Many descendants

……

Dark clouds hung low in the sky, and bursts of lightning and thunder signaled an impending downpour.

Ziqi glanced out the window. "This rain won't be light."

Zong Sili replied, "The rainy season has arrived."

"Dad—my eighteenth brother has hatched!"

As Manman called out, she flew into the hall, carrying her younger brother, Little Eighteen, whom she had hatched herself, on her back. However, their fur was the same color, making it difficult to notice the other child on her back without close inspection…

Ming Linyuan held his teacup, but before he could swallow a mouthful of tea, he spat it out.

"Manman, what did you say?" Ming Linyuan looked behind her.

Nothing was seen.

Little Eighteen flapped its fluffy wings off Manman's back and flew towards Ming Linyuan, shouting, "Daddy—look how handsome I am!"

Ming Linyuan rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, looking at the familiar little cub in front of him... and then at the larger cub, Manman!

I'm speechless!

Ziqi smiled broadly, clearly delighted. "Congratulations! It's a joyous occasion that our little eighteen has hatched. Uncle has a gift for you."

A small storage bag was handed to Xiao Shiba.

Little Eighteen happily accepted it, "Thank you, Uncle Zi."

“Our little eighteenth is the most handsome! Look~” Zong Sili also gave one, unable to suppress his smile.

Only Ming Linyuan remained silent.

After a long while, seeing that Little Eighteen was looking at him, he took a deep breath and then smiled broadly, "Yes, Dad is very happy. Little Eighteen has grown up a lot again."

Su Yan led the other children into the hall. "It's starting to rain outside. It looks like a downpour."

"Yes, the rainy season is here. Yan Yan hasn't experienced the rainy season in the East District yet, has she?" Zi Qi looked at her children and called to Xiao Qi.

Little Seven teleported into his arms and presented the treasures, saying, "Father, we met Uncle Yu, and he gave us a lot of things."

Grape also took out all the gifts that Yu Hao had given him.

He opened a treasure box made of divine crystal. "Uncle Yu said that this contains a complete space-based cultivation technique that can be practiced all the way to ascending to the God Realm. There are also some rare and precious materials for cultivation, all in the storage bracelet inside."

Zong Sili was taken aback, then looked towards Ziqi.

He seemed surprised by what Xiao Qi had taken out.

Su Yan walked to Ming Linyuan's side and said with a smile, "Manman, you're not happy that you've hatched a younger brother who looks exactly like you?"

“No, I just wish he were more like you.” Ming Linyuan held the little boy in his arms. “He really looks exactly like me when I was a child.”

“Isn’t there a little eleven now? He looks like me.” Su Yan looked around; little eleven and little seventeen had run out to play.

As for Xiao Ba, it stayed steadily in its egg, while Xiao Jin suddenly left the eggshell and flew away.

"The old lady will definitely be happy," Ziqi said with a smile.

Madam Ming naturally hoped that Little Eighteen would grow up to be a phoenix. She even told Little Eighteen every day that she would be perfectly content if she grew up to be like Manman, and not like Little Eleven…

"Where are Xiao Hao and Xiao Fengning?" Zong Sili asked Su Yan.

Su Yan moved Xiao Fengning and Xiao Hao out of the system space, saying, "They're playing games."

The two brothers were engrossed in their game when they were suddenly interrupted and were taken aback.

Finally, Xiao Fengning hugged Su Yan's leg and said coquettishly, "Mom, can we finish fighting that ape monster?"

"Heh~ Alright." Su Yan put them back in. "Playing too many games can be addictive. You'll have to control it in the future."

“Indeed,” Zong Sili said. “I was getting a little out of control while playing, especially with that game pod.”

Su Yan looked at him and asked, "How do you feel? Has it helped with your cultivation? It has multiple modes, including training mode, challenge mode, and large-scale war mode."

"It has some auxiliary effect, but it is ultimately virtual. It is better to combine it with real combat training."

"Mm." Su Yan nodded.

Wen Jin has arrived.

He was holding an oil-paper umbrella.

Upon entering the hall, he first bowed halfway to Ziqi and greeted him with a smile, saying, "Your Majesty, this rain is quite heavy."

“Hmm.” Ziqi smiled. “You’ve come at just the right time. Yan Yan and the others just got back.”

Wen Jin replied, "I was also at the bookstore when I saw Xiao Jin flying in the air. I guess Yan Yan brought the children back."

He looked at Su Yan as he spoke.

But Su Yan ignored him and focused her gaze on a baby phoenix.

"I was just about to send you a message," Ming Linyuan called out. "Come and see, my youngest son has hatched."

"Oh?" Wen Jin looked at the little phoenix chick in his hand. It had grayish-brown downy feathers, was chubby, and had very beautiful eyes that sparkled with intelligence.

"She looks just like Manman."

"Fifth Uncle, do you think I'm handsome?" Little Eighteen flew towards Wen Jin.

"Handsome!" Wen Jin smiled and caught him. "Congratulations on our little eighteen hatching." She then gave him a small storage bag.

"Thank you, Fifth Uncle." After putting away the small storage bag, Little Eighteen flew to Little Eight's side and curled up to sleep.

Su Yan couldn't help but chuckle, "..." She's quite the little money-grubber too.

Ming Linyuan said to Wen Jin, "Your son is playing games; he won't be out for a while."

"No rush," Wen Jin replied, sitting down in the chair next to Ming Linyuan.

Su Yan remembered what Xiao Mei had said: Qing Linghuan went to the Asura Realm to find Wen Jin, wanting to get rid of Yu Hao...

He coughed softly, "Well, I think I should tell you about Yu Hao's matter."

Ziqi looked down at Xiaoqi in her palm, gently stroking her smooth, soft fur, watching her sleep peacefully in her hand.

"The child in my womb is crucial for helping the reproductive system reach the divine level. Moreover, the child's talent is far greater than I imagined. And the higher the talent, the more ingredients, that is, rare and precious materials, are needed. What I have is far from enough."

Su Yan paused and continued, "When I was pregnant with Xiao Fengning and Xiao Miqi, I emptied my savings of ten thousand years to barely give birth. During that time, eating was not eating at all. There was no enjoyment in the process. I just ate the ingredients and let Xiao Mei purify them for the fetus. Actually, I don't remember what I ate later. All I know is that my space warehouse was empty."

Ziqi understood Su Yan's meaning. "So, you want to keep Yuhao. But only for him to hunt and raise children, right?"

Su Yan nodded quickly, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."

Ziqi looked at Wen Jin.

Su Yan's words were meant for everyone, but she subtly mentioned only Xiao Fengning and Xiao Miqi. Since Fa'er wasn't there, only Wen Jin was mentioned.

Wen Jin must have done something to target Yu Hao.

Wen Jin stood up from the chair, walked to Su Yan, and handed her a spatial ring. "This was prepared when I found out you were pregnant with the child of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet."

Su Yan took it and examined it... It was full of all kinds of divine-grade natural treasures, including divine pills from ancient divine beasts.

"you!"

"Qing Linghuan found me before the God War began, wanting to kill Yu Hao, but I refused."

"...Where is Qing Linghuan now?"
