Chapter 1193: She is the Tree of Life
...
Divine Beast University.
The last one to hand in the exam paper, Little Shiyi, also went to Dingshi Building.
Rong Ruo came to Zong Silu's office holding the exam papers, glancing at the sky outside the window, "Heavenly Dao is in a good mood."
Zong Silu took the thick stack of papers, placed them into the Barrier Box, planning to grade them after eating.
Hearing Rong Ruo's comment, he also glanced outside and laughed, "Not just him, Old Ming should have a good result too."
"I hope it turns out well for real, Old Ming has been working too hard these hundreds of thousands of years," Rong Ruo sighed.
Zong Silu looked up at Yase who entered, "Brother Yase, what do you think?"
Yase placed a new hydroponic plant on the windowsill, adjusting the leaves, "Before the exam started, I saw Manman went to find Yanyan."
Rong Ruo's eyes lit up, "That should work, Yanyan has a soft spot for children."
Yase was deeply touched, "She is as soft with children as she is harsh with us. Yet we all persistently hang on this tree."
"Because she is the Tree of Life, without her, we can't even live," Rong Ruo laughed.
Zong Silu put the box into the Space Ring, "Let's go, drink at Zulu's place, charge it to Old Ming's account."
"I'll come over later," Yase replied.
"Alright," Zong Silu and Rong Ruo left together.
Yase returned to his office, looking at the Crystal Ball on the table, a strand of blood aura seeped from his fingertips, slowly revealing Sally's image inside the ball.
She was pointing at Frans's nose, scolding, "What good is eating strong hero's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?" Qing Linghuan is already messing around, I didn't expect to find another one here.
She flung a washboard to the ground, "Reflect on this properly."
"Uh!" Frans quickly picked up the washboard, "Can't I go back and kneel? This is Old Ming's house, if the kids come back, it would be embarrassing for them to see."
Sally's gaze shifted to Ming Linyuan, "Did you give it to him?"
"I... I... I was just..." Ming Linyuan stammered in panic.
Frans holding the washboard thought he shouldn't monopolize Yanyan's 'affection', "There are others, too, You Hao, Qing Linghuan, Rong Ruo, Zong Silu, Pei Xuan, Zhu Sanlang, they all asked Old Ming for supplements."
"…Your Majesty also took some," Ming Linyuan confessed honestly.
Sally was dizzy, there's also Zi Qi, they all want kids…
Yase saw this and revealed a slight smile, "A happy Yanyan."
...
Sally showed up at Divine Beast University with a displeased look, seeking Yase.
Pushing open the office door, she saw Yase holding a bouquet of crystal light pink lilies, waiting for her, as if certain she would come.
"For you," Yase smiled.
Who doesn't like beautiful flowers? Sally was no exception.
Her expression immediately improved a great deal, taking the bouquet and deeply inhaling the fragrance, thoroughly relaxing, "Thank you, Yase, it'd be better if you stopped spying on me."
She came to confront him with a grievance.
Spying on her several times a day, far exceeding their agreement.
"I'm afraid I can't," Yase couldn't control his desire.
Sally sighed, thinking: No one is perfect, no one is perfect… wait, he's the Blood Master, other Beast Husbands are beasts, different species, not human...
Yase patted her head, "To have expectations of you, to have needs from you, shows a deep love for you, no need to feel troubled. As for the child, there's no need to worry about it."
"You saw it all, didn't you?" Sally fell into his arms, resting her forehead against his chest, "When I'm intimate with them, can you not peek?"
"No way, must watch!" Yase replied.
Sally stepped on him hard, "Spy once, I'll punish you once!"
"Even so, I'll still watch!" Yase's resolve was firm.
"Do you believe I'll send you back to Abel Universe?"
"..."
"Really though, next time come back with me. Whether as an arms dealer or a Ruling King, I always feel you're better suited there."
"Yanyan," Yase kissed her forehead, "It's not where I'm suited, but where you are."
"If I go to Abel Universe, will you follow me? Next time I might stay there for centuries."
"Sure."
"Okay, then it's settled." Sally plucked a lily of the valley, "What's its flower language?"
"Happiness."
"I like it."
"You didn't let Ming Linyuan mark you," Yase noticed her scent.
Sally nodded, "I once shared with him 140,000 years of lifespan. Other Beast Husbands also got some, but theirs have been returned through the Partner Contract."
"Which do you think he prefers between 140,000 years of lifespan and having you?"
"The former?"
"Knowing this you still ask, if it were me, I'd trade all my lifespan for once having you," Yase gently caressed her flawless skin, slowly downwards, finally resting on his mark, "I'm thirsty, Yanyan."
"Drink then," Sally tilted her neck for him to bite, after all, it's her Beast Husband to care for.
The scent of blood and intimacy spread…
...
Little Shiyi noticed the Phoenix Pattern Space Ring on Ming Linyuan's finger, the same as other uncles and elders, joyfully sharing this good news with other siblings and celebrating by distributing wealth.
Little Shiliu selected a pipe from the pile of treasures, gently blowing out a divine flame, "Good stuff! I'm taking this one."
"Glad you like it, it's yours," Little Shiyi said happily.
"Thank you," Little Shiliu envied, "Sigh! Why didn't my dad get it?"
Xiaoqi randomly picked an item and put it away, "Uncle Qin loves the previous mother who saw him as her world, not the current one. Uncle Ming is different, he and mother have four children, properly four births, only Uncle Frans shares this treatment."
"Heard Uncle Frans is trying for a fifth child, is that true?"
"It's true. But I just heard Uncle Frans wailing in Furong Pavilion, saying mother is avoiding pregnancy for the next five thousand years, no one's children will be born!"
"Ah? What about Uncle You Hao's?"
"The same!"
"…Haha~"
"Failed to sneak a baby, missing a five-thousand-year chance, these uncles and elders."
"Sister Xiaoqi, is this pretty?" Xiaotian held out a seven-color treasure pearl necklace for Xiaoqi.
Xiaoqi's eyes immediately turned bright blue, "I'll trade you for a Chaos Stone!"
...
Furong Pavilion.
Frans held a cup of wine, apologetically offering it to the grim-faced You Hao, "Sorry, this whole thing was entirely my fault. If I hadn't started with this strong hero's Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, everyone wouldn't have followed my lead. Didn't expect Yanyan to be this angry."
Ming Linyuan added, "Brother Yu didn't ask me for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"Is that so?" Frans looked at You Hao, "But I mentioned your name to Yanyan…"
Poor You Hao, purely innocent, dragged into the mess, gritted his teeth and took the wine from Frans, "After Yanyan gets pregnant with my child, you hand over as many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as you have."
Frans agreed wholeheartedly, "Absolutely, definitely! You wouldn't even have to ask, brother, my hands will present them!"
