Chapter 362: Chapter 360: I Give Birth to Them, I Raise Them!
“His true father doesn’t know either?”
“No, I haven’t told him, nor have I seen him since then. Moreover, he dislikes being a member of the Demon Clan and is desperately trying to shed his demonic form, so he probably wouldn’t like this child.”
“The Primordial Demon is the natural enemy of all Divine Clans, also known as the Godslayer Clan. Upon sighting one, it must be eliminated.” Qing Linghuan looked at the skinny and small infant, those dark, cavernous eyes that admitted no light, or rather, any light that entered would be transformed into that devouring blackness.”
“…” Sally recalled her own little ones, especially the Divine Beast Baby, who had been the farthest from Little Fengning at that time.
Only she and Zulu’s three children, along with Xiaohao, did not reject Little Fengning.
“Your daughter even bared her teeth at him…”
“The greater the talent, the more keenly the danger of the Primordial Demon can be sensed.”
“So I must hide and raise this child.” Sally took Little Fengning back into her spatial ring. If she left him out, Qing Linghuan might even attack!
Qing Linghuan discovered he could no longer sense Little Fengning’s presence, “This space of yours is quite good.”
“Yes, Xiaomei prepared it especially for him.”
“But the growth of a Primordial Demon is fraught with disaster. Have you really thought it through, willing to raise him by yourself?”
“I gave birth to him, I’ll raise him!” Sally looked up at Qing Linghuan, “Perhaps I initially conceived him as a key. But once he was born, he is my son, and I won’t abandon any of my children.”
Qing Linghuan knew she would say this, “If you don’t want him to be discovered by the Divine Clan before he grows up, you must completely hide him. Relying on this space alone is not enough, the best place for him would be the Asura Realm.”
“The Asura Realm?” Sally frowned.
“The Primordial Demon itself has no talents, but as he grows older, he will awaken the inheritance of the Primordial Demon—Devouring. He can arbitrarily devour and take all the innate secret techniques from the world and make them his own.”
“What?” Sally stared wide-eyed.
“So, he can’t be with the other children, otherwise, their talents will be taken by him. Such plundering can sometimes occur outside of will control. Maybe just by playing a game together, the innate secret techniques could be taken by the Primordial Demon.”
…
Beast Emperor’s Palace.
A group of little ones whispered among themselves, discussing how to deal with the exam their mother had set for them.
Zi Yuan came to find Zi Qi to discuss matters of the Divine Beast Academy.
Just as she entered the hall, she saw a group of little beast cubs piled on the ground, each one cuter and more endearing than the last, irresistible.
Zi Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up, forgetting why she had come to the palace.
She rushed toward the cubs, “That, I… I am Zi Yuan, the headmistress of the Divine Beast Academy, the aunt of Zi Yunxian.”
Zi Yuan, who doesn’t remember Xiaoqi and the others now, adores these cubs from the bottom of her heart.
Xiaoqi cocked her head and looked at Zi Yuan, “Does auntie not recognize Xiaoqi anymore?”
“Xiaoqi?” Zi Yuan looked at her.
Putao also performed a courteous bow, “Greetings, Headmistress.”
Xiaohao, having attended the Divine Beast Academy for a few days, also recognized Zi Yuan, “Greetings, Headmistress. Manman will be back in a few days.”
Xiaojin swam around on Xiaoba’s eggshell, obviously recognizing Zi Yuan as well.
Yona, Yohanes, and Frost, though they did not know Zi Yuan, had heard plenty from Xiaoqi and were aware of Zi Yuan’s status, performing polite bows.
Zi Yuan was baffled, feeling like she had missed out on countless Crystal Coins. What was going on?
Voices from outside entered.
Zi Yuan heard Zi Qi’s voice and rushed over immediately.
“Your Majesty! I have a belly full of questions, only you can answer them.” Zi Yuan grabbed Zi Qi’s arm directly.
Accompanying Zi Qi, Ming Linyuan smiled, “It’s been a long time, Headmistress. You’ve become even more beautiful.”
“Huh? The Fourth Demon King, what are you doing here instead of staying in the Dark Continent?” Zi Yuan glanced at him, “Don’t tell me you were actually banished from the clan by the old lady Ming?”
Ming Linyuan’s forehead throbbed with pain, this sharp tongue—always mentioning what should not be brought up.
Zi Qi said to Zi Yuan, “We’ll talk about it later, today we have an honored guest.”
Only then did Zi Yuan notice Welly Shar, who was wearing a mask and following behind Ming Linyuan.
“Who might this be?”
“Welly Shar, the Fifth Demon King,” Ming Linyuan introduced.
Zi Yuan was aware of who Welly was, “A mix of Human Clan and Demon Emperor.” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Hearing about someone is not as good as seeing them. Director Zi Yuan is even more elegant, noble, young, and beautiful than the rumors,” Welly said, his left hand over his chest, bowing slightly.
The most pleasant thing for Zi Yuan to hear now was others saying she was young!
She coughed lightly, her face blooming like a lotus, and stood up straighter, “You flatter me too much; come on in please.”
Pei Xuan and Zong Silu arrived a step later. They saw Zi Yuan, who had offhandedly called out “Director” with none of the politeness that Welly Shar had shown.
Zi Yuan grabbed the shoulders of Zong Silu and Pei Xuan, “The two of you, is there something you are hiding from me?”
“What?” Pei Xuan did not react immediately.
Having seen her rushing out of the hall before, and knowing the children were playing inside, Zong Silu had a rough idea what she meant.
“You two, since when do you have offspring?!”
…
Ming Linyuan, upon seeing the group of little ones playing inside, could not help but have his eyes bulge, “Your Majesty, where did these come from? Stolen?!”
Zi Qi smiled, “She gave birth to them. You’ll understand once Manman is back.”
“Who is Manman?” Ming Linyuan asked.
“Uncle Ming!” Xiaoqi saw Ming Linyuan, her eyes suddenly shining like gold, and she Teleported right onto Ming Linyuan’s shoulder, “I’ve missed you so much!”
The unspoken message—any gifts?!
Although Ming Linyuan didn’t understand why the child knew him, years of business had honed his social skills to an instinct, so he immediately took out two large treasure chests brimming with various treasures from the Spatial Ring he wore on his left thumb.
He seldom gave them away, but he was quite happy to give gifts to this little one.
Xiaoqi immediately called her siblings over, “Come on, Uncle Ming is giving us presents.”
Seeing Ming Linyuan take out a bounty of treasures for the little ones to pick from, Welly felt a novel sense of embarrassment at his own frugality.
Xiaoqi, pushing a blue orb larger than herself, rolled it towards Welly, “Hello Uncle, I’m giving you this orb. Can I see what you look like?”
Welly had no gifts to offer in return, and it would be too much if he denied even this small request.
He knelt down, his voice gentle and soft, “Uncle doesn’t need your orb.”
He raised his hand and removed the mask from his face.
Ming Linyuan had never seen the true face of this Fifth Brother either, as he had been masked since their first meeting.
Therefore, when Welly took off his mask, Ming Linyuan also stared in surprise, “Uh! Now I see why you wore a mask.”
A mask can hide both ugliness and beauty…
Zi Qi’s eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts turning to a certain lustful woman… With such charm and good looks, she would surely not let it go!
Xiaoqi’s eyes, peering through the mask, had seen that Welly was a great beauty, which is why she asked him to take it off.
“Uncle is really handsome, your eyes look a lot like those of our Twentieth Brother~” After saying this, Xiaoqi rolled the orb away again.
Yet, her words were like a thunderclap that not only struck Welly but also made Zi Qi suddenly realize something.
