Chapter 400: Chapter 398: He misses you so much it’s driving him crazy
Zi Qi hurried over upon hearing Little Miqi’s cries.
Seeing that Sally had returned, she quickly said, “I’ll take care of this.”
At the sight of Sally and Zi Qi, a bunch of little ones immediately lined up obediently.
Little Miqi, frightened, held back her tears, her little mouth pursed in a pitiful pout, making her irresistibly funny and adorable.
Sally, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but laugh again.
She lifted the little one from the stroller and asked Yona, “What happened?”
Among these children, the most sensible were Yona and Shishi—the sisters might have low talents, but their emotional and intellectual quotient were the best.
Yona observed Sally’s expression, noticing she didn’t seem angry, and replied honestly, “Xiaoqi fed Little Miqi a strip of jerky for teething. Little brother Xiaojiu took it away, and that made Little Miqi cry.”
“…That’s it?”
“Yes, mother.”
Sally turned to Xiaojiu, who was hanging his head in a guilty manner, “So why did Xiaojiu snatch the jerky from his sister?”
“I was hungry, and father insists on making me diet, so he won’t let me eat my fill,” Xiaojiu touched his round belly. It looked round, but in reality, he was all skin and bones, famished inside.
Sally frowned, “That won’t do. What’s wrong with being a little chubby? If he can’t afford to feed you—”
“I’ll provide!” Zi Qi immediately declared, “Keeping all four here is absolutely no problem.”
Sally, looking at him, chuckled, “Alright then, these four will stay with you for the time being; it just so happens I have a little something to take care of over there.”
Zi Qi knew she was referring to the issue with the Birth Virus, “Mhm.”
Upon hearing they could stay and play with Xiaoqi and the others, Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, and Little Shisan cheered happily. Little Miqi, nestled in Sally’s arms, became especially well-behaved, not crying or fussing, and slowly fell asleep.
Sally cradled her, gently swaying, looked at the still-queued children, and asked Zi Qi, “Is dinner ready?”
“Yes, I came here to call them to the Shangshan Hall for the meal,” he replied.
Sally said to the little ones, “Off you go, the meal is ready.”
Immediately, the group of little ones scrambled off.
“Let me hold the child,” Zi Qi extended his hands.
Sally handed Little Miqi over to her, “The Birth Virus has been eliminated, but unlike last time, the Phantom Demon Beast didn’t self-destruct along with the virus. According to Xiaomei, they can only survive for a month. Recently, strengthen the Defense Barrier of Beast Emperor City a bit more; that Qiar Shar is a bit tricky.”
“Tricky?” Zi Qi inquired.
Sally showed him a video clip of Qiar Shar, who, after being split in half by a Wind Blade, grew tentacles that reconnected its severed parts.
Zi Qi explained, “Qiar Shar is the progeny of the Demon Emperor and a human-faced demon spider. He won’t die even if you chop off his head; it requires the Fire Element Secret Technique.”
“Mhm, he seems to have quite the hostility towards you.”
“There probably isn’t anyone in the Dark Continent who isn’t hostile towards me now,” he remarked.
“Be careful not to slip up,” Sally stretched lazily, “I’m going to Linhai Park for a soak. Afterwards, I’ll come back and grade the kids’ papers.”
“You’ve worked hard,” Zi Qi said, leaning down to kiss her forehead.
Sally looked at him with a coquettish smile, “Well, I’m off then.”
…
On the Holy Capital Continent.
Sally arrived at the Holy Palace.
Seeing her alone, Frans blinked his beautiful emerald eyes, “Where are the children?”
“Didn’t your letter say that the situation here is very serious? So I thought it must be dangerous, and decided to leave the children over there,” she explained.
“What?” Frans was dumbfounded.
“But I took a stroll down the main street, and it seemed like everything was fine. I asked a few shop owners with booming business, and they said they didn’t know anything about a virus, nor have they seen any Abyssal Beasts since the Holy War ended,” Sally said with a smile in her eyes as she looked at him.
Frans became nervous, “That… I, I experienced the insect disaster before the time reversal, so I’m a bit overcautious. Having you here, I feel more secure.”
“Oh?” Sally’s voice drew out, “So, you exaggerated the matter with the childbirth virus.”
“He’s lying to you.” Luo Chuan suddenly appeared, holding a half-red, half-green fruit, and took a crunching bite.
Sally asked, “Let’s hear it.”
“Luo Chuan! Shut up!” Frans urgently warned.
Luo Chuan chuckled mischievously, as if he could ever shut up, and said to Sally, “He’s been pining for you so badly, just pamper him a bit, or else I’ll die of annoyance.”
Frans rushed at him and they started brawling, “I told you not to say, yet you still do.”
Sally understood what was going on and watched them fight with amusement.
Cesselin brought over Sally’s favorite sweet fruit, “The Queen, please enjoy.”
“Thank you.” Sally grabbed a bright red fruit and tossed it to Frans.
Frans caught it immediately, then used his spiritual power to peel it and respectfully handed it back to Sally, “I might have exaggerated a bit, but it wasn’t like what Luo Chuan said.”
“Really? So, you don’t miss me,” Sally bit into the sour and sweet flesh of the fruit, looking at Luo Chuan, who now had a swollen face.
Was this guy’s combat strength so low now? When he had pretended to be Zephis Herman I, she thought he was quite formidable. Now it seemed Frans could beat him into a pig’s head with no effort…
“If he doesn’t miss you, I’ll chop off my own head,” Luo Chuan groaned in pain.
“Then chop.” Frans handed him a knife.
Luo Chuan: “…I’m leaving. So fickle, when did I fail to see you for the angel you are?”
With that, he teleported away. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Frans put away the knife and continued to explain to Sally, “That thing, about the childbirth virus, I predicted it, so I had Luo Chuan eliminate it before it became a problem.”
“That’s what I thought. Continent 9908’s list that 000 gave me was arranged according to the level of crisis. Yours was ranked quite low, yet your letter made it sound serious,” Sally stepped closer to him.
Her tone suddenly became stern, “Lying isn’t good, I hate liars the most.”
Frans’ face turned pale, “I won’t do it again. Are the kids…?”
“Do you think I would hand the children over to someone I dislike?” Sally still looked at him expressionlessly.
Frans panicked completely, “Yanyan.”
“Pff~Haha, I’m just teasing you.” Sally couldn’t help but laugh out loud, patting his shoulder, “Don’t do it again, I was really scared for a moment. Not just you, I felt the same.”
Frans froze, then his expression was filled with remorse.
“I am happy you miss me. And I’m glad that you predicted the childbirth virus in advance. Over at Continent 9908, there was also a childbirth virus. But because of the chaos in the Dark Continent, it exploited the chaos and caused a bit of trouble.”
“I’m sorry, Yanyan, I swear I won’t do it again.”
“Yes, the ability to correct your mistakes is indeed great,” Sally looked up into his eyes with a gentle and charming voice, “I miss you too!”
Frans’ breath became slightly unsteady, but thinking of the children, he still held back, “Little Miqi and the others?”
“I’ve already spoken to Zi Qi. Until next month’s exam is over, they’ll all be there. He likes children just like you, especially these four of yours, such adorable little angels.”
“…”
Frans regretted!
He was green with regret.
