Chapter 983: Chapter 981: Returning Karma

[Hungry, Xiaomei, give me something to eat.]

[Alright, Host, what would you like to eat?]

[Coffee, bread.]

[Alright, Host.]

Sally drank a cup of coffee to refresh herself. Then, while gnawing on bread, she looked up at the high and steep cliff, [Xiaomei, go up.]

[Alright, Host.]

In the blink of an eye, Sally had left the cliff bottom and returned to the top.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of hooves growing closer.

Xiaomei opened the System Map, and soon they saw a young boy in plain clothes with an air of nobility hidden between his brows, not matching his current appearance.

The young boy anxiously whipped the chestnut horse under him, urging it to run faster.

Sally recalled Yu Bei Qiu’s life; this young boy was Yu Bei Qiu’s servant, Ling Yue, the only person who cared for her.

Soon, the boy on horseback reached Sally, leaped off his horse, and examined her from all angles to ensure she was unharmed before kneeling on the ground.

The boy’s legs trembled from exertion due to excessive riding.

The chestnut horse, having delivered him to the mountaintop, fell dead.

Sally said to Xiaomei: [Revive the horse.]

[Yes, Host.] Xiaomei responded.

After convulsing for a moment, the chestnut horse stood up again, looking more spirited and possessing greater spiritual energy than before.

[Host, Xiaomei fed him two expired Intelligence-Enhancing Pills.]

[... Apparently, even expired elixirs still have effect.]

"How about calling you Little Zao?" Sally said to the chestnut horse.

The chestnut horse drew closer to Sally, showing evident signs of affection.

Ling Yue looked at Sally in astonishment, "Young Mistress, you can speak now?"

"..." In the video, Yu Bei Qiu hadn’t spoken since she was six, mute all day, not even crying out loud.

"I’ve always been able to speak." Sally mounted the horse and extended her hand to Ling Yue, "Let’s return to the residence."

"No need, no need, I can run beside it." Ling Yue replied.

Sally withdrew her hand, watching him for a while.

Finally, she looked up at the midday sun above her, then said to Ling Yue, "Yu Shenghuan tricked me here and ordered her nanny, Nanny Liu, to push me down the mountain. Fortunately, I was entangled by vines and miraculously survived."

Ling Yue’s eyes turned red immediately, "Don’t worry, Young Mistress, I will surely avenge you."

"My revenge has nothing to do with you; it’s mine to take." Sally looked at Ling Yue, "But you should leave."

Sally had Xiaomei track Ling Yue and found his true identity as the son of the Nanling Monarch. Due to harem conflicts and strife, his mother was also persecuted. On her deathbed, she sent him out of the palace to escape disaster. However, the palace attendant escorting him had long been bribed.

After leaving the palace, he was sold to traffickers, became displaced, and ended up as a slave in Yu Residence of Dayong.

Now, the Nanling Monarch is critically ill and won’t last much longer.

The Immortal Dynasty has already dispatched an Immortal Envoy to Nanling Kingdom to establish a new king.

Though the heirs of the Four Monarch Countries are formally appointed by the Immortal Dynasty, they’re practically selected from each monarch’s imperial children, unless the monarch has no descendants, or the imperial children lack the ability to inherit the throne. Only then would selection occur within the kingdom’s scope. If unavailable, they would draw from the Immortal Dynasty.

The Nanling Monarch currently has three sons and four daughters, inevitably leading to a struggle for power.

Sally had Xiaomei display the information she gathered in video form, directly in the air.

Ling Yue remained motionless on the ground after watching, with no reaction for a long time.

Sally handed him a Cultivation Technique, which Xiaomei had translated into the Human Realm’s language, along with two top-grade spiritual stones, "You have a Spirit Root; cultivate according to the Cultivation Method. Currently, spiritual energy is thin in the Four Monarch Countries, requiring a large amount of it for awakening your Spirit Vein. These two top-grade spiritual stones can help you complete the Spirit Vein awakening. The rest of the cultivation will depend on your luck."

"You’re not the Young Mistress! Who exactly are you?" Ling Yue looked at Sally with both caution and shock.

Sally thought for a moment before replying: "The reason I’m not speaking is that my soul is incomplete. The Young Mistress Yu Bei Qiu you tend to is actually just a part of me. The real me was training in the Blessed Land Cave Heaven. Now, I’ve just returned to my true self. Passing these to you is to repay your loyalty to me over the years. From now on, we’re even!"

After speaking, Sally nudged the horse with her feet and galloped down the mountain.

Ling Yue, holding the Cultivation Technique and spiritual stones, stayed frozen for a long time.

[Why did the Host tell Ling Yue to leave, tell him his lineage, and guide him to cultivate?]

[Yu Bei Qiu is dead; I’m settling the grievances as repayment for borrowing her body.]

[Oh, then where is the Host going now? To seek revenge for Yu Bei Qiu?]

[If you could eliminate the virus now, we could return to the Divine Realm immediately.]

[Yes, Host. 003, keep up the good work! When distributing points, I’ll give you 50,000.] Xiaomei said to 003.

responded: [Yes, Sister Xiao Mei.]

Sally: [... Indeed, a team reflects its leader. You and your Main System are alike exactly!]

[Absolutely not... Hey?] Xiaomei suddenly made a surprised sound.

[What’s wrong?] Sally asked.

Xiaomei replied: [Little Zhouzhou woke up; his dormancy period has ended.]

Sally: [How so quickly? Didn’t you say it would be a year?]

Xiaomei said: [That’s how the growth period of high-class Blood Clan is. Perhaps the son of the Blood Master is different. Xiaomei has recorded the data and will have the Main System investigate when seen.]

[Okay, give me Little Zhouzhou.] She had not seen the little fellow for several days.

But when Xiaomei brought him out from the System Space, Sally was taken aback. The little guy had grown from a baby into the likeness of a three-year-old.

The ruby-colored eyes had turned black, big and bright, hair now black, soft, and especially dense.

The sharp little teeth had retracted, becoming eight small ivory teeth, clean and neat.

Sally cuddled the little one affectionately, smelling sweet and soft, irresistibly cute, and likable, "Glad to have one Baobao to bring down, makes the mission less boring. Little Zhouzhou, I’m your mama~ Come~ Call me—Mama~"

"Mama~" Little Zhouzhou, barefoot with little white chubby toes, jumped into Sally’s arms.

Sally gently laughed in response, "Hey~ Wonderful! Little Zhouzhou and Mama are now riding the horse called Little Zao, come, learn with Mama—Little Zao~"

"Little Zao~" Little Zhouzhou mimicked Sally, learning to speak.

Little Zao snorted, running steadily as if on flat ground.

Sally said to Xiaomei: [Give me two carrots.]

These carrots were from Zulu’s farm, crispy, sweet, and delicious. Sally always fed them raw to Xiaoqi and others.

She gave a small thin one to Little Zhouzhou for teething.

The other was for Little Zao to eat.

After eating, Little Zao was happy, snorting again and running faster and steadier.

Little Zhouzhou bit down ’crunch~ crunch~’, though he wouldn’t eat, spitting everything out.

Sally tied a bib on him, allowing him to spit freely.

After chewing through a small carrot, Sally handed him a milk bottle.

This time, the little one eagerly sucked ’glug glug~’, drinking milk with big gulps.
