Many descendants

After receiving Fal's message talisman, Su Yan immediately said to Xiao Mei: "Xiao Mei, summon Xiao Zhaozhao back."

"Yes, host," Xiaomei replied.

A short while later, a light blue mouse appeared in the system space.

Su Yan moved her out and handed her over to Wen Jin.

After carefully examining Xiao Zhaozhao and confirming that there were no external injuries, Wen Jin sternly rebuked, "Where did you run off to?"

Little Zhao Zhao replied tearfully, "Two bad guys kidnapped me and took a really pretty thing out of my head! Daddy, will I become ugly?"

"What!?" Wen Jin immediately channeled a wisp of magic into Xiao Zhaozhao's body...

Su Yan already knew from Xiao Mei that the fragments of demonic laws within Xiao Zhaozhao's body had been stolen!

[Xiao Mei, go back in time.] The voice was filled with anger.

Seeing that Su Yan's expression was not good, Wen Jin hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Zhaozhao?" He used his magic but couldn't find anything.

Su Yan replied, "My talent was stolen!"

"What?!" Wen Jin was immediately stunned. "Who?"

Two blurry figures appeared in the video, clearly not wanting to be identified. One of them grabbed Xiao Zhaozhao and used magic to immobilize her.

Another figure placed a finger on Xiao Zhaozhao's forehead, and soon a ball of energy radiating seven-colored light was pulled out from Xiao Zhaozhao's forehead and eaten by that figure!

Once Xiao Zhaozhao could move again, she immediately took out various talismans from her small storage bag and attacked the two figures.

The figure who had eaten the ball of air turned around and tried to kill Xiao Zhaozhao.

But he was stopped by another person, who quickly led him away.

Xiao Zhaozhao screamed angrily. Although she didn't know what was missing, it must be something very important.

Soon, Xiao Zhaozhao was summoned back by Su Yan.

Su Yan instructed Xiao Mei to focus her attention on the two blurry figures, hoping to make them clearer or identify them by any distinctive features.

Xiao Mei quickly told Su Yan, "Host, if you want more clues, you need to go to the place where Xiao Zhaozhao was robbed and look for any traces. Some things in the video are still unclear. Also, Xiao Zhaozhao released so many talismans later; the attackers were initially careless, so they might have had some clothes torn off by those talismans, or even a single hair, which could be traced back to its owner."

Su Yan patted Xiao Zhaozhao's head, "Don't worry, my daughter, I will definitely get back what you lost."

“They are either demon gods or demon ancestors, and only they can directly consume the laws of the demonic path,” Wen Jin said to Su Yan.

"I don't care who he is, it's unacceptable for him to take my child's things!" Su Yan's eyes were firm, filled with barely suppressed anger.

Wen Jin handed Xiao Zhaozhao to Su Yan, saying, "You take her with you, I'm going to the Demon Realm to find the Demon God."

"Okay." Su Yan took Xiao Zhao Zhao from her. "Come on, let's go catch the robbers with Mommy!"

Xiao Zhaozhao nodded emphatically, "That pretty thing belongs to Xiao Zhaozhao!"

"My darling silly girl, that's your talent." Su Yan put her into the system space, then kissed Wen Jin. "I'll take her there to find clues. Be careful yourself. If it's a demon god, it might target you."

"I'm afraid he won't come." Wen Jin clenched her fists, a cold glint flashing quickly in the depths of her eyes.

……

The place where Xiao Zhaozhao's talent was stolen was a precipitous, secluded, and towering canyon in the Western Immortal Realm. On a broken boulder, the words "God's Ash Valley" were carved.

It was midnight, and the valley of Gods' Ashes was eerily quiet and chilling, with very little spiritual energy.

Unlike Mount Jiushen, there are insects chirping at night, and countless stars hanging low in the sky, seemingly within reach. The spiritual energy is so rich that it can be transformed into flowing spiritual springs.

Following the map Xiao Mei gave her, Su Yan arrived at a desolate ruin. There were traces of lightning strikes and fire, as well as patches of flowers and plants damaged by freezing magic, and protruding spikes...

It seems that Xiao Zhaozhao is also furious, and she's throwing out whatever she can find.

[Xiao Mei? Can you find anything?] Su Yan also opened the system map and examined it inch by inch.

"Since the other party is hiding themselves, they must know the host, and may even be afraid of offending the host," Xiao Mei said to Su Yan.

Su Yan picked up a charred, blackened piece of stone. [You mean, the other party knew Xiao Zhaozhao was my child, but still did it?]

[Yes. But the Demon Ancestor and the Demon God don't know the host, nor have they ever seen the host, so there's probably no need for them to be there.]

So, one of these two people is someone I know.

【Probably. 】

It's not just a possibility, it's definitely true.

Of all the people I know, who knows the Demon Ancestor?

[Quite a few. There are several beastmen alone: ​​Yu Hao, Qing Linghuan, Jian, Wen Jin, the host's master, whom the Ancestral Dragon should also know, as well as the ancestor of the Primordial Qilin, the old patriarch of the Deer-Shu Clan, the angel of the Sea God Clan, the patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan, and the patriarch of the Azure Dragon Clan.]

"...Hold on, I actually have quite a wide network of connections."

[This is only because the host was lazy and stayed indoors; otherwise, he could have met even more. Xiao Mei could have selected more males for the host.]

No! I don't want to find anyone right now; I can't even take care of the people around me.

[The host can abandon them all, how can they give up the whole forest for a few trees? That's too much of a loss!]

[Stop, stop, stop! This is getting more and more rambling. Have you found any clues at all?]

"It's in the host's hands," Xiao Mei said to Su Yan.

Su Yan was taken aback. She looked down at the stone shard in her hand, rubbing off the burnt ash to reveal a white chalcedony riddled with cracks inside. "What is this?"

"It's just ordinary jade," Xiaomei replied.

Su Yan looked around at the surroundings; there were rubble everywhere. "What's so strange about that?"

Xiao Mei replied: "Its texture is completely different from the stone in God's Ash Valley. It's precisely because it's different that it's more suspicious. Should the host trace it back to its source?"

【Hmm.】 Su Yan looked at the broken jade marrow in her hand. The remaining fire elemental power on it should be Manman's Phoenix True Fire.

Shortly after, a video appeared in the air.

First, there was a piece of stone… [Xiaomei, can we make it even older? Starting from its formation.]

The video immediately sped up until a bright yellow figure flashed by, at which point Su Yan asked Xiao Mei to pause it.

【Chu Duo?】 Su Yan looked at the person in surprise. There was a compassionate red mole on his forehead, making it impossible to mistake him.

He was holding a jade pendant shaped like a white mouse in his hand!

Su Yan suddenly realized, "[It really is someone I know, Zu Long!]"

The video has been slowed down.

Chu Duo frequently handled the rat-shaped jade pendant, wearing it constantly—while eating, sleeping, attending court, reviewing memorials, and even when visiting his concubines…

[Pervert!] Su Yan rubbed her eyes. She wasn't stupid; how could she not understand what Chu Duo meant?

Xiao Mei chuckled and said, "If the host were to go to Zu Long now and ask to have a child with him, would he still refuse?"

"I must be out of my mind to go looking for him!" Su Yan snapped.

The host will definitely go looking for it.

【…Xiao Mei!】

[Settle accounts with him!]

Su Yan snorted. "Keep playing the video. I want to see who the other person is."
