Chapter 988: Chapter 986 Heavenly Dao Warning

[Where is he?]

[In the dungeon of the Immortal Dynasty, heavily injured.]

[What? Sounds like he’s having a rough time.] Sally said to Jian, "Xiaomei has found the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon."

"Why is he here as well?" Jian looked at Sally, "Could it be... you’re here because of him?"

"That’s impossible." Sally replied, "If I were here for him, I’d be much more comfortable in the Divine Realm. Coming to the mortal world is suffocating; even breathing feels sluggish. Truly, it’s easy to ascend from mortality to divinity, but difficult to descend from divinity into mortality."

"...Just because you found it easy to ascend doesn’t mean everyone else does."

"Alright, I admit I’m walking an unusual path."

"What is the Ancestral Dragon here for?"

"It seems he’s here to investigate the Awakening Path."

"Yes, I’ve heard that too. However, the Awakening Path would be better investigated by your master Qing Lai; he has a deep understanding of the Refining Dao Method. On the other hand, the Ancestral Dragon is rather straightforward, focusing only on the Hongmeng Dao."

"Tch~ My master is a sly old fox; don’t count on him."

"Hehe, are you going to help the Ancestral Dragon?"

"I’ll take a look, whether I help or not depends on the situation."

Sally spoke, then asked Little Zhouzhou, "Baobao, would you like to visit the Immortal Dynasty and see your Ancestral Dragon brother?"

"Ancestral Dragon brother?" Jian raised an eyebrow, "You’re treating him like family!"

"He looks so young, like he’s seventeen or eighteen. Even Frost, when transformed into human form, can be his buddy." Sally laughed, "But, calling him brother doesn’t fit. His status is greater than yours, so let’s call him uncle instead."

"No, Ancestral Dragon brother sounds good." Jian laughed and held Little Zhouzhou, "Son, call him Ancestral Dragon brother, alright?"

"Okay, Ancestral Dragon brother." Little Zhouzhou replied.

Sally looked at the fish, which Little Zhouzhou had fed milk to, pitifully surviving, "What should we do with the fish?"

"Let the child keep it as a pet." Jian took a bucket from the Storage Bag, placed the fish inside, and added some water.

The fish immediately started swimming upon touching the water.

Little Zhouzhou joyfully spun around the bucket.

Sally patted his head, "He’s never seen anything, so he likes everything he sees."

She then looked up at Jian, "And I, having seen all sorts of beauty, what do you think can still captivate me?"

"That’s true." Jian laughed.

"So you’re not worried about me being seduced by beauty; you’re just here for a date, right?" Sally’s eyes sparkled, especially enchanting.

Jian lowered his head and kissed her lips, his eyes lightly sparkling...

Embarrassed! Sally looked at him in surprise, gradually softening her charming gaze.

Little Zhouzhou watched them, tilted his head in thought, took the fish from the bucket, then opened his mouth wide, "Ah-woo~"

Bit the fish’s mouth!

Jian noticed it from the corner of his eye, and couldn’t help but laugh while holding Sally, "Hahaha..."

Sally also noticed Little Zhouzhou and the fish kissing, and laughed in Jian’s arms, "My foolish son!"

...

Immortal Dynasty, Wenxian City.

Little Zhouzhou sat on Jian’s shoulders, looking down at the street with wide, curious eyes.

"We should have brought Little Guoguo with us." Sally pinched Little Zhouzhou’s chubby white feet, so cute and tiny.

"She grows slowly, awake only a few times a day, mostly sleeping. Sometimes if you don’t disturb her to nurse, she’ll sleep through three to five days." Jian tilted his head to look at Little Zhouzhou, "Apparently, Little Zhouzhou has a shorter growth period."

"We still don’t know his patterns yet." Sally replied.

"I’m going to the dungeon, you and our son find a place to rest first."

"Why not bring him along? I want to see how he is now."

So I can tease him later... Sally laughed and said, "We’ll see." Then she gently bit Little Zhouzhou’s round, chubby foot and kissed Jian before teleporting away.

Since they were in Immortal City, her sudden disappearance didn’t draw attention from those around.

But Sally’s bold declaration of love surprised people.

With many eyes upon him, Jian felt joyous and entered a fruit shop with Little Zhouzhou, "Son, let’s go buy some sweet fruit, alright? Your mom loves it."

"Okay!" Little Zhouzhou replied, "Dad’s the best!"

"Say more, Dad loves hearing it." Jian nodded, satisfied.

"Dad’s the very very best! The most handsome! The strongest..." Little Zhouzhou repeated everything Jian taught him.

...

Sally teleported directly to the location Xiaomei scanned, arriving on the fourth level of the dungeon!

The air was thick and fetid, filled with wails from the tormented prisoners.

Sally used an Invisibility Talisman, walking through the dungeon as if no one was around, witnessing prisoners tortured beyond recognition.

Eventually, she stopped in front of a cell.

Amid the stench of rotting straw, a skeletal figure curled up like a fetus, evoking pity.

[That’s the Ancestral Dragon.] Xiaomei told Sally.

Sally frowned, [How did he end up like this?]

Last time he entered the mortal world as an Emperor, momentarily glorious, but now he’s become a prisoner.

Sally teleported into the cell and squatted down to look at the Ancestral Dragon, bald with no hair and scars on his head.

[Not just a prisoner, but a monk.] Sally told Xiaomei.

Two guards arrived and opened the cell door.

One kicked the figure in the straw, "Fan Yi! The Empress Dowager summons."

The other saw no response, "He might be dead. The Empress Dowager said to torment him but didn’t allow him to die."

Sally narrowed her eyes slightly, Empress Dowager?

The figure in the straw moved.

"He’s still alive, see?"

Immediately, the two guards dragged him out, each grabbing an arm.

[Why doesn’t the Host rescue the Ancestral Dragon?] Xiaomei asked.

Sally frowned, [I can’t.]

[Why not?]

[The Heavenly Dao just warned me that the Ancestral Dragon has entered a tribulation.]

[A tribulation? What kind?]

[I don’t know either, the Heavenly Dao didn’t say. Let’s go back and ask Jian.]

[Should we trace the Ancestral Dragon’s past to see what led to this?]

[Forget it, knowing won’t change anything, and it will only add troubles.] Sally decided to take the advice and not intervene in the Ancestral Dragon’s tribulation.

...

Jian sat in a teahouse holding Little Zhouzhou, engrossed in listening to a storytelling performance.

The storyteller noticed this pair, rare in both appearance and demeanor, crafting his tale with even more emotion.

The surrounding listeners were distracted, occasionally stealing glances at this father and son.

A slim woman approached and stood beside the father and son.

At first glance, she seemed to be a maid serving them.

Then, the woman directly took the adorable little boy from the man’s arms, and the little boy actually spoke, calling the woman—mom!

This... how could it be!

The man gazed at the woman with unmistakable infatuation, clearly she was the love he held dear in his heart!
