I was born a god, the son of the Demon Lord.

On the Demon Palace side.

Shen Jiuyuan wrote the entire piece under Xu Yuan's watchful eye, scrutinizing every single word and sentence.

After finishing writing, Xu Yuan checked it ten times from beginning to end.

Only after confirming there was no coded message did he feel relieved enough to have it sent out of the Demon Palace and relayed to the Demon Realm.

There was virtually no room for Shen Jiuyuan to tamper with things.

In the end, what was sent out was just a perfectly normal filing document.

The content is simple and straightforward: I have found a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion for several months. All matters, large and small, in the Demon Realm have been handled by the four Demon Generals, each performing their duties and guarding the borders. There is no need to search for them.

The letter traveled through the barrier and was delivered into the Demon Realm Palace.

Inside the hall, Shen Jing, the leader of the four demon generals, immediately took the letter.

He was the strongest of the four demon generals, but he was actually all brawn and no brains.

It was precisely because he was pure of heart and knew nothing of scheming that he was the only one who could stay by Shen Jiuyuan's side for many years.

Shen Jing carefully read through the entire text and confirmed that it was indeed written by His Majesty himself.

But as he watched, his mind automatically switched to a crazy, imaginative mode!

Some time ago, His Excellency suddenly and mysteriously disappeared without a trace!

Now, suddenly, news has been sent that they are in seclusion, forbidden from being explored, and their whereabouts are being concealed!

Furthermore, considering His Excellency's recent strange demeanor and frequent absent-mindedness!

A perfect, reasonable, and incredibly touching answer instantly took shape in his silly, adorable mind!

Shen Jing's eyes widened suddenly, and she exclaimed on the spot, "I understand!!"

Cangshu, who was sitting quietly tending to his demonic affairs, looked up when he heard the sound, glanced at him indifferently, and a familiar, speechless premonition rose in his heart.

Shen Jing clenched the letter, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.

"Your Majesty did this to protect the two children, fearing that enemies from the Demon Realm might spy on them, or that someone with malicious intent might harm them!"

"That's why she deliberately hid everything and went to a secluded place to recuperate and prepare for childbirth!!"

The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed, and the more moved he became!

His Majesty is clearly awe-inspiring throughout the Three Realms and is omnipotent.

Even bearing children requires such caution and self-restraint, silently bearing all the risks!

How could there be such a gentle, responsible, and great father in the world?!

Shen Jing swiftly pulled out a clean black handkerchief from her waist, gripped the corners with both hands, and frantically wiped away tears onto the letter.

Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably, choking back tears: "My lord has had it so hard..."

"Too reserved, too gentle..."

"Willing to hide away and suffer alone for the sake of my child!"

"The best father in the world is undoubtedly His Excellency!!"

Cangzhu watched coldly from the sidelines the whole time.

His face was numb, speechless, and he couldn't bear to watch anymore.

He silently looked at his colleague, who was the pinnacle of combat power but lacked common sense.

It's started again.

They've started indulging in mindless speculation and self-pity again.

He knew it without even thinking.

Given His Excellency's cold and selfish nature, if she were truly pregnant, he would absolutely kill her and have her aborted immediately. How could he possibly endure the pregnancy and go into seclusion for love?!

Only someone as simple-minded as Shen Jing could be moved to tears by a mere report letter.

Cangzhu gently rubbed his forehead, utterly exhausted.

It really can't carry any more.

Although Cangshu disliked Shen Jing for overthinking things, he still reached out and took the letter, carefully examining it from all angles several times.

Every single word is indeed His Majesty's own handwriting.

He frowned slightly, deep in thought.

With your cultivation level, there are very few people in the six realms who can injure you.

If they were to suffer a fatal blow or be in grave danger, it would be impossible for them to calmly write such a well-organized letter, let alone specifically instruct them to guard the Demon Realm and not to search for it.

So it seems...

It is highly likely that His Majesty is indeed preoccupied with personal matters and is deliberately hiding his whereabouts and going into seclusion.

As for whether it's for nurturing the fetus or for spiritual practice, let's leave that aside for now.

The most important thing right now is not to speculate wildly about His Majesty's private affairs.

Instead, they firmly guard the Demon Realm's territory. As long as the Demon Realm remains stable, no matter what the Venerable One does outside, there will be no worries about the future.

Having figured this out, Cangzhu completely suppressed his doubts.

He glanced up at Shen Jing, who was still secretly wiping away tears and looking deeply moved, and decided not to bother correcting his overthinking.

Anyway, this simpleton is too slow to understand, so explanations are useless.

Cangzhu said calmly, "Since it is His Majesty's personal decree, we shall obey it."

Shen Jing nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Regardless of what others think, he has completely accepted that his master is a kind and gentle father!

The two were extremely in sync, and neither of them uttered a single word to the outside world.

One option is to see through it but not say anything.

One option is to indulge in self-pity and wishful thinking.

The two immediately went about their respective duties, keeping silent about the contents of the letter and only making an official announcement to the public.

The Demon Lord is in seclusion, refusing all visits from outside the realm.

……

Thousand Feather Demon Palace.

The bedchamber was quiet. The Demon Lord was chained to the bed and closed his eyes to rest. He appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was constantly plotting his escape.

Inside the eggshell.

A crisp system notification suddenly exploded in Xu Nan's mind!

[Ding! Host has successfully checked in!]

[Congratulations, host, for successfully surviving for thirty days inside the Demon Lord's womb, completing the monthly check-in task!]

[Cumulative check-in rewards stack up, talent domains unlocked!]

[Gained Talent: Dreamlike Realm!]

Xu Nanyi instantly perked up, flapping her little golden wings and hovering in the womb space, her eyes full of wonder.

A dreamlike realm?

"Sister Tongzi, what are the effects of this domain? Is it powerful?"

[The Dream Realm, a primordial realm of illusion.]

[Within this domain, all things are governed by the host's thoughts and arise spontaneously.]

[It can fabricate real scenes, replicate the past, weave illusions, and alter perceptions.]

[It provides absolute internal security and isolates the country from all external forces; externally, it can trap, confuse, and undermine the enemy, making it difficult to discern their true intentions.]

[Domain Permissions: The host can freely enter and exit without incurring any costs, and can freely summon designated allies into the domain, without being restricted by space or barriers.]

Xu Nanyi's pupils lit up!

Invincible cheat!

It's a realm where you can do whatever you want and have all your wishes fulfilled!

She was incredibly curious, and an idea immediately struck her.

The next instant, the surrounding space trembled slightly.

A vast, clean, and empty independent space unfolded instantly; this was the initial form of her Dream Realm.

Empty, pure white and boundless, ridiculously clean.

At the same time, Shen Xizhou, inside the dragon egg next door, was instantly pulled out of the eggshell and into the pure white domain by a gentle yet domineering spatial force.

Caught off guard, Shen Xizhou blinked blankly. The small dragon body floated in the pure white void, its eyes full of confusion.

Xu Nanyi looked around and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"All white? This is so empty, how can I cast an illusion? It doesn't look very powerful."
