Divine Seal: I am a saintess of the human race, but also the heir to the Demon God.

"You're such a little kid. You used to bathe with me when you were little, why are you shy now?"

Bai Ling walked to the spring, bent down, stretched out her hand to feel the water temperature, and nodded in satisfaction.

After changing into her bathrobe, Bai Ling walked down into the spring and leaned comfortably against the side.

Long Haochen, who hadn't brought any change of clothes, was left alone on the shore, staring longingly at Bai Ling.

"Sister, what about me?"

Long Haochen pointed at him and said blankly.

"Just take off your clothes and get down, I'm not watching you."

Bai Ling, soaking in the hot spring, propped her head up with her hand, as if she had thought of something, and said with a meaningful look: "Could it be that you want to protect Cai'er's innocence? Even your own sister has to avoid danger."

"Sister, you're talking nonsense! Cai'er and I are innocent!"

Long Haochen glared angrily at Bai Ling, then turned his head away, looking like he was saying he was done with her.

Bai Ling's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Releasing her spiritual power, the breeze obeyed her command, lifting the sulking little dumpling into the air.

With his toes off the ground and feeling weightless, Long Haochen, forgetting his embarrassment, started yelling incoherently.

"Ah! Sister, I was wrong, please put me down!"

"Come down and soak in the hot spring with your sister, you naughty little brat."

Bai Ling could not possibly grant Long Haochen's wish.

The medicinal herbs in this pool are all top-quality spiritual herbs, carefully formulated by Long Xingyu, making them very suitable for them.

With her eyes closed, she used her hands to manipulate the breeze and strip Long Haochen, who was floating in mid-air, completely naked.

Bai Ling then took out a clean onesie with dark blue wolf ears and helped Long Haochen change into it.

The change of clothes is completed.

Bai Ling opened her eyes, and with a gentle flick of her wrist, Long Haochen fell from mid-air into the hot spring, splashing water everywhere.

"Ouch! Sister, that hurts!"

Long Haochen, who was completely immersed in the hot spring, shouted and woke up from his shame.

He hurriedly stood up, rubbing his body with both hands.

"sit down!"

With just one sentence, Bai Ling made Long Haochen, who was in so much pain that his whole body was itchy, sit there, grinning with his big white teeth, his blue eyes filled with tears that evoked pity.

"Medicinal bath, hot spring medicinal bath. Pain is normal. It means that your sword-wielding posture was not standard enough and your use of spiritual power was not precise enough during the previous battle, which caused your body to be injured."

Bai Ling watched as Long Haochen, like a leafy worm, kept creating waves of all sizes, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "If you don't take a proper medicinal bath, be careful that you don't develop a chronic illness and grow shorter than Cai'er in the future."

The dynamic Long Haochen instantly transforms into a static version.

He obediently submerged his body in the water, leaving only his nose floating on the surface, looking as if he had made up his mind to die.

About half an hour later, Long Xingyu, carrying two sets of clothes, walked in from outside at just the right time.

"Put your clothes on and come out; I have something to say to you."

After glancing at Long Xingyu, whose spring water had become much clearer, he left without lingering.

Bai Ling got ashore first, changed her clothes, and went out first.

Seeing his sister leave, Long Haochen breathed a sigh of relief, struggled to climb out of the water, and changed his clothes.

As he pushed open the door, Long Xingyu happened to place the food on the table in the open space, gesturing for Long Haochen to come and eat.

Long Haochen asked instinctively, "What about Mom?"

"This is the food Mom made. She must have eaten it already."

Bai Ling took a bite of the dish and knew it couldn't have been made by Long Xingyu.

She patted the stool next to her, indicating that Long Haochen could eat first and then talk.

Since his older sister had spoken, Long Haochen had no choice but to obediently comply.

After the siblings finished their meal, Long Xingyu casually asked them how they felt about the combat training.

Bai Ling believed that fighting wolf demons was simple. Their brains were not fully developed, and although they possessed spiritual power, they did not know how to use it, so they were not considered purebred magical beasts.

Long Haochen's ideas are completely different from his sister's.

He was not used to using the sword in his hand, which was meant to protect others, to kill the wolf demon, who was his enemy.

The wolf demon's dying gaze inexplicably disturbed him.

"Is that all you've got? You're all kindness, but you lack the courage to kill your enemies. How can you call yourself a guardian knight?"

Long Xingyu said coldly, "Compared to you, your sister is the more qualified professional."

Speaking the truth, Long Haochen lowered his head in shame and clenched his fists after being scolded like that.

Bai Ling crossed her legs, clasped her hands together, looked at Long Xingyu, and said calmly, "Hey, uncle, what you said is a bit too much. Hao Chen is a Guardian Knight, not a Punisher Knight. Don't apply your standards to Guardian Knights!"

Long Xingyu slammed his fist on the table, exasperated, and said, "What do you know? Do you know more about what it means to be a qualified knight than I do, a knight from Haoyue City? Who is his teacher, you or me?"

Code.

That's too classic.

Bai Ling stood up defiantly, ignoring Long Xingyu's murderous glare, and said firmly, "Yes, I am not a qualified knight, and I have never understood you knights, but I know that even in Haoyue City, no teacher or instructor would dare to incite two eight-year-old children to engage in a life-or-death battle with a pack of wolf demons! And the location of the life-or-death battle is on the edge of a cliff!"

The black-haired girl, growing angrier with each word, slammed her hand on the table and, ignoring her brother's attempts to stop her, angrily rebuked Long Xingyu.

“My brother is just a Level 2 Squire Knight who has just passed the assessment. He’s not a machine. If you insist on instilling your ideas into Long Haochen and making him the perfect knight in your mind, then I think we have nothing to talk about!”

Bai Ling pointed at Long Xingyu's nose and launched into a tirade of abuse.

Of course, she didn't utter a single swear word throughout the entire conversation.

It could even be said that every word he uttered was reasonable and every word struck at the heart.

Bai Ling exhaled a breath of pent-up frustration, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

She stood up gracefully, tidied her hair, and then pulled Long Haochen, who was staring in disbelief, along with her to go home.

Before leaving, she made sure to pack up the large table of delicious food her mother had prepared for them.

That scoundrel doesn't deserve to eat the food his mother cooked.

Walking down the street, Bai Ling thought that if that bastard Long Xingyu really pushed her too far, she would definitely open the black box without hesitation and put on the demon god ring that her grandfather had given to her mother.

At that time, having accepted the original power of the Demon God Pillar, she could take Long Haochen and her mother into the embrace of the Demon Clan, and never have to see Long Xingyu's unlucky old face again.

Living with a man like that would be too exhausting.

Bai Ling really doesn't mind at all having a handsome, family-oriented, and loving husband like Long Haochen as her stepfather.

Feeling increasingly indignant on behalf of her mother, Bai Ling pulled out her elemental staff and took Long Haochen to experience the joy of a low-budget flight spell.

Long Xingyu, who was stunned, did not expect Bai Ling to have such a fiery temper, so easily angered, and not at all like her mother Bai Yue's gentle and weak nature.

By the time he realized what was happening and carefully sensed the surroundings, the siblings were already dozens of miles away from the wooden house.
