Upon hearing this, Liuli Luoluo was stunned. Then, she said with a dejected expression, “You’re right. As Beast Tamers, it’s indeed our responsibility to protect the world. Unfortunately, I’m not qualified to participate in the battle with you guys.”
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 Luoluo’s cultivation level hadn’t improved at all in the past four years. She was still at the peak of the late-stage Master Realm.
As a Master, she wasn’t qualified to fight alongside Yin Rong and the others.
Liuli Luoluo was Yin Rong’s senior, so Yin Rong naturally knew Liuli Luoluo’s former strength.
However, not every young genius could have an extraordinary life.
Clearly, Liuli Luoluo’s glorious days stopped at the year she graduated from the Divine Realm Academy.
Seeing the disappointment in Liuli Luoluo’s eyes, Yin Rong, who was kind by nature, felt a trace of sadness. She held Liuli Luoluo’s arm as she comforted her in a low voice, “Senior Luoluo, you can’t fight with us, but you can stay at home and protect the Yin Clan.”
She smiled gently at Liuli Luoluo and said, “You’re Mr. Linyuan’s wife now and can be considered the Matriarch of the Yin Clan. After we leave, the Yin Clan will be in your hands.”
When she met Yin Rong’s trusting gaze, Liuli Luoluo’s heart skipped a beat. She nodded and said, “I will.”
“Alright, I’ll get going first.”
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 Linyuan’s small courtyard. She saw that Liuli Luoluo didn’t enter the room. Instead, she walked around the courtyard and towards the top of the mountain.
On the top of the mountain was the Patriarch’s 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 Jingyun’s 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.
“Aunt Yin Xu!” 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, “Hurry up. Almost everyone is at the training ground. If we’re late, my father will scold me.”
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, “Why did you come from the mountain?”
Yin Rong said, “I 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.”
Nodding, Yin Xu said, “Why don’t I see the Patriarch?”
“The Patriarch is at the Beast Tamer Alliance.”
Yin Xu was enlightened. “No wonder. I was wondering why I didn’t see the Patriarch and Mr. Linyuan.”
Yin Rong recalled the scene she had just seen and asked Yin Xu, “Aunt Yin Xu, I just saw Madam Ji heading towards the Patriarch’s Mansion. Do you know what she went to do?”
“You’re talking about her.” Liuli Luoluo’s enchanting figure and beautiful appearance flashed across Yin Xu’s mind. She frowned and said, “Mr. Linyuan is the acting Patriarch. During those years that the Patriarch went to the Kunlun Mystic Realm to train, the Patriarch’s residence has been handed over to her to manage.”
Yin Xu revealed a puzzled expression again. She said, “Logically speaking, this is not the time to clean up. Why is she going to the Patriarch’s Mansion?”
After she found out that Liuli Luoluo was managing the Patriarch’s Mansion, the doubts in Yin Rong’s heart dissipated.
At this time, Liuli Luoluo arrived at the Patriarch’s Mansion.
When the guards guarding outside the Patriarch’s Mansion saw Liuli Luoluo, they asked respectfully, “Madam Ji, why are you here at this time?” Although Liuli Luoluo was the manager of the Patriarch’s Mansion, she usually wouldn’t come at this time. She actually didn’t 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, “Mr. Linyuan left something here and asked me to come find it.”
Ji Linyuan had indeed come here to see the Patriarch last night.
Hearing this, the guard hurriedly opened the door and bowed. “Madam Ji, please come in.”
Liuli Luoluo nodded and entered the Patriarch’s 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.
“Are you guys busy?” Liuli Luoluo stood under the tree as she smiled at the servants.
When the servants saw Liuli Luoluo, they hurriedly stood up and asked, “Madam Ji, why are you here?”
Liuli Luoluo said, “Mr. Linyuan asked me to come over and exorcise the red elm tree.” Liuli Luoluo took out a white jade bottle from her bag and said, “This is the insect exorcism medicine that Mr. Linyuan concocted for the red elm tree. This medicine is relatively poisonous.”
Liuli Luoluo looked up at the huge tree above her head and said, “The red elm tree is a spiritual tree. Nothing can happen to it. Go rest. I’ll personally repel the insects for the red elm tree.”
The servants were only Scholars with low cultivation levels. They couldn’t bear the sin of damaging the red elm tree.
“Thank you, Madam Ji.”
“Yes, it’s getting late. You guys should go back and rest.”
“Okay.”
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 child’s 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 Lingfeng’s order to lead all the beast tamers to fight.
However, they didn’t receive Sheng Lingfeng’s notice.
At this moment, Sheng Lingfeng, Ji Linyuan, and the others were quietly guarding outside the gynecology room of Jingdu’s treatment center while waiting for the Healer inside to do Vivian’s 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 Vivian’s finger and said, “Vivian, look, that’s our child.”
Vivian couldn’t 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 didn’t open her eyes and look at the child one last time, the child would stay safe in her stomach.
