Chapter 612: Chapter 610: Once This Village is Passed, There Will Be No Such Shop
…
I don’t know whether her prayers worked, but Xiaomei said the resistance from before was gone, and now Sally could lead the children forward nonstop.
They crossed the lake and reached a valley.
This place was filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they were all Divine-grade.
Little Beibei wasn’t quite adapting well, so Sally put her into the System Space.
The other children began to dig up the Divine Materials and Earthly Treasures they fancied. Sally teleported up into the air to get a better view of the surroundings.
To her utter amazement, apart from the lake they had crossed, the other areas were endless mountains of treasures.
What on Earth was this place!
That’s right, she seemed to have come to the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, could this place be it – the Ancestral Dragon Tomb?
Who was the earlier apparition? A Tomb Guardian watching over this place?
Little Miqi flew among the myriad Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures flowering all around and suddenly spotted something, stopping in her tracks.
Little Shiwu was not far from her and sensing her abnormal behavior, immediately went over.
Another nest of eggs.
Considering Little Miqi’s earlier misfortune, Little Shiwu advised, “Forget it, even a powerful dragon doesn’t suppress the local snakes. We are outsiders, so let’s turn a blind eye to these natives.”
“Alright.” Little Miqi suppressed her urge again and again until she refrained from going after the nest of eggs.
Sally said to Xiaohao, “Son, watch over your brothers and sisters, Mom is going to check out the area ahead.”
Xiaohao was digging up a piece of Millennium Thunder Fire Grass. Hearing Sally’s words, he lifted his muddy face from his digging. “Understood, Mom.”
Sally smiled and walked ahead.
A narrow mountain stream, winding and turning, came into her view, appearing to join the lake at the end.
Next to the stream, she crouched down to scoop up a handful of water and took a couple of sips. It was just as sweet and refreshing as the lake water, but the Spiritual Energy was even richer.
Suddenly, on the other side of the stream, a figure shimmered into view and a deep voice, seemingly puzzled, asked, “Where did those children come from?”
Sally blinked and said with a smile, “I gave birth to them myself.”
“You, a mere rat, how could you give birth to an angel from the Western Divine Realm, a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox from the Eastern Divine Realm, a Divine Mystical Panther from the New Divine Clan, a Hybrid Beast, and a Mermaid from the Sea God Palace? Their bloodlines alone make it impossible.”
“May I ask how you are addressed? Are you the Tomb Guardian of this Ancestral Dragon Tomb?”
“You need not know.”
“Then you need not know how I gave birth to my children.” Sally stood up. “My kids are a bit naughty. If they have disturbed your quiet cultivation, please accept my apologies here.”
As for the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures they dug up, she had no intention of compensating for those!
The figure gradually faded, “Returning the way you came is the only way to leave this place, there is no other path.”
Sally grew silent.
It took a while before she turned back to look… the Flame Sea was no longer in sight.
[Xiaomei, what’s your current energy level?]
[We can’t go back.]
[He said there’s no other way, what do we do?]
[He definitely didn’t tell the Host the truth, ask again.]
[Where do I ask, I don’t even know where he resides.]
[Xiaomei can’t detect his presence either, we can only wait for him to show up.]
Sally returned to where the children were comparing who had dug up more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Xiaoqi was the most impressive, having found a million-year-old Nine-Purity Jade Gourd with nine gourds hanging from it, which conveniently meant one for each person in their group. Xiaoqi also didn’t overlook the Vine Root, digging it up with the soil to plant back at the Su Mansion.
Such treasures could cause a frenzy in the Divine Realm, yet here they could be found on any given mountain.
No wonder You Hao went straight to the Dragon Grave to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures when raising children… If they’re all like this one, it’s like waiting for people to come and dig them up.
“Once this village is passed, there’ll be no such shop, little treasures. Dig hard for treasures, got it?” It would be great if they dug up that guy and couldn’t resist sending them away!
“Okay—” Little Shiwu raised her furry paw high. Her dad was the poorest, so she had to dig up more. Otherwise, even New Year’s pocket money couldn’t be handed out during the holidays…
Little Miqi also raised her hand, “I want to dig up more too.”
Little Shiqi said, “It would be nice if Eleventh Brother were here, he loves and is the best at treasure hunting.”
“Yes, what a pity. It would have been better to bring all your brothers and sisters.” Sally smiled, “If we return smoothly this time, we’ll bring them along next time.”
When the children were tired of playing, Sally took out a foldable villa from the System Space and placed it next to the mountain stream they had previously found.
The baby girls in one room, and the baby boys in another.
Sally let them sleep on their own while she stepped out of the villa.
Looking at the stars hanging low outside, it seemed as if she could reach out and touch them, “Truly a perfect place for seclusion.”
In the following half a month, Sally didn’t see the shadowy figure again, but according to Xiaomei, he had appeared twice.
…
Early in the morning, Sally got busy.
With so many children, birthdays are sometimes overlooked. But the children themselves, and their Father Beasts, remember clearly.
Yesterday, Xiaoqi asked her what to prepare for Little Shisi and Little Shiwu’s birthday presents.
That led to the early morning hustle… cooking, stewing soup, baking cakes.
Two small golden Storage Bags for birthdays, one each for Little Shisi and Little Shiwu.
This place was filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, so those seemed quite ordinary. So, Sally prepared some special things.
Two photo albums, documenting their growth from birth until today, each significant day captured in miniature. Of course, these were created with Xiaomei’s help, who had everything in her database.
A few children gathered around Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, flipping through the albums.
On the cover was Qing Linghuan holding the two of them, with their silly smiles… The first photo that followed was of their descent to Divine Status.
Little Shiwu tapped the photo with her fluffy fox paw and a video started playing, causing all the children to watch in surprise.
Sally took a sip of red wine and stood up to stretch her back.
Seeing a shadowy figure not far away, she said to the children, “You all keep looking, mommy is going for a walk.”
The children, absorbed in the albums, hardly noticed, save for Xiaohao, who lifted his paw and waved, “Mommy, be safe. Call us if you need anything.”
“All right.” Sally replied, cutting a big piece of cake left over by the children, along with some other food and drink, and packed a basket.
She headed toward the direction of the shadowy figure.
“Today is my son’s and daughter’s birthday, join in the joy,” Sally offered the basket to the shadowy figure.
The figure reached out and took it.
Unintentionally, they touched Sally’s hand.
She had expected it to feel like nothing, but it was warm.
Sally was a little surprised, the shadowy figure should have been the result of a Blinding Method.
“Well, I’m heading back now. Enjoy,” she said.
Sally said this and turned to leave.
Suddenly, a box floated in front of Sally.
An antique purple sandalwood box engraved with dragon patterns and delicate auspicious clouds.
Sally turned around to find the shadowy figure had vanished.
She caught the box and opened it, inside were a pair of Treasure Beads, one black and one white, their radiance subdued.
