Chapter 626: Chapter 624: Snatching the Son
After dinner. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Sally coaxed the children to sleep. Tonight, they slept in a big common bed, and each of the little cubs fell asleep not long after lying down.
Especially Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Xiao Tiantian, who fell asleep instantly—their heads hit the pillow and they were out.
Little Shiqi lay beside Xiao Tiantian, wanting to chat a bit more. But seeing him asleep, he closed his eyes too, and light snores soon followed.
Manman and Xiaoqi discussed going to Golden Phoenix Mountain tomorrow. Old Madam Ming had sent Sound Transmission Talismans, urging them over a dozen times, wanting them to come over to play and had prepared lots and lots of delicious food.
Sally walked over, touched Manman and Xiaoqi, “Go to sleep early, then you can set off for Golden Phoenix Mountain earlier tomorrow.”
“Okay,” Manman said, contentedly closing her eyes.
Xiaoqi looked at Sally, “Mom, go find Father Emperor.”
“Once all of you are asleep, Mom will go find your Father Emperor,” Sally replied softly.
Xiaoqi burrowed into Manman’s soft feathers, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
Sally grinned, looking at the children one by one.
She reached out to touch Xiaojiu’s face, soft and tender. Xiaojiu had lost some weight but had become more delicate and resembled Frans a lot.
Xiaoshi was still the same, a beautiful person in the making—who knew how charming he would be when he grew up. His favorite thing was playing with Little Miqi, but the independent angel baby had a mind of her own and would vanish in the blink of an eye.
Sally pulled down Little Miqi’s nightgown that had ridden up, covering her round belly. After all these years, her sleeping posture hadn’t improved.
A long leg lifted and draped over Little Shisan lying beside her.
Little Shisan, seemingly accustomed, shifted to give Little Miqi more room, while he snuggled up close to Shiyi to sleep.
Sally smiled and finally left the Sleeping Palace.
Zi Qi was waiting outside for her, “Are they all asleep?”
“They’re all asleep. They said they’re going to Golden Phoenix Mountain tomorrow,” Sally replied.
Zi Qi took her hand, “Are you really not upset?”
Sally knew what he was referring to, “Zhu Sanlang… to be honest, I always put him aside. The outcome he got is quite good actually, and that Rose Goddess, I have met her.”
“Oh?” Zi Qi expressed surprise, “Did you know all along?”
Sally looked up at the moon and stars in the sky, “Back then, the way she looked at Zhu Sanlang had a kind of admiration. You know, a woman chasing a man is hindered only by a thin veil.
As for me? I’m not by Zhu Sanlang’s side, and now he is the Clan Leader of the Qilin Clan. It’s not easy for a Hybrid Beast to hold that position; the pressure must be huge. With someone caring and gentle, it’s hard not to be moved.
In short… it’s a result of various reasons, it was bound to happen sooner or later.”
“He didn’t give you a mate mark, why?” Zi Qi didn’t believe Zhu Sanlang would have no intention of marking Sally.
Sally replied, “I refused. I’ve said before that if any of you found a female you liked, you could leave me anytime to pursue your other half. Of course, once you leave a mate mark, you probably won’t feel attraction to other females anymore.”
“You didn’t let Zhu Sanlang mark you, but he saw other Beast Husbands’ marks on you, how would he feel?” Zi Qi pinched her plump ear, “Intentionally?”
“Your Majesty, it seems you have forgotten. When you were marking me, I also refused. Who insisted on leaving a mate mark on me by force?” Sally teased with her eyes.
Zi Qi’s stunningly beautiful eyes darkened with desire, “…You won’t have a good sleep tonight.”
Sally coquettishly laughed, “Can Your Majesty’s body handle it?”
It was a blatant provocation.
Zi Qi lifted her in his arms, his husky voice landing in her ear, “Dare not to change into Beast Body!”
“I’m not daring, Your Majesty is the daring one~ I only have one field of water…” Sally leaned in to capture his lips…
…
Qing Linghuan and You Hao returned empty-handed!
Because of something Zhu Sanlang said—Yanyan rejected my Beast Husband’s marking.
Not surprisingly, the three little Kirins couldn’t be reclaimed either. The thing is, without a legitimate claim, there’s no point. Sally didn’t ask them to come for the little Kirins; they did it of their own accord.
“If Yanyan doesn’t regard him as her Beast Husband, why did she still have three cubs with him?” You Hao asked Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan thought for a moment, “Two reasons.”
You Hao looked at him in surprise, “What!”
“What do you mean, ‘what’?” Qing Linghuan glared at him.
“I’m just surprised, didn’t think your dim fox brain could actually come up with two reasons, spit them out and give me a laugh,” You Hao replied.
Qing Linghuan was immediately fuming and ready to throw punches.
‘Crack~’ The crisp sound of an eggshell breaking echoed.
You Hao was stunned and immediately flew back to the room.
Qing Linghuan was even faster, getting there first and holding the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Egg!
Just then, a pair of golden vertical pupils appeared from within the eggshell, gazing straight into Qing Linghuan’s face…
You Hao felt an uncontrollable urge to chop Qing Linghuan into three thousand six hundred eighty pieces!!!
“Qing Linghuan, this is my cub!” You Hao bellowed in anger.
Qing Linghuan, excited and animated, spoke to the golden vertical pupils: “I am your dad, my name is Qing Linghuan, your nickname is Yangyang, and your formal name is Qing Jiuchang.”
“Chirp~” The little one happily uttered a milky cry, eyes not blinking as they fixed on Qing Linghuan, as if to imprint his image onto its first memories.
You Hao snatched his eldest son from Qing Linghuan’s hands, “Son, I am your dad, my name is You Hao, your biological father.”
A fuzzy golden head, topped with an eggshell, stood up, curiously gazing at You Hao.
But after looking for a bit, it started eating the eggshell, showing no other reaction.
You Hao was on the verge of tears, glaring hard at Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan, delightfully entertained, reached for another uncracked Nine Heavens Kunpeng Egg!
“Dead Fox!” You Hao exclaimed in restraint.
The next instant, You Hao left with the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Egg in his arms.
Qing Linghuan, humming a cheerful tune, returned to the Fox Hole…
…
In the Holy Capital Continent, Holy Palace.
Xiaomei said to Sally, “Host, the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Eggs have hatched.”
“Oh? It seems it’s time to return to the Divine Realm.” Sally held Little Dot and looked out the window.
Frans was leading a group of children flying in the sky, getting farther and farther away, with no clue where they were off to play.
“Host, why take Little Dot to the Ancestral Dragon Tomb? Is it to prevent Jian from taking away Little Dot?”
“Little Lulu and Xiao Susu are coming too, so there’s even less reason to leave Little Dot behind. Let them witness the treasures of that place. As for Jian, unless I nod in agreement, Little Dot won’t go with him — he won’t snatch.”
“Host, Jian has arrived.”
A dark figure suddenly appeared behind Sally, with rich and rampant Demonic Qi, “Yanyan, give me back my son!”
Sally turned around, still holding Little Dot, facing Jian.
Upon seeing that Little Dot was right there, Jian hurriedly reined in his Demonic Qi and straightened his appearance before greeting Little Dot, “Hello, son, I am your biological father.”
