxian.”
Sally: “Don’t read it, just follow mommy.”
Little Shiqi: “Don’t read just follow”
Sally: “Stop!”
Little Shiqi: “Stop!”
Sally: “…”
Little Shiqi, with his large purple beautiful eyes, looked at Sally, seeing that she seemed angry, he became a bit uneasy and looked toward his father who was reading a book.
Zi Qi picked up on his son’s distress signal, closed the book in his hands, and said to Sally, “Yanyan, I want to eat the food you cook.”
“Alright, you teach him how to speak, I’ll go cook,” Sally was also helpless.
In the System Space, when she took over the children, aside from Xiaoba and a few especially young ones, all could speak and even reason, particularly Putao, he was a true descendant of generations of teachers, capable of teaching his siblings to read as a mere child.
“Your Majesty!” Sally took a few steps and then paused.
Zi Qi looked towards her, “What’s the matter?”
“You all have taught the children very well!” Sally replied sincerely.
Zi Qi smiled, “Don’t mention it.”
Sally walked over and gave him a firm hug, “I’m off to cook now.”
After Sally left, Zi Qi, holding Little Shiqi, coaxed, “Our Little Shiqi is very good, let’s learn from your father, say, my name is Zi Yunxian.”
“My name is Zi Yunxian.”
“Mhm.” Zi Qi patted Little Shiqi’s head. “My father is called Zi Qi, and my mother is called Sally.”
“My father is called Zi Qi, and my mother is called Sally.”
“I love Daddy the most,” Zi Qi seduced.
“I love Mommy the most,” Little Shiqi replied.
“…So, were you teasing Mommy on purpose just now?” Zi Qi said with a laugh as he stroked Little Shiqi’s head.
Little Shiqi snugly rubbed against his palm, “Is Mommy angry?”
“No,” Zi Qi said as he held him and walked into the kitchen to watch Sally cook.
When Sally heard their footsteps, she looked towards them.
“Mommy is the prettiest!” Little Shiqi suddenly said.
Sally was momentarily stunned, then her face turned slightly red, “What a sweet-talker!”
“My father is called Zi Qi, my mother is called Sally, my name is Zi Yunxian, and I am the seventeenth in the family.”
“You’re still the best.” Sally looked admiringly at Zi Qi.
