Phoenix Cry Valley.
Manman mumbled to herself while incubating an egg, “You’d better not come out, or you’ll have to take the monthly exam. Mom’s questions are really hard. I only passed because I snuck a look at several of my brother’s questions. I don’t know if Little Miqi will come next time to distract Mom’s attention a bit more…”
Lady Ming came to see Little Shiba and Manman and happened to hear Manman’s words. She hurriedly said, “Little ancestor, don’t scare your brother.”
“Huh?” Manman looked at Lady Ming, “Grandma, what are you talking about?”
“Your brother can hear you,” Lady Ming thought to herself, the eggshell would emit a joyous glow when she was telling stories to Little Shiba.
But now, not only was there no glow, but the eggshell also seemed very calm.
It must have understood.
Manman looked down at the egg, “If you understand, move a bit for your sister.”
Little Shiba didn’t move at all.
“See, he doesn’t understand,” Manman told Lady Ming.
Lady Ming, “…”
If he did move, it would be time to hatch!
Suddenly, Lady Ming’s face changed drastically, and she teleported away.
Manman also wanted to see what was going on, but she was ordered by Lady Ming to protect Little Shiba. Transforming into a huge Phoenix Bird, she flew into the sky.
Hovering in the sky, she surveyed the entire Phoenix Cry Valley and eventually found demonic energy and spatial fluctuations in a very remote part of the woods.
Lady Ming dashed downward, heading straight toward the demonic energy.
A not yet recovered spatial rift provided Lady Ming with a clear view of Little Shiyi being taken away by a humanoid Demon Beast!
…
Sally received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Lady Ming.
Upon learning that Little Shiyi had been kidnapped by the Demon Clan, she summoned him back in the next instant.
Zi Qi was also very worried when he first learned of it. Just as he was about to send people to the Dark Continent, before he could even summon anyone, Little Shiyi was already back in Sally’s arms.
“…” This summoning feature was seriously powerful! As long as Sally was around, the children’s safety was assured.
Little Shiyi recounted the experience to Sally.
He was lured by a treasure and had just entered the woods when a Phantom Demon Beast kidnapped him. It so happened that he also wanted to go to the Dark Continent to find his father, so he followed along.
He had just arrived in Wanmo City when he was summoned to the Beast Emperor’s Palace.
Phantom Demon Beast? Sally looked at Zi Qi in surprise, “The Offspring Virus is dead, there are still Phantom Demon Beasts left?”
“Little Shiyi, how do you recognize a Phantom Demon Beast?” Zi Qi asked.
Little Shiyi replied, “I’ve seen it in the game.”
Sally told Zi Qi, “It’s the game Xiaomei created, ‘The Lost Frontier’. Most of its data comes from my experiences.”
“Xiaoqi also mentioned that game. I think it’s quite interesting. Can we take it out? It might serve as a virtual training ground for military training.”
“I’ll ask Xiaomei. After all, it’s her creation, and if we’re to use it in reality, we’ll need her to make all the related hardware, like game consoles.”
“Hmm.” Zi Qi took Little Shiyi from her arms.
The chubby Little Shiyi yawned, “Uncle Zi, Little Shiyi is sleepy.”
“Alright, sleep then.” Zi Qi stroked him and then handed him back to Sally, “Let him go back to the space pod.”
Sally did as she was told and put Little Shiyi into the Spatial Egg Pod.
The little guy didn’t fall asleep right away after entering the pod. Noticing Little Fengning and Xiaohao both wearing gaming helmets, his eyes lit up, and he too put on a helmet and entered the game.
Sally smiled, “He’s off to play games.”
Zi Qi pulled her into his arms, “Yanyan.”
“What is it?” Sally looked up at him.
“Nothing, just let me hold you for a while.”
“Oh, how about hugging like this?” Sally’s hands deftly slipped inside his clothes.
Zi Qi’s breathing became slightly erratic, but he still caught her hand, “You’ve been too tired these past few days.”
Just dealing with Pei Xuan was enough to exhaust anyone.
Sally stopped moving.
Although her body had no issues at all, especially with the Offspring System, she could be said to be exceptionally robust. According to Xiaomei, as long as she wished, she could be even more potent than those bound to the Pure Desire System.
But Zi Qi’s tender love and care were a form of emotional fulfillment for her, incomparable to mere physical satisfaction.
“Qi, I can’t be without you. So, I’ll save up points diligently.”
“Heh, what do points have to do with me?”
“You can never be too careful, right? If something were to happen to you when I’m not around… that’s why I need to protect you properly. My own strength is just so-so, wavering between self-preservation and barely adequate. To really do anything, I still need Xiaomei’s help. And activating Xiaomei requires points,” Sally looked at him, “Taking good care of yourself is like protecting me.”
Zi Qi was silent for a long while before he sighed softly, “I never imagined that I, the mighty Beast Emperor, would need to protect myself first in order to protect my partner.”
“Yes.” Sally lifted her left wrist, where a light purple ring-shaped mark, delicate and cute like a bracelet, was engraved—it was left by Zi Qi.
“Speaking of which, what should we do about Little Shiyi being kidnapped?”
“It should be related to Ming Linyuan. I’ll deal with him. For now, let Little Shiyi stay in the space for a while and pretend that she has indeed been kidnapped.”
“Should we inform Mrs. Ming about this?”
“We can, but it’s best if she puts on a show of Little Shiyi being forcefully kidnapped by the Demon Clan.”
“Right. Also, I want to take a trip to the Asura Realm to see that cheap master of mine.”
“The Asura Realm?” Zi Qi frowned immediately; it was a place beyond his capability.
“I’ve reached a bottleneck with my ‘Supreme One Technique’ and want my master to give me some guidance. Also, there’s Little Fengning’s matter—he’s growing faster than I anticipated, so should we restrain him a bit?”
“I’ll accompany you,” Zi Qi said.
“The Asura Realm is filled with foul air. I always transform into my Beast Body and have Xiaomei protect me, and I still have to hide everywhere, barely daring to breathe, always ready to flee. You are a Spiritual Beast, and pollution aside, I couldn’t bear it if anything happened to you.”
Thinking of having to leave him for a while, Sally eventually pinned him down…
She must eat her fill before she could practice cultivation with peace of mind!
******
A pitch-black little rat squatted on a bald boulder, squinting and dozing off.
Suddenly, it opened its eyes as another rat, identical to it except in color and gender, scurried towards it, huffing and puffing.
“Master~ you!” Sally was taken aback to see a little rat that looked just like her except in color and gender.
“This Beast Body of my disciple is quite handy indeed!”
After Qing said this, he leaped off the rock and started running ahead.
Sally barely kept up, “I’ve been dyed black before too. At first glance, I thought my soul had left my body.”
“Hehe~ you’re not pregnant, are you?” Qing glanced at her flat belly.
Sally rolled her eyes, “Children come from essence, not abundance! Moreover, my attitude towards children is to raise them well if I have them.”
“Then you’re quite rare.”
“Right? You’re proud of your disciple, aren’t you, master?”
“Not at all.”
“…”
“Silly disciple.”
“How am I silly? I’m very clever!”
“Raising children is a Father Beast’s job; what are you meddling for?”
“Father and mother, there should be both a father and a mother, and the mother needs to be involved too!”
The black and white rats ran and bickered with each other…
