Chapter 532 Family Portrait - Ending
Half a month later, Xiao Qiangwei sent good news that the egg that Xiao Yuer picked up had hatched.
Is it a...little monkey?
It's a bit strange that a monkey hatched from the egg, but when you think about it, it's not surprising in the fantasy world of beasts.
The little golden monkey is only one foot long, with golden fur that is fluffy, soft and beautiful. Its tail is very long and can be rolled up to go over its head. Its eyes are round and black. It is playful and clever, and can speak human language. It lies on the top of Little Rose's head and starts calling for its mother.
Little Rose Zhao blushed and stomped her feet. "Ahhh! I'm not your mother. Are your eyes that big for nothing? I'm still a child! How could I be your mother!"
"You were the one who hatched me. You were the first person I saw!"
Xiao Yuer was also anxious, "I picked you up from the secret realm!"
Hephis also joined in, "I discovered the scent of treasure in the secret realm at that time, so my brother Xiaoyu and I went to dig, but I didn't expect to dig you out."
The little monkey was about to call out "Dad", but when he saw Xiaoyu was not even as tall as him, and the two looked exactly like him, he scratched his head hesitantly. Then, when he looked at Sang Luo who was walking towards him, his eyes lit up, "Mom! You are my mom, right!"
Sang Luo burst out laughing. "I'm not your mother either. It was my youngest son who found you in the secret realm before you even hatched. He picked you up and brought you home. Later, my youngest daughter used the law of life to rescue you. I can call them my adoptive parents, but I'm not really your father or mother."
The little golden monkey lowered its head in disappointment, like a poor abandoned child.
Fei Yuan stroked his chin, thoughtfully, "This little monkey's appearance reminds me of the long-secluded Yunyao tribe. Could it be an orphan from their tribe?"
It just so happened that Fei Yuan had some friendship with an elder of the Yunqiao tribe in his early years, so he sent a letter to him. However, several days passed without any reply from the other side.
Sang Luo simply let the little monkey stay at home to play with the children.
They are all cubs and can play together. Xiaoyu doesn’t have any brothers or sisters of the same age, so it’s nice to have a little monkey to play with.
She was also thinking about whether to give the little monkey a name.
"How about calling Wukong?"
Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Why is it called this name?"
"Ahem~ In a story I once read, there was a very powerful little monkey named Wukong. How about I tell you this story to put you to sleep tonight?"
"good!"
Sang Luo looked at the group of children and thought it would be great if he could take them to modern times to play if he had the chance.
After all, this is where their mother grew up, so let them experience the cultural influence there.
In the end, the little monkey was given a nickname, Jin Tuantuan.
I originally thought that the matter with Jin Tuantuan was over, but I didn't expect that after half a month, the Yunqiao tribe actually sent someone to pick up the child!
It is said that Jin Tuantuan is the young master of their tribe. A few years ago, the Yunqiao tribe underwent a huge change and experienced a power transition. In order to protect the child, the tribe leader and his wife sent the child to a secret realm. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuer and others dug out the child by accident. It was really a ridiculous misunderstanding.
In the eyes of the Yunqiao tribe, they are probably evil people who kidnap children, so they must apologize immediately!
Fei Yuan suggested, "Luo'er, as the child's biological mother, you should bring Xiaoyu over to apologize in person. That would show more sincerity!"
"That's right. I'll take the child with me then." Sang Luo didn't expect Fei Yuan to even prepare an apology for her. When she was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was wrong. "Aren't you going with me?"
This guy usually sticks with her all the time except when he's attending court in the morning and handling government affairs, but today he actually lets her go out with the child by herself! I've never seen such a thing before!
Fei Yuan sighed, "I also want to accompany Luo'er, but I've been busy with official duties recently and really can't spare the time. I'll definitely do it next time!"
"Tsk, smooth talk~"
After Sang Luo left with Xiaoyu, the little monkey and the messenger.
Fei Yuan immediately sent a message to the beast husband and the children.
——Luo'er is gone and won't be back for three to five days. Come and get ready quickly!
When Yan, Quan Jin, Si Ye, Anubia, Lan Cang, Minos, and Lou Xianyue received the news, they all put down their important matters and brought their children to Fenghuang Palace.
The Fenghuang Palace was bustling with activity inside and outside, and all the servants were mobilized.
The palace was covered with red silk lanterns from top to bottom, and a red carpet several thousand meters long was laid out outside the palace. Every tree branch was hung with decorative colorful ribbons and candy balloons. It was so festive and lively that people who didn't know would think that a little prince was born in the palace!
A new busybody asked privately, "What big event is the palace preparing for?"
"You don't know, but I heard it's Her Majesty's birthday. His Majesty said he's going to hold a grand birthday banquet this year to give Her Majesty a surprise."
"Why hasn't this been held in previous years?"
"That's unknown."
“…”
In fact, Sang Luo never mentioned her birthday. After so many years, perhaps even she had forgotten it. Minos had explored her timeline last time and accidentally learned her birthday. Naturally, he had to prepare well and give Luo Luo a surprise.
"Are the gifts ready?" Lan Cang came over to help the children get the gifts.
There was a big and heavy box, and he helped Xiao Song move it into the house.
"Hehe, it's been prepared for a long time! This blue sea coral tree was specially dug out by me from the abyss of 30,000 miles deep in the sea. My father said that this coral tree has a history of 100,000 years, and there may be only one in the whole world!" Lan Eucalyptus used a huge black cloth to cover a tall tree-like object. There was a faint light, and one could imagine how amazing it would be when the black cloth was unveiled!
Yan smiled and said, "It is indeed very rare. It is almost as old as me."
Lan Xin came over with Xiao Tong in her arms, "Dad, my sister is back."
Xiaotong held the brocade box in her chubby arms, "I, I also have a gift for mother~"
Lan Cang knew that Sha came to see the child, and he gave this thing to the child and asked her to give it to Sang Luo.
"Oh, what's that in Xiaotong's hand?"
"Father said he would personally give it to Mother and have her open it."
Lan Cang sneered, making it quite mysterious.
Minos looked at the sky and said, "Your mother and the others should be back soon."
As expected, it was three days later when Sang Luo returned from the Yunqiao tribe. From afar, he saw the Fenghuang Palace decorated with lights and thought he was dreaming. What was going on?
As soon as you enter the door.
"Bang!"
The sound of streamers and salutes.
Candies and colorful ribbons fell from the sky like snowflakes, and the children and beastmen gathered together, not one left behind.
Xiaoyu beside her excitedly jumped into Sang Luo's arms, licked her face, and said crisply,
"Happy birthday, mother!"
Si Ye pushed over a twenty-one-layer tall cake, each layer with a different flavor. A smile spread across his handsome face, "This is made for you by the children."
"Okay, so you were keeping it a secret. I was wondering why you guys were being so secretive these days. Fei Yuan even tried to get me away..." Sang Luo couldn't help laughing, his heart felt sour and tender.
"Each of us has prepared a gift for Mom! Mom, please open it and take a look!"
Xiao Qi said expectantly, "Mom, this is the family book lantern I made. My sister and I drew the illustrations ourselves, including my parents, brothers and sisters, and uncles!"
Sang Luo took the book lamp and opened it. The scenes came to life under the light. She touched his head and said, "Great! Mother likes this gift very much!"
Xiaoyuan said, "This is a hairpin I gave to my mother. It is made of a special kind of spiritual jade. It can automatically purify poisonous miasma and can also be used as a self-defense magic weapon!"
Sang Luo also touched her little face and smiled with satisfaction, "Well! The gift from my good daughter is very practical, and mother likes it very much!"
Lan An asked Lou Xianyue to help him push over a large object about two or three meters tall. It was covered from top to bottom with black cloth, with a faint light leaking through the gaps. "Mother, look at my Azure Sea Coral Tree! It's a treasure that your son found with great difficulty. It's one of a kind in the world!"
He pulled off the black cloth, revealing the vibrant and colorful coral trees, stunning and beautiful.
Sang Luo was also deeply impressed. "This ornament is beautiful. Putting it in the living room will brighten up my humble home. Everyone who comes here will have to take a look at it."
"Do you like it, mother?" Lan Euan's clear blue eyes were like a pool of sea water, so beautiful.
Sang Luo pinched his little face which didn't have much baby fat, "Yeah! I like it very much!"
Hephis and Xiao'an were born in the same year. Now he looks like a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen. He is wearing a sophisticated white suit and a firework on his chest. His beautiful golden brown curly hair is longer than when he was a child and is tied loosely behind his head, which makes him look elegant and noble.
"Happy birthday, mother. This is my gift. There's another gift that father and the princess asked me to give to mother." Hephis whispered, "I didn't intend to tell you, father. It's all your fault that you accidentally saw me preparing the gift, so he asked me to give it to you. If you don't like it... then don't take it."
"Today is Mother's birthday party. This is a gift from your father. Even as a friend, it's unreasonable to return such a thoughtful gift." Sang Luo smiled and accepted the gift. It was a pair of exquisitely crafted jade ornaments that had the effect of nourishing the body. "This piece of jade is very rare. Thank your father and Your Highness the Princess for me."
"As long as mother likes it!"
"It's our turn!" Lan Xin also rushed forward excitedly. "Mom, this patchwork dress was given to you by my brothers and me. They were responsible for finding the materials, and I made the dress myself. This dress took me a full six months! Every stitch was made by my daughter myself!"
"Thank you, Xiao Zhixin. Mother really likes this gift!"
The children all presented their carefully prepared gifts. Sang Luo smiled, but her eyes became a little moist, and she passed her fingers across the corners of her eyes to hide them.
Fei Yuan handed over an embroidered handkerchief and said with a smile, "The children are very filial. These days, they have been more active in the preparations than we are."
After Little Wukong returned to his roots, he followed Xiaoyu back. He also joined the lively party, holding a camera in his hand and jumping up and down, "Quick, quick, come here quickly, the light is good here, I want to take a family photo for you!"
Considering how long she has been in the beast world and has so many beast husbands and children, she has never properly taken a "family photo"!
Snap!
The photos are printed out.
The older children stood upright, the younger ones were chasing and playing below, the adults had different expressions and movements, some were fighting openly, some were watching, and some were watching gently. Sang Luo was in the center of the picture, holding the chubby little hand of Xiaotong in his arms, and also made a "yeah" sign... The picture was warm and beautiful
It is clearly a static picture, but you can seem to hear laughter and joy.
"I am lucky to have you."
"Meeting you is the greatest luck in our lives."
