Chapter 549: Chapter 547 It recognizes me!
“You are the Azure Dragon Clan renegade wanted throughout the Immortal Realm, Red Dragon Lan Shi,” a very calm voice suddenly sounded.
The scheming Lan Shi, who was imagining how to torment Sally and her little cubs, was startled!
He hadn’t even sensed someone approaching him!
Either this person was extremely skilled at stealth, or they were of a higher realm than him. But those above him were mostly ancient beings too busy ascending to godhood to bother with him.
However, when he saw the person standing behind him, he was stunned.
“You are… the Crown Prince of the Yunxi Continent?”
“It’s you, the Nether Dao Sect.” A black giant sword appeared in Welly’s hand, and he said, “Whether big or small, you’re still a dragon, and I’ll give you this.”
The black giant sword excitedly emitted a dragon’s roar, charging towards Lan Shi.
Welly continued towards Jiushen Mountain, holding an inventory list in his hand with names of precious seedlings of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures…
Soon, a dragon’s sorrowful wail rose from behind.
Welly raised his hand.
The black giant sword returned to his hand, and at the same time, a fresh Beast Core and a Divine Soul Power Bead hovered in the air.
Welly casually collected the two items, “Next time you’re this slow, I won’t send it your way.”
The black giant sword, in a sycophantic manner, nodded its hilt and disappeared.
Welly teleported to the front of Jiushen Mountain’s Barrier.
He straightened his clothes, then slapped the Mountain Protection Array.
Sally was sorting the seedlings with the children when she felt someone touch the defensive formation, she said to Xiaohao, “Keep an eye on your brothers and sisters, Mom will be back in a moment.”
“Okay, Mom,” Xiaohao replied.
A group of young cubs, who were only concerned with playing, suddenly started behaving.
Sally smiled and teleported away.
…
When Welly saw Sally appear, he showed her the inventory list in his hand.
Sally let him in.
“Didn’t I leave a lot for you? You sold them so fast?”
“Yes, where are the kids?”
“They’re working. These little tykes, they’re not that easy to order around.”
“…hehe, I’ll do it.”
“Okay.” Sally rubbed her somewhat tired eyes, “Then you take them, I’ll go back to the room to sleep for a while.”
“Here, eat this.” Welly gave Sally the Divine Soul Power Bead he had just obtained.
Sally didn’t think much of it, assuming it was his, and ate it.
The Soul Power Bead disappeared shortly after it was ingested, and she said with a gentle smile, “Your child sure can eat.”
“Good eaters grow strong.”
“Mm, I’ll sleep for a while.”
Sally turned back into a little white mouse and settled into the most comfortable position in Welly’s arms.
Welly caressed her back, watching her body relax, and the corners of his lips lifted gently.
…
“Xiao Qingqing—Xiao Qingqing—” Little Shiyi searched everywhere for Little Green Snake.
Welly heard Little Shiyi’s calls, “Who is Xiao Qingqing?”
“Uncle Five, Xiao Qingqing is my good friend,” Little Shiyi replied.
“What does it look like? Uncle will help you find it.” Welly squatted down and patted Little Shiyi’s head.
“It’s a green little snake with green eyes too, and it really likes lollipops,” Little Shiyi replied.
“Little Green Snake…” Welly looked around and saw no traces left by a snake, “Is it a native snake from Jiushen Mountain?”
“No,” replied Little Shiyi, “It came in from outside.”
“Hmm?” Welly’s expression paused slightly, “Did it come in from outside on its own, or did your mom let it in?”
The defensive formation of Jiushen Mountain could be controlled by Qing Linghuan, the landowner, as well as Sally, Little Shisi, and Little Shiwu.
After Little Shisi and Little Shiwu ascended, only Sally was left.
If Sally placed it in Jiushen Mountain, naturally there would be nothing wrong. But if it entered on its own, either it had the same special talent as Little Miqi, or its realm was higher than Qing Linghuan!
Although Tong Tian had divided the Six Realms, there might still be some existences that ignored the rules.
Little Shiyi replied, “It came in on its own.”
Welly fell silent.
He picked up Little Shiyi, “Let’s go find your mother.”
“What for?”
“Ask her to help find Xiao Qingqing.”
“Okay.”
Sally was wearing a two-piece pajama set, lifting her top in front of the mirror to look at her waistline. The more she looked, the more she felt her waist had thickened.
Seeing Welly and Little Shiyi arrive, she asked, “You two look, have I gained weight around my waist?”
“Isn’t mother carrying a little baby? Of course, it will get thicker,” Little Shiyi said as a matter of course.
Welly, on the other hand, would rather Sally’s belly grew bigger, “No, it’s still as slim as when you weren’t pregnant.”
“Ha~ not only do you sweet-talk, but you’ve also learned to lie to please people,” Sally laughed and then entered the dressing room, changing into a loose, fruit-green silk maternity dress, and placing a floral hair clip on her head, looking fresh and comfortable.
Welly’s gaze became even gentler, “Looks nice.”
Sally gave him an amused look, then picked up Little Shiyi, “Tell me, what brings you two here to find me?”
Little Shiyi said, “Xiao Qingqing is missing.”
“Xiao Qingqing? Your little snake pet?” Sally thought for a moment; indeed, she hadn’t seen it for a few days.
“It’s not a pet snake, it’s a good friend. It even gave me treasures,” Little Shiyi said, taking out the string of Sky Star Fruits.
There were over thirty of them; giving one to each brother and sister, half were already gone.
Sally hadn’t tried them, so she picked one to taste, “Sour, not very tasty, but indeed divine-grade.”
“This is a Divine Fruit from the Primordial Period,” Welly revealed astonishingly.
Sally was astounded, “What?”
Welly asked Little Shiyi, “Your Xiao Qingqing might not actually be a little green snake, but a transformed being. Did it disappear when Uncle Five came?”
Little Shiyi nodded, “Yes, Uncle Five.”
“Then it recognizes me and therefore avoided me,” Welly said as he took the string of Sky Star Fruits, plucked two more, and handed them to Sally, “Eat more.”
Sally laughed, “It’s for the kids, just tasting to see if it’s poisonous is enough.”
“It’s for the one in your belly,” Welly insisted.
He had no place to find these, but if only he knew where to get them, he would climb mountains and cross seas to gather them for Sally.
Little Shiyi said, “These don’t taste good, Little Shiyi doesn’t want them anymore, mother can have them all.”
Sally patted his head, “Then mother will accept them on behalf of your siblings in the belly, thank you, Little Shiyi~”
Little Shiyi nestled against Sally, acting spoiled, “Mom, I want to go play with Little Miqi.”
“Go ahead,” Sally kissed Little Shiyi and set him down.
When Little Shiyi was out of sight, Sally took the golden Sky Star Fruits, “You said Xiao Qingqing recognizes you, so what could it be?”
Suddenly, Sally remembered the little green snake she had encountered in the Azure Dragon Clan…
[Xiaomei, is Xiao Qingqing the same little green snake from the Azure Dragon Clan?!]
But… how could that be possible!
That little green snake, had it followed her all the way here?
Little Shiba’s speed was fast, and moreover, it made many turns, visiting several places for a stroll—through mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, as well as towns and villages, before finally returning to the Eastern Immortal Imperial Capital.
Xiaomei replied: [It is the same one; did the Host not recognize it?]
[If I had recognized it, I would have asked you sooner! Wait, why did it come here?]
[It bears no ill will towards the Host; on the contrary, it’s quite friendly.]
[Friendly?]
[Yes, it’s very curious about the Host. That’s why it followed.]
[Where is it now?]
[It left Jiushen Mountain four days ago.]
