CHAPTER 249: CHAPTER 240 THE FOUR KIDS BATTLE JIE LING!_1

Si Yan sat up straight and asked curiously, "Really? You saw me?"

The snake Beastman nodded.

Si Yan said excitedly, "So, I not only saw the pretty 9-year-old, but also the pretty 15-year-old? And the pretty one also saw the 6-year-old and 12-year-old Little Si Yan?"

The snake Beastman let her call him whatever she wished.

His expression was tender as he embraced her, so delicate and petite, in his arms.

There wasn’t much time left, and it would be difficult to encounter such a small and huggable Si Yan again, he thought.

The youth rested his chin on her tiny shoulder.

Si Yan said, "Then for this, we really should thank Bai Feng a lot!"

Back then, the youth was spirited and arrogant, wild and willful, Si Yan recalled. He really had been a bit bad, a true Great Demon King villain. Everyone else was afraid of him, but not her.

She looked up at She Wang. The snake Beastman glanced over, not understanding why.

Si Yan smiled faintly.

Old Gecko’s mouth twitched. He hurriedly said, "You’d better not thank that bird, lest you break his heart."

After speaking, Old Gecko added, "Grandson, are you really not considering a second Beast Husband?"

Old Gecko continued relentlessly, "Look at your fertility! You got pregnant after just a few times. If you contract with a few more Beast Husbands, you can not only borrow the power of electricity, but also Bai Feng’s Pupillary Power, Ming Yan’s fire power, and Tai Seng’s ice power. You could also have all kinds of cubs; you would be invincible, I tell you!"

If looks could kill, Old Gecko would have been slain countless times by She Wang while saying these words.

Si Yan’s mouth twitched. She was a little afraid She Wang wouldn’t be able to resist beating up Old Gecko.

She quickly said, "Old Gecko, I don’t need a second Beast Husband, and you better not ask me this kind of question again in the future!"

The sky darkened ominously once more. Si Yan, She Wang, and Old Gecko all looked up.

Suddenly, the sky blazed with light as a colossal, snow-white falcon with resplendent plumage appeared high above.

It blotted out the sun, attempting to use all its power to save this collapsing world!

This breathtaking scene struck deeply into everyone’s heart.

Si Yan heard the falcon’s cries, which sounded like weeping blood.

Old Gecko said, "Bai Feng hasn’t regained his memory; he’s about to die."

Si Yan: "..."

Old Gecko said, "His responsibility is different from yours. He thinks this world is collapsing, so he’s using his life to save it. That’s his duty, even though he knows it might be futile."

Si Yan watched the alternating light and shadow in the sky, finally understanding what Old Gecko meant when he said Bai Feng was a great figure in this world.

After all, in this world, Bai Feng had raised her. Si Yan found it unbearable to watch.

She asked, "How do we tell him that this world is illusory, and to stop immediately?!"

Old Gecko said, "No need; it’s almost over."

"What do you mean?"

Old Gecko said, "Once he dies, he’ll return to the real world. His power is no longer sufficient to sustain him here; it’s almost over."

Si Yan’s nose tingled, and her eyes reddened.

Even though death in this world wasn’t real, to the Beastmen who didn’t know this world was illusory, it was a genuine death.

Bai Feng chose death to save the world.

Old Gecko patted Si Yan.

"As the High Priest, by choosing to desperately protect this illusory world, the world of inheritance will reward him."

Suddenly, the lone patch of white in the sky vanished, and rain began to fall. This rain signified that the world no longer had a High Priest.

Si Yan’s mind went quiet for a moment. Bai Feng had raised her for so many years, like a brother, like a father; how could she remain indifferent?

Then, Si Yan felt as if her body was being pulled away. She turned to look at She Wang.

She Wang seized her hand.

The world reverted to its primordial state, and every person involved in it was ejected!

...

「Inside the Divine Temple.」

Four little snake kids stared intently at their mother.

Through their anxious and expectant gazes, they saw a huge, long-feathered white falcon be the first to be thrown out!

Bai Feng, the White Eagle Beastman who had been ejected, opened his eyes wide in shock as memories of the past flooded back into his mind.

His eyes soon cleared. Under the watchful eyes of Jin Tong, She Chuan, and the four snake kids, he walked step by step to his designated seat in the Divine Temple, then began to consolidate the power the world of inheritance had bestowed upon him.

His regret remained unfulfilled, but since he had saved the world with his own body, the reward from the world of inheritance was no less than what he would have received for fulfilling his regret.

If all went smoothly, he could advance to a Golden Crystal Beastman in one go.

Bei Ji exclaimed excitedly, "Someone’s out! It’s the High Priest of White Eagle City!"

Xi Qing declared, "I’ll go ask him about Mother!"

Jin Tong was also very excited. He held the snake kids back, saying, "Wait. He’s in a special state right now. Don’t disturb him."

Just then, several more beams of light appeared on the ground.

She Wang, Ming Yan, Tai Seng, and Yin Hong all sat down, assuming various meditative postures.

Finally, Si Yan, who was in the circle of light, was also slowly lowered.

Bei Ji and Xi Qing shouted excitedly, "Mother, Mother! Mother’s coming down!"

They hadn’t seen their mother for so long; they couldn’t recall if it had been three or four months. Oh, how they missed their mother! They truly, truly missed her!

Jin Tong was excited too, but he still stopped the children. "Wait, just a little longer."

Jin Tong’s heart was thumping with excitement.

How should he reunite with his younger sister? Would she even recognize him? What if she didn’t?

However, at this thrilling moment, several people suddenly burst into the Divine Temple.

Jie Ling, her eyes bloodshot from the loss of Shi He, stormed into the Divine Temple with Ying Zhao and Yuan Dingshan.

She was startled to see all the Beastmen on the ground. Then, noticing that most of them—especially Si Yan and her companions—couldn’t move, she burst into a harsh, grating laugh. "The only ones still able to move are that weakling Beastman and those four brats! Ying Zhao, Yuan Dingshan, go destroy the Beast God’s Legacy and kill Si Yan!!!"

She still had good fortune on her side! As long as her luck held, she would kill Si Yan in one fell swoop this time!

Weakling Beastman? Jin Tong was rendered speechless.

At that moment, the four children—now a bit taller, each with three Green Crystals and one Grey Crystal adorning their heads—unhesitatingly blocked the way.

Jie Ling felt utterly humiliated, and her fury intensified. "A few little snake hatchlings whose scales haven’t even fully formed dare to resist us?!"

But Xi Qing, having used his Special Ability to hear Jie Ling’s thoughts, immediately reported, "She wants to destroy that ball of white light. It seems to be related to the Beast God. But her main goal is to kill Mother. She also wants to..." He paused. "...steal Wang? Who’s Wang?"

Dongchi and Nan Mo: "..."

Damn it! So what if they weren’t close to their trash dad? Was he someone an ugly hag like her could just snatch away?!!!

Nan Mo, without a second thought, directly activated his Special Ability: Little buddies, someone wants to bully my mom and dad! Help me!

Instantly, small wild animals, gophers, and insects from within the Divine Temple, along with wild beasts from outside, began to stir. They converged on this location at top speed.

The thunderous stampede of wild beasts stunned Jie Ling into a stupor. What is that? What is that sound? she thought, startled.

"Yuan Dingshan, Ying Zhao, go now, hurry! Kill Si Yan, destroy the Beast God’s Legacy!!"

Yuan Dingshan and Ying Zhao had just lunged forward when Dongchi stepped directly in their path.

His crimson eyes stared at the two Purple Crystal Beastmen. They suddenly experienced a moment of dazed confusion.

Dongchi was thrilled. When he’d been kidnapped by the female in the red beast-hide skirt, he had vaguely sensed he could influence the minds of others, though it wasn’t very distinct. Now that he’d tried it, it seemed to actually work!
