That night. Sally's body had been sated, soft as a lump of mud, but her spirit was still quite excited. Seizing the chance while drinking water, she took a Rejuvenation Pill and her strength was instantly restored. "Accompany me in training again." Xiaomei had told her that one of the conditions for the trial of the Holy Mother was physical capability. It was about how long one could last with a male partner without taking any Rejuvenation Pills; she could practice in advance. The only male whose limit she had not yet tested was the one before her. In the end, it was always he who, out of concern for her body, curbed his own desires. She had never made him lose control. "Why are you in such high spirits?" Zi Qi held her in his embrace, letting her rest for a while. "That's it?" Sally's hand mischievously explored, obviously still energized. "I'm afraid of hurting you." Zi Qi pinched her exceptionally soft cheek. "Don't be ungrateful." "I think you just can't handle it." Sally continued to provoke, heedless of the danger. Zi Qi, the majestic Beast Emperor, couldn't possibly let her get the better of him with just a few words. He patted her slick back. "Why are you crying?" An irrelevant question extinguished all of Sally's rising tides. "If Your Majesty no longer wishes to proceed, let's return to the palace. It's almost dawn." Sally slipped out of his embrace and put on a sexy black lace nightgown from her space. Allowing him to see her vulnerability was Sally's miscalculation. "In front of anyone, even your own child, you're always wearing a mask. As if you're playing a role. It's only in the moment you cry that I see the real you." Zi Qi also rose from the bed, dressed in white ceremonial attire with discreet patterns, which completely concealed his naturally gifted and perfectly honed physique, transforming him back into the lofty Beast Emperor. Sally poured two glasses of wine and handed him one. "I am me, mask or no mask. Aren't your lips already familiar with that?" Zi Qi pulled her into his arms, pressing her tightly against his body, but despite being so close, she felt so distant... too far to truly reach. "There's no one in your heart," Zi Qi pierced through the facade with one statement. He could see through it, and so could those privileged sons of heaven. That's why they only wanted her children; they never hoped to truly possess her. "What a wicked female!" Sally drank the wine in her glass and held it in her mouth. Her legs wrapped around his waist like vines, she leaned down, kissed his lips, and passed the delightful wine to him... Dawn broke, and only then did Zi Qi leave. Sally finally saw him lose control, even if just a sliver, yet she still hadn't touched the depths. For such a person, she knew what to do, but she could not do it. He had seen through her heart, and he was not wrong; she wore a mask, hiding her true self behind it. But what else could she do? Only in this way could she keep going. Her true heart had once sprouted tender shoots, had endured the pains of growth, had become a towering tree, had even borne fruit... In the end, the fruits were shattered, the tree uprooted and split for kindling. Dead, without even ashes remaining. How could she let others see? Her last refuge had turned into a desolate wasteland, devoid of the power of love. ... "Sally, are you going to class?" Dongfang Yan's voice came from outside the door. "Yes," Sally replied. She had not yet picked up the academy's uniform, so she was still wearing her own clothes, a pale azure, elegant long dress with white, delicate leather flat boots on her feet. With her collarbone-length wavy hair tied in a short ponytail, her exquisitely pale face was exposed, adding a sweet and playful look, filled with the essence of youth. "Though I hate to admit it, you really are beautiful," Wen Yixin said enviously as she looked at Sally's face. Dongfang Yan's sharp eyes noticed a peach blossom petal-like red mark on her neck. "Sally, did something bite you? Why is your neck red?" Sally's cheeks flushed with heat. That was where Zi Qi had kissed her last before leaving... "It's a bit itchy, I rubbed it myself, just a moment." Sally hurried back to her room, got a bit of concealer, and covered the red mark, then wrapped a silk scarf around her neck. Seeing Sally's scarf, Wen Yixin asked, "That's so pretty, where did you buy it, Sister Sally?" "This... a friend gave it to me, I'll ask later." "You must remember to ask, oh! My brother always fobs me off, saying he'll buy me something, but in the end, it's always delay, delay, delay, until I forget about it, and then he doesn't buy it." "Haha." Sally laughed out loud. Dongfang Yan also pursed her lips and smiled. Once they left the dormitory, a tall and handsome male was standing outside. Wen Yixin called him brother. Dongfang Yan, however, lowered her head, her expression not visible. At that moment, Wen Yixin suddenly linked arms with Sally and pulled her forward, whispering, "My brother and Sister Yan'er are discussing engagement, let them walk together." Sally understood, "You should have said earlier; I'll send Dongfang a congratulatory gift." "Preparing now isn't too late." Wen Yixin winked playfully, "By the way, when are you marrying Zong Brother?" "Us?" Sally thought of Zong Silu and shook her head, "We probably won't go that far." "What?! But you've already had a child." That was what she had to admit. Sally had given birth to a Heaven Rank cub, something she could absolutely, definitely not do, so she had no choice but to admire her. "Having a child doesn't necessarily mean getting married." Sally replied with a light-hearted smile. "That's true, some married couples can't even have children." "..." This reverse way of thinking didn't seem wrong either. "But you're really amazing, how your belly grew, even giving birth to a Heaven Rank. Share some secrets with me." As she spoke, Wen Yixin reached out to touch Sally's stomach. Sally laughed out loud from being tickled as she moved to the side to avoid her touch. As a result, she bumped into someone. Sally quickly turned around to look. With blue hair and blue eyes, the refined and courteous Rong Ruo steadied her, "Be careful." "Rong Ruo?" Sally's eyes lit up, "You're back at the academy." Rong Ruo nodded with a smile, "It's me." "Rong Ruo, not Rong Wu?" Wen Yixin looked Rong Ruo over. "You can call me that too." Rong Ruo replied with a smile. Wen Yixin pulled Sally to one side and whispered to her, "Stay away from him, he hits and curses people, with very poor character." Sally: "..." Rong Wu had thoroughly ruined Rong Ruo's reputation. Having her arm tightly gripped by Wen Yixin, Sally had no choice but to say to Rong Ruo, "Rong Ruo, I need to speak with you, let's meet later in the library." "Okay." Rong Ruo's handsome face revealed a gentle and serene smile. Not until she was dragged away by Wen Yixin for a while did Sally remember that she had forgotten to tell Rong Ruo the time... She looked back and saw that Rong Ruo was still standing there. She hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Lunchtime." Rong Ruo nodded, "Okay."
