Chapter 998: Chapter 996: Do you... love him?

...

When Sally saw Saint Sa and Xiaoqi together, she was genuinely surprised.

Because she gave him her Sound Transmission Talisman. Asking him to contact her when he arrived in Beast World so she could meet him.

"I thought you were going to stand me up." Sally laughed.

Saint Sa looked at her eyebrows and slender waist, "Pregnant again?"

Next to him, Xiaoqi also tilted her head to look at her mother, "Is it true?"

Sally patted her head, "Of course not. Didn’t mother promise you not to have any babies for these tens of thousands of years?"

"But mother and Uncle Yi..." Xiaoqi had naturally heard the rumors from the elders.

"Not now." Sally smiled.

"Hmm!" Xiaoqi hugged Sally’s waist, "How about mother plays games with us?"

"I’m afraid not. Let mother chat with Professor Saint Sa first, and you go play with your siblings." Sally kissed her little face.

"Alright then." Xiaoqi returned the kiss to Sally and said, "I’m going to find Little Shiliu; her boyfriend said he wanted to break up with her."

"Ah?" Sally was stunned, "Mother will come to find you all in a while."

Xiaoqi jumped and skipped away.

Sally and Saint Sa found an outdoor fast food place and ordered two meals.

Sipping her drink, Sally looked at Saint Sa, "What’s going on between you and Yase?"

"Yase promised to tell me the murderer of my sister, while I helped him mislead you to the wrong Promised Wall." Saint Sa removed the glasses from his nose, revealing a pair of slender, somewhat seductive light brown eyes, his overly thin and pale face could be completely covered by a single hand.

Sally said, "But I still reached the Promised Land."

"That was your destiny, a place you were bound to reach despite all the twists and turns." Saint Sa replied.

"Destiny." Sally chuckled lightly, "What’s your destiny then?"

"Empress." Saint Sa put on his glasses again.

"Empress? You, a man..." Sally understood and sighed lightly, "Who isn’t a pawn? Even a king is just a piece on the chessboard."

"But it also depends on what kind of chessboard it is."

"Exactly, welcome to Beast World." Sally raised her drink.

"Please take care of me." Saint Sa also raised his drink, toasting below Sally’s glass rim.

"Is Yase still alive?" Sally asked a question that had lingered in her heart.

Saint Sa adjusted his glasses, gazed at Sally for a while, then countered, "Do you wish for him to be alive or dead?"

"Honestly, I don’t know." Sally looked up, gazing at the vast, blue sky.

"Do you... love him?" Saint Sa asked.

Sally didn’t answer him but merely curled one corner of her lip in a very subtle smile.

Saint Sa wanted to say more, but upon seeing that smile, he quietly took a sip of his drink.

...

Mist Sea City, a gaming resort for high-level players.

Little Shiliu had bought a building here, for her siblings to rest in.

After separating from Saint Sa, Sally followed the location sent by Xiaoqi to reach here.

Actually, buying buildings in games isn’t very cost-effective, and most of the time, their value depreciates when sold. So even real players tend to stay at player inns or big hotels, which is not only convenient but also saves the hassle of managing them.

But Little Shiliu likes investing in real estate, with properties in almost every city in the game.

Sally looked at the fifty-story building - Huazhou Mansion.

Then, using the password given by Xiaoqi, she directly input the code to enter.

Little Shiliu had left her the suite on the top floor.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, Mist Sea City was fully visible, its scenery breathtakingly beautiful.

Sally asked Xiaomei to re-add Little Shiliu’s offspring data and check her mental health data.

The check showed - mental health index at 99%, somewhat surprising, [Weren’t they supposed to break up? Why does she seem in a good mood?]

[That proves she doesn’t really care.] Xiaomei replied.

Sally: [... Better ask her.]

She directly summoned Little Shiliu to her side, then looked at the imposing aura Little Shiliu had... Sally first handed her a cold can of juice.

"Calm down."

"Mother, I’m doing a mission in Death Soul Valley, what’s up?" Little Shiliu took the juice, popped the tab open and drank it all in one go.

"..." Sally asked her to sit down, "Did you buy this building?"

"Yes, a place for everyone to live. Anyway, the money in the game can’t be used outside, so I spent it here." Little Shiliu replied matter-of-factly.

"Don’t you buy equipment or anything?" Usually, people use money to upgrade themselves, right?

Little Shiliu replied, "My equipment is all gifted by my siblings, no need to buy. I just bought an amusement park in Underground City for Little Guoguo sister to play in."

"Alright. Later, send me your real estate details, so I won’t need to book hotels anymore." Sally chuckled.

"No problem." Little Shiliu immediately opened the game interface and sent all the properties she bought to Sally.

"By the way, Xiaoqi said you had a breakup." Sally looked at her expression and asked Xiaomei to monitor her mental data changes.

Little Shiliu paused for a moment, then indifferently said, "He finds new interest, why should I keep him?"

"... True." Sally suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"Isn’t Uncle Ming the same? A man who changes his heart shouldn’t be kept."

"Uh, mother’s situation is different from yours." Sally didn’t want the kids to learn from her, "Mother has Xiaomei, your Aunt Xiaomei relies on nurturing you all to upgrade. And mother survives through that."

Little Shiliu understood Sally’s meaning, "Mother doesn’t need to worry. Daughter is still searching and will eventually find a worthy man to confide in for life."

"It’s good that you understand mother’s meaning." Sally didn’t know what more to say.

Little Shiliu took out a tray of oranges from her Little Storage Bag, "These are fruits grown by Uncle Zhu, mother should eat them."

"Hmm." Sally took an orange, "So, you and that boy?"

Little Shiliu smiled, "He’s already past tense."

"Was it because of long distance?"

Little Shiliu replied, "It can’t be said to be unrelated, but both sides originally didn’t have long-term plans. Besides, I’m currently very happy."

"Don’t want to return to System World?"

"No plans to return for now. Mother, you should go see dad when you have time, okay?"

"Your dad?" Sally remembered she once promised Little Shiliu to visit Qin Mo, "Yes."

"Thank you, mother." Little Shiliu kissed Sally, although unsure if Sally would actually go, she still had to try hard, you never know... Her dad would be so happy he’d wake up laughing from his dreams.

"Then I’ll go back to doing my mission." Little Shiliu replied.

"Go ahead." Sally nodded.

Little Shiliu hurried away.

Sally lay on the sofa, [Xiaomei, I realize I really can’t do emotional counseling.]

Xiaomei replied, [That’s because the host herself is still muddled about it.]

[Sigh!]

[Actually, as long as they aren’t experiencing malignant changes, the host should let them resolve it themselves. After all, it’s a test they inevitably face in the process of growth.]

Sally peeled an orange and ate half, a bit melancholic, [Just afraid they follow my example.]

Xiaomei replied, [That’s not impossible.]

The sweet orange suddenly lost its taste...
