Chapter 734: Chapter 732: Soul Leaving the Body in a Dream
“If it weren’t for my ability to trace time, I really would have no way to defend myself,” Sally said, raising her hand and letting Xiaomei play a video of the events that had just unfolded in the palace.
“My Lord of the Six Demon Kings, it wasn’t me who stole your Beast Husband; he wanted a child badly enough to defy both the Immortal and Divine Realms to snatch me.” Her Beast Husbands included a God Venerable, a Divine Monarch, and even an Immortal Emperor… even the System Master… Thinking about it, she dared not provoke them to jointly trouble her, let alone Luo Chuan.
Luo Chuan appeared to realize the situation belatedly, his mouth twitching slightly, but soon he adopted an indifferent attitude as if a dead pig doesn’t fear boiling water, “Worst case, I’m cut off; without offspring, my lineage ends anyway.”
Sayana Shar’s beautiful face turned livid with rage, her furious gaze nearly lethal as she stared at Luo Chuan, “You fool!”
“Tch,” Luo Chuan stood up, addressing Sayana Shar, “If you could have children, would I need to snatch Frans’s?”
“You married me for my power, never mentioning children. I can find you a female who can bear them!” Sayana Shar’s voice faded with her mention of offspring.
“My child, do you think just any female could bear one? And even if they could, could they bear one of God Rank? If not, don’t even bother speaking.”
Sally quietly left with Little Miqi.
Better to stay out of other people’s family affairs. After all, she had clarified the facts to Sayana Shar; whether she could control her partner was her own business.
As for Luo Chuan abducting him, that could be discussed later. In fact, considering Sayana Shar’s influence, she couldn’t really pursue the matter.
Frans, holding his young son, looked up to see Sally and Little Miqi coming back, both appearing unharmed just as when they left, and he finally relaxed.
“I must handle Luo Chuan.”
“Father, I’ve clarified boundaries with Luo Chuan. From now on, he’s no longer my godfather, and I won’t go to the Western Demon Realm again,” Little Miqi rushed into Frans’s embrace.
Frans busily comforted his daughter first.
Sally held her young son. “Luo Chuan and his wife have started fighting. After all, Sayana Shar is a sister to Welly and the others. I decided to bring Little Miqi back first.”
“Hmm, indeed, it’s not a good situation for you to handle; leave it to me,” Frans, cradling Little Miqi, comforted her with gentle pats.
Due to Little Miqi’s talent, he always worried she might one day cause a major, unmanageable problem, so he was particularly strict with her.
Luo Chuan, however, indulged Little Miqi’s whims; whatever she wanted, or whatever she wanted to do, he permitted, leading the young girl to naively take him as a father figure.
He had predicted, given Luo Chuan’s cunning nature, that this day would come eventually, viewing it as a lesson for the young girl.
Sally nodded. “In the next few days, I want to return to the Divine Realm and send the children back.”
Upon hearing about returning to the Divine Realm, Little Miqi clung to Frans even harder, “Father, Little Miqi will miss you; Little Miqi loves you the most. Can’t I stay by your side forever?”
“No,” Frans replied firmly.
Sally, holding her young son, lay down on the soft couch and soon drifted into a drowsy sleep.
Frans, seeing this, carried Little Miqi out to continue counseling her.
…
In her dream, Sally flew lightly through the air.
Suddenly, something huge enveloped her!
She tried to make out its features, only making out parts of dragon horns and the gold body of dragon scales; looking up, she suddenly met a pair of large, dark gold vertical pupils!
Sally was startled and woke up with a shock from her dream.
However, the unfamiliar surroundings left her disoriented for a long while.
She was currently sitting in a muddy courtyard just after a rain, her clothes damp.
In front of her was a small house made of wood frame and mud walls, with a pile of messy firewood in the corner.
‘Gurgle~’ Her stomach growled, followed by an overwhelming sense of hunger that nearly drowned her!
“Xiaomei? Where is this? What happened?”
There was no response; Xiaomei did not reply to her.
“Xiaomei?” Sally tried to mobilize her spiritual sense to internally view the Offspring System within her body, but there was no response whatsoever.
She wanted to transform back into her beast body, yet there was no change at all.
She was still human, surrounded by a muddy environment, starving to the point where her stomach clung to her back, occasionally experiencing dark spells and dizziness.
“Still alive?”
A deep and mellow voice sounded, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Sally looked in the direction of the voice.
It was a man, wearing a hat and exceptionally tall and lanky.
He was holding two fat fish in one hand and a pig, at least four hundred pounds, in the other, standing at the crooked gate.
Sally’s vision darkened, and she finally passed out from hunger.
When she woke up again, Sally learned about her current predicament through a woman named Mrs. Zhang.
She was now human, in the Human Realm!
She was back in the Yunxi Continent she had once visited.
She was now hosting the soul in a human woman named Wu Xiuer. The reason for this should be related to the dragon she saw in her dreams, which showed only its eyes but not its entire head and tail.
And the man she had seen before losing consciousness was none other than Wu Xiuer’s husband, Dongfang Yi.
The Yunxi Continent had just emerged from a state of war.
Where there is long separation, there will be unification and where there is long unification, there will be division; four countries and three dynasties merged into a single Chu Dynasty.
Dongfang Yi was originally from Chu Country, conscripted into the army five years ago, and later word came that he had died on the battlefield.
Dongfang’s mother felt that her son, without a wife in the afterlife, was lonely and pitiful, so she arranged for a matchmaker to find him a wife based on his horoscope—even a deceased one would do.
Because Wu Xiuer was lazy and foolish, she was despised by her family, who claimed no other family would want her; eventually, she was sold to the Dongfang family for one tael of silver.
Dongfang’s mother didn’t expect that the matchmaker would bring a living wife. Although this wife was lazy and somewhat spiritless, she was still a virgin, and Dongfang’s mother was willing to take care of her.
Fate is unpredictable; a month ago, Dongfang’s mother suddenly fell seriously ill and died.
With no one to care for her, Wu Xiuer was on the verge of starvation, leading to Sally’s spirit inhabiting her body.
After Mrs. Zhang bemoaned the situation of the Dongfang family, she changed Sally’s dirty clothes and hurried off to collect the new calendar grain issued by the Chu Dynasty.
To win the hearts of the people, the emperor of the Chu Dynasty had decreed the distribution of new calendar grain in the first year of his reign, ensuring that every citizen of the Chu Dynasty could collect two kilograms of rice flour every day for three consecutive months.
Sally sat blankly on the bed, staring motionlessly at the dilapidated window.
Although she understood her current situation, she had no clue how to escape this predicament and return to her beast body in the Beast World.
Dongfang Yi entered the room and glanced at Sally’s appearance, coldly saying, “Living like this, you might as well be dead.”
He turned around and went out to kill and clean up the fish in the yard.
During this, he took off the hat on his head, revealing a strongly defined and resolute face. His eyebrows, sharp and slanting towards his temples, his eyes hawkish, nostrils as if carved, lips thin and merciless, his skin bronze—a truly rare handsome man. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Dongfang Yi saw only some dirty rainwater in the jar, cleaned it up, and carried a bucket to the well in the corner of the yard to draw water.
The clear water, under the sunlight, radiated a glow similar to that of gold.
