Chapter 494 A Family of Four?

For some reason, Yu Zhizhi had a feeling. Although the favorability ratings for Big Tiger, Dracula, and Yu Ling of the Cat Clan weren’t very high, she felt it was only a matter of time before she left this world.

’Could it be...’

’That the Duke, who she thought would be the hardest to win over, was temporarily stable?’

In any case, when she saw the Spider Cub and the Mermaid Cub, an idea slowly began to form in her mind.

’If she completed the mission and returned to her own world...’

’...what would happen to this world?’

’Could she ever come back?’

’System, are you there?’

Yu Zhizhi called out softly in her mind.

The System rarely appeared. Aside from issuing missions and unlocking rewards, it was as if it didn’t exist.

After waiting a moment, Yu Zhizhi asked again:

’Satan, are you there?’

’After I max out the favorability ratings and return to my original world, what about this place...’

’Can I still come back to the Beast World Planet?’

Yu Zhizhi blurted out all her questions at once.

The System finally responded.

[System: The host can redeem a Space Shuttle Card by completing missions.]

[System: After reaching the max level, missions will no longer be automatically activated. If the host requires one, they can be selected from the mission board.]

Yu Zhizhi: ’What kind of missions are they?’

System: [All types.]

The mission board unlocked after reaching the max level contained a bizarre variety of missions.

System: [Mission difficulty varies, as do the rewards.]

Yu Zhizhi sat on the steps by the flowerbed. She looked at the brilliant golden flower buds at her feet. ’So...’

’Even after I return to the real world, the System will still exist.’

In the distance.

The little whale wanted to play with the Spider Cub, so it spat out a transparent bubble, enveloping the cub.

The little grayish-white spider looked around in a panic, discovering that its body was slowly rising into the air with the bubble.

Its dark, bright eyes instantly filled with a watery mist.

Before it could cry, the little whale sighed, "CHIRP~"

As if to say, ’what a scaredy-cat’.

The bubble it spat out slowly descended, landing safely in the flowerbed.

The Spider Cub slowly crawled out.

The little whale made a water vapor bubble for itself, flopping onto it and looking like it was lazily sunbathing.

After its initial hostility toward the Spider Cub, it was now filled with curiosity.

It stared at the Little Spider.

The Spider Cub turned its back, hid in a shady spot, and slowly used its silk to wrap around the small red fruits on a low vine nearby.

It picked a pile of little red fruits.

It carefully hid them under its body, as if afraid someone would snatch them away.

The Spider Cub moved its tiny spider body, heading toward the female of the Rabbit Clan.

It arrived in front of Yu Zhizhi.

With a huff and a puff, it lifted the hidden red fruits with its spider limbs, struggling to offer them to her.

"Are these for me?" Yu Zhizhi’s heart warmed. She took them gently. "Thank you, Little Grey."

The Spider Cub gave a happy smile.

This was the first time Yu Zhizhi had seen it smile, and it was a pure and innocent one.

It shifted its round, plump spider body and leaned quietly against Yu Zhizhi’s feet.

Back in Paradise, it rarely went out to play.

It liked to stay alone in dark, hidden corners.

The sun in the territory was scorching, making it a bit uncomfortable for a moment.

But it had no thought of running away.

’Because Mother is here.’

’It just wanted to snuggle up next to Mother.’

Meanwhile, Yusen sat down beside Yu Zhizhi. He took the red fruits from the young female’s hand, opened his palm slightly, and used his Ice Qi to form a mist that washed the fruits clean before handing them back to her.

Yu Zhizhi took them and took a small bite. It was sweet with a hint of sourness, and the texture was a bit like unripe cherries.

"Sensen, you have some too." Yu Zhizhi shared with him.

She didn’t forget Little Grey Jade either.

She picked up a small red fruit and offered it to the cub, as if to feed it.

The Spider Cub froze for a second. It leaned over a bit shyly, bared its white teeth, and bit into the little red fruit.

The little whale watched them with a resentful look.

It lay on its round water bubble, its tail drooping, and the glint of tears could be seen in its eyes.

How could Yu Zhizhi forget it?

She stretched her hand toward Sui Sui. "Come on~"

The Mermaid Cub’s eyes instantly lit up. It controlled its water bubble to fly over, letting out a cheerful and infectious "GIGGLE GIGGLE GIGGLE."

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t help but laugh. She popped a small red fruit into the little whale’s mouth and gave it a pat.

"Sui Sui was great today."

Sui Sui had taken the initiative to invite the Spider Cub to play. Although they were still distant, the sight of the two little cubs together was heartwarming no matter how you looked at it.

The Spider Cub blinked its eyes, uncomprehending.

’It...’

’...could also feel Mother’s joy.’

It lowered its head and bit its own spider limb. ’Now it knew. It would have to interact more with the little whale in the future, because Mother liked it.’

Outside the castle, Jialou watched the scene in the flowerbed, still a little surprised.

After all, this wasn’t a family of three.

There was an additional cub from another Beast Clan.

But they got along so harmoniously, looking just like a family of four on an outing.

Jialou smiled and walked toward the flowerbed. "...My apologies, Lady Lord. Please forgive me for interrupting you."

Seeing the young knight, Yu Zhizhi stood up. "Is it time for you to return to Sun Ridge?"

She remembered Jialou had said he would leave after Sensen arrived.

The young knight nodded. "Yes, Lady Lord. I must first return to the Alliance to attend the Knight King’s funeral. Once I arrive, I will email you about my subsequent itinerary."

After he left, there would be no one in the territory to temporarily replace him as the Guard Commander.

If Prince You Sen hadn’t arrived, it would have been difficult for Jialou to leave with peace of mind.

"Okay, then. Be safe on the road. If you need anything, just tell Ai Xi. Make sure you have plenty of supplies for the long journey. In short... remember to contact me after you arrive safely."

"Yes, I will." Jialou performed a standard knight’s salute.

He couldn’t help but add, "This is a wonderful territory, and you are a—wonderful lord."

Being so suddenly acknowledged made Yu Zhizhi a little shy.

She smiled.

The young knight left the flowerbed.

Watching his retreating back, Yu Zhizhi suddenly thought of Wild Dog. He was at Sun Ridge the whole time. She hadn’t been able to see him last time; she wondered how he was doing now.

She’d heard that the Knight Alliance was in complete chaos internally.

"Your communicator," Yusen reminded her. "It’s ringing."

Yu Zhizhi snapped back to her senses. She pulled out a white communicator and, seeing the number on the screen, said with some surprise, "Zero?"

This call was actually from the Divine Hall Alliance.

Yu Zhizhi answered, and the voice of the young man from the Cat Clan came from the other end. "It’s me."

"Mhm, I know. I saved this number." Yu Zhizhi was quite happy to receive Yu Ling’s call. She rarely contacted the young man from the Cat Clan. Aside from attending meetings in the Divine Hall Illusion Realm, they almost never interacted privately.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?" Yu Zhizhi asked softly.
