Chapter 189: Just Wondering If Kalinga Knows About This Matter
"Oh my god! Lady Leticia has been scared unconscious!"
Just as Leticia's brain couldn't handle the overload, Black Rabbit, who was passing by, couldn't help but scream.
Immediately following was a sound of confusion.
"Eh? How could Lady Leticia be scared unconscious? That shouldn't be right?"
At this moment, Su Nian looked at Leticia, who was lying in his arms with her crimson eyes wide open, staring at him.
Su Nian helped Leticia sit upright, but Leticia still felt a bit dizzy.
"Excuse me, Master, my brain just crashed for a moment."
Leticia, whose body was still a bit weak, stood before Su Nian and apologized.
Afterward, Leticia re-examined her own Spirit Status and her physical condition; she even took out her Gift Card to check it.
Hmm? There's no problem with the Pure Vampire Gift, right?
And she hadn't lost her purity either, had she?
So where did these twelve daughters pop out from?
Through inspecting her body and Spirit Status, Leticia calmed her mood slightly, then looked at Su Nian and sighed.
"Master, for something like daughters popping out of thin air, you should at least give a heads-up afterward; it's quite frightening."
Black Rabbit, standing to the side, immediately raised her hand and began to clamor.
"Exactly, exactly—no, wait, a heads-up afterward isn't enough either; you should have said so in advance."
But the next moment, Black Rabbit seemed to realize something; she turned her neck mechanically, looked at Leticia, and couldn't help but raise her voice by an octave.
"Daughters!!!"
"Lady Leticia, when did you have daughters!!"
Black Rabbit, now somewhat emotionally out of control, raised her hands, grabbed Su Nian by the collar, and shook him vigorously.
"When did this happen? How are the daughters already this big?"
Before Su Nian could even open his mouth, Black Rabbit put on a twisted expression—as if she wanted to cry but was forcibly holding it back—and forced a smile.
"I know Black Rabbit might be useless, just a good-for-nothing rabbit, but Lady Leticia, why didn't you even say a word about something as big as having daughters?"
"Everyone in the Community would definitely have taken good care of your daughters."
Black Rabbit couldn't help but mutter to herself; at this very moment, she felt as if she had been abandoned by Leticia, Su Nian, and everyone in Arcadia.
To Black Rabbit, this was an unimaginable blow.
"They are such cute girls; if you had told Black Rabbit, Black Rabbit would have definitely taken good care of them."
Listening to the overflowing jealousy in Black Rabbit's tone, Su Nian felt that something seemed a bit off about this situation.
It seems like these aren't your daughters either, Black Rabbit? Why does it sound like you're the old mother whose daughters were taken away?
Su Nian looked at Black Rabbit with a strange expression, then turned his head to look at Leticia, whose expression had also become twisted.
Leticia, dressed in a blue and white maid outfit and looking playful and cute, looked at Black Rabbit with even more helplessness.
These words... why do they sound like you want to snatch the daughters away? Is the maternal instinct of a Moon Rabbit this strong?
She hadn't even figured out what this situation was yet.
Seeing this, Leticia couldn't help but ask.
"Master, during the time you were away, what did you do in the outside world?"
Su Nian tilted his head, looked at Black Rabbit, and said with a smile.
"Are you sure you want me to tell you now?"
"Master, please tell me."
Leticia assumed a posture of listening intently, and even Black Rabbit, who was muttering to herself on the side, couldn't help but prick up her ears.
Yes, literally pricking up her ears.
"They possess the inheritance of the Zodiac."
Su Nian said calmly.
"Hmm? Which sign?"
Leticia asked curiously; it was just an inheritance of a Sun Authority, after all, and she herself currently possessed one.
Even Su Nian still had a Sun Authority: Leo waiting to be claimed, which was the Sun Authority once held by the former Arcadia Cadre, Day Heaven Lion.
It was only after the war caused by the Absolute Evil and Angra Mainyu last time that Arcadia had retrieved its former flag and the vast majority of the heritage lost back then.
This included, but was not limited to, the Divinity of the Hina God belonging to Lily's mother, the ring used by Jin Russell's father to command spirits, and so on.
Of course, the most valuable item was still that Sun Authority.
"But what does the inheritance of a Sun Authority have to do with them becoming your daughters?"
"It's not just one sign, but the entire inheritance of the Zodiac."
Su Nian looked at Leticia, saying with a somewhat strange expression.
"Almost forgot, I also planned an inheritance related to Ophiuchus for you."
"It should be able to help you solve the problem of being unable to use the Ophiuchus Sun Authority."
Leticia fell silent for a long while, and Black Rabbit, beside her, also closed her mouth.
Only after a long while did Leticia dare to take a few deep breaths and say.
"Black Rabbit, use your ears to listen and see if there are any unidentified individuals around us observing us in secret."
Black Rabbit's ears twitched like antennas, and she nodded slightly; she also understood the gravity of the situation.
The entire inheritance of the Zodiac.
A single inheritance of the Zodiac could create a Four-digit Elite, and as for what the entire inheritance of the Zodiac could create, Black Rabbit didn't dare to imagine.
A Four-Digit Exceptional? Or perhaps even a Three-digit, with the possibility of catching a glimpse of that realm.
"I have already checked with my Referee Authority; there is no one peeking at us."
Black Rabbit looked at Leticia, who seemed to have more to say, then looked at Su Nian, and raised her hand weakly to ask.
"Then should I also step aside?"
Su Nian glanced at Black Rabbit and said, somewhat speechless.
"No need, this isn't something worth keeping secret, Black Rabbit, you don't need to be so cautious."
"These things can still be spoken of openly."
So there are still some things that cannot be spoken of openly... Leticia looked at Su Nian helplessly; her intuition told her it was better not to delve too deeply into certain matters.
Leticia looked up at Su Nian and said, somewhat uncertainly.
"Is there more? Master? If possible, please say it all at once; I don't want to be startled a few more times."
"And if you can, could you please tell me why they have the aura of my bloodline on them?"
Su Nian nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, organized his words and said.
"There shouldn't be any more for now; the specific details of other changes will only be fully realized after the observation of that world is complete."
"As for the bloodline aura of yours on them, I did that on purpose."
As he spoke, Su Nian took out a card storing a fictionalized Spirit Status and handed it to Leticia.
This was a Spirit Status Su Nian had specifically fictionalized for Leticia; for this, Su Nian had personally taken action, adding ruins and augmenting historical texts of the past, all to enhance its persuasiveness.
Fictional Spirit Origin: Fifth Progenitor; it's normal for the Four Great Progenitors to actually have five, right?
And it's also normal for a Demon King to have four Heavenly Kings under his command, right?
This was the Fifth Progenitor Su Nian had fictionalized, and also the Spirit Status of the King of the Xuegui Yizu, with a status even above the Four Great Progenitors.
If the Three True Ancestors were test subjects, and the Fourth Progenitor was a weapon meant to save the world by clearing the Familiars from the land,
then the Fifth Progenitor was the one who personally bore all the curses, sins, hatreds... and negative things in the world.
Of course, Su Nian didn't just casually create this Spirit Status for Leticia.
He had not forgotten Leticia's younger sister, Lamia Dekuleiya I, the vampire who helped Leticia bear all the vampire curses, gained a blessing rivaling billions of demon gods, turned into a monster, and was finally sealed by the Omnipotence Paradox.
If that massive amount of curses were taken on and crafted into a Familiar, then Leticia could at least gain a Four-Digit Exceptional Familiar.
And it could also resolve the Poets' curse on vampires all at once.
Plus, with the Sun Authority: Ophiuchus on Leticia, linking the Familiar with Ophiuchus would be enough to earn a sliver of a chance to break through to Three-digit.
As for the bloodline aura of Agulora and the others on Leticia, that was something that had to be created in order to fictionalize the Fifth Progenitor: King of the Blood Clan Spirit Status in Leticia's hands.
Dramatization is not fabrication, and fiction is not blind invention; even if one wants to fictionalize a Spirit Status, one must at least have corresponding historical facts, songs, and records that can prove Leticia's existence, right?
And the simplest way to prove it is through blood relations; after all, Agulora and the others couldn't just pop out of a crack in a rock.
Of course, it was also to get Agulora and the others a Pure-blooded Vampire Spirit Status; in Little Garden, a Pureblood Spirit Status must be born naturally—either heaven-born and earth-raised, or having parents who are pure-blooded.
Leticia felt the information contained within the fictional Spirit Status, looked at Su Nian with a strange expression, and remained silent for a long time.
Leticia spoke up.
"Speaking of which, Master, although I don't mind these things, I wonder if you have considered one thing."
Saying she didn't mind was a lie; in fact, Leticia minded very much. Her Gift was the Pure Vampire Princess, and as a Little Garden Knight and First Authority Hierarchy Dominator, she was also very concerned about her reputation.
"That is, what are the thoughts of your fiancée, Miss Jialing?"
Leticia stared fixedly into Su Nian's eyes with a scrutinizing look.
Cold sweat broke out; Su Nian dodged Leticia's gaze with a guilty conscience.
As a Knight, Leticia's thinking was quite conservative, and back when the Xuegui Yizu still existed, they practiced strict monogamy.
If Su Nian did not have a fiancée, Leticia would not have minded Su Nian's pursuit of her, especially after seeing Su Nian do so much for her.
She would likely have agreed directly.
