Chapter 661: Chapter 659: Birthday Banquet
Old Madam Ming stood by the Teleportation Array, full of anticipation.
The banquet was ready; all that was missing was Ming Linyuan and the others.
Old Madam Ming looked up at the sky, unsure if Sally could bring the kids down, especially since they had already ascended to the Divine Realm.
Little Shiyi came over, chewing on a piece of jerky.
“Grandma, there’s no need to wait. When Dad and the others arrive, they’ll naturally come to the banquet to find us,” Little Shiyi said while eating.
Old Madam Ming smiled, “It’s alright, go and join your classmates.”
Little Shiyi had also made quite a few friends at the Divine Beast Academy; those who knew it was Old Madam Ming’s birthday had come early to offer their well-wishes.
“Little Fengning and the others are here,” Little Shiyi said, and then suddenly sensed something and turned to look at the Teleportation Array.
A flash of white light twinkled, and within the Teleportation Array, Sally and Ming Linyuan arrived with a group of children.
Seeing the group of children, Old Madam Ming thought she was seeing things. How could it be possible? They had all arrived! Even Little Shier, who had ascended to the Divine Realm long ago, was there, along with several other descendants she had never met before.
My heavens!
“Little Shiyi, I am not dreaming, am I?”
“Old Madam, may Nine Thousand Years Old bring you auspiciousness, happy birthday!” Sally, holding Little Shiba, gave Old Madam Ming a kneeling salute.
Manman threw herself into Old Madam Ming’s embrace, “Grandma, Grandma, I’ve missed you so much.”
“Yes, yes, yes, this is great!” Old Madam Ming’s tears flowed uncontrollably, “I’m so happy. I never expected they could really return.”
The other children also swarmed around her, wishing their grandmother a happy birthday… the greetings coming one after another.
Zi Qi, together with You Hao, Qing Linghuan, Pei Xuan, Yu Yan, and Yin Zang, arrived a step later.
Seeing the lively scene, they couldn’t help but wear broad grins.
After the birthday banquet started, Old Madam Ming, listening to the children’s birthday wishes, had a joyful smile on her face, and gave each child a gift.
Even the students from the Divine Beast Academy who came to wish Old Madam Ming a happy birthday were not left out.
Watching the children happily hopping and jumping around the banquet, Sally said to Welly beside her with her hands propping her chin, “The Old Madam is really happy.”
“Yeah, you should eat something too. This mushroom sweet cake is made by me,” Welly served Sally a piece.
Sally was surprised, “Your culinary skills? Then I must try it.”
A piece of mushroom shaped like a star entered her mouth, delicious in its fresh sweetness and smooth texture, “Delicious! Your cooking has greatly improved!”
Welly, who had been somewhat nervous, slowly broke into a smile, “I’m glad you like it.”
Zi Qi came over to speak with Sally, “We’ll be leaving soon, You Hao, Qing Linghuan and I. Are you staying here today?”
“Yes, the kids will stay here for one day, and I’ll take them back to East Immortal Capital tomorrow,” Sally replied.
Welly, not knowing the situation, looked puzzled.
Zi Qi explained to him, “There are still some matters back at the palace. You stay here and help YanYan look after the kids, especially Little Dot, and don’t let him overeat.”
“Alright,” Welly agreed.
Qing Linghuan snatched away the mushroom sweet cake from Sally’s hand, “You Hao and I are going to the Demon Realm; we might not return for a few days.”
“To the Demon Realm? For what?” Sally asked, looking at You Hao.
You Hao replied, “He wants to fight; I’m going to watch him get beaten up.”
Sally: “…”
Ming Linyuan, hearing this, hurried over, “You’re leaving already?”
Zi Qi smiled, “There are some matters to attend to, YanYan and the kids are here.”
Ming Linyuan tried to retain them, but seeing their determination to leave, he reluctantly saw them off towards the direction of the Teleportation Array…
Old Madam Ming knew that Zi Qi and the others had come for Sally’s sake. Otherwise, what could make them come to celebrate the birthday of a Phoenix Clan old lady without even Saint Rank talents.
“YanYan, this is the best birthday I’ve ever had!” Old Madam Ming held Sally’s hand and slipped a Space Jade Bracelet onto her snowy, porcelain-like wrist.
“You don’t have to be so formal; this is what I should do,” Sally hurriedly tried to decline.
Old Madam Ming pressed, “Keep it well; otherwise, the old lady will be unhappy.”
“…Alright, thank you, Old Madam,” Sally accepted it.
“If we could also have a granddaughter, that would be even better, haha~” Old Madam Ming said with a laugh, seemingly joking but also expressing hope.
Sally replied, “Which means you have to take good care of yourself and wait to hold your little granddaughter.”
Old Madam Ming was startled, then looked toward Welly excitedly, “The old lady didn’t hear wrong, did she?”
“You heard right, Yanyan said she wants to give Lin Yuan another child.” Welly said with a smile.
Old Madam Ming was so happy that she could hardly speak, “Tha… Thank you, Xiao Yan.”
Ming Linyuan came over, saw them like this, and hurriedly asked, “What’s going on?”
Upon learning that Sally wanted to give birth to another child for him, Ming Linyuan looked at Sally with eyes full of tenderness…
Welly fully understood why Zi Qi had left, and he now somewhat regretted not leaving earlier.
…
The birthday banquet ended.
All the guests had left, Zulu, Pei Xuan, and Welly had also departed, but the children all stayed to lodge at Golden Phoenix Mountain.
After Sally soothed all the children to sleep, she went out.
She saw Ming Linyuan waiting for her outside, “What’s up?”
“Today is the full moon,” Ming Linyuan said with a smile.
Sally stretched out her hand towards him, “Mhm.”
The two of them took a walk in the valley of Golden Phoenix Mountain, sharing some interesting experiences with each other.
In the girls’ room.
They all woke up after Sally stepped out.
Xiaoqi was organizing the gifts she received today. From her Little Storage Bag, she first took out the Holy-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which she gave to Yona, Shishi, Little Bell, Little Beibei, as well as Little Lulu, and Xiao Susu.
As for the Divine-grade ones, if she casually gave those away too, she would end up crunching on a few Divine-grade fruits herself in the end.
Her Little Storage Bag was tidied up, leaving nothing behind.
Little Lulu accepted anything that came her way, not recognizing any of it. Eventually her Little Storage Bag was full, and Xiaoshi gave her another empty bag.
“Xiaoqi, you’re different from before, aren’t you?” Yona said with a laugh.
Xiaoqi sighed, “Can’t help it, my dad checked my Little Storage Bag a few times and couldn’t stand how messy I was, so he insisted I tidy it up before I could go out. After a few times, it became a habit.”
Little Shiwu thought for a moment, “I’ll tidy mine up like you do when I get back.”
…
In the boys’ room next door.
Xiaoba slept close to Xiao Tiantian, with the Little Golden Dragon coiled next to him, guarding him.
Xiaohao turned around, faced Xiaojin, and asked in a low voice, “Do you still remember the past?”
“I don’t,” Xiaojin replied.
“But you have a pretty pure lineage, and you’ve reached God Rank too.”
“Mhm.”
“I feel like you must have been no ordinary member of the Dragon Clan before. Do you think you might regain your memory one day?”
“Probably not. And even if I did regain my memory, I would still be my master’s Guardian Beast,”
Yangyang also joined in, tilting his head and peering at Xiaojin, then suddenly pecked him with his beak…
Xiaojin immediately backed away, “Don’t, don’t eat me, my meat doesn’t taste good.”
“I’m not eating you; I just have an itch in my beak.”
“…”
Little Shiyi and Little Shisan were checking the gifts they received and even exchanging with each other.
Putao and Little Shier were whispering to each other.
“When is Uncle Zong going to ascend?” Little Shier asked.
Putao replied, “Soon. Did Uncle Zhu really leave the Qilin Clan?”
Little Shier nodded, “He did. My dad is too gentle to be a king; it’s too exhausting for him. He prefers wandering and cultivating in solitude. He recently sent me a message, saying he found another Yunmeng Island out at sea, filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. I know he wants mom to have a look.”
“Then let’s take mom there.”
“…Is that okay?”
“Of course, it’s okay. When we return to the Divine Realm this time, I’ll invite you to visit Shenhui Island as my guest. Mom doesn’t know where Shenhui Island is, so we’ll just lead mom to the island where dad is.”
“Great, thank you, Brother Six.”
