Many descendants

"Where is it?" Su Yan asked.

"It's the Insect King Cave up ahead," the man said to Su Yan.

[Host, there is no Insect Queen there. The Insect Queen that Xiaomei scanned is hiding in the root hole of the World Tree.]

【Hmm.】 Su Yan naturally didn't doubt what Xiao Mei said, and then her gaze towards the man took on a strange tinge.

The man led Su Yan to the Insect King Cave.

There are also insect-like beasts guarding this place.

However, when they saw the man, their eyes showed great disdain, but when they looked at Su Yan, they seemed to see food and revealed greed.

Su Yan asked the man, "Are you sure the Empress is here?"

"Yes, what is your surname?" the man asked Su Yan.

Su Yan replied, "Warm."

"Is Ms. Wen also pregnant?" the man continued, leading her into a cave.

"Also? Who else is pregnant...?" Su Yan nodded calmly, "Yes, she's about to give birth."

The little insect-man suddenly cried.

The man hurriedly said to Su Yan, "Ms. Wen, please wait here for a moment. I'll get the child something to eat first."

"Oh." Su Yan looked to see what he was about to do.

But as soon as the man stepped out of the cave, an iron gate crackling with electric sparks blocked the entrance.

“Ms. Wen, this place is specially prepared for you people with superpowers. Just wait for the Queen to return and devour you piece by piece.” The man’s face turned ferocious and sinister.

Su Yan looked at him calmly, "Since that's the case, and I'm already a prisoner anyway, why don't you tell me who you really are? Is the child in your arms really yours?"

"He's mine, born of the Empress. You just wait to become food, and who knows, the Empress might even give birth to another son for me!"

"To have another son, Zichen?"

"The Blazing Insect King is my son. As for this one, he's a piece of trash. He was originally going to be executed, but that maid secretly raised him, and he's going to die anyway!"

After saying that, the man twisted off the little insect-man's head, severing its life force.

"Even tigers don't eat their cubs, you're worse than an animal!" Su Yan frowned, and with a wave of her hand, she unleashed a divine strike that severed the electrical panel. The shattered panel then sliced ​​the man's head off!

Take the little insect-man back from the man's headless corpse.

Su Yan sighed and used a fire talisman to send him away, saying, "May you be reborn in a good place in your next life."

[Host, should we release the children again? They're eager to fight monsters.]

"...Heh, they're really getting excited. Are you sure there's nothing dangerous or unclean here?"

No, there's another treasure cave at the very back.

Su Yan moved the children, who were jumping around anxiously in the system space, out of the system space again.

Then he clapped his hands and said, "Alright, our mission today is to occupy the Insect King Cave and take the treasure inside."

"Good!" the little cubs shouted in unison.

“Let’s go!” Su Yan said with a smile.

The group of cubs immediately scattered to kill the insect beasts.

Su Yan strolled leisurely towards the treasure cave.

I occasionally glanced at the structure of this Insect King's Cave; it was winding and labyrinthine.

[Yes, host. Xiaomei has decided to develop a game map for the Insect King Cave.]

[…That's good. We'll make it a little more complicated later, otherwise these kids will already know how to do it.]

[It's okay for Xiaohao and the others to play with; they don't know what it is.]

I'm starting to miss them. Shall we go back after we finish this mission?

【Good host. 】

Su Yan fully opened the system map and watched the little guys kill insect beasts everywhere.

Little Dot and Little Belle used defensive talismans to protect themselves, and wherever they went, fire followed. The insects and beasts that came into contact with the fire were basically burned to ashes, unable to even utter a scream.

[Two arsonists!] Su Yan couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Mei said, "Huh? Host, why don't you go into the cave ahead and take a look?"

Su Yan went along with what she said.

She was originally going to come here too, because this place was completely black on the map, so there must be something special about it.

Xiaomi Qi has also arrived here.

Seeing Su Yan there, the little girl stretched out both hands, "Mother, I killed ten monsters."

"Great job, Xiao Miqi!" Su Yan praised.

The little girl asked smugly, "Are there any monsters in here?"

Su Yan replied, "Shall we go take a look together? It's quite dark inside. Mother, take a fire talisman."

"No need." Xiao Miqi took out an oil lamp from her small storage bag.

Su Yan looked at the oil lamp, which seemed somewhat familiar. "Huh? Isn't this your grandmaster's?"

"Yes, Mother, I found it in the storage room of the system space."

"..." Well, this little girl started stuffing all her things into her own pockets.

"I'll just use it for a bit, and I'll put it back when I'm done," Xiao Miqi replied. "Auntie Xiaomei knows."

"Next time you have to tell your mother that you can't take things without asking, okay?" Su Yan patted her head. Because of her extraordinary talent, she could go anywhere without any hindrance, but she couldn't quite distinguish where she could go and where she couldn't go.

"Yes, from now on, I'll ask about anything that isn't mine." Xiaomiqi nodded.

"Good girl~" Su Yan took the oil lamp and wiped it clean.

Qing's voice came from inside, "Disciple misses Master?"

"...No, I was just using the Chaos Light," Su Yan replied. "By the way, Master, where are you now? What are you doing?"

"Master is sending the Heavenly God to the Original Realm at the Ancestral Dragon Tomb. He will play a game of chess with Elder Heng in a little while."

"Oh? The Celestial God is going to the Primordial Realm?"

"He's always wanted to go, but that place is really boring."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What Master finds uninteresting may be a paradise in the eyes of others."

"Indeed, where is my disciple?"

Su Yan looked at Xiaomi Qi and replied, "I'm doing a system mission, and I'm currently on Insect King Star in the Atena Galaxy."

Do you have any local specialties?

"Our specialty is insects, all kinds of insects."

"Sure, bring one back for Master to study."

"If there are suitable insect eggs, I will bring one back to my master."

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, it's me, Xiaomi Qi. I've missed you so much! Have you missed me too?" Xiaomi Qi asked with a grin as she leaned closer to the lamp.

Qing laughed heartily, "I'll give this lamp to Xiaomi Qi from now on, so she can chat with her grandmaster when she has nothing to do."

"Mother, did you hear what Grandmaster said?" Xiao Miqi looked at Su Yan with a smile.

"You little rascal who got the better deal," Su Yan laughed. "I heard that. From now on, this Chaos Light is yours."

"Thank you, Mother," Xiaomiqi said happily.

Su Yan patted her head, "You're welcome~"

Then he said to Qing, "Master, you go about your business. We'll continue our adventure. Please give our regards to Ancestor Heng."

"Alright, you guys have fun." Qing severed the spiritual connection.

Su Yan and Xiao Mei continued walking into the cave.

There was no place that the chaotic light couldn't illuminate. Therefore, everything inside the cave gradually came into view for Su Yan and Xiao Miqi.

A mountain of white bones! Some were human, and some were those of other animals!

"Wow—" exclaimed Xiao Miqi, "So many bones!"

Su Yan's attention was focused on the area around the bone, where there was a thin layer of dark gray mist. This must be what was affecting Xiao Mei's scan.

[Xiaomei, what is this?]

[It's still unclear; the data it's displaying is unknown. Should the host put it away?]

【it is good. 】

Su Yan took out a gourd-shaped storage artifact from her spatial ring and began collecting the dark gray mist.
