In the mountains...

Hua Qianye stood shamelessly in front of Han Wuxie's door, while Han Xingyu stood in the courtyard with a wicked smile, playing with the jade pendant in his hand, raising an eyebrow and teasingly saying, "Sister Wuxie is going into seclusion and won't be out for a while. Instead of guarding here like this, you might as well go and refine pills."

"When did I become your subordinate, you little thing!" Hua Qianye looked at Han Xingyu with great dissatisfaction. It had been a month since he entered the mountains, and Han Xingyu really treated him as a subordinate. Every day, besides urging him to refine pills, he was still refining pills.

"If you don't refine pills, how can I feed so many mouths in the Heavenly Star Evil Palace by myself?" Han Xingyu said lazily. "Actually, I'm not in a hurry. They can cultivate slowly anyway. But you should be in a hurry. If they don't become gods, you and Sister Wuxie can't get married. After all, without your parents, Sister Wuxie won't marry you."

"You!" Hua Qianye gave Han Xingyu a deep look. Han Xingyu was no longer the child he once was; he had shed his childishness and was now a fully mature man. A sense of defeat washed over Hua Qianye. Was this what it meant to see the younger generation surpass the older?

Hua Qianye sighed bitterly. What could she do? This kid was her younger brother.

"You're ruthless!" Hua Qianye flicked his sleeves and went back to refine pills. Just as Han Xingyu said, Han Xingyu was not in a hurry, but he was very anxious. If Han Mengxiao and the others did not become gods, he and Wuxie would not be able to get married. He also wanted to give her a perfect wedding, so naturally, all her relatives had to be there to give their blessings. That would be the most perfect wedding.

Han Xingyu sat leisurely in the courtyard, looking at the closed door, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

Wu Xie didn't originally need to cultivate in seclusion. If Hua Qianye hadn't been so clingy, she probably wouldn't have hidden away to cultivate, right? Is Wu Xie now aiming to cultivate to the level of a God King?

This couple is really interesting! I thought they would get married once they reached the God Realm and found each other, but I didn't expect Sister Wuxie to be so strong-willed. I heard that because her cultivation level is too low, she is always being kissed by Hua Qianye, which makes her very unhappy. How interesting!

If I could find a woman as interesting as Sister Wuxie, would I become like Hua Qianye?

Thinking back to the charmingly lazy, incredibly wicked, and even cunning Hua Qianye of yesteryear, how he has become such a rogue now, it's truly astonishing how wondrous love is! So wondrous that it can change a person in an instant!

I used to think that no matter how a person changes, it wouldn't be too surprising, but I never expected that love could have such magic.

Strictly speaking, my personality is somewhat similar to that of the past Hana Chiba, isn't it?

Will I become as shameless and shameless as he is now in the future?

"Father!" a crisp voice rang out.

Han Xingyu snapped out of her reverie and couldn't help but wonder what she had been thinking about. Had she been thinking about women?

He shook his head, a wry smile playing on his lips. He reached out and took Han Yuyuan's hand, picking up the soft little girl and placing her on his lap. He ruffled her hair and asked with a smile, "Little girl, why are you here to see your aunt so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"No, I came to see my father!" Han Yuyuan quickly shook her head, snuggling affectionately into Han Xingyu's arms, being very obedient.

Looking at the little girl's obedient appearance, Han Xingyu felt somewhat helpless. This little girl must have something to ask of him, otherwise she would never be so obedient.

Sure enough, a little girl's clear, sweet voice came from his arms, soft and gentle, with a hint of coquetry: "Daddy, look how good Auntie and Uncle are! I heard that Auntie Xuan Zimo, who came from the Root of God, is now enjoying a life of luxury in the Xuan family. The Xuan family patriarch must treat him very well. And Auntie and Uncle seem to be good people too, they must treat Xuan Zimo very well! Hurry up and find me a mother, my mother's family will definitely love me and my brother very much!"

Han Xingyu shook his head and smiled wryly. He knew this little girl wanted something from him. He pinched her mischievous little face hard and said lazily, "He's not your uncle yet!"

"But it's almost the same, it'll be sooner or later!" Han Yuyuan said in a muffled voice, "I can't even see my mother's shadow, Father, do you like women or men?"

"What are you saying!" Han Xingyu was annoyed and flicked Han Yuyuan's head hard. What kind of nonsense is going on in this little devil's head!

"I've heard that men should really like women and have many wives, the more the better! But Father is so old, yet he doesn't have a single woman. It's so strange! I've heard that men who don't marry have other fetishes, and that fetish is called..." She tilted her head, her dark eyes darting around, and nodded firmly, "That's right, it's called homosexuality!"

Han Xingyu's lips twitched several times. She tapped Han Yuyuan's head hard, laughing and crying at the same time, "You brat, you've certainly heard a lot of things! All of it is nonsense! Have you finished reading the pharmacopoeia I gave you?"

Seeing her father's sudden stern expression, Han Yuyuan's smile became somewhat stiff. She quickly jumped off Han Xingyu's lap and fled as if running away, saying, "I still have a few pages left to read!"

Watching the little girl's retreating figure, Han Xingyu was certain that the girl was being sarcastic. She said she hadn't read a few pages, but she had only read a few! What a troublesome child! She spends her time asking about all sorts of nonsense instead of studying medicine properly. It seems she can't count on her to inherit his mantle!

Han Xingyu stretched and suddenly a mischievous smile appeared on his face. He knew that Sister Wuxie had already obtained Wanlimiao's memories and had also found out some things about Wanlimiao. Because of the drama involving the Demon God, he had become somewhat curious about the Demon God Realm. In principle, gods could not enter the Demon God Realm, but he was a being wholly divine and demonic, transcending the three realms, so he could easily enter the Demon God Realm!

"I wonder what the Demon Realm is like?" He raised a wicked smile, and with a flicker, he vanished without a trace.

……

The realm of gods and demons.

In the magnificent hall of the Jin army, a man leaned back on a huge throne.

He looked to be in his early thirties and had a heroic and extraordinary figure, but his eyes were cloudy and dim, indicating that he was already very old.

The person kneeling on the ground said excitedly, "Your Majesty, the Golden Dragon Tendon obtained from the Dragon Cave has been crafted into a top-grade divine artifact."

The Mad Demon God sneered, narrowing his eyes, and said, "If that thing hadn't ruined my plans back then, I would be the overlord of the Demon God Realm today! Even though he's dead, I will still skin him alive!"

The person kneeling on the ground couldn't help but tremble. The mad ancient god was becoming more and more violent, which was truly terrifying.

"How's that kid Yu Xuan doing?" The Mad Demon Ancient God asked with amusement, raising his wine cup.

The person kneeling on the ground said in a trembling voice, "The Jade King..."

The Mad Demon Ancient God's gaze turned cold, and he sneered, "His cultivation is completely destroyed; he's nothing more than a mortal from the divine realm. What kind of king is he?"

The man kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed and begged for forgiveness: "I was wrong, that person is still locked in the cage."

"Very well, anyone who dares to defy this ancient god, even if he is his son, will not be spared! Killing him is not as good as torturing him, making him suffer a fate worse than death, until his lifespan is exhausted, how interesting!" He tilted his head back and finished the whole cup of wine, licked his lower lip in lingering taste, and smiled bloodthirstyly, his face extremely ferocious: "Get out of here."

"Yes, Your subordinate takes his leave." He staggered out of the main hall from his knees, and only breathed a long sigh of relief after he had gone a long way. He was very scared and did not want to work under the Mad Demon Ancient God, but he also knew that if he wanted to leave his subordinate, he would only die. How could a person who was so ruthless to his own son be soft on him, his subordinate?

He couldn't help but tremble when he recalled the Jade King's situation in the cage.

As its name suggests, the cage is used to imprison untamed demonic beasts. Imagine how terrifying it must be to be locked up with such creatures.

……

In the pitch-black dungeon, only pairs of crazed, bestial eyes could be seen, and terrifying fangs gleamed menacingly in the moonlight.

Her frail body leaned against the corner, her wrists and ankles bound by heavy shackles.

His clothes were so worn that their original color was no longer discernible; they were now entirely crimson. His body was covered in wounds, and his pale face was also covered in sores, making him look extremely terrifying.

His dark eyes were empty and lifeless; he wanted to die, but he couldn't even choose to die.

He had been here for an unknown amount of time, more than tens of millions of years, so long that he no longer knew the exact number of days.

He looked at the scratches on the wall, so dense that there was no space left for new ones to be drawn.

I vaguely remember that I used all my cultivation and burned my life to stop the Mad Demon Ancient God. I was going to self-destruct and perish together with him, but I didn't expect that the Mad Demon Ancient God would seal me and destroy all my cultivation. The Mad Demon Ancient God was also seriously injured. When he saw Miao'er and the Divine Wind King fall into the cold pool, he seemed disappointed, but he was more of a cold gloating.

The Mad Demon Ancient God brought him back to the God and Demon Realm and then abandoned him here, in a place where he never saw the light of day and spent his days with mutated demon beasts without any intelligence. He was used by these beasts as a tool to grind their teeth, and every time he was nearly bitten to death, he even looked forward to being bitten to death. But that cruel guy would not allow him to die, and every time he would use a divine pill to revive him and continue to let him live a life worse than death here.

"Miao'er..." His voice was hoarse and even somewhat unclear. Over the years, apart from these two words, he seemed to have forgotten how to pronounce other words.

There seemed to be a glimmer in the corner of my eye; it was moonlight reflecting off the water vapor, or it was tears.

Did that person I longed for truly perish because of the blood sacrifice for the Beast Taming Melody?

How I wish I could be like the Divine Wind King, accompanying her to perish in the icy pool. Even if we couldn't be together in life, being able to be buried together in death would be a blessing.

Unfortunately, even this humble blessing was so far out of reach for him.

……

A little girl in red, a little boy in red, and a little boy in white—the three children walked side by side down the street, attracting countless stares and scrutiny.

"This little girl is really cute." An uncle's voice rang out. Looking in the direction of the voice, Han Yuyuan frowned, clearly disliking the girl.

With a full beard, holding a gourd of wine in his hand, and somewhat burly, his first impression was indeed a little embarrassing.

It's baffling that someone who's clearly a genius doesn't bother to fix their disguise.

Who doesn't want to look likable? Only a few oddballs would choose not to change their appearance and keep an ugly face to scare people.

"Little girl, don't you like your uncle?" This uncle was quite shameless, calling himself "uncle" when he didn't even know her.

Han Zhufeng suddenly stood in front of Han Yuyuan. He had been following Hua Qianye around these days, learning from him and imitating him, all because Han Yuyuan had said that she liked people like Hua Qianye.

At this moment, he imitated Hua Qianye's sometimes arrogant and wicked manner, wearing a rather sarcastic and poorly executed wicked smile, and lazily said, "Hey, who's calling you uncle? If you want to claim kinship, go find someone else!"

Han Yuyuan looked at Han Zhufeng with great frustration. The more she looked at him, the more displeased she became. He used to be more pleasing to the eye, silly and clumsy, and seemed easy to bully. Now he always imitated his future uncle-in-law, and his imitations were strange.

"Hey kid, you're not bad either. Call me uncle, and I'll give you candy!" This rather unattractive uncle, with a fawning smile, indeed produced three large red candies stuck on sticks from his pocket.

"Uncle, are you out of your mind?" Han Yuyuan frowned, tilted her head, and looked at him.

The not-so-handsome middle-aged man scratched his head and said with a mournful expression, "Don't you guys like candy? I thought all kids liked candy!"

Han Yuyan, dressed in white, frowned and stepped forward, shielding the two children in red behind her. She said in a low voice, "Who are you? We don't know you. Why are you blocking our way?"

The not-so-handsome middle-aged man put away the candy, scratched his head, and carefully examined the three children again, checking their bloodline fluctuations. He said blankly, "They clearly have the same bloodline fluctuations as me!"

Upon hearing this, the three children looked at each other, then simultaneously examined the bloodline aura of the suddenly appearing man. They were instantly astonished; indeed, there was a resemblance, suggesting they were close relatives.

"Uncle, what's your surname?" Han Yuyuan stepped forward and slapped him hard.

The not-so-good-looking middle-aged man paused for a moment, then smiled, revealing a mouthful of awful yellow teeth!

"My surname is Han!"

"His surname is Han..." Han Yuyan looked at her brother, Han Yuyan, and said softly, "Is he an elder?"

"Such a strange elder?" Han Yuyan felt a pang of distress.

Han Zhufeng still imitated Hua Qianye, wearing an evil smile, which was quite inappropriate.

Han Yuyan angrily slapped Han Zhufeng's head and cursed, "What are you laughing at? Your laugh is awful!"

Seeing her sister's shrewish nature, Han Yuyan trembled slightly and silently mourned for Han Zhufeng.

Han Zhufeng frowned, his smile fading as he reverted to his usual somewhat naive demeanor. He pouted and said discontentedly, "Didn't Yu Yuan herself say she liked men like her future uncle? Doesn't her future uncle always have that smirk on his face?"

"His face is so alluring, and with that wicked smile, he looks wicked, yet quite charming. You should look in the mirror; your innocent, childlike face, paired with that smile, looks really strange, like…" Han Yuyuan tilted her head, thought for a long time, and slowly said, "Like a lovesick fool, a lovesick fool who always has a smile on his face!"

Han Yuyan suddenly remembered something and chuckled, "I remember Auntie saying that Uncle is like a lovesick fool! To us, Uncle's smile is nice, but in Auntie's eyes, Uncle always has a smile on his face, like a lovesick fool!"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhufeng was not angry at all; on the contrary, he became happy and smiled brightly, saying, "Yu Yuan sees me as a lovesick fool, just like my aunt sees her future uncle as a lovesick fool. She likes me!"

Han Yuyan was stunned, while Han Yuyuan was furious.

The middle-aged man standing to the side was a little puzzled, as if he had been ignored by the three children.

He coughed deliberately, but the three children continued talking to themselves, completely ignoring him.

"Han Zhufeng, you big infatuated fool!" Han Yuyuan scolded angrily.

Han Zhufeng, with an extremely smug smile, said, "My future uncle always says that when my aunt scolds or hits him, it's because she loves him! Hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love! Yu Yuan, I know you like me!"

Han Yuyan covered her face, wanting to say that she didn't know these two people. One was a fierce girl who was her sister, and the other was a stupid person who shamelessly asked for insults and abuse who was her cousin. It was too terrible. How could she be their brother?

The uncle looked at the three children with great frustration, and began to wonder who their aunt and future uncle were, and what kind of elders they were that could raise such children. The words these three children were saying were truly astonishing!

"Could you send someone to talk to me?" The middle-aged man finally couldn't help but ask weakly, his tone pleading.

"I'm busy!" Han Yuyuan said impatiently.

"No time!" Han Zhufeng snorted coldly.

"No time!" Han Yuyan replied indifferently.

Three children, one after another, were a huge blow to the middle-aged man, who uttered two words.

The uncle hung his head in utter frustration. He had finally found a blood-related relative in the realm of gods, but it turned out to be three such unreliable children!

He persisted, saying, "If the bloodline is correct, I am your elder, perhaps even older than your uncle."

"So what?" Han Yuyan finally glanced at him.

Receiving such a condescending gaze from the other party, the uncle felt a surge of joy, yet also a sense of self-degradation. In the past, if anyone dared to look at him like that, he would have gouged out their eyes and soaked them in wine. Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of shame and happiness today. Perhaps he had gone a little crazy from being ignored by these three children before, and now he felt that this condescending gaze was a great blessing.

"It has been over 300 million years since I ascended from the Immortal Realm to the God Realm!" the uncle exclaimed, his gaze drifting into the distance.

As he reminisced about the glorious days in the immortal realm, he suddenly heard a voice pouring cold water on his feelings: "Over three hundred million years, and you're the God-King?"

The middle-aged man snapped out of his daze and looked at Han Yuyan, whose voice was languid and tinged with disdain as she looked at him. A wave of unease washed over him. To become a God-King after three hundred million years—what an incredible feat! Some people even pass away and remain merely Main Gods! These three children are far too ambitious and incompetent!

Just as he was about to retort, he saw Han Yuyuan looking at him with a childlike and adorable expression, her voice sweet and obedient as she teased him, "My Wuxie Aunt has only been in the God Realm for less than a year, and she's almost a God King! My future uncle-in-law is already at the peak of the God King realm! Uncle, you're really useless; it'll take you three hundred million years to reach the early stage of the God King realm!"
