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

The fish is hooked.

Before Liu Longyue could snatch it, Chen Futu deliberately stored the pill formula in his system space, then looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, appearing melancholy.

Liu Longyue could no longer pay attention to Zhang Lao Er. Her eyes were fixed on him, flickering with murderous intent.

Chen Futu felt the pressure of the Quasi-Emperor fluctuating many times. She tried her best to restrain herself, as if she was afraid of something. Finally, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

Confused, Zhang Lao Er asked with concern, "Xiao Yue, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Liu Longyue forced a smile, then said to Chen Futu, "Young man, I apologize for my previous attitude. Please forgive me."

Ah, realistic women.

Chen Futu was filled with emotion and naturally had no objections. He wondered if she had hidden herself in this village to heal Chen Li's Dao injury.

Thinking of this, Chen Futu stretched out his hand and said proudly, "Let me borrow the child to play with."

Have fun?

Upon hearing this, a hidden murderous intent flashed in Liu Longyue's eyes, but she ultimately restrained herself, saying, "My Li'er is not in good health."

"It's alright, I know a little about medicine, and I won't do anything to him."

Chen Futu, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, continued to reach out his hand, demanding the child back.

Liu Longyue shook her head again. Her coveting of the pill formula did not mean she would hand her son over to a stranger. Besides, a mysterious person who casually took out the Dao Injury Pill formula might have a very strong cultivation level, and most likely, his cultivation level was hidden like hers. She dared not gamble.

Chen Futu shrugged, no longer insisting, and having already achieved her goal, she would no longer be so indifferent.

As expected, what happened next was exactly what I anticipated.

When the oxcart arrived in the town, Liu Longyue got off and took the initiative to part ways with Zhang Lao Er, who had followed her, saying that she had other things to do.

Helpless, Zhang Lao Er could only leave dejectedly, not forgetting to glare at Chen Futu before he left.

Chen Futu didn't care about this guy's threat and said to Liu Longyue, "Come with me."

Suppressing her urge to kill, Liu Longyue carried Chen Li and followed them to a restaurant.

Chen Futu ordered some food and asked Liu Longyue, "What is your purpose in staying in the village?"

"Who are you!"

Liu Longyue was very alert, her aura as a quasi-emperor about to burst forth.

Chen Futu smiled wryly: "Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. If I were a bad person, I wouldn't be sitting here calmly chatting with you."

"Enough nonsense. I want your previous pill formula. Name your price."

"Name your price? Heh, how precious are the pill formulas for repairing Dao injuries? I want an Emperor-level weapon, can you afford it?"

Chen Futu deliberately provoked her, and Liu Longyue said gloomily, "I can't afford it now, but I will be able to afford it after a while."

"How dare you speak so arrogantly! Imperial weapons are generally in the hands of the Great Emperor. How are you going to give them to me? Don't tell me you can kill the Great Emperor."

"Give me a month, and I will definitely retrieve the Imperial Weapon for you."

"really?"

"really."

Liu Longyue's answer was decisive.

Chen Futu became interested and curious about how she obtained the imperial weapon. With that thought in mind, he reached out to hug the child again.

Liu Longyue remained silent for a moment, then said, "If you dare to harm my son in the slightest, I will exterminate your entire clan!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you scared me to death. I'm a coward, don't be so fierce, or you'll never be able to get married."

"you……"

Liu Longyue clenched her fists as if she wanted to crush them, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, looking like she was about to devour someone.

Chen Futu could clearly feel her affection for Chen Li, but he still teased her, saying that it was her fault for taking the child around everywhere, and that she would have been fine if she stayed in Lizhou.

Then, under Liu Longyue's wary gaze, Chen Futu finally got his wish and held the child.

Chen Li loved the feeling of blood resonance with this strange uncle, so she hugged his neck tightly and giggled.

Chen Futu rubbed the little bundle of flesh, his heart filled with mixed emotions, his eyes reddening with heartache, yet he deliberately avoided Liu Longyue's gaze, turning his back to her as he teased the child in his arms.

Chen Li laughed even harder.

After confirming that the mysterious young man meant no harm, Liu Longyue relaxed her guard a little and then looked at the two of them strangely.

She had a strange feeling, as if the two of them were father and son, and they were very harmonious.

That damned bastard should be in Lizhou with women on either side right now, he couldn't possibly be in front of her!

After a long while, Liu Longyue reached out for the child. Chen Futu reluctantly handed Chen Li over, but Chen Li refused, shaking her head repeatedly, her eyes brimming with tears of grievance, constantly reaching out to Chen Futu, "Hug me—"

"You see, the child likes me more."

Chen Futu was delighted and said provocatively to Liu Longyue.

Liu Longyue's eyelids twitched. "Aren't you going to give the child back? Are you looking for a beating?"

"No, I want my uncle."

Chen Li continued to cling to Chen Futu's neck, ignoring Liu Longyue's attempts to coax him.

Liu Longyue raised her hand to spank him, but Chen Futu quickly stopped her, saying, "You're not young anymore, don't be so grumpy. What do you want to buy? The child and I will go with you."

Chen Futu paid the bill, picked up the child, and walked out.

Liu Longyue followed helplessly, but no matter how she coaxed him, Chen Li wouldn't follow her. She said angrily, "Li'er, have I spoiled you too much? Do you want a beating?"

"do not want!"

Chen Li was stubborn. Although he didn't understand, he could feel the sense of security emanating from the strange uncle, a sense he had never felt when he was hiding from his mother.

Liu Longyue was so angry that her disguised face twitched, and in the end she could only let Chen Futu take the child and go shopping with her.

The subsequent scene resembled a family of three. Even though Chen Futu and Liu Longyue's disguised appearances and clothing were vastly different, there was an extremely harmonious feeling, as if they were a match made in heaven, without appearing abrupt at all.

After buying all the bags and packages, the three returned to the town entrance. At this time, Zhang Lao Er and the women had all returned.

When everyone saw Liu Longyue carrying large and small bags following behind, while Chen Futu was holding the child, their expressions became increasingly strange. As for Zhang Lao Er, his long face made Chen Futu laugh inwardly, "Serves him right, he's getting his revenge for how he angered me before."

Despite his anger, Zhang Lao Er still stepped forward to take Chen Li away.

Chen Li glanced at him only once before burying her head in Chen Futu's arms, completely unmoved.

Liu Longyue said awkwardly, "Second brother, don't bother. I don't know why, but Li'er really likes this guy. I, as his mother, don't even want to be with him."

Zhang Lao Er sighed, helped load the things onto the cart, and then the oxcart slowly made its way back to the village.

On the way back, Liu Longyue kept her attention on Chen Futu and the child. When Zhang Lao Er tried to talk to her, she only gave half-hearted responses, clearly still worried that this boy with her family name might hurt her son.

Chen Futu seized the opportunity to build a relationship with Chen Li, giving the little guy plenty of treats along the way. Little Li was overjoyed and grew closer to Chen Futu. Several times, when Liu Longyue reached out to take him back, he refused.

Such a bizarre scene amazed the women in the village.
