Chapter 177 - 177 176 Visit
Chapter 177: Chapter 176 Visit Chapter 177: Chapter 176 Visit Luo Chuan said, “Hasn’t that place already been destroyed by the Heimagnetic Volcano?”
Frans nodded. “Lena and Cassie’s Offspring System has shattered, ceasing to exist. It’s possible that all Offspring Systems are now obsolete.”
“What about her?”
“Her system is very special, not like Lena’s and the others’. Otherwise, how could she so easily become pregnant with my child?”
“…That’s impressive. If I wanted children—”
A chill of murderous intent hit him head-on.
“No, I have absolutely no thoughts about offspring!”
Luo Chuan raised his hands, sincerely admitting his mistake.
…
With a turn of her head, Sally had filled the System Space to the brim!
And it was all rare and precious materials—she felt like she could wake up laughing in her sleep.
The expansion scrolls that she had tossed into an obscure corner were all used up. Now the space of over a thousand square meters was stuffed to the gills.
The update time for Xiaomei had been extended once more, this time directly to half a year.
Sally didn’t know what was going on with it, whether it had anything to do with the laboratory being destroyed by volcanic lava, but as long as it was continuing to update normally, it should still exist.
Now, all she could do was wait.
In the blink of an eye, another month passed.
Sally transformed into her human form and teleported to the top of the highest tree on the island to survey the entirety of Yunmeng Island.
This glance was startling—her eyes widened in amazement.
The island was drifting on the sea.
“My goodness, it’s my first time seeing an island like this.”
In the distance, there were three mountain peaks, forming a perfect ‘mountain’ character shape. On the straight, towering middle peak, there was also a building.
Sally remembered the man named Zhu Sanlang and the black and white bunny she had encountered before.
“That must be his house, right? It’s been over a month since I came to the island. It’s time to pay a visit.”
From the System Space, she took out a basket filled with colorful fruits, amongst which was also a Qingxin Plum and teleported towards that building.
From afar it didn’t look very big, but as she got closer, she found that just the platform out front was as large as a football field. Moreover, it was located on a cliffside, adding to the heart-stopping sensation.
Standing on the platform, Sally looked around the clean, spotless surroundings. The building above was on an even higher cliff, shrouded in a barrier. Without the owner’s permission, she couldn’t enter.
At that moment, the black and white bunny from the forest pond hopped over to her.
Seeing this, Sally smiled and set down the fruit basket, “For you to enjoy.”
The black and white bunny sniffed it, then took the Qingxin Plum and began to crunch on it right there.
Sally said with a laugh, “Little bunny, you and I both like Qingxin Plums, tasty, isn’t it?”
The little bunny, of course, did not answer; it was just an ordinary rabbit.
Zhu Sanlang suddenly appeared, looking at Sally, “Thanks for the fruits, Miss Sally. His name is Xiaoguang?”
“Xiaoguang? Is it a male?”
“Male?” Zhu Sanlang looked at her, “Generally, we say ‘male’ and ‘female,’ but male is also correct.”
Male and female… Sally looked at him, secretly pondering, just where had the Spatial Movement Treasure transported her? Previously, the continents she had visited typically classified the gender of animals into male and female.
“How do you refer to time here? Sands? Hours?”
“Hour (时辰).”
“…” Sally’s lips twitched slightly, “Are you a human, or from the Beast Clan?”
Zhu Sanlang looked at her, understanding, “You must be from that place.”
“Which place is that?” Sally asked.
Zhu Sanlang picked up Xiaoguang, grabbed the fruit basket, and collected the pits of the Qingxin Plum that Xiaoguang had left over, “Miss Sally, if you don’t mind, please come in and have a cup of plain tea.”
“Thank you.” Sally happened to have a belly full of doubts.
Zhu Sanlang led Sally into the building.
Sally examined the architectural style, which was very retro, showing no hint of modern civilization, nor the presence of Elemental Power. It was purely handcrafted, and the entire wooden structure of the building was made using mortise and tenon joints without a single nail. The carved patterns were also exquisite, as if created by divine craftsmanship.
“What a beautiful house, who built it?”
“I did.”
“Amazing! Truly impressive!” Sally exclaimed.
Zhu Sanlang invited her to sit in the living room, then started preparing the tea.
Taking in the refreshing aroma of the tea, Sally finally felt as though she had returned to the human world.
“You’re human, aren’t you?”
“I’m not,” replied Zhu Sanlang, then looked at her, “Miss Sally, aren’t you a demon yourself?”
“Demon?” Sally laughed, “That’s right. I’m a Rat Demon. And what about you, Mr. Zhu?”
Zhu Sanlang presented the brewed tea with both hands.
Sally quickly reciprocated with a gesture of thanks, “Thank you.”
“I have nothing to disclose.”
“…” Why do I feel like I’m getting shortchanged, I told him I’m from the Rat Clan; he should at least tell me about his beast… Oh, demon form.
“Is it just you here?”
“Hmm, this is my sanctuary. How did Miss Sally find this place?”
How to say, I came here looking for food!
She chuckled awkwardly, “I just randomly chose a place to teleport to, never expected to accidentally stumble upon your esteemed abode.”
“Hmm, when does Miss Sally plan to leave?”
“…”
Is he really being this upfront about kicking me out?
“Well, I was thinking of leaving after having the baby, so I might be bothering you for a while longer, maybe for a bit over six months.”
Zhu Sanlang’s hand tightened slightly around the bamboo cup, but his expression remained serene as he picked up his teacup, “Please, Miss Sally.”
“Thank you,” Sally picked up her teacup and took a sip, “The first taste is sweet with a distinct floral fragrance, followed by woody notes. The aftertaste is mellow and full, smooth down the throat, with an endless aftertaste. This is really nice tea.”
Zhu Sanlang looked at her in surprise, “You know about tea?”
“Just a little bit,” Sally said as she took out a set of unopened tea sets from the System Space, “I didn’t know Mr. Zhu had a liking for tea. You must accept this gift for our meeting.”
Zhu Sanlang accepted the tea set, “Is this also from ‘the other side’?”
Sally scratched her earlobe, “What exactly do you mean by ‘the other side,’ Mr. Zhu?”
Zhu Sanlang said, “Five thousand years ago, I’ve been to ‘the other side.'”
“…Five thousand years ago!?” The timeline is a bit too vast! She took another sip of tea to calm her surprise.
“Please, do tell!” No matter what, this person must be a senior who’s how many generations old.
Senior? Zhu Sanlang glanced at her, “That side to the west is called the Beast World; this side to the east is called the Demon Realm.”
Putting the two together, it’s the Demon and Beast World, quite fitting! Sally continued, “So can I understand it like this, the place I come from is the Western part of the Demon Realm, and Mr. Zhu’s place is the Eastern part of the Beast World.”
Zhu Sanlang’s forehead twitched slightly, “If you insist on understanding it that way, sure. It’s all the same world, just divided into eastern and western halves.”
Sally nodded, “Continue.”
Zhu Sanlang glanced at the tea set and held back, “When I went there, it happened to be during their Holy War.”
“Yes, I know. I’m the newest Holy Mother,” Sally murmured.
Zhu Sanlang glanced at her again, “In the Beast World, the Beast Clan is led by females, and when the clans go to war, the defeat of one side often means the extinction of the entire clan.”
What do you think?
