Popping out of a rock…
The corner of Aslan's mouth couldn't help but twitch. In a certain sense, Sun Wukong's guess wasn't entirely wrong if a culture vessel was considered a rock.
However, under Aslan's manipulation, he managed to secure Pure-Blooded Vampire Spirit Status for Aurora and the others.
A Spirit Status similar to Pure-Blooded Vampire generally could only be born if both parents' blood was the same and both were pure.
And it had to be born through the most natural means. Otherwise, unless it was through Secret Treasures like the Mother-Child River or Parthenogenesis (reproduction without fertilization), it wouldn't be considered pure.
{Big Brother, what do we do now?}
Bull Demon King looked at Karyou, who was still keeping her head down, and Aslan, who was exchanging pleasantries with him about the situation in Little Garden and mutual flattery.
{What else can we do? We can only be grateful you, Monkey, found out early.}
{And if Aslan and Leticia are innocent, isn't that better? It won't affect Karyou and Aslan's feelings.}
{Think about why we came to find Aslan in the first place…}
{That's true.}
Sun Wukong nodded in agreement. Weren't they just suspicious that Aslan was cheating on Karyou? Now that she found out there was no such thing, they would naturally pretend it never happened.
{Besides, don't you see Karyou still doesn't dare lift her head?}
Bull Demon King looked at Karyou with a hint of exasperation.
He really didn't know what Jade Faced Fox had taught Karyou. Why did she still seem too shy to face anyone?
Bull Demon King was a man. Some things were still very inconvenient for him to address. And Sun Wukong… what did that stone monkey know?
Let her first explain the difference between male and female monkeys and how baby monkeys come about.
So, for Karyou's happiness, Bull Demon King deliberately had his concubine, Jade Faced Fox, teach Karyou the knowledge adults should know, along with a bit about dual cultivation methods.
However, it was clear that Jade Faced Fox had gone a bit overboard…
It could only be said, as expected of a fox spirit? She specialized in charm.
{We'd better make sure Karyou isn't too embarrassed first.}
{Embarrassed?}
Sun Wukong's expression suddenly became very subtle.
So, Karyou didn't originally come to settle things with Aslan? Why did it turn out like this?
What kind of main force surrenders before the battle?
Although they, too, had almost given up on settling anything.
After all, a mess they themselves didn't understand wasn't worth resolving, especially since Karyou herself no longer minded.
Sun Wukong glanced at her helplessly. She only saw Karyou keeping her head down, her face bright red, silently sipping her wine.
However, Sun Wukong could still see that Karyou seemed to be sneaking glances at Aslan with the corner of her eye. But every time she looked, the blush on her face deepened.
Sun Wukong might not understand what was going on with Karyou. But Bull Demon King, the experienced old driver, immediately understood.
Karyou was clearly thinking about something unhealthy and couldn't stop herself from thinking about it.
"Aslan, you're done for…"
Suddenly, a very childish yet inexplicably cheerful voice sounded.
Aslan reached out and caught a white-haired girl in a black kimono.
Aslan looked at his elusive Boss with a hint of exasperation. The corner of his mouth twitched.
"I say, Boss, don't you see we're in the middle of drinking?"
But Shiroyasha didn't say a word. She just glared fiercely at Aslan, completely ignoring the people around her.
"Aslan, I went out of my way to set up Karyou-chan, my favorite, to be your wife. But I never expected you to treat her like this…"
Saying that, Shiroyasha wiped nonexistent tears from the corner of her eye, speaking in a sobbing tone of betrayal.
Aslan, with an expressionless face, turned Shiroyasha, who was facing him, toward Sun Wukong, Bull Demon King, and Karyou, who were glaring angrily.
"Huh? Monkey, when did you get here?" Shiroyasha fanned herself awkwardly, trying to slip away.
However, seeing Sun Wukong's unchanged expression as she prepared to draw her Ruyi Jingu Bang, Bull Demon King readying his iron staff, and Karyou preparing her Golden Wing Flames, Shiroyasha raised her hands and shouted without hesitation.
"Karyou-chan, I want to report!"
"Aslan secretly had twelve daughters with Leticia in the outside world!"
The corner of Aslan's mouth twitched. Then, with an expressionless face, he smacked the head of Shiroyasha, who was spouting nonsense.
'Stop talking…'
Almost everyone present, except Karyou and Shiroyasha, sneered inwardly.
The issue they had worked so hard to ignore and suppress was now directly brought up by Shiroyasha.
"Oh, I know." Karyou said, glancing at Shiroyasha flatly, her tone calm without a trace of anger.
"No, Karyou-chan, how can you be so calm?" Shiroyasha was indignant. Her tiny body, with the collar of her kimono held by Aslan, struggled wildly.
"You should be devastated and then seek comfort from me. That way I can hehehe…"
'Who would seek comfort from you? If I'm seeking comfort, it'd definitely be from Sister Monkey.'
Karyou couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
However, before Shiroyasha could finish, she was smacked again by Aslan. This time, Aslan didn't hold back at all, even leaving a bump on Shiroyasha's head.
"Good job!" Karyou couldn't help but cheer inwardly. She had long wanted to teach a lesson to Shiroyasha, who tried to take advantage of her every day.
But due to compatibility and status differences, she could never do anything to Shiroyasha.
"Boss, watch it. Karyou is mine!" Aslan glared at Shiroyasha with a very displeased expression.
He already knew Shiroyasha had bad intentions toward Karyou.
"Hmph, I shouldn't have introduced Karyou-chan to you. You got a huge bargain." Shiroyasha sneered, freeing herself from Aslan's grip on her kimono collar.
Kurousagi promptly brought a new chair and tableware, pouring wine for Shiroyasha.
Shiroyasha raised her glass, drank it in one gulp, and slammed it on the table.
She swept her golden-red eyes over everyone present, warning the old-timers who had turned their attention to Arcadia.
"Monkey, help me." Shiroyasha said with an extremely serious expression.
Sun Wukong scratched her head with slight confusion, looking at her puzzled.
"Alright, help with what? As long as I can help, I definitely will."
"But Shiro, what's going on?"
"Why are you asking me for help?"
Given Shiroyasha's arrogant nature, even though she had become more approachable, she wasn't the type to ask others for help.
And what problem couldn't Shiroyasha handle? At worst, she could reclaim her Spirit Status and replicate the Geocentric Theory (Earth's Movement).
How could anyone ignore a Two-Digit level?
Shiroyasha's desperate yet slightly indulgent gaze lingered on Aslan for a moment.
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to him. Aslan pointed at himself with a confused expression.
"Hm? It's not that serious, is it, Boss?"
Wasn't it just inheriting the Zodiac's legacy? At most, it would only add twelve Four-Digit Legends.
Aurora and the others were currently ordinary Four-Digits. After weaving Authority, they could become Four-Digit Elites. And only after activating all inherited abilities by linking to the constellations through the corresponding Sun Authority would they become Four-Digit Legends.
As for Four-Digit Outliers, that was only possible if they held the corresponding Sun Authority. But specifically, it still depended on Aurora and the others' compatibility with the Sun Authority and full integration.
This wasn't something Shiroyasha couldn't handle.
Or, could the Fictional Historians not hold back, and the issue blew up?
Impossible. If it had blown up, their attitudes wouldn't be like this.
If the true history of the Strike the Blood world was revealed—where humans defeated gods, and the so-called gods were actually akin to Devas (Vampires) who fell into the Demon Race—the likelihood of that being exposed…
It wouldn't be resolved easily. At the very least, the Strike the Blood world would be completely destroyed.
The Heavenly Army had destroyed such worlds before. Or rather, every Pantheon had corresponding methods to destroy "wrong" worlds.
For example, Gabriel's Trumpet of the Apocalypse, Shiva (one of the three main Hindu gods), and others specialized in such tasks.
Otherwise, why would Aslan go to such lengths?
"This brat got a huge bargain. But I, the Boss, am destined to suffer. I have to take the blame for you." Shiroyasha said, shrugging with a helpless expression.
Without further ado, she said directly,
"This brat seized all the Zodiac's legacy."
Instantly, Bull Demon King, Sun Wukong, and Karyou's gazes toward Aslan shifted from strange to full of admiration.
This was truly a big shot. The trouble he caused was far greater than theirs. They, at most, dared to stir things up and alter history.
The so-called Seven Great Demon King War was nothing more than a large-scale Gift Game. And it was a challenge launched when Taoism and the Heavenly Palace's forces were depleted.
Sun Wukong alone cleared countless bad debts to get off lightly.
Otherwise, how could she, with only Four-Digit Outlier strength at the time, have fought from the Southern Heaven Gate to the Lingxiao Palace?
Back then, the Chinese Pantheon was left with just three cats and two dogs (very few). Besides Erlang Shen, only avatars of major figures remained.
Now, the Chinese Pantheon didn't even bother pretending. The Heavenly Palace was empty, with only Erlang Shen left there as a symbol.
It felt like, if they weren't unable to take away the territory they gained in Little Garden and Human History and didn't want others to profit from it, even Erlang Shen might have left.
