…
Sally cradled a Nine-tailed Celestial Fox in her arms and headed straight for the Shangshan Hall.
Seeing Xiaohao feeding Little Fengning, she walked over.
Little Shisi instinctively felt wary upon seeing Little Fengning but then appeared doubtful, as if not quite sure about something.
Little Shiwu shrank in Sally’s embrace, carefully observing Sally’s expression.
“Welly!” Sally shouted towards the door.
Welly, holding a wine glass, teleported over, “Yanyan, you, you said.”
“Who allowed you to seal his talent?” Sally sternly rebuked. She of course knew that Little Fengning’s talent could be sealed; Aunt Xiaomei could do it too, but not sealing it meant there was no need.
Welly hurriedly put away his wine glass, “The child is young, he can’t control…”
“He can’t control it, and I can’t teach him? Or do you also think that my teaching is just playing house?
“In the eyes of you old fossils, a little lab rat like me is just a damn bug, unworthy of associating with you high and mighty Divine Beasts!”
“I… I am not an Ancient Divine Beast.” Welly knew Sally was lashing out and looked pleadingly at Zi Qi, who was standing at the door.
Zi Qi nodded at him, indicating to take it on the chin for now; her temper needed to be vented or it would be bad for her health.
He then signaled all the children to leave first.
Sally knew she shouldn’t lose her temper in front of the children but she was only human, with plenty of flaws, far from perfect.
“No one leave, today I want to see who really calls the shots in this family.”
“You, it is definitely you who calls the shots.” Welly honestly undid the seal on Little Fengning’s talent.
Little Shisi’s body immediately tensed up.
Little Shiwu wanted to struggle too.
Sally bluntly placed the two of them on the dining table in front of Little Fengning and scolded sharply, “Fight! Fight hard in front of me! If you don’t die, I won’t recognize your mutual nemesis!”
The two little Heavenly Foxes, with pitiful faces, were on the verge of tears.
“No crying!” Sally pulled up a stool and watched the three of them intently.
Little Fengning looked at the two little Heavenly Foxes.
Suddenly, he giggled and reached out his chubby hands, wanting to hug Little Shisi.
Little Shisi instinctively wanted to dodge, but Sally’s gaze made him dare not move a bit.
Little Fengning hugged Little Shisi, “Brother~ Brother~”
Little Shisi immediately stiffened, looking down at Little Fengning who was hugging him.
Sally said, “What? Forgot you are number fourteen and he is number twenty. Who’s older and who’s younger, I shouldn’t need to tell you.”
“I know…” Little Shisi said with his head down, struggling to restrain his instincts.
Little Shiwu felt it was unfair that Little Fengning called Little Shisi brother and not her sister, “My rank is fifteen, I am your sister, call me sister—”
“Sister~ Sister~” Little Fengning released the stiff Little Shisi and went to hug Little Shiwu.
Little Shiwu dodged, “Your saliva!”
Sally wiped it off for Little Fengning.
Only then did Little Shiwu allow Little Fengning close enough to embrace her.
In her heart, Sally was actually tense to the extreme, having Aunt Xiaomei watch the Substitute Talisman at all times, ready to use points to pause time and separate them if there was any sign of trouble.
Seeing that they did not start a conflict, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Fear…is the most useless of feelings.
Without facing it, there is no breakthrough, let alone change.
Sally addressed Little Shisi and Little Shiwu, “You and Little Fengning are siblings born of the same mother. Haven’t we talked about it before? You should love each other. Why do I always summon you to participate in the monthly tests? Is it really because I care about that knowledge that will be useless in the future?”
Sally turned to the other children who were sitting obediently, scared by her outburst, “When you grow up, with your exceptional talents, you will inevitably leave your parents, leave your siblings, and accomplish your own worlds. I can tell you with certainty, that time will be very long.
“But while you are still little, I hope you can spend as much time together as possible. Whether it’s play fighting or even if it ends in biting and bloodshed, it doesn’t matter. In the future, these will all be priceless treasures. Memories, especially happy ones, are often short-lived and easily forgotten, so you need a lot of them, enough to leave traces through the long years.”
Mother is a Rat Clan Beastwoman, born without Talents, even despised by her own birth mother for being a weak member of the Rat People. Without Aunt Xiaomei, I don’t know how many times I would have died, and even if I were to luckily avoid accidents, I wouldn’t have lived past fifty years.
Compared to you, my life is so short. All I wish for is to see more of you during my lifetime.
Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, your dad wants you to sleep more, to avoid risks and accumulate strength so that you can grow up safely, and he’s not wrong.
But Mother wants you to experience a richer growth, as dangers are inevitable. No matter how long one lives, the only way to grow is through tempering—through repeated trials and errors, constant exploration, decision-making, struggling, understanding, accepting, and gradually perfecting the heart, then breaking through from the inside out, awakening, and growing.”
Sally used to think that speaking of such things was too premature as they were young and it would be useless. But she was wrong; they are born from Human souls but are not Human children.
Their growth has exceeded her imagination, and even now she has not fully understood it.
But they are her children. The Human soul and the deeply ingrained Earth civilization make her feel an undeniable responsibility to raise and educate them.
It doesn’t matter who the Father Beast is! Some of these Father Beasts, in fact, have never grown up themselves; they have longevity but no experience.
Actually, she, too, is growing…

Before the reversal of time, she was pressed by the Offspring System to have children, which was a part of growing.
After the reversal of time, she had other choices, becoming a special Offspring host, which was also a part of growing.
Growth is a lifelong task that no one can escape.
…
Zi Qi, holding Little Miqi in his arms and touching her curly golden hair, said, “Did you hear that? It’s better to provoke your father king than to provoke your mother.”
“Daddy~” Little Miqi hugged him, her voice soft and tender.
Zi Qi’s heart melted, “Okay, we don’t need to eat food, let’s go drink some yummy bottles of milk.”
“Daddy~ Good~” Little Miqi snuggled into his arms.
Pei Xuan, standing to the side, was envious as could be, “Frans’s Beast form is really excellent, the Human-shaped young are too endearing.”
“She’s mine now,” Zi Qi said, holding Little Miqi as he strode off.
Pei Xuan glanced into the palace, then gestured to Welly to quietly depart.
Qing Linghuan had really stirred up a big mess this time.
He liked Sally, that was true, and he was genuinely invested. But he wanted to possess her exclusively, and yet Sally gave everyone her affection without giving away her heart. Unable to win Sally’s heart, love turned into jealousy.
Sally’s summons of her offspring were just too strong, invincible!
This time, Sally directly called all her children back. Qing Linghuan either had to look up helplessly, losing two of his children, or bend down to Sally, accepting her arrangements.
…
The monthly evaluation continued, and this time Sally called over Little Shiba, who hadn’t hatched yet.
Little Shiba seemed ready to hatch and showed signs of it, but just wouldn’t come out, which puzzled Sally.
“Mom, is Little Brother afraid of the monthly evaluation? I told him about it before,” Manman asked Sally, raising her head.
Sally picked her up and touched the cute tuft of hair that had regrown on her head, “Really? Then let him participate this time.”
Manman patted Little Shiba with her wings, “That’s great, now Sister won’t get scolded by Daddy for poor performance~”
Speak of the devil.
Ming Linyuan was covered in sweat, “Yanyan, it’s so hot, do you have any ice-cold beer?”
Sally was surprised, “How do you know about this?”
“Yu Yan and Welly are drinking it, they said it’s the last bottle, and you have some here.”
“…That was during the Holy War, they always drank it.” She took out a large bucket of draft beer from her space, “Here you go.”
“By the way, from now on, your Little Shiba will also participate in the monthly evaluation,” Sally told Ming Linyuan.
Ming Linyuan looked at his slick egg of a son, “…But he?”
“No worries, he can get a zero score,” Sally said with a smile.
It was a bolt from the blue!
Ming Linyuan wobbled off with a bucket of beer.
Another has joined the ranks of those drinking away their worries…
