Many descendants

Yu Yan arrived inside the hall.

Upon seeing him, Ziqi's heart sank slightly, and she said to Su Yan, "Rong Ruo has arrived."

"Who did you say?" Su Yan asked in surprise.

"I wanted to tell you last night..." Ziqi stopped abruptly.

Su Yan understood; she and Qing Linghuan had left last night.

After glancing at Qing Linghuan, who was drinking and exchanging toasts with Yin Zang, Pei Xuan, and others, Zi Qi said, "Guests are welcome, please come in."

"Mm." Zi Qi nodded to Yu Yan.

Yu Hao asked, "Who is Rong Ruo?"

“Xiao Qi’s father beast,” Su Yan replied, “the Beast King of the Southern District.”

"Oh." Yu Hao looked at Zi Qi. No wonder he was a little emotional today; he was probably afraid his daughter would be taken away.

Xiao Qi took a piece of dried meat and said to Xiao Ba, "I'll carry you around and say some auspicious words in a little while. If you get a treasure, will you share one with me? If you agree, you can eat this piece of dried meat. If you don't agree, you can't eat it."

Xiao Ba ate some dried meat.

Xiao Qi happily fed him another piece of sweet potato cake made by Uncle Xiang, "Is it delicious?"

Suddenly, Xiao Qi noticed something and looked towards the direction of the palace entrance.

A tall, elegant figure, dressed in a magnificent ice-blue robe with fish patterns and light gold accents, adorned with a pearl and feather crown and tassels hanging from his ears, entered the hall under Yu Yan's guidance.

Ziqi stepped forward with a smile, "It is an honor to have the Beast King of the Southern District grace us with his presence. I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision of mine, and I apologize for my presumptuous visit, Your Majesty." Rong Ruo bowed slightly.

"We're so happy to welcome you, this way please." Ziqi led Rongruo to Yinzang's table.

Yinzang also went to the Southern District to attend Rongruo's coronation ceremony. The two knew each other and, being both Beast Kings, were of similar status.

“The Southern Emperor is late, so he shall be punished with three cups of wine first,” Yin Zang said with a smile.

Rongruo raised his wine cup and said, "This is how we should drink and make merry. I'll drink first." He held the cup with great gusto, and his drinking movements were also very unrestrained and free.

Zong Sili looked at Rong Ruo, who was completely different from the person he remembered, and said to Ming Linyuan, "I met Rong Wu at the academy yesterday. He is going back to the academy to continue his unfinished studies."

“I also met that person on the Dark Continent, but he was completely different from this one,” Ming Linyuan replied.

"Which one does Yan Yan like?" Zong Sili asked.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jin glanced at Zong Sili, then at Rong Ruo... and remained silent.

Ming Linyuan said, "It's very simple. Yan Yan is fond of beautiful women, so it must be this one from the sea."

“That Xiao Qi…” Zong Sili realized a very serious problem.

“…” Ming Linyuan looked at Su Yan.

Su Yan appeared calm, seemingly unaware of Rong Ruo's arrival, and was warmly greeting the guests at the banquet.

When they arrived at the children's table, Su Yan clapped her hands and said, "Do you remember what your mother taught you a few days ago?"

"Remember--"

"Remember--"

"Remember--"

"Mother, I forgot—"

"I forgot too—"

"I forgot too—"

"Mother, I still remember a tiny bit—"

The children's joyful shouts rose and fell, eliciting laughter from everyone...

Su Yan had a headache; it was becoming increasingly difficult to get these little ones together to do anything.

The first one was naturally Xiao Hao. He walked up to Yu Hao with his head held high and circled around Yang Yang, Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Bei'er.

Finally, he cleared his throat and said, "Today is the full moon of Yangyang, Xiaoxiao, and Xiaobei'er, my little brothers and sisters. As the eldest brother, I will definitely protect you and shield you. If anyone dares to bully you, I will repay them tenfold or a hundredfold. You can happily grow up behind your eldest brother."

Su Yan listened to the words... it must have been improvised. But it was pretty good, very much like an older brother.

Yu Hao was deeply moved and gave Xiao Hao a small storage bag, saying, "The vines and roots are connected, and the branches are born from the same source. They will always be your younger brother and sister. Thank you, Xiao Hao."

"May the winds blow smoothly and bring you peace and health; may your life be extraordinary and your years long; may everything go as you wish and may you grow into something great through the years; wishing all the little brothers and sisters a happy full moon celebration." Yu Xuan read it out confidently, without missing a single word.

Su Yan nodded in satisfaction.

Yu Hao also rewarded her with a small storage bag, "Thank you, Yu Xuan, that's great, this is for you."

"May songs accompany you every day, and may blessings soar to the clouds. May immortals aid your healthy and handsome lives, and may mountains and seas accompany your wisdom and strength. Second sister wishes her younger brothers and sisters a safe and healthy full moon." Yu Shishi finished speaking as Su Yan had instructed.

Su Yan walked to her parents' table and said to Zulu, "Who gave birth to such a clever and bright child?"

Zulu handed her a sweet fruit and laughed, "It's you, aren't you smug?"

Su Yan took it, crunched a bite, and said, "Mmm."

"May your branches and leaves flourish for thousands of years, bringing good fortune; may your offspring unite for thousands of generations, bringing harmony and prosperity. Happy full moon to my little brothers and sisters." Fasse finished reciting as Su Yan had instructed and received a small storage bag.

Su Yan's gaze shifted to the eager-looking Manman, and her heart skipped a beat.

Ming Linyuan also took a deep breath and whispered, "My daughter, you must prove yourself."

Manman flew over and said to Yuhao, "May you accumulate good deeds year after year. Happy full moon to your little brothers and sisters."

Ming Linyuan downed a large glass by himself...

Su Yan sighed, but thankfully, the second half of the sentence was enough.

Yu Hao handed the small storage bag he had prepared to Manman, and Xin Yue smiled and said, "Thank you, Manman, this is for you."

Next up was Grape, who walked gracefully to Yu Hao. She first knelt on one knee and bowed to Yu Hao, then circled around Yang Yang, Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Bei'er.

Little Belle looked up at the grapes, and squeaked.

Yu Hao was somewhat surprised that Little Belle actually made a sound; it seemed she liked grapes.

Grape licked her back fur and said, "I only wish my younger brothers and sisters a smooth, peaceful, and joyful life."

Yu Hao patted his head and then put a small storage bag on his head. "Thank you, Grape. Uncle also wishes you a carefree life."

Su Yan smiled and said, "Grapes are the most well-behaved."

When the next hour came, Su Yan's smile faded a little, and she looked at Rong Ruo.

Ever since he arrived, he had been focusing his attention on Xiao Qi, and at this moment his gaze was also on Xiao Qi.

Little Seven, with her chubby figure, is holding Little Eight, who is round and plump.

Because Xiao Qi was so small, she could only see a golden egg with a small white tail, which instantly moved from the ground to in front of Yu Hao.

"Congratulations Uncle Yu on the birth of your son! May your little brothers and sisters soon join us in the monthly exams and get 100 points every time!" After saying this, Xiao Qi placed Xiao Ba between Yang Yang and Xiao Xiao, and then gave Xiao Bei'er, who was now a size smaller than her, a pat on the back for a while.

Yu Hao's smile deepened as he took out two small storage bags, one for Xiao Ba and one for Xiao Qi. "Xiao Qi's blessing is very much to my liking."

Ziqi couldn't help but chuckle as she stood by, but as she laughed, a hint of gloom appeared in her eyes.

After receiving the small storage bag, Xiao Qi did not return to her seat. Instead, she carried Xiao Ba and ran towards Zi Qi.

He then handed the small storage item he had just received to Ziqi, saying, "Father, this is for you."

Ziqi was surprised and picked up her and Xiao Ba, "Why?"

"I love Father the most." Little Seven climbed onto Zi Qi's head and stopped moving.

The gloom in Ziqi's eyes vanished instantly.
