…
The other children also received the same test papers, along with a notice about monthly exams.
Zi Qi delivered this ‘good news’ to the children.
The little cubs, who were in the midst of their meal, suddenly found their food unappetizing.
“The Empress Mother is being too harsh!” Xiaoqi was the first to jump up, “Father Emperor, you must do something about her!”
Zi Qi just smiled without saying a word.
Yona, Yohanes, and Frans continued eating silently with particularly solemn expressions.
As if cultivating wasn’t enough, now they had to take exams too!
…
Zong Residence.
Putao quickly finished the test paper.
After checking, Zong Silu found no errors, and the handwriting was very neat.
In the end, he put the test paper into a wooden box.
“From now on, after every exam, put the papers here. When your mother summons you, take them to her for marking,”
“Understood, Father,” Putao said as he picked up another book and began to read with relish.
Zong Silu patted his head and left.
Elder Zong asked, “An exam?”
“Yes,” Zong Silu nodded.
“How did it go? How many mistakes?”
“None. Her questions were too simple.”
“No good, I need to plan some more courses for little Putao.” Elder Zong went into the study to start restructuring Putao’s learning schedule.
Zong Silu flipped through the bookshelf in the living room and eventually picked out a dusty old book—”Nine. Mathematics.”
“Brother Putao—” Xiaohao’s voice came from outside the Zong Residence.
Putao immediately put down his book and left the room. Seeing Zong Silu in the living room, he said, “Brother Xiaohao is here.”
“Yes, let him in,” Zong Silu said with a warm smile.
Xiaohao came in carrying a school bag and greeted Zong Silu on his own initiative, “Hello, Uncle Zong. I’ve come to study with Putao. My mother gave me two test papers, and I don’t know how to do them.”
Zong Silu was surprised, “You don’t know how to do them?”
Xiaohao nodded, “That’s right, Putao always taught me before. So I came to him.”
“Go on, then,” Zong Silu watched as the two little ones went into the room and soon heard Putao teaching Xiaohao his lessons.
Zong Silu put away the “Nine. Mathematics” he had been reading. She was probably just trying to gauge the children’s ability.
Judging by Xiaohao’s reaction, it’s likely that most of the children wouldn’t know how to do the problems.
In that case, this book wasn’t needed for now.
It’s better to prepare a few books specifically for the cubs.
…
Ming Linyuan arrived at Beast Emperor Capital from Phoenix Cry Valley, looking disheveled.
On the way, he hitched a ride on a cargo cart.
The accompanying Welly had a mask on his face, looking at Ming Linyuan.
He had now witnessed another side of Ming Linyuan.
To get a glimpse of his children, he had knocked his head against Phoenix Cry Valley’s defense array until he bled!
But Madame Ming was hard-hearted; she wouldn’t even glance at her own son.
“Fourth Brother, how could Madame Ming…” He couldn’t help but voice the confusion in his heart.
Ming Linyuan sighed, “It’s all Zi Qi’s doing, claiming that the Demon Clan might harm my son!”
“What about your fourth brother now?” Welly understood and looked at Ming Linyuan with sympathy.
It was all to protect his grandson, even if it meant cutting ties with his own son.
“That’s why I need to find Zi Qi and have him talk to the Old Madam. I can’t let myself, his biological father, be unable to see my own son,” declared Ming Linyuan righteously.
Welly looked at him, “About that fourth brother, I have something I want… to ask you!” The words almost reached his lips before he subconsciously veered off.
“Say it,” Ming Linyuan replied.
Welly asked, “Is the Offspring System really that effective?”
Brushing some crushed grass off his knee, Ming Linyuan said, “Put it this way, it exists for the purpose of childbirth. As long as mating occurs, pregnancy is inevitable.”
Welly was shocked, remembering his encounter with Sally… but then he denied it to himself; he was from the Demon Clan. The Offspring System only ever produced offspring of the Beast Clan; there was no mention of the Demon Clan.
“Uncle, let me ask the driver.” Ming Linyuan called to the old man driving the carriage, “What’s the excitement in the Beast Emperor Capital right now?”
“Excitement? Are the two of you visiting the Beast Emperor Capital for the first time?”
“It’s my brother’s first visit.”
“No wonder. Talking about excitement, Beast Emperor’s Palace is buzzing! His Majesty suddenly has several more royal heirs, including a five-clawed Golden Dragon. Many people in the city have seen it, and it’s been out and about lately. If you’re lucky, you might get to see it,” the old coachman replied with a hearty laugh.
At the entrance to the Beast Emperor City, there is a Defense Array to drive off invasions of the Demon Clan.
Ming Linyuan dismounted from the carriage and gave the old coachman a few Gold Coins.
The old coachman drove off cheerfully into the city.
Ming Linyuan had no entry pass, and being from the Demon Clan, he was easily caught by the Array. He took out an Eastern District pass that Zi Qi had given him and handed it to the guard at the city gate.
After inspecting it, the guard asked them to wait while he checked the authenticity of the pass.
Once confirmed as genuine, the city gate was opened.
Just as Ming Linyuan was about to pass through, the demon-driving Array detected him, a member of the Demon Clan, and began to attack him with full strength.
Welly quickly protected Ming Linyuan, moving away from the Array, and the attacks stopped.
“Fourth brother, why don’t you send a message to the Beast Emperor?”
“Hmm.”
Soon they saw Yu Yan coming to meet them personally.
When Yu Yan saw Welly, he greeted him, “How have you been since you came back from the Holy War?”
Welly replied, “All right, how is she? Did she become the Holy Mother?”
“Of course. She was pregnant when we returned.”
Yu Yan’s words not only stunned Welly but also left Ming Linyuan dumbfounded, “You’re saying Yanyan is pregnant?”
“Yes, she’s already given birth now, to a very cute female Little Angel. But according to the Crown Princess, there seems to be a brother too, with a very fragile body, emitting a demonic aura all over.”
Welly’s body suddenly swayed, as if he couldn’t stand steady.
“Demonic aura? For real?” Welly steadied himself and asked Yu Yan eagerly.
Yu Yan was somewhat surprised by his reaction, paused for a moment, and then continued, “Actually, the Crown Princess and the others haven’t met the child, just instinctively felt that the aura he emitted made them uncomfortable. But there was one child who came into contact with him, the young master of the Pei Residence, who took a photo with him on his back.”
“What’s a photo?” Welly asked.
“Well, you’ll understand when you see the photos at the Beast Emperor’s Palace. However, His Majesty seems to think that the child might be a Fallen Angel.”
“Fallen Angel?” Ming Linyuan said, “My sixth sister is a Fallen Angel, I’ve seen her with two pairs of black wings that emitted a demonic aura.”
Welly stared intently at Yu Yan, “I want to see that photo, the one with the child.”
Yu Yan shook his head in response, “That might be difficult because they did not bring that photo back with them.”
…
Sally lifted Little Fengning out of her space.
Upon seeing the child, Qing Linghuan’s expression turned very serious, “Who knows about this child?”
“My children, plus Frans and yourself. But aside from you and me, no one knows his true identity.”
