The overlord of the gods is interrogating the alien female spy.

　Therefore, the current situation can be understood.

　Chen Lingxu was no longer in Terra, but in the warp near Terra. He led Shu to a hole the gardener had created in the material world, and through that gap, they entered the warp.

　Only here can he freely use his power without worrying about accidentally tearing Terra's crust in two and causing a mass extinction of Terra's creatures.

　As for the millet below, all it needs to do is expel the pollution accumulated on her body here, and she will feel completely refreshed when she returns to the real world, without even needing to take medicine.

　"almost."

　Looking down, she saw that the small flowerbed was already covered with millet seeds, and she was standing in the center of the flowerbed, happily turning around in circles.

　"You've played around long enough, now come into my bowl, Century Egg."

　Having said that, the Qilin Celestial Venerable no longer concealed his aura—a cold, black sun in subspace!

　Gravity transformed into his invisible hand, grabbing the tangible preserved egg and instantly refining it!

　"—"

　An invisible wind blew across the fields, and the millet, its hair tangled, looked up at the sky.

　"Little Ruins!"

　She couldn't see what was happening in the sky; all she could do was use her own strength to sow seeds here, constantly generating meaningful 'beings' through the power of cause and effect, to drive away the meaningless 'non-beings' represented by those rootless flowers.

　Perhaps this way she can give the Qilin fighting that demon in the sky the upper hand.

　But is what she did really meaningful?

　She didn't have time to think about these things; as soon as she saw the Qilin land on the ground, she immediately ran to his side.

　"How are you feeling? Where are you hurt? If you're injured, you must tell me. Don't try to be brave!"

　She disregarded the differences between men and women, and nervously and concernedly kept touching his arms and body.

　"You're so noisy and nagging, are you even my mom?"

　Chen Lingxu's previous rebuke suddenly angered the person in front of him.

　"You child! I'm just concerned about you! Besides, didn't you treat me like your mother first? You clearly care about me, but you pretend to be angry with this attitude."

　"you……"

　"What do you mean, 'you'? You're so insincere! You're a grown man, yet you're so hesitant and indecisive. I'm much more straightforward than you."

　"Ok?"

　"What do you mean, 'hmm'? Am I wrong? Don't you like my cooking? You almost cried back then, didn't you? I saw it the whole time."

　Shu knew she shouldn't have acted this way; after all, she was an adult and shouldn't have argued with this child. But after planting the seeds, she felt incredibly relaxed, as if all the hard work of the past few years had vanished in an instant.

　She thought of her past self again.

　With the constant emergence of memories and the body's renewed vitality, my mindset has become what it is today.

　She wanted to make this disobedient and insincere big kid realize his own thoughts.

　"Nonsense! I didn't say that..."

　"What king? Do you really have any semblance of a king? Isn't it because of your power and status that people respect you and fawn over you?"

　"..."

　"Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you looking down?"

　Chen Lingxu suddenly felt that he shouldn't have healed her so soon. How could this person have become so 'unreasonable'? He had only expressed some sentiments, and now he wanted to be her mother? What about the other things he had said? Why didn't she remember them?

　"Hey! What are you doing? Do you want to hit your mother...? You can't argue with her, and you're in the wrong, so you want to cause trouble and hit her?"

　Suddenly, he was pinned down by him, and looking at his raised hand, a hint of 'he's just a kid after all' appeared in his eyes.

　Threatening others with violence at the slightest disagreement... that's really pathetic.

　"Since you remember so clearly and see so clearly, have you forgotten that I also said other things to you?"

　What words?

　As Shu watched him remove the small bamboo cane from his chest, she suddenly remembered what the other person had said when she was pretending to be asleep.

　"I remembered?"

　"No, don't do this... I, I was wrong, Xiaoxu... good boy... can we make up?"

　"Huh? You've made up now? Are you kidding me?"

　Chen Lingxu pinched her small face; the sorghum field beside them was just enough.

　"Since you want to be my mother so much, then I'll grant your wish."

　Before their tails became tangled together, Chen Lingxu uttered his last coherent sentence.

　"After all, the bride is also a mother. Right, Shu? You must take this responsibility seriously."

　Chapter 91 The color of the evening melon is green

　The millet seemed to hear something bubbling.

　what is it then?

　Her memory suddenly drifted away, recalling the sticky, squishy sound that originated from herself.

　That child... turns out he really is an adult now.

　"Ugh."

　When I opened my eyes, all I could see was my little house.

　A gurgling sound came from the outer room. She sniffed and smelled a delicious aroma. Someone was cooking millet porridge.

　"Oh, isn't this Auntie Shu? You woke up so quickly?"

　Hearing the commotion inside, Chen Lingxu poked his head in from outside. The first words he uttered made Shu's snow-white face, as white as glutinous rice, turn red like a layer of jujube cake.

　"No, no..."

　Those words were all nonsense she made up and they don't count at all.

　It's probably because she took on the responsibility of being Qilin's mother without his consent. Before, he would call her every time he planted rice seedlings, especially when it was about to rain in the field, he would call her even more frequently, which made her feel sticky in the field whenever she heard the name.

　"how?"

　But upon hearing her denial, the people outside immediately darkened their expressions.

　"You want to back out now?"

　"No, no. But..."

　Looking at his appearance, the tip of the millet's tail, which was hanging on the kang (a heated brick bed), twitched slightly.

　"Am I not your...bride?"

　The child was saying something about brides being mothers, and then he... Why didn't she resist?

　Shu wasn't quite sure; perhaps it was some unseen thought, or perhaps it was his apparent dependence on her that made her accept this unexpected folly.

　Although it was only their first meeting, she had already decided to spend her life with him at first sight. That was probably what she was thinking at the time.

　"Haha. Forget about the bride. I'm still young and don't want to tie myself down so early."

　"Huh? Wait... then you are..."

　bdwq, what a shameless scoundrel!

　Such a person is only worthy of being called a playboy because he has a handsome face; if he weren't good-looking, he'd just be a complete scoundrel. Shu could easily report him to the authorities and sentence him to three to five years in prison to teach him a lesson.

　"Hmm? What are you thinking? I'm not going to deny it. Let's keep things separate, shall we?"

　Chen Lingxu rolled his eyes at the person whose face had turned red but who couldn't utter a single word.

　"That's it."

　Shu nodded, but then she realized that their current interaction might be a little...

　If they were to have a de facto marriage without a formal marriage, what would she be now?

　Lover... love numb?

　Chen Lingxu seemed to hear a 'beep beep' sound. He turned around and saw that the water he was boiling had boiled.

　"Alright, make room, let's eat."

　After ladling the well-cooked millet porridge into a bowl, Chen Lingxu moved a small table onto the kang (a heated brick bed), gathered the bowls and chopsticks, and ate with the millet.

　"Um... Little Xu, how did I get back?"

　"Of course I carried you back. How come your body is so weak? You collapsed before I even exerted any effort?"

　"Hmm, this... um... it's the influence of those evil spirits."

　It seems that way; in the end, she didn't let him irrigate the farmland a second time.

　Speaking of this, Shu suddenly recalled the scene of his battle with that giant monster. But now she couldn't remember what that demon looked like at all.

　"I will surely win."

　When she asked about it, Chen Lingxu took out a pendant from his pocket. The spherical doll on the bottom looked very similar to the thing Shu had seen. Seeing this colorful little black ball, Shu's memory became clear once again. But as Chen Lingxu put it away, Shu's impression of it became as blurry as porridge cooling in a bowl.

　"What's the current situation with it?"

　"It's just a toy of mine. Apart from being very bouncy, it has no other ability to interfere with reality."

　The child before me is truly amazing. To be able to turn a demon that leaves countless people, even behemoths like herself, helpless and utterly troublesome into a harmless toy in her hands.

　Slurping his rice porridge, he watched Qilin across from him eating heartily, his heart pounding with an irrepressible curiosity about him.

　He is definitely not an ordinary Qilin King.

　"Speaking of which, aren't you curious about who I am?"

　Chen Lingxu put down the bowl, looked at Shushu whose curiosity was practically leaping out of his eyes and into the bowl, and continued to ask questions.

　"You've got some nerve. You dared to come close to me the first time you met me, and even invited me to your home for dinner. You even wanted to be my mother. What if I didn't just like you and crave your food?"

　Still craving more.

　"Hmm. I don't know. But I just feel that Xiaoxu wouldn't be a bad person. And he wouldn't... hurt me."

　Shu couldn't very well say that he thought Shu was just an immature, mischievous, and insincere big kid, could he? If he did, Shu would probably end up having Shu as his dessert.

　"Humph."

　He seemed pleased with her answer, and the Qilin raised its head high, recounting its origins.

　"Oh! So Xiaoxu is the Primordial Celestial Venerable. That's amazing."

　Sure enough, he was no ordinary Qilin; he was a Qilin that had been conferred the title of Saint.

　Shu felt that with his strength, it was impossible for her not to have heard of him at all over the years. She had even heard of the old Celestial Master, a man over a hundred years old from the Yan Kingdom, so there was no reason she wouldn't know about the Qilin genius who could single-handedly kill a demon. Now, hearing his self-introduction, Shu wasn't surprised at all. But even so, he was younger than her, so he could only obediently call her Aunt Shu.

　Moreover, Shu thought of something else. Now that she knew Chen Lingxu's identity, she no longer had to worry about not being able to see him again.

　It's a blessing to have no terrible life expectancy theory!

　"Tsk. What kind of attitude is this? You show no respect for me whatsoever."

　"Hmm, what should I do then? Bow and kowtow three times and nine times to the great Heavenly Venerable?"

　After meeting He Shu's clear, bright eyes for three seconds, Chen Lingxu smiled.

　"No need. Let's eat quickly. At this hour, we should go to bed after eating."

　"Okay...wait, sleeping, is that what I'm thinking of?"

　The tail draped under the table had already been grabbed by the other party, and even though he didn't answer, Shu understood his thoughts.

　"Don't look so unwilling. Although your body is now free from pollution, the damage accumulated over the years cannot be recovered in just a day or two. My essence can nourish your body. I will work a little harder so that you can benefit more and recover your health sooner."

　"Yes, yes, yes... Then I should thank you, Xiaoxu."

　He talked about how he would deal with her, but when he actually did it, he was very gentle.

　Shu's fingertips dug into the unicorn's thick mane, and her palm involuntarily gripped his horn. Then, as the unicorn hugged her lower back, she slid her arms down to his shoulders and gently clasped them together.

　"Millet. My mother."

　"what happened?"

　"It's so sweet! Your name is really fitting. It tastes just like rice wine."
