Many descendants

Xiao Xianzi and Bai Kaixin went to the Dongfang residence together to send Dongfang Yan back.

Su Yan was organizing the accounts in the hostel lobby when she suddenly realized that Manman in the system space had woken up.

This little guy digests the Beast Nurturing Pill quite quickly.

She was released from the system space.

In just over half a day, Manman has grown quite a bit, now about the size of a quail, with a golden crest on her head.

Su Yan looked at the crest of feathers and couldn't help but chuckle, "So silly."

"Chirp~" Manman chirped first, then asked in a childish voice, "What did Mommy say?"

Su Yan knew that the Beast Nurturing Pill had successfully enhanced her talent, since she could now speak human language.

"It's nothing, Mom is very happy that you can talk." Su Yan stroked the golden ahoge on her head.

Manman gently pecked Su Yan's finger, "Mom, where did Dad go?"

"Your father..." Su Yan thought that when she fired at the phantom beast, Zong Sili must have heard the sound, and with his speed, he should arrive soon.

"Killing bad guys."

What is a bad guy?

“It’s the Phantom Beast.” Su Yan lovingly picked up Manman. “My precious little darling, no one can bully you without paying a price, or even a terrible one.”

"So what do I have to pay for losing my daughter?" The man, who had been standing at the entrance of the hostel for who knows how long, spoke in a hoarse voice, full of sorrow and regret.

Su Yan held Manman in her arms and kissed her ahoge (cowlick). "Sweetie, how about we go back to sleep for a while?"

Manman chirped, trying to turn her head to see who it was, but Su Yan directly put it into the system space.

Su Yan picked up the registration book on the table. "Are there any guests staying here?"

“…Accommodation.” Ming Linyuan walked to the counter, staring straight at her as if trying to see into her heart. “You were clearly dead, how did you come back to life? And what about this daughter? But you were pregnant with another child back then? I heard that some females in the rat tribe have double uteruses, one uterus for pregnancy and the other for storing male sperm. Did you have double uteruses and get pregnant with two children at once?”

The barrage of questions left Su Yan completely bewildered.

She raised her eyes and carefully examined the tall, slender young man in front of her, dressed in black.

His condition was far from good; his long, frizzy silver hair looked like it hadn't been styled in ages and was all tangled up.

His unshaven face, his sharply angled jaw, and his silver eyes, though dimmed considerably, still shone with a unique, magnificent nobility.

It is easy to imagine that, in her prime, she would be an exceptionally beautiful woman, a rare sight in the world.

She looked him up and down again, a smile that didn't reach her eyes curving her lips, making her appear somewhat indifferent, a chilling coldness, yet exuding a charming and alluring air.

Ming Linyuan, who had once sought pleasure with her every night, was bewitched by her alluring appearance and his thoughts were in complete disarray.

"Sorry, we're fully booked." Su Yan suddenly composed herself and coldly closed the registration book.

……

Bai Kaixin returned with a lot of gifts from the Eastern Prefecture.

Dongfang Yan woke up upon arriving at the Dongfang residence. She had no recollection of what had happened before, suffering from intermittent amnesia.

To protect Dongfang Yan's reputation, the Dongfang family paid Bai Kaixin a considerable sum of hush money.

Bai Kaixin was happy to accept it.

Seeing a disheveled man standing at the door, seemingly hesitant to go in, Bai Kaixin politely asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xiao Xianzi was also carrying quite a few things. When she saw the man, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "You're here to apply for a job, right?"

Bai Kaixin suddenly realized, "Right, right, I forgot. I posted a job advertisement yesterday, but it disappeared this morning. Are you here to apply?"

Ming Linyuan looked at the two of them, then at the inn, and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm Bai Kaixin, a partner at Wanfang Hostel. I'm in charge of the entire hostel's operations, including the front desk and room arrangements. This guy is Xiao Xianzi; he's in charge of the hostel's food and cleaning, and basically does everything. What are your skills?"

“…Cooking.” Ming Linyuan hesitated for a moment before replying.

"The cook, huh?" Bai Kaixin and Xiao Xianzi exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter.

“Great! Our inn is just missing a head chef. Come with me.” Bai Kaixin immediately led Ming Linyuan into the inn.

Su Yan has now returned to the small building in the backyard to rest.

Pregnancy makes one's body easily tired, and seeing Ming Linyuan only worsened my mood.

She originally thought that if she saw him again, she could at least talk to him calmly, as if they were strangers she knew.

In fact, this person still affected her emotions.

Having been so close, how could we possibly pretend nothing ever happened?

[The host has exhibited abnormal emotional fluctuations. Immediately initiate the clearing of the emotional cache.] Xiao Mei issued an irresistible, absolute command.

Soon, Su Yan calmed down. Even if the Illusionary Demon Beast were right in front of her, it probably wouldn't cause any disturbance.

"Well done, Xiaomei." Su Yan sighed wistfully, then closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep, entering a deep sleep in no time.

……

The next morning, Su Yan got up and washed up.

After finishing the last section of the nine-petaled lotus root, I decided to go to the Tianyuan Beast Forest to find some rare and precious herbs on my own.

If Zong Sili were here, she would naturally have told him to find something to eat. But now he's busy with the Phantom Beasts, so he should handle this little problem himself.

Bai Kaixin arrived carrying the food.

"Sister Su, the new chef's cooking is excellent. Would you like to try some?"

"No need, I'm going out today, so I'll leave the hostel to you."

"Okay, don't worry, Sister Su."

Bai Kaixin took the food and left again.

Ming Linyuan changed his face to an ordinary one, even his silver hair and eyes turned amber, making him look very inconspicuous.

Seeing Bai Kaixin return with the food, her heart tightened. "What's wrong? Is it not good?"

"No, no, Sister Su hasn't had much of an appetite lately. She'll be leaving soon, probably going to the academy, so don't worry about her."

Bai Kaixin started eating, praising the food as she ate, "It's so delicious! Where did you learn to cook like this?"

Ming Linyuan did not answer, but his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the backyard.

"Chirp~ Chirp~" Manman fluttered her fluffy little wings and flew shakily in the air.

Su Yan nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, that's right, Manman flew very well. You are a phoenix, destined to dominate the airspace in the future. You must not allow outsiders to invade, so you must start practicing flying as soon as possible."

"I know, Mom." Manman flapped her little wings with all her might.

Ming Linyuan watched from afar, his heart aching.

They haven't even grown all their feathers yet, and they're already flying so desperately; they'll get hurt!

But he dared not get close, afraid that she would find him and kick him out again.
