Chapter 635: Chapter 633: Sneaking Around Surely Up To No Good
“Sure,” Sally replied, suddenly her face grew serious, “You’re not planning on stealing kids, are you?”
“… No. I don’t steal, not even one.”
“Not even one? You want to take Little Fengning too?” Sally picked up a whip and cracked it at him.
Jian hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t, people will misunderstand that I have some special fetish.”
“No misunderstanding, you do have one,” Sally glared at him, but she retracted the whip anyway.
An old woman by the roadside smiled at their interaction, “What a sweet couple you two are, bickering and teasing each other, that’s a sign of a good marriage.”
Sally looked embarrassed, “Madam, please don’t misunderstand”
“Thank you, madam, my wife is just shy,” Jian interjected quickly.
“You’re young, with such thin skin, not even eighteen yet?” the old woman asked with a chuckle.
Sally blushed, feeling very embarrassed, “… Yes.”
Jian suddenly turned his face away, trying to hold back a laugh.
Sally’s face turned even redder, she hurriedly changed the subject, “Where are you heading, madam? Can we take you a short way?”
“No need, no need, my alley is just up ahead.”
“Alright then, take care, madam.”
“Yes, live well and have lots of healthy baby boys.”
“I will take your kind words to heart, madam, I’ll work hard at it,” Jian said with a shameless laugh.
The old woman walked away, laughing joyfully.
Sally reached out and tried to pinch his waist, but his muscles were too firm and she couldn’t get a grip. She then twisted his face instead, “My wife?”
“No no no, my dear wife, or even my dear consort is fine.”
“Get lost!” Sally said, laughing and cursing at him.
Jian drove the mule cart onto an arched bridge, “Yanyan, you really don’t care about Zhu Sanlang.”
Sally responded, “Whatever he wants to do, what’s it to me?”
“Yanyan, do you realize that speaking like that often means you’re very confident about something?” Jian looked at her.
“Why should I care about him?”
“You say I should care about him, thinking he’s vying with me for you? I’d be glad if he rolled as far away as possible. I just feel sorry for the three kids, with no mother by their side and their father remarrying.” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
“… Understood, I’ll swing by the Primordial Qilin Clan to check on the kids along the way.”
“Mhm, Yanyan~ Let’s go release lanterns.”
“Let’s go.”
…
Two days passed, and Jian had no intention of leaving the Human Realm.
If he hadn’t known that Heavenly Dao had descended to the Human Realm, he would have followed Sally back without question. But now that he knew, he was determined to root it out! To take good care of it! To make it understand what settling scores after the fall harvest meant!
Sally took Little Dot and waved goodbye to Jian, heading first to the Outer World to let Xiaomei exchange enough energy, which she planned to use at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb.
Then she returned to the Eastern Immortal Realm.
As Welly was cleaning the dust at the entrance of the bookstore, he saw Sally coming back.
Immediately, an enchanting smile appeared on his face, “Yanyan, you’re back.”
Sally walked over and hugged him, “Welly.”
Welly was surprised by her reaction, as she was usually either cold toward him or kept her distance.
So this must mean she had talked things through with Jian.
“When I’m not by your side, will you look for other females?”
“How could I? Don’t I have his Luotian Butterfly mark on you, which binds me as well?”
“What?” Sally quickly opened the System Map, checking her back!
The Luotian Butterfly mark she thought she had removed had reappeared in its original spot.
[Xiaomei, when did he put it back on?]
[While the Host was sleeping.]
[…]
“Last time, it wasn’t him too, was it…”
“Yes, it was him.”
“That sneaky bastard, skulking around—he’s definitely up to no good.”
“Let’s keep him around, he could be useful in an emergency. His fighting skills are still quite good.”
“Just a brute, but simpler than you, easier to read.” While he was like a complex, unfathomable book. Indecipherable, yet she didn’t want to let go.
“Is that so?” Welly chuckled softly, “Yanyan, I might need to return to the Demon Realm while you’re at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb, Zi Qi said he got news about Linai’s Divine Status from Xiao Qingqing.”
Sally tapped her forehead, “Right, there’s Xiao Qingqing too, how could I have forgotten him? He must know where Linai is, right?”
“They say it’s in the Asura Realm, nobody is more familiar with that place than me, so I’ll go look for him.”
“Take Jian with you, he seems idle, yet he’s thinking about challenging the Heavenly Dao. Give him some advice. Since ancient times, rebellions have been started by the poor, and opportunists reap the benefits. Last time we unwittingly served the Heavenly Dao, don’t be foolish this time. If you’re really going to act, you should strategize first, not just knock on the door directly.”
“Hmm.” Welly agreed.
Sally looked at him, “He’s really different from you.”
“Actually, I should be a part of him.”
“I don’t want you to disappear. To me, you’re two separate people; you’re Little Fengning’s father, and he is Little Dot’s.”
Welly’s lips touched her forehead lightly, tinged with a gentle breeze, “Hungry? Shall we go eat at Zulu’s?”
“No, I want to taste your cooking!” As for Jian’s case, it was hopeless!
“Alright, I’ll get started right away.”
After staying in the Eastern Immortal Realm for two days, Sally headed straight for the Holy Palace.
Watching the children about to turn the Holy Palace upside down, Sally summoned them back to the System Space.
Suddenly, the entire Holy Palace seemed to hit pause, quieting down.
Little Beibei disappeared from Frans’s arms, who realized that Sally had summoned the children.
Sally teleported next to Frans, “The kids were being a handful, huh?”
“I like it.” Frans smiled, “Have you resolved your issues?”
“I have.” Sally answered.
“Did your cultivation base improve?”
“What?” Sally realized, “Could my cultivation stagnation be related to Jian?”
“Yes, you little confused one.” Frans stroked her head, “If worries linger for too long, they become inner demons, affecting not just cultivation, but also hindering Tribulation and Ascension.”
“I hadn’t even thought about Ascension.”
“How can you achieve Divine Status without Ascending? But if you do obtain it, you might not be able to leave the Beast World so freely, right?”
“Then, isn’t it better not to have Divine Status?”
“You should ask Xiaomei, see if Divine Status affects her.”
[It doesn’t affect me, Host can practice in both ways.] Xiaomei’s voice rang out.
Sally smiled, [Thank you, Xiaomei.]
Xiaomei’s voice sounded sweeter with a hint of playfulness, [You’re welcome~]
“Xiaomei says it doesn’t affect her.” Sally took a deep breath of Frans’s angelic essence, calming her down completely.
“That’s good then. Stay a couple more days before you leave.” Frans’s hand on her waist started to wander, kneading, not quite settled.
Sally’s slender waist soon softened…
When Sally was leaving, Frans insisted she visit the Primordial Qilin Clan, or she might regret it.
Sally knew he must have seen something in the river of time.
Could it be that Zhu Sanlang was trapped in some kind of predicament?
…
Little Miqi returned to the Su Mansion in the Divine Realm, holding a little white mouse.
Then she saw a little green snake coiled on the doorstep.
Sally transformed back into her human form and eyed the little green snake, “Who are you?”
