"Hmm, I know he went." To avenge Manman and to retrieve Manman's Innate Talent Soul Bead.
"This ti I entered the Dark Continent, I encountered two Demon Kings at the sa ti. Fortunately, he showed up in ti for to have a chance to escape. It's just..." Zong Silu didn't know if he should tell Sally.
"Continue." Sally felt a strange premonition as she watched his expression.
"He... is a Demon King!" Zong Silu didn't want to believe it.
But the truth was that Ming Linyuan got along very well with the first and second Demon Kings of the Dark Continent, treating them affectionately as his older and second brothers, making him the fourth brother!
"A Demon King?" Sally shook her head, "Impossible, Manman is fine."
Genes couldn't lie.
"It's hard to believe, but what he exuded was indeed the demonic aura of the Dark Continent."
"[Host, please hurry to the Dark Continent, otherwise more females will suffer from the virus.]" Xiaoi urged Sally.
Sally glanced at Zong Silu, knowing if she told him she wanted to go to the Dark Continent, he would definitely disagree.
"[Xiaoi, going to the Dark Continent, it's you who wants to go, right?]"
"[...]"
"[If you use the System's power without deducting my points, I agree to accompany you on this trip.]"
"[That won't work. The virus will detect and escape into hiding.]"
"[Then what should we do?]"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Sally's mind, and there seed to be a way.
"I once heard a rumor, which I thought was a joke and didn't take seriously at the ti. But now, it might not be without reason."
"What rumor? About Ming Linyuan?"
"Yes. There's a rumor that the old Clan Leader of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan, Ming Linyuan's mother, once traveled to the Dark Continent.
When she returned, she married a non-pureblood male from the White Phoenix Clan.
Soon after their marriage, the old Clan Leader beca pregnant.
The male from the White Phoenix Clan loved pleasure-seeking and was restless in dostic life, having illegitimate children with females from other bird clans. The old Clan Leader didn't make it difficult for him and let him leave.
A hundred years later, the old Clan Leader gave birth to Ming Linyuan, then lived in seclusion, leaving all clan affairs to be managed by several elders until Ming Linyuan ca of age and took the position of Clan Leader.
Ming Linyuan accidentally revealed another Secret Technique beyond the Wood Elent: Devouring!"
"Devouring? That's the ability of Demon Beasts..." Sally's face changed drastically.
"That's right, which made people begin to suspect that what the old Clan Leader carried was not the progeny of the White Phoenix Clan, but that of a high-ranking Demon Clan from the Dark Continent. But the old Clan Leader staunchly denied it, and since Ming Linyuan also possessed the unique shape-shifting ability of the pureblood Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan, the rumor fell through."
Sally thought of Manman; her Innate Secret Technique, besides fire, was another—Quasi-Rule Darkness!
"Since it's just a rumor, let's just hear it and forget it. My daughter is doing very well, which shows he doesn't have any problems." Sally lost her appetite and fed the remaining half of the fruit to Zong Silu, "Don't waste it."
Zong Silu opened his mouth to eat it, unavoidably touching Sally's fingers.
Sally's heart fluttered for a mont, then she teasingly pushed her finger further between his lips...
...
The night was deep.
Sally was extrely tired, having indulged herself several tis with Zong Silu. She was too exhausted to move.
But Xiaoi was diligently urging her to go to the Dark Continent.
And she promised to ensure Sally's personal safety, especially the safety of the fetus.
Only then did Sally agree to make the trip.
Zong Silu had returned to the academy. This trip to the Dark Continent had gathered much information, and he would be busy for a while.
Sally told him there was no need to co to find her for the ti being and to first deal with matters related to the Dark Continent. In fact, she also needed to visit the Dark Continent, so if he ca looking, it would be a wasted trip.
Sally put the restlessly sleeping Manman into the System Space, then changed into a light-colored maternity dress that particularly accentuated her waist and pregnant belly.
"[Xiaoi, is there a reward for this trip?]"
"[Apart from points, what would the host like?]"
"[I just want points.]"
"[Sorry host. You can have a look in the System Store and pick anything you like.]"
"[Ten items!]"
"[...At most two items!]"
"[Nine items.]"
"[Two items!]"
[Eight items.]
[Two items!]
...
[Three items! No less, or I'm out.]
[Three items!] Xiaoi agreed.
[I'll choose when I'm free.]
[The host can select at any ti.]
Sally left the inn and walked on the main street.
She opened the System Map to check the people appearing on it.
Not far into her walk, a red signal suddenly appeared on the map.
It was very close, right in the alley ahead.
Moreover, next to that red signal, there was also a space crack!
Sally, with her pregnant belly, quickly made her way there.
The thod she was thinking of was to find a Phantom Demon Beast that had wanted to kidnap Dongfang Yan that day. Have the Phantom Demon Beast take her to the Dark Continent, or even to where the system virus was.
This thod was both ti-saving and efficient, and would quickly lead her to the system virus.
Sally, with her pregnant belly, turned into the alley.
A man with a blank stare and sowhat stiff limbs looked towards Sally.
First ca confusion upon seeing her.
Then, seeing Sally's pregnant belly, the blank eyes suddenly beca pitch black without any whites.
He charged at Sally like a bullet.
Sally, frightened, turned and ran... This was not an act; she was genuinely scared.
The Phantom Demon Beast was even faster.
Sally had only run a few steps before she was caught.
And a hand chopped against her carotid artery.
She nearly got killed; fortunately, Xiaoi was there to protect her.
The Phantom Demon Beast carried Sally into the space crack...
Sally said to Xiaoi, [How about this idea?]
[The host is very smart, truly worthy of being the person chosen by the system!]
It did not forget to praise itself.
Sally laughed, [The old saying goes; the peddler praises his own wares.]
******
The Beast World Continent and the Dark Continent are like two realms, one of light, the other of darkness.
The realm of light has both brightness and darkness.
Light, where everything proliferates; darkness, where everything grows.
And in the realm of darkness, there is also light and darkness.
Light, where everything dies; darkness, where everything perishes.
The Dark Continent has no living creatures; Demon Beasts are underworld spirits born from death. They devour everything in the Beast World Continent, seeking to beco the light and shadow of the living world.
Thus, not for a single mont does the Dark Continent cease its intent to invade the Beast World Continent. The war has never stopped for even a second.
Sally was carried over the shoulder of a Phantom Demon Beast, head downwards.
Her pregnant belly was being pressed against, and she really owed Xiaoi for being there, or else her child would have been crushed.
The air of the Dark Continent made her dizzy and nauseous, her breathing difficult.
[The host can take one Detoxification Pill, which wards off all poisons.]
[You should have said so earlier, and this one better not count against my points.]
[Of course, it's free for the host.]
[That's more like it.]
After Sally took the Detoxification Pill, she finally felt better and could observe her surroundings properly.
