Chapter 541: Chapter 539: Night Talk
…
Night fell.
After Sally had put the children to sleep and saw that Zi Qi was cultivating, she didn’t disturb him.
Just as she was about to leave, Zi Qi finished his cultivation and called out to her, “Yanyan, why aren’t you resting?”
“The children are all asleep, and I’m not very sleepy, so I thought I’d chat with you about the matters in the Lower Realm’s Eastern District.”
“Hmm,” Zi Qi walked up to her, took her hand, and they left the palace.
Outside, the bright moon shed its clear light, and the air was filled with thick spiritual energy.
“The spiritual energy in the Lower Realm is less than half of what it used to be; truly, only those with extraordinary talent can cultivate to ascension.”
“How is Rong Wu?”
“Rong Wu is doing well as the Beast Emperor. Zi Qiaoqiao is also pregnant, and everything seems fine. Moreover, no demon beasts have appeared in the Beast Forest, and many from the Beast Clan have chosen to leave the towns and relocate into the Beast Forest.”
“Right now, the strongest region is the Southern District. As Rong Wu is a division of Rong Ruo, the two districts can support each other.”
“Hmm, everything is developing in peace and stability, no problems at the moment. Oh, by the way, my father is a grandfather again, the Little Princess gave birth to another pair for my brother—a female panda and a male from the Rat Clan, both incredibly adorable.”
“Your offspring are beautiful too; Xiao Tian will surely amaze the world someday,” Zi Qi said with a smile.
Sally replied, “Just like his father—but let’s hope not as silly as his dad.”
Zi Qi chuckled softly, “Qing Linghuan has a nice disposition, easy to get along with, no need to guess what he’s thinking.”
“True.” Sally rubbed her own belly, “I have also conceived Welly’s child.”
Zi Qi drew her into his arms, “Let’s nurture the pregnancy here.”
“Okay.” Sally nestled against him.
Indeed, it was best for this pregnancy to be in the Immortal Realm. Here her strength was considered upper-class, more than enough for self-protection, but in the Divine Realm, she would be at the bottom, vulnerable to capture at any moment.
Moreover, Welly mentioned that he was not a Divine Beast, which implied this child, though nourished by Divine Soul Force, might not necessarily be a Divine Beast.
What exactly was Welly?
“Your Majesty, do you know what Welly’s beast form is?”
“Isn’t he a Human Demon?”
“That previous form had already undergone a transformation. It seems like his true form now, and Huanhuan certainly knows, but he only says he’s a Human Demon.”
“Then it must be a Human Demon. Actually, you don’t necessarily need to know what the beast form is, you prefer his human form, don’t you?”
Sally couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m not looking at Your Majesty’s beast form, besides, I know what you are. I just want to know about Welly because he always says he’s afraid I’d despise him, even wanting the child to be from the Rat Clan.”
“When you were on a mission in the Dark World Continent, Qing Linghuan took the children back to the Beast Emperor’s Palace. I heard him say that Welly is not bound by the rules of heaven and earth, he can go wherever he wishes.”
“Indeed. He once said that he awoke in the Origin Realm because of time reversal.”
Suddenly, a thunderclap boomed, and then the sky and earth lit up!
“What happened?” Sally was shocked.
Zi Qi teleported her back into the Sleeping Palace, “You rest with the children. I’ll check it out.”
“Let me come with you, I can take the children into the System Space.”
“No need, I’ll be back soon.”
Zi Qi left.
Sally asked Xiaomei, “What happened?”
Xiaomei took a moment before responding: “Someone is undergoing Divine Ascension, does the host want to attend?”
“Divine Ascension? What’s so special about it, my children have undergone Divine Ascensions several times.”
“It’s different. This is the Divine Calamity for an Immortal Cultivator ascending to the Divine Realm after the Six Realms were delineated, only after passing will divine status be bestowed, if not passed…”
“What happens if it’s not passed?”
“In the past, they would have dissipated between heaven and earth. Now, I don’t know if the rules have changed.”
A wave of hunger struck Sally, and she rubbed her belly, taking two divine-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to eat. She could now discern what the child within her craved.
If very hungry, it wanted food. If she was very tired and the Divine Soul Force inexplicably vanished, it was craving Divine Soul Force.
“I should sleep, rest well and nurture the pregnancy.”
“Host, good night.”
Sally had just laid down with the children when Xiaomei’s voice rang out again, “Host, someone has intruded into the Eastern Immortal Palace.”
Sally immediately opened the System Map, making everything around her clearly visible.
But the next instant, seeing a person with a Fierce Ghost mask standing outside the palace door still gave her a huge fright.
In the middle of the night, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling, it was enough to make anyone faint-hearted pass out!
She promptly moved all the children into the System Space, transformed into a little white mouse, and teleported up to the rafters, hiding herself.
The door opened, and the person wearing the Fierce Ghost mask came in.
He reached out to touch the couch, which was still warm…
The mask-wearing person looked up toward the rafters.
Sally hid tightly, but through the System Map, she saw clearly that the person was wearing a dark dragon-patterned robe and holding a white jade short flute.
Suddenly, he raised his hand to remove the mask, revealing his true face. A handsome and deep face with a pair of blue-green eyes, both intimidating and fearful.
It was Lan Shi!
Was he here to assassinate Zi Qi?
Wasn’t he overly bold!
