Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System

Chapter 1255: Do You Still Yearn for Life?



******

Chexus Aslanda lay on the wide luxurious bed, critically ill, his entire being aged and emaciated, eye sockets deeply sunken, face a dark shade.

The young and handsome Emperor Enzo Yaslanda handed a photo to Chexus, "Father Emperor, look, who is she?"

Chexus slowly opened his eyes, one eye cloudy and dim, the other completely devoid of light.

The dim gaze suddenly burst into an astonishing light upon seeing the person in the photo.

"She's here!"

"Yes, Father Emperor."

"Where is she?"

"On Feiyesa Star, the finals of the Yago Cup are about to start, she's there, likely to watch the competition."

Chexus looked at the young, handsome Jun beside her, so young and beautiful, perfectly matching with her.

Sally was holding Little Meimei and Little Chang Le's hands, strolling through the toy store.

The two little ones didn't choose anything, because they had many toys, even better ones than these.

Sally chose a doll for Little Meimei, "Do you like it?"

"Mom, if I want this doll, can we go to the water park?"

Sally looked at Little Chang Le, he too was full of hope, "Alright, let's head there now."

In the end, Sally bought two dolls, one for each child, and under the warm farewell of the toy store's staff, they left the store.

As soon as they stepped outside, a group of special guards surrounded her and the two children, and then a long, luxurious custom car stopped in front of them.

Sally first stored the two children into the System Space.

A tall, handsome, and noble man got out of the car, walked up to Sally, and respectfully kneeled on one knee, "Auntie Su, I am Little Qiu'er."

"Little Qiu'er?" Sally looked at him in surprise, indeed seeing the youthful face of Chexus in him, she patted his shoulder, "No need to be so formal, is your father well?"

Enzo opened the car compartment, inside it was entirely a critical care compartment, and an elderly man on the brink of death lay on the bed.

His body had collapsed, as if already dead, but the monitors still emitted faint heartbeats.

It was hanging by a thread... Sally looked at Enzo, then at the dying old man, and got into the car.

Enzo followed her in and ordered the driver to move on.

The toy store owner kept staring at that car, but couldn't see who got in due to the guards blocking the view.

But it definitely wasn't ordinary people!

Yan Ze was resting in the hotel suite, constantly using the System Map to watch where Sally and the children went.

Suddenly, Sally and the children's markers vanished from the map.

Yan Ze's expression slightly changed, then he hacked into nearby surveillance to investigate.

[Xiaomei, can you heal him?] Sally asked Xiaomei.

Xiaomei replied, [Yes, Host.]

Sally held Chexus's withered hand, "Do you still cling to life?"

Beside her, Enzo kneeled on the ground, tears in his eyes, "Auntie Su, save my Father Emperor."

"That depends on his wish." Sally replied.

"Father Emperor, Auntie Su is here, wake up! Wake up—" Enzo knelt by the bedside, "You must live, your son cannot lose you."

Chexus slowly opened his eyes, looked at Sally, then turned his gaze to Enzo, after a moment he looked back to Sally and finally blinked.

Sally patted his hand, "Alright."

[Xiaomei.]

[Yes, Host.] Xiaomei responded.

Chexus's body shed the old skin like a chrysalis emerging, revealing immaculate, jade-white skin and the gray, aged hair turned into lustrous and thick black hair.

His long, slightly curved eyelashes gently fluttered, revealing a pair of jet-black vertical pupils!

Sally was stunned for a moment, but the vertical pupils quickly turned round.

She suddenly remembered, Chexus was originally a Black Phoenix.

"Yanyan!" Chexus looked at Sally, his voice young and clear.

Sally looked at him and took out a suit from the System Space for him, "Put it on."

"Thank you." Chexus responded.

Sally rose from the bedside and walked to the drink cabinet, choosing a beverage.

The sound of rustling clothes came from behind.

"Enzo, you go ahead, I want to catch up with your Auntie Su."

"Yes, Father Emperor."

Sally took out two bottles of beer from the cabinet, hearing footsteps approaching from behind, she turned around, tossing him a can.

Chexus, impeccably dressed in a suit, was just like the Ninth Prince in her memory, only his eyes were deep and calm as if he had seen everything in the world.

"You've spent a lifetime in power struggles, just enjoy the rest of your days." Sally took a sip of beer, sitting on a chair by the car window, looking out, when suddenly an elegant figure caught her eye.

It was Qin Mo!

He was holding a girl's hand, she couldn't see her features clearly, but it was definitely not Little Shiliu, and as she tried to look closely, they had already receded into the passing street scenes.

[Is that Qin Mo?] Sally asked Xiaomei.

Xiaomei replied, [Yes.]

"The rest of the days... hmm." Chexus handed Sally a photo, "You seem to have someone new."

Sally looked at the photo, though a bit blurry, it framed her and Jun beautifully.

"He is my last Beast Husband, named Jun." Sally said.

"Last one?" Chexus listened to her words, taking a long pause to say, "You love him!"

Sally didn't respond but put the photo away.

Chexus sat down on the chair opposite her.

Sally's gaze inadvertently passed over the tiny mouse-shaped earring on his left ear, briefly pausing, then looking back out the window, Qin Mo flashed through her mind.

She shook her head, but the figure lingered, "Chexus, human nature's greed is deeply ingrained in the soul."

"You're not of the Human Clan, right?" Chexus looked at her.

"My soul is human, so those inherent flaws..." Sally took a sip of beer.

[Host had an emotional disturbance when she saw Qin Mo just now.] Xiaomei told Sally.

[I know.] Sally leaned back in the chair, suddenly feeling powerless, "Greed, lust, jealousy, sloth, gluttony, wrath, pride, doubt, I have them all."

"Quite complete." Chexus looked at her and suddenly laughed, "But isn't that normal? Recognizing one's true nature is already a supreme virtue."

Sally was stunned, looking at Chexus, finally smiling slowly.

"What is it?" Chexus looked at Sally, her smile blossoming like a flower.

Sally stood up, leaned over, and placed a light kiss on his forehead, "Thank you."

She teleported away.

Chexus gently touched the spot where Sally kissed, slowly closing his eyes.

...

Sally returned to the hotel.

Yan Ze stood at the suite entrance, smiling and waiting for her, "What, have you taken a liking to Chexus?"

"I've taken a liking to you." Sally retorted playfully, attempting to brush past him.

Yan Ze tugged her back, "Since you like me, then keep having me."
