Senyu Beast Forest.
‘Achoo~’ Sally’s nose tickled, and she couldn’t help but sneeze.
Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Little Shiqi, who were digging in the soil under a big tree, all looked at her.
Sally looked at their dirt-covered heads and laughed out loud, “Knowing you’re Divine Beasts, someone might have thought you were three little dogs.”
“Mom, we dug up a treasure,” said Little Shiwu.
Sally moved closer, “What treasure?”
Little Shiwu passed a Storage Bag to Sally, “This one here.”
Sally took it, [Xiaomei, does this Storage Bag belong to anyone?]
Xiaomei replied: [It is ownerless now.]
Sally turned the Storage Bag upside down and gave it a gentle shake, spilling out a few boxes and some Crystal Coins among other things.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
Little Shiwu sniffed the boxes, raised a small paw, and lightly tapped one, breaking it…
Sally was astonished.
Inside were boxes of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and they were all at least Holy-grade!
Little Shiqi, following the example, also broke open a box, which also contained Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Little Shisi, smelling those things, suddenly brightened up and continued to dig, his fluffy tail wagging happily.
Sally was curious, what was he digging for now?
After a short while, Little Shisi came up with something golden and shiny in his mouth.
Sally looked closely!
Heh~ it was her eleventh-ranked Rat Clan son!
Glancing back at the Storage Bag, she understood.
They were playing hide-and-seek, and finding him meant winning.
Shiyi had first hidden inside a Storage Bag, thinking they would stop digging if they found it, but Little Shisi saw through his trick and dug him out anyway.
“Alright, alright, you’ve won. These things are yours,” Shiyi said, shaking his body to dust off the loose soil from his golden fur.
Immediately, Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Little Shiqi started to divide the treasures that had fallen out of the Storage Bag.
Sally, holding onto Shiyi, kissed his forehead, “Rat Clan is the best at burrowing, why didn’t you run?”
“If it were too difficult, they wouldn’t have found me,” Shiyi replied honestly.
Sally: “…”
“Who are we finding next?” Little Shiwu asked Little Shiqi.
“Sister Xiaoqi, Yona, and Shishi Sister went to pick fruit,” Little Shiqi replied.
“Sister Xiaoqi?” Little Shiwu swung his fluffy tail and squatted, looking silently and speechlessly at Little Shiqi.
Little Shiqi also squatted down, his tail sweeping back and forth like a broom, “What’s wrong, Sister Shiwu?”
Little Shiwu said nothing.
Little Shisi said, “Do you think we’ll be able to find Sister Xiaoqi?”
“Brother Shiyi can find her,” Little Shiqi replied.
Little Shisi looked towards Shiyi.
Shiyi told the three of them, “I can help if you want, but all the things from the Storage Bag just now have to be returned to me.”
“Give it to him, share with Sister Xiaoqi,” Little Shiwu’s beautiful fox eyes narrowed, his paw slapped the ground, seemingly making a final decision.
Little Shiqi spun around happily, “Let’s pick something from Sister Xiaoqi’s treasury.”
Little Shisi nodded, “That’s right, catch the richest one.”
The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which had just been divided and not even warmed up, were returned…
Shiyi discerned the direction and ran towards the depths of the Beast Forest.
The other three quickly followed.
Sally released the System Map, and now her map had expanded to cover a radius of one kilometer, so the little ones’ every move was under her control.
Xiaoqi was busy digging holes, having dug a hundred and seven of them, with each hole containing one Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure.
Suddenly, she stopped, perked up her ears to listen, and then climbed up a nearby tree…
Watching Xiaoqi’s actions, Sally laughed out loud, “They’re getting more cunning by the minute.”
Zi Qi teleported over, saw her laughing, and asked, “What are you laughing at?”
Sally replied, “Xiaoqi has dug a lot of holes on the ground and placed a treasure in each. Now she’s hidden herself up in the tree while Little Shiyi, Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Little Shiqi are busily digging holes to gather treasures and find Xiaoqi.”
“Let them play,” Zi Qi said as he took her hand, matching her pace as they continued walking toward the Beast Forest, “Tomorrow is the day of the monthly test. Aren’t you going to call the other children over?”
“We’ll do that tomorrow. These few have already scared my dad witless; let him get used to it for another night.” Sally remembered how Auro had fainted upon seeing Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, Little Shiyi, Little Shisi, Little Shiwu, and Little Shiqi.
When he woke up, he just kept chuckling foolishly.
“Should Little Miqi come as well?” Zi Qi asked, very fond and concerned about this newly charmed little Angel daughter.
Sally smiled, “Yes, let her come over too.”
Xiaoqi lay on the treetop, a leaf on her head perfectly concealing her body, squinting her eyes into crescent moons with joy as she watched her four siblings follow the trail of holes she had dug in search of her.
Suddenly, a bright green snake set its sights on Xiaoqi.
Sally noticed it on the System Map and stopped in her tracks.
Zi Qi, sensing something was amiss, asked, “What’s wrong?”
“A snake has targeted Xiaoqi,” Sally replied.
“What Talent does it have?”
“No Talent, just an ordinary poisonous snake.”
“Then it’s nothing to worry about.” Zi Qi let go of her hand and picked a small purple flower from a cluster of flora, “I’ll put this on you.”
Sally looked at him with amusement, “Does it look good?”
“Yes,” Zi Qi said as he pulled her into his embrace, “Yanyan, I’ve touched the edge of the God Rank.”
“That’s great news,” Sally laughed, “Congratulations, you’re almost catching up to your youngest son’s level.”
“…”
The snake bit Xiaoqi’s tail.
Because of the pain, her originally still body reflexively moved.
Little Shiwu happened to hear the sound and looked up. A flash of white tail had retracted between the leaves.
“Found you, Sister Xiaoqi, you’re up in the tree.”
Little Shisi, Little Shiqi, and Little Shiyi, who had been digging, popped their heads out of the holes.
Annoyed, Xiaoqi slapped the snake to death with her paw and tossed it down the tree, “All its fault, biting my tail.”
“Thank you, Little Green.” Little Shiyi stepped forward, buried the snake in one of the holes Xiaoqi had dug, then said to Xiaoqi, “We found you, what’s the reward?”
Xiaoqi was straightforward, “What do you want?”
Little Shisi said, “We want to choose something from Sister Xiaoqi’s treasure trove.”
“Okay.” Xiaoqi immediately took out a Storage Bag and poured out its contents.
An extraordinarily rich aroma of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures quickly spread out…
Yona and Shishi, who were nearby picking fruit, caught the scent of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, immediately abandoned their foraging, and followed the scent.
Sally laughed, “Xiaoqi has shown her wealth.”
Zi Qi, too, had noticed the rich fragrance and said helplessly, “This is the Beast Forest; it might attract something.”
…
Jiushen Mountain.
The gigantic Nine-tailed Celestial Fox lay like a snow-white mountain peak amidst a sea of exotic flowers and plants. Its sullen breath came out in a way that even the surrounding flowers and grass seemed to wilt.
Occasionally, it would raise its head to sniff the air, wondering if Little Shisi and Shiyi had returned.
But they hadn’t!
For a total of one hundred and fifty-three days, she’d been steadfastly refusing to return the children to him!
