Chapter 571 - 510: Little Rose’s Contribution
Yan was slightly taken aback. "That’s good, too."
’Sha values this child greatly. He will surely shoulder the responsibility of raising it and do everything in his power to ensure a safe birth, minimizing the strain on Sang Luo’s body.’
"I’m hungry," Sang Luo said, looking at Yan pitifully.
She hadn’t had a good appetite these past few days. Hearing her finally say she was hungry, Yan was overjoyed. He rattled off a long list of dishes, asking what she wanted to eat.
Sang Luo smacked her lips. "Nothing so complicated. Do you have any sweet, crisp Spirit Fruits? I feel like munching on a few."
"Little Ye and the children have been in the Secret Realm lately. They found a lot of good things, so we’re definitely not short on Spirit Fruits or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. These are all sweet. See if there are any you like."
Sang Luo picked up a Spirit Fruit that looked a bit like a mangosteen. It tasted sweet and sour, was full of juice, and was delicious.
The power from these Spirit Fruits wasn’t what the baby needed; rather, it was Sang Luo’s own body that required this energy.
Seeing that her complexion had improved considerably, Yan relaxed and took her wrist to check her pulse.
’Compared to the past few days when the fetus had been endlessly devouring its mother’s Divine Soul Power, it now seemed to have fallen into a short slumber after eating its fill. Its development was also better than before.’
"Mommy, look what I found!" Little Yu’er was too young to go to the Secret Realm. He liked the Spiritual Energy in Qingqiu’s environment, so whenever his daddy wasn’t home or had gone to the Phoenix Palace, he would often come to Qingqiu to play with Brother Nuonuo.
Yan took the Qiankun Bag hanging from his little Jade Horn. Opening it, he saw it was filled with many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that nourished the Divine Soul—all of them Divine Rank!
The most eye-catching item among them was a blood-red fruit, about the size of a fist. Its skin was covered in many curved, leathery leaves, resembling diseased scales, and it emitted a faint three-colored light. One look was enough to tell it was no ordinary item.
After using his Celestial Fox Fire to soften the fruit, Yan cut it open. The pulp had turned into a thick, paste-like consistency and exuded a sweet, fruity aroma that was absolutely mouth-watering.
Yan placed the fruit in a bowl and handed it to Sang Luo. It was perfect for scooping out and eating with a small spoon.
"This is a Blood Soul Fruit. I’ve been trying to find one for you, but unfortunately, they went extinct on the Beast World Continent and are nearly impossible to track down."
Sang Luo scooped some up with the spoon and took a bite. It was indeed delicious.
’Who sent this?’ The answer was self-evident.
As Sang Luo was finishing the fruit, she found a thumb-sized yellow pit. She looked at Yan. "Can we plant this?"
"Blood Red Fruit has very demanding growth requirements, but we can give it a try."
Sang Luo smiled. "Little Rose is the Life Law."
"All living things in the world are instinctively drawn to the Life Law. Have the child come over and give it a try. Maybe she can actually make it grow," Yan said with a relaxed smile.
「...」
「Holy Palace.」
Little Rose was sprawled lazily on the throne, listening to the rows of winged Angels below who were passionately reciting poetry.
They praised the accomplishments of the Holy Palace!
Glorified the greatness of the Divine Angels!
Thanked the heavens for bestowing upon them a young lord to wash away the world’s sins, blah, blah, blah!
Little Rose had to listen to this routine every morning. She’d been hearing it ever since she was little, so much so that her ears were growing calluses. Kunkun yawned, wondering, ’How much longer until this is over...’
She was so bored she was about to fall asleep when she suddenly received a message from her mother. Her round, rose-colored eyes lit up instantly. With a start, she leaped from her seat and flapped her little wings, flying out of the hall.
"Little Saint Lord! Where are you going? The Holy Monarch instructed that you are not to run off."
"You all are so annoying! Don’t try to stop me!" Little Rose planted her little foot on his head and vanished in the blink of an eye.
The Holy Envoys couldn’t stop her.
Just as she flew out, she ran into her father, who was approaching with a scroll in his hands.
Seeing she had snuck out to play again, Minos’s handsome golden brows furrowed. He was just about to grab the little rascal and give her a lecture when he heard her shout frantically, "Dad, it was Mommy who called me! I didn’t mean to skip my lessons!"
Minos’s expression softened instantly. He stroked her fluffy, golden-haired head. "Go on, then. Don’t keep your mother waiting."
Little Apple flew over, hugging a pile of books and flapping his wings. "How come Mommy didn’t call me? I want to go too!"
"Okay, let’s go over and play together! I miss our little fox brother!" Little Rose then looked at Minos. "Father, are you going to see Mother?"
A flicker of worry flashed through Minos’s eyes, but it vanished so quickly that the two children didn’t notice.
He smiled gently. "I need to go into seclusion for a while. You two can go stay with your mother for a bit. I’ll come get you when I’m out. You can put your lessons on hold for now."
"Daddy is the best!"
Hearing they didn’t have to do their homework, the two children were overjoyed.
Minos gave a helpless smile. "Go on. Your mother should be in Qingqiu right now. Be good when you get there, and don’t cause any trouble."
"Okay!"
The two Little Angels put on their backpacks and happily went off to play in Qingqiu.
After watching the children leave, Minos also turned and went to a quiet room.
「...」
Not long after Sang Luo sent the message, she received a reply from her children. With a thought, the two Little Angels landed in her arms.
Little Rose carried a small pink backpack, while Little Apple had a green-apple-colored one. The backpacks were embroidered with exquisite patterns, very beautiful, and looked like the handiwork of their own father.
"Mommy! I missed you so much! Why haven’t you come to the Holy Palace to see me and my brother lately?" Little Rose said coquettishly, giving Sang Luo a soft hug.
Since becoming pregnant, Sang Luo had been spending most of her time in Qingqiu. The last time it was supposed to be her turn to visit the Holy Palace, the trip had to be canceled.
She held the two Little Angels and gently kissed their cheeks. "After Mommy gives birth to the baby, I’ll come spend more time with you!"
"You have to keep your promise, Mommy!" Little Rose held out her pinky finger.
Sang Luo smiled and hooked her pinky with hers. "When have I ever lied to you?"
Little Rose lay on the bed and curiously patted her belly. "What kind of baby are you having, Mommy? Is it a little sister or a little brother?"
In the past, she could always tell a little something, but this time, when she tried to see with her Life Law, she couldn’t see anything at all.
’So strange!’
"Even if you ask your mother, she doesn’t know either. We’ll find out when the baby is born," Yan said, bringing over a plate of cut fruit, along with some candy and snacks.
Little Apple, however, immediately noticed the fruit pit on the table. "What’s this?"
Little Rose was busy being affectionate with her mother. Hearing her brother’s words, she turned her head to look, and her eyes lit up with excitement. "Mommy, how is there a Blood Soul Fruit seed here!"
"You recognize this, sweetie?"
"Mhm! I do! I’ve seen it in a book. This fruit is a top-tier, Divine Rank Divine Soul Holy Product. It’s a shame they’re extinct on both the Beast World Continent and in the Holy Domain. Where did you get it, Mommy?"
Sang Luo paused. She didn’t really want the children to have too much contact with Sha, but there was no need to hide such a small matter. "It was sent by the Beast Father of your new little brother or sister. He’s... from the Ghost Clan, I suppose."
"The Ghost Clan, huh? No wonder. That place is very suitable for growing Blood Soul Fruit."
Little Apple was a sharp one. He could tell his mother didn’t want to say more, so he didn’t press the issue.
Little Rose also understood why her mother had called her over. She smiled, revealing a few cute little white teeth. "I can use my Life Law to sprout this seed!"
"Can you successfully bring it to life?"
"Bringing it to life is no problem~ But to get the tree to bear Blood Soul Fruit, it has to absorb an equivalent amount of energy to convert into fruit. Otherwise, it’ll just grow into an ordinary fruit tree," Little Rose said. "I know a place where we can plant it!"
