Chapter 742: Chapter 740: Rejected
“Welly! You’re healed?”
Sally quickly rose from her chair and walked over to him, checking him from head to toe, front to back, left to right.
Little Mumu threw herself into her arms, “Mom, we’re back.”
“Mhm,” Sally picked up Little Mumu.
But the next moment, Welly took Little Mumu from Sally’s arms and placed her on the ground, “You’re pregnant, don’t squash the child.”
Sally touched her slightly rounded waist and smiled, “It’s starting to show. How about you? Are you completely healed?”
“I am,” Welly replied.
He knew it was Sally who had summoned him through the Partner Mark and rescued him from hell… that hideous and filthy appearance of his, she must have seen it too!
“Little Mumu will be left in your care for now; I’ll come to pick them up once I finish my tasks. Your Majesty, West Immortal Emperor, Brother Pei, I appreciate your efforts.” Welly stepped back and bowed deeply.
Then, without waiting for Sally and the others to react, he teleported away.
Pei Xuan and Frans exchanged glances, both sensing something off with Welly.
Sally took out a Sound Transmission Talisman— “Welly, whatever it is, come back first, let’s discuss.”
Welly did not respond.
Little Mumu said to Sally, “Mom, Dad must have gone to the Demon Realm.”
“Is he going to find the Lord of Soldiers? He’s just recovered from serious injuries, can he be a match for a Demon God?” Frans voiced his concerns.
Pei Xuan also frowned and immediately sent Welly a Sound Transmission Talisman.
But the Sound Transmission Talisman was met with silence as well.
Sally thought for a moment and then said to Pei Xuan, “The Luotian Butterfly on my back, break it.”
Pei Xuan peeled away part of Sally’s clothing to reveal the Luotian Butterfly.
Just as he was about to pierce it, Zi Qi arrived, “Wait!”
“What is it?” Sally looked towards Zi Qi.
Zi Qi asked, “Have you ever been rejected when summoning Jian or Welly before?”
“I only remember being rejected before, but whether it was Jian or Welly, I’m not very clear,” Sally replied.
“Then you can’t summon lightly anymore,” said Zi Qi.
“A Beast Husband has the chance to reject the summoning of the Partner Mark, but only once. A second rejection would cause one’s soul to scatter. Right now, it seems that Welly is refusing to respond to the Sound Transmission Talisman, and he is likely to refuse your summoning too. If Jian has already rejected once and Welly rejects again, there’s a very high chance he will…”
Little Mumu quickly hugged Sally, “Mom, don’t.”
Sally tenderly stroked Little Mumu’s soft little face with a heartache, “But if he is seeking out the Demon God, with his current strength, he’s certainly no match for the Demon God; that’s also risking his life. How can I stand by and watch him take that risk? He’s always been one to hide things, still not asking for help even in such a state in hell.”
Zi Qi suggested, “How about sending a Sound Transmission to Jian?”
“Mhm, he will definitely be able to stop Welly.” Sally sent another Sound Transmission Talisman to Jian— [Welly has gone looking for the Demon God, go and bring him back to me.]
After a while, Jian replied to the transmission— [Welly is in closed-door cultivation. Have you returned to the Beast World? What about the Ancestral Dragon?]
Sally: …She couldn’t interfere!
It got lively early in the morning.
Sally personally made a nine-layered tall cake, only lacking the fruit and flowers for decoration.
“Babies,” now there’s a very important task for you. “It’s to go into the forest right away and gather some beautiful flowers and delicious fruits to decorate the birthday cake.”
Right away, a group of little cubs drooling around the cake… flying in the sky, running on the ground, some even driving cars or riding pets… charged into the Jiushen Mountain Forest.
Sally watched the children quickly run off into the distance and then looked at the towering birthday cake that was taller than herself, her smile warm and content.
Xiaohao was her eldest son, her first child.
With him, she became a mother.
Therefore, Xiaohao held a special place in Sally’s heart, compared to her other children.
Pei Xuan, cradling freshly bathed Xiaohao, walked toward Sally.
Sally took off her apron and stretched out her arms to Xiaohao, “Come, let Mommy hold the birthday boy.”
“Mom, I want to go pick fruits too,” said Xiaohao to Sally.
Sally smiled, “Today is your birthday. You just need to sit and wait for everyone to celebrate it for you.”
Saying this, she took out a thick album from the System Space.
She had asked Xiaomei to take some pictures yesterday, capturing important moments from Xiaohao’s conception to his birth, and his growth up to today, which were made into a photo album…
The first photo showed her dressed in primitive clothes, very thin and malnourished, not at all looking like a pregnant woman.
The second photo was with Pei Xuan. He gave her, who looked like a little white mouse, a very fat fish to eat. It was the first hearty meal she had since arriving in Beast World, and she had even secretly stored some meat in the System Space.
The third photo captured the newborn Xiaohao. Dark and covered in birth hair, he was carefully cleaned by Pei Xuan.
The fourth photo showed Xiaohao chubby, lively running after Pei Xuan, who was also in his Beast Body.
The fifth photo had Xiaohao lying on the back of Pei Xuan’s Beast Body, soundly asleep.
The sixth photo was of Pei Xuan scolding Xiaohao, with the little one’s ears drooping…
Sally looked through the photos, almost all of which featured the presence of Pei Xuan accompanying him.
“Your dad is such a devoted and responsible Father Beast, he deserves an award,” said Sally, holding Xiaohao after looking through the entire album.
Pei Xuan took the album, looking at the first photo where Sally’s eyes held fear, confusion, but above all, the resolute strength of a mother.
“I didn’t know then that you were feigning death.”
“Ming Linyuan didn’t know either and buried me alive,” Sally recalled with a smile on her face.
“If we hadn’t separated back then, could it have been…” Pei Xuan’s words trailed off because it was absolutely impossible. The existence of Xiaomei meant that Sally wouldn’t stop for any Beast Husband.
Just being able to walk a part of the journey with her and have offspring was already extremely fortunate.
Manman was the first to return, with a branch in her mouth full of blue gourd-shaped fruits.
Sally took it, smiling, “Alright, now we can start decorating the cake. Xiaohao, you decide where to place each kind of fruit.”
Manman said to Xiaohao, “Big brother, happy birthday,” and also gave Xiaohao a Little Storage Bag.
“Uh-huh.” Xiaohao licked the tuft of fur on Manman’s head…
Pei Xuan held Sally’s hand, “Thank you for choosing me, and for giving birth to Xiaohao.”
Sally snuggled into his embrace, looked up, and kissed his chin, “Back then… you must have been very angry, right?”
“No,” Pei Xuan replied.
Sally pressed her lips together with a smile, “How could that be? If it were me, I’d have had the heart to kill the other party.”
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew towards Pei Xuan.
Pei Xuan caught it, “It’s from Brother Qing.”
Qing Linghuan—”[Congratulations Brother Pei on becoming a father! I’ll give Xiaohao a belated congratulatory gift. Also, tell Sally if she doesn’t send the kids back soon, I’m going down to the Lower Realm to snatch them!]”
