"Yanyan!"
Sally stopped when she heard the voice calling out from behind her.
But the very next mont, she dug a hole right there and crawled into it.
Mice naturally excel at burrowing, and now she was pushing this skill to its limit.
In no ti at all, she had excavated a hole ten ters deep.
Zi Qi sat cross-legged at the entrance, patted the ground, and continued, "Before you entered the palace, I had already dismissed those concubines. They should all have their own children by now."
Sally scratched her itchy ears and rembered that in the Beast Emperor's Palace, she indeed hadn't seen any of his concubines, nor had he ever established an Empress.
"Dismissing your harem is your business; don't pin it on ."
"Aren't you angry anymore?" Seeing that she was talking to him, Zi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Sally wasn't actually angry. It would be abnormal for the Beast Emperor not to have concubines. Those powerful noble families would even risk cutting off their own heads to plant soone in his harem to consolidate their power. And in order to balance the big families, he had to take them in, whether he liked them or not. This was an emperor's tactic for wielding power.
"I'm not angry. I've just found a better way to pay off my debts." Since Xiaoi had said that Holy War Points could be exchanged for Fertility Points, could she possibly earn enough points during the Holy War to pay off her debts and the hundred million points needed for rebirth on Earth?
When Zi Qi heard her ntion the debt, he said, "Co out first."
Sally thought about it and finally crawled out, sowhat hesitantly.
Just as she was about to reach the entrance, a fair and slender hand directly plucked her out of the hole.
But when Zi Qi saw Sally's ear, red and swollen from a bee sting and bleeding, his frustration flared anew.
"Why tornt yourself if you're angry with ?"
"Hm?" Sally genuinely didn't understand why he was angry, "How am I tornting myself?"
Zi Qi's fingertips emitted a soft white glow that enveloped Sally's ear.
Quickly, the tickling and painful ear felt nothing at all.
Sally wiggled her ears and looked at Zi Qi, "You know the healing Secret Technique?"
"Mm." Zi Qi ticulously checked her body again, "Tell about your debts."
Sally's mouth imdiately tensed up.
"Do you still want to beco the Holy Mother?" Zi Qi cleaned the dirt from her tiny paw.
Seeing Zi Qi taking such care of her, Sally felt a softness in her heart and eventually responded, "I'm bearing children to earn Fertility Points. Xiaoi told that Holy War Points can be exchanged for Fertility Points. So I thought, if I earn more points, I won't have to... have children anymore!"
Zi Qi's fingers paused, "You don't like children?"
Sally shook her head, "Not that. I like children. I love all seven I've borne equally, yet I always end up owing them my presence. The more I have, the more I owe."
"A female doesn't need to raise her offspring, where's the debt in that?" Zi Qi continued to knead her paw.
Sally grew so relaxed under his touch that she wished to lie in the palm of his hand and sleep deeply, "In my holand, motherhood is endowed with more roles. I always involuntarily put myself in those roles, feeling that to be a proper mother to the children, I should be like them."
Zi Qi placed her on his shoulder, "If you trust , let share the burden."
Sally's eyes began to swell uncontrollably with tears, and suddenly she transford back into her human form, naked in his arms, "This ti I can take on ten at once, believe it or not."
With a beauty in his arms and surrounded by a bustling scene, it was quite difficult not to feel stirred.
But Zi Qi still restrained himself, "Were we not looking for honey? I just found a big beehive, shall we..."
Sally's lips t his in a kiss...
After a while, she cooed with feigned annoyance and allure, "Continue training! I must beco the Holy Mother!"
Even if not for herself, for him... she had to fight with all her might.
She wanted him to live well and return to the Beast World Continent to continue being the king of all beasts!
...
Sally sold two hundred jin of honey, which gave the buyer quite a shock.
Because no one had ever managed to collect that much high-quality honey all at once. When it was ti to pay Sally, he gave her an extra two hundred points.
Sally ca out of the shop beaming with joy, while Zi Qi was waiting for her outside.
Seeing her happiness, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on his handso face.
Sally held out her wrist to him to show, "Look, isn't it an extra four thousand two hundred points? I can earn points too."
"Um, Yanyan is so amazing," Zi Qi acknowledged, taking her wrist in his hand and wrapping it with a cloth, covering the string of numbers that had already exceeded one million.
No matter how much debt she had, he would pay it off for her so she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Seeing a stall selling grilled skewers by the roadside, Sally's eyes lit up, "I'll treat Your Majesty to sothing tasty."
But Zi Qi grabbed her wrist and headed toward the market instead, "I'll cook for you."
"You like to cook?" Sally asked, surprised.
Zi Qi nodded, "I really like that foldable kitchen you set up. And I've found cooking to be a very interesting activity."
"Is that so? Then today, I'll cook with you. Shall we try making dumplings? It's the most amazing food from my world." Whether it was for big holidays, small celebrations, or any occasion, large or small, it was capable of holding its ground.
"Then let's make dumplings," Zi Qi said, his eyes shining with excitent, evidently very fond of the idea.
...
Sally chopped with a kitchen knife 'clang, clang, clang~' on the vegetables.
Zi Qi helped knead the dough and mix the at filling, while Sally was in charge of adding all the different seasonings.
"It slls so good, Your Majesty, what delicious thing are you making?"
The duo who were out working had just returned.
Besides being a bit dusty and dirty, there was no issue.
Upon entering the house, Yin Zang was sniffing around, and eventually his silver-gray pupils grew round with excitent!
Sally looked at him… and suddenly thought of a husky!
She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Tired from earning points, huh? Go have a wash and then co to help."
The pair imdiately returned to their respective rooms and then grabbed their clothes, dashing into the bathroom to shower.
Sally glanced at the cloth on her wrist, which Zi Qi had tied for her, saying it was to keep her from feeling pressured and that she could wait to look at it.
If she shouldn't look, then she wouldn't. All she needed to do was to try her best to earn points.
Striving is also a form of luck, bringing unexpected surprises.
Sally arranged the plump dumplings on the workbench, "Do they look good?"
From Zi Qi's perspective, he wasn't sure how to judge, but seeing her so happy, they must indeed be beautiful, "Um."
"You follow this shape to wrap them, and I'll roll out the wrappers," she instructed.
Yin Zang and Yu Yan joined in as well.
Soon, the workbench was covered with many oddly shaped dumplings…
But Sally wasn't concerned about the shape of those dumplings; she noticed that the three people had very long Holy War Points on their wrists…
Six or even seven digits!
