Chapter 755: Chapter 753: The Dramatic Xiaoqi
“What are you muttering about?” Sally watched the two children with disproving eyes.
Xiaoqi quickly said, “Nothing, I was just saying this fish is very tender, telling my brother to eat more.”
Little Fengning played along with a nod.
Sally gave them a look, “Eat your meal nicely.”
Listening to Sally’s words, Dongfang Yi looked over at her… an image emerged in his mind.
A woman dressed in simple elegance, holding a large bowl of leftover rice and a small bowl of chicken meat, placed them at the base of the wall.
Soon a calico cat came over with two little yellow kittens and a little black kitten.
The woman told the calico and the three little kittens, “Eat your meal nicely~”
When Sally saw Dongfang Yi looking at her, “Great General?”
“…It’s nothing,” Dongfang Yi replied.
Chu Duo looked at them both, “Does Lady Su and the Great General know each other?”
“We don’t know each other.”
“We don’t know each other.”
Both spoke in unison.
Chu Duo’s smile held a bit of playfulness, “Lady Su and the Great General seem to have quite the understanding.”
Sally said, “Because we indeed do not know each other.”
“Your Majesty, I have a matter to report,” Dongfang Yi said.
“If it’s about the Empress’s maternal family, you can save your breath,” Chu Duo’s eyes flashed with evident displeasure.
“I am here precisely for matters concerning the Empress’s Wu Family clan,” Dongfang Yi was equally straightforward.
Sally took a sip of the wine and then let out a light cough.
Chu Duo looked at her, “Does Lady Su have a sore throat?”
“I drank too hastily. By the way, didn’t Your Majesty promise my daughter to talk about palace secrets? Maybe we should discuss that first. There is an order to everything, right?” Sally replied.
With slender fingertips, Chu Duo caressed the rim of his cup, his thin lips slightly hooked, “Fine. Then let’s start with this Wu Family.”
Sally glanced at Dongfang Yi, signaling to leave for now.
But Dongfang Yi furrowed his brow, “Your Majesty!”
“Do you have something else to say, Great General?” Chu Duo’s smile became deeper.
Seeing Chu Duo’s smile, Xiaoqi had an ominous feeling and suddenly left her seat, throwing her arms around Dongfang Yi’s leg; the little one barely reached his waist.
“Daddy!”
The crisp voice was like a sudden wake-up call. Everyone was taken aback, including Sally, who was dumbfounded, unsure of what her daughter was trying to pull off…
Dongfang Yi also stiffened completely, completely at a loss about the little girl, “You, you must have mistaken me for someone else?”
“She must have,” Sally replied, her warning gaze on Xiaoqi, forbidding her to mess around foolishly.
Xiaoqi took off a Little Storage Bag from around her neck, “This was given to me by Daddy.”
Meaning… since the Ancestral Dragon had given her a Little Storage Bag, she felt obliged to help him.
Little Fengning also caught on but he didn’t have Xiaoqi’s boldness. Although he had two daddies, in their mother’s eyes, both had their faults and had made mistakes. Not like Uncle Zi and Uncle Rong, who carried more weight.
“No, little girl… Not to mention anything else, with my big and burly frame, I couldn’t possibly produce a little elf with golden hair and green eyes, could I?” Dongfang Yi spoke and even lifted her up. She was soft and fragrant, incredibly endearing. If his wife were still alive, perhaps she could have borne him such an adorable child? At the thought, a trace of sorrow flitted through Dongfang Yi’s eyes.
Xiaoqi patted Dongfang Yi’s shoulder, “Daddy, my mother is an elf, and she doesn’t have black hair and brown eyes.”
“Oh? Are you saying that you’re the child of your mother and a human?” Chu Duo asked.
Xiaoqi pointed at Little Fengning, “Brother is too, and I have a pair of twin sisters who are also born from my mother and the Human Clan, incredibly adorable and beautiful, with exceptional talent.”
“Xiaoqi!” Sally chided gently.
Xiaoqi immediately lay on Dongfang Yi’s shoulder, whispering, “Mom is angry, Dad, go and coax her quick.”
This is not afraid of chaos, but afraid there won’t be enough of it!
Running to set the stage for the drama!
Sally raised her hand to her forehead, “You might as well just sell your mom directly.”
“Oh? For how much?” Chu Duo asked Xiaoqi, grinning.
Xiaoqi stretched out two little hands, three fingers on one, four on the other, “You need to prepare thirty-four gifts.”
“Let’s hear it, what are the gifts?” Chu Duo looked at Little Fengning, who was focused on eating her meal.
“Your Majesty, children say the darndest things, don’t mind her ramblings,” Sally hurriedly said.
Chu Duo said, “In front of me, there are no false words, what’s fake is also real.”
Dongfang Yi said, “So, do I indeed have such an adorable daughter?”
Chu Duo: “…Heh, weren’t you denying it?”
Dongfang Yi said, “Suddenly, I feel that having a daughter isn’t so bad, Your Majesty. I have nothing else to report and wish to take my leave.”
Having spoken, he walked away holding Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi, hugging Dongfang Yi’s neck, said, “Daddy, can you tell your daughter some palace secrets?”
“The previous seven kingdoms, which one do you want to hear about?”
“Yay~ I want to hear them all!”
“Alright, Daddy will tell them all to you.”
“…” Sally, lost for words, hurriedly said to Chu Duo, “Your Majesty, apologies, my daughter is usually spoiled and can be a bit willful.”
“No matter. Actually, there is something I am very curious about.” Chu Duo took a sip of his drink, “Can Lady Su really bear children with a human?”
“Why does Your Majesty want to know this?”
“Since I came of age at fourteen, now twenty-eight, for fourteen years I have been without a child. So I wanted to ask the Fairy if there is any miraculous method for bearing a child?”
“There isn’t,” Sally knew what he meant but she refused.
“Why?” Chu Duo inquired.
“Little Fengning’s dad is just of Human Clan origin, yet he has lived a thousand years.” He was human, but not ordinary.
Chu Duo understood, “Thank you, Lady Su, for clearing that up.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help to Your Majesty,” Sally said as she stood up.
Little Fengning also put down her chopsticks and said to Chu Duo, “Thank you, Human Emperor Uncle, for the royal delicacies.”
“Don’t mention it, you’re welcome to eat here anytime you are hungry,” Chu Duo said with a smile.
Sally took an elixir bottle out of the System Space and placed it on the table, “This is a Replenishing Essence Pill, Your Majesty might consider using it to recuperate.”
“If it grants me a child or two, I must thank Lady Su profusely,” Chu Duo raised his cup, drank it in one gulp, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.
Holding Little Fengning’s hand, Sally used Teleport to leave the Imperial Palace.
Once outside the Imperial Palace’s gates, Xiaoqi leapt down from Dongfang Yi’s arms, “Uncle Yi, please take care~ This Emperor harbors jealousy towards you. It would be best to extricate yourself soon. Also, that Empress may look pitiable, but she is enshrouded in malice and resentment, not a spirit of benevolence; try not to get entangled in other people’s karma.”
“You can see that too?” Dongfang Yi looked at her in astonishment.
“Yes, my eyes are quite sharp,” Xiaoqi said with a laugh, then ran towards the base of the palace wall.
As she ran… Xiaoqi transformed into a little white mouse, and at the base of the wall, there was another slightly larger little white mouse and a little blue mouse.
The larger little white mouse had a pair of black eyes; it looked at him, then led the white and blue mice away.
Dongfang Yi looked back at the towering palace gates… Even a child could see it, how could he not feel it?
It’s just that he always believed in the bond forged in life and death, yet he overlooked the fact that he was the Emperor, and they were no longer brothers but sovereign and subject!
