Chapter 922 - 920: Connected Hearts

Chapter 922: Chapter 920: Connected Hearts

"What’s the problem?"

"The heart of the Blood Clan fetus is connected to the host’s heart. If we try to remove this heart, the fetus might be in mortal danger!"

Xiaomei played for Sally the video of the fetus putting up a strong resistance and desperately struggling.

"Is it through this heart that he draws my essence blood?"

"Yes, Host."

"Yanyan, we’ve arrived at the hot spring pool," Pei Xuan said to Sally.

Sally came back to her senses and transformed into human form, looking at the clear pool in front of her that emitted a faint warm mist, "It looks tempting."

With that, she changed into a bikini swimsuit and jumped in.

Pei Xuan looked at her alluring curves; from the back, one couldn’t tell she was pregnant at all. His Adam’s apple itched, and he suppressed the desire that was rising. "Yanyan, you soak first. I’m going to look around to see if there are any fruits or something."

Sally knew he wanted to cool down and didn’t expose him. "Mmm, I fancy something sweet and sour right now."

"Okay." Pei Xuan ran off.

Sally’s smile gradually faded. "Now I can be sure that the heart is related to Yase. The question is whether he has discovered the existence of the child or not."

Xiaomei replied, "If Yase knew about the Host being pregnant, with his controlling and possessive nature, he probably would have captured the Host by now."

"So he hasn’t found out yet. But being under his constant surveillance, especially if he sees the birth... it might be impossible to conceal."

"What do you want to do, Host?"

"The heart must be replaced, but how can we do it without affecting the fetus? You and 003 should research and see if there’s a way."

"Alright, Host. Can I tell the Main System?"

"You can."

Pei Xuan brought back quite a few fruits and even hunted a Red Gazelle, preparing to make roast meat for Sally.

Sally watched Pei Xuan busying himself and also came out of the water, wrapped in a bathrobe to help him.

However, the sweet fragrance emanating from Sally still made Pei Xuan’s blood run hot and his emotions stir.

Sally’s shiny, charming eyes looked at him, "Didn’t you say you sealed your beastly desires?"

Pei Xuan’s vertical pupil flickered, "Perhaps we need to strengthen the seal."

Sally pushed him into the hot spring pool with a shove, "But I want it! As the Beast Husband, you can’t refuse the Wife’s request, right?"

"... Yes!" Pei Xuan no longer restrained himself.

...

Sally followed Pei Xuan, living a hidden life in the Beast Forest for two years before returning to Su’s Restaurant.

Seeing a lot of people queuing at the restaurant’s door, she curiously asked, "Hello, what’s going on here?"

"The owner of the restaurant is doing a promotion, buy one get one free."

"Oh?" Sally entered the building.

Zulu, with a chef’s hat on his head, was weighing products for customers.

Seeing Sally return, he said to Yona, who was busy cutting meat, "Your mother’s back."

"Then Dad should hurry up and take care of her, I can handle things here," Yona responded.

...

"Tired? What do you feel like eating?" Zulu took Sally’s hand and walked towards the upstairs.

Sally noticed there were no customers inside, "Isn’t it mealtime? Why is it so empty?"

Zulu replied, "I was thinking about renovating the place, so we’ve temporarily closed for business. It’s a good thing you’re back, you can help have a look."

"Sure thing," Sally said to Xiaomei. "Provide five design proposals."

Xiaomei then told 003, "Produce five big hotel design proposals."

immediately switched to architect mode and began drafting the designs...

Sally: ...Xiaomei is getting better at squeezing 003 for work.

And 003, just like a little helper, did whatever Xiaomei asked.

"Have you been with Pei Xuan all these years?" Zulu asked.

Sally nodded. "Miss me? Why didn’t you send me a Sound Transmission Talisman?"

Zulu laughed. "I got a message from Pei Xuan not to look for you."

Sally: ...All right. He’s now gone to the Huangling Domain and might take up the mantle of Divine Monarch."

"Oh?" Zulu said with surprise, "That’s great news, when’s the feast? I’ll come over and help."

"You’ll definitely be needed," Sally took out five big hotel design plans from the System Space, "Pick one, and I’ll have Xiaomei decorate it for you."

"That’s fantastic," Zulu took the designs and reviewed each one.

He finally chose a tradition-style design imbued with elegance. The sun and moon encapsulated within, each step revealing a new vista, subtly graceful yet grand and thick with the air of detachment. It also had a vibrant feng shui energy. With the simple elegance of vegetation and the fine craftsmanship of metalwork, it created a masterful piece of art.

Especially the leisure residences, perfect for tea tasting, wine sipping, chess playing, zither stroking, and moon admiring... truely soothing to one’s mood and wellbeing.

Sally, reminded by Xiaomei, spent 50 million Fertility Points without a second thought.

"Host, I suggest temporarily closing Su’s Restaurant," Xiaomei told Sally.

Sally informed Zulu, "Xiaomei can start the renovation now, let’s halt the business outside for a while, or maybe shift it to my food stall."

Zulu said, "Let’s transfer it over for now, many are regular customers who’ve been waiting in line for quite a while."

Sally also changed into a new outfit and helped Zulu sell goods.

As for Su’s Restaurant, Xiaomei blocked it off with construction barriers, and later, to avoid disturbing the surroundings, Sally even set up a Barrier.

Zong Silu sensed Sally’s Divine Power aura and Teleported over from the Divine Beast University.

Seeing Zulu’s restaurant undergoing renovation, his eyes brightened, "Yanyan, you’re back."

"Mhm," Sally grabbed a handful of jerky and weighed it for a customer.

Zulu packed it up in a paper bag, "We’re almost out, you should take a break."

"Okay," Sally stepped away from the stall and walked towards Zong Silu.

The customers who recognized Zong Silu greeted him warmly and struck up conversations, and he responded to each of them in turn.

"You’re really popular, Dean Zong," Sally teased with a laugh, "I guess you must also have lots of Goddesses admiring and confessing to you?"

"No!" Zong Silu immediately denied it, "Dedicated heart to teaching, ears closed to tales of the wind and the flowers."

"Hahaha... Who could that be a veiled reference to?" Sally laughed. "Let’s go have a look at the university."

"Actually, I have a piece of vacant land, see if there’s something we can build?" Zong Silu smiled.

Sally followed Zong Silu into the Divine Beast University.

Walking on a grassy field, Sally suggested, "How about a sports complex?"

"A sports complex?" Zong Silu was surprised.

Sally had Xiaomei prepare some information about sports complexes for Zong Silu to study.

Zong Silu instantly became interested.

While looking over the information, he asked Sally, "You know about Ming Linyuan’s affairs, right?"

"I do. Jian mentioned it when he brought me those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures," Sally found Jian’s ’scheming’ tattletale behavior somewhat helpless.

After she became pregnant, Jian rarely stayed with her, spending most of his time searching for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to nurture the child, inevitably coming into contact with some merchants and naturally hearing the rumors about Ming Linyuan’s
