Chapter 634: Chapter 632: The Eyes of the Masses are Crystal Clear!
Tianhu Mountain, Fox Hole.
Qing Linghuan sneezed, feeling that someone was cursing him. It must be that dead bird, unsatisfied because its son had been snatched away.
Good! Unsatisfied is just right!
Qing Linghuan swayed his Heavenly Fox tail and comfortably settled down to sleep.
After he fell asleep, a little green snake arrived at the entrance of the Su Mansion. Its neck was adorned with a splendid purple-gold bow, and with a flick of its little tail, Divine Power struck the door, making a resounding ‘dong’ sound.
“Hello, I’m Xiao Qingqing, here to find Little Shiyi.”
…
Capital of Rouran Country—Fallen Moon City.
Sally, holding Little Dot, entered the city in a mule cart, drawing astonished and sympathetic gazes from the gate guards.
“Such a beautiful woman, married to such a poor man, what a pity.”
“Exactly, a beauty like her should be a noble concubine in the Imperial Palace.”
“What whispers are you sharing?”
“Boss, a beautiful lady just passed by, a rarity seen once in a millennium!”
“Hmm? Really? Where? Let me see.”
“That broken mule cart.”
“A fresh flower stuck in cow dung!”
“Actually, that cow dung is not too bad looking…”
Jian tilted his head, looking at the drowsy Sally, ignoring the idle chatter of the passersby.
However, Little Dot caught his gaze and spoke seriously, “The eyes of the masses are sharp as crystal!”
“…!” Jian’s mouth twitched, he patted his head, unconcerned, “It’s okay if Dad is poor, as long as Mom is rich.”
Little Dot looked at Sally’s dreamy eyes, clearly already lost in dreams, all that was missing was a pillow.
“Mom,” Little Dot called out.
Sally slightly opened her eyes, confused, “What’s the matter?”
“Dad said it doesn’t matter that he’s poor, as long as Mom is rich,” Little Dot said.
Sally came to her senses and covered her mouth yawning, “Hmm, it doesn’t matter. Your dad came with nothing, and will leave with nothing, waving his hand, leaving not even a hair behind.”
Jian: “… I’m not that poor.”
Sally glanced at him, “Did I say something wrong? Among those ancient relics from your time, which one isn’t draped in riches and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Whether it was carrying Little Dot or Little Fengning, I was starving enough, alternating between being hungry and full.”
“That explains it, in Mom’s belly, I always consumed some strange Soul Power.”
“It was everyone’s collective effort to raise you that got you growing up. Your dad owes a buttload of favors.” Sally took a bottle of milk from the System Space.
Little Dot happily took it and began to drink.
Jian was a bit embarrassed, “Later you give me a list, I’ll repay them one by one.”
“No need, now the child has my surname, officially Su Yunfan.” Besides, they also stamped the Lineage Seal, raising him was expected.
“Speaking of names, can you add one for me, called Su Yunfan Jian.”
“What do you think, Little Dot?” Sally did not outright reject him.
Little Dot looked at Jian, seeing his hopeful expression, and after a moment said, “Then his official name will be Su Yunfan Jian, and his nickname Little Dot Zi, is that okay?”
“Okay,” Sally responded.
Jian was somewhat dissatisfied, wondering why his son should go by someone else’s surname, but he also knew that Little Dot was now raised by Zi Qi, “Zi Qi really got lucky.”
“Lucky? What luck?” Sally disliked hearing that, “He personally took care of Xiaoqi, and now that Xiaoqi has ascended, he was directly taken by the Sea God Palace. Also, other young ones after their Ascension went back to their clans. He gave purely, his whole heart’s kindness, accepting and encompassing each child. Even Huanhuan has never spoken half a word against Zi Qi.”
“Hmph~” Jian huffed and said no more.
‘Bang—’ The sound of fireworks erupted, followed by gongs and drums, and the piercing sound of suonas celebrating loudly filled the air.
Sally covered Little Dot’s ears, fearing the noise would disturb him.
The little one didn’t understand what this was, “Mom, what’s happening?”
“Someone is getting married,” Sally laughed, “It’s a happy occasion.”
“What is marriage?” Little Dot continued to ask.
Sally replied, “Marriage is a ceremony where a man and a woman pledge to become family.”
Still puzzled, Little Dot asked, “Then why is it a happy occasion?”
Sally looked at Jian.
Jian immediately turned his head to look elsewhere, clearly not wanting to address this question.
Looking at the festive procession, Sally smiled and said, “It’s considered a happy occasion because it marks the birth of a new little tribe, which then procreates and gradually enhances the tribe.”
“Just like Mom and Father Emperor, Dad, Uncle Zulu, and the others?”
“…” Sally was momentarily embarrassed; her ‘tribe’ was perhaps overly large, “More or less. In any case, the purpose of marriage is to lead a better and happier life. It might be about emotional satisfaction, or it might be about changing one’s life, breaking out from a certain circle. Marriage becomes a very effective means.”
“Little Dot doesn’t understand.”
“Mom made it a bit complicated, to put it simply, it’s an essential phase of life, birth, growth, adulthood, marriage, childbearing, aging, death. From these points, you can see the importance of marriage, connecting a life’s first half and the second half. Eventually, Little Dot, you’ll get married too~”
“What stage am I at now?”
“Right now, Little Dot is in the growth stage.”
“Do you want to have a wedding ceremony?” Jian suddenly asked.
Sally was taken aback, “What did you say?”
“Marriage.” Jian said with zest, “I marry you, or you marry me, either way works.”
“We already have children, no need for such fuss,” Sally refused.
Turning her head toward the roadside, she saw a lantern vendor and called out, “How do you sell the lanterns? Where can I release them?” 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
“Keep walking forward, there’s the Celestial Maiden River. Today is the Qixi Festival, and everyone will be there releasing lanterns and making wishes tonight,” the lantern vendor said.
“Then I’ll take thirty lanterns,” Sally replied.
“Alright, please choose the styles of lanterns,” the lantern vendor grinned.
Sally chose one of each style, including lotus-shaped, fish-shaped, and peach-shaped ones…
Jian took care of the payment and even asked the vendor for a free lantern as a gift.
Sally was writing wishes and numbers on the lanterns, thirty lanterns for thirty cubs.
Upon seeing an extra lantern, she looked up at Jian, “Whose name do you want to write?”
Jian replied, “I’ll write my own name.”
Sally: “…Okay.” She handed him the pen.
Jian seriously wrote a name at the heart of the lantern—Sally.
Seeing his expression, Sally smiled and asked, “What wish do you have?”
“Find the Heavenly Dao, and kill him!” Jian declared firmly.
Little Dot also chimed in, “I support you! Go for it, come on!”
To Sally, it all sounded a bit like cursing…
[Aunt Xiaomei, is Little Dot playing the game?]
[He’s very good at it, just like Xiao Tiantian, and set a record for the shortest completion time.]
[…They should participate in gaming competitions, they could all win prizes.]
[Yes, Host, I’ve developed a new map and want Little Dot to help test it.]
[Alright, I’ll get him in.]
“Little Dot, would you like to help Aunt Xiaomei test the game?”
“Yes!” Little Dot happily replied.
Jian watched as Little Dot disappeared from his arms, “You still can summon the child?”
