Chapter 519: Chapter 517: The Promise of Inseparable Company
Sally suddenly stopped, gazing at Pei Xuan, “I’m now of God Rank, I can have children~”
“No hurry,” Pei Xuan took her hand, “Aren’t you still carrying Qing Linghuan’s child? He’s an Ancient Divine Beast, and their offspring are not easy to conceive.”
Sally clasped his hand back, fingers interlocked, “Xuan, have you ever resented me?”
Pei Xuan looked at her in surprise, “Why would you say that?”
“I feel like I’ve tied you all down, with a child… and an inability to promise companionship.” Sally’s eyes flickered with guilt.
Pei Xuan, regardless of being on the busy street, pulled her into his arms, then Teleported away.
Xiaohao and Little Fengning, the two little rascals, looked at each other, then ran off gleefully.
“Let’s go to Uncle Zulu’s place, I heard from Senior Sister Shi that Uncle Zulu has made some delicious jerky,” Little Fengning said as he ran.
Xiaohao said, “But mother gave Putao a set of cards, I want to check them out.”
“First to Uncle Zulu’s place, then to Uncle Zong’s,” Little Fengning replied.
“Alright,” Xiaohao agreed.
Zong Residence.
“Putao, did your mother give you a set of cards?” Zong Silu wiped his hands with a napkin.
Putao took out a collection album from his Little Storage Bag—the Holy Grail Card Collection Album, “Is it this one?”
“Yes, that’s the one.” Zong Silu took the collection album.
“Inside are just some normal cards, I didn’t find anything special.”
“Your Uncle Wen gave this to your mother before he left. It might be related to her current task,” Zong Silu said as he opened the Holy Grail Card Collection Album.
The text on the cards was in an ancient script, which he recognized. Picking up the first card, “Yan Valley Village…”
When he reached the last card, he found it was missing.
“Where is this card?” Zong Silu asked Putao.
Putao replied, “I don’t know, it was missing when mother gave it to me.”
Zong Silu immediately turned to the album’s index and compared each item, “Doomsday Black Tower, is there anything special about this one?”
“What is the Doomsday Black Tower?” asked Putao.
“…It’s better not to mention this in front of your mother,” Zong Silu handed the Holy Grail Card Collection Album back to Putao, “Go find your grandfather.”
“Alright, I still have to read an ancient text today; I’ll go to Grandpa,” Putao said.
“Go ahead.”
Zong Silu picked up his pen, and on a blank sheet of paper, he wrote down the words ‘Doomsday Black Tower.’
…
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, two years had gone by.
Sally’s waist had thickened a bit, but only slightly; if she wore a loose-fitting dress, you couldn’t tell at all.
Xiaomei was once again engrossed in developing games, sometimes not speaking a word to Sally for months.
And Sally was quite at leisure.
Since returning from the Dark World Continent, 000 had not looked her up again.
After all, she was carrying a child here and was also on a task, and was not idle.
Moreover, following her previous task, Sally’s mood had been suppressed for a while, and Xiaomei, as the Offspring System, had its most important task to ensure the host’s physical and mental health during pregnancy.
Also, Zi Qi had more than once approached Xiaomei with questions.
Questioning by a Beast Emperor was indeed not something a technologically oriented Offspring System could withstand. It was not long before he extracted the whole truth from Xiaomei.
Sally had not chosen to restore her memories with Bai Ren, and Xiaomei had also promised Bai Ren not to tell Sally about those memories, originally planning to cover them up again and bury the past once more.
“You promised not to tell her, but you didn’t say you couldn’t tell me; you wouldn’t want her to be unhappy forever, affecting the baby’s development, would you?”
Finally, Xiaomei compromised and recounted the past between Sally and Bai Ren…
Bai Ren did the thing Sally hated the most to compel her to leave the world that was about to undergo Destruction and to continue her journey: he performed a cesarean section to remove her child!
By then, Sally had been wandering alone for 9,572 years and had finally found a man who, though in a land of ice and snow, offered her his warm embrace when she was utterly exhausted.
She refused to let Xiaomei erase her emotions; she would rather die than forget Bai Ren… so it had to be Bai Ren who cut the ties.
In Sally’s extreme sorrow and terror, Bai Ren used a spell called “Forgetfulness” on her.
This was a spell that could only be used when someone was emotionally broken.
Sally ultimately forgot her sadness.
Little Shiqi, having been taken out by Bai Ren through a cesarean, was then placed back inside Sally.
As she set out on her journey and left, the icy world crumbled bit by bit and vanished into the sea of time…
In fact, Xiaomei had left behind a trace of Bai Ren in the System’s data.
It wasn’t until she played the game that she extracted Bai Ren’s data from the database.
At that time, she was focused on playing the game, so she directly used it.
Latter, the Main System took away this game data, turning Bai Ren’s residual thoughts into a Tower Guardian of the game world.
After learning the reasons behind everything, Zi Qi didn’t bring this up to Sally but took her back to the Rat Tribe in the Western District instead.
He stayed with her until her spirits lifted, covered by time and her children… that past had been superseded.
…
Sally, holding a grown Little Fengning’s hand, visited Suji Bookstore.
The little one rushed into the store and yelled at Moru, “Where’s my dad?”
“He went to buy groceries; he said he’s making your favorite braised beef,” Moru replied, waving at Sally.
Sally smiled briefly, about to say something, when another person entered the store.
Carrying two books, Rong Wu saw Sally and was clearly startled, “It’s you?”
Sally had seen Rong Wu once at Divine Beast Academy and later heard that he often traveled abroad and would occasionally purchase antiques and the like.
“Long time no see, found some treasures?”
“Ancient books,” Rong Wu replied, always a bit uneasy around Sally.
Rong Ruo had frequently visited the Beast Emperor Capital over the past two years, and he had seen her several times.
Knowing the relationship between Sally and Rong Ruo, and knowing that the Crown Princess of the Beast Emperor’s Palace was actually Rong Ruo’s daughter.
Curiously looking at the books in his hands, Sally asked, “Ancient books?”
“If you like them, I can give them to you,” Rong Wu offered, passing the books to her.
Sally took the books and flipped through them. Not recognizing the writing, she handed them back to Rong Wu, “Thank you, if you find any interesting travel journals, you can give them to me.”
“No problem, I’ll keep an eye out while book-hunting,” Rong Wu promptly replied.
Moru looked from him to Sally and asked Rong Wu, “Little Rong, do you know who she is?”
“I know,” Rong Wu replied.
Sally also said, “We’ve met at the academy. And he’s academically excellent, ranked first in his grade.”
“Wow~” Moru appeared surprised, then looking down at Little Fengning, asked, “And the Young Master?”
Little Fengning huffed, “Of course I was also first.”
“Yep! Last one!” Sally chuckled.
Instantly hugging her, Little Fengning whined, “Mommy, you mustn’t say that. Little Fengning has his pride too.”
“Okay,” Sally replied with a smile, patting his head before turning to Moru, “Let’s try that again… cough, cough, yes! Little Fengning has maintained his performance consistently for two years, never slipping~”
Little Fengning nodded contentedly, “Exactly.”
Moru paused then burst into laughter.
Rong Wu couldn’t help but smile as well.
