Chapter 574: Chapter 572: The Children’s Reaction
Zong Silu heard the noise and hurried over.
He had just returned from the battlefield, having defeated a demon army.
Upon seeing Little Dot, he, who was originally spirited, immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated himself before Little Dot.
Sally quickly handed Little Dot’s butt forward to stamp the Lineage Seal; he was the last Beast Husband in the Immortal Realm.
Except for Zi Qi, everyone paid their respects to the little one.
Zhu Sanlang looked at the embarrassed Zong Silu and laughed, “It’s okay; we are all the same.”
After learning that the little one was an Ancient Desolate Beast, Zong Silu was, apart from Zi Qi, the most knowledgeable about Ancient Desolate Beast literature.
He watched the little one without blinking and observed him, then finally reached out his hand, “Little Dot, I’m Uncle Zong~”
“Uncle Zong~” Little Dot approached him and affectionately rubbed his hand.
Deer Shu is a rather ancient Auspicious Beast. The ancient Auspicious Beast aura on Zong Silu made Little Dot very fond of him.
As Zong Silu held the little one, he said to Sally, “Let me raise him; you see, my knee is empty now.”
Zhu Sanlang said, “Mine has been empty for who knows how long; I should be first in line.”
“Stop fighting, Yanyan has already agreed to let me raise him.” Zi Qi was no longer reserved; it was time to compete. Such an extinct Ancient Desolate Beast was extremely rare. Possibly the last one in the world, and capable of commanding all beasts, he was most suited to be the Crown Prince of his Eastern Immortal Palace.
Zong Silu looked at Sally, “Really?”
“Yes, I have already agreed with His Majesty,” Sally replied. “I will have a second child for you, and for you too, Sanlang.”
The two finally stopped competing.
Ming Linyuan said, “Can I also have one? Manman and Little Shiba went to the Divine Realm, and Little Shiyi practices every day. Looking at the situation, he might ascend with Xiaohao.”
Sally laughed, “I can’t guarantee what Beast Body it will be.” Bearing children for them, she could give birth to one almost every month; it would be over quickly.
Ming Linyuan was just trying his luck and didn’t expect Sally to actually agree, “Really, really?”
“Not the slightest bit false,” Sally said with a sly smile. “After all, it’s you who have to raise the children, not me.”
“You absolutely won’t need to worry at all,” Ming Linyuan immediately assured.
Zi Qi lightly raised his eyebrows, then continued admiring Little Dot, more satisfied the more he looked. An Ancient Desolate Beast doesn’t need to ascend; he could go wherever he wanted, roaming freely between heaven and earth.
Having such a son, whether he was of his own bloodline didn’t matter anymore.
Little Fengning and the other children came to find Little Dot.
Sally’s heart suddenly clenched; she didn’t know if these children could accept the ugly Little Dot.
Yona, Shishi, and Frost had already transformed into human form, but they still preferred to play in their Beast Bodies with the other children.
When they saw Little Dot, the group of children was momentarily stunned.
Since they knew Welly was very handsome, his son should also be very cute, like Little Fengning, extraordinarily handsome.
But Little Dot…
Even Little Bell didn’t know what to say, staring dumbly.
“What’s wrong?” Sally nudged Xiaohao, who as the eldest brother, set an example for his younger siblings.
Xiaohao came to his senses, walked up to Little Dot, then turned his back to him, “Come on, Big Brother will take you to play in the outer garden.”
Zong Silu placed Little Dot on Xiaohao’s back.
Xiaohao ran outside with him on his back.
The other children also followed Xiaohao one after another.
Pei Xuan said to Sally, “It seems Little Dot has no effect on the children?”
Sally replied, “From the same mother, he is the youngest and should indeed respect his older brothers and sisters.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully it was not so bad.
“It seems that blood ties are indeed very important,” Zulu said. “Since we have all placed a Lineage Mark, isn’t Little Dot also our child?”
Sally nodded, “Yes. Otherwise, his absolute dominance could be quite troublesome.”
It wouldn’t do for there to be pressure each time they met each other.
“If Jian finds out about this child, he might do everything to get him,” Zong Silu said gravely.
Sally said, “I’m just afraid he won’t come; I, Sally, have never been easily scared.”
“Then how did you grow up?” Zi Qi asked teasingly.
Sally: “…That’s not important.”
…
Eastern Immortal Palace, Jiaoyi Hall.
Sally distributed an exam paper to each child.
Though Little Dot had just been born, he was fortunate to receive one too—participation is key.
The little fellow glanced left at Xiaohao and right at Little Fengning, not recognizing a single character. Yet, he was very docile, quietly squatting on the chair, calmly and without noise.
Sally walked over and touched his head, “Do you want to learn?”
“I do,” Little Dot replied.
Sally picked him up and arranged another desk for him, starting by teaching him to recognize his own name.
Surprisingly, the little guy got it on the first try, without needing to repeat it a second time.
Zong Silu came over and saw Sally teaching Little Dot to read, and said, “Let me take Little Dot; I am quite skilled at this.”
“That would be a big help. This child has a sharp mind, very smart indeed. Please take care and see how you can further stimulate his potential.”
Sally actually could have had Xiaomei use the nurturing Lineage System to specially design an education plan, but she definitely couldn’t pass up this opportunity to help Little Dot and other Father Beasts enhance their bond.
After asking a few simple questions, Zong Silu knew Little Dot was just as Sally had described, “I’ll take him to the side hall first; you can see how the children do on their monthly exam.”
“Alright,” Sally agreed.
While Little Shiyi was halfway through his exam, he suddenly jumped down from his seat and ran outside the hall.
The other children also noticed something and followed suit, running out as well.
[Host, the other children have come back.] Xiaomei said to Sally.
Sally paused for a moment, then added a dozen more examination desks, [Good, let’s see how they’ve learned.]
Xiaomei, [They’ve just returned and already an exam?]
Sally replied, [Of course, did they think they could escape their duties by being far from the emperor’s reach?]
As each of the young cubs ran into the hall and saw the new examination scrolls on each desk… they stopped in their tracks all at once.
Xiaoqi and Manman turned their heads and were about to dash back outside the hall.
Sally called out to stop them, “Come back here and sit according to the names on the desks.”
“Mom, we hardly ever get to come down here…” Xiaoqi cooed at Sally.
Sally hummed indifferently, “So what?”
Little Shib waved a small hand, “First, the exam! Play after the test is done.”
Everyone promptly found their desks and sat down. Sally prepared the hourglass.
Little Fengning noticed Little Beibei was missing and raised his hand, “Mom, where is Little Beibei?”
All the children looked towards him…
Sally knocked on the desk, “The timing has already started.”
Then she walked over to Little Fengning and replied, “Little Beibei isn’t here due to an issue with her talent; she’s currently in the Lower Realm. I’ll bring Little Beibei here another day.”
“Okay,” Little Fengning nodded and continued with his exam.
Sally looked at all the other children… It seemed like most of them already knew about the incident with Little Beibei.
Putao finished the fastest, not even a quarter of an hour had passed, “Mom, I want to find my dad.”
“Go ahead, he’s in the side hall, and there’s a new little brother too,” Sally collected the exam scrolls and smiled satisfactorily.
Xiaoqi looked at Putao and sneakily gestured with a claw, asking what the answer to the thirtieth question was.
Putao flicked his two tails and then left the hall… Xiaoqi immediately understood and marked the second option.
Manman noticed their interaction and quickly changed her answer.
Zong Silu was reading an article with Little Dot, “On a breezy and sunny afternoon…”
“Dad—” Putao called out.
Then he ran towards Zong Silu, suddenly stopped, and curiously stared at Little Dot, “Dad, who is he?”
“Your little brother, ranked twenty-sixth, pet name Little Dot, formal name Su Yunfan, and indeed, he is quite extraordinary.”
After all the children finished their tests, Sally handed the exam papers to Zong Silu.
Then she took Little Dot from his arms and introduced Little Dot to the children.
Indeed, just as Sally had thought, her sons took to Little Dot well and even enjoyed playing with him.
But her daughters were a bit more concerned about his appearance, especially Little Shiwu and Little Miqi.
Xiaoqi, surprisingly against Sally’s expectations, accepted Little Dot.
Manman, having gone through an unattractive phase herself, could understand and accept Little Dot better. As for Shib, he was somewhat indifferent, not minding but not particularly fond either.
“Little Dot will look better in the future,” Xiaoqi told Little Shiwu and Little Miqi.
“Then we’ll play together when he looks better,” Little Miqi flew off to find Xiao Tiantian.
Sally stroked Xiaoqi, “It’s alright. Both of them have high standards for beauty, no need to force them.”
“Mom, Little Fengning said Little Dot is also my brother; did Father Emperor raise him?” Xiaoqi, keen and perceptive, grasped the poetry from sparse hints.
