Many descendants

Su Yan turned to look at him and chuckled, "How about I take a look at your beastly form?"

Zhu Sanlang awkwardly looked away. "I'll show it to you."

The Ghost Phoenix continued to destroy the lightning pillars before disappearing into the air.

And that true feather also turned into pieces of spiritual light and dissipated.

Manman gazed at those lights, her eyes filled with reluctance.

The calamity clouds in the sky quickly disappeared, and a colorful auspicious cloud appeared above Manman's head, casting a beam of spiritual light that enveloped Manman.

Manman was enveloped in spiritual light... until all the spiritual light merged into her body, the auspicious clouds in the sky began to disperse.

Even though Su Yan had never seen it before, she knew that Manman had entered the Spirit Realm. She said to Zhu Sanlang, "I'm full."

Then he teleported to Manman's side, looking at her eyes that shone with spiritual light and her beautiful, upturned eyeliner, "Congratulations, my Manman, you've entered the Spirit Rank."

"But Mother, the feathers Father gave me are gone." Manman threw herself into Su Yan's arms, very sad.

Su Yan hugged her and gently comforted her, "If your father knew that it was his True Feather that protected you through the Heavenly Realm, he would be very happy."

"Ah."

"I'm asking you, if someone bullies you, will you use the real feather your father gave you to protect yourself?"

"That depends on whether I can remember. I only found Father's feather last night when I was sorting through the storage bag."

"..." Luckily, I remembered to tidy up last night. But where did I get this careless nature from?

"Mother, Third Uncle, I want to go into seclusion to consolidate my cultivation level and the inheritance of the Ghost Phoenix Clan. I just awakened a part of it."

"Okay, do you want to go back to your space?" Su Yan asked, thinking it would be a good opportunity to have Xiao Mei take a look. Xiao Mei was quite knowledgeable about the Ghost Phoenix Clan's heritage.

"Mmm." Manman nodded.

Su Yan took her into her spatial storage.

"Let's go back then, I'll cook for you," Zhu Sanlang said to Su Yan.

"Okay." Su Yan nodded.

Zhu Sanlang embraced her and returned to Yunmeng Island.

But there are already people on the island.

A woman wearing a flowing, cloud-sleeved fairy dress, with long, jet-black hair, part of which was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the rest cascading down her back like a waterfall.

Chu Wanwan looked at Zhu Sanlang, completely ignoring Su Yan.

"Sanlang, come back with me." Her voice was as beautiful as heavenly music, yet it carried an undeniable forcefulness.

Zhu Sanlang's body stiffened instantly, and the arm that had been holding Su Yan slowly lowered. "Senior Sister... I've found her."

"Shut up! A descendant of divine beasts, hanging out with a rat demon, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?" Chu Wanwan interrupted him before he could finish speaking!

“I love her!” Zhu Sanlang blurted out.

Chu Wanwan's face turned deathly pale. "What did you say?"

Zhu Sanlang looked at her face, his eyes filled with pity. "Senior Sister, I love her. And she's already pregnant with my child!"

"Impossible!" A trickle of bright red blood suddenly spilled from the corner of Chu Wanwan's mouth. "Sanlang, say that again!"

Seeing this, Su Yan secretly said to Xiao Mei, "She's a tough one! Do you think I should pretend to have a miscarriage scare and see who Zhu Sanlang chooses?"

"No, that will only lead to your own humiliation." Xiaomei retorted bluntly, "How can a few months of passion compare to hundreds of years of companionship and thousands of years of longing?"

"Sanlang, why didn't you introduce me? This is Senior Sister." Su Yan took Zhu Sanlang's arm and even pressed herself against him.

Chu Wanwan's face grew paler and paler as she stared intently at Su Yan holding Zhu Sanlang's hand.

Zhu Sanlang did not pull his arm away; instead, he continued to express his determination, "I only want to be with Yan Yan for the rest of my life."

"Well said!" Su Yan praised.

"Didn't the host say before that he wanted to leave smoothly?" Xiao Mei asked.

[How was I supposed to know this one would arrive so early? I thought she'd be in her late pregnancy, or better yet, after giving birth. She's only three or four months along, how can she possibly leave?] Su Yan was quite practical, and besides, this baby in her belly was extremely difficult to care for. If she relied solely on the rare and precious herbs she had saved up, she'd be eating dirt in no time.

Therefore, she cannot leave Zhu Sanlang now, no matter what.

Even if someone leaves, it should be him; Yunmeng Island must remain for her.

Although I'm not entirely sure if the island will be enough for her to eat for three years, it's definitely enough for a year.

"Sanlang, my old injury has flared up again, and I need to return to the sect to recuperate. Can you take me back?" Chu Wanwan asked weakly.

When she mentioned her old injury, a complex and conflicted look flashed in Zhu Sanlang's eyes.

Su Yan secretly winked at him, signaling him not to leave!

But Zhu Sanlang still pulled his arm away from Su Yan's hand. "Yan Yan, wait for me for a moment. I'll take Senior Sister back and come right back."

"Fool!" Su Yan pulled him behind her. Couldn't he see through this little trick? She had thought he was smart before.

"Senior Sister, this teleportation array can take you directly back to your sect. Why make him make the extra trip?" Su Yan stated directly.

Chu Wanwan frowned, clearly disliking Su Yan. What right did Su Yan have to interfere in her and Zhu Sanlang's affairs? So what if she was pregnant? She was just a bastard.

"Sanlang? What do you think?"

Zhu Sanlang looked at the blood at the corner of her mouth and handed her a clean handkerchief. "Senior Sister, I'll take you back."

Chu Wanwan took the handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her lips. She said to Su Yan, "This old wound of mine was inflicted while saving Sanlang. Even if I never reach the realm of immortals again in this life, as long as Sanlang is well, I will be content."

Su Yan suddenly realized.

Looking at Zhu Sanlang, I felt pity... This is a debt that costs him his life, he's entangled with it so tightly, if he ignores it, he'll be ungrateful.

But if he agrees, how will he treat her and the child?

"Xiaomei, do you think Yunmeng Island is big enough to raise a child?"

[That's enough. The host is only seeing the island; there's actually another world beneath it.]

Since that's the case, let him go.

Su Yan took two steps back, put her hands behind her back, and gave Zhu Sanlang her most beautiful smile. "A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, let alone a life-saving grace. Sanlang, go and see Senior Sister off."

Chu Wanwan was somewhat surprised by Su Yan's sudden change, but it was best for her to be sensible.

Zhu Sanlang looked ashamed. "Yan Yan, just eat whatever you like. I'll cook for you when I get back."

"Okay." But that depends on you being able to come back.

Su Yan waved her hand, watching them disappear into the teleportation array, the smile on her face gradually fading.

Finally, only a sigh drifted away on the wind: "That's it then, Xiaomei, let's take care of the pregnancy ourselves."

[The host needs to eat.]

[Okay, how's Manman? Was she alright during her tribulation?]

[Manman is doing well. She has awakened her bloodline inheritance and will be in seclusion for a period of time, possibly one or two months, or possibly one or two years.]

【Oh? What if she gets hungry?】

[Upon reaching the Spirit Rank, one can forgo food. If the host is not pregnant, their appetite is currently very low.]
