Chapter 365: Chapter 363: The Great Patron of Innate Secret Techniques
Sally’s talent originated from the scrolls she received after giving birth.
She focused on upgrading her Fire Element, though she also had others, all of which were quite low. The Wind Element that was taken from her was of the Red Rank.
“I’ve already started consuming talent.” Sally took out a handful of Talent Scrolls that she had not opened, the 70 scrolls that the System gave her when she gave birth to Little Fengning.
There were also those she had saved up before, a total of 286, and there were also 193 from the Birth Gift Pack that she hadn’t opened.
“Yes, Host.” Xiaomei replied, “But because he is still young, the level of the talents he’s devouring is very low. Host’s Fire Attribute Talent has already advanced to Saint Rank, which he can’t handle yet. However, if we leave him be and let him devour indiscriminately, it will happen sooner or later.”
Sally took all the scrolls out and sorted them by category, “Eat up, eat up. Whether it’s with talents or with grains, fruits, and meats, it’s only right for a mother to provide for her own child.”
Then she opened the scrolls one by one.
In Sally’s body, a variety of Innate Secret Techniques soon accumulated. In addition to water, wood, earth, and wind, there were also Special Element Strengthening Secret Techniques, Decay Secret Techniques, Mask Secret Techniques, Mimicry Secret Techniques, Drawing Secret Techniques, Hundred Poisons Secret Techniques, Softening Secret Techniques…
The levels of the talents were either Red Rank or Green Rank, with the highest being Blue Rank.
Apart from the God Rank scrolls, Sally opened all the others, becoming quite a collector of innate secret techniques!
“This should be enough for him to consume for a while, right?”
“Yes, Host. However, as he continues to feed, the level of talent he requires will also increase. Host might consider listening to Qing Linghuan.”
“Are you saying I should send him to the Asura Realm?”
“Yes. There are many Evil Divine Beasts there, whose talents are not only high-level but also consist of relatively ancient secret techniques which are more suitable for the growth of a Primordial Demon.”
“Going to the Asura Realm… I’ll think about it.” Sally suddenly smiled again, “He won’t devour you as a talent too, will he?”
“Xiaomei is bound to the host through both soul and body, so even if the host dies, the only way I can be reset is through the Offspring System to become a seed for the System again.”
“Soul and body… Xiaomei, if you were a guy, I’d definitely be good to you.” Sally teased Xiaomei.
“Host is forbidden from teasing this System!”
“Hahaha…” Sally moved Little Fengning out of the Space System.
The infant looked extremely frail in human form. However, now asleep, he did not wake up with every movement as before, remaining exceedingly vigilant.
“Looking at him, I’m reminded of Little Shiliu. She should be able to walk by now, right? Can I see her?”
“Host needs to spend 50,000 points. Xiaomei can try to access the video records from there.”
“Then can I try sending something over?”
“No, we can only receive data. That child was originally flawed, and I used data to repair her completely, leaving behind a data port for the link. But she is still young, and it’s best not to use it often.”
“Okay, thank you, Xiaomei. I just want to see a little bit.”
…
On the large bed, Sally held Little Fengning against her back, almost clinging to the edge of the bed, away from the other children.
Little Fengning lay in her arms, clutching tightly onto her clothes, sleeping deeply.
Gradually, Sally too began to feel sleepy and closed her eyes for a nap.
Qing Linghuan entered through the door.
Seeing Sally holding Little Fengning, he approached.
As he neared, Little Fengning woke up.
His dark eyes stared at Qing Linghuan, filled with wariness.
When Qing Linghuan saw him, he noticed the new Red Rank Wind Element Talent and his expression shifted slightly. Then he looked at Sally…
At this look, he was stunned!
There was Sally, covered in low-level innate secret techniques… clearly, she considered herself ‘food’!
He sighed softly in pain, tenderly touched Sally’s face, and said with immense pity, “You’ve given birth to a huge burden and still can’t bear to let go… You’re going to ruin yourself sooner or later.”
…
When Sally woke up, all the children except for Little Fengning had already left the bed.
“Qing Linghuan took the other children away.”
“…”
“We’ve received the video from Earth. Do you want to watch it, Host?”
“Yes.”
ZH Grand Hotel now sported the Qin Consortium’s emblem, obviously having been acquired.
The luxury suite that Sally once lived in now belonged to Qin Mo.
Qin Mo propped up a chubby little dough ball against the luxurious long sofa.
Then he opened his arms, “Little Shiliu, come here.”
The round chubby dough ball, a spitting image of him, needed no paternity test; anyone could see that Little Shiliu was his daughter.
“Daddy—” Her voice was milky and so pleasant it was intoxicating.
“Yes, Little Shiliu.” Qin Mo’s face was all smiles, but his eyes were filled with nervousness, “You can do it!”
Little Shiliu struggled to take a small step, then fell softly onto the plush carpet.
Qin Mo rushed over to pick up his daughter.
“Daddy, Cake~”
“Okay.”
Qin Mo carried her into the kitchen, which had been left unchanged since Sally’s time.
He opened the refrigerator, to the frozen layer.
Inside there was a frozen cake, each piece of fruit on top fresh as if they were just picked.
One corner was missing.
Qin Mo cut a small piece for Little Shiliu to eat.
This was the last birthday cake Sally had made for him.
He couldn’t bring himself to eat it, and today, Little Shiliu’s first birthday, he finally came over and cut a little bit for her.
“Daddy eat, sweet.” Little Shiliu fed Qin Mo a spoonful of the ice cream-like cream.
“Mm.” Qin Mo took a bite, “Happy first birthday, Little Shiliu! Shall we do the first birthday Grabbing ritual later?”
“Yes.”
After finishing the cake, Little Shiliu snuggled in Qin Mo’s arms and yawned herself to sleep.
…
After watching the video, Sally was silent for a long time before she looked down at the little Fengning in her arms, “He’s too thin, Little Shiliu’s arms are becoming like lotus roots.”
“He’s only fifty-two days old.” Xiaomei replied.
Little Fengning moved his mouth.
“Host, he’s hungry.”
“Right, help me prepare more formula milk. I refuse to believe I can’t fatten him up! In Beast World, if I can’t compete with a Beast Husband, that’s one thing, but if I lose to Qin Mo, that great sand pig, I’d be utterly frustrated.”
“Host, keep going.”
“Of course!”
After feeding Little Fengning, Sally watched him fall asleep before taking him into her Space, “Xiaomei, keep an eye on him for me. If he’s hungry, feed him milk. I refuse to believe I can’t get him chubby.”
“…”
Qing Linghuan came in and, seeing Sally’s unconvinced look, joked, “Did you have an unsatisfactory dream?”
“Pretty much.” Sally stretched out her arm, “Linghuan, hug me.”
Qing Linghuan quickly looked behind him, saw no one, then closed the door and also set up a soundproof barrier.
Sounds could come in from outside, but no sounds from inside could get out.
“I thought, after having a child, you’d abstained from desire!” Qing Linghuan had been in Holy Palace for so long, and Sally had not once engaged in intimate behavior with him.
Of course, she hadn’t with Frans either.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so calm, waiting all this time.
Sally laughed seductively, “How could I abstain? In this life, I could give up food, but I’ll never give up desire.”
Qing Linghuan picked her up and headed to the bedroom in the next room.
Just as they entered, they heard Manman’s crisp voice shout from outside, “Mom—There’s an unfamiliar uncle looking for you—”
An unfamiliar uncle…
With his desire still unquelled, Qing Linghuan gritted his teeth, “Sally! How many males have you attracted, exactly?”
Sally looked innocent, “Not at all. Even if you don’t believe me, you should believe the number of children!”
