Chapter 461: Chapter 459: Is Your Majesty Afraid?
Zulu saw Sally and hurriedly rose from his chair.
Sally placed the two children on the ground, looked at Zulu whom she hadn’t seen for six years, now even more majestic and robust, and embraced him tightly, “Zulu~ I’ve missed you so much.”
“I… I’ve advanced to Spirit Rank, so I came to see you,” Zulu said, his large hands sturdy and forceful, awkwardly wrapping around Sally’s waist.
“The children are about to have their rainy season break, and I was just saying I’d bring the kids to see you; I didn’t expect you’d come yourself, which is wonderful.”
“Really? Then let’s go back together after the break. Robby got married and his wife just got pregnant when I left,” Zulu said with a smile.
Sally exclaimed with a surprise, “Really? I knew there was nothing wrong with his body; it was just a mental hurdle he couldn’t get over.”
“Yes, Robby also asked if you could attend the child’s full moon celebration.”
“Of course, I can.”
…
Zi Qi prepared a very lavish family banquet.
All the Beast Husbands and children from the Beast Emperor Capital came.
Especially Ming Linyuan, who made a special trip back to Phoenix Cry Valley to bring the children.
Truth be told, if it weren’t for Zulu, he would never have met Sally, let alone have three children with her. So he respectfully offered Zulu a toast.
“No need for words, everything’s in this drink. I’ve filled this cup to the brim!”
Zulu also knew the past, that after he died, it was Ming Linyuan who disguised himself as Zulu, continuing to stay by Sally’s side, looking after her and the three children, protecting them.
Even though Ming Linyuan later left, he would often return to the tribe to look after the three children.
“Yes, it’s all in the drink,” Zulu too drank it all in one gulp.
Zulu’s alcohol tolerance was good, but he drank the low-alcohol fruit wine from the Western District; in Sally’s view, it was like a beverage with a taste of alcohol. However, the drinks from the Eastern District were all meticulously brewed, and the wine that Zi Qi brought was even a high-grade Spirit-grade vintage.
Ming Linyuan was often at wine-tasting events, drinking as if it were water no matter the amount.
But after Zulu drank, even when he tried to dispel the effects with his spiritual power, it didn’t do much.
Seeing this, Sally quietly slipped a Sobering Pill into a glass of water and gave it to Zulu to drink…
Zulu had not met Zong Silu, but his three children were living in the Zong Residence, so he toasted Zong Silu three times with immense gratitude.
The more wine he drank, the more exhilarating it became, washing away all the reserve Zulu had since he arrived in the Eastern District, making him much more at ease.
Pei Xuan and Zulu both enjoyed cultivating in the Beast Forest, so they got along exceptionally well, sharing stories of their experiences in the forest.
Zi Qi held Little Shiqi, who loved to climb up on the table the most. Seeing him restless, Zi Qi laughed, “Which one would you like to eat? Daddy will get it for you.”
“That jerky, made by Grandpa,” Little Shiqi pointed to a plate on the table.
It was brought by Zulu.
The Rat Clan enjoyed gnawing, so the harder and more resilient the food, the more they liked to chew on it. Among all the delicious dishes on the table, it was this jerky that Sally cherished the most.
Seeing Sally eat several strips of jerky, Little Shiqi also wanted to eat.
Zi Qi took two sticks for Little Shiqi.
Little Shiqi nestled contentedly in his arms, chewing vigorously, “So yummy.”
Zi Qi smiled, “Hmm, Uncle Zulu has prepared a lot for you, take your time eating.”
Although there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for the children, they all loved the special jerky and fruits from the Western District.
Especially the jerky, which could not be bought, was handmade by Auro himself.
Welly sat beside the children’s table, taking care of Little Fengning. Apart from the beginning, when he exchanged a couple of drinks with Zulu, he barely made his presence felt afterwards.
Sally served a bowl of milk custard to Little Fengning and handed it to Welly, “Why don’t you go and drink?”
Welly responded, “I’m watching the children.”
Sally patted his shoulder, “Good work.”
Welly looked up at her, “Yanyan, you seem especially gentle today.”
“Hmm? I am indeed very happy.” Sally’s snow-white face radiated a joy that bubbled from within, one that only comes with a truly great mood.
“Is he your weakness?” Welly suddenly asked.
“Mom, Sister Xiaoqi is stealing my jerky!” Little Shiyi shouted. Little Shiyi also loved jerky the most, so anything could be taken from him, but not this snack.
Sally hurried over, missing what Welly said, “Mom has more here, no fighting now~”
Welly picked up a piece of jerky from Little Fengning’s plate and took a bite… It was tough, and aside from the fresh taste of meat, it had no other spices—it became more flavorful the more he chewed, great for teething.
“Dad!” Little Fengning was unhappy, “You can’t take Baby’s food!”
Welly: “…”
Alright, it seemed that jerky was the universally favored food among these cubs.
After the third round of drinks, the fifth flavor of dishes passed.
The family banquet concluded amid laughter and cheer.
Zi Qi suggested Zulu stay in the palace, but Zulu refused.
Then Sally proposed going to her inn, and only then did Zulu agree. He was Sally’s Beast Husband, having married into the Millet Family, he naturally followed Sally.
Unless Sally required him to stay in the Beast Emperor’s Palace, he would rather live in the Beast Forest outside the city.
Sally and Zulu, along with Yona, Shishi, and Frost, left the palace and returned to the Wanfang Inn.
Zi Qi seldom escorted anyone out of the palace gates but personally saw Zulu off.
He didn’t immediately turn back even after they were out of sight.
Yu Yan followed him, the onlooker who clearly spoke, “Your Majesty, are you afraid?”
Zi Qi neither admitted nor denied it.
“This Zulu, although his cultivation base is low, has a significant place in Sister Su’s heart.” Yu Yan continued, “I’ve observed him, he’s a very upright male.”
“That’s why he’s the most fearsome, he has no weaknesses.” Zi Qi turned to return to the palace, “What has Welly been doing recently?”
“In the past few days, a new clerk appeared in his bookstore, attracting many female customers, and for a time, the books sold out. But he has disappeared these past two days.”
“What’s the name?”
“Moru.”
“… It must be the Evil Divine Beast from the Asura Realm during the second Divine War.”
“Eh! Shouldn’t we be on guard?”
“No need, as long as Little Fengning is still of the Human Clan, and still in the Beast Emperor Capital, he won’t let those Evil Divine Beasts from the Asura Realm cause trouble in the Eastern District.”
…
Wanfang Inn.
Sally arranged for Zulu to stay in the backyard, and the children were happily running and jumping around in the courtyard.
“I’ve also bought a three-section estate behind the inn. If you find it too noisy here, you can move there. It’s just that I haven’t had time to tidy it up.”
“I’ll take care of it.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you. You should stay here more often from now on. You can use the time to cultivate and study with the kids.”
“That’s what I was thinking. When the break starts here, we will go back to the clan with the kids.”
“There might be many habits here that differ from those in the tribe. If there’s anything that makes you uncomfortable, you must tell me, okay?”
“Don’t worry, I can adapt anywhere.”
