Chapter 532: Family Portrait · Finale

Half a month later, Little Rose sent good news: the egg that Little Yu'er picked up had hatched.

It was a… little monkey?

It was a bit strange for a monkey to hatch from an egg, but considering it was in a world of mystical beasts, it wasn't too surprising.

The little golden monkey was only a foot tall, its entire body covered in fluffy, soft, and beautiful golden fur. Its tail was very long, able to curl over its head. Its eyes were round and black, playful and clever, and it could even speak human language. As soon as it perched on Little Rose's head, it started calling her 'Mama'.

Little Rose blushed and stomped her feet. "Ahhh! I'm not your mama! Are your big eyes just for show? I'm still a child! How could I be your mama!"

"You're the one who hatched me! You're the first thing I saw!"

Little Yu'er also got anxious, "I'm the one who picked you up from the secret realm!"

Hephaestus chimed in, "I sensed the aura of treasure in the secret realm at the time, so Little Yu'er and I went to dig it up. We didn't expect to dig you out."

The little monkey was about to call him 'Papa', but seeing that Little Yu's height wasn't even as tall as it, and the two of them looked nothing alike, it hesitated and scratched its head. Then, it saw Sang Luo walking over and its eyes lit up. "Mama! You're my mama, right!"

Sang Luo chuckled, "I'm not your mama either. My youngest son found you in the secret realm before you hatched and brought you home to raise. Later, my youngest daughter saved you with the laws of life. You could say we're your re-birthing parents, but we're really not your parents."

The little golden monkey lowered its head in disappointment, like a pitiful abandoned child.

Fei Yuan stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "This little monkey cub's appearance reminds me of the reclusive Cloud Macaque Clan. Could it be an orphan from their clan?"

It just so happened that Fei Yuan had some friendship with an elder of the Cloud Macaque Clan in his earlier years. He sent a letter, but days passed without a reply.

Sang Luo simply let the little monkey stay at home to play with the children.

They were all young, and they could play together. Little Yu'er didn't have any siblings of the same age, so it was good to have a little monkey to play with.

She was even thinking about whether to give the little monkey a name.

"How about calling it Wukong?"

Little Yu'er asked strangely, "Why call it that name?"

"Ahem~ Your mother once watched a story where there was a very powerful little monkey named Wukong. How about I tell you that story tonight to lull you to sleep?"

"Okay!"

Sang Luo looked at this group of children, thinking that it would be nice to take them to the modern world to play if she had the chance.

After all, it was the place where their own mother grew up, and she wanted them to experience the culture there.

In the end, she gave the little monkey a nickname, Jin Tuantuan (Golden Ball).

She originally thought that Jin Tuantuan's matter had come to an end, but unexpectedly, half a month later, the Cloud Macaque Clan actually sent someone to pick up the child!

They said that Jin Tuantuan was their clan's young master. Some years ago, a major change occurred in the Cloud Macaque Clan, and they experienced a power struggle. The clan leader and his wife sent the child to the secret realm to protect him, but they didn't expect Little Yu'er and the others to accidentally dig him out. It was truly a laughable misunderstanding.

In the eyes of the Cloud Macaque Clan, they were probably child abductors. They had to quickly apologize!

Fei Yuan suggested, "Luo'er, as the children's own mother, take Little Yu'er over to personally apologize. It will seem more sincere!"

"That's right, then I'll take the child over." Sang Luo didn't expect Fei Yuan to even prepare the apology gifts for her. Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was wrong, "You're not coming with me?"

This guy usually clung to her, inseparable, except when he had to attend the morning court and handle government affairs. Today, he was actually willing to let her take the child out alone! It was truly a rare sight!

Fei Yuan sighed, "I also want to accompany Luo'er, but I'm really swamped with official duties these days and can't find the time. Next time, definitely!"

"Tch, smooth talker~"

Sang Luo took Little Yu'er, the little monkey, and the envoy and left.

Fei Yuan immediately sent messages to the beast husbands and the children.

—Luo'er is gone, she won't be back for three to five days. Come quickly and prepare!

Yan, Quan Jin, Si Ye, Anubis, Lan Cang, Minos, Lou Xian Yue, and the others, upon receiving the message, put aside their important matters and brought their children to the Phoenix Palace.

The Phoenix Palace was bustling inside and out, and the servants were all mobilized.

Red silk lanterns and colorful lights were hung all over the palace, and a red carpet thousands of meters long was laid out of the palace. Every branch was hung with decorative colored ribbons and candy balloons, creating a festive and lively atmosphere. People who didn't know better would have thought that another young prince had been born in the palace!

Some newcomers secretly asked, "What important event is the palace preparing for?"

"Don't you know? I heard it's Her Majesty the Empress's birthday, and His Majesty said that he wants to celebrate the birthday banquet in a big way this year to give Her Majesty the Empress a surprise."

"Why haven't they celebrated it in previous years?"

"That's unknown."

"…"

In fact, Sang Luo had never mentioned her birthday. After so many years, perhaps even she herself had forgotten. But Minos had previously explored her timeline and accidentally learned of her birthday, so naturally, he had to prepare a surprise for Luo Luo.

"Are the gifts all ready?" Lan Cang came over to help the children carry the gifts.

There was a large box that was quite heavy, and he helped Little Song carry it into the room.

"Hehe, it's been prepared for a long time! This Bihai Coral Tree was specially dug out by me from the abyss 30,000 miles deep in the sea. My dad said that this coral tree has a history of 100,000 years, and there's probably only one in the whole world!" Lan An covered a tall, tree-like object with a huge black cloth. The faint light was enough to imagine how stunning it would be when the black cloth was lifted!

Yan smiled and said, "It is indeed very rare, almost as old as I am."

Lan Xin came over with Xiao Tong, "Dad, sister is back."

Xiao Tong hugged the brocade box with her chubby lotus arms, "Wo, wo also has a gift for Mommy~\

,"Lan Cang knew that Cha Lai was here to see the children, and he gave this thing to the child to give to Sang Luo.

"Oh, what is Xiao Tong holding?"

"Father said, give it to Mommy in person and let Mommy open it."

Lan Cang snorted lightly, making it quite mysterious.

Minos looked at the sky, "Your mother and the others should be back soon."

As expected, Sang Luo returned from the Yunrou tribe three days later, and was surprised to see the Phoenix Palace decorated with lanterns and colored streamers. What kind of mischief are they up to?

As soon as she entered the door.

"Bang!"

Confetti and ribbons sounded.

Candies and colorful ribbons fell from the sky like snowflakes, and the children and beast husbands gathered together, none missing.

Xiao Yu, who was beside her, jumped into Sang Luo's arms excitedly, licked her face, and said crisply,

"Happy birthday, Mommy!"

Si Ye pushed over a twenty-one-layer cake, each layer with a different flavor, his handsome face smiling, "This is made by the children for you."

"Okay, so you were all hiding it from me. How come you've all been so mysterious these past few days? Fei Yuan even tried to get me away..." Sang Luo couldn't help but smile, her heart aching and soft.

"We all prepared gifts for Mommy! Mommy, open them and take a look!"

Xiao Qi said expectantly, "Mommy, this is a family letter lamp I made. The illustrations inside were drawn by me and my sister. We drew Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunts in it!"

Sang Luo took the lamp and opened it, and the scenes came to life under the light. She touched his head, "Great, Mommy likes this gift very much!"

Xiao Yuan, "This is a hairpin I gave to Mommy. It is made of a special spiritual jade, which can automatically purify poisonous miasma and can also be used as a defensive magic weapon!"

Sang Luo also touched her little face and smiled gratifiedly, "Yes! The gift from my good daughter is very practical, and Mommy likes it very much!"

Lan An asked Lou Xian Yue to help him push over a big thing two or three meters high, covered with black cloth from top to bottom, with faint light leaking from the cracks, "Mommy, look at my Bihai coral tree, which my son found with great difficulty. It's one-of-a-kind in the world!"

He pulled off the black cloth, revealing a colorful coral tree, stunning and beautiful.

Sang Luo was also deeply amazed, "This ornament is beautiful. If you put it in the living room, it will add luster to the humble dwelling. Everyone who comes will have to take a look."

"Does Mommy like it?" Lan An's clear blue eyes were like a pool of seawater, so beautiful.

Sang Luo pinched his little face, which didn't have much baby fat, "Yes! I like it very much!"

Hefes was born in the same year as Xiao An. Now he looks like a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old. He is wearing a well-tailored white dress with a chest ribbon. His beautiful golden-brown curly hair is longer than when he was a child. He tied it loosely behind his head, which made him look a bit elegant and noble.

"Happy birthday, Mommy. This is the gift I gave, and there is also a gift that Father and Princess asked me to give to Mother." Hefes whispered, "My son didn't want to tell Daddy, but I accidentally saw Daddy when I was preparing the gift, so he asked me to send it over. If Mommy doesn't like it... then don't take it."

"Today is Mommy's birthday banquet. This is your father's intention. Even as a friend, there is no reason to send back a gift that someone has put so much thought into." Sang Luo accepted the gift with a smile. It was a pair of exquisitely crafted jade ornaments, which have the effect of nourishing the divine body, "This jade material is very rare. Thank you to your father and Princess Dianxia for me."

"Mommy likes it!"

"It's our turn!" Lan Xin also rushed forward excitedly, "Mommy, this Bai Na garment is given to Mommy by me and my brothers. They are responsible for finding the materials, and I personally made the clothes. This piece of clothing took me a full half a year! Every stitch and thread was made by my daughter personally!"

"Thank you, Xiao Zhixin. Mommy really likes this gift!"

The children all presented carefully prepared gifts, and Sang Luo smiled and smiled, but her eyes were a little moist, and she brushed her fingers across the corners of her eyes to hide it.

Fei Yuan handed over an embroidered handkerchief and smiled, "The children are very filial. These days, they have been preparing more actively than us."

After Xiao Wukong returned to his ancestors, he came back with Xiao Yu. It also joined the lively banquet, holding a camera in its hand, jumping and jumping, "Quick, quick, you guys come over quickly, the light is good here, I'll take a family photo for you!"

Thinking about how long she has been in the Beast World, she has so many beast husbands and children. She has never really taken a "family photo" before!

Click!

The photo was printed out.

The older children stood upright, the younger cubs chased and played underneath, and the expressions and movements of the adults were also different. Some were fighting openly and secretly, some were watching the show, some were watching gently. Sang Luo was in the center of the picture, holding Xiao Tong's chubby little hand in her arms, and also made a yeah gesture... The picture was warm and beautiful.

It was obviously a static picture, but it seemed that laughter could be heard.

"Having you is my good fortune."

"Meeting you is the greatest luck of our lives."
