Many descendants

into the night.

Wen Jin gently patted Xiao Fengning to help him sleep, his mind replaying Su Yan's words.

She probably wasn't lying to him; Xiao Fengning was conceived naturally. But how could that be? Natural conception requires genuine affection, or at least deep concern!

Jian once said that he was jealous of him... Now that I think about it, it must be because he knew that Xiao Fengning was conceived naturally.

It's not impossible to ask her to have another child.

Although Su Yan agreed to have a child for him, before the birth, she always felt it was a beautiful dream, but when she woke up, it all vanished like a bubble.

……

The realm of gods, the Su residence.

Su Yan returned with Xiaomiqi and Xiaobeier.

A sound transmission talisman flew towards her.

Su Yan caught the call; it was Rong Ruo—[Yan Yan, Xiao Qi said Old Madam Ming's birthday is coming up, so I sent her to find you. Also, remember to ask her for the birthday gift for Old Madam Ming, otherwise she'll definitely pocket it.]

The gate opened, and a stunningly beautiful little girl appeared inside.

Her icy blue, seaweed-like curls were tied in a playful, fluffy high ponytail. She wore a pink and white checkered princess dress, white leather boots adorned with luxurious beads, and a small purple bag slung across her waist.

Behind her followed a snow-white fox with a fluffy tail and dark eyes that sparkled with intelligence.

"Mother, welcome back," Xiao Qi said with a smile.

Little Tiantian wagged his big tail and said, "Mom, welcome back."

Su Yan put away the communication talisman and smiled at the two of them, "You got here faster than your dad's communication talisman. Little Tiantian looks so handsome today too~"

Xiao Qi rushed straight towards Xiao Qi. She liked Xiao Qi more than Xiao Shi, and when the two stood together in human form, their face shapes and eyes were most similar, with their round, oval faces being especially cute.

Little Belle jumped onto Little Seven, calling out, "Little Seven Sister~"

Su Yan picked up Xiao Tiantian and stroked his incredibly soft fox fur. "Where's your dad?"

"I went to spar with Uncle Yu," Xiao Tiantian replied.

Su Yan: "..."

Sparring? They're probably off to fight.

Su Yan sent a voice transmission talisman to Yu Hao: "I'm coming."

Shenhuang Ridge, a hundred miles away from the Su residence.

The scene that Su Yan had imagined—a fierce battle between Yu Hao and Qing Linghuan—did not happen.

Of course, under normal circumstances, these two would indeed be fighting.

Today, these two people are taking turns playing chess with a kind and gentle old man with white hair and beard.

Su Yan's communication talisman has arrived.

Yu Hao caught it, glanced at Qing Linghuan who was playing chess with the old man, and said, "I'll go back first."

"Is Yan Yan here? I need to go back too." Qing Linghuan immediately got up.

But the old man glanced at him indifferently, and Qing Linghuan sat down steadily again.

"Yuhao can leave now." The old man placed a white chess piece.

Yu Hao smiled smugly at Qing Linghuan, "Who told you to neglect your duties? As a divine lord, I never slack off for a single day. Now Yan Yan belongs to me alone."

"You dead bird, just you wait!" Qing Linghuan picked up a black chess piece and said fiercely.

But when he placed the piece, his expression became extremely serious!

Yu Hao teleported away.

The old man said to Qing Linghuan, "Actually, considering your contribution to the ancient god race by adding a child, you can be exempted from this dereliction of duty."

Qing Linghuan immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the old man, saying, "Thank you, Hengzu."

"Let's continue playing chess."

"..."

"Does Jian also have children in the mortal realm?" Hengzu asked.

Qing Linghuan cautiously placed a black piece, "It's an ancient imperial beast, quite cute-looking, with four heads, it must be a smart one."

Hengzu raised his eyelids slightly, "You have thirteen tails, but I haven't seen any improvement."

Qing Linghuan: "...Yes, I have great potential for development."

"...There's another son of the Primordial Demon?" Hengzu continued to place his pieces.

Qing Linghuan was taken aback, almost dropping the black chess piece in her hand. "Yes, but Yan Yan replaced his Yuan Demon Heart, so now he's just an ordinary human cub. However, he will still become a Yuan Demon after his Yuan Demon Bone awakens in the future."

"I want to see Jian's two children." Hengzu waved his hand gently, collecting all the chess pieces.

The chessboard has changed its appearance... There are no more chess squares or star positions, only emptiness. The places where the chess pieces were placed are now continents!

If he loses, it will mean the destruction of an entire continent!

Qing Linghuan broke out in a cold sweat. "Then Hengzu might have to suffer a bit."

Hengzu looked at him and remained silent for a moment.

……

Upon hearing Su Yan's suggestion to take the children down to the mortal realm to attend the 9000th birthday banquet of Madam Ming, Yu Hao fully agreed.

Furthermore, they prepared generous birthday gifts and asked Su Yan to help deliver them to Old Madam Ming.

Su Yan took the gift and looked towards the door. "Why hasn't Huanhuan come back yet? Weren't you two together just now?"

Yu Hao replied, "He's probably back in his fox den taking a nap."

Su Yan patted Xiao Tiantian, who was playing a jigsaw puzzle, and said, "Go find your dad. It's time to eat."

"Oh." Xiao Tiantian took out a communication talisman—[Dad, Mom's calling you for dinner.]

Then continue playing the game.

Su Yan: "..."

Yu Hao looked at her and said, "Yan Yan, I have something to ask you."

Su Yan nodded. "Go ahead."

Yu Hao replied, "If some children had their talents sealed away because of their dangerous nature, what would you do?"

“Talent is dangerous? You mean…” Su Yan suddenly stopped talking, looked at the children playing games, and walked towards the door.

Yu Hao followed her.

Su Yan asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Yu Hao replied, "Although you replaced Xiao Fengning's demonic heart, he was originally a demon. What will you do when he grows up?"

“He’ll be able to control himself when he grows up.” Su Yan felt that even if he was talented, it didn’t matter. “Talent is like a knife. If a chef holds it, it’s just a cooking utensil.”

"What if he can't control this knife? You've never experienced the terror of the Yuan Demon Heart, so you won't know."

“I’ve been there.” Su Yan raised her hand, revealing no innate talents or profound mysteries. “I used to have a fire-type talent, and I fed him all the hundreds of innate talents and profound mysteries that came with the childbirth reward. In the end, I watched him devour the Taotie!”

"..." Yu Hao's gaze grew increasingly solemn. "In other words, he already possesses at least the Taotie talent."

“Yes.” Su Yan replied, “Xiaomi Qi was born in the same womb as him. If it weren’t for Xiao Mei, he would have devoured Xiaomi Qi as well. Thinking about it now, it’s really terrifying.”

Su Yan listened to Xiao Miqi's laughter coming from the room, "Qing Linghuan got angry at me and even wanted to break up, all because of Xiao Fengning."

“I haven’t heard that dead fox mention it,” Yu Hao replied.

"It's rather embarrassing, of course I won't tell you," Su Yan said with a smile. "He hid in a fox den with two children, and I could even summon the children from another realm back then..."

"If they snatch the child away, you really have to back down. If I were in their shoes, I would have done the same."

"But what truly put Huanhuan at ease was that she no longer minded that Xiao Fengning was Xiao Tiantian's birth."

"The nine-tailed celestial fox, born with nine lives and nine tails, possesses its own Chaos Fire. And only Chaos Fire can kill the Primordial Demon."

"Yes."
