After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"So what if I hit you? If you dare mess with my son again, I'll bury you! Get lost!"

The way Liu Longyue stood in the courtyard protecting her offspring made Chen Futu feel both heartbroken and amused.

That bastard, when we finally recognize each other, I'll beat her ass into eight pieces.

"Mom, that strange uncle isn't a bad person."

Chen Li was shorter than a leg and spoke unclearly.

Although he was young, he felt an extremely close feeling from the strange uncle he had just met; it was a resonance of blood ties. Unfortunately, he was too young to express it.

Liu Longyue held him in her arms and warned him, "Remember, don't talk to strangers."

"Li'er understands."

The mother and son were talking, but Chen Futu returned to the courtyard looking dejected and sat on a large rock, staring blankly at the mother and son.

To be honest, this scene really does have a bit of a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" vibe.

Soon, Dongfang Que came over carrying large and small bags. She couldn't cook elaborate meals, but she could grill meat.

When it was time to eat, Old Zhang's family returned home.

Despite his advanced age, Zhang the hunter was still a skilled hunter. His two sons were married, and had a daughter who was about the same age as Chen Li and quite pretty. As soon as she entered the house, she pulled Chen Li around the yard, filling it with laughter and joy.

Seeing the harmonious scene, Chen Futu hardened his fist.

Because Liu Longyue greeted Zhang Lao Er, who was carrying his prey, with a big smile on her face.

Zhang Lao Er scratched his head earnestly at her, saying things like he wasn't tired.

[Host emotional distress detected. Do you require blood pressure medication?]

"Get the hell out of here! Why didn't you care about me before?"

Chen Futu found this garbage system increasingly cunning, and suddenly a sentence popped out—who was it mocking?

Looking at Old Zhang's family, the women gathered medicinal herbs from the mountain, while the men processed the game. Before long, the house was filled with a delicious aroma, and the whole family sat around the table chatting and laughing. Chen Futu felt so sour that his back teeth almost fell out.

Fortunately, he knew Liu Longyue's character, and as a quasi-emperor, she was unlikely to be interested in Zhang Lao Er. Otherwise, Chen Futu would have forcibly taken her and the child away.

Furthermore, considering that she was hiding in the village, perhaps for some secret, I could only tolerate it.

Chen Futu observed for a whole night and only felt relieved when he confirmed that Liu Longyue was indeed staying in a room alone with the child.

At daybreak, the village headman drove an oxcart, saying he was going to town to buy supplies.

At that moment, two or three women squeezed onto the vehicle, and Liu Longyue was also taking Chen Li to town.

Chen Futu could not let go of the opportunity to get close to the child, so he shamelessly limped forward.

The village women looked at him with a mocking gaze, thinking, "Look, he's a handsome young man who just arrived."

The village head asked curiously, "Is Brother Liu going too?"

"Yes, buy some medicine and send a message to your family while you're at it."

Chen Futu brazenly got into the car and sat down next to Liu Longyue.

Liu Longyue hugged the child tightly with disdain, as if the child would be snatched away if she let go. However, Chen Li, held in her arms, still stared wide-eyed at the strange uncle.

Chen Futu smiled brightly at him, then took out some exquisite pastries and handed them over. The little guy immediately took them and stuffed them into his mouth.

Now Liu Longyue couldn't refuse even if she wanted to, so she said thank you with a forced smile.

"Wait for me, I'll go too."

Zhang Lao Er suddenly ran over, and Chen Futu's face immediately fell.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Zhang Lao Er actually possessed the strength of a Martial Grandmaster, and his appearance was also quite decent...

What kind of Martial Grandmaster would ride in an oxcart? Doesn't he know any advanced lightness skill? Damn it!

[Host, a dignified Saintly Venerable and peerless Holy Emperor, why do you still need to ride in an oxcart?]

"Shut up, did I tell you to speak?!"

Chen Futu discovered that the dog system really liked to poke at his sore spots, and could infuriate him half to death with a single sentence.

When Liu Longyue saw Zhang Lao Er, whether intentionally or unintentionally, she gently called him "Second Brother" and then made room for him.

Chen Futu watched the interaction between the two with a dark face, veins throbbing on his forehead, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He really wanted to smash this damn village to pieces with one punch.

Thinking of this, Chen Futu said to Liu Longyue in a somewhat cheeky tone, "You're older than him, so why do you call him 'Second Brother'?"

Liu Longyue, who had been chatting and laughing with Zhang Lao Er, stopped abruptly and turned around stiffly: "You live by the sea?"

"what?"

"You don't live by the sea, so why are you being so nosy?"

puff!

Several women laughed so hard they were doubled over, but Chen Futu's words caught in his throat.

Don't get angry, don't get angry. If you get angry, no one will take your place. Your wife is saying rubbish, so you have to put up with it.

On the way forward, Liu Longyue whispered to Zhang Lao Er that she wanted to buy cloth to make clothes for the child, and also mentioned that she wanted to start a small business, saying that she had recipes and such.

Chen Futu was utterly despondent.

Just as the two were talking, Chen Li suddenly stretched his arm out from Liu Longyue's arms.

Chen Futu immediately gripped the soft little hand. At this moment, the feeling of bloodline resonance was even stronger. The Dragon Emperor's blood in Chen Futu's body silently flowed into Chen Li's eight extraordinary meridians.

Upon sensing Chen Li's physical condition, Chen Futu's heart skipped a beat, and his expression immediately fell, his eyes filled with resentment and an uncontrollable malice.

No wonder this child has no cultivation at all, unlike the monstrous talents like Changsheng and Ling'er. It turns out he has serious Dao injuries in his body. I wonder which beast who gave birth to a son without the ability to see the cycle of reincarnation did this, ruining Chen Li's foundation.

"System, who hurt my son? I'm going to wipe out their entire family register!"

[The system is unaware]

"you sure?"

Ding!

[The host has discovered that his second son, Chen Li, has suffered a Dao injury, and is therefore enraged. Please make a choice.]

[1. Choose to confront Liu Longyue and inquire about the reasons. The host will be rewarded with the fulfillment of the Ruthless Path Rules.]

[2. If you choose to remain silent and wait for Liu Longyue to act, you will be rewarded with an Imperial Weapon.]

[3. Choose to do something to speed up the time for both sides to show their cards, and reward the host with a Rebirth Elixir recipe]

The Imperial Elixir can be used to repair injuries to one's Dao.

"Tongzi, you're sensible. I'll choose number three."

For Chen Futu now, the imperial weapon is not so important; Chen Li's foundation is more important.

If they could refine the Transformation Emperor Pill, not only would Chen Li be able to use it, but they could even win over the Peach Blossom Goddess who also suffered Dao injuries.

[Selection complete. The Rejuvenation Elixir formula has been sent to your system space. Please check.]

Chen Futu took out the pill formula directly from the system space without any attempt to conceal it.

Liu Longyue noticed that the strange uncle had somehow taken her precious son's hand. She immediately pulled the hand back angrily and threatened, "If you dare to lay a hand on my son again, I won't be polite."

Zhang Lao Er was also furious. "What's wrong with you! Why are you hitting a child? Believe me or not, I'll break your legs."

The two of them were talking in unison, and Chen Futu's head was buzzing. He was too lazy to answer and instead carefully examined the prescription.

Liu Longyue was stunned. She subconsciously scanned the pill formula and immediately saw the effects described at the beginning of the Transformation Pill. She was so excited that her whole body trembled, her eyes turned red, and she could hardly suppress her aura. She wanted to snatch the pill formula.
