Chapter 460: Chapter 458: It’s Perfect Because of You!
…
Sally was holding Little Fengning as she arrived at a clearing.
As the number of children increased, she planned on building an amusement park, also for the youngsters of the Beast Emperor Capital to play.
Pei Xuan had just emerged from seclusion and took over the amusement park project; now, he was almost always together with Sally. Xiaohao was also playing nearby, and he was trying out every amusement facility.
Little Fengning’s fondness for Xiaohao couldn’t be matched by his other siblings, and Xiaohao also liked to bring Little Fengning along.
This was why Sally’s bookstore trip came about.
Little Fengning followed Xiaohao, playing whatever he played, lively and incredibly adorable.
“Why didn’t Welly come along?” Pei Xuan helped her hold the parasol.
Sally replied, “What can I say about him? It’s fine occasionally to tease him a bit and take advantage of his good looks, but I get apprehensive when things go deeper.”
“He seems to have a good temper,” Pei Xuan said, although he had not spent much time with him. However, Ming Linyuan had mentioned that he was not bad.
Sally glanced at him, “Take my advice, you better not work with him in the future.”
“Heh, the difference between him and me is too great; it’s also rather difficult for us to intersect,” Pei Xuan looked up at the sky. More rain clouds were gathering, “Let’s take the children back to the Beast Emperor’s Palace, it looks like it is going to rain again.”
“I want to stay at your place for a couple of days, do you have space?” Sally squinted her eyes, her gaze hooking onto Pei Xuan’s soul.
Pei Xuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “Yes, there’s plenty of space.”
“Then let’s go back,” Sally called out to the two children.
Little Fengning didn’t want to leave and was eventually brought back with his clothes gently taken in Xiaohao’s mouth.
…
After locking the bookstore door, Welly proceeded to the backyard.
First, he entered the kitchen, started a fire to boil water, and cooked porridge, appearing just like any ordinary person.
Once the porridge was on the stove, he went to the storeroom to sort out the newly arrived books, categorizing them properly. After finishing, he came out of the storeroom, and it had begun to drizzle outside.
He raised his hand and cast a protective barrier to envelop the storeroom, preventing the dampness from the rain from seeping in and wetting the books.
“If homemaking were a form of cultivation, you would definitely score full marks,” Sally said, holding Little Fengning at the doorway of the kitchen, her eyes brimming with laughter.
Little Fengning had played until he was tired and had fallen asleep in her arms.
Welly took Little Fengning into his arms from her and looked into her eyes, earnestly saying, “It’s only a full score with you!”
Sally’s eyes, dark as the starlit pearls, trembled slightly, and it took her a while to smile with one side of her lips, “No, it’s with Little Fengning.”
Welly suddenly laughed as well, with a touch of nonchalance, “I knew I couldn’t deceive you.”
“I’m off, I’ll come by and play with you guys later,” Sally waved her hand and teleported away.
The smile on Welly’s face completely dissipated, he said something softly, but it was drowned out by the sound of the rain…
…
Western District.
Zulu emerged from the Beast Forest.
He had grown much leaner in form, but his eyes, brimming with spiritual light, announced that he had entered the Spirit Rank.
Whether it was his lifespan or his future cultivation base, he had stepped into another realm.
For Sally, Zulu was still the Beast Husband with the lowest cultivation base.
But to the Rabbit Tribe, he was the second tribesman to reach the Spirit Rank, following his son Frost Millet, who had been recorded into the Rat Clan’s family tree. Yet, he was also inscribed in the Rabbit Clan’s family tree, a source of family pride to be passed down to future generations!
Zulu first made a trip back to the Rabbit Tribe.
He informed the Clan Leader that he had entered the Spirit Rank.
The Clan Leader almost fainted and had to swallow a calming pill before he could ask Zulu in disbelief, “Really? You’ve entered the Spirit Rank?”
Zulu knelt on the ground, bowing to the Clan Leader.
After performing the kowtow, he said, “Yes, father. But I have not been filial; I might have to leave the Western District.”
The old Clan Leader knew what he meant, he had always wanted to go to the Eastern District to find Sally.
It was just that his cultivation base was too low, perhaps any ordinary civilian might have a higher Innate Secret Technique than him, so he wanted to enter the Spirit Rank before heading to the Eastern District.
“Go, my child must journey afar, soaring through the skies like a mighty eagle,” the old Clan Leader’s eyes shimmered with tears, for this was his offspring!
And his granddaughters and grandsons, too, were the treasures of the Rat Clan and Rabbit Clan.
“Thank you, Father, I will often bring the children back.”
“Good, good, don’t worry about the clan or Millet’s side, focus on cultivating. Dad is waiting for the better news from you.”
“Your son will keep this in mind,” Zulu bowed again.
Afterward, Zulu returned to the Rat Clan.
He said his goodbyes to Auro Millet and Robby as well, just when he was about to head for the Teleportation Array, Robby’s wife received the joyous news, she was pregnant.
Zulu too was happy for Robby. Because Galian had poisoned Robby and after the Witch Clan had healed him, he still felt very inferior.
Now that they had a child, he could finally let go of the grudge in his heart.
Zulu waved goodbye to his clansmen and left the Western District.
…
When Zulu stepped out of the Teleportation Array, he found himself standing before a palace even more magnificent and majestic than the Beast Emperor’s Palace in the Western District.
Outside the palace, there were soldiers donned in silver armor, looking formidable and imposing.
Upon noticing him, a soldier first paused, then approached politely to inquire about Zulu’s identity.
Upon learning Zulu came from the Rat Clan of the Western District, and especially the name, Zulu Deira, which was the exact name His Majesty had instructed them to be on the lookout for, the soldier immediately escorted him to meet with His Majesty.
Zi Qi had just finished discussing state affairs with the Ministers when he stepped out of the hall and spotted Zulu.
Clothed in the distinctive rough-leather attire of the Western District clans, he was well-built with a light brown complexion, handsome features, but his expression carried a distinct unease.
Zi Qi dismissed the ministers and personally went to greet Zulu, “When did you arrive?”
Zulu replied, “Just now. Your Imperial Palace is much bigger than the one in the Western District.”
Yu Yan also came by, saying familiarly, “Why didn’t you send me a message? I would have come to receive you personally.”
“No need, no need, I could make it here by myself,” Zulu replied with a simple smile.
Zi Qi ordered someone to immediately go to the Divine Beast Academy and bring all the kids back, and also to send a Sound Transmission Talisman to Sally, informing her of Zulu’s arrival.
Sally was with Little Fengning and Xiaohao, planting flowers in the amusement park.
She was dripping with sweat when she received the message.
Upon hearing the content of the Sound Transmission Talisman, she immediately dropped the flower trowel in her hand, “Pei Xuan—”
Pei Xuan, holding a blueprint, teleported over, “What’s happened?”
Sally said, “Zulu has arrived, I’m taking the kids back to the palace.”
Pei Xuan put away the blueprint in his hand, “Okay, then I’ll come over later with Welly to meet him.”
“Alright.” Sally picked up a child in one arm and teleported away.
By the time she arrived, the children had already returned from the Divine Beast Academy. Yona, Shishi, and Frost Millet were especially happy, talking to Zulu about the recent events.
Zi Qi stayed by their side, noticing Sally’s return, and stood up to tell Zulu, “I still have things to attend to, I’ll come back later so we can have a good drink together.”
“Your Majesty is busy, don’t worry about me,” Zulu still looked tense.
Zi Qi left the hall.
Sally, holding a child in one arm, almost bumped into him.
“Slow down.” Zi Qi steadied her, straightened her clothes for her, and tidied her hair. He even wiped her sweaty, pretty face, “He seems a bit nervous, why don’t you take him to the inn, your place, where he might feel more comfortable, and spend more time with him.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Sally tiptoed to give him a kiss on his sexy, refined chin… her stature was truly a bit short, she couldn’t quite reach!
“Without you, how am I to live in the future.”
“…” Zi Qi chuckled helplessly, “Go on.”
