Chapter 225: She Is Happy, Not Desperate!
Qing Linghuan looked back at her. A demon can only mark a mate once. Did she truly not understand, or was she pretending to be naive?
He was also confused. There were many ways to leave a scent, why did he choose mate marking?
It must have been because of the stimulation from her several Beast Husbands...
"Qing Linghuan." Sally touched his ears and found several long, golden fox hairs on the tip. She reached out to pluck them.
Little did she know, Qing Linghuan's ears were his most sensitive area.
He transformed into human form on the spot.
Sally was turned around by Qing Linghuan, facing him as he bit down on her slender, delicate neck. His husky breath lingered by her ear, tangling with her hair...
"Hmm—don't you know how to kiss?" Sally said, seeing that he only nibbled at the marked spot, somewhat speechless.
Before, when she had been slaying evil demons and became bloodthirsty, not to mention extremely tense, she was always in a state of high alert.
Now, with just a gentle provocation from him, she was aroused. But since he only nibbled at the marked spot, it felt like there was a raging fire within her that couldn't be vented anywhere.
Upon hearing this, Qing Linghuan raised his head, his tone somewhat dangerous, "Say that again!"
Sally sighed lightly, turned around, and pulled his neck down...
"Which continent is your next target for invasion?"
Qing Linghuan lifted his seductive, entangled eyes, and she, with her rosy glow, was still scheming against him at such a time.
His mood instantly cooled, "What does it have to do with you? Just because they call you a goddess, do you really think you are one?"
Her words were harsh, but Sally had to endure it. She wasn't after anything; as someone who would sooner or later return to Earth, she no longer cared about reputation, wealth, freedom, or dignity.
It was just that she saw those females and cubs and pitied them; the fewer who were captured, the better. If she could save even one, then she would.
Perhaps to those with high and mighty Divine Beast Blood, ordinary Mortal Beasts were as insignificant as ants.
And she was among the countless ants, painfully and humbly climbing up, relying on the Offspring System.
She knew the helplessness of the ordinary in the face of absolute power, and the powerlessness to fight back when trampled upon, that despair of crying out to a heaven that won't respond and to an earth that can't hear. That's why she wanted to help them even more.
"Tell me, and I'll let you kiss me again!" Sally licked her crimson lips, provocatively alluring.
But Qing Linghuan transformed back into his beast form, "You've always wanted to return to the Beast World, now you're here, you can leave."
With that, Qing Linghuan howled, leading the evil demons towards the next continent.
The thick Netherworld breath of death left nothing alive wherever it passed.
Sally watched as Qing Linghuan grew further away, then turned back to Hongyun Continent.
The trees of Beast Forest were uprooted along with the soil, rivers dried up, the fields of the beast farmers destroyed, houses collapsed, broken walls and ruined tiles everywhere... Wounds were all that remained.
Upon seeing Sally return, Redd Burren hurriedly moved to bow.
He was promptly stopped by Sally, "Your Majesty there's no need for that. Those evil demons probably won't come back. Hurry and get things in order. And those females and cubs, they can be brought back too."
"Thank you! If it wasn't for the goddess, we might have been annihilated."
"Don't call me like that, I'm just a regular member of the Beast Clan. The demons coming from the Netherworld Continent mainly aim to plunder the resources of the Beast World Continent. Your Majesty can see how the Beast Forest has been excavated along with the soil. And there are the water veins."
"Why?"
"Because the Netherworld Continent doesn't have these things." Maybe Lan Shi wants a continent like the Spiritual Realm—if it doesn't exist there, he'll steal it from the Spiritual Realm.
After chatting with Redd Burren for a while, Sally used the Continental Teleportation Array to head for the Holy Continent.
...
On the Holy Capital Continent, within the Holy Palace.
Frans looked out the window at two children practicing flying.
Xiaojiu loved milk and was a little pudgy, with round green eyes and chubby arms and legs.
But because of the weight, he didn't fly well, which is why Xiaojiu didn't like to cultivate.
Xiaoshi loved to fly and was fast. She always urged Xiaojiu to practice with her.
"Xiaoshi, I'm a little hungry. Can we eat full and then practice?"
"No, no, after you're full, you won't be able to fly at all."
"Then I'll ask Father King, see if he agrees."
"You ask him, he will definitely agree." Or else why would he keep getting fatter?
Frans, watching the two of them, smiled on his handsome face.
He calculated the timing and today marked exactly one month.
Using his time-related gift once more, he peered into the future... Previously, he saw nothing but fog, but this time there was an image.
He saw Sally standing in front of the Teleportation Array, alongside her stood a Saint Church Deacon, assisting Sally in activating the array. The destination was the Holy Church of the Holy Capital Continent.
Frans was stunned, never having thought that Sally would really return one day.
But she did come back!
"Xiaojiu, Xiaoshi, your mother has returned!"
...
When Sally emerged from the Teleportation Array, she saw Frans waiting for her with two children in his arms.
"You? How did you know I was coming back?" Sally was first startled, then asked Frans with a smile tinged with emotion.
Frans replied, "Have you forgotten what my talent is?"
"Time... Could it be that you can foresee it?"
"Mhm, I can see one or a few scenes.
The future is the most unpredictable, what I can see generally are fragments that are bound to happen."
"Mhm! You've worked hard, Frans." Sally walked over and embraced him and the two children together, "I've missed you so much!"
"We've missed you too." Frans's smile was barely containable.
Sally noticed the children were growing up to look less and less alike.
Xiaojiu was chubby and a bit simple.
While Xiaoshi was very composed, displaying a sisterly air, even though she was the younger one. Unfortunately, Xiaojiu was probably often on the receiving end of her strict gaze.
Sally picked up Xiaojiu and kissed his round face, soft and tender, "My precious son, do you still recognize your mom?"
"Mom?" Xiaojiu tilted his head looking at her, and though he had never seen her before, a mother and son's natural connection, compelled by blood, made him want to be close to her.
"Mom is your mother," Frans explained to Xiaojiu.
Xiaoshi was gazing at Sally, longing for her embrace.
Sally freed one hand, "Come here, let Mom hug Xiaoshi too."
Immediately, Xiaoshi threw herself at Sally, "Mother, hug~"
Sally finally got to enjoy the sweet indulgence of her daughter's affection.
While Manman did sometimes ask to be hugged; in a blink, she'd fly away like the wind, leaving no trace. Her impulsive nature also made it hard for her to act sweetly and cutely.
"Isn't Xiaoshi eating well? She feels so much lighter than her brother. When you were born, you were the heavier one."
"It's just that Xiaojiu is a bit too chubby, Xiaoshi's weight is just right." Frans said, relieved to see both children getting along so well with Sally.
"Let's go back, I've ordered people to prepare the food you like best."
"Okay."
...
With the two children in her arms, Sally and Frans teleported back to the Holy Palace.
Having not eaten in a long time, she wasn't too hungry, but eating with the children, she ended up eating quite a bit.
Throughout the meal, Frans busied himself with serving the dishes, giving some to one child, then to the other, but of course, he was most diligent when it came to Sally. Seeing her eat the food he served made the smile on his face never fade away.
Sally spent time with the children, helping them with their studies and then lulling them to nap.
Only after they had fallen asleep did she and Frans have a chance to talk alone.
"Xiaojiu is more proficient in academic subjects than Xiaoshi, while Xiaoshi is more diligent and gifted in magical practice than Xiaojiu."
"Mhm. Xiaojiu will be given focused training for his courses as a future monarch, and as for Xiaoshi, we'll just observe for now. After all, the Supreme Beast God has taken her as a disciple, he should have his own plans."
"Can you contact the Beast God?" This was the main reason she had come to him.
The invasion of the Beast World by the Youming Continent needed to be stopped by him as soon as possible; otherwise, the losses to the Beast World would be devastating.
"Does Yanyan want to meet the Beast God?"
"Yes."
"I can convey your message to the god, but whether he will meet you is up to the Beast God himself."
"You can send him a message?" Sally was surprised.
Frans nodded, "Yes. The Beast God's true form, in fact, is also an Angel. Otherwise, why would the Angel Clan be the Holy Monarch, with no opposition from other Beast Clans?"
Sally looked at him for a long while before throwing herself into his arms, "Frans~"
Frans's face turned red, "The children's naptime is short, we should wait until evening."
"..." She was happy, not desperate!
But a moment of intimacy was still okay, "Mhm, let's take care of important matters first."
