"Uh-huh, you know I don't know the way!"

Nangong Ya puffed out her chest with confidence.

If she wasn't worried about taking the wrong direction and running to the next door Xumi, why would she need to take the opportunity to ask Zhongli for help?

Although he had secretly gone to Xumi to meet the Great Compassion Tree King and got to know her before the Demon God War, he was soon captured and brought back by a certain Demon God of Dust who came from Guiliyuan in a huff, so he was not familiar with the place at all.

Besides, if that yellow-haired traveler hadn't gone there, there wouldn't be much progress in the story on Xumi even if I went there.

"...Okay, I agree."

Seeing Nangong Ya's confident look, Zhongli simply agreed. This was not a difficult request for him.

……

"So that's it, Keqing Zhongli brought back the two children he gave birth to outside?"

In the Wangsheng Hall, the 77th hall master, a dark brown-haired girl named Walnut pinched Nangong Ya's soft face curiously.

"Master, you are wrong. You should have brought back the two children you picked up outside."

Zhongli, holding the baby Xiao in one hand, had to correct the mistakes in Hu Tao's words.

"Well, what a shame..."

Walnut said this with some regret, but those red pupils with plum blossom patterns were still fixed on the pretty little girl in front of him.

It has to be said that young appearances are often more easily liked by others.

"...Aunt Walnut, I'm hungry."

Nangong Ya felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so she simply touched her flat belly to divert attention.

"Be good~ If you call me sister, I'll cook for you~!"

As a young girl, she was naturally very dissatisfied with being called aunt. Hu Tao tried to make Nangong Ya change her words by tempting her with food.

"Sister Hutao!"

With her young appearance, Nangong Ya had long been accustomed to pretending to be a younger person. She called out sweetly without any burden, which made Hu Tao smile happily and she decided to cook for herself immediately.

Nangong Ya was quite looking forward to the fact that the character she once liked would cook for her.

However, because it had been so long, it was obvious that she had forgotten a certain setting.

"Master, I have already eaten at Liuli Pavilion. I will take Xiao Xiao back to my room first."

Zhongli wisely stood up, picked up the baby Xiao, who was very well-behaved but couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard that there was food, and walked away.

While Hu Tao was cooking, she also asked the waiter Lao Meng from the Wangsheng Hall to buy Nangong Ya a new pair of shoes. She couldn't bear to see Nangong Ya walking on the ground in just stockings.

Nangong Ya didn't care about this. She didn't wear shoes before only because she didn't bring her shoes into the coffin when she was sealed, so she happily put on the new pair of blue and white shoes.

After the meal was served, Nangong Ya finally understood why Zhongli had taken the young Xiao with him, and she also remembered what she had forgotten...

Faced with a table full of sumptuous but strange-looking dishes, Nangong Ya carefully picked up a little with chopsticks and put it into her mouth to taste it.

"Uh……"

"My life is over!"

……

When Nangong Ya woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Since Hu Tao refused last night due to the rule of not accepting child laborers, Nangong Ya did not join the Hall of Rebirth as Zhongli had planned. However, Hu Tao still agreed that she and the young Xiao would live in the Hall of Rebirth in the future, which allowed Zhongli to fulfill the first request he had agreed to for Nangong Ya.

"It tastes bad, but I am a demon god after all... Is it because I am too weak after escaping from the trap?"

Recalling the chilling smell, Nangong Ya muttered in confusion.

"Xiaoya, are you awake? You must have fainted yesterday because you were too weak. This morning, I specially cooked a tonic soup for you. Come and try it... Eh? Where have you been?"

Faced with the sudden and enthusiastic Hu Tao, Nangong Ya's face froze. She put on her new shoes and ran out of the Wangsheng Hall without looking back.

In the future, try not to go back to the Hall of Rebirth during meal times!

"If I remember correctly, Chihuyan should be nearby..."

Except for yesterday's almond tofu, Nangong Ya hasn't eaten for thousands of years, so she thinks the most important thing now is to fill her stomach first.

……

Between the clouds.

The immortals who came in response to the Emperor's call landed in front of Zhongli, who had already changed into divine attire.

At this time, the immortals did not know that the Rock King had transformed into a mortal named Zhongli, so Zhongli deliberately changed back to his earlier attire.

"I wonder why the Emperor summoned us?"

After all the immortals landed, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang was the first to speak and ask respectfully, and the other immortals also looked at Zhongli curiously.

"This matter concerns him."

Zhongli reached his hand behind him and touched the young Xiao hiding behind him. Only then did he muster up the courage to walk in front of the immortals.

"This is……"

When they saw the young Xiao, the immortals opened their eyes wide in surprise.

"Could it be the son of the Great Sage who conquers demons?!"

Master Liuyun Jiefeng spread his wings and exclaimed, because the child in front of him was ten or even nine points similar to the Great Sage Subduing Demons.

"What? The Great Sage Who Subdues Demons has a child?"

"Move aside, let me take a closer look!"

The voice of Master Liuyun Jiefeng shocked the immortals and they all rushed forward, wanting to take a closer look at the child of the demon-conquering Great Sage.

Seeing the immortals trying to get closer, the young Xiao nervously grabbed Zhongli's hand and hid beside him.

"Okay, don't scare him. He is not the Demon-Subduing Great Sage's child. He is the Demon-Subduing Great Sage."

After Zhong Kai left the room, the immortals stopped and stopped pushing forward, but they were still a little curious about Xiao at this time.

"He is the Great Sage who conquers demons? Why did he become what he is now?"

Zhenjun Lishui Dieshan stretched his neck slightly and asked in surprise.

This question also raised the doubts in the hearts of other immortals, and they looked at Zhongli hoping to get his answer.

"Do you still remember that demon god? She has the power to purify filthy and evil thoughts."

Seeing that no one among the immortals remembered it, Zhongli had to remind them.

There is no way. This demon was sealed not long after the Demon War began. Years of war have also caused most people to rarely mention her.

"Purification..."

The immortals recalled the incident in confusion, and among them, True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng was the first to change his expression.

“Could it be…Nangong Ya, the Demon God of Purification?”

When True Lord Liuyun Jiefeng pronounced this name which was incompatible with the names of other demon gods, the other immortals immediately remembered her existence.

"She? Didn't she die in the battle at Guiliyuan?"

When he said this, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang paused and glanced carefully at Zhongli's face. When he found that everything was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and finished his words.

"She didn't die in the battle. I just sealed her in a mountain outside Guiliyuan for some reason. Now she has escaped. The Demon-Subduing Great Sage was the first person to discover her escape."

Zhongli's expression didn't change at all, he just continued to explain simply.

This also made the immortals understand why the Demon-Subduing Great Sage had become his current childhood appearance.

They still remember that this demon god's power, in addition to purifying filthy evil thoughts, can also make people rejuvenate. The emperor once...

"Emperor, her return is a blessing for Liyue. Why don't I lead the other immortals to welcome her?"

Master Liuyunjiefeng spread his wings and asked Zhongli for instructions impatiently.

Among the immortals present, she was the first one to become familiar with Nangong Ya.

"She is now in Liyue Harbor, so don't go there in a big way."

Zhongli gave a reminder, lowered his head and touched the young Xiao hiding beside his legs, then continued:

"There is one more thing, which is related to the karma of the Great Sage who subdues demons."

After hearing Zhongli's words, the fairies quieted down again and looked carefully at the young Xiao.

The immortals were not familiar with karma, after all, that was not their job, but they could also feel that there was something bad missing from the young Xiao.

It turned out that karma had been eroding Xiao's body and sanity, almost bringing him to the brink of losing control. However, the young Xiao standing there at this moment had clear eyes and no bad aura on his body.

You must know that karma is the residual power after the death of the devil, and even the Rock King cannot eradicate it.

"So this is the second time she has saved the Demon-Subduing Great Sage from the power of the Devil God..."

Master Liuyunjiefeng muttered thoughtfully.

After she mentioned this, the other immortals realized the reason why their karma disappeared.
