Many descendants

"No? He's only a few days old!"

Su Yan couldn't believe it; could a baby do that?

Taotie, an evil mythical beast from ancient times.

The mere sight of the firelight emanating from those eyes filled her with dread, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.

Compared to Taotie's fire-based ultimate technique, hers is like comparing a small spark to a volcano.

Suddenly, a cloud of dark mist flew toward her.

Su Yan instinctively wanted to attack, but Xiao Mei spoke up in time, saying, "It's Xiao Ershi."

Su Yan was stunned.

The mist dissipated as a tiny swaddling cloth.

Little Fengning was fast asleep, sucking on his little finger, looking like he was hungry.

But Su Yan didn't know how to face him right now.

Is this still her child?

Deep down, an instinctive, almost uncontrollable sense of horror and trembling arose within me.

"Xiao Mei, how is that possible! He could kill a Taotie?"

Xiao Mei didn't answer because she hadn't scanned much data about the Taotie's interior. She only had the energy data emanating from its surface, but every single one of it far exceeded all the data she currently had on all her divine beasts.

Perhaps the data on the most powerful monsters in her game "Lost Frontier" can be updated again, just according to this Taotie's standard...

[Host, the Taotie has disappeared.]

What does "disappear" mean?

The entire beast's body has disappeared.

Where is Master?

As soon as she spoke, the oil lamp flew over and stopped above her, sizing up Xiao Fengning.

"The Taotie sacrificed itself."

"So that's how it is. It really startled me. I thought my son had killed it. But why?"

"Taowu has been trapped here for too long and doesn't want to live here any longer. But sacrifices come with conditions, and only your son knows the conditions of the contract between Taotie and him."

"Where is the Taotie's beast form?"

"Your son ate it."

"..." Su Yan looked at Xiao Fengning in front of her and suddenly didn't know what to do.

Master Qing noticed Su Yan's dilemma.

"The death of Taotie will surely shake the divine realm and they will definitely investigate. Master cannot show his face, and your son even less so."

"Master, I want to save him. Can you turn him into an ordinary child, whether human, demon, or beastman?"

"Does my disciple really want to change him, or even abandon his primordial demon body?"

"Yes! Master, do you have a way?"

……

Yunmeng Island.

Su Yan emerged from the portal.

He took a deep breath of the rich spiritual energy of Yunmeng Island, lay down among the flowers and plants, and exhaled a breath of stagnant, turbid air that he had brought back from the Asura Realm.

I gradually relaxed.

[Xiaomei, are Sanlang and the others here?]

The door was locked, and the kitchen utensils had been put away; it seemed they had left.

[He's back at the Kirin Academy, it seems he's regained his memories. This time, Sanlang won't wait for Zhu Qihong to come and kill him; instead, he's taken the initiative to go back and fight back. That's good.]

After lying down for a while, Su Yan opened the teleportation array to Master Qing's grave.

Upon entering Master Qing's tomb for the second time, Su Yan looked at the divine blood that resembled a golden lake. She first collected a small portion of it, and then moved Xiao Fengning out of the system space.

I touched his thin face; he was a bit chubby now than when he was born, and his eyes had a bit more pupil.

Unbuttoning his clothes, one could clearly see a lotus-shaped mark on his chest.

The method Master Qing mentioned is to change one's heart and then bless the lotus seal.

The most powerful part of the Primal Demon is its heart; the inexhaustible power of devouring also originates from it. Unless it is thrown into the Chaos Fire, this heart will be immortal!

The last wisp of chaotic fire disappeared long ago...

If Su Yan doesn't want him to continue being consumed, she needs to dig out his demonic heart and replace it with an ordinary one. Then, she needs to cleanse his body, which might turn him into an ordinary person.

However, the Demonic Heart must not return to his body, otherwise there will be no possibility of change.

Furthermore, the heart that is being replaced must belong to a direct blood relative, meaning it can only be Su Yan's or Wen Jin's.

Wen Jin is a human-demon, and his heart is also demonic, so there's basically no need to consider him.

Only Su Yan, whose spirit beast heart was the mother, was someone the Yuan Demon had heard beating every moment of the entire gestation process, and whose aura was the most familiar and trusted. Therefore, she would not reject the heart during the transplant.

As for Su Yan, fortunately, she never gave up cultivating the "Taiyi Absolute Technique" and had already reached the Golden Core stage. Even without a heart, she could continue to live thanks to that Golden Core.

In the future, if she reaches the realm of gods, she can find the Heart Fruit and grow a new heart.

Just as she was preparing to exchange hearts with Xiao Fengning, Xiao Mei told Su Yan that she could use points to regenerate an identical heart!

But it requires spending 300 million birth points.

Su Yan felt a pang of regret.

But Xiaomei's next words made her decisively stop hesitating!

Without a heart, she would no longer experience the pleasure of a heartbeat when mating with her beastly husband...

The 200 million birth points I received as a reward for having him have not only been completely lost, but I've also lost another 100 million.

[Host, keep up the good work and give birth to another god-level offspring.]

"How could that be? You think it's so easy to give birth to a god-tier baby?"

[Ding—] The system sent a notification.

[Host, the main system has sent an update package. Xiaomei needs to update immediately.]

[Alright, I'll cultivate in Master's 'grave' for a few days, and then use divine blood to cleanse and strengthen Xiao Fengning's bones and muscles.]

【Good host. 】

Xiao Mei has started the upgrade process, which shows that the upgrade will take fifteen days.

This update package looks quite large.

Su Yan placed Xiao Fengning into the Divine Blood Pool. Not long after, some wisps of grayish turbidity appeared in the golden divine blood.

And Xiao Fengning started to cry.

Su Yan hurriedly took out an oil lamp and called out, "Master—"

Master Qing's illusory figure emerged from the oil lamp, yawning, "What is it, disciple?"

“My son is crying while soaking in divine blood. Can you take a look at him and see what’s wrong with him?”

"That's normal, and it's a good sign. It proves that he's started to cleanse the wounds."

"Then why is he crying?"

"He feels like the blood in his body is flowing backwards right now. If you were him, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"

Is there any way to alleviate his pain?

"Used to it."

“Master!” Su Yan frowned.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm really scared of you."

A woman who dares to gouge out her own heart to save her son is no ordinary person. His apprentice's future prospects are likely to be very bright.

However, being able to become his apprentice is already a great fortune.

A beam of divine light fell upon Xiao Fengning.

Xiao Fengning immediately stopped crying and fell asleep soon after, looking peaceful.

What did Master do to him?

"Temporarily block his spiritual sense from sensing his body. Anyway, he's just an infant, so it doesn't matter if he can't move his arms and legs for the time being."

"...Is it equivalent to anesthesia?"

“Anesthesia? Judging from the literal meaning, it’s quite fitting. Master, go find the other remaining consciousness first. I’ll do as I please.”

After saying that, the phantom floated toward an oil lamp covered with a layer of ash.
