Chapter 728: Chapter 726: Growing Up Means It’s Time to Fly
“What are Xiaoba and Father Emperor drawing?” Sally smiled as she approached.
Xiaoba immediately popped out from Zi Qi’s embrace and stood on the table, swishing his tail, “Mother, you’re here.”
“Mother?” Sally laughed, as all the children called her mom and she had almost forgotten that honorary title, “Yes, good boy~”
Xiaoba snuggled in her arms, “Just now, dad was teaching his son to draw.”
“…Ha ha, you call me mother and you call Father Emperor dad, it just doesn’t match up,” Sally looked at Zi Qi.
Zi Qi smiled, “You can call me whatever you want.”
Sally picked up the drawing Xiaoba had made… then looked at Xiaoba. The child was very beautiful, but his drawing was indescribable!
“What’s this?”
“This is mom, this is Father Emperor, this is Sister Xiaoqi, this is Xiaoba, this is Little Shiqi, and this is Little Dot.” Xiaoba pointed at five ink blots…
Sally was silent for a moment, then took out a camera from the System Space, set it to automatic, and summoned Little Shiqi, Xiaoqi, and Little Dot from their sleep, “Come, let mom give you a clear reference.”
With a click, a family photo of five was automatically taken.
Sally handed the photo to Xiaoba, “Son, try to draw based on this picture.”
“Okay, mom.” Xiaoba put the photo away.
Little Shiqi, still drowsy from the photo, fell back into sleep, leaning on Zi Qi’s embrace.
Xiaoqi, however, was awake and politely lay on Zi Qi’s shoulder. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
Little Dot squeezed next to Little Shiqi, both nestled in Zi Qi’s embrace.
Sally took photos of them with the camera.
Zi Qi, holding his heavy sons and touching Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, said to Sally, “Thank you, Yanyan.”
“Hey~ just saying it isn’t sincere enough, give me a kiss.”
…
Three days later, Ancestor Heng arrived.
With him came a very young and handsome man, whose expression was cold and who emitted an unapproachable aura.
He didn’t speak at all, just stood by Ancestor Heng’s side.
Ancestor Heng told Sally that he was his brother Qiu, and they were traveling together for training.
Zi Qi handed Xiaoba over to Ancestor Heng, his expression seeming calm but with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
The other children also bid farewell to Xiaoba.
Xiaoba happily said goodbye to them.
As the figures of two adults and a child disappeared, Sally leaned into Zi Qi’s embrace, sighing, “When he was still inside the egg, I was eager for him to hatch. But as soon as he did, he flew away.”
“Each of them has their own destiny; it was just a matter of time.” Zi Qi looked at the children around them, “Now I think about it, it was really good when you used to keep them all together.”
Once separated, who knows when they would meet again.
Little Shiqi, a bit slow to realize, suddenly jumped onto Zi Qi’s shoulder, “Father Emperor, where did my brother go to play? I want to go too!”
Sally couldn’t help but hit him lightly, “This silly nature must have come from me.”
“Ha ha~” Zi Qi hugged Little Shiqi, his smile gradually fading, “Your brother… he’s grown up and went out to find his own place.”
Little Shiqi replied, “I also want to find my own place.”
“Not yet, you haven’t grown up enough.” Zi Qi patted his head, then felt a pang of pain; the child never knew how to retract the horn on his head.
Sally looked at the other children, “Okay, anyone who wants to return to the Divine Realm, raise your hands, mom is starting to send the babies home~”
Not a single one raised a paw or a hand, they all swarmed off to play.
Little Shiqi also forcefully kicked Zi Qi and ran after them.
Zi Qi faintly felt a pain in his chest…
“It seems none of them have grown up,” Sally said with a smile.
Zi Qi drew her into his arms, “Now that they’ve all left, I can’t stand it either.”
“Honestly, does Xiaoba really have to go?” Sally asked, looking into Zi Qi’s eyes.
“Do you remember Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, who were to be sent to the Origin Realm?” Zi Qi asked softly.
Sally suddenly understood, “You’re not saying Xiaoba is going as a replacement for Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, are you?”
“Indeed, initially those two were chosen as the Guardian Beasts for the Origin Realm. Later, after the World Tree awakened, many Ancient Gods returned to the Origin Realm, and they were no longer needed. Xiaoba, as you thought, is not simply leaving; Ancestor Heng found a lineage for him to follow.”
“Xiaoba… as long as he is willing, that’s fine. Like you said, although he is in an eggshell, he is actually over ten thousand years old, and perhaps mentally more mature than we think. It’s just…” Sally buried her head in Zi Qi’s chest, tearfully, “I didn’t expect him to be the first to leave us.”
“They have to fly away when they grow up,” Zi Qi touched her head, initially feeling a bit sentimental. But Sally’s crying instantly dispelled the sentimentality, leaving only the need to console her.
…
“Ruins Cub Squad, assembled!”
Xiaohao stood at the forefront, chest out, head held high, full of determination and fiery spirit.
Sally looked at them speechlessly; during mealtime she had casually mentioned — whether they would like to go to the Ruins to test their training results.
The children immediately became eager.
They insisted on going to the Ruins with Pei Xuan.
Zi Qi agreed too, and even planned to accompany them.
“Alright, follow Your Majesty and be a good soldier, do not act recklessly, and obey the arrangements, understand?” Sally patted their heads one by one, with Xiao Zhaozhao standing last.
This little girl, too, insisted on going along.
Picking up Xiao Zhaozhao and kissing her forehead, “You must stick closely to your brothers and sisters, no running around, participation is what matters, there’s no need for clearing the Ruins.”
“Understood, Mom,” Xiao Zhaozhao obediently responded.
Zi Qi said, “Except for Xiaoqi, I will keep these little ones with me.”
“I’ll leave them in your care, I’m off to the Dark World Continent to claim the Fertility Awards, I’ll be back soon.”
“If you’re heading somewhere else midway, remember to send a message back home.”
“Alright!”
…
Dark World Continent.
Sally left the player’s inn.
This place had never changed, [Xiaomei, this game world is pretty sturdy. I thought it wouldn’t take many years for it to collapse.]
[Xiaomei has always been developing new maps, and the Main System has been optimizing the game world.]
[Hmm, that’s good. Next time I’ll bring the little ones to play together.]
[Okay, Host.]
Sally entered a fast-food restaurant by the roadside, ordered a hamburger and a glass of juice.
After sitting down, she had Xiaomei upload the birth data of the Little Angel to the Main System.
