Chapter 294: Returning the Snake Egg
After the three children fell asleep.
Sang Luo asked Lou Xian Yue, "In these past few months, has there been any activity at the Eye of Guixu? Has there been another large-scale outbreak of demonic beasts?"
Lou Xian Yue shook his head, "The Eye of Guixu has not shown any abnormal energy fluctuations. There are still some demonic beasts remaining in the Beast World Continent, but there hasn't been another large-scale demonic beast tide in recent years. Overall, it's maintaining a dynamic balance. These demons... seem to have retreated after the last time."
"The demons are ambitious and greedy. They wouldn't give up on the Beast World so easily. Quan Jin must have done a lot in the Void Demon Realm these past few years to stabilize the situation on the demon side." Sang Luo frowned, "He's always been thorough in his actions, but it's been so long since we've heard from him, I'm a little worried. Can the Eye of Guixu be accessed from the outside...?"
"No, it's too risky!"
Lou Xian Yue immediately interrupted her.
He would absolutely not agree to do that!
The worst outcome would just be that she loses a beastman husband. A male beast's life isn't worth much. She has so many beastman husbands by her side, losing one wouldn't make much of a difference, but she absolutely cannot be in danger.
Sang Luo understood Lou Xian Yue's feelings, but when emotions are involved, there are always attachments that are hard to let go of.
"Let's wait and see. The soul imprint is still there, so at least his life isn't in danger. Perhaps he's been held up by other matters."
"Okay." Lou Xian Yue hugged Sang Luo, pursed his lips, and said, "Don't think so much, let's get some sleep."
"Is there something you want to tell me?" How could Sang Luo not see his hesitation?
Lou Xian Yue's handsome face turned slightly red, "Well, it's not a big deal. It's nothing urgent. If you have other things to do..."
"I'm not busy, I'm very free."
Sang Luo looked at him with a smile.
They had been together for so many years, like an old married couple. Lou Xian Yue's blushing and shy appearance reminded Sang Luo of Aze when they first met.
Lou Xian Yue pressed his forehead against hers and whispered, "I haven't even had time to give you a proper wedding."
He sounded a little aggrieved.
"You want to have a wedding?"
Lou Xian Yue looked at her with bright blue eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
Sang Luo kissed him on the corner of his lips, her eyebrows curved in a smile, "Then leave it to Aze to handle it well, and don't disappoint me."
Lou Xian Yue was both surprised and delighted, "I'll go prepare right away."
"Hey—" No need to be in such a hurry!
She couldn't even stop him.
Sang Luo yawned. Her appetite had been good these past few days, and she always felt sleepy after eating. She looked at the three little ones sleeping soundly beside her and slowly fell asleep too.
Drowsily.
It felt like a cool but gentle kiss landed on her lips.
Sang Luo tried hard to lift her heavy eyelids, but she couldn't open them no matter what. Her consciousness gradually became chaotic again...
Little Qi, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the tall, slender black-robed man standing by the bed, his whole body shrouded in a stern, cold aura, with fresh blood splattered on his robe, as if he had rushed back from the battlefield.
His silver eyes lit up, and he almost shouted, "Dad—"
"Shhh."
Quan Jin held a finger to his lips.
Little Qi quickly closed his mouth and wagged his tail excitedly.
He leaned closer and smelled the bloody scent on Quan Jin's body, making sure the blood was someone else's before he felt relieved, and whispered, "Daddy, where have you been these past few years? I miss you so much, and Mom misses you too."
"I..." Quan Jin's gaze fell on Sang Luo, who was sleeping on the bed, "How has your mother been recently?"
"Mom is fine, she eats well and sleeps well. The uncles take good care of Mom."
"..." Quan Jin's throat choked, "That's good."
He took out a white egg from his space.
Little Qi held back a scream and became even more excited, "Daddy, you brought my sister back!"
"Yes, now your mother should be relieved." Quan Jin placed the white egg beside her, and Little Qi immediately coiled around the egg.
These past few years in the Demon Realm, Quan Jin rarely showed any other emotions on his face. Seeing this scene, the corners of his lips slightly twitched in an unfamiliar way. He reached out and touched Little Qi's head, "Dad has some things to take care of. When Dad is not here, take good care of your mother and sister."
Little Qi rubbed against his palm, reluctant to part, "Daddy, are you leaving again?"
"Yes."
"Aren't you going to say hello to Mom? Why did Daddy use mental energy to put Mom to sleep?"
Quan Jin was speechless. This child was very perceptive and intelligent.
He had now completely broken ties with the Lord of the Demon Realm. After years of secret planning, he had taken control of nearly half of the Demon Realm's forces and had the capital to challenge the Lord of the Demon Realm.
But it was far from enough.
He still had one last thing to do before he could completely eliminate his worries and return to her side.
If... he couldn't come back...
He didn't want her to be worried every day.
Quan Jin bent down and gently stroked Sang Luo's face with his fingers. His figure slowly disappeared into the air...
......
......
Sang Luo had a very heavy dream.
She dreamed that Quan Jin had returned. When she opened her eyes, she was still in the Sea Emperor Palace.
Sighing, she reached out and touched something cold, smooth, and round beside her. Looking down, it was a... white egg!
Covered in obscure purple patterns.
This was her own snake egg!
That dream...
Sang Luo looked at Little Qi, who had woken up, "Did your dad come?"
Little Qi nodded, "Dad came secretly, afraid that Mom would worry, and then he left."
"He came and left without saying a word, which makes me even more worried." Sang Luo sighed. The stone that had always been hanging in her heart had finally fallen to the ground. He was fine, and he was able to bring his little daughter back, which meant that his power in the Demon Realm was steadily growing.
"Next time your dad comes back, you secretly wake Mom up."
"Okay!"
Lou Xian Yue came back in the evening and was stunned when he saw the white egg Sang Luo was holding in her arms, "This is..."
"Little Qi's biological sister. Quan Jin came back and left again, bringing it back."
"It seems that there will be a new set of bowls and chopsticks at home in the future. If Quan Jin has a hard time coming back, I can take care of these two children." Lou Xian Yue's blue eyes lit up.
"Ha~ You already have two children, and if you have two more, you won't be able to handle four children."
"I don't mind having more." He loved every child she bore and treated them as his own, "Besides, the children are very obedient, so it's easy to raise them."
"That's because you've never raised Little Zhenzhen!"
More than a month later, Lou Xian Yue personally organized the wedding, a belated grand banquet.
Several beastman husbands were also invited to the banquet.
Fei Yuan was arranged in the front row with the best view, squinting his phoenix eyes, drinking wine, and feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.
Si Ye and Lan Cang had both held mate-seeking ceremonies with Sang Luo, so they had no regrets and sent their blessings and gifts.
The little ones were also under the stage. Their eyes were only on eating and drinking, and at most, they exclaimed, "Mom and Uncle Lou are dressed so grandly and beautifully today," and had no other thoughts.
Lou Xian Yue stood on the platform, who had been calm and composed when he was crowned, now seemed like a young male beast who had just come of age, so nervous that he had not slept all night.
