Chapter 838: Chapter 836: Ascension, Changsheng Domain
Sally’s soul returned to her body on time.
“Yanyan…” His raspy voice seemed to emanate from within his soul as Zi Qi held her tightly.
Three days, a time less than required for a single meditation session… yet it felt endless, as if it had been thirty thousand years!
In his embrace, Sally adjusted to a more comfortable position and asked, “All better?”
Zi Qi nodded, “Yeah. I originally wanted to use Little Fengning’s Primordial Demon Power to devour him, but I almost lost control of my body to him instead.”
“…Then, can you get your Destiny Profound Meaning back?”
“It’s okay; it doesn’t matter.”
“But that’s your most important talent,” Sally said as she took out a Talent Scroll from the System Space. “This is also a talent of destiny; I don’t know if it will be useful to you, but give it a try.”
“No need, save it for Little Fengning to consume,” Zi Qi tightened his grip on her left wrist. “Being without talent is alright.”
Sally noticed the return of Zi Qi’s partner mark on her left wrist, a faint purple ‘bracelet’. “It’s so beautiful! You can’t lose it again!”
“Mm,” Zi Qi lifted her wrist and placed a supremely gentle kiss on the mark. “I’m sorry, Yanyan. I should have taken good care of the children, but I ended up worrying you.”
“It was me who neglected you by focusing too much on the kids,” Sally responded, looking into his eyes. “When did the inner demon come about?”
Zi Qi replied, “It stemmed from memories before the time reversal, the seeds of the inner demon.”
“Uh! Are you saying that the inner demon was from past memories?” Sally was somewhat surprised.
Zi Qi looked at her, “I tried many methods, including the Angel Purification Talisman. Even Frans had a look, but nothing worked. Unexpectedly, the true method to make it disappear was you, Yanyan…”
“I actually didn’t know what to do either and acted on instinct, thinking that at worst I would just kill you and then revive you… Did I scare you?”
Sally’s soul had also stayed by Zi Qi’s side these past three days.
Watching him hold her, shedding silent tears… He would embrace her into sleep at night, often waking up with a start after just a short while, holding her lifeless body until the dawn’s light.
“I knew you would awaken. Ming Linyuan hit me with a punch and then left. I suppose Xiaomei must have told him something,” Zi Qi replied.
Sally was astonished, “You were conscious at that time?”
“I’ve always been conscious, just unable to drive it away,” said Zi Qi.
After a moment of silence, Sally suddenly laughed, “Alright, to prove that you’re truly better, hold me!”
Zi Qi’s eyes deepened, “Are you sure?”
Sally leaned in and kissed his Adam’s apple, answering him with her actions…
Three days after Sally’s feigned death and resurrection, he left the Eastern Immortal Palace.
Duanmu Yunhua became the new ruler of the Eastern Immortal Realm. Though the path ahead was rough, it was also a journey of cultivation. Watching Zi Qi, surrounded by auspicious clouds, fly further and further away until he disappeared.
“Empress, are we old acquaintances?”
“Ha, appearances may be identical by the thousands, but interesting souls are one in a million. You may also call me ‘one in a million’,” Sally winked mischievously at him; her figure too began to fade.
Duanmu Yunhua was initially stunned, then his expression gradually revealed a mix of shock and excitement, “It was you!”
Frans gazed eastward, holding little Xiaosuisui in his arms.
“Father, Daddy Zi has ascended. When will you ascend?” Xiaosuisui said to Frans.
Frans responded, “Soon. Do you also want to go to the Divine Realm?”
Xiao Suisui nodded, “Yeah! Sister and the others won’t come down anymore, so I want to go find them.”
“Mommy will take you there.” Sally appeared with a smile.
Frans immediately let go and tossed his young son aside, then embraced Sally, “Yanyan~”
Xiao Suisui didn’t even react until he was expecting a hug from his mom, but by then his dad had already thrown him aside…
He glared fiercely at his own dad, flew into the air, and announced, “Mom, father Wang hit my butt yesterday.”
“Really?” Sally adjusted her position as she was being hugged tightly by Frans and then smacked Frans’s attractive rear a few times, the sound ringing out with a ‘smack smack~’, “What about this?”
“Yeah! Thank you, Mom.” Xiao Suisui contentedly flew away.
At that moment, Frans’s eyes turned into vertical golden pupils, “Yanyan, do you realize what you just did?”
“Of course, I did what I love to do the most!” Sally looked at him with affectionate and tempting eyes.
Frans lifted her up and teleported to the Rose Garden, “These three months, don’t even think about leaving.”
“No leaving, I came here especially to be with you… Mm, you smell so nice. Did you spray some perfume?”
Divine Realm, Changsheng Domain.
Qing Linghuan handed a black Jade Token, the Divine Monarch Order of the Changsheng Domain, to Zi Qi.
Zi Qi accepted it and let a drop of his blood acknowledge ownership, “It feels like just changing a place to work for the Heavenly Dao.”
“A wise realization!” Qing Linghuan expressed agreement with a ‘I feel the same’ look.
Zi Qi laughed, “Yanyan is with Frans, and she said she would bring Xiao Sui up. But knowing how clingy Frans is, he won’t let her come up for three or five months.”
“What about your Divine Monarch ceremony?” Qing Linghuan mentioned and saw a Sound Transmission Talisman flying towards them.
He opened it right away—[Congratulations to the God Venerable, the Changsheng Domain finally has a Divine Monarch. If there’s anything the Azure Dragon Clan can help with, just say the word.]
“It’s Ying, the Clan Leader of the Azure Dragon Clan.” Qing Linghuan told Zi Qi, “It seems we need to proceed with the ceremony soon.”
“There’s no need to wait for Yanyan; she doesn’t like socializing anyway. After she comes up, we’ll just have a family banquet.” Zi Qi responded.
Qing Linghuan nodded, “Okay, how about three days later?”
“That works.” Zi Qi nodded.
Little Shiqi came to the Divine Lord Residence of the Changsheng Domain with her brothers, sisters, and younger siblings.
Previously, she had been staying a few days in the Fox Hole, a few days at the Su Mansion, or at Zong Silu’s Divine Lord Residence… Moving from place to place, she finally had her own home and was overjoyed.
Xiao Tiantian looked around the Divine Lord Residence of the Changsheng Domain and couldn’t help but exclaim, “This place is really nice. Look at this floor; it’s all paved with Divine Crystals! And the strange flowers and exotic plants in the yard, they’re all Divine-grade!”
“This is all your mom’s work.” You Hao had also come with the children and was looking around the Divine Lord Residence with quite some envy.
Although Sally hadn’t come, she had asked Xiaomei to rebuild the Divine Lord Residence as it was during Divine Emperor Guan Lan’s time, even more luxurious and more imposing… considered a gift for Zi Qi’s Divine Monarch investiture.
What You Hao really envied wasn’t these things, as they held little appeal to him; what mattered to him was Sally’s sentiment towards Zi Qi.
Hearing this, Xiao Tiantian swayed his fluffy big tail, looking towards the Divine Spring Lake not far away, where divine carps would sometimes jump out of the water, “The Fox Hole has been in disrepair for many years, and recently there have been quite a few collapses. I need to tell mom to renovate it!”
Little Shisi heard this and wondered… Why didn’t he realize the Fox Hole had collapsed?
He even went to ask Little Shiwu, “Has our house collapsed?”
“Your house is the one that’s collapsed.” Little Shiwu rolled her eyes at him and ran off to discuss with Xiaoqi and the others about where to live.
