Chapter 497: Chapter 495: The Sensible and Willful Host…

Qing Linghuan, already resembling a massive mountain range in his beast form, grew even larger, swinging thirteen thick fox tails, bewitchingly and chillingly, in the air. Among them, one golden tail stood out as particularly different.

Sally looked astonished at that golden tail, “What happened, you changed colors after transcending a calamity?”

Qing Linghuan changed back to human form and embraced her tightly, “Are you pregnant?”

“Yes.” Sally curiously asked, “Why is there a golden tail?”

“Life Tail, an extra life.” Qing Linghuan didn’t seem too concerned.

“That’s great.” Sally smiled, “Then this trip wasn’t for nothing. Not only an extra life but also a second child… It seems this child really brings luck to you, their biological father.”

“Good children are sensible.” Qing Linghuan’s gaze softened as he looked at her abdomen, then he directly picked her up, “When will it be born?”

Sally nestled in his arms, “I’m not sure, Xiaomei couldn’t say precisely, just told me to eat more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. I’m just tired of eating Divine Beast Pills every day.”

Based on Divine Beast Pills, she had eaten countless while carrying the Nine Heavens Kunpeng, and now it was starting all over again.

“I have a grudge against the Great Elder of the Azure Dragon Clan; he once cut off one of my tails. Now it’s time for him to pay back principal and interest, and my strength is around that of a Divine Monarch as well.”

“Eh! For his Divine Beast Pills? That’s not necessary.” Sally waved her hands hurriedly, “Don’t provoke such a formidable clan. What if they can’t do anything to you but decide to trouble Little Shisi and Little Shiwu instead?”

“Yanyan, do you know why I don’t often return to the Divine Realm? It’s because I have too many enemies. Like you said, for the sake of Little Shisi and Little Shiwu as well, I must settle these old scores to ensure they wouldn’t dare target them and incidentally get some supplies for you.”

“… How do you have so many enemies?”

“Just young and combative.”

“…”

Sally transformed back into her beast form, resembling a little white mouse, and lay contentedly in the palm of his hand, “This feels much more comfortable.”

Qing Linghuan looked at her, “Can you give birth to a little mouse like yourself?”

“I thought you’d want a little fox.” Sally sprawled out in the warm, soft cradle of his palm, the comfort immeasurable.

She drifted off to sleep in a daze.

Qing Linghuan looked at her and asked, “Xiaomei, has she completed her task?”

A [Yes] appeared in the air.

Qing Linghuan thought for a moment, “Do we need to return now?”

[You can return.]

“Then can I return to the Divine Realm?”

[You can.]

“Let’s go back, I want to score some food for Yanyan.”

[Calamity Abyss, you need to seal it like last time, I can take you back with me.]

“No problem.” Qing Linghuan agreed readily.

The Calamity Abyss was sealed by Qing Linghuan.

Xiaomei retrieved the Time-Space Conveyance Machine from the space, [Once you enter, I will initiate the transition back to the Beast World.]

“Okay.”

Qing Linghuan placed the sleeping little white mouse Sally in his arms and entered the Time-Space Conveyance Machine. It looked small from the outside, but it was quite spacious inside.

As soon as Qing Linghuan had settled in, the Time-Space Conveyance Machine activated.

It quickly started shuttling through the Temporal Tunnel, with the world’s shadows flashing by rapidly before his eyes.

This too was Qing Linghuan’s first time to observe the Temporal Tunnel in such a manner, different from the constant vigilance he used to maintain, fearing that a single misstep would cause him to get lost here.

In the past, he had thought of himself as a unique existence between heaven and earth, but now, he felt very insignificant. Here, he was but a speck of dust, trivial and inconsequential.

Whether it was the Divine Realm, the Spiritual Realm, or the Asura Realm… here, they were merely sparse like the stars.

What is heaven and earth, this here is truly heaven and earth!

Qing Linghuan gradually entered a state of enlightenment.

Sally woke up from her deep sleep and, realizing Qing Linghuan’s state, immediately moved away from his embrace.

She transformed into her humanoid form on the seat next to him, “Xiaomei, what’s happening to him?”

“Look at him, just by sitting in the shuttler for a bit, he reached enlightenment. You’ve wandered for ten thousand years, and your realm hasn’t improved much,” Xiaomei mocked their host.

Sally fell silent, “I originally do not possess such wisdom roots. Besides, I’d also like to be tied to a cultivation system, if not, the Divine Wealth System will do.”

“Hmph! I knew you’ve been thinking about 001 all this time.”

“Hey~ being rich must be nice!”

Sally looked at Qing Linghuan, who seemed unlikely to wake from his enlightenment soon, and started discussing the system with Xiaomei.

Prior to the reversal of time, 000 and 001 were already eliminated, and only she, 002, repeatedly disguised as various ordinary Offspring Systems, was preserved.

But being constantly hunted and cleaned up by the Main System as a ‘virus’, she no longer wanted to keep running.

Meeting her was the last time binding with a host. Little did she expect to encounter a reversal of time, which was nothing short of a miracle for her.

After the reversal of time, the chief of the original Main System, due to the major oversight of not discovering the Insect Beast virus, led to a destructive attack on the entire System World and was dismissed from his position.

As a Main System cannot function without a head, just like a large organization can’t operate without a supreme ruler, the Main System, after synthesizing various data, selected the developer who also was reborn after the time reversal and had created the Ark series systems, namely Xiaomei’s creator.

After he took over the Main System, he activated 000 and 001, and when preparing to launch 002, he found it still operational, continuing with the data program from before the reversal of time.

By then, Xiaomei had already reached a far, far away world, completely unable to receive information from the Main System.

Until Xiaomei returned to the Beast World, the Main System immediately made contact with her.

In fact, Sally was not supposed to be reborn with her soul memories intact. It was through Xiaomei’s negotiations, handing over all the data from worlds she’d wandered for ten thousand years, that Sally was saved.

Now, those worlds they had experienced together also became developmental objectives for the Main System.

Moreover, Sally’s change from an Offspring Host to a Special Host was the result of negotiations between Xiaomei and the Main System. Xiaomei knew Sally was unwilling to be forced into childbirth continuously, and while Sally liked children, having them in succession would certainly cause her mental world to collapse again.

Thus came the high-quality offspring plan. Perhaps the Main System had other plans, but for now, Sally could freely choose between bearing children and completing tasks…

Sally was astounded, realizing Xiaomei had done so much for her. In negotiating with the Main System, Xiaomei finally settled on less harsh terms that the Main System could accept for her.

“Xiaomei, you’ve been really good to me!”

“Stabilizing the host’s emotions is also very important for Xiaomei. Ah! Who let Xiaomei carelessly bind with a host so emotional and willful?”

“… Most of the time, I’m quite rational.”

“Are you sure, host?”

“Sure… I guess!”
