Chapter 1288: Chapter 1286: Already Flirting So Early?
Sally pointed to the sky and gently smiled, “Just like you, fell from the sky.”
Seeing her smiling at them, Jian curiously asked Huan, “Do you know her?”
“…No,” Huan replied.
Jian looked at Sally, pondering, “Have we met somewhere before? You seem familiar.”
Upon hearing this, Sally contemplated for a moment, “What era is it now? Ancient, Primordial, Arcane, or God and Demon?”
Hearing her speak so familiarly about epoch progress, the two exchanged glances.
“God and Demon,” Jian asked, “Do you know us both?”
Sally walked over to Jian, grabbed his arm, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips…
“Stamped! If you dare flirt with other goddesses, I’ll make you kneel on durians and handle all the durian desserts at Dingshi Building for ten thousand years!” Sally recalled Jian’s past rumors with the Female War God Lian.
It would be a lie to say she didn’t care.
Jian finally remembered who she was!
“You’re Sally!” Jian finally remembered, “Where’s your belly?”
“Of course, I gave birth, to a very handsome and intelligent baby boy,” Sally replied.
Huan looked at the two of them, more confused the more he listened, “What exactly is your relationship?”
“My partner.” Jian pulled Sally into his arms, grinning and boasting.
Huan was stunned, “Weren’t you pursuing Lian?”
“Lian?” Sally squinted at him, “Already making connections so early, huh.”
“No! Absolutely not,” Jian instinctively denied.
“Even if there was, cut it off, don’t make me come after you,” Sally suddenly recalled, that the Heavenly Dao was chosen by Jian, and at this time, he had lost two heads…
“How many heads do you have now?” Sally asked.
Jian glanced at her, smiling playfully, “Want to see my Beast Body?”
Instantly, Sally fell silent.
Suddenly raising her hand, she slapped her forehead, what an impulsive move.
After the Heavenly Dao entered the Reincarnation Tribulation, Jian had once said a sentence, which she took as a joke at the time — [Why don’t we change a Heavenly Dao…] if she intervened too much now, this sentence might really come true.
The Reincarnation Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao… he wanted to start a mundane relationship anew with her, which means, at this time, he’s actually a mere mortal.
“Um, I still have things to do, you go on with yours,” Sally said and then teleported away.
Jian hurried to pursue, but Sally was no longer in sight, couldn’t even detect her presence.
“Where did she go?”
“I just discovered Tribulation Qi on her, she came due to a tribulation.”
“Why is it always a tribulation…”
*******
Sally restrained her aura, sinking into thought.
Her Childbirth Tribulation during the Ascension Divine Tribulation was resolved through childbirth.
How should the Reincarnation Tribulation be resolved?
Sally could not figure it out after much thought, so she decided to go with the flow first.
Not far away there was a pier, with many boats docked.
Sally transformed her appearance into an ordinary woman and walked over to the pier, inquiring around and learned that she was in the capital of Da Yao Country — Dongyang City Jing River Pier.
It was around 3 a.m. to 5 a.m. Traveling by boat would allow her to enter the city just when the gates open.
Aboard with her were also a mother and daughter. The mother looked somewhat weathered, with half her hair white, the daughter was beautiful and charming, holding a basket of eggs in her arms.
“Boatman, I’d like to ask if there’s anything new in the capital?” Sally asked the boatman.
The boatman replied, “First time coming to the capital, young lady?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder, the liveliest thing in the capital right now is the Emperor’s upcoming selection of concubines.”
“Selection of concubines?”
The boatman glanced at the mother and daughter and continued, “We can’t say much, taboo of the Imperial Family. Right now, high officials and dignitaries from various places are looking for foster daughters of excellent appearance and character for consideration, young lady might want to give it some thought.”
Sally understood.
It seems the Emperor, has personality issues. Those nobles don’t want to send their own daughters to the palace, so they find a foster daughter to send in.
If she gains favor, she’s considered their own daughter, reaping all the benefits. If not, or if she angers the Emperor, they will sever ties immediately, having no blood relation, thus avoiding entanglement.
Raising her eyes, she saw the mother and daughter sitting opposite her, especially the daughter, clutching the egg basket tightly, perhaps she was to become someone’s foster daughter.
Could the Emperor be the Heavenly Dao?
She remembered Jian had casually mentioned, the Heavenly Dao was an orphan.
She should have asked what his real name was at the time.
Little Xinxin grew up with the Heavenly Dao, but his name was a single character — Xin, without even a surname.
Little Meimei took Zi Qi’s surname, Zi Yumei, and later the Heavenly Dao never changed it, just kept that name.
Perhaps, the Heavenly Dao fundamentally disliked his mundane name, it mustn’t be a good name.
Dog Egg? Leftover Cat? Tiger Cub? Dunce… Sally’s thoughts ran wild.
The boat entered the capital, finally stopping at the moat pier.
The sky was beginning to brighten.
The mother and daughter collectively gave the boatman four cents.
Sally didn’t have any Copper Coins. Her gaze shifted, she reached into the river, retrieving some lost treasures from the riverbed into her hand.
“Thank you, boatman.” Sally handed the boatman a Golden Leaf.
“Ah, I can’t make change for this,” the boatman said hurriedly.
“No need, consider the extra as payment for enlightening me along the way,” Sally smiled.
“Thank you, young lady,” the boatman was overjoyed, “Next time you take a boat, old fellow won’t charge you.”
“Alright.” Sally left the pier.
Not knowing the time ratio between the God and Demon mortal world and the Primordial Beast World… If it’s one to one, in ten days, she absolutely couldn’t find the Heavenly Dao.
A carriage approached Sally from the front.
The carriage had the Song Family crest and Crane Pattern totem, causing passersby to avoid it.
Sally was staring at candied hawthorn in a daze, the bright red candied hawthorn, under the morning sun, reflected a dazzling golden-red, just like her young son’s eyes.
“Boss, I’ll take them all!” Sally said to the candied hawthorn vendor.
The carriage curtain happened to be lifted by the wind, revealing a face so stunning it made the sunrise pale in comparison.
Sally felt something and turned to look.
She was stunned!
Heavenly Dao?!
Just moments ago, she said she didn’t know where to find him, and here he was?
Moreover, she always thought the Heavenly Dao’s face was fake, something he conjured up himself.
Unexpectedly, this face was real…
“Ziqian, stop,” Song Zhuo commanded.
“Yes, what does the Lord wish?” The coachman raised the whip, stopping the carriage.
Song Zhuo looked at the candied hawthorn, saying to the vendor, “Two skewers of candied hawthorn.”
“This…” The vendor immediately became troubled.
Sally said, “I bought them all first.”
The vendor nodded, “Yes, yes, yes.”
But he dared not offend Song Zhuo, “Lord, why don’t I go home and bring some more, personally deliver them to the State Duke Mansion.”
“Madam, could you spare two skewers?” Song Zhuo said to Sally.
Madam… madam?!
Hearing how he addressed her, the corner of Sally’s mouth twitched, and her face became progressively darker!
