Chapter 253: Chapter 251: The Love for Si Zi Chapter 253: Chapter 251: The Love for Si Zi ******
Beast World, Naless Island.
“So, you’ve lived so long without saving any possessions…”
Sally had thought that having a Divine Beast as a Beast Husband, there wouldn’t be a problem providing for their child’s needs, since he had been around for so long that even if he saved just one piece of Spiritual Material each year, it should have been more than enough to raise the child.
But after seeing the few Spirit-grade Spiritual Materials Qing Linghuan had brought out, she was at a loss for words for a long ti.
In the end, she had no choice but to take out the Chaos Fruits, Divine Liquid, and various Divine-grade plants and herbs she had scavenged from her cheap master’s tomb.
“Look closely! Your little pup needs to eat these standard ingredients to grow up! My dear Heavenly Fox husband, you need to go hunting.”
“…Chaos Fruit? Where did this co from?” Qing Linghuan twirled a black and white fruit in his hands and popped it into his mouth.
Sally: “…”
Great, not only is he poor but he’s also competing with the child for food!
[Xiaoi, tell , aside from his good genes, in what way is he better than my previous Beast Husbands?]
[This… indeed!] Xiaoi mumbled, [Strength! Yes, his strength is formidable! He said he’d return to Beast World from another world, and he did, while Xiaoi’s Shuttler isn’t even fully replicated yet.]
Sally, [Isn’t that just genetics too? If my other Beast Husbands had the sa innate advantages as he does, each one of them would be just as good.]
“The Chaos Fruits aren’t poisonous, eat up.” Qing Linghuan plucked two Chaos Fruits and fed them to her.
Driven by hunger, Sally imdiately opened her mouth and ate them. A bitter and indescribable flavor filled her mouth, “So disgusting!”
“Chaos Fruits are of two types: poisonous and non-poisonous. Even low-ranking deities can’t withstand the poisonous ones, which can corrupt their Divine Status. The non-poisonous ones are naturally a great nourishnt. However, non-poisonous Chaos Trees are extrely rare and look exactly the sa as the poisonous ones. In Ancient Tis, there were many Chaos Fruit trees, and countless Divine Beasts died from their poison.”
“I see.” Sally felt a bit embarrassed, “I thought you were competing with the child for food.”
Qing Linghuan laughed, “This fruit does benefit too. I would have to sleep for a few thousand years to recover the Divine Power spent during the Twelve-Tailed Heavenly Tribulation and coming back here if it weren’t for this Chaos Fruit.”
“…Sleep for a few thousand years!” Sally touched her belly, “Then your child might end up calling soone else daddy.”
Qing Linghuan’s face went dark instantly, “Who dares!”
“If his own dad isn’t around, of course, I’d have to find him a stepfather. I have so many good Beast Husbands that could help raise him.” Sally suppressed the bitter taste and ate another Chaos Fruit, “No more, it’s too disgusting.”
“You have so many good Beast Husbands?” Qing Linghuan’s expression was unfathomable.
Suddenly cautious, Sally said, “What are you going to do? They all ca before you, and despite your age, you still rank after them.”
Qing Linghuan: “…Fine, I won’t touch them. You just stay here quietly and nourish the fetus; I’ll make a trip to the Youming Continent.”
“I obliterated the Demon Army that invaded Beast World this ti, do you still dare go back?” Sally played with a few Elixir bottles at hand, one labeled Divine Origin Pill.
Looking at Qing Linghuan, she handed it over, “Aren’t you afraid Lan Shi will take his anger out on you, or order you to hand over to vent his frustration?”
Qing Linghuan accepted it, now finding everything Sally gave him very pleasing to the eye, “He just wants the Youming Continent to be filled with Spiritual Energy and vitality like the Spiritual Realm. This ti, when I went to the mortal world, I collected so Calamities. Those are fundantal to life, but they need to be converted; it should keep him busy for a few thousand years.”
“Calamities?” Sally was astonished.
“Also, don’t we need to raise a child? He has the most of that kind of treasure.”
“May I ask, is Lan Shi really a Fallen Angel?” Sally recalled what Frans had said.
Qing Linghuan replied with a chuckle, “Fallen Angel? He did pretend to be one for a while, and wasn’t discovered by the Beast God. His true form is a Red Dragon, adept at shapeshifting and hoarding treasures.”
“Red Dragon?”
“A Mutant Dragon, originating from the Azure Dragon Clan. Since he was young, he was ostracized and bullied within the clan. As he grew older and stronger, he looted the Azure Dragon’s treasury. Then he opened up the Youming Continent and assembled a ragtag bunch.”
“Is he part of so special organization?” Why would 009821 take on his appearance?
“No, he loves treasures, himself, and he’s also lazy. How could he possibly allow himself to be controlled by others?”
“There’s a System Administrator who looks exactly like you, the one you were banished with. He transford into Lan Shi’s appearance and wanted to make a deal with .”
“Lan Shi did ntion that when he was opening up the space for Youming Continent, he had help from a mysterious person. And this person could move in and out of Youming Continent at will. But I’ve never seen this person.”
“…The System sure has a long reach,” Sally sighed. Not to ntion, this vast Beast World was created by the System.
Uh!…
Suddenly, Sally looked up at the sky, “Xiaoi?”
“Host, do you have any orders?” Xiaoi imdiately responded.
Sally: “Hmm, nothing really, I just missed you.”
“Xiaoi also likes the host, but I still need to remind the host that it’s ti to eat,” Xiaoi’s voice was sweet.
Sally picked up a fist-sized golden fruit and asked Qing Linghuan, “What is this? Is it poisonous?”
“Huangmang, it’s toxic,” Qing Linghuan carefully inspected each of the fruits and plants Sally had taken out from her space, selectively picking a few, “These few you can eat, the rest I’ll keep.”
“Ah? I…”
Xiaoi can detoxify, though.
Xiaoi replied, “Host should still be cautious, Xiaoi doesn’t have the data for these Spiritual Materials. If it harms the divine offspring, the loss would outweigh the gain.”
“Even you can’t handle it?” Sally was surprised.
“Xiaoi’s system data doesn’t include divine beast offspring. The previous nineteen hosts have only given birth up to Saint Rank. Successfully conceiving a divine beast offspring, you are the first.”
“Why is that?”
“Holy Beast-grade hosts are not without mating with Divine Beasts, but none have ever conceived. So Xiaoi wonders if it’s because of the Divine Status. The Nine-tailed Celestial Fox is a disqualified Divine Beast, but its gene is definitely Divine Beast-grade.”
“I get what you an. But I think it shouldn’t be related to the Divine Status. The conception of the little Heavenly Fox should have a cause. I can’t quite explain the feeling—it’s like the Pregnancy Elixir was ineffective, and as for my feelings for Qing Linghuan, liking him… maybe a bit, after all, he’s so handso and I’m a sucker for good looks. But deeper feelings are definitely not there, let alone love. The chance for natural conception must not be because of my feelings for him, far from reaching Zi Qi’s level.”
“When the host conceived, it was exactly when I restored the host’s emotional cache. Could it be related to other emotions?”
“Feelings of longing for a child?”
At the ti, Sally was missing all her children, especially Manman, who had been bald on the head when returned, and now she didn’t know if the hair had grown back, and then there was the egg baby, Xiaoba…
“Xiaoi, can you bring Xiaoba back to ? I want to hold him for a while and see if I can hatch him.”
“Okay, I’ve brought him over, and Xiaoqi is lying on him, so I brought him along as well.”
