Upon hearing this, Liuli Luoluo was stunned. Then, she said with a dejected expression, âYouâre right. As Beast Tamers, itâs indeed our responsibility to protect the world. Unfortunately, Iâm not qualified to participate in the battle with you guys.â
Four years ago, during the graduation examination, Liuli Luoluo had successfully reached the 98th floor of Skysplit Tower while Xuanyuan Chen had reached the 99th floor.
Among their batch of students, Liuli Luoluo was an honorary student second only to Xuanyuan Chen.
Four years ago, when Liuli Luoluo participated in the Doomsday Battlefield, she was already at the peak of the late-stage Master Realm. However, for some reason, Liuli Luoluoâs cultivation level hadnât improved at all in the past four years. She was still at the peak of the late-stage Master Realm.
As a Master, she wasnât qualified to fight alongside Yin Rong and the others.
Liuli Luoluo was Yin Rongâs senior, so Yin Rong naturally knew Liuli Luoluoâs former strength.
However, not every young genius could have an extraordinary life.
Clearly, Liuli Luoluoâs glorious days stopped at the year she graduated from the Divine Realm Academy.
Seeing the disappointment in Liuli Luoluoâs eyes, Yin Rong, who was kind by nature, felt a trace of sadness. She held Liuli Luoluoâs arm as she comforted her in a low voice, âSenior Luoluo, you canât fight with us, but you can stay at home and protect the Yin Clan.â
She smiled gently at Liuli Luoluo and said, âYouâre Mr. Linyuanâs wife now and can be considered the Matriarch of the Yin Clan. After we leave, the Yin Clan will be in your hands.â
When she met Yin Rongâs trusting gaze, Liuli Luoluoâs heart skipped a beat. She nodded and said, âI will.â
âAlright, Iâll get going first.â
Yin Rong rushed to the training ground to gather. After hurriedly bidding farewell, Yin Rong quickly left.
After walking for a while, she suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Linyuanâs small courtyard. She saw that Liuli Luoluo didnât enter the room. Instead, she walked around the courtyard and towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain was the Patriarchâs Residence, which was where Yu Huang lived.
What was she doing there?
Yin Rong walked down the mountain thoughtfully. On the way, she met First Elder Yin Jingyunâs beloved daughter, Yin Xu. She was wearing a red shirt and black pants and holding a special whip in her arms. She looked aloof and dignified.
âAunt Yin Xu!â Although Yin Rong was from a side branch of the Yin Clan, her surname was Yin, so she was considered a relative of Yin Xu.
As the most outstanding person among the young disciples, Yin Rong had a bright future, so Yin Xu was naturally willing to establish close relations to her.
Yin Xu stopped and smiled as she urged her, âHurry up. Almost everyone is at the training ground. If weâre late, my father will scold me.â
Although Yin Xu was already in her sixties, she was still very afraid of her father.
Yin Rong smiled and hurriedly quickened her pace.
As they walked, Yin Xu asked her, âWhy did you come from the mountain?â
Yin Rong said, âI was planning to go to the Cultivation Hall at the back of the mountain to enter seclusion when I suddenly heard the summons and came down.â
Nodding, Yin Xu said, âWhy donât I see the Patriarch?â
âThe Patriarch is at the Beast Tamer Alliance.â
Yin Xu was enlightened. âNo wonder. I was wondering why I didnât see the Patriarch and Mr. Linyuan.â
Yin Rong recalled the scene she had just seen and asked Yin Xu, âAunt Yin Xu, I just saw Madam Ji heading towards the Patriarchâs Mansion. Do you know what she went to do?â
âYouâre talking about her.â Liuli Luoluoâs enchanting figure and beautiful appearance flashed across Yin Xuâs mind. She frowned and said, âMr. Linyuan is the acting Patriarch. During those years that the Patriarch went to the Kunlun Mystic Realm to train, the Patriarchâs residence has been handed over to her to manage.â
Yin Xu revealed a puzzled expression again. She said, âLogically speaking, this is not the time to clean up. Why is she going to the Patriarchâs Mansion?â
After she found out that Liuli Luoluo was managing the Patriarchâs Mansion, the doubts in Yin Rongâs heart dissipated.
At this time, Liuli Luoluo arrived at the Patriarchâs Mansion.
When the guards guarding outside the Patriarchâs Mansion saw Liuli Luoluo, they asked respectfully, âMadam Ji, why are you here at this time?â Although Liuli Luoluo was the manager of the Patriarchâs Mansion, she usually wouldnât come at this time. She actually didnât come often. She only came to check the cleaning situation once a day.
Liuli Luoluo lowered her eyes and adjusted the sleeves of her dress as she said softly, âMr. Linyuan left something here and asked me to come find it.â
Ji Linyuan had indeed come here to see the Patriarch last night.
Hearing this, the guard hurriedly opened the door and bowed. âMadam Ji, please come in.â
Liuli Luoluo nodded and entered the Patriarchâs Mansion before walking towards the small courtyard where Yu Huang lived. In the courtyard, a few servants were chasing away the parasites under the roots of the red elm tree.
The red elm tree was a spiritual tree. There would always be parasites secretly clinging to its roots to absorb spiritual power.
âAre you guys busy?â Liuli Luoluo stood under the tree as she smiled at the servants.
When the servants saw Liuli Luoluo, they hurriedly stood up and asked, âMadam Ji, why are you here?â
Liuli Luoluo said, âMr. Linyuan asked me to come over and exorcise the red elm tree.â Liuli Luoluo took out a white jade bottle from her bag and said, âThis is the insect exorcism medicine that Mr. Linyuan concocted for the red elm tree. This medicine is relatively poisonous.â
Liuli Luoluo looked up at the huge tree above her head and said, âThe red elm tree is a spiritual tree. Nothing can happen to it. Go rest. Iâll personally repel the insects for the red elm tree.â
The servants were only Scholars with low cultivation levels. They couldnât bear the sin of damaging the red elm tree.
âThank you, Madam Ji.â
âYes, itâs getting late. You guys should go back and rest.â
âOkay.â
After the servants left, Liuli Luoluo lowered her eyes and stared at the red elm tree root. The grass near the tree root had just been trampled on by the servants. At this moment, it had all been broken from the root and was stuck to the ground miserably.
However, no one noticed that the grass actually slowly stood up again and showed signs of vitality.
Seeing this, Liuli Luoluo slowly squatted down and extended her finger to gently stroke the grass, as if she was stroking a childâs soft skin.

It was almost dark.
All the large families of the Divine Realm Continent had already gathered all the beast tamers of the clan. They were only waiting for Sheng Lingfengâs order to lead all the beast tamers to fight.
However, they didnât receive Sheng Lingfengâs notice.
At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng, Ji Linyuan, and the others were quietly guarding outside the gynecology room of Jingduâs treatment center while waiting for the Healer inside to do Vivianâs prenatal checkup.
In the room, Vivian was lying on the bed with bloodshot eyes. Jiang Shangfeng was holding her right hand tightly.
Jiang Shangfeng kissed Vivianâs finger and said, âVivian, look, thatâs our child.â
Vivian couldnât bear to open her eyes.
Because she knew that this would be the last time she saw her child.
She was lying to herself. She told herself that as long as she didnât open her eyes and look at the child one last time, the child would stay safe in her stomach.
