Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

Hua Jueming only learned of the news after returning home, and immediately wanted to apologize to Hua Gengchen!

It's all his fault! If he hadn't been stuck in traffic, Madam would never have suffered this ordeal. If he had arrived in time, even if they had encountered danger, he and Bai Ze wouldn't have let the enemy's feint succeed!

"Hey, wait a minute!" Bai Ze stopped Hua Jueming from apologizing to Hua Gengchen. "Your master is currently cuddling with Xiao Su Bai. If you go to them to apologize at this time, your master will surely cut you down completely!"

Hua Jueming paused, blinked twice, realizing he hadn't considered this possibility.

Hua Jueming stopped and thought for a moment before saying seriously, "Then, I'll wait until Master is alone before I go."

Bai Ze sighed and rubbed his forehead. No matter how you looked at it, Hua Jueming couldn't be blamed for what happened today. Why was he trying to take the blame himself?

Does spending too much time with Hua Gengchen cause both humans and demons to become abnormal?

Anyway, he couldn't persuade Hua Jueming. Let him do whatever he wants! When people get old, even if they want to manage things, they are no longer able to.

Bai Ze and Hua Jueming waited for quite a while in the downstairs living room before seeing Hua Gengchen come down. Bai Ze immediately went up to him and asked with concern, "Is Xiao Su Bai asleep?"

"Hmm." Hua Gengchen nodded gently. "He was drugged with sleeping powder and fell asleep not long after going upstairs."

"Are you alright?" Bai Ze pressed.

"It's nothing serious!" This was Hua Gengchen's greatest relief.

"Master..." Hua Jueming called out to Hua Gengchen, and without thinking, he knelt down. But before he could kneel, he was pulled back by a gentle force. Hua Gengchen said calmly, "This is not your fault! It was those demons who were cunning!" Thinking that Su Bai had suffered this calamity because of him, Hua Gengchen's killing intent surged. He ordered Hua Jueming, "You immediately organize a force, the higher the combat power, the better. I want those demons who attacked Su Bai to die a horrible death!"

"Yes!" Hua Jueming was also eager to take revenge on those demons. They dared to lay a hand on his wife, so he had to not only use his claws, but also completely pulverize them!

Seeing Hua Jueming disappear in a flash, Bai Ze was extremely anxious. "What if you expose your identity as a demon like this? What about the consequences?" The human authorities were probably nagging him, their mouths were like machine guns, rattling off, making him see stars every time.

"I don't care about the consequences." Hua Gengchen said angrily, "If anyone touches my people, I will not let them go, not even if they are a human, let alone a heinous demon!" However, since Su Bai said he would take revenge on the humans himself, he would deal with the demons first. As for the humans, he would take revenge on his own after Su Bai had finished his revenge.

"I know!" Bai Ze felt powerless. The dragon race was a domineering race. He had lived for tens of thousands of years and had never seen anyone who had harmed someone protected by the dragon race and still escape unscathed. "Revenge is of course necessary, but what are you trying to do by making such a big fuss? Don't act impulsively! Some things are not the time to be exposed yet."

Upon hearing this, Hua Gengchen's expression softened, and under Bai Ze's astonished gaze, Hua Gengchen immediately took out his phone and made a call.

The phone rang for a while before being answered. Once connected, Hua Gengchen didn't waste any words and said directly, "The people hiding in the Demon Clan attacked my wife. I have to have a serious talk with the Demon Clan about this. I'm giving you a heads-up now so you can tell the human authorities to handle the aftermath properly." After saying that, Hua Gengchen hung up the phone.

Bai Ze was completely baffled by Hua Gengchen's actions. At least listen to the other person's agreement before hanging up!

Just as he was thinking this, Bai Ze's phone rang. Even the melodious ringtone sounded anxious to him. He immediately took out his phone and answered, "This is Bai Ze."

"Bai Ze! Are you with Hua Gengchen? Has Hua Gengchen left? If not, stop him right now!" Canglong's voice on the other end of the phone was practically steaming with anxiety. He hadn't even figured out what was going on when Hua Gengchen hung up on him, leaving him no chance to get any answers!

After a moment's thought, Canglong sensed something was amiss. Something that Hua Gengchen would call him to say hello was definitely not a small matter. Coupled with the unease in his heart, Canglong immediately called Bai Ze.

He was afraid that if he called Hua Gengchen, Hua Gengchen would hang up on him immediately!

After much thought, the only one who could temporarily stop Hua Gengchen was Bai Ze.

Bai Ze's mind hadn't processed what was happening, but his body reacted quickly, reaching out to pull Hua Gengchen back. "I've got him!"

Canglong let out a huge sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, a movement so loud that Bai Ze could hear it clearly even through the phone. "Could you please turn the phone on speakerphone?" Canglong's voice was full of exhaustion.

Bai Ze could operate the phone with one hand without any problems. After turning on the speakerphone, he said to Canglong, "It's already on."

"Hua Gengchen, what exactly happened? Is Su Bai alright? Is he in any danger? And what do you want to do?" Canglong bombarded him with all his questions at once.

Hua Gengchen was very unhappy after being pulled back by Bai Ze. When he heard Canglong ask this question, his cold face became even colder. "I have already made myself very clear."

The dragon choked on its breath. So, is that what you call being very clear in a concise way?

Bai Ze rolled his eyes silently, but he couldn't deny that Hua Gengchen's explanation was clear enough compared to the past, and he, as someone with experience, understood it immediately.

Having no other option, Canglong took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone, "How do you plan to find those demons hiding in the human realm?"

"Naturally, we'll uproot them and pulverize them!" Hua Gengchen declared domineeringly. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on his people would be taught a lesson they would never forget!

Don't you know that the dragon's reverse scale is so sharp that touching it means certain death?

Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon felt the temperature around him drop slightly. "Aren't you worried about alerting the enemy? And there's a real chance that the humans will discover the existence of the fairies..."

"They started this whole thing." This means that their uprooting them was their own fault. "As for the issue of being discovered by humans, didn't I just give you a heads-up? You should let those in power in the human world prepare, and I will be more careful in my actions so that I won't be discovered by humans."

Canglong was once again speechless at Hua Gengchen's words. What he said made so much sense! He couldn't find a reason to refute it!

"Don't you know how much work this is?" Canglong roared angrily. Although there are many humans, they need to rest. Even fairies need to rest. Not everyone is like Hua Gengchen, who can work non-stop without feeling tired.

"That's none of my business, I have to settle accounts with them!" Hua Gengchen insisted. "Otherwise, anyone can lay a hand on my people, how can Su Bai's safety be guaranteed? I have to show those hiding in the shadows that the price of attacking my people is far greater than they can imagine!"

The thought that Su Bai's life would be fatally threatened if he arrived even a second later made Hua Gengchen feel like a drawn sword, his anger burning until he was thoroughly satisfied.

After hearing Hua Gengchen's words, Canglong remained silent for a moment before saying, "Su Bai's safety is indeed very important!" If he were to be attacked frequently, there was no guarantee that something might happen to Su Bai one day, plunging both the demon realm and the human realm into darkness. They couldn't let this glimmer of hope, which they had waited for over a thousand years, be extinguished. "I have no objection to your plan to take action against the demons lurking in the human realm, but could you keep the commotion a little smaller? Just a tiny bit?"

As a fellow dragon, Canglong could understand Hua Gengchen's thoughts to some extent, but he had to consider the needs of humanity.

Hua Gengchen was silent for a moment after hearing this, then said, "I'll try my best!"

"Then I'll go talk to the human authorities first. Give me half an hour." Without even catching his breath, he quickly emphasized, "You absolutely mustn't act impulsively before I call you! You absolutely must!" After saying that, Canglong, just like Hua Gengchen, hung up the phone directly.

However, Hua Gengchen wasn't angry. He gave Bai Ze a cold look, and Bai Ze immediately let go of Hua Gengchen's hand and awkwardly retreated to the side.

Half an hour passed quickly, and Canglong called right on time. "Do whatever you want! It's good to teach them a lesson!" He paused slightly, then added cautiously, "Just one thing: keep the noise down a little bit."

"Hmm." Hua Gengchen hung up the phone and strode out. Night had fallen; it was truly a perfect hunting opportunity.

----

Su Bai was initially very peaceful after falling asleep, but at some point he started dreaming.

In his dream, he fell into a world shrouded in mist. Before he could figure out where he was, he was targeted by many ferocious beasts. Not wanting to die in their jaws, Su Bai could only run forward desperately.

As he ran, Su Bai was forced to the edge of a cliff. Looking at the endless bottom of the cliff and the drooling wild beasts, Su Bai gritted his teeth and jumped off the cliff.

The imagined pain did not come; instead, my whole body was enveloped by a relatively gentle force.

Before Su Bai could even feel happy, water rushed into his mouth and nose, blocking his breathing. Su Bai quickly closed his mouth and struggled desperately towards the surface of the water.

After swimming a couple of times, Su Bai got tangled in the water plants. Seeing that the oxygen in his chest wouldn't last much longer, Su Bai had no choice but to rely on himself and try to untangle the water plants from his feet.

Before the oxygen in his chest cavity ran out, Su Bai finally untangled the seaweed that was wrapped around his feet, but Su Bai's joy was only for a moment before he was overwhelmed by disappointment and fear again.

Because the oxygen in his chest cavity had been completely used up, he no longer had the strength to swim to the surface to breathe fresh air.

Su Bai thought his death was imminent...

But he hadn't finished what he wanted to do! He didn't want to die; he wanted to live!

Thinking this, Su Bai suddenly found the strength to swim a little further to the surface, but ultimately, he was running out of oxygen and his strength was almost gone. Victory was right in front of him, but it was like a flower in the water or the moon in a well—desirable but unattainable.

Is this the only way...?

Su Bai was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't stop his body from sinking.

Just then, a golden light quickly arrived in front of Su Bai from a distance, wrapped Su Bai up with its long tail, and then leaped out of the water.

Through the light of the rising sun, Su Bai could see clearly the benefactor who had saved his life—a golden, majestic dragon!
