Chapter 921: Chapter 919: Once a stranger, twice an acquaintance!

"My head hurts, I don’t want to go," Manman lay in Xiaoshi’s arms.

Xiaoshi patted her, "Then we won’t go."

Xiaoqi took a piece of beef jerky from the snack basket and chewed on it, "I don’t think it’s a big deal. Uncle Ming is in business; he can’t avoid socializing."

"Why doesn’t Uncle Rong have to deal with that?"

"My dad? He’s just a poor teacher and has to tutor my two younger brothers every day. He doesn’t have the chance to meet those women of ill repute. If he did, maybe he’d do more than just watch them dance."

"You’re slandering your dad behind his back since he’s not here."

Zi Qi came over, holding Xiao Suisui and placed him on the blanket where they were playing games.

Xiaoshi and Manman courteously greeted him.

Xiaoqi dove straight toward him, "Daddy, will you play poker with us, please?"

"No, Daddy has to make a trip to the Azure Dragon Clan."

"What are you going to do there?"

"Hehe, it’s because you and your sisters beat up that little Azure Dragon. Your Uncle Zhu is there too; the Clan Leader of the Azure Dragon Clan has asked me to mediate."

"Sister Xiao Jiayu sure has a heavy hand," Xiao Suisui said: "Don’t mess with her."

Zi Qi: "...It’s all sisters and younger sisters who should not be messed with, got it?"

"Right, a true hero doesn’t pick fights with women!"

"Exactly." Zi Qi left with a smile.

Xiaoqi tidied the messy deck of cards and coolly asked Xiao Suisui, "So, do you want to play Landlord with us?"

Xiao Suisui jerked up and responded: "I’m in!"

"Oh? Who said, a true hero doesn’t pick fights with women?"

"Daddy Zi said that." Xiao Suisui immediately passed the buck, "I totally disagree."

"Alright, alright, stop picking on my little brother." Xiaoshi couldn’t help but smile, "Let’s deal the cards. What about you, Manman?"

"I’ll head out for a bit; you guys play with Xiao Suisui first."

"Okay, feel free to get in touch."

"Mhm."

Xiao Suisui sensed something was up and quietly asked, "What happened?"

Xiaoshi replied, "Mind your own business, where’s Little Miqi?"

Xiao Suisui: "She went to the Lower Realm, said Father King was looking for her. Wow~ I’ve got the big Joker!"

Xiaoshi: "Silly brother, keep your good cards close to your chest."

Xiao Suisui nodded with a sneaky delight, "Wow~ I’m so awesome!"

Xiaoqi got it, "The Jokers are both in his hands."

Xiaoshi: "..."

...

Sally followed Pei Xuan until the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were ripe, and it was a Thunder Heart Lotus.

Only after harvesting all the purple lotus seeds that shimmered with the power of Thunder did they leave the Beast Forest.

Sally sat on Pei Xuan’s back and counted the lotus seeds in her palm—a total of twelve, "Xuanxuan, can I eat one to try?"

"You can eat them all if you want," Pei Xuan walked slowly.

"That wouldn’t do; I have to save at least two for our son," Sally ate one purple lotus seed, and suddenly it felt like she had a mouthful of popping candy, with tiny sparks of electricity exploding and tingling pleasantly.

"I’ll eat two more." Sally ate another two, and this time her whole body felt electrified, utterly refreshing!

Xiaomei said to Sally, "[Host, Host, good stuff—eat more of it.]"

"[Mhm.]" Sally picked up two more seeds and tossed them into her mouth.

Pei Xuan looked back at her, his large golden eyes twinkling with profound doting affection, "I know a hot spring pool; want to go?"

"Okay." Sally pulled out a Divine Jade Box from the System Space, tucked away six lotus seeds, and tossed the last one into her mouth, "Really tasty."

"No need to save any for Xiaohao."

"I’m not one to hog it all to myself; I have to save a bite for the kids," Sally said with a smile.

"I’ll find you some more later," Pei Xuan said. "It’s possible that the child you’re carrying has the Thunder Element’s Talent."

"Mm. The Innate Secret Technique of a child has a lot to do with what I eat while carrying them. I was a bit unfair to Xiaohao when I was pregnant with him." Sally looked at Pei Xuan, perhaps this was why Pei Xuan went around looking for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for Xiaohao.

"No problem. If the Innate is not enough, the Acquired can make up for it. He’s doing quite well now, Tuo says he’s no different from a Pure Blood Divine Mystical Panther."

"Tuo?"

"The former and current Domain Lord of the Huangling Domain," Pei Xuan replied.

Sally caught on, "The previous Divine Mystical Panther who asked you to be a Domain Lord, but you refused?"

Pei Xuan nodded, "That’s him."

Sally was curious, "Why did you refuse?"

Pei Xuan said, "I just feel that my experience and abilities are not sufficient to be a Domain Lord. Xiaohao can have it if he wants to in the future."

"You’re more than qualified. Zong Silu became a Domain Lord right after his Ascension, and with the old Clan Leader there to back him up, he’s been quite stable. Now, in the Divine Realm, who doesn’t call him ’Divine Monarch’ when they see him? You’ve been a Clan Leader in both the Immortal Realm and the Monster Beast Realm; you’ve got both the experience and the capability, totally enough. Even if you don’t want to do it later on, you can pass it on to our son. How great is that?" Sally responded.

"...Do you really think I’m suitable to be the Domain Lord of the Huangling Domain?" Pei Xuan stopped.

Sally nodded emphatically, "Don’t worry, you have me and the children as your support."

"Heh." Pei Xuan continued walking.

Sally turned into a little white mouse, climbed onto its head and lay down, the view really broad and the air filled with the scent of grass and flowers.

"Host, the tracking system is issuing a warning," Xiaomei told Sally.

Sally: "...Let it be, really, how does he manage to find me so accurately? I don’t remember letting him mark a Partner Mark."

"There’s a magnetic field around the Host’s heart."

"A magnetic field? What is that?"

"It’s a kind of Energy, Xiaomei can forcibly break it, but it might cause discomfort for the Host. Also asked the Main System, it told Xiaomei to investigate it on our own first."

"So Yan Ze doesn’t know what this magnetic field is either?"

"That’s right, Host."

"Do you suspect it’s related to Yase being able to spy on me anytime?"

"Yes. Because Xiaomei is quite sure there is nothing on the Host that could allow Yase to locate you remotely."

"...The heart, huh?" Sally reflected, "Should I change it? After becoming a Goddess, the heart isn’t critical to my life."

"We can try it out. If after changing your heart Yase can still spy on you, then it’s not a problem with the heart. But, can you endure the pain of heart replacement?"

"Once a novice, twice familiar. Besides, I’ve been through the Death Vortex twice... maybe you could make it painless? Just sleep it off."

"It’s possible."

"Mm, let’s change it now then."

"Alright, Host, the warning is cleared."

Sally said to Pei Xuan, "Xuanxuan, I’m going to take a nap."

"Mm, you sleep," Pei Xuan responded.

Sally burrowed into the fur around his neck, curled up... and soon passed out, as Xiaomei began the heart transplant.

But just as she was forcibly breaking the magnetic field to remove the heart, the fetus of the Blood Clan suddenly started to struggle! It erupted with a strong resistance!

Xiaomei paused the heart removal.

The fetus calmed down as well ...

Xiaomei woke Sally up.

Still a bit groggy, Sally asked, "Is it done?"

Xiaomei’s voice was very serious, "Not yet, Host. There is definitely something wrong with this heart!"
