I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

The Fate Cult has already been wiped out. Why rush in now to avenge the Fate Cult?

Unless there's something seriously wrong with their brain.

As for the fact that these demons have grown up, what does that have to do with them?

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up; Tianyang Palace and Yantian Island are those tall ones.

He swaggered out of the cultivators' encirclement, and not only did no one make a move, but no one even spoke.

"Don't worry, those people definitely won't dare to come up." Bai Qingyu said confidently. After leaving the encirclement, he transformed into his true form, grabbed two people with one claw, flapped his wings and flew into the sky, heading towards Tongzhou at full speed.

Bai Qingyu disappeared from the perception range, and the surrounding cultivators dispersed as well.

Although nothing seemed to have happened, Bai Qingyu and his group's names and appearances had already spread throughout the cultivation world, and their "popularity" was quite high.

For no apparent reason, a new power suddenly appeared in the world.

This faction is called the Divine Phoenix Faction.

Everyone lamented the fate of the Fate Cult and couldn't help but sigh.

Is this phoenix really good at raising its offspring?

The people who came to rescue her this time, apart from the leader of the Heavenly Cult, were all her children. These children were all incredibly strong and talented, each one more terrifying than the last.

The most outrageous thing is that the Heavenly Sword of Tianyang Palace and the Demonic Sword of Tianjiao are also her children!

When the two swords are drawn simultaneously, chaos ensues.

So here's the question: what if these two people were raised by the same mother?

Some people thought about it carefully and felt that it was somewhat terrifying upon closer examination.

Both the Heavenly Sword and the Demon Sword are children of the Divine Phoenix. The Heavenly Sword is the closed-door disciple of the Golden Void Peak Master, and the Demon Sword is the son-in-law of the Heavenly Sect Master. Then there's the Lord of Nanshan. If this guy is given a few years or a dozen years, he'll probably become the true Demon King of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

In other words, this Divine Phoenix not only has a background in the Heavenly Sun Palace, but is also a guest of honor of the Heavenly Sect, yet the Demon King still obeys her every command.

There are only three major powers in the world.

Righteous sects, demonic cults, and demon races.

Those who had previously attempted to harm Bai Qingyu were now unaware of the situation and could only feel relieved.

Thankfully, I didn't make a move, otherwise offending this person would have caused a lot of trouble.

They're not exaggerating; the examples are right in front of us.

I found it strange before. The Fate Sect is a righteous sect, right? Even if it made a mess of Xizhou, the Fate Sect is not a demonic sect. Since it is not a demonic sect, the Yang Palace has a reason to take action.

However, Tianyang Palace did not have it.

Someone spotted Lingjian Xianyunru and Fengyuan in Xizhou. These two, working together, are no less formidable than Ji Canghai.

Why didn't they make a move?

Because of the special identity of the Divine Phoenix.

The Heavenly Sun Palace couldn't possibly be indifferent to that little girl wielding the Heavenly Sword.

That would be interesting if this happened to one's own sect.

After capturing the Divine Phoenix, the entire Ten Thousand Mountains mobilized. Not only that, the Heavenly Sect also took action directly. Immediately afterwards, all the surrounding sects gathered to watch the show and asked their elder brother, the Heavenly Sun Palace, for help. The elder brother immediately replied, saying that he would be there soon and that his brother should hold on, but then no one came.

After the battle was over here and the sects were wiped out, the Seven Sons of Tianyang showed up to say they were late and regretted it.

That might be an exaggeration, but nobody dares to gamble, nor can they afford to.

·

Bai Qingyu never imagined that one day she would be able to achieve the highest status in history among the demon race, the Nascent Soul stage, thanks to her son's prestige. At this moment, she had just returned to Tongzhou and, led by everyone, arrived at the small courtyard in the center of Mushan.

Bai Qingyu landed far away, gazing at the small courtyard.

The courtyard was unfamiliar, but she knew the children in it very well.

Bai Qingyu walked at the front, and Shuten and the others behind her did not notice the tears glistening in the corners of Bai Qingyu's eyes. They only saw Bai Qingyu reach out and wipe her face.

I'm finally home...

Pushing open the door, Bai Qingyu stood at the entrance, her gaze sweeping over Xiao Die, then over Xiao Yao, glancing at Zhen, and then at the little snake, before finally settling on Zhen Tian.

"Shinten, children, I'm back..." she called softly.

Several girls in the courtyard froze on the spot. When they realized it really was Bai Qingyu, they quickly dropped what they were holding and rushed towards her.

"Mother!"

"aunt!"

"Sister Bai!"

When Zhen Tian and the others hugged her, Bai Qingyu still tried to control her emotions.

As the head of the household, how can I cry so easily, especially in front of the children?

But I just couldn't stop the tears.

A year is a very short time for monks.

For Bai Qingyu and her separated children, this year of separation felt so long it was almost despairing.

"Okay, okay, I'm back now."

"Tonight, let's all enjoy a proper family reunion dinner together!"

Please vote for me, sob sob sob

Volume 1: Chapter 228 Let's go to the hot springs together, little sister Zhentian!

Nowhere is better than home, and the most important thing about home is family. Bai Qingyu felt this more and more deeply, especially over the past year.

Holding Xiao Yao in her arms, Bai Qingyu sat in the courtyard and told everyone what she had experienced in the past year. She originally wanted to talk about her life in Xishan, but after noticing Zhen Tian's gaze, she quickly changed her words.

If we say at this point that she went to Xishan, wouldn't that embarrass Zhentian?

"Originally, I wanted to bring that child back, but some unexpected things happened."

"Let me tell you about this child first. His name is Onikiri, and he's a very powerful yokai. I followed him back to his hometown, and along the way I noticed that he always ate those cold steamed buns..."

Bai Qingyu slightly adapted Luo Qie's story.

The story doesn't primarily focus on the Church of Fate and Roche's story, but rather revolves around Roche's childhood.

Compared to the cult of destiny, Roche's childhood story is more thought-provoking.

He said that the feeling of hunger was always around him, and he was always looking for ways to fill his stomach and make the hunger go away. Every time he ate his fill, the hunger was still there, just a little weaker.

"Actually, even if he stuffs himself to death, it won't change his situation."

"Perhaps for him, death is the true liberation."

After saying that, Xiao Yao, who was in her arms, turned around, her small face full of worry. "Mother, can you still find him?"

"We should be able to find him, but even if we do, he will no longer be himself, but someone else, someone else with the same soul."

"Oh, he's so pitiful."

Bai Qingyu patted Xiao Yao's head, smiling but not answering. In her opinion, Luo Qie wasn't pitiful; his entire life was tragic. But this ending was quite good for him. It might not be perfect, but it was definitely what he wanted to see.

Having avenged himself and repaid the debt of gratitude to the cult, the hunger he felt finally vanished in the last moment of his life.

In fact, no one, including myself, could understand Roche's hunger. Perhaps Xiaodie could feel it, but she was far from being as hungry as Roche.

After finishing their conversation, Bai Qingyu and Zhen Tian exchanged a glance.

"Alright, you guys wait here in the yard. Your sister Zhentian and I will go prepare dinner."

"Mmmmmmm!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard about dinner.

Having gotten used to Bai Qingyu's cooking, eating out or other people's food feels like something is missing. Even when Zhen Tian cooks himself, there's still a significant gap compared to Bai Qingyu's skills.

Zhen Tian has only been learning to cook for a few years, and she learned it all from Bai Qingyu. Naturally, her skills are not as good as Bai Qingyu's.

The one with the strongest reaction was Shuten-dōji. His injuries hadn't healed, and now that he had successfully brought his aunt home, his tense nerves could finally relax, so he looked a little listless.

When she heard that Bai Qingyu was going to cook, her eyes lit up, and her weak expression vanished.

Over the course of the year, Xiao Yao and the others who stayed at home could at least eat the meals cooked by Zhen Tian, ​​but he couldn't. He was fighting outside almost every day, either fighting or on his way to fight, so he rarely got to go home for meals.

The wine left by Bai Qingyu was all gone, and the wine they bought outside just didn't taste right.

So when talking about Roche's hunger, Shuten felt a little relieved. Luckily, he had shamelessly pestered his aunt back then, otherwise he would still be eating those incredibly bad grilled meat and fish in the mountains, which had no taste at all except for the burnt smell.

As for the ingredients, Shuten didn't need to prepare them himself. He could just notify his underlings, and all sorts of top-quality ingredients would be delivered directly to the yard.

Looking at the various ingredients that had been delivered, Bai Qingyu stood at the kitchen door with a smile on her face. "Not bad, Shuten-dōji. Now you don't even have to go out hunting anymore. You've really become a demon king."

Feeling a little embarrassed by Bai Qingyu's words, Shuten scratched his head and said, "It just happened like this while we were fighting."

"Sure, keep up the good work. Remember the 'Ten Thousand Mountains' I told you about? Once you make another step forward, you can go there and give it a try. Bring your little brothers with you."

Bai Qingyu hadn't known the strength of the Ten Thousand Mountains before, but now he probably did.

Their overall strength is definitely much greater than she thought; there are certainly two or three Mahayana cultivators, or even more.

Shuten-dōji is not weak now, but he has not yet reached the point of unifying the Ten Thousand Mountains.

We should wait until he reaches his combined strength before we can even try.

It's just unknown whether a new demon king will appear in the Ten Thousand Mountains. If so, then we'll have to keep pushing it back. If not, then it's definitely an opportunity for Shuten-dōji.

It's true that his strength hasn't reached the Mahayana stage, but the old demons of the Hundred Thousand Mountains will be very satisfied when they see Shuten-dōji. Because of his age and talent, he already possesses this level of strength at such a young age; what about the future?

Shuten-dōji has a lot of potential for growth; he's got the makings of a demon king.

"Alright, Auntie, just watch! I, Shuten-dōji, will definitely become the strongest demon king!" Shuten-dōji laughed heartily, hands on his hips. He had rediscovered the feeling he had when he lived with Bai Qingyu.

That confident and arrogant expression made Ibaraki, who was standing to the side, feel his blood boil.

However, Shuten-dōji's state did not last long. He was dashing for less than ten seconds before his expression suddenly changed. His smile became ingratiating, and his expression was somewhat obsequious.

He rubbed his hands together and came to Bai Qingyu's side. "Hehehe, Aunt, all the wine you left behind when you left last time has been drunk. Do you want me to prepare some more?"

Bai Qingyu looked over, and Shuten immediately stood up straight. "The sake jars have all been washed and prepared, and the ingredients are all ready too!"
