... After Frans was transported away by that golden light, he never appeared again. Sally knew that he had left this continent, which was why she had chosen to stay in this suite. It wasn't for any other reason, except that the Defense Barrier of this suite was acknowledged by Zi Qi. Gazing at the cloudless sky outside the window, her heart didn't feel as calm as it seemed. A phrase that Frans said before he left weighed on her mind — The Holy Monarch always gets what he wants! Did the Holy Monarch want her child? Otherwise, why would he inquire about information regarding the child? Regardless, she had to make a trip to the Holy Capital Continent. If the Holy Monarch intended to target her child, then surely he wouldn't let her off either. No matter where she went, she would be watched. If the Holy Monarch didn't care about her child, then her existence probably wouldn't attract his attention either. Another very important matter was the points on her wrist, which were earned for her diligently by Zi Qi and his group. She didn't want to waste them, and they would convert to Fertility Points once the third stage ended. For her, who was in debt of over eight hundred million, these eighty million points were a tenth of her debt — something she absolutely couldn't give up. There was also the final round of the Holy Mother competition likely to have point rewards. Since she didn't want to rely on having children to earn points in the short term, these two opportunities to grab points couldn't be missed. Sally sat cross-legged, closing her eyes and regulating her breath. There was a knock on the door. "Sister Sally, it's Lena. I want to have a chat with you, may I?" Sally refused. Now that she knew her true nature, giving her another chance would be nothing but folly. At times like these, the safest thing to do was to guard her points and quietly wait for the third stage to end. With her current points, she was either first or second, and at the very least, she could secure third place. There was absolutely no need to go out and risk earning points. Moreover, Xiaomei was in the middle of an upgrade and couldn't afford any accidents. In this Beast World, Xiaomei was her greatest reliance. Pretending not to hear, Sally took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. Lena, seeing that Sally refused to open the door, had an ugly and fierce look on her face before finally turning away. When Sally saw on the System Map that Lena had returned to Senye Prosperity, just above her... Lena paced back and forth in the room, eventually even entering her bedroom, rummaging for something, sniffing the scents in the room. "It seems she really gave birth." Since Lena was a Witch Clan member who had assisted many pregnant females with childbirth, she was very familiar with the scent of labor. Even though the amniotic fluid from Sally giving birth had a very faint scent, almost undetectable, the closed room's air still carried a whiff of it that hadn't dispersed. "Could those males really have left the continent? But there were attempts made, and a Barrier surrounds the continent, making it impossible to leave." Someone stepped out from the transport corridor. Sally's System Map accurately captured the newcomer — it was Lin Xuexue. What was she doing here? Could she be here to kill her? 'Knock, knock, knock—' Lin Xuexue knocked on the door. Lena, thinking Sally had come back, immediately left the room and closed the bedroom door, checked the living room for any signs of disorder, and then went to open the door. "Sister Sally, you're back." Lena said with a smile. But upon seeing who was outside, Lena was startled. "You?" "Sister Sally... huh! You seem quite close to that slut," Lin Xuexue mocked as her gaze swept the room. "She's not here?" Lena leaned against the door, sizing her up. "You're currently second in ranking, no need to be so ruthless toward her." "Who would be content with second place when they can be first. Besides, only the first place gets any benefits," Lin Xuexue replied. "You've already been first twice in a row, letting someone else have it once shouldn't matter." "If it were you, that wouldn't be out of the question, but Sally? Absolutely not! I'm here to issue her a formal challenge and to kill her fair and square." "She's in the Sky Domain Garden downstairs; go issue your challenge there," Lena said with full expectation, "I will definitely be there to watch." "You better watch your own nest instead, lest someone robs you blind while you're naively helping them earn points." Lin Xuexue sneered. The expression on Lena's face turned uglier by the moment, fully aware of the affairs between her males and Tong Nanxi, which she had tacitly consented to. It was all to conceal her true identity. But if everybody knew she was the real Tong Nanxi, and thought of Sally's completely different attitudes towards her before and after... It seems that the jumping clown is herself. ... Sally, hearing the knocking at the door once again, knew it was Lin Xuexue, yet still did not respond to the door. If Xiaomei hadn't leveled up, she would have faced this challenge alone without a trace of fear. At this moment, however, it was best to play it safe. She continued to ignore the knocking and Lin Xuexue's provocation. "Sally, I never thought you'd be such a coward. Weren't you the brazen one at the Holy Banquet? How come you're so timid now, too scared to even accept a challenge?" Lena stood in the transmission corridor, looking at Lin Xuexue. Suddenly, she gestured for her to come closer, "Come here for a second." Lin Xuexue walked over. "What is it? You want to accept my challenge?" "I'm ranked third, so if there's a challenge, it should be me issuing it to you. However, the first rank gets a cup of Holy Water, which can prevent one malicious foul. If you haven't used it yet, you could try that, and go for a direct attack." "How do you know about the Holy Water?" "Because I've received Holy Water too. Just that there was an idiot in my squad who wasted it in vain." Recently, during her last visit to the Senye Prosperity, she was caught by Frans' time reversal ability. To protect her squad, she had to use the Holy Water. Lena glanced at the door to the Sky Domain Garden, "You and she both hail from the Northern Realm; do you know if she has any connections with the Holy Prince?" "I don't know, nor am I interested. In two more days, the third phase of the Holy War will end, and I must kill Sally within these two days, or I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart." Sally watched on the System Map as the two disappeared in the transmission corridor. Sighing, she lay flat, "Your Majesty, I really do miss you." ... In the distant 9908 Mortal Beast Continent. Zi Qi was dutifully handling official affairs at his desk. On his desk, there was a white Warm Jade Box, inside which lay a golden egg covered with dragon patterns and some complex and mystical dark runes. Suddenly, a little white mouse ran over, calling out crisply, "Father Majesty—" Upon hearing this call, Zi Qi's calm and indifferent face instantly melted like snow, and he tenderly asked, "Xiaoqi, have you eaten?" "Yes, I came to see little brother." Xiaoqi climbed onto the desk, following his body, then wiggled into the jade box. Zi Qi watched her circle the golden egg twice, and finally lay atop it, "Xiaoqi is helping to hatch little brother." "You're too early." Zi Qi took her off the golden egg and held her in his palm, looking at her as if seeing a certain greedy little white mouse... "Xiaoqi—" Zi Yuan entered the hall in a hurry, relieved to see Zi Qi holding the precious darling she was looking for, "You scared me to death, disappearing in the blink of an eye." "She's in the palace, no need to worry about safety," Zi Qi replied as he placed Xiaoqi back into the jade box. Xiaoqi clung to the edge of the box, looking at Zi Yuan, "Auntie, I'm not returning to the Princess Residence today. I'm going to hatch little brother." "Your Father Majesty took fifty years to hatch from the eggshell, and your little brother's talent, just judging from those dragon patterns, will take at least a hundred years." Zi Yuan was truly envious, "Brother Your Majesty, this offspring is truly extraordinary." "It's because Yanyan bore him well." Zi Qi's eyes were full of longing! ...
