Chapter 655: Chapter 653: Chessboard of Stars
******
Night fell.
Welly gently patted Little Fengning, who was fast asleep, while his mind repeatedly went over Sally’s words.
She shouldn’t be lying to him; Little Fengning was naturally conceived. But how could that be? The prerequisite for natural conception is a deep affection, or at the very least, significant care!
Jian had said before that he was jealous of him… Now that he thought about it, it must have been because he knew Little Fengning was naturally conceived.
Then asking her to have another child might not be impossible.
Although Sally had agreed to have a child for him, before it actually happened, he always felt it was just a beautiful dream that would burst like a bubble as soon as he woke up.
…
In the Divine Realm, at the Su Mansion.
Sally came back with Little Miqi and Little Beibei.
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew toward her.
Sally caught it; it was from Rong Ruo—[Yanyan, Xiaoqi told me that Old Madam Ming is going to celebrate her birthday soon, and I asked her to find you. Also, remember to ask for the birthday gift for Old Madam Ming from her, otherwise, she will definitely keep it for herself.]
The mansion gate opened, and a beautiful little girl appeared inside the door, her appearance breathtaking.
Her ice-blue curly hair was tied in a playful, fluffy high ponytail. She wore a pink and white checkered little princess dress with luxurious pearls adorning her white leather boots, and a purple bag slung across her waist.
Behind her trailed a snow-white little fox, fluffy and with sparkling intelligent black eyes.
“Mother, welcome back,” Xiaoqi smiled.
Xiao Tiantian swayed her big tail, “Mother, welcome back.”
Sally put away the Sound Transmission Talisman and looked at them both with a smile, “You arrived faster than your dad’s talisman. Xiao Tiantian, you look so handsome today~”
Little Miqi directly rushed toward Xiaoqi. She liked Xiaoqi more than Xiaoshi, and when these two stood together in human form, their faces and eyes looked very similar, with their round melon seed faces being especially adorable.
Little Beibei also jumped onto Xiaoqi, “Sister Xiaoqi~”
Sally picked up Xiao Tiantian, enjoying the feel of his incredibly soft fox fur, “Where’s your dad?”
“He went to spar with Uncle Yu,” Xiao Tiantian replied.
Sally: “…”
Spar? More like he went to fight.
Sally sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to You Hao—[I’ve arrived.]
A hundred miles away from the Su Mansion, at Shenhuang Ridge.
The scene Sally imagined, where You Hao and Qing Linghuan were in an indistinguishable fight, did not happen.
Of course, under normal circumstances, these two did indeed fight.
Today, however, they were taking turns playing chess with an old man with white hair and a kind, benevolent face.
Then Sally’s Sound Transmission Talisman arrived.
You Hao caught it and glanced at Qing Linghuan, who was playing chess with the old man, “I’ll be going back first.”
“Is it because Yanyan has come? I should return as well,” Qing Linghuan wanted to get up immediately.
But with a calm glance from the old man, Qing Linghuan sat back down at ease.
“You Hao may leave,” the old man said as he placed a white chess piece.
You Hao smirked at Qing Linghuan, “That’s what happens when you neglect your duties, while I, as a Divine Monarch, have not slacked off for a single day. Now Yanyan is all mine.”
“Dead bird, you just wait!” Qing Linghuan picked up a black chess piece and said viciously.
But as he placed it, his expression became extremely serious!
You Hao teleported away.
The old man said to Qing Linghuan, “Actually, considering the merit you’ve earned for the Ancient Divine Clan by having a child, you could be pardoned for this dereliction.”
Qing Linghuan immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing to the old man, “Thank you, Ancestor Heng.”
“Continue the game.”
“…”
“Jian also has children in the Lower Realm?” Ancestor Heng asked.
Qing Linghuan carefully placed a black piece, “It’s an Ancient Emperor Beast, quite adorable with four heads. It must be a smart child.”
Ancestor Heng lifted his eyelids, “You have thirteen tails, yet I haven’t seen any growth.”
Qing Linghuan: “…Yes, my potential for development is enormous.”
“…And there’s a Son of Prime Demon?” Ancestor Heng continued to play.
Qing Linghuan was startled, nearly dropping the black chess piece in his hand, “Yes, but Yanyan switched his Primordial Demon Heart, now he’s just an ordinary Human youngster. However, once the Primordial Demon Bones awaken in the future, he will still become a Primordial Demon.”
“I want to meet Jian’s two children,” Ancestor Heng said lightly, sweeping all the chess pieces away with a wave of his hand.
The chessboard transformed… there were no longer any star positions on the squares, just a void, and the places where the chess pieces had been were now whole continents!
If he lost a piece, it would mean the destruction of an entire continent!
Qing Linghuan broke out in a cold sweat, “That might inconvenience Ancestor Heng.”
Ancestor Heng looked at him, silent for a moment.
…
Hearing that Sally wanted to take the children to the Lower Realm to attend Old Madam Ming’s nine thousandth birthday celebration, You Hao completely agreed.
He even prepared a generous birthday gift, asking Sally to pass it to Old Madam Ming on his behalf.
Sally accepted the gift, looking towards the door, “How come Huanhuan hasn’t come back? Weren’t you together just now?”
You Hao replied, “He might have gone back to the Fox Hole to sleep in.”
Sally tapped Xiao Tiantian, who was playing with a puzzle game, “Go find your dad, it’s time to eat.”
“Oh.” Xiao Tiantian took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, ——[Dad, Mom says it’s time to eat.]
Then he continued playing.
Sally: “…”
You Hao watched her, “Yanyan, I have something to ask you.”
Sally nodded, “Go ahead.”
You Hao replied, “If a child, due to dangerous Talent, needs to be sealed, what would you do?”
“Dangerous Talent? You mean”—Sally abruptly stopped speaking, glanced at the children playing, and walked towards the door.
You Hao followed her.
Sally asked, “Why do you ask?”
You Hao replied, “Although you’ve replaced Little Fengning’s Primordial Demon Heart, he is originally a Primordial Demon. What will you do when he grows up?”
“When he grows up, he can control it himself,” Sally felt that even if the talent was formidable, it wasn’t an issue, “Talents are like knives; in the hands of a chef, it’s just a kitchen tool.”
“But what if he can’t control this knife? You haven’t experienced the terror of a Primordial Demon Heart; you don’t know.”
“I have experienced it.” Sally raised her hand, devoid of any Innate Secret Technique, “I used to have Fire Attribute Talent, plus the hundreds of Innate Secret Techniques I got as rewards for giving birth, and I fed them all to him. In the end, I witnessed him devouring Taowu!”
“…” You Hao’s gaze grew increasingly solemn, “That means, he already possesses at least the Talent of Taowu.”
“Yes,” Sally replied. “Little Miqi was born at the same time as him; if not for Xiaomei’s presence, he could have devoured Little Miqi too. Thinking back, it’s really quite frightening.”
Listening to the laughter of Little Miqi from the room, Sally said, “Qing Linghuan got angry with me, even to the point of breaking off ties, all because of Little Fengning.”
“The Dead Fox never mentioned that to me,” You Hao replied.
“It’s rather embarrassing, of course he wouldn’t tell you,” Sally laughed. “He hid in the Fox Hole with the two kids, and back then I could still summon the children across dimensions…”
“Stealing the kids would indeed make anyone go soft. I’d be the same,” You Hao replied.
“But what truly reassured Huanhuan, no longer worrying about Little Fengning, was Xiao Tiantian’s birth.”
“A Nine-tailed Celestial Fox born with Nine Life Tails, inherently possessing Chaos Fire. And only Chaos Fire can kill a Primordial Demon in this world.”
“Yes.”
