Manman also flapped her chubby little wings and flew back to Ming Linyuan's shoulder, "Father, father, find something delicious for me and mother." The little one was quite practical, and ever since she had taken the Beast Nurturing Pill, her appetite was tremendous. She ate more and faster than Sally, otherwise, Zong Silu wouldn't have run out of the Nine-Petal Lotus Root so quickly after collecting so much. Ming Linyuan cradled her, his eyes filled with the most tender love, "Dad will find enough food for you." Sally, seeing the look in his eyes when he gazed at Manman, knew his love for Manman was unsurpassable. Previously, when Manman was harmed, his actions were excusable; advancing was an uncontrollable act of destiny, fleeting and elusive. If missed, it was highly likely one would never enter the peak's gate again. "Take revenge for Manman, retrieve her Innate Talent Soul Bead, and I'll give you custody," she said. Ming Linyuan's body trembled suddenly, as if he heard something unbelievable, his eyes widened, "What did you say?" "Good words don't come twice," Sally snatched Manman from his hands and continued walking forward, "Better scram now, you never know, I might regret it in a bit. Women, after all, are the most fickle." Ming Linyuan watched her back, a faint yet profound smile appearing on his handsome face, "Fine!" His figure gradually faded away. Sally, with Manman, searched for treasures of heaven and earth in the Primordial Beast Forest. Whether it was just bad luck for the mother and daughter, they just couldn't find anything. In the end, Manman was so hungry she started gnawing on jerky and drinking powdered milk, while Sally nibbled on a few of the System-provided compressed biscuits. "Looks like, relying on just us two won't do. Wait a moment..." Sally tapped her forehead, "I can buy them, why do I need to find them myself? There are specialists for everything; it's easier to pay those who are skilled at finding spiritual materials to search." Right there and then, Sally planned to leave with Manman. Ming Linyuan reappeared, one hand holding a white fish with a long beard, weighing no less than fifty pounds, and the other hand lifting a Nine-Petal Lotus and its root, along with several flowers and herbs she didn't recognize. "I went to the North-South Commerce Association. Starting tomorrow, they will deliver Spiritual Material to Wanfang Inn, and you and the child won't have to adventure out," he said. "..." This was thoughtful of him, "Oh." "If you need anything, you can also tell them. The North-South Commerce Association is mine." "Uh..." Sally was surprised and then looked at Manman on her shoulder, "Did you hear that? You're a second-generation rich." "What's a second-generation rich?" Manman asked, not understanding. Sally replied, "It means your old man is wealthy, and you get to reap the benefits." "Yanyan," said Ming Linyuan, suddenly drawing close to Sally. Sally didn't back away, lifting her eyes to look at him, "Hmm?" "I—" Ming Linyuan embraced her gently at first, and sensing no resistance, he gradually pulled her tighter, eventually as if trying to meld her into his own body. Sally relaxed her body, letting him hug her tightly. They were surrounded by a scent that once was so familiar to her, memories of their time together flooded her heart. "If there's a chance, we could have another bird," Sally murmured almost to herself. She thought he wouldn't hear it, but he immediately let her go, his silver pupils shining alarmingly, "Really?" Sally: "..." Those ears were quite sharp. "I said, 'if there's a chance'," Sally thought, after the Offspring System upgrades, it wouldn't be long before she'd need to have a bunch of Spirit Rank children. With a ready male, she'd rather not bother looking for another. "Reminder to the host, please eat as soon as possible to maintain the energy needed for the offspring's talent evolution," Xiaomei's voice rang out like an alarm bell. And just like that, the tenderness that had begun to rise in Sally's heart was shattered. Sally pointed at the fish on the ground that had yet to be cleaned up, "What is this?" "This is Dragon Whisker White Fish. It's excellent, whether eaten raw or cooked. I will clean it up for you and your daughter right away," Ming Linyuan said, his whole demeanor seeming to rejuvenate as his clothes transformed with a thought into a set of light blue work clothes suitable for the task. Sally looked at him with envy, "Can your clothes change whenever you wish?" "It's a transformation technique of the Ghost Chariot Phoenix Clan. When Manman can transform into a human, she will also awaken this innate talent." "Well, that's really nice. Our girl won't have to worry about clothes when she grows up," Sally glanced at Manman. The little one was staring at the Dragon Whisker White Fish, her eyes sparkling with light, clearly no longer listening to their conversation. "Hurry up, your daughter is hungry," Sally said to Ming Linyuan. Ming Linyuan nodded and began to prepare the fish. First, he took a piece of tender meat that melted in the mouth for Manman. Then he took another piece with a bit more chewiness and a fresher taste for Sally. The mother and daughter duo, feeding each other bites, quickly finished the most delicious parts of the big fish. In the end, only a large fish head remained, which Ming Linyuan ate almost without wasting a morsel. To him, it was the tastiest fish head he had ever eaten. Sally felt a bit sleepy after eating her fill, whereas Manman simply lay atop Ming Linyuan's head, her feet pointing skywards as she fell asleep. Seeing Manman sleep so peacefully like this was a first for Sally. The remnants of her grudge against Ming Linyuan faded away. Maybe for Manman, Ming Linyuan was indeed the best companion for her growth. "I will send you two back," Ming Linyuan said. Sally nodded and nestled into his arms, the fatigue from her pregnancy, along with the familiar scent of his body, soon put her to sleep. Ming Linyuan sent Sally back to the small building of Wanfang Inn and stayed with her for a long time, from daybreak to nightfall, and from the darkness to the pre-dawn gloom. He sat by the window all night, cradling Manman in his hands and reflecting on the memories Sally had shared with him. Although he did not know how she had obtained those memories, as if she had been there in person, they were definitely all true. Gently parting the fur over Manman's chest, he noticed a very fine scar still lingering there! "Third Devil King, Jeremy Shar, it seems you have forgotten that half of my blood comes from the Dark Continent..." An uncontrollable greyish-black mist began to emanate from his body. Manman seemed to sense the danger, her body curling up tightly. Ming Linyuan hastily retracted his aura and gently placed Manman over Sally's chest, "Daddy will retrieve your things and avenge you!" As he spoke, a spatial rift that could allow him passage appeared behind him. Greyish-black mist flowed out of it, looking just like the aura Ming Linyuan had just suppressed, as if originating from the same source. ... Liu Hui, the chairman of the prominent North-South Commerce Association in the Imperial Capital, came to Wanfang Inn early in the morning, carrying several boxes with him. Bai Kaixin yawned, holding a broom as she opened the door, ready to clean the entrance. "Good morning, Mr. Bai," Liu Hui immediately greeted with a cupped-hand salute, his face wearing a somewhat fawning smile. Bai Kaixin stood there, broom in hand, baffled, "You are? Looking for a room?" "Oh no, no. I am Liu Hui, the chairman of the North-South Commerce Association. I've come especially to visit Mr. Bai and Mrs. Sally." "Oh, you're looking for Sister Sally." Although Bai Kaixin was a partner in the inn and was respectfully referred to as Mr. Bai, everyone knew that there was only one real boss, and that was Sally.
