Chapter 653: Chapter 651: Ask Yanyan for a Child to Try
Ming Linyuan put away the Sound Transmission Talisman.
It didn’t matter whether she came or not, the fact that she still thought of him was more important.
Still, he tidied up the mansion behind the business, even changing into a new set of clothes, and examined his eyebrows and eyes in the mirror.
A pair of soft, snow-white delicate hands covered his eyes, and a weirdly disguised voice teased, “Handsome guy, guess who I am?”
“Yanyan.” Ming Linyuan pulled down her hands, turned around, and embraced her, “You’re really back?”
“I missed you, so of course I came back.” Sally took a deep breath near his neck, her body going soft.
Ming Linyuan also felt a surge of desire but controlled himself, his voice hoarse, “You’re, pregnant?”
Sally knew what he meant, and with a hint of regret, she said, “Rong Ruo ascended to the Divine Realm, I probably need to go to the Divine Realm to give Xiaoqi siblings.”
“Has getting pregnant become difficult?” Ming Linyuan held her as they entered the living room.
There, a table laden with delicious dishes and drinks was already prepared.
Sally’s eyes lit up, “So many yummy things, all the things I love.”
“Hmm, they were prepared just for you.” Ming Linyuan seated her at the head of the table and served her a bowl of appetizer soup, “Have some soup first.”
“It’s Rong Ruo who insists on natural conception, refusing to use the Pregnancy Elixir. So, we’ve tried hard during this time, but… it hasn’t been easy to conceive.” Sally sipped her soup as she responded.
“You and Your Majesty, were you both naturally conceived?” Ming Linyuan served her a plate of steamed fish.
Sally replied, “But both children were conceived during times of great emotional upheaval, similar to Huanhuan. But the time I spent with Rong Ruo has been very stable and happy, which I think is the reason.”
“No wonder, Your Majesty no longer wants his own children.” Ming Linyuan realized.
“Why?” Sally didn’t catch on for a moment.
Ming Linyuan replied, “If it were me, I wouldn’t want you to give birth again either.”
Saying this, he carried her toward the bedroom.
Sally kicked him twice, “Wait a minute, I’m hungry, I haven’t had dinner yet… ooh~”
In fact, Sally had received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Uncle Zulu while she was in seclusion at Jiushen Mountain. He told her that Old Madam Ming was about to celebrate her Nine Thousand Years Old birthday, and asked her to come back and discuss how to handle it properly.
That’s why Sally had come back.
As for Rong Ruo, just as they reached Tiger Tooth Mountain, the Divine Realm sent down the Divine Status and took him away.
After sending off Rong Ruo, she didn’t continue her treasure hunting journey but instead returned to Jiushen Mountain for more cultivation.
Meanwhile, Xiaomei was busy developing maps of the Ghost Realm and didn’t have time to bother with her.
…
By mid-morning, Little Shiyi arrived at the business looking for his dad.
Unusually, his dad, who loved to rise early, had not opened the shop, and customers were already waiting outside.
Little Shiyi first opened the doors of the business to attend to the guests.
After a busy period and sending away the satisfied customers, he then went to the backyard, headed straight for the bedroom to find his dad.
He didn’t find his dad, but he saw his mom lying in bed, sleeping in.
Feeling Little Shiyi’s presence, Sally beckoned him over, “Come son, sleep with mom for a bit.”
Little Shiyi blushed and scooted over, “Mom, why are you here, weren’t you in the Ghost Realm?”
“I’ve been back from the Ghost Realm for a while. I was just at Jiushen Mountain since my cultivation base showed signs of a breakthrough. Have you been behaving?” Sally lifted the blanket.
Little Shiyi crawled under the covers, smelling the sweet scent of his mother, suddenly feeling sleepy, “Yes~”
After speaking, the little guy fell asleep.
Sally gently stroked his smooth, golden fur, still only the size of a large cat. Her master Qing had told her that adult Treasure-spitting Mice were quite large too.
He was still just a little cub.
“Mom’s little baby, sleep well.” Sally gently patted him, and soon she fell asleep too.
Ming Linyuan went to Su’s Tavern.
Zulu had just mentioned finding Sally for him during the day, and Sally arrived that evening; it must have had something to do with him.
After asking, indeed, it was Zulu who had transmitted the message to Sally.
Ming Linyuan specifically thanked Zulu and brought back some jerky porridge made by Zulu himself, which was Sally’s favorite breakfast.
“Yanyan, I brought your favorite jerky porridge, and it’s Zulu’s handiwork.”
Ming Linyuan entered the bedroom and, seeing Sally sleeping soundly while hugging Little Shiyi, a smile that reached deep into his heart appeared on his handsome face.
“Is anyone there?” someone shouted inside the business.
Ming Linyuan hurried out.
…
Suji Bookstore.
Zulu brought along a bag of freshly made jerky to visit.
Welly was teaching Little Fengning how to do homework.
Seeing Zulu with the jerky, Little Fengning’s eyes lit up, “Uncle Zulu, is this for me?”
“Yes, it’s for you,” Zulu said as he patted his head.
With the jerky in hand, Little Fengning said to Welly, “Dad, I want to go find Little Beibei and Little Dot; they really like the jerky that Uncle Zulu makes.”
“Go ahead.” Welly nodded.
Little Fengning took out an Instantaneous Movement Talisman and went to the Eastern Immortal Palace.
“I heard Old Madam Ming is having a big birthday celebration, what’s being done about it?” Welly listened to what Little Fengning said.
Zulu nodded, “Yanyan is back now, staying at Ming Linyuan’s place, let her handle it. How are things between you and Yanyan now?”
Welly was silent for a moment.
Zulu laughed, “You have saved up a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, ask Yanyan for a child. Whatever the relationship is now, it can’t get any worse, there’s nothing you can’t talk about.”
“No, actually things are pretty good right now,” Welly took a jar of wine and two wine cups out of the Different Space.
“Drinking in the middle of the day, and you call this pretty good?” Zulu didn’t believe his bluff!
“The jerky just now would have been enough for a snack, just right for a drink,” Welly scavenged the space and found a pack of dry teething biscuits that Little Fengning didn’t eat and threw to him.
Zulu looked at the teething biscuits and couldn’t help but click his tongue.
Then from the Spatial Ring, he took out a box of peanuts for drinking, “Use these instead.”
“These are better.” Welly poured two cups of wine and picked a peanut to eat.
“Where’s Jian?” Zulu asked.
Welly paused, “He… has returned to the Origin Realm.”
Zulu couldn’t imagine, “What place is the Origin Realm?”
“The resting place of the Ancient Gods.”
“Why?”
“Ancient Gods, living as long as heaven and earth, each with their own duties. If they are of no use in the Lower Realm, they must return to the Origin Realm.”
“How can he be of no use, Little Dot still needs his care.”
“He needs to be recognized by the Origin Realm.”
“Actually he really didn’t have to go back, the Origin Realm wouldn’t forcibly summon him.”
“Could it be… because of Little Beibei? I see Little Beibei has been quite good to you, she probably doesn’t harbor any resentment towards him anymore.”
“Yes. Before he left, he gave me part of the Divine Root, so I can survive independently from now on.”
“He handled that matter properly,” Zulu and Welly clinked their glasses.
Welly smiled and drank a full cup.
