Chapter 579: Chapter 577: I Am Me, He Is Him
“Yes, Dad is preparing to make roasted durian for Mom. Do you want some?” Welly spoke in a hushed tone, holding his breath.
Little Fengning looked at the large durian on the ground and blinked, “I want some too. Dad, roast a portion for me as well.”
“You can have some if you do your homework well,” Welly replied.
Sally also said, “Go on, it’ll be ready soon.”
Little Fenging thought for a moment, “I remember Dad saying that roasting durian is a complicated process that takes two and a half hours.”
Sally froze, “Is it, is it really?”
Then she looked back at Welly’s face.
Welly’s forehead twitched slightly, “Yes.”
Little Fengning went back inside to continue with his homework.
Sally glanced at the blood in the cracks of the durian, “Your son said two and a half hours.”
“Mhm.” Welly didn’t even frown.
“Actually, I came here this time to talk to you about something,” Sally said as she took a chair and sat down next to him.
Welly said, “Go ahead.”
“Little Beibei has dual personalities.” Sally took out Little Beibei, who had fallen into a stupor, to whom she had affixed a Slumber Talisman.
It was made by Little Shisi. Once stuck, one could fall asleep. In the past, he and Little Shiwu had been frequently tagged by their dad and now could fall asleep instantly.
Little Fengning was doing his homework when suddenly a figure in a green robe appeared in the corner of his eye.
Looking up, he saw Qing Linghuan and immediately called out, “Hello, Uncle Qing.”
Qing Linghuan nodded, “Good boy~”
Xiao Tiantian was lying on Qing Linghuan’s shoulder, white as snow. Of its nine tails, eight were tucked away, leaving just one visible, making it look almost like any other Spirit Fox. But still, it had attracted countless glances along the way.
“Brother~” Xiao Tiantian flung herself towards Little Fengning.
Little Fengning dropped his pen and embraced her, “Xiao Tiantian, can Brother give you a kiss?”
“Okay.” Xiao Tiantian closed her eyes, a look of bliss on her little face.
Qing Linghuan paid no attention to the brothers’ sweet moment and went straight into the backyard.
He saw Welly kneeling on the durian… kneeling so that blood flowed from one knee, while he extracted the Ancient Demon Remnant Force from within Little Beibei.
Sally kept her gaze fixed on Little Beibei until there was no more residue of the ancient demon’s power left inside her, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Qing Linghuan, holding a camera, ‘click~’ took a photo of Welly.
Welly: “…”
Sally couldn’t help but laugh speechlessly, “What are you going to do with that?”
“Of course I’m going to show everyone. The almighty Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm kneeling to a durian. Maybe I should make millions of copies and scatter them across the Demon Realm, show it to those from the Demon Clan who acknowledge you as their leader. They might just switch allegiance to the Demon Lord immediately.”
“No matter.” Welly had ascended to the Demon Realm with no intention of claiming the throne, nor did he wish to be oppressed, yet found himself climbing step by step to the position of the Demon Emperor.
Unintentionally, what he did bore fruit.
Sally put Little Beibei back into the System Space and let Xiaomei check her condition.
Looking at the durian now stained red with blood, “Okay, go and roast it. If you don’t do it well, kneel again!”
“…That won’t happen.” Welly stood up, taking the durian to the kitchen.
Qing Linghuan asked Sally, “Have you forgiven him?”
Sally answered, “Let’s observe a bit longer, Little Fengning can’t be without a dad. If he were like Little Dot, unaware of who his biological father is, then it would be a different story. But Little Fengning and Welly have a great relationship, they may complain verbally, but underneath is an irreplaceable importance to each other.”
Qing Linghuan nodded, “He is him, Jian is Jian. You must distinguish clearly between them and not be fooled again by them.”
Sally shook her head, “Ah! To tell the truth, I really can’t tell them apart!”
When Xiao Tiantian saw Sally, he immediately reached out his paws wanting a hug.
Sally hugged him, his body soft and chubby, lacking sharp bones and corners—a clear sign that Qing Linghuan had taken good care of him.
“It seems you haven’t missed any meals with your dad,” Sally commented, pinching a particularly soft piece of flesh on his belly.
Little Fengning also pinched his own arm… The previously lotus-root-jointed arm had turned into a small bamboo shoot, “Mom, I’ve lost weight.”
“You’ve just shot up,” said Sally, looking at his nurturing data, he had grown more than five centimeters this past month.
Qing Linghuan pulled an ancient book off the shelf and said with surprise, “He actually has this lost artifact.”
“What?” Sally leaned in for a look, and saw the title—Taiyi Subduing Demon Four Gods Array.
“Does it have anything to do with the Supreme One Technique?”
“Both were written by God Venerable Taiyi, this is an incomplete volume. However, your master should be able to complete it.”
“My unreliable master, Qing?”
“Your master is indeed a residual consciousness of God Venerable Taiyi.”
“…” Sally was shocked. “He is a residual consciousness of God Venerable Taiyi?”
Welly came in with grilled durian, wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt, holding his breath in calmness, “I’m here.”
Seeing the golden-brown grilled durian, emitting a sweet fragrance, Sally’s appetite immediately surged.
Qing Linghuan didn’t like the smell either and immediately left with his younger son.
Welly followed them out, casually picking up a broom from the corner of the door to clean outside.
Little Fengning, following Sally, was particularly fond of durian and took a small piece of it, eating it in one bite.
“It’s so delicious.”
“Right? Then eat more. Eh? Where’s Xiao Tiantian?”
Upon hearing Sally call his name, Xiao Tiantian wriggled out of Qing Linghuan’s arms and ran into the house, calling back as he went, “Mom, what are you eating, it smells so good!”
Qing Linghuan wanted to grab him, but when he heard the little guy also liked durian, he let him go.
“With this thing, those who like it really love it, and those who don’t act as if it’s lethal,” Welly said to Qing Linghuan.
Qing Linghuan glanced toward his knee, “Doesn’t it hurt anymore?”
“As long as I can stay, I don’t care if my leg is broken.” Welly had planted some vegetables in the small flower bed outside the door, now growing lush and vibrant.
Looking at him, Qing Linghuan asked, “Can he still take you back now?”
Welly nodded, “He can.”
Pity shone in Qing Linghuan’s eyes.
At first, he also regarded Welly and Jian as one.
Later, he realized that Welly and Jian were very different.
Welly actually had very deep feelings for Sally. He loved Sally deeply, but knowing that Jian harbored designs on Sally and unable to betray Jian, he tried to stay as far away from Sally as possible.
It was only when Jian also developed romantic feelings for Sally that his emotions almost merged with Jian’s.
Latterly, Welly abandoned his cultivation base, even the Primordial Demon Power, resolutely choosing reincarnation. Starting over to become the Demon Emperor… but he might still be making wedding clothes for someone else.
“So, wasn’t your thousand years in vain?”
“It wasn’t in vain, now I am me, and he is him. It’s more important for Yanyan to understand this.”
“Did you force her?” Qing Linghuan inquired.
Welly’s ears turned slightly red, “I was worried that Jian might… at any time, so I wanted to possess her while I uniquely had the chance. I didn’t expect to hurt her.”
“It might not be the case. You probably don’t realize, Yanyan actually quite likes role-playing. She was even wilder when she was with You Hao. She probably saw you as Jian and couldn’t accept it, but after realizing who you really are, she was fine.”
“… Yes. Jian has returned to the Dark World Continent, he’s not bound by the Rule of Heavenly Dao.”
“I used to be free from those bonds too, and it was truly great. Now… alas! It’s a pity I can’t find Haotian anymore, otherwise, I’d let him steal my Divine Status again.”
“I know where Haotian is.”
