Chapter 501: Chapter 499: Come on, let’s undercut each other…
“It was developed by Xiaomei, and only she can use it; it can’t be bound to anyone else. Not to disturb the Host, the task duration is three months. Wishing the Host great fortune in battle.”
“Same wishes.”
[Xiaomei, 000 said that the System you developed can only be used by you? How come I can use it too?] 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓾𝒷.𝒸ℴ𝓂
[Xiaomei has granted 100% authorization to the Host. The Host can use it however they wish.]
[…Xiaomei, you are really amazing!]
Sally was once again struck by Xiaomei’s powerful capabilities.
Absolutely! Having met Xiaomei was an extremely fortunate event for her.
Xiaomei tried her best to fulfill all her requests, even the unreasonable ones. Even if it was something completely disadvantageous to a System, Xiaomei would do her best to make it happen.
In life, birth, aging, sickness, death, joys, and sorrows, sun and moon… it’s all very normal. It’s the incompleteness, the regrets, that make the complete things precious.
Because she had painfully lost before, she cherished the things she could grasp all the more.
Even if she lost them, she would spare no expense to get them back. This applied not only to material possessions, but also to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and even more so to Fertility Points.
Before the reversal of time, Xiaomei was more like a System, never doing anything that didn’t benefit her. After the reversal of time, she became more humane, thinking like a Human brain and speaking with more emotion. She didn’t know if it was because Xiaomei had been with her for a long time and had truly developed feelings, or if it was just the simulation of a thought model, but Xiaomei, after the time reversal, was undoubtedly more likable to her.
[Thank you, Xiaomei.]
[Xiaomei is very happy to be able to help the Host.]
[Xiaomei is really awesome.]
[It’s the Host who has good taste.]
[Hahaha… By the way, the Merit System that 000 mentioned, what’s the difference between that and Merit Divine Rank?]
[The Merit System is programmed based on the Merit Divine Rank.]
[What about the Space System? Was it also developed based on the Space Secret Technique?]
[Xiaomei indeed developed the System based on the data from the Space Secret Technique.]
[And the Talent System?]
[Xiaomei is the Talent System, Fertility Talent.]
[…]
[The reason Xiaomei can develop other System functions is because my creator endowed me with the ability to self-repair and write codes, something other systems do not have. The Talent System that Little Beibei wants to customize was personally coded and developed by Xiaomei’s creator as an entirely new Talent System.]
[I thought the Talent System was just about those like ‘Sacred Heavens and Earth’, ‘Mysterious Yellow’.] It seems she had thought of the System too narrowly.
Xiaomei replied: [That’s the Cultivation System, the Talent System isn’t limited to those. It will be bound to what suits her based on Little Beibei’s characteristics as she grows up. For example, the Host, because you have a strong desire to be a mother and want to have children, that’s why you were bound to the Offspring System. If you never had this obsession, Xiaomei wouldn’t have met the Host.]
[I’m so glad I had it.]
…
After meeting with 000, Sally returned to the Fox Hole.
She found out that Qing Linghuan had already left.
Without thinking, she knew he had gone to look for You Hao.
These two were like enemies on a narrow road; she had to hurry and check on them.
“Setting up a canopy at the entrance of my cave, what do you mean by that?” Qing Linghuan asked sharply, glaring at You Hao.
You Hao replied lightly, “Afraid you might get hot.”
“You! Tear it down immediately.”
“If you want it torn down, you do it. Yanyan has lain under that canopy and seemed to like it quite a bit.”
“…Really?”
“Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, go ask Yanyan if she’s ever lain there and whether she likes the canopy.”
“I will ask. Where are my kids?” Qing Linghuan said as he barged into the house.
You Hao let him in…
Qing Linghuan emerged again soon, his face filled with a triumphant smile, “I left my Offspring Mark on your child, and I’ve done the same to your three children.”
You Hao was taken aback for a moment, then hurried inside.
He just saw the fox marks disappearing from the eggshells of Yangyang and Xiaoxiao.
No… his two children were clearly being nourished inside the Defense Barrier with Divine Liquid! How could they appear here!
In fact, after Sally had summoned the two Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs, she casually placed them back on the large bed, to stay with their brothers and sisters.
Qing Linghuan, discovering that his two children had been marked by You Hao with the Offspring Mark, was furious, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that You Hao’s three children were also there, and marked them in retaliation.
His pride stemmed from the fact that he had earned an extra Little Beibei.
You Hao immediately realized he was at a loss, “You stinky fox, take back one of the Offspring Marks.”
“Dream on, hmph!” Qing Linghuan walked away feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
An Offspring Mark is also a type of guardian mark.
It bears no harm to the children and even in times of danger, it can send a signal back to the one who left the mark.
You Hao watched Qing Linghuan’s retreating figure and suddenly laughed again, “Yanyan still has more in her belly. Wait for me!”
Just as Sally reached the entrance to the Su Mansion, she saw Qing Linghuan coming out from inside.
She quickly scanned him up and down to make sure there were no signs of a fight before sighing in relief.
“The kids have their monthly exams here. You help You Hao with the arrangements, then play for a few more days. If I don’t come back, help me send the kids back to their Father Beast,” Sally said to Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan asked, “Are you going on a task?”
“Xiaomei and I are going to check out the situation first. If it’s tough, I’ll call you. If it’s not, we’ll take care of it on the fly.”
“I’ll take the children with me and join you.”
“…Are you sure you trust You Hao with the children’s exams?”
“Of course not. He’s just a dumb feathered bird!”
“…Yeah, that’s why I feel relieved when you’re here.”
“How about waiting until the monthly exams are over, and then I’ll join you on the task?”
“Usually, tasks with high points are quite urgent. I’ll go check it out first, and if I need your help, I can call you later.”
“Fine.” Qing Linghuan also had confidence in Xiaomei’s strength. However, if he wasn’t there to keep an eye on You Hao’s side, who knew what mess might ensue!
Sally spoke to You Hao once more.
Although You Hao wasn’t pleased with Qing Linghuan being around, he was even less willing to let Qing Linghuan be alone with Sally, the so-called ‘lonesome man and widow’.
He professed not knowing how to conduct the children’s exams, expressing his wish in a soft and pleading voice that Qing Linghuan would stay and help him.
Qing Linghuan seemed to question his vixen nature, marveling that the dumb feathered bird could admit to his own stupidity one day…
Not until Sally left did You Hao suddenly change his tune, “I’m just trying to prevent you from being alone with Yanyan. If I can’t have her, neither will you!”
“…You dumb feathered bird, I’ll thrash you to death,” retorted Qing Linghuan as he immediately started fighting with You Hao.
Neither of them used their Divine Power, so the destruction was naturally minimal.
But Xiaohao, who was sleeping, was still awakened by the noise of their fight… And upon discovering it was Qing Linghuan and You Hao brawling, he immediately woke up the rest of his brothers and sisters.
“Frost, Manman, Putao, Xiaoqi, Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, Little Shier, Fifteen… There’s a fight to watch.”
Soon all the younglings were awake.
They were all lined up at the window looking out…
…
Dark World Continent.
The dim sky, where no sun or moon could be seen, would have been mistaken for dusk had not Xiaomei told her it was midnight.
“It really lives up to the name of ‘dark’.”
“This world knows neither darkness nor light, only perpetual dimness.”
