Sally withdrew the protective scale from her hand, gently placed it on her forehead, and it fit perfectly as a hat, even looking quite adorable.

“Your father still named you Crown Princess after your return, that was his choice. Also, Little Shiqi has a Divine Status, born at the God Rank, and may go to the Divine Realm at any time. He won’t stay here for long. Cherish the time you have with Little Shiqi, alright?”

Xiaoqi’s blue eyes brimming with moisture, “What did Mom say? Where is Little Shiqi going?”

Sally replied, “To the Divine Realm, the place from which Uncle Qing Linghuan came, also known as Divine Realm, where the Divine Clan resides.”

“And what about Xiaoba?”

“Who knows how far his destiny will take him. He hasn’t hatched from his shell yet, he must have his own ideas. But whatever it is, he won’t compete with you for Your Majesty.”

“Really? He won’t compete with me for Father?”

“Mhm!”

Sally looked towards the entrance of the hall, where familiar robes flashed by for an instant.

After chatting with Xiaoqi for a bit more, Sally let her leave.

It wasn’t long before Zi Qi’s hearty laughter echoed from the direction of the garden. Sally breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps this father and daughter have no lingering issues now.

…

It was time for the monthly exam.

Sally stared at the seats belonging to Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, which remained empty.

[Xiaomei? What happened?]

[They went to the Divine Realm, not on Jiushen Mountain. Due to the distance, summoning them would cost 1,000,000 Fertility Points. Host, do you still wish to summon them?]

[Why didn’t they tell me before leaving?] Sally glanced at her points, remembering Xiaomei had helped the System complete tasks and had been rewarded one hundred million points.

Adding on the points from participating in the Holy War, the Fertility Points, as well as the deductions from Little Yunning’s heart regeneration, she was left with 407,068,813.

It was a substantial amount of points, but they wouldn’t last if spent carelessly. Best to save them up for critical times…

“These two aren’t coming.” Sally removed Little Shisi and Little Shiwu’s seats.

Zi Qi was looking forward to getting cozy with the two and roughing up their tails again, truly not satisfied with the last sneaky touch.

“Why not? Is it because the exam is too difficult?”

Spot on!

Sally’s mouth twitched slightly, and through gritted teeth she said, “I’ll summon them for the year-end exams. If they fail, watch how I’ll deal with Qing Linghuan!”

Zi Qi: “…”

Looking over at his own three children, no way! He’d have to send them to Zong Silu, they simply couldn’t afford to fail!

Xiaohao didn’t need summoning, as Pei Xuan had delivered his child himself.

Noticing the absence of the little fox pair, he asked about them too.

Sally’s expression wasn’t great.

Seeing this, Pei Xuan quickly changed the subject, “Some issues have been arising within the clan recently, so there was no time to come to the palace.”

“Oh? What happened?” Sally asked, following his lead.

Zi Qi said, “You two chat, I’ll go distribute the exam papers to the kids.”

“Wait! Hand over those two papers for Little Shisi and Little Shiwu. They’re absent now, but I’ll still send them their exams. They might think they’re strong enough to skip classes without consequence!”

Sally took the two exam papers, wrote that she’d summon them for the year-end exams—they might avoid the end of the month, but not the end of the year!

She spent ten thousand points to have Xiaomei send the exam papers to Little Shisi and Little Shiwu.

Zi Qi and Pei Xuan exchanged glances, then silently went to look after their respective children…

After Xiaoqi finished writing an answer, she heard Zi Qi passing by behind her cough softly twice.

Her eyes darted quickly, and she immediately changed her answer to the second option.

Next to her, Xiaojin followed suit and changed her answer, as did Little Shiqi.

Xiaohao, too, received silent understanding from the Father Beast, and swiftly completed one side of the paper, front and back.

Sally didn’t notice their subtle movements. Little Miqi was hungry; she was feeding her, and the little guy hadn’t seen her in days and was especially clingy, needing to be held.

“Pei Xuan, what happened in your clan?” Sally asked gently as she rocked Little Miqi in her arms.

Pei Xuan secretly calculated Xiaohao’s score on the paper, which was high enough to pass, and decided not to prompt him any further, leaving the rest up to his own performance.

“It’s nothing to be proud of,” Pei Xuan replied.

Sally glanced at Zi Qi and saw that he was still busy proctoring the children, showing no interest in their conversation. It seemed he was aware of it already.

“Tell me about it.”

“It was an outsider of our clan, someone you should know—Sun Manrou, my cousin’s daughter.”

“Her? What happened? Was she kidnapped by the Demon Clan again?” Ten thousand years ago, Sun Manrou had been captured by a Phantom Demon Beast and afflicted with the Fertility Virus, eventually being devoured by the Demon Fetus…

“She spent a fortune to find a female with Talent but no Fertility Strength, wanting to steal the other’s Talent. Not only did she end up killing her, but she also ruined her own body and is now barely kept alive by Spiritual Medicine. The family of the female who was killed is suing my cousin’s family, demanding Sun Manrou’s life in compensation.”

“What did your cousin have to say about it?”

“At first, of course, they did not want to lose Sun Manrou, but now, with the high cost of the Spiritual Medicine and the loss of her fertility… harming others ends up harming oneself.”

“So what does this have to do with you?”

“The other party is from the Northern Region and has some blood relation to Yin Zang.”

“Uh!” Sally looked again towards Zi Qi, who remained passive as if he had not heard a word about the matter.

“It looks like Your Majesty doesn’t want to get involved.”

“Yin Zang hasn’t stepped in either, so the matter is being suppressed for now.”

“Well, there are already so few people in the Northern Region, and it’s a female at that. It looks like your cousin will at least have to give up Sun Manrou.”

“They’ve demanded one life plus a compensation of two million Crystal Coins. Right now, our clan is helping their family raise the money.”

“You’re not contributing too, are you? How much?”

“One million.”

“Tsk, such a sucker for losses.”

…

Asura Realm.

The Asura Realm, once shrouded in eternal darkness where one couldn’t see their hand before their face, now took on a dim yellow hue.

A lantern appeared in the sky, and it was this lantern that brought a hint of light to the Asura Realm.

A man and a woman approached the lantern.

The man was dressed in white, with a nondescript appearance that wouldn’t attract attention.

The woman, on the contrary, was clad in a colorful dawn dress, woven from rainbow light and emanating Divine Status. Her petite face was exquisitely beautiful; her skin was pale, transparent, and as delicate as fresh snow. Her pure and lovely features were enchanting, and when she smiled, her lively eyes sparkled with innocence and sincerity, inspiring joy in others.

Fan Qiqi looked curiously at the lantern, “Senior brother, what is this lamp that can illuminate the Asura Realm?”

Bi Luan replied, “This is not a lamp; it’s the Chaos Light from the beginning of the universe. There’s no place it cannot illuminate, but it will never be bright.”

“For what purpose do two Divine Envoys grace the Asura Realm with their presence?” A man in black clothing, his face obscured by an Asura Mask, appeared.

The menacing, ghastly mask startled Fan Qiqi, “Who are you?”

The newcomer replied, “Just a nobody.”

“Anyone who’s alive in the Asura Realm is no ordinary ghost; who are you really?” Bi Luan materialized a divine spear radiating golden light in his hand.
