Sally replied, "Gone."
Two words, Qing Linghuan froze.
"Gone? What does that mean?"
"It means dead." Sally glared at him, then patted Shishi on the head, "Let's go, have dinner with Mom."
Qing Linghuan slapped his forehead, why had he asked again, so stupid!
"That, my brain just short-circuited, and I wasn't thinking straight, please don't mind me," Qing Linghuan cautiously said to Sally and Shishi.
She looked down at Shishi.
Shishi shook her head too, indicating it was okay.
To be honest, her memory of the Father Beast was already quite vague. Besides, both the Rabbit Clan and the Rat Clan called their dad a hero and were very friendly towards the three siblings, taking extra good care of them. Especially Uncle's family, and Aunt and Uncle, they had treated them as their own, so they hadn't had a bad life despite the absence of their parents.
"Come sit down and eat together," Sally said to Qing Linghuan.
Only then did Qing Linghuan sit down, his gaze sticking to Sally's belly, which had grown significantly, as if she was carrying a small ball.
"Shishi, do you think your mom has a brother or a sister in her belly?"
Shishi pondered, "Both a brother and a sister."
Qing Linghuan immediately became excited, "What did you say you have?"
Shishi replied, "Mom is carrying us, so there's both a brother and a sister."
Sally patted Shishi's head, "Our Shishi speaks so well, let's eat quickly."
Qing Linghuan grew nervous, asking Sally in a low voice, "Is it true?"
Sally touched her belly, "Not quite sure, but it seems like there are two heartbeats."
"...Two!" If Shishi hadn't been there, Qing Linghuan would have lifted Sally off her feet.
After the meal, Shishi, being considerate, helped Sally clean up the dishes and tidy up.
When all the housework was done, she went back to her own room, not clinging to Sally at all.
Such a well-behaved and sensible Shishi must have been influenced by her surroundings from an early age.
Sally felt a pang of tenderness, "Children without parents by their side just grow up early."
Like Manman and Xiaoqi, who were absolutely raised in a honey jar, were good at acting spoiled and seeking advantages, daring to be headstrong and willful, always full of clever tricks, but they lacked this kind of steadfast, gentle sensibleness.
"I'll be her Father Beast, and from now on, she'll be my daughter," Qing Linghuan saw the guilt in Sally's eyes, and he also took a liking to Shishi.
"As long as she doesn't object," Sally thought of the other two children, "I wonder how Frost and Yona are doing."
"Shall I go and bring them over?" Qing Linghuan said.
Sally looked at him in surprise, quite unexpected.
Qing Linghuan smiled, "As long as it makes you happy."
"If you could bring them over, I'd definitely be happy," Sally smiled.
Qing Linghuan let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go get them. Just tell me where they are?"
"They're in the Western District of Continent 9908, either in the Rat Clan or Rabbit Tribe. It's just that you now can't use the Teleportation Array to get to 9908, I've sealed the entire continent, you can only enter from the edges..."
Sally explained the situation of Continent 9908 to Qing Linghuan, including the Insect Clan's invasion.
"Youming Continent has completely fallen into a nest of the Insect Clan now. These monsters can devour spirits, and no matter how strong the demon, they can't withstand its consumption, and even become its puppets. Lan Shi and I spent a great deal of effort to seal the Youming Continent, now unless the God of Rules intervenes, no one can unseal the Youming Continent."
"Are you saying that the Insect Clan is invincible?" Sally's eyes widened in disbelief.
Just at that moment, two more children appeared in Sally's System Space.
It was Yona and Frost…
Yona, a member of the Rabbit Clan, had a vacant look in her eyes as if her soul was gone.
Half of Frost's body was gone, and he was at death's door.
Sally was completely stunned!
Until she regained consciousness.
She cried out in pain, her eyes bloodshot.
Yohanes heard Sally's cry and hurriedly ran over from the room, "Mom."
Qing Linghuan felt fear for the first time, "Yanyan… what's wrong with you!?"
Sally paid them no mind, [Xiaomei!]
[Yona needs to have the insects inside her cleaned out, 5000 points. Frost's limb regeneration and wound healing require 3000 points.]
[I don't care about the points, I just want them to be okay!]
[Host, this insect is a young one, do you want to keep it and study it?]
[How do you want to study it?]
[Conduct physical or mental attacks on it, observe it, and collect its data.]
[Fine, even flaying it wouldn't relieve my anger.]
[I will observe it with the absolute vacuum of System Space.]
Seeing that Yona and Frost had been healed, Sally finally stabilized her emotions. Then, she moved the siblings out of the space.
Seeing her sister and brother, Shishi immediately jumped up happily and hugged Yona.
As a Rabbit Beast, Yona was naturally larger than Shishi. Upon seeing Shishi was still alive, Yona cried, "You're still alive… Grandpa has been so upset his hair has turned white."
Frost, upon seeing Shishi alive and well, was also overjoyed, then looked at his own body, which had been missing half and was now restored. And where was this place?
When Frost saw Sally, he hesitated for a moment before tentatively calling out, "Mom?"
Sally hugged him with eyes rimmed red, "Yes. Mom's here, don't be afraid, my child. Mom will protect you."
Yona now also noticed Sally; being the oldest, she was more composed, "Mom, weren't we just… where is this place?"
"If you suffer a fatal attack, you'll return to your mother's embrace," Sally said, not even daring to think about the situation in the Western District.
Even Lan Shi had said, the Youming Continent could only be sealed, and the Insect Clan could not be completely exterminated.
Sally clenched her teeth and abruptly turned to Qing Linghuan, "The two months you didn't come back, I was very angry."
"I was careless. What do you want me to do to make it up to you?" Qing Linghuan's gaze turned to Yona and Frost, "Actually, I have no objections to adopting two more children."
"Yes, you'll take care of the children. But I'm talking about other compensation. I want you to go protect Continent 9908."
She had spent so many points, she would never let the mere Insect Clan destroy it!
"Continent 9908?" Qing Linghuan nodded, "Alright, I'll head over tomorrow. Today I'll stay with you all night to make up for the last two months, so the children don't feel like I don't care about them."
"They're still in the belly, all they do every day is eat and sleep, they're doing great." Sally looked down at her own stomach, "If it weren't for the pregnancy, I'd be going back myself."
With the current situation, especially with the Insect Clan, Xiaomei didn't have any data on it and would definitely not let her take risks, not even consenting to leave Qianyu Island.
"Don't, you must stay here and take good care of our baby." Qing Linghuan became anxious upon hearing she wanted to go back, "I'm leaving right now."
