Many descendants

Ming Linyuan felt as if he had been drifting between heaven and earth for a long time, and had even arrived at a void. He wandered around there for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly a huge pulling force brought him back into his body.

He slowly opened his eyes; the light was so bright that he squinted for a moment before fully opening them.

What came into view was Su Yan's charming face, both adorable and infuriating!

"Yan Yan, this 'juice' of yours has a really strong aftereffect!" The voice was a little hoarse.

Su Yan looked at him with a smile, and even took out a mirror, clearly reflecting his face.

It has the shape of a phoenix, with crimson crest feathers that resemble a blazing flame, radiating a clearly visible spiritual energy!

"I'm really back?!" In the next instant, Ming Linyuan transformed back into human form, wearing a black brocade robe, his phoenix eyes sparkling with spiritual light.

Su Yan smiled and said, "Yes, although the demonic nature hasn't been completely dispelled, entering Phoenix Cry Valley should be no problem."

Ming Linyuan immediately sat down and looked inward. He was surprised to find that even the original demonic root meridians that he had been born with had turned into spiritual roots! As long as he continued to cultivate, he would be able to expel the rest sooner or later.

"Yan Yan, what kind of poison is this?"

"What poison? I've told you so many times. I drank it during my pregnancy. It's the essence of rare and precious herbs. But it's a bit too strong. Only those with a strong enough body can take it."

"A powerful beast body?" Ming Linyuan raised an eyebrow. "Does Yan Yan mean that I am powerful?"

"Of course!" Su Yan said, taking out another cup from her spatial storage. "Let's have another one!"

"No need, no need!" Ming Linyuan teleported away immediately.

He was terrified of the feeling of death, and he didn't have enough demonic energy in his body to help him resist the 'toxicity' of the juice.

One more cup, and I might really kick the bucket.

Ziqi was scolding Xiaoqi, but when she saw Ming Linyuan arrive, she temporarily restrained her aura.

Little Qi immediately burst into tears, crying, "Uncle Ming—"

"Oh dear, Xiao Qi, don't cry, Uncle Ming is here." Ming Linyuan quickly picked up Xiao Qi, glaring at Zi Qi with disapproval, "What happened? Why are you scolding us like this?"

Ziqi looked him up and down. "All done?"

Ming Linyuan nodded, "Yes, I feel much better. I won't have to stay in the Dark Continent all the time anymore."

Ziqi nodded. "Congratulations. Put her down; she's being punished by standing in the corner."

"What's wrong?" Ming Linyuan didn't let go.

Ziqi did not answer, but looked at Xiaoqi in his arms.

Xiao Qi stammered, "I... I just accidentally plucked one of Uncle Ming's red feathers."

As he spoke, he took the red feather out of his small storage bag.

Ming Linyuan was stunned. That was his true feather. A phoenix only has one, which can protect its offspring. He originally intended to give it to Manman. However, due to his transformation into a demon, it had also become demonic and useless. He never expected that Su Yan's 'poison' would even restore the spirit of this true feather.

Xiao Qi returned Zhen Yu to Ming Linyuan, asking, "Uncle Ming, can you forgive Xiao Qi?"

"It's alright. It was bound to fall off eventually. If Xiaoqi likes it, I'll give it to her." Ming Linyuan handed the real feather to her.

Xiao Qi shook her head, "No, no, Uncle Ming, give it to Sister Manman, I have this."

She took a small piece of blue scale from her storage bag.

Ziqi's gaze sharpened slightly upon seeing this.

Ming Linyuan feigned ignorance, "What is this?"

“When I was in college, an uncle gave it to me. He said that if I was in danger, I could drip my blood on it and a god would appear to save me.”

Ming Linyuan continued, "Who is that uncle?"

Xiaoqi thought for a moment, "He seems familiar, but I've never seen him before."

"Lin Yuan, give me Xiao Qi." Su Yan walked over, reached out and took Xiao Qi from Ming Lin Yuan's hands, and also took Zhen Yu. "Give me this too."

"Oh." Ming Linyuan watched as Su Yan twisted Xiao Qi in one hand and grabbed Zhen Yu in the other, silently mourning for Xiao Qi in his heart.

Once they were out of sight, Ming Linyuan said to Zi Qi with schadenfreude, "Your Majesty, Xiao Qi is doomed."

Ziqi glanced at him. "You should worry about yourself. News just came from the Dark Continent that Queheng Sha just stole two of your magic crystal mines."

"What? That bastard! The first time I met him, I could tell he didn't follow the rules. I didn't expect him to mess with me so quickly." Ming Linyuan rubbed his hands together, ready to leave immediately.

“You need to speak up for him.” Ziqi patted his shoulder.

"Thanks." Ming Linyuan left the Beast Emperor Palace.

……

Su Yan took Xiao Qi back to her bedchamber and dismissed the palace servants.

Looking at the real feather and then at Su Yan's composed expression, Xiao Qi panicked for a moment.

"Xiao Qi was wrong. She won't pull Uncle Ming's hair out again."

"...No one's can be pulled out."

"Hmm, Xiaoqi won't pull it out."

Su Yan put the real feather away. "This can only be used by Uncle Ming's child. Later, Mom will give it to Grandma Ming so she can decide who gets the real feather. Now let's talk about that scale."

Xiao Qi handed over the blue scales.

Su Yan held it in her hand; it was icy cold.

[Host, this is the heart-protecting scale of a pure-blooded deep-sea blue-blooded shark, capable of summoning the Shark God.]

Do the merfolk have gods?

[Like the angels, only one lives in water, and the other in the sky.]

Su Yan returned the Heart-Protecting Scale to Xiao Qi, "Want to know about your background?"

"Xiao Qi knows that Xiao Qi is not Father Emperor's biological child." Xiao Qi lowered her head, her little paws tightly gripping the heart-protecting scales.

Su Yan patted her head and said, "You're right. The person who gave you the scales is your biological father."

Xiao Qi raised her head, glanced at Su Yan, and then lowered her head again.

Su Yan saw the panic and fear in her eyes...

"Ten thousand years ago, he died when your mother was pregnant with you, and he didn't know you existed. Later, there was a person who looked exactly like him, that was his twin brother, named Rong Wu. Your biological father's name is Rong Ruo!"

“Rong Ruo?” Xiao Qi looked at Su Yan.

"He is a deep-sea blue shark, with the body of two beasts. On land, he is a land beast, and in the water, he is a merman. After your mother gave birth to you, it was not convenient for her to take care of you, so she entrusted you to your father, the Emperor. He treated you as his own son, and cared for you more than his other brothers and sisters, including Xiao Ba."

"Yes, Father is very good to me, exceptionally good, the best in the world, even better than Mother." Xiao Qi lowered her head again.

Su Yan chuckled and held her in her arms. "So, you've been anxious that your father will have to choose between you and your brothers because of bloodlines, right?"

Xiaoqi stopped talking.

Su Yan kissed Xiao Qi's forehead.

She had already figured it out. Ever since Xiao Qi was released from the insurance system and discovered that there was a little seventeen divine beast brother in the palace, she had been making a big show of herself and acting like the older sister in front of Xiao Ba and Xiao Shiqi.

Xiao Ba doesn't speak, but Xiao Jin listens to Xiao Qi very much, which shows that Xiao Ba is very obedient to Xiao Qi. As for Xiao Shiqi, needless to say, he'll do anything as long as he plays with him, and the siblings' nicknames are only one character different, so he also really likes Xiao Qi.
