Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

Before she could think about why she could still give commands even with her mouth gagged, Xixi quickly stared at the other person, and two energy bars gradually appeared.

As expected of Master Bai, he has indeed done a lot of work to have been in charge of the arena for so many years. His mental strength is in no way weaker than hers. The two are evenly matched and neither can gain the upper hand!

This is the first time Xixi has ever seen a female whose mental strength is comparable to her own!

Without time to consider the consequences, Xixi directly unleashed her mental energy, forcefully attacking the opponent.

In an instant, it was as if Mars had collided with Earth; the world lost its color, and the sun and moon were reversed.

Xixi rolled her eyes and collapsed limply, while Bai Ye also rolled his eyes and could no longer stir up any trouble, ending his sinful life in flames.

"Xixi!" Tuntun was stunned. She was just watching the show, how could she suddenly faint?

Meanwhile, Kun Hai, who was on the upper floor, also noticed Xi Xi's condition. He leaped down from the upper floor, grabbed Xi Xi in his arms, and scanned the surroundings with a wary gaze.

"Rest assured, everyone. If Xixi is safe, I will naturally not make things difficult for you!" He made a promise, but this could also be interpreted as, "If Xixi is in trouble, I will certainly not let you off the hook!"

Tun Tun volunteered, "I'm Xi Xi's good friend, and I would never hurt her. Why don't I take care of her?"

The city lord gave her a cold look. "The last one who claimed to be a friend of Xixi has already embarked on the road to the underworld!"

Without any friendly response, Tun Tun and her group were forced to stay at the City Lord's Mansion. Some other people who lived nearby also checked in. It could be said that because Xi Xi suddenly fainted, the City Lord chose to strike indiscriminately.

The execution was witnessed, and the Bai family's life came to a complete end without causing any trouble, which was beyond everyone's expectations. It made it seem that the series of precautions they had taken had failed to work.

The sudden fainting of the city lord's wife and the city lord's anger directed at others were also unexpected by everyone.

Immediately, various discussions spread like wildfire.

Some praised the city lord for his doting love for his wife, saying he was a true role model for men and worthy of being the city lord of Yunyao City.

Some criticized the city lord for taking his anger out on others, saying that the city lord's wife's coma was due to her own physical problems and had nothing to do with others.

It's poignant to see the arena truly gone, and Bai Ye truly burned to death. An era has finally come to an end, whether it was a great one or a sordid one!

Some people suspect that the one who died might not have been Master Bai, but rather her double, since she died too easily and never managed to mount an effective resistance.

Some people say that this is a battle of gods, and they, as laymen, can just watch the show. Judging from the amount of evidence the city lord has collected, this is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision!

In short, all sorts of rumors circulated, with many different opinions and a great deal of discussion surrounding the death of Master Bai and the news of the city lord's wife suddenly fainting while watching the execution.

What's even more exciting is that after Han Sui became the Holy Queen, Yunyao City finally welcomed its second Holy Queen of the year!

On the very night that Master Bai died by burning at the stake, a beam of light, visible to the naked eye, shone directly into the City Lord's Mansion, followed by a sentence echoing in everyone's ears:

The Millennium Holy Maiden Selection – The Second Holy Maiden – Xixi!

It must be said that fate is a wonderful thing. In the year of the thousand selections, the birth of the first two holy maidens both came from the city lord's mansion.

The only difference is that one is the city lord's rumored mistress, while the other is the city lord's legal wife.

Under the blessing of the beast god, Xixi's complexion was rosy and radiant, and her skin was smooth and delicate, as if she had been soaking in milk, washing away all impurities.

Xixi, on the other hand, seemed to be shrouded in a thick white fog, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face and could not see the road ahead.

"Is anyone there?" Xixi called out.

"My child, my child, you've finally returned!" A gentle voice seemed to come from the depths of the soul, both distant and yet very near.

"Who? Who's there?" Xixi shuddered in fright and instinctively tried to run away, but her feet felt like they were made of lead and she couldn't move an inch.

"Child, come here, let me see you!" With a gentle call, Xixi found her body floating forward uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding mist dissipated, revealing a large tree!

The tree was huge, with a diameter of at least 100 meters and a canopy that blocked out the sun. However, despite its size, the tree bore no fruit and not even a single flower.

It's lush and green, but it's a bit monotonous.

It was only then that Xixi noticed a green vine wrapped around her waist, which was what had brought her here.

"Who are you?" Xixi asked.

"Child, have you forgotten me?" Her gentle voice held an indescribable sense of dejection. She murmured to herself, almost self-deprecatingly, "Of course, the child has grown up and has their own life, so naturally they no longer remember."

"No, that's not true. Even when children grow up and become adults, old memories will always remain in their hearts, whether sweet or bitter, indelible! No matter how much time has passed, these memories will always surface from time to time, resonating with their present selves."

For some reason, Xixi felt a strong sense of intimacy when facing this big tree, as if she were born to be the tree's daughter.

She instinctively couldn't bear to see the tree sad and instinctively wanted to comfort it, even though she knew perfectly well that she was neither a plant nor a beastman, but a human from Earth!

She couldn't explain this feeling of closeness, after all, even in her previous life, she had left her family early and had never been able to be by her side to show filial piety.

"Are you...my mother?" Xixi asked tentatively.

Although she asked the question, Xixi herself thought it was ridiculous, but she still asked it anyway.

Unexpectedly, the tree readily admitted it, even responding with a tone of relief and joy, "Child, you finally remember?"

"Uh...actually, no." Xixi couldn't bear to lie and spread her hands honestly. "To be more precise, I have no memory of anything here because I come from another world—Blue Star. I think you may have mistaken me for someone else. Although...you are very gentle, and I would very much like to be your child, and even...for a moment, I really thought that perhaps I really am your child, but...I can't lie to you...I...Do you understand what I mean?"

Silence, a very long silence, so long that Xixi once thought she had deeply hurt the other person, and that she might die here and never be able to get out again.

But then the big tree in front of them suddenly began to tremble, all of its canopies shaking, followed by a silvery laugh that echoed throughout the space.

Despite the terrifying situation, Xixi felt no fear; instead, she felt a sense of happiness, as if she were nestled in her mother's arms.
