Many descendants

Zong Sili almost stood up as well, "Where did this bead come from?"

"It was... all for free." Su Yan really didn't want to think about that evil divine beast.

Each child received a small storage bag.

Overjoyed to receive the treasure, Xiao Qi fawned over Su Yan, rubbing against her and saying, "Mommy is so good to me! From now on, I'll only be with you, Mommy. You're my precious treasure. I wish you great wealth, windfall riches, wealth from all directions! I wish you a capable wife at home, and a beautiful wife and a wonderful husband!"

Su Yan quickly covered her mouth, "You're such a drama queen, there's no end to it."

Ziqi chuckled as she looked at Su Yan and Xiao Qi, "What's next?"

"No, there's nothing behind it." Su Yan was really being tricked by Xiao Mei, letting Xiao Qi play this for no reason.

Xiao Qi then asked Zi Qi, "Will Father give me a reward?"

Ziqi nodded. "Here you go."

"Little darling, don't you dare mess with your mother." Su Yan directly put her into the system space.

When Xiao Hao saw Xiao Qi enter the space, he raised his paw and said, "Mom, I want to go in and play games too."

Yu Xuan raised her hand: "Mother, I want to go too."

"I want to go too!" Manman raised her wings high.

Grape glanced at Zong Sili and held back.

Zong Sili chuckled and patted his head. "Go on, go home when you're done playing."

"Okay." Zong Sili also ran up to Su Yan.

Finally, besides the two egg babies, even Xiaomiqi went into the system space to play games.

Ziqi touched her eldest son, who was steadily evolving and clearly didn't want to hatch, and asked, "Yan Yan, what's in the distance?"

Su Yan: "...Nothing at all!"

……

A day is neither long nor short. Qing Linghuan held the sleeping little fourteen and little fifteen, her heart overflowing with joy.

He didn't want to send Su Yan back at all, but her summoning of offspring was too domineering, and he simply couldn't do anything about it.

As darkness fell, Qing Linghuan gritted her teeth and led the children back into the God Realm.

[Host, Little Fourteen and Little Fifteen have left Nine Gods Mountain and headed to the God Realm.]

【Um. 】

[Won't the host summon them?]

Qing Linghuan has lost three tails.

[The last two points were due to Wen Jin's scheming against him. Appearances can be deceiving; she looked like a cold beauty, but her attacks were ruthless and deadly.]

Wen Jin is the ruler of the Asura Realm. What kind of place is the Asura Realm? It's full of evil divine beasts. For him to become their king, it's safe to assume he's no benevolent being. But he's genuinely good to Xiao Fengning. Because of his maternal love, he's thinking long-term for him, eliminating threats—that's understandable. I just didn't expect Qing Linghuan to possess the Chaos Fire Seed.

[Host, shall we have Xiaomei scan the data of the Chaos Fire Seed?]

"As long as you can open that box, you can scan it or eat it as you please." Qing Linghuan also had a backup plan; the box was heavily sealed and not so easy to open.

Okay, Xiaomei will start unblocking it now.

Su Yan stood with her hands behind her back, gazing up at the endless starry sky. She had once wandered among these starry worlds, lonely and desolate. If it weren't for Xiao Mei and the children, she didn't know if she could have survived.

The host of 000 said she sublimated because of boredom. She could understand; if one day everyone around her left, would she be able to live alone, with no one to hold her back…?

Zong Sili brought over a cloak and draped it over her slightly thin back. "It's chilly at night, take care of yourself."

Su Yan turned around and hugged him. "This is how you feel warm."

Zong Sili's ears turned slightly red. "Child, the child is not asleep yet."

"...Why aren't you asleep yet?" Su Yan asked coquettishly.

“His grandfather played word puzzles with him, and there’s also that ingenious jigsaw puzzle you brought back.”

"I didn't expect the toy I bought with our pooled money to be so popular." Su Yan said, suddenly remembering the animal the shopkeeper said she bought was a lynx cub.

She later threw it into the storage bag of the creature and forgot about it.

"I forgot a little thing. Since you're well-read, see if you recognize it?" Su Yan took the cage out of her storage bag.

The little guy was sleeping when the environment suddenly changed, and he was confused for a moment.

Zong Sili looked at the dark-skinned little guy and said, "At first glance, I thought Xiao Hao had locked you up."

"No way! Xiao Hao has thick legs and a big head, he's much bigger. And if I dared to lock Xiao Hao up, Pei Xuan would be the first to punish me."

"Speaking of Pei Xuan, he recently signed some kind of contract with the North District, planning to build an ice and snow city in the North District."

"I was the one who told him that. There are places in the northern area with stable weather, so we can develop the unique features of both sides and promote cultural tourism."

Originally, His Majesty intended to handle this matter for me. But as you know, later on, we were hit with a birth virus, and we were overwhelmed with work.

Pei Xuan was a bit free, and he often took his son for aimless wanderings in the beast forest. So, this task was assigned to him.

"If you need anything next time, you can let me help you."

"Okay. By the way, do you recognize this?"

"The Crescent Moon Cat is a kind of spirit beast. It looks fierce, but it's actually very gentle. Let it be Grape's playmate."

Will he like it?

"He always envied Manman's three-headed dog."

Su Yan watched as Zong Sili used the profound mysteries of water to clean the Xuan Yue Cat's body.

The little guy squatted obediently on the ground, looking at Zong Sili, being incredibly well-behaved.

Su Yan laughed and said, "I think it has its eye on you."

“That’s just its personality; it’s perfect as a pet.” Zong Sili took the Crimson Moon Cat out of the cage. “I’ll go show it to my father and let him observe it further.”

"Go ahead." Su Yan watched him leave with the Xuan Yue cat in his arms.

Every time she came to Zong Sili's place, she felt at ease and content. It was good enough to be able to chat with Zong Sili.

"Yan Yan, this is a painting by Grape." Zong Sili handed a painting to Su Yan.

It was her; her gentle demeanor was perfectly captured, so tender and beautiful.

"Am I that good-looking?" Su Yan examined the painting closely, even placing it against her own face for Zong Sili to compare.

"Yan Yan is even better than the painting."

"You're not just trying to make me happy, are you?" She still thought the painting was prettier.

Zong Sili pulled her into his arms, saying, "You've done very well."

"..." Su Yan put the painting away, relaxed her body, and let him hold her. "If it weren't for the children, would you still be by my side? If it weren't for the children, you should be cultivating on your own now, and you would be more free."

"No, our cultivation can be seen to its end at a glance. But for you, children, what may be a joyful encounter is a future we cannot reach."

“Sometimes I’m conflicted. I’m afraid they’ll be bullied if they’re not talented enough, but I’m also afraid they’ll be too talented and too far away from me.”

"On the contrary, we are afraid that you are too far away from us."

“Me?” Su Yan looked up at him.

“When you went on your mission, during the period of the killing virus, I met His Majesty once. He said, ‘We can’t keep you here. But every extra day we can keep you is a bonus.’”

“Li, if I can leave, I have the ability to come back,” Su Yan said solemnly.

Zong Sili looked at her and remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Su Yan raised her hand to touch her face.

"Yan Yan, these are the most beautiful words you've ever said." Zong Sili picked her up and carried her back to the room, which had been soundproofed long ago.
