Chapter 864: Chapter 862: Xiaomei Leaves
“When I was young, I once played hide and seek and hid in my brother Fayi’s study, back when he hadn’t yet become a king…”
“Dr. X, please come in.” Fayi’s face carried a trace of sickly pallor as he invited a man with silver-gray short hair and an unusually tall stature into the study.
Dr. X handed Fayi a bottle of green potion, “This potion is made from the leaves of the World Tree, and it prolongs life when drunk.”
“Thank you, Dr. X, please take a seat.” Fayi took the potion but did not drink it immediately; instead, he put it away.
“I’ve come this time for the Offspring System,” Dr. X said. “How has His Highness the Crown Prince thought it over?”
“Why not speak to my father, the king, but come to me instead?”
“Your father will not live much longer, and this is fate.”
“We can change our fate against the heavens!”
“That cannot be changed. Just like the Dingshi Vine, when its time of death arrives, it must die, otherwise the world will collapse and calamity will ensue.”
“What is the Dingshi Vine?”
“A huge green vine.” Dr. X walked over to Fayi’s drawing board, and with a few strokes sketched out a large vine covered with spikes and star-shaped leaves. “When it is time for it to die, it will turn white, and the world it shelters will also face disaster and collapse.”
After looking it over, Fayi scoffed dismissively and continued the previous topic, “The matter of the Offspring System is beyond my control; in fact, even my father cannot decide.”
“I would like to hear more,” Dr. X replied.
“The Holy World Empire relies on the Beast God; if he sends down a divine decree, my agreement is not needed.” By saying this, Fayi essentially refused Dr. X.
Dr. X understood, respectfully bowed to Fayi, and then left.
Fayi opened the bookcase, where the beautiful and elegant face of Frans, filled with gentle smiles, was looking at Fayi, “Playing hide and seek with Ethan?”
“Yes.” The young Frans, with black hair and green eyes and a childish face, was especially adorable.
“Ethan has already left the palace.” Fayi ruffled his somewhat messy hair. “Come out now.”
“Okay.” Frans came out of the bookcase and then walked over to the drawing board, seeing the sketch of the Dingshi Vine, “Brother, what is this?”
“Dingshi Vine is something from the Outer World, you need not worry about it.” Fayi took out the potion from the drawer. “Let’s go, we’re going to see our father.”
Sally followed Frans to the study, where she rummaged through an old, dusty box and found the painting Dr. X had made.
The branches and leaves were lush, emitting a vibrant vitality just like a young World Tree. Moreover, the person who drew this painting must have faced it often; otherwise, it would not be possible to capture its imposing aura with just a few simple strokes.
And this was completely different from the Dingshi Vine she had seen.
[Xiaomei, this Dr. X is Yan Ze’s brother, right?] Sally asked Xiaomei.
Xiaomei did not respond.
Sally sent a strand of Spiritual Sense into the System Space.
Xiaomei had disappeared at some unknown time…
Sally felt a sudden numbness in her heart, almost scattering her Spiritual Sense. She gathered her senses and checked the other systems—the Space System for storing items was still there, the Game System was present, the Shop System too… Only Xiaomei’s Offspring System and related Child Raising System and Summoning Offspring System were missing.
And she didn’t even know when she had severed these systems she developed from herself!
Her departure did not affect the normal operation of these systems.
A Sound Transmission Talisman flew towards Sally, sent by Yi—[Come over, I’m ready.]
“Frans, I need to return to the Divine Realm for a while,” Sally told Frans.
“Who is it?” Frans asked.
“The Ancestral Dragon, he has agreed to help me with something, it should be done now,” Sally looked at Frans.
Frans hugged her, “Whatever happens, measure your strength! You are pregnant now, don’t take too many risks.”
“I know, don’t worry.” Sally hugged Frans back.
Xiao Suisui chose to stay with Frans for now and not return to the Divine Realm. When she wanted to go back, she would ask Little Miqi to come get her.
Sally left the Western Immortal Realm.
Frans, holding Xiao Suisui, sighed softly, “Your mother leaving this time…”
“What’s wrong with mom?” Xiao Suisui asked.
“Frans might have been mistaken,” Frans said as he carried Xiao Suisui out of the Royal Palace. “Do you want to go play on Holy Island? Daddy has raised a lot of Two-headed Seagulls there.”
“Yes!” Xiao Suisui’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
Sally arrived at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb.
But she didn’t see Yi, only a little monkey covered in golden fur handed her a Divine Wood Box.
“Where is Yi?” Sally asked the little monkey.
The monkey scratched his ears and cheeks, and finally ran away.
Then she opened the Divine Wood Box and found inside a bottle made of top-grade Divine Crystal, clearly half-filled with golden purple liquid!
“Xiaomei, look at this…” Sally’s words abruptly stopped.
Xiaomei had already left her!
Tears fell involuntarily, crystal clear like diamonds. “How am I supposed to get back to the System World?”
“Right, the World Transmission Array,” Sally’s eyes lit up, and she teleported away instantly.
Standing on the World Transmission Array, just about to activate it, she saw a Little Storage Bag in the corner.
Was it left by Xiaoba? Sally pondered and walked over to pick it up.
It wasn’t Xiaoba; it was written ‘Little Shiliu’ on it.
This belonged to Little Shiliu!
This thing could not have appeared here without reason.
Could it be? Little Shiliu came to the Beast World!
But Little Shiliu hadn’t tried to find her, no… she hadn’t left a Sound Transmission Talisman for Little Shiliu either.
Sally immediately took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from Zi Qi and told him about Little Shiliu possibly being in the Beast World, asking him to help find the child.
If Xiaomei were here, she would have just summoned Little Shiliu directly.
It didn’t take long for Zi Qi’s reply to arrive—[Yanyan, leave Little Shiliu’s matter to me. Where are you?]
Sally replied—[I’m going to visit the System World. Qi, wait for me to come back.]
Mortal World Continent, Zhou Dynasty.
Qin Caicai sat fishing by the pond.
A strikingly beautiful youth with a lantern hanging at his waist came leisurely towards her, his steps light.
Looking at the few little fish in her bucket, “Are you selling these fish?”
Qin Caicai didn’t move, as if she hadn’t heard him.
Suddenly, she pulled up her rod… a large golden carp was hooked!
“Oh, this is the pond master,” the young man continued.
Qin Caicai still didn’t look at him, and dumped the little fish from the bucket back into the pond.
She just walked away with the large golden carp.
Throughout the process, she never looked at him.
The young man followed her, “Such a big fish, you can’t finish it by yourself, can you share some with me?”
Qin Caicai frowned and looked coldly at the stunning youth, “Follow me any further, and I’ll chop you up!”
The stunning youth looked shocked, “… you want to murder your ancestor!”
Qin Caicai couldn’t restrain herself any longer; she kicked him into the pond, “Brains are a good thing, use them well!”
