Chapter 619: Chapter 617: All Efforts in Vain?
…
Sally sat on a small stool, her head bowed, the picture of contrition.
Seeing Sally like this, Qing Linghuan found he had nothing to say; he ended up dryly stating, “Don’t let it happen again!”
“I promise!” Sally replied.
Little Shiwu swayed her fluffy tail, staring fiercely at Qing Linghuan, “Mom did nothing wrong! Taking us treasure hunting is not a mistake. Look at these treasures, you couldn’t burst them out even if you killed yourself.”
As she spoke, she dumped the contents of the Little Storage Bag, including a pair of black and white pearls.
Sally… must have played games too much!
However, Qing Linghuan’s gaze fell on the black and white beads, “These are the Primordial Divine Dragon Pearls. Each bead is equivalent to a full-force strike from the Ancestral Dragon! Did you really dig up the Ancestral Dragon Tomb?”
Sally did not respond because the beads had been given by the Tomb Guardian.
Xiaoshi replied, “We didn’t dig up the Ancestral Dragon Tomb; we didn’t even see the Ancestral Dragon.”
“Of course, you wouldn’t see him; the Ancestral Dragon isn’t dead at all,” Qing Linghuan said. He had discovered during this trip to the Hall of Divinity that the Ancestral Dragon’s divine status was lit up, signifying he had awakened from his slumber.
Sally blinked, “The Ancestral Dragon isn’t dead? Then why is there a tomb?”
“Having a tomb doesn’t mean he’s dead. Besides, the Ancestral Dragon is an Ancient Desolate Beast; he can’t die. His tomb itself is a fundamental part of Beast World.”
“…No wonder there were so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. We even encountered a Tomb Guardian.”
“There couldn’t have been a Tomb Guardian. You most likely met the Ancestral Dragon himself.”
Little Shiqi called from outside, “Fifteenth Sister, Seventh Sister said she wants to go play in the Fox Hole.”
Little Shiwu immediately gathered up the scattered treasures, placing them back into the Little Storage Bag, and said to Qing Linghuan, “Don’t bully Mom, or I’ll make you regret it.”
Upon hearing these words, Sally chuckled secretly…
Qing Linghuan choked a little, then sternly glanced at Sally before saying, “Dad didn’t bully Mom. She sneaked you all out for an adventure. I was worried.”
“Mom didn’t make us take risks. We were just treasure hunting, eating, drinking, playing, and having a great time. I’m heading back to the Fox Hole now, and remember, don’t bully Mom!” Little Shiwu ran off.
Sally’s laughter grew louder, “The kids are great; they’re closely related to their mother.”
Qing Linghuan curled his lips, “Of course, but they’re also close to Dad.”
Sally teased, “What’s the name of the Ancestral Dragon?”
Qing Linghuan eyed her suspiciously, “Why do you want to know his name? You better not be…”
Sally quickly shook her head, “No, no, no, I really didn’t attract any unwanted attention.”
Qing Linghuan scrutinized her, especially her face, then said, “Even if you tried, you wouldn’t attract his attention. The lady who once tried to seduce Yan Yuan Gang couldn’t stir his stony heart, and your looks compared to hers, are miles apart!”
Sally was speechless, “Do I need to?”
“Jian is now in the Dark World Continent, still searching for the essence of the Demon God.”
“Let him keep searching there.” Sally did not want to see him, out of sight, out of mind.
“He won’t find it anyway.”
Qing Linghuan said, “Oh? You seem eager to know where the Demon God is.”
Sally recounted her encounter with the actual Demon God in the Guping World to him.
Qing Linghuan usually seemed simple-minded, but when faced with such matters, her reaction was extremely quick. “Then he must not be dead, but has reincarnated through another body. The reason the system couldn’t catch him is due to his method of reincarnation. Divine Status usually cannot leave the Beast World, so the observers and Demon Gods in other worlds must all be his incarnations.”
“Why are there so many incarnations?” Sally furrowed her brows.
“This should be related to his Innate Divine Ability. Just this time, his true form left the Beast World and you also killed him, then except for the incarnation that inherited the Divine Status… no, now it should be called the true form. The other incarnations have already died,” Qing Linghuan explained, her expression changing as she stared intently at Sally. “He got killed by you on purpose!”
“You’re making me confused,” Sally furrowed her brows. “Why would he want to be killed by me on purpose?”
“Because of the constraints of the Law!” Qing Linghuan asked, “Did he settle scores with you before he died?”
“We settled everything.”
“Apart from the reversal of time ten thousand years ago, and this Great Battle of Gods and Demons, he didn’t exert much effort, nor did he cause further calamities. Especially towards you and the children, there was no substantial harm. Xiao Qingqing even saved Little Shiyi, Little Shiba several times… It can be said, he didn’t owe you anything. Even if he killed Haotian and Divine Monarch Yuan Gang, he was actually eliminating threats for you.”
Reflecting upon it, Sally replied, “It can’t be said that he owes nothing; when he helped deliver Little Ershi and Little Shiba, he took away the two strands of Hongmeng Pure Qi that were born with Qilin. Those two strands of Hongmeng Pure Qi were filial piety from the children.”
“That makes sense. Hongmeng Pure Qi can create a Divine Body, it’s a great tonic for you. And he took it probably to create a Divine Body.”
“Couldn’t he just replace evolution?”
“The replacement might not be the body he wanted. After all, a replacement is just a substitute, not what he desired.”
“So by killing his true form, it means he repaid the Hongmeng Pure Qi he owed me, and even conveniently helped me eliminate those incarnations!”
“Two birds with one stone. Especially since with those incarnations dead, the Divine Power within them would all converge back to the Divine Status,” Qing Linghuan admired.
Sally felt frustrated, “Then all this hustle and bustle I’ve been through was just making a wedding dress for someone else, a waste of effort.”
“He said we’re even, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we are completely settled. If there’s still residue, it will have to be repaid sooner or later.”
“Hmm, at least there’s no need to worry about him replacing my children anymore, so it wasn’t a total waste of effort,” Sally said, her greatest fear still being Linai replacing her children.
“That depends on whether his reconstructed body has the ability to replace,” Qing Linghuan replied.
“…You’re not suggesting we need to continue looking into Linai?” Sally sighed deeply.
Qing Linghuan embraced her, “Let’s not worry about Linai for now. Think about how you’re going to compensate me for all this running around and worrying.”
Sally blushed slightly, hooking her hand around his neck, “However you wish to enjoy it!”
“That’s your agreement!” Qing Linghuan said as he embraced Sally and teleported away…
You Hao watched Yangyang and Xiaoxiao, not blinking, because his intuition told him they were about to hatch, and he wanted them to see him first when they opened their eyes!
Thus, when Qing Linghuan carried Sally away, he did not stop them.
“Dead Fox, you got lucky this time, but next time I definitely won’t let you succeed!”

Zong Silu, holding a daughter on each side, arrived at the Eastern Immortal Palace.
Zi Qi was teaching Little Dot to read. Seeing the three of them, he smiled, “What brings you here?”
“On the contrary, I’m here to ask His Majesty to help look after Little Lulu and Xiao Susu for a couple of days. Xiao Susu is well-behaved, but Little Lulu… you probably have more experience,”
“Haha~ sure, keeping them here is no problem at all,” Zi Qi also liked these two girls very much.
Little Lulu directly jumped from Zong Silu’s arms and threw herself into Zi Qi’s arms, “Father Emperor, I’ve missed you.”
Zi Qi looked at Zong Silu.
Zong Silu helpless, “She has been playing with Little Miqi for a few days, and has learned it all.”
