Chapter 678: Chapter 676: Another Lazy Baby
…
After returning to the Beast World, Sally first sent the children back to the Eastern Immortal Palace.
Zi Qi looked at Sally, whose face had rounded, and her significantly pregnant belly, and chuckled, “How many?”
“Xiaomei said there’s only one, and it’s a little mouse.” Sally stroked her rounded belly.
“Really? But it doesn’t look like it to me.” Zi Qi even reached out to feel it, waiting for the baby’s movement to kick his hand.
But after waiting for a long while, Zi Qi didn’t feel anything and lightly said, “Another lazy baby.”
“Exactly, it didn’t come out even when it was due. I was busy with a mission then so I didn’t bother with it, especially since Xiaomei was watching. But unexpectedly, it really wouldn’t come out.”
Sally said while looking at Xiaoba, who was being forced by Xiao Tiantian to accept an “energy-less gift,” “She won’t keep clinging to my belly forever like Xiaoba.”
Zi Qi: “…”
Pei Xuan arrived just in time to hear Sally’s words, and looking at her belly, he understood, “Xiaoba clung to the eggshell for more than ten thousand years, and if she clings that long—”
Before he finished speaking, Sally’s face turned green, “No way, I’m heading to the Demon Realm now, the baby’s your responsibility.”
Sally hastily said her goodbyes and returned to the Eastern Demon Realm.
Welly had prepared a comfortable delivery room and plenty of food.
Sally ate and drank to her satisfaction, then lay in the delivery room, waiting for the baby in her belly to make a move.
However, a day passed with no signs of activity.
Sally got hungry, got up to eat a big meal, then continued to wait.
Two days went by, still no signs of activity.
Sally was hungry again, but this time decided not to eat, letting the baby inside know that it was time for her to come out and eat.
Welly came over with delicious food.
Seeing Sally looking like she was going on a hunger strike, he coaxed, “Maybe you should eat a little, it doesn’t matter if she’s hungry, but you shouldn’t starve yourself, otherwise Uncle Zulu and the others would blame me for not taking good care of you.”
“That won’t happen, my melon seed face has turned into a round face, how could they say you haven’t taken care of me?” Sally raised her hand to look at the back of her hand, noting the slight fleshiness, “Looks like I need to lose some weight.”
“No need, being plump and round is prettier.” Welly handed Sally a freshly baked meat-stuffed pancake, crispy and golden on the outside with marbled meat filling, “Here, eat more.”
“…” Sally drooled and at last, couldn’t resist starting to eat.
With that meal, the baby inside once again showed no signs of activity.
Eating and drinking, day by day, another month quickly passed.
When Frans heard the news, he asked Sally to come to the Holy Palace, thinking that a change of scenery might induce labor.
Sally thought it made sense, at Welly’s she just couldn’t keep her mouth shut. At Frans’s place, she would fast for sure, determined to starve the little tyke out.
But if she told Welly the truth, he definitely wouldn’t let her leave.
So Sally told Welly that she wanted to eat the dish “God Jumping Wall” and took advantage of his time learning to cook it with Uncle Zulu to leave a note and exit the Demon Realm.
Little Miqi and her older siblings were back at the Holy Palace. The little one, finding it boring at home, wanted to go back to the Eastern Immortal Palace to play.
Just about to leave, they saw Sally arrive.
Immediately, they started jumping happily and shouted: “Mom—”
Sally patted her head, unable to hug with her ballooned belly, so big she could place fruits or something on it and use it as a little dining table.
“Where’s your father?” Sally asked.
Frans teleported over, staring at Sally’s huge belly in shock, “How many did you have?”
“Just one little mouse.” Sally patted her belly, “All soups and fluids.”
“…” Frans reached out to touch it, and after a long while of no movement, he wondered, “Why doesn’t this child move?”
“Yes, Zi Qi said this is a lazy baby,” Sally sighed. “Xiaoba is fine since he’s just lingering in the eggshell, but this one is directly lazing around in my belly.”
Little Miqi raised her hand, “Mom, is my little sister cultivating in your belly, practicing Innate cultivation inside the womb, doubling the effort?”
“Cultivating?” Sally quickly asked Xiaomei, “Is the child really cultivating?”
Xiaomei replied, “She just lies there without moving, and her development data is normal.”
A Sound Transmission Talisman from Welly arrived.
Sally opened it— “Yanyan, I made God Jumping Wall, come back and taste it, and if it’s delicious, bring some back for Little Miqi and the others.”
Little Miqi, being a foodie, immediately stealthily opened a teleportation gate to go to the Demon Realm.
Sally grabbed her, instructing, “If it tastes good, remember to bring some back for mom.” n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
“Mhm, no problem!” Little Miqi nodded and went to the Eastern Demon Realm.
However, this trip not only brought back food but also people!
Sally: “…”
She was just supposed to bring back some dishes, not package the chef as well.
Welly settled into the Holy Palace for a short stay, taking responsibility for preparing Sally’s hearty meals every day.
It must be said, practice makes perfect. Even if he wasn’t particularly talented, with multiple practices, he was able to create quite a few tasty dishes.
Even the Royal Cook of the Holy Palace had nothing but high praise after trying them.
Frans felt a bit nauseous and left the palace to find Ethan.
“What?!” Ethan couldn’t help but spit out his beer, “You want to learn how to cook.”
“Making a fuss over nothing…” Frans patted the beer foam off his clothes, “Hurry up and prepare a few recipes for me. I want to impress Yanyan!”
“Not to sound mean, but cooking also requires a knack. Some people get it right off the bat and just need hints. But you, I think you should spare the ingredients.”
“Boss—order a grilled fish set, to go, and another beer,” a customer shouted at the entrance. “I’ll come to pick it up in fifteen minutes.”
“Alright,” Ethan replied, then looked at Frans, “Didn’t you want to learn cooking? Start with this grilled fish set.”
“Mhm.” Frans eagerly followed Ethan into the kitchen.
…
At dinner, Sally’s table had an extra dish of delicious-looking grilled fish.
Sally took a bite, “Mmm~ really good!”
Little Miqi also grabbed a bite with her chopsticks, “Delicious, Uncle Wen’s cooking is just exceptional, almost catching up to Uncle Zulu.”
Xiaoshi corrected her, “Little sister, you’re mistaken, this was made by dad.”
Xiaojiu also took a bite, “When did Dad learn to make such complex dishes.”
When Frans took care of them before, he did cook somewhat on his own but those were very simple; complex dishes that required real culinary skill were definitely not his forte.
Little Shisan hearing everyone praise it, directly took a big piece and after eating praised, “Dad is amazing, not only does he have the most children, ensures the nation’s prosperity, but even his cooking skills are unmatched, too awesome!”
Frans, eavesdropping by the door, nodded continuously, thinking to himself that his youngest was really thoughtful!
Welly, carrying soup, saw Frans standing at the door and said smiling, “Your Majesty, why don’t you come in?”
Ever since he arrived at the Holy Palace, Welly had been very polite, respectfully addressing Frans as Your Majesty, giving Frans much face. Initially, Ethan heard a lot of rumors about Welly from Luo Chuan, but upon meeting him, he immediately changed his opinion. Welly, as the Demon Emperor of the Eastern Demon Realm, was truly humble and courteous, without any airs, and most importantly, he was good-looking, which even Ethan, a man, found appealing.
Little Shisan already knew his father was at the door, thus he praised so highly.
“I still have things to do, you go ahead.” Satisfied, Frans left to find Ethan, deciding to learn another dish.
“Alright, Your Majesty, take your time,” Welly replied.
As Frans hadn’t gone far, he heard Little Miqi run out from the hall, shouting, “Dad, Mom is going to give birth—”
