Chapter 471: Let me celebrate your birthday, okay?

Before Su Yan went to the Beast Palace, Zi Qi came to find her first. He looked very haggard, and his purple eyes were less lively and more dark.

Su Yan was holding a broom and sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard. There was a storm last night, and a lot of leaves were blown into the backyard, and even some unknown green fruits.

Seeing Ziqi, Su Yan blinked, then handed him the broom in her hand, "Help me clean the yard, I'll have an open-air barbecue."

"Yanyan...Okay." Ziqi took the broom.

Su Yan watched him scan bit by bit, and he glanced at her from time to time.

"The children's results this time are not ideal. I will keep a close eye on them." Ziqi said to Su Yan.

"No, just study at the pace they are used to. And this monthly exam doesn't count. I took the wrong test paper and wanted to make up for it, but Qing Linghuan disagreed and made a scene with the kids, so the results are like this."

"I heard from Xiao Qi that Zulu..."

"I resurrected him." Su Yan looked at Zi Qi, "I also want to apologize to you for doubting you at that time."

"It doesn't matter. If it were me, I would also be suspicious."

Su Yan set up the barbecue rack and asked Bai Kaixin to prepare some side dishes and wine, then she started grilling.

Ziqi just watched her busying around silently, not knowing what to say or do, so he just kept silent and just drank.

"I went to the South District." Su Yan started talking as she smelled the sizzling aroma of meat.

Ziqi tightened his grip on the empty wine glass and waited for her next words.

"You gave him the mermaid pearl?"

"……Um."

"The mermaid pearl contains his memories, so he remembered the past and wanted to raise Xiao Qi himself."

"He also told me that he originally didn't plan to return to the South District, but after meeting Xiao Qi at the academy, he decided to go back."

"How well does your majesty know the South District?"

"Except for a small number of islands and forest areas, most of the southern region is made up of rivers, oceans, and lakes. The Blue Sea in particular is not only the largest in area, but is also where the Southern Region's Sea King Capital is located."

“I see that the waters of the southern region are very vast, almost connecting to other continents.”

"Yes. But the distance between the continents is also very far. Even if you leave the waters of the southern region, there is still a large open sea separating them. The real resources and power of the southern region are not in the waters above, but on the seabed."

"The bottom of the sea...it feels very dark and cold." Su Yan frowned slightly.

Maybe this topic was within Ziqi's comfort zone, so his tone became more and more comfortable, and his expression also looked much better.

"There is another world under the sea. Beyond the darkness - the deep blue abyss, there is the ancient land of Luoya, also known as the land that never sleeps. It was once the place where the sea gods lived."

"Luoya Ancient Land..." Su Yan seemed to be thinking about something.

"If Xiaoqi wants to go back, I won't stop him." Ziqi said suddenly.

Su Yan glanced at him and handed him the grilled skewers. "Here."

Ziqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to take it, "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Su Yan said with a smile, "I'll just treat it as your birthday, okay?"

"..." Ziqi's eyes brightened, "You know?"

"Of course I know. It was just that the mission was urgent, and I had to earn points to revive Zulu, so I left." Su Yan smiled and said, "Happy birthday."

"Hmm." Ziqi took a bite of the skewer, eyes full of joy, "Very delicious."

"Then eat more... Wait a minute, didn't I prepare a birthday present for you and ask Xiaoqi to give it to you?" Su Yan looked at him.

Ziqi paused, "..."

Su Yan laughed, "Your daughter has intercepted me again."

Ziqi was embarrassed, "She usually takes possession of anything that interests her. I will tell her about it later."

"It's okay. Well, I'm from the Rat Clan, and these babies have inherited some of my bad habits." Su Yan handed him two more strings of skewers. "It was Xiao Qi's own decision. She said she would stay with you until she grows up. If she has to go to the sea, she will tell you herself. You just let her go. After she grows up, it's completely up to her. She can go wherever she wants."

Ziqi took a sip of wine and readily agreed, "Okay."

Su Yan glared at him and said, "But you'd better prepare two heirs. What if Xiao Qi really goes back to the sea? What will happen to the East District?"

Ziqi was very open-minded about this. "Good kings and good generals are hard to find. They don't necessarily have to be my children. The future is still far away, so let's wait and see. And if they have a better world, even if they want to stay here, I won't agree."

"Well, it's up to you." Su Yan took a bite of the skewers she had grilled, and then her face darkened...

No salt!

Looking at Ziqi eating delicious food mouthful by mouthful, he asked, "Don't you have a sense of taste?"

"No, it's Yanyan who baked it and it's delicious."

"..."

……

"You mean, there are now twelve wars between gods, and the Shura Realm and the God Realm are tied?" Su Yan put the matter of the war between gods aside, because she always felt that it had little to do with her.

Plus, there's another mission coming out, so mentioning it now is just like a trivial topic.

Ziqi looked at her. The 9908 continent was actually very dangerous for Su Yan. The God Realm sent the God Warriors to look for her several times.

Fortunately, she has not been here for more than three months, avoiding wave after wave of searches.

"There are many forces in the Beast World that have surrendered to the Gods. They are looking for you."

"Looking for me?" Su Yan was stunned. "Why are you looking for me?"

Ziqi took out a letter from the space ring and said, "Someone once came with this to ask about your whereabouts. This is a copy. As for information about you, I have issued a gag order for the entire continent."

"It's not that serious, and not many people know me." Su Yan opened the letter - mother (big smiley face) saw the words and Ruer, opened the letter and Shu Yan...

"Is this a letter from Xiao Twelve?" Su Yan was a little surprised when she saw the handwriting on the letter, and then continued reading.

After reading it, he said, "Let the other kids practice their writing skills. There are quite a few typos."

Ziqi: "...What about Little Twelve?"

"Him?" Su Yan asked Xiao Mei to check on Xiao Twelve's condition. He was sleeping now, and had gained five kilograms. His innate abilities had also greatly improved. "He's doing very well."

At worst, he still had a cheap master following him, even though he was a little unreliable. But if he really encountered a life-or-death situation, he would not stand idly by.

"Haha, I thought you would be anxious." Ziqi handed her a wet wipe, "The right corner of your mouth."

Su Yan took it, wiped the corner of her mouth, and it was covered with a little charcoal ash. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have the children's substitute amulets. Every child... no matter where they are, they will be safe. As long as I am alive, they will not have to worry about their lives.

There is also a fostering mode that allows me to clearly understand their status, the progress of their innate mysteries, and even who didn’t sleep well or has poor mental strength. ”

Spending 500,000 child-bearing points to specially open the child-raising mode is definitely not in vain.

Ziqi stared at her with bright eyes, "When Yanyan was not back, I felt that the sky was dark. After you came back..."

"It's getting darker! Hahaha~" Su Yan said playfully and handed the freshly grilled skewers of meat to Ziqi.

Ziqi took it and chuckled, as if expressing genuine joy from the bottom of his heart.
