The Eastern District Imperial Capital was in an uproar.
Ever since Zi Qi beca the Beast Emperor, there had been no movent regarding royal offspring. The current princess, Zi Qiaoqiao, was adopted. Although she had good fertility strength, after all, she was a fragile female who could do nothing but bear children.
But the new true princess, she had real talent, and she was of the Heaven Rank Fire Elent! Regarding fertility strength, seeing who her mother was, one knew it was of the super fertility strength.
Sally had taken the Rejuvenation Pill and was now fully revived.
Nevertheless, she had been ordered by Zhang Wuzhu to rest as much as possible, to minimize movent.
Zi Qi, on the other hand, was always walking around with that little white rat atop his head.
Sotis he went to the Divine Beast Academy to discuss matters of the Dark Continent with Zong Silu, and sotis to seek Pei Xuan's advice on the secrets of raising children.
Because Xiaoqi's beast form was a little white rat, a pure Rat Clan, and followed Sally, nobody could tell that she wasn't Zi Qi's offspring, and everyone thought Xiaoqi was his biological child.
Sally dared not reveal the truth, and the very few who knew it were Zi Qi's confidants, and they also would not disclose it.
[The millennial celebration starts in just ten days, Xiaoi, are you sure the Holy War is also on this day? Why is there no sign of it yet?]
[We have not received any notifications of the Holy War being rescheduled. Typically, Spirit Rank males receive their invitations about two days before the start.]
[Beep—] Suddenly, a long tone sounded from the System.
Sally's consciousness instantly erged from within the System Space.
It took her a while before she heard Xiaoi's voice [This year's Holy War rules have seen so changes, Spirit Rank males with offspring will no longer participate in the Holy War.]
[Ah?] Sally's heart suddenly felt cold.
Pei Xuan, Ming Linyuan, Zong Silu, they all can't go? Then wouldn't she lose three major supporters?
She had begun to regret not being able to bear a child for Zi Qi. In case sothing unexpected happened during the Holy War, he would at least have an heir. Now, it seed fortunate she hadn't, or else she would be going into battle alone.
[Currently, the Beast Emperor of the Northern Region also has no offspring. Yu Yan participated in the last Holy War, but his mory was sealed upon returning to the Mortal Beast Continent. It would be unsealed once he returned to the battlefield.]
[Yu Yan is an old player? That baby-faced guy?] Sally was surprised.
[Yes. One of the very few to return to the battlefield as a Holy Warrior, you are very lucky as a host.]
[I hope that luck continues. How many continents are participating in this Holy War?]
[Currently, there are over five hundred participants and the number is growing. There will be multiple battlefields. According to the new rule, each continent has a maximum of six participants, including the host competing for the Holy Mother position.]
[What happens if I fail to compete and don't acquire the position of Holy Mother?]
[According to the previous Holy War rules: Hosts who fail will have their Offspring System rebonded and all mory caches of the previous system cleared, then be randomly sent to another Mortal Beast Continent to start anew. All participating Spirit Rank males would die in combat.]
Sally's breathing halted, [It seems to be a fight to the death.]
[Yes. Conversely, as long as the Holy Mother position is obtained, even the males who die in battle will be revived.]
[Is Yu Yan with the Holy Mother's group?]
[Yu Yan's precise data is currently unavailable. The host can ask him once he regains his mory.]
…
"Achoo—" Yu Yan sneezed, looking around warily to make sure there was no issue, before continuing to stand and doze.
Sally stood by the window, watching him sleep standing up.
"Your Majesty, how did you et Yu Yan?" Sally asked Zi Qi.
Zi Qi was busy grabbing Xiaoqi's mouse paw and secretly pressing it into the ink pad, ready to stamp a seal... Upon hearing Sally's voice, he jumped in fright.
After steadying his nerves, he replied, "Oh, I picked him up from the side of the road."
"Picked him up from the side of the road?" Sally was surprised, and then looked at him.
Seeing him sneakily holding onto Xiaoqi's paw, she produced the System Map...
Pledge Docunt—
I, Zi Yuxi, pledge to be Zi Qi's daughter, for all eternity, and never change, my claw print as proof!
"..." Sally was speechless and chose to ignore it.
"What's wrong with Yu Yan?" Zi Qi stamped the imperial seal on the Pledge Docunt.
"..." Sally replied, "Nothing much, he just seems very loyal to you."
"I'm only sheltering him, he can leave at any ti."
"Oh, when is the Beast Emperor from the Southern District arriving?" Sally asked.
"...I won't give my daughter to them." Zi Qi placed Xiaoqi on top of her head and continued using her as a hair ornant.
Sally glanced at her little daughter, "Be careful she doesn't fall off. Which father puts their child on top of their head? They're usually carried on the shoulder."
"It's not conspicuous."
"On top of your head, it's actually quite noticeable..."
"How about the talent and strength of the Southern District?" Sally changed the subject.
Zi Qi said, "The Beast Emperor from the Southern District is an Earth Rank of the Water Elent, and the overall strength of the Water Beast Clan isn't high."
"Oh?" No wonder Xiaoi said that the Beast Emperor from the Southern District would definitely raise Xiaoqi.
With Xiaoqi's talent, she's an absolute shoo-in as the heir to the throne!
"They have no natural predators, life is easy, and the lack of struggle leads to diocrity. The Eastern and Western Districts are constantly attacked by Demon Beasts, while the Northern Region has a harsh natural environnt, so it often produces extraordinary talents."
"So if I want Xiaoqi to have a peaceful life, it would be better to send her to the Southern District?" Sally wasn't too demanding about her children, as long as they were safe, healthy, and happy, that was enough.
Zi Qi replied, "I have already drafted the Imperial decree for the Crown Princess. She can live well in the Eastern District just the sa, and the title of Empress of the East is no less prestigious than that of the Southern District."
Sally was stunned by his words, "What did you say? What are you planning to make her do?"
"Empress." Zi Qi took Xiaoqi down from her head and placed her in the palm of his hand, "Bloodline is not important."
He instantly rebutted the argunt Sally was about to make about bloodlines.
Sally touched her forehead, "You're insane."
"Your Majesty, the head of the Rong Family requests an audience," Yu Yan reported upon entering the hall.
Sally looked at Yu Yan; ever since Xiaoi said that he was the last Holy Warrior, her perspective on him had changed.
Zi Qi nodded, "Take him to the Imperial Garden."
"Yes." Yu Yan turned and left.
However, as he turned, he gave an imperceptible glance towards Sally, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes... Was it an illusion? The way she was looking at him seed a bit off.
"Xiaoqi will stay with you for the ti being." Zi Qi reluctantly handed Xiaoqi to Sally.
Sally couldn't help but chuckle, "...Your Majesty, I am her mother. She should naturally be with ."
"You've given her to , now she's my daughter," Zi Qi declared firmly.
Rembering the Pledge Docunt he had Xiaoqi sign, Sally beca speechless inside, "Alright, yours, yours, she's your daughter."
Zi Qi left contentedly.
Sally cradled Xiaoqi in her palm, looking into her eyes that shimred blue, masked with a thin layer of mist, giving them a gentle, mysterious look.
In fact, her eyes really resembled Rong Ruo's.
But very few people had actually seen Rong Ruo, and even fewer had taken a close look at his eyes.
"Here, take this as a gift from your father," Sally said, taking out the Deep Blue Pearl, which was what Rong Ruo had transford into after his death, from the System Space.
Xiaoqi eyed the Deep Blue Pearl and suddenly opened her mouth and swallowed it!
