Many descendants

Qing Linghuan suddenly remembered something and said to Zulu, "There's a kid here who always gets full marks, named Grape. Find his test papers and grade them according to his answers."

“He’s Elder Zong’s grandson, there’s no doubt about it.” Zulu picked out Grape’s paper and walked away with high spirits.

Qing Linghuan led the children into the spirit beast forest again to chase after spirit beasts and dig for spirit materials.

The portal can take you directly to Mount Jiushen without being blocked by the defensive barrier.

Wen Jin emerged from the portal and gently wiped the corner of her lip that Su Yan had bitten.

Su Yan blushed slightly, "I...I'll go find the children."

Wen Jin replied, "Yan Yan! If you treat me like that again, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Really? What are you going to do about it?" With that, Su Yan sneakily kissed him on the lips again, and then ran away...

Wen Jin's eyes widened slightly, "..."

"Huanhuan~ I'm back—" Su Yan saw a huge, elegant and noble nine-tailed celestial fox flying in the air with a group of cubs on its back from afar.

Hearing Su Yan's shout, Qing Linghuan stopped. "Why did you take so long? And there's an unfamiliar mark on you now."

In front of the children, Qing Linghuan finally gave her face and didn't lose her temper on the spot.

Su Yan quickly tried to appease her, saying, "I'll tell you later. How did the children do on their monthly exams?"

"Zulu is grading papers."

“Him? I’ll go see him.” Su Yan said, kissing each of the little cubs one by one, and finally picking up Xiao Fengning. “Say goodbye to your older brothers and sisters.”

"Mother, is it my father who has come?" Xiao Fengning asked.

Su Yan nodded, "Yes, he'll take you back."

"But I don't want to go back." Xiao Fengning nudged Su Yan. "Mom, go tell Dad I want to play for a few more days."

Su Yan patted his head. "Okay."

Then he patted Qing Linghuan's snow-white fox fur and said, "I'm going to check the exam papers. You take care of them and play for a while."

"Go on." Qing Linghuan continued to fly through the air with the cubs.

Su Yan teleported away.

Wen Jin was still waiting to pick up the child when she saw Su Yan return on her own. She asked, "Where's my son?"

“Your son won’t leave; he wants to stay and play here. Do you want to leave first, and I’ll take him home after everyone leaves, or do you want to wait here?”

"I have to go back to the Asura Realm, so just send the child back." Wen Jin said helplessly. The children all liked to play in groups, and he was indeed a bit lonely with just one child. Thinking of this, his eyes glanced at Su Yan's belly…

Su Yan didn't notice his gaze. "Yes, thank you for your hard work on the trip to the South District. I'll come to you again if I need anything in the future."

"Please spare me," Wen Jin sighed and left Jiushen Mountain.

Su Yan went to find Zulu.

Seeing him sweating profusely from his busy work, I found it quite amusing. "Hey~ is it really that difficult?"

"The main problem is that I don't recognize the characters on them." When Zulu saw her return, he immediately put down his vermilion pen and handed over the task of grading papers back to Su Yan.

Su Yan picked up the test paper and looked at it. It was written in Earth language. "Uh! I picked up the wrong test paper. Let's take it again."

Zulu's eyes widened immediately. "Still...still taking the test?"

“Yes, there’s no way they could get this right.” Su Yan picked up Grape’s test paper. “Huh? Grape did get half of it right. Did Zong Sili teach him an Earth language?”

"We'll have to retake the exam." Su Yan put away all the exam papers.

Zulu immediately went out to inform them... of the bad news!

Sure enough, upon hearing that she had to retake the exam, Qing Linghuan flew back immediately and berated Su Yan, "Su Yan, Milut!"

"Yes!" Su Yan was startled.

"Did you give me the test paper?"

"Yes."

"The wrong test paper was given out, isn't that your problem too?"

"……Yes."

"It took the children a whole day to finish writing!"

"...That must have been really tough." I don't know how I managed to read all day while staring at unfamiliar characters.

“If you ask me, every child should get full marks!” Qing Linghuan said.

Immediately, the little cubs on his back began to cheer—

"Uncle Qing is mighty!"

"Uncle Qing is so awesome!"

"Uncle Qing, you are our god—"

"Uncle Qing, you're like my own father—"

Who shouted? Qing Linghuan immediately looked over.

“Uncle Qing, you are also my father—” Little Fifteen shouted after him.

So they were his own two children, then he really was their biological father!

"Uncle Qing, I love you the most!" Xiao Miqi shouted, "I love you even more than my father!"

Qing Linghuan twitched her ears, cleared her throat, and said in an exceptionally gentle voice, "Xiao Miqi is the best talker. Talk more in the future, your uncle loves to hear it."

"Uncle Qing, we'll all have to take the monthly exams at Jiushen Mountain from now on—" Manman shouted.

Qing Linghuan nodded, "You'll live here from now on. Uncle will take you to the God Realm later to play with Little Twelve."

"I want to go too!" Xiao Shi shouted.

"I'm going too!" Xiao Hao shouted.

Others joined in the chanting.

“Go, all of you go!” Qing Linghuan readily agreed.

……

Su Yan looked at Zulu.

Zulu immediately stood up straight. "Hey Yan Yan, how about we just leave this monthly exam like this, no reward or punishment?"

“We’ve both worked really hard, how about we each get a half-month bonus?” Qing Linghuan demanded an exorbitant amount from Su Yan.

Having just returned from a satisfying meal in the South District, Su Yan said with a sullen face, "Dream on!"

If we don't want a retake, then we'll just grade this exam paper again.

Apart from the grapes, which barely passed, the rest were terrible, especially the last few small ones, which were all drawn like little figures and wouldn't even deserve a passing grade for neatness.

Ugh!

After playing for a few more days, Su Yan returned the test paper and the child together.

In the end, only Zulu and the three little ones were left.

Su Yan said to Zulu, "The Divine Beast Academy is currently on rainy season break, and there's still more than a month before school starts. Are you staying at Nine Gods Mountain, or are you coming back to the Beast Emperor Capital with me? I still need to discuss the Time Sand Beast with Zi Qi."

Qing Linghuan said, "Let him cultivate here. I think his foundation is average, and he needs a good spiritual mountain and blessed land. I will help Yuxuan and Shishi cleanse their meridians and marrow to help them enter the spiritual realm as soon as possible."

"Okay, then thank you Huanhuan~" Su Yan hugged him and gave him another kiss.

Qing Linghuan transformed into a little squirrel, looking completely blissful.

Zulu smiled as he watched them, not that he was indifferent. He simply knew that Yan Yan couldn't belong to him alone. Besides, he needed to cultivate and couldn't always be with her. It was a good thing that she had a beastman who liked her, and whom she liked in return.

During their time together, Qing Linghuan seemed aloof, but in reality, she was very kind-hearted and helpful, especially to him. The three children also had a good relationship with him.

Little Fourteen and Little Fifteen immediately turned into little squirrels, only smaller and cuter.

Su Yan held the three of them in her arms, liking them more and more as she looked at them.

"The supernatural powers of the Celestial Fox Clan are truly formidable," Zulu exclaimed.

Su Yan handed the two little squirrels to Zulu, saying, "No one would guess that their true forms are nine-tailed celestial foxes."

"No, I can't hold on any longer." Little Fifteen transformed back into its Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox form with a 'bang'.

Little Fourteen also changed back to his original form.

Qing Linghuan said, "Cultivate diligently."

"Yes, Father," Little Fourteen replied.

The five little cubs skipped and hopped away.

Su Yan stayed at Tianhu Mountain for two more days before returning to the Beast King Capital.

She went back to Wanfang Hostel first.

Bai Kaixin told her that recently, thousands of people had disappeared from the Beast King Capital for no apparent reason!
