...
While Sally slept, Zi Qi had already led Yu Yan and Yin Zang to complete many tasks.
Currently, topping the points ranking without contest!
That business acun was solid!
Sally couldn't help but feel ashad, she was throwing a tantrum and sleeping like a log, while they were miffed and still running errands for her.
No matter how she looked at it, it was frustrating, she even felt annoyed on his behalf.
She wanted to kneel and kowtow to him, begging him to forgive her petty mistakes, vowing never to dare again.
But for the sake of pride, she persevered and didn't throw herself at his feet.
"Um, I made so porridge, do you want so?" Sally offered a bowl of sea cucumber porridge to Zi Qi.
Ever since she found out Xiaoi could materialize items from her mory, Sally began treating Xiaoi like Doraemon's magical pocket, but it wasn't for free—she had to pay points. And Xiaoi, now raking in points until its taphorical arms ached, was turning into a shrewd businessman, making her suspect its previous owner must have had a background in comrce.
Zi Qi was ditating with his eyes closed, and ever since he cleared things up with her, he hadn't paid much attention to her.
But he noticed her little attempts at appeasent.
He took the bowl of porridge and, looking at Yu Yan and Yin Zang, who were already eating and exuding a happy spirit towards their al, said, "You don't need to do this."
"Yeah, that's why I put poison in the porridge, planning to murder my own husband. Go ahead and eat."
Just co down the steps she gave, why keep stretching it, Sally secretly rolled her eyes.
Zi Qi: "..."
Seeing that he did not move, Sally, unable to coax him or bring herself to scold him, was left with only one thod.
The one Yu Yan ntioned...
Her eyes slid slyly towards him.
Only to see him start eating the porridge.
Well, since he ate... let's just leave it at that for now.
"Where are we going today?"
Sally had been sleeping in a lot lately and now that she wasn't sleepy anymore, she was full of energy.
The two who were eating abruptly looked at her with a sense of grievance.
She had been sleeping in every day, fattening up nicely, while they were worked like oxen, donkeys, and horses, night and day.
They'd just finished their tasks and were hoping for so rest, but now she wanted to assign more work?
Even sheep have their limits, wolves cannot endure.
"Sally, let's discuss sothing," Yin Zang tapped the table.
Hearing him use her full na, Sally knew he had sothing important to discuss. She imdiately straightened up, smoothed her hair behind her ears, and sat upright across from him, gesturing with her hand, "Please speak, Silver Emperor."
"..." Seeing her so prim and proper, Yin Zang suddenly drew a blank—what was he going to say again?
Sally waited for a bit, and seeing that he remained silent, she turned to look at Yu Yan.
Yu Yan put down his chopsticks, finished the food in his mouth, and took a sip of beer before saying, "The original plan was to go to the Ghost Ship to look for the Ghost Ring. It's not a target task, just sothing we heard about, a leisurely outing."
"Ghost Ship, huh." Sally looked towards Zi Qi.
The ntioned man had now put down his spoon and continued ditating, cultivating his mind and spirit, as if he were deaf to everything around him.
"Is he going?" Sally asked Yu Yan.
Yu Yan shook his head, "That's where Old Yin and I want to go. His Majesty isn't interested, he's likely to ditate all day."
"So what do I do?" Sally flipped through the list of tasks and found everything was completed; even scavenging was out of the question.
"Continue sleeping," Yu Yan patted Yin Zang on the shoulder as if urging him to hurry up and leave, lest they get saddled with other tasks and miss their trip to the Ghost Ship.
Yin Zang picked up the half-eaten roasted lamb leg from the table, stuffed it into his Storage Bag, and teleported away with Yu Yan.
Now it was just her and Zi Qi.
"Do you want to... practice?" Sally suggested to Zi Qi.
Looking around, they were surrounded by green trees, with no one within six hundred ters; whatever they might decide to do, no one else would know.
Zi Qi slowly opened his eyes, revealing the golden purple color of his pupils, but the gold quickly retreated again.
"Not practicing."
"..."
Sally speechless, [Xiaoi, I'm bound to the Offspring System, right? How co it's now about abstinence.]
Xiaoi didn't know how to respond and finally, with a salesman's pitch, [I have a very effective aphrodisiac product here, do you want to try? It's not expensive, only 1 point.]
[Xiaoi, you've changed!]
[...]
[When do you systems clear your cache?]
[Usually, it's done when the host clears their emotional cache, it's cleared together.]
[Host, would you like to watch a movie? It's free to watch.]
[Really? Aside from birthing, there's sothing free here?]
[Of course, but the tool for watching movies requires an additional charge of points.]
[I knew it would be like this! Sly Xiaoi, you—]
Suddenly, Sally felt soone grasp her waist, and then a familiar fragrance hit her neck.
The desire she had suppressed for many days ca at her like a storm.
Sally said to Xiaoi [Give that aphrodisiac product of yours!]
[Okie-dokie~] A box appeared in the System Space.
Looking at the fancy stuff, Sally's willowy waist grew even softer, becoming a pliable ball of fragrant clay, easily shaped by Zi Qi.
"You bad female!"
"…Hmm, I am bad, make even worse!"
...
Sally finally had her fill.
It had been over a month since the first stage.
She turned back into her beast form and lay in the soft purple fur, her whole body radiating satisfaction.
But conversely, Zi Qi seed even more brooding.
"You don't have to suppress yourself." Just now, Sally had decided to spend a fortune to rid him of his love and desire for her.
If that's what he wanted.
Zi Qi looked at her.
Sally said, "If there cos a day when I have to leave you, I will return you to your forr self, and my departure will no longer matter."
She would return to Earth, and everything here would beco just a part of a dream. In her dream, she hoped they would all live well.
Zi Qi wanted to say sothing, but then suddenly reined in all his emotions, looking towards the two squads that had teleported nearby.
"They've finally arrived."
Slling the lingering amorous scent in the air, Lin Xuexue regretfully said, "Missed a good show."
Sally looked at Lin Xuexue, and then rembered what Zi Qi had just said—They've finally arrived!
Could it be that he knew Lin Xuexue's squad would co, so he refused her when she wanted to make love?
No wonder he had always been suppressing himself, fearing that in a mont of relaxation, Lin Xuexue and her team would arrive, putting them in a vulnerable position.
In the end, he even wanted her to turn back into a beast, probably to avoid being a burden to him. Then, was the departure of Yin Zang and Yu Yan also his arrangent?
He was aiming to draw in Lin Xuexue's squad while they were scattered, to defeat them one by one.
"Let's cooperate," Lin Xuexue said with a playful smile.
Sally, lying on top of Zi Qi's head and yawning lazily, said, "Then, just like the 2000 Squad, you'll cut us down in one stroke and wipe us all out!"
The corners of her eyes still carried two tiny tears from yawning, making her look exceedingly cute, but her words turned Lin Xuexue's complexion as stormy as gathering clouds.
At the sa ti, the Crimson Moon Squad that was with Lin Xuexue imdiately beca alert.
