Chapter 536: Chapter 534: The Money-Burning System Developed by Xiaomei
…
Eastern Immortal Royal Palace.
Sally returned with Xiaoqi, Little Beibei, and four Little Angels.
The other children all went back to their respective Father Beasts.
Zi Qi was handling official affairs. Hearing footsteps outside the hall, he immediately set aside the half-read official document.
He rose and walked toward the entrance of the hall.
Xiaoqi was lying on Little Shisan’s back, seemingly tired and napping. Even Little Miqi had calmed down quite a bit, continuously yawning.
Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi were better off. The two were still planning to go to the amusement park tomorrow.
Little Beibei lay in Sally’s palm, already sleeping so soundly that all four little paws were splayed out.
Zi Qi took Little Beibei from Sally’s hand, his eyes filled with warmth, “You’ve been out for quite a while. Where did you go?”
“We went to plant Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at Golden Phoenix Mountain. All the young ones participated and got tired from the work.” Sally lifted Xiaoqi from Little Shisan’s back, “I’ll take them to bathe first, then to sleep.”
Zi Qi nodded, “Alright.”
…
Sally put all the children on the wide imperial bed in the Sleeping Palace, and before long, they fell asleep, sweetly and soundly.
Sally was also tired. After lying down, she quickly became groggy too.
Zi Qi came in and carried her off to an adjacent side chamber.
Leaning against his chest, Sally struggled to keep her eyes open, “Qi, let me rest a bit before I join you.”
“Holding you like this is enough. Go to sleep,” Zi Qi held her in his arms.
Sally relaxed her body and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Zi Qi looked at her snowy, tender face and softly touched it, his heart utterly content as though nothing else mattered at this moment—as long as he held her, he possessed everything.
A very handsome young man came from outside, he was Yu Yan’s disciple, Yu Tian.
Yu Yan was cultivating him as his successor.
Now that Yu Yan and Yin Zang were gone, Yu Tian naturally took over Yu Yan’s duties and was very loyal to Zi Qi.
“Your Majesty, a letter from Master.”
It took a while before Zi Qi’s voice sounded, “Wait a moment.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
…
Zi Qi emerged from the side chamber.
His dragon-patterned purple robe was a bit wrinkled, his exceptionally handsome face carried a lazy ease.
Yu Tian bowed his head low, not daring to glance at Zi Qi, and respectfully presented a Sound Transmission Talisman.
Zi Qi opened it, and Yu Yan’s voice emerged from the talisman, “A new force has arisen in the Immortal Realm called Zhengxian Sect. They are slaughtering Immortal Cultivators coming from the Lower Realm. Your Majesty, please be very cautious.”
“Zhengxian Sect…” Zi Qi pondered, then instructed Yu Tian, “Order the people of the Eastern Forest Dark Department to prepare defenses within the Imperial City. If someone from Zhengxian Sect is discovered, report immediately.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Yu Tian hurried off.
Zi Qi looked toward the side chamber, stood for a while, then returned to the main hall to continue handling official affairs.
When Sally awoke, she was alone in the side chamber.
She opened the System Map and saw that Zi Qi was still handling official affairs, frowning from time to time, apparently facing some thorny issue.
Sally returned to the Sleeping Palace where the children were. She touched Little Beibei and Xiaoqi, the two little sisters, just like Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, each a contrast of black and white.
[Xiaomei, do we really have to wait until Little Beibei grows up to bind the Talent System?]
[Yes, Host.] Xiaomei replied.
Sally was a bit surprised, [How come you responded so quickly to me this time?]
[Xiaomei developed a one-click cross-system, it’s really impressive!] Xiaomei said somewhat proudly.
[One-click cross-world travel? What’s that?]
[As long as the host has enough Fertility Points, they can travel to any world they’ve been to before.]
[Wow! That is absolutely amazing!]Sally sat up in shock, eyes sparkling with excitement, [So, can I go to the Divine Realm now?]
[You can go to the Outer World, let alone the Divine Realm!]
[What about the Asura Realm?]
[Of course, you can go there too. However, speaking of the Asura Realm, shouldn’t the host consider scheduling a visit soon?]
[Schedule what?]Sally couldn’t remember at the moment; she had been quite busy lately. Had she missed something important?
[…Welly’s second child, the host has always been halting the development.]
[I asked you before if you wanted to restart development. You ignored me, so I didn’t bring it up again.]Since Xiaomei had halted the development, naturally, she had to be the one to unlock it.
[Maybe Xiaomei was busy developing the cross-world system and didn’t notice. Shall we continue the development now? I need to remind the host if you are not ready with the Divine Soul Force ingredients, it actually could be postponed further. Halting once doesn’t affect the fetus much, but multiple halts could have irreversible impacts.]Xiaomei said to Sally.
Sally paused for a moment, [Let’s wait a little longer. I want to visit Suji Bookstore.]
[Not going to the Asura Realm?]
[Going to Suji Bookstore, I can’t quite explain it; it’s just a gut feeling.]
[Alright, host.]
As soon as the voice fell, Sally’s vision blurred, and she heard her Fertility Points report—[Initiating one-click cross-world travel, deducting 100 million Fertility Points, remaining balance: 516,118,934,588.]
Sally winced in pain! 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
This one-click cross-world travel sure burns money!
But now that she stood in front of Suji Bookstore, it was too late for regrets.
[Xiaomei, can’t we save some money?]
Xiaomei replied: [Xiaomei used the previous system’s circuit in the cross-world travel; reactivating it required a large amount of data. Next time will be like before, only needing 10,000 points.]
[What about going to the Divine Realm? Does that also cost a billion?]
[Yes, host.]
[…It seems the way of Miqi is cheaper and better.]
Sally unlocked the System Map—
Suji Bookstore had a sign hanging that said ‘Closed,’ but there were people in the backyard.
Dressed in simple linen clothes, Welly opened a wooden box filled with books.
He picked up a “Journey Through the Illusionary Realm” and began to flip through it.
‘Knock, knock, knock—” there was a sound of knocking; he looked up from the book, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face.
He put on a pair of glasses to cover his eyes before going to answer the door.
Meanwhile, as he went to open the door, Sally teleported into the backyard, picked up the “Journey Through the Illusionary Realm,” and teleported away again.
When Welly opened the door, there was only a Mid-grade Crystal Coin outside.
He picked up the Mid-grade Crystal Coin, walked back into the store, and placed it on the counter.
By the time he returned to the backyard, the “Journey Through the Illusionary Realm” had disappeared!
His gaze paused, and in the next instant, he sharply looked toward the direction of the store…
The Mid-grade Crystal Coin was the payment for the book.
The backyard of Wanfang Inn.
Sally lay on a swing chair, enjoying the book while munching on jerky; beside her was an hourglass, steadily marking the time with its trickling sand.
Before she had finished a single strip of jerky, she heard Welly’s voice, “You’re back.”
His calm, emotionless tone somehow made one’s heart skip a beat.
Sally closed the book in her hands, her crimson lips slightly curling into a sly, enticing smile, “How did you know it was me?』
