Many descendants

[Rain! Jian said that the First Emperor was afraid of rainy days. And it never rains at the First Emperor's tomb, which is one of the reasons why the First Emperor never left this place.]

[Afraid of rain? He's the Ancestral Dragon! How could that be? Besides, the art of controlling clouds and rain is a fundamental skill that every water-type talent must master.]

That's what Jian said.

[That's a bit strange. Could something bad have happened on a rainy day in the past? Could that have caused him to develop a fear of rain?]

Xiaomei also felt that this wasn't a weakness, but rather a fear.

"If it's fear, then use his fear to lure him? Are we afraid of not dying fast enough?" Su Yan was speechless. "This Jian is so unreliable."

[However, the host can also make use of rainy days. Otherwise, given the current attitude of the Ancestral Dragon towards the host, apart from the children who might earn his favor, he probably wouldn't even remember what the host looks like.]

Su Yan nodded, stretched, and yawned, saying, "We'll talk about it later. I'm going back to sleep first. I'm taking the kids to Twin Peaks tomorrow."

Seeing that they wouldn't leave anytime soon, Yi gave them a map. Every mountain on the map had a name, and the spiritual spring lake they encountered was called—Qianlongtan (Hidden Dragon Beach).

In other words, that was just where Zu Long's great-grandfather took a bath! Such a large lake, just used for bathing, how big must his true form be?

However, her children also bathed there, enjoying the vast Dragon Marshland...

Su Yan went back to the villa where the baby girl lived to sleep. Lying in bed, she tossed and turned for a while before finally drifting off to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I found the sky covered with dark clouds!

Su Yan blinked, suddenly remembering what Xiao Mei had told her last night: Zu Long didn't like rain.

He quickly teleported away.

It was Little Thirteen who was creating clouds and rain in the sky, wanting to water the surrounding natural treasures. And Fal usually watered the flowers in the garden, also by having him do this.

"Come down quickly, put it away, put the rain cloud away right away," Su Yan shouted to Xiao Shisan.

But it was too late. An extremely ominous black cloud drifted towards them, accompanied by rolling thunder, as if it would cleave the heavens and earth in two.

Su Yan quickly summoned the children back to the system space.

She clenched her fists, staring nervously at the dark clouds... while the rain clouds that Little Thirteen had set up had already begun to rain.

Su Yan wanted to leave, but she was also reluctant to leave just like that.

He took an umbrella from his spatial ring, held it up, and stood in the rain, wanting to see what Zu Long was up to.

Little Thirteen's rain clouds didn't last long, and since they weren't sustained by any special technique, they quickly stopped. However, the dark clouds showed no sign of dissipating.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, a sudden and dramatic change.

Bolts of lightning descended densely from the sky, striking down towards Su Yan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Yan instantly turned into a guinea pig and teleported away... At this moment, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into immediately.

As luck would have it, there was a mouse hole right in front of them. I wonder which child dug it, and now it's a lucky break for her, the mother.

He slipped inside.

But the lightning seemed to have eyes, striking down towards her from above. She quickly used a divine-grade defensive armor to block it. However, her hind leg was still grazed by the residual force of the lightning, resulting in a bloody gash!

Su Yan teleported while wearing the defensive armor.

As for the wound, Xiaomei had already healed it without her having to say anything.

But she was still missing a patch of leg hair, making her skin look bald...

Ignoring her own rat legs, Su Yan hurriedly moved Xiaomi Qi out of the system space, saying, "Xiaomi Qi, go to the outside world immediately."

“Okay, Mother.” Xiao Miqi reacted quickly, without asking what had happened, and released her talent… Four doors appeared in the space.

Su Yan didn't have time to let Xiao Qi choose. She pushed open a door on her own instinct and rushed out with Xiao Miqi.

However, what I thought was the outside world turned out to be a return to Qianlongtan!

However, they also managed to escape the range of that dark cloud.

Su Yan knew something terrible was about to happen; Zu Long had no intention of letting them leave.

"Mom, what happened?" Xiaomiqi asked anxiously.

Su Yan replied, "It's alright, it seems to be... a heavenly tribulation, yes, a heavenly tribulation. Don't be afraid, your mother is here, your mother will protect you." With that, she put her into the system space.

No matter how amazing the children's talents are, in Su Yan's eyes they are just children. With her around, she will always be the one to take the lead and will never let the children rush ahead.

A female rat-like creature, entirely reddish-brown, greeted Su Yan, asking, "Which mountain are you from?"

Su Yan replied, "I'm from Twin Mountain."

"Hide quickly, the Dragon Lord is angry," the brown-red rat said to Su Yan.

"What's he angry about?" Su Yan asked.

The brown-red rat, named Momo, is a native rat species here. She happened to be passing by and, upon seeing the dragon's angry appearance, quickly hid.

"The Dragon Lord is averse to rain. Although the reason is unknown, all the clans within the Ancestral Dragon Tomb tacitly agree not to summon clouds and rain."

"..." Sure enough, Little Thirteen had unintentionally angered Yi. However, it now seems that this wasn't just a weakness of fear, but rather his Achilles' heel, his flashpoint.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Momo, I waved goodbye to her.

Su Yan found a place to hide and decided to avoid contact with Yi for the time being.

She instructed Xiaomei to arrange for the children to temporarily cultivate in the game world. She, in the form of a small mouse, with fur dyed the same color as Momo's, concealed the patch of leg hair on her hind legs that had been struck by lightning with her clothes, and slipped away in the mountains and forests.

She will not release the children from the system space for the time being.

As Xiaomei said, Yi remembered all of these children, but had no recollection of her at all.

Otherwise, she would have walked through the mountains for so long without seeing any signs of being followed.

Furthermore, to her surprise, her cultivation level was steadily improving.

Whether it was from being struck by lightning or not, she had unknowingly broken through her bottleneck and entered the next stage of her cultivation.

Little Bell misses Su Yan.

Su Yan then moved it out of her spatial storage. Little Bell was a Saint-level mouse, not a God-level one, so it had no divinity and shouldn't attract attention when it was with her.

"What's wrong, Little Bell?"

"Mother, everyone is worried and wants to know what happened. If there is any danger, they all want to help."

"There's no danger. Look for yourself. The surroundings are filled with birdsong, fragrant flowers, chirping insects, and fluttering butterflies. It's a peaceful scene, isn't it?"

"Then why can't everyone come out?"

"I'll explain to you in a while."

"Ok."

Su Yan put the little bell away.

She kept walking.

Suddenly, I felt the air around me getting a little cold.

She stopped and looked around... Sometime later, she came to the foot of a desolate mountain. The vegetation on the mountain was withered, and the only tree had no leaves yet!
