Chapter 539: Chapter 537 Why Be With Her
“Yanyan—can you help me with something?” Welly’s voice rang out.
Sally responded, “Sure, I’m on my way.”
“Heh~ Listening in on us women talking, that’s not very princely of you, King.” Mo Ruo picked up a cup with a straw, sipped a golden green iced drink, and widened her eyes, “What is this?”
“Panthea, drink slowly, I’ll go take a look in the backyard first.” Sally stood up and left.
Mo Ruo savored the drink, “This is really tasty!”
Once Sally entered the backyard, she saw Welly donning an apron, slicing meat into thin, pink and oily strips, arranging them on the plate into the shape of a flower, an appetite pleaser.
“So pretty!” Sally picked up one, threw her head back, and tossed it into her mouth—the taste was fresh, tender, and incredibly delicious.
“Does it taste okay?” Welly picked up another meat flower and fed it to Sally. 𝓃ℴ𝓋𝓹𝓊𝓫.𝒸𝓸𝓂
Sally opened her mouth and ate it, “Mmh, I like fresh, raw meat. When I was of the Pure Human Race, I didn’t eat these things, but ever since I reincarnated into the Rat Clan, I’ve developed a taste for dry jerky and fresh tender meats.”
“Pure Human Race?”
“Yeah, before I got tied to the Offspring System. Little Shiliu, ranked sixteenth, was a girl from the Pure Human Race.”
“What about Little Shiliu’s Father Beast?”
“He was also from the Human Clan.” Sally recalled Xiaomei’s mention of a one-click crossing.
[So if I use enough Fertility Points, can I go to Earth as well?]
[Yes, Host, it is no different from fulfilling your original wish.]
[Got it.]
“They’re in a very distant world; otherwise, I would’ve summoned Little Shiliu long ago to meet the other children,” Sally replied.
Welly paused, “Your birth mother… your current Beast Body’s mother beast, her soul was also from the Pure Human Race, and a Witch from the Witch Clan.”
Sally said, “I know, Xiaomei told me about her. I also know she watched helplessly as eight of her brothers were eaten by Demon Beasts. And I was overlooked by the Demon Beast because I was too thin and small.”
Little Fengning, who was doing homework inside the house, peeped at Sally and Welly, then shrank back and continued with her work.
Welly continued, “She raised me.”
Sally wasn’t surprised; Xiaomei’s information had included the relationship between Banyue and Welly.
“The Demon Emperor took me to the Dark Continent and left me in Thousand Tree City, to be the Fifth Demon King. At that time, Auntie Yue also came with me, responsible for taking care of me. The Demon Emperor had many children, but there were limited seats in Demon King City. The only way to claim a seat was to kill a preceding Demon King, but there was one rule: the targeted Demon King had to be an adult.
One of my brothers couldn’t wait for me to come of age; he sneaked into Thousand Tree City and tried to kill me, but Auntie Yue saved my life at the expense of her own.
When the Demon Emperor received the news, he rushed to Thousand Tree City and saved Auntie Yue, who was barely hanging on to life. However, her soul was nowhere to be found, not in the entire Dark Continent.
The next time I saw her, her soul resided in a female of the Rat Clan, a little white mouse, just like you.
She told me that she had lost her memory at the time and even bore a litter with a male from the Rat Clan.”
“That male was my father, and the litter she bore was me and my brothers,” Sally replied.
“According to the information Xiaomei gave me, she followed the Demon Beasts back to the Dark Continent. Sensing that her body was still alive, she returned to Thousand Tree City. Finally, with your help, she returned to human form and went back to the Human Continent.”
Welly looked at her, “Does that make you angry?”
“What do I have to be angry about? Strictly speaking, I am not her daughter. I was just reincarnated into the Beast Body of the daughter she abandoned. Her real daughter is already dead.”
“Last year, I went looking for Auntie Yue, but she had already passed away.”
“Hmm,” Sally’s expression remained calm, “Everyone has their day, sooner or later. Of course, you ancient beings who merely take human form aren’t considered part of the Human Race; you live as long as you wish.”
“…Little Fengning is of the Human Race.”
“That was your previous human form. But the child I’m carrying now, is it of the Human Race?” Sally looked at him.
Welly said, “…Definitely not.”
Sally nodded, “Several times I’ve asked about your Beast Body, but you won’t tell me. I’ll uncover your secret when I give birth.”
“I hope you won’t dislike it too much,” Welly said with a somewhat helpless smile. “Auntie Yue left a letter, do you want to read it?”
“No need,” Sally declined.
“…Auntie Yue regrets not caring about your life and death back then,”
“That’s between her and her children, it has nothing to do with me.”
“Dad, I’m so hungry—” Little Fengning called out.
Sally picked up a plate of meat, “I’ll go check on him.”
Welly handed her a cup of young beast’s milk.
“Huh? Isn’t this one still unfinished?”
“Since it wasn’t at your place these past few years, I’ve saved some here.”
After Sally went into the room, Welly dealt with the remaining food and then went into the shop.
Mo Ruo was greeting customers buying books, and after sending the customers off, skillfully organized the bookshelves.
“What’s going on?” Welly didn’t think that Mo Ruo was the type to give up easily.
“Zi Qiaoqiao is pregnant.” Leaning against the bookshelf, Mo Ruo stood with one hand on her hip, her gaze drifting toward the door, “Even as a female, I can’t bear children. Oh well, it was never meant to be.”
“Are you returning to the Asura Realm now?”
“No, I plan to keep working here as a clerk.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
“I don’t need a salary, I’ll even contribute money to buy books.”
“Fine.”
“…”
Welly turned to go back to the backyard.
Out of curiosity, Mo Ruo asked, “My lord, knowing she is fickle and uninterested, why do you stay with her?”
Welly looked at her, “Because she can bear children.”
With a slap to her own mouth, Mo Ruo said, “I’m so stupid.”
“When do you plan to die? You could add some nutrients for my child.”
“!! My lord, I was joking!”
“Next time I’ll take it seriously.”
“…Yes!”
…
Two months went by in the blink of an eye.
Sally received a message from Xiaomei, saying Zulu had been seriously injured. The reason was the rise of a power called Zhengxian Sect in the Immortal Realm; they were expelling the immortal cultivators who had migrated there during the great movement, and Zulu had unfortunately become one of their targets.
Frost was injured too while trying to protect Zulu.
“Will Little Fengning go back with me to take the monthly exam, or stay with you?” Sally asked.
Knowing she would leave sooner or later, every extra day was a stroke of luck.
Welly pulled out a storage bag and handed it to her, “He will go back to the Immortal Realm with you for the monthly exam. I will come to the Immortal Realm to pick him up later.”
“Mm.” Sally took the storage bag.
Inside were purely Divine Soul Power Spheres. She didn’t know when he had made these, and he didn’t show any sign of strain.
“You can take your time. Even at the lowest consumption rate, these are enough to last me over a thousand years.”
“Eat at the highest rate,” replied Welly.
“Even then, they will last a few years.” Sally smiled, “Don’t push yourself too hard, I have my own Divine Soul Force.”
“There’s no need to use yours. I… I’m not a Divine Beast, so it takes some time to convert Soul Power into Divine Soul Force. Just go ahead and eat; for me, providing for the child is no problem at all.”
