The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

There were no powerful cultivators in the remote town, so Hu Yawu, a demon ancestor, easily saved Lan Meng.

He took the little princess back to the seaside, but she didn't want to leave.

Hu Yawu: "If you don't leave, you'll get arrested again."

The little princess looked pitiful and presented a pile of pearls: "I really want to play on land. Can you take me to play for a while? You can have all these pearls."

The pearls are all of excellent quality, each one plump, large, and round, clearly from the deep sea.

As a demon ancestor, he doesn't lack pearls.

But on his travels, he wouldn't mind having a pretty girl as a companion.

He looked at Lanmeng's fishtail: "Can't your tail turn into legs?"

Lan Meng: "My parents never taught me how to do leg makeup, but I can try it myself."

Hu Yawu looked at the ocean and the sky, and said to the little princess, "I will wait for you here for three days. If you cannot transform into legs after three days, then go back to the sea."

The little princess tried various methods and finally transformed her fish tail into legs on the third day.

Hu Yawu kept his promise and readily took her on the road.

They traveled together, hunted strange beasts together, stood up for justice together, and went on adventures and treasure hunts together...

A year of spending time together led them to develop feelings for each other.

However, the further inland Lanmeng went, the weaker she became.

Later, her fish tail could no longer be hidden, and the scales on it began to fall off...

No matter what healing techniques or elixirs were used, they could not cure her.

Hu Yawu searched all the pharmacists in the demon race and finally found one who had come into contact with the demon shark. He said that if the demon shark stayed away from the ocean, it would die from festering sores all over its body.

Lanmeng's fish tail was already half ulcerated, and she could only briefly lick her legs each day. Her legs were also covered in festering, bloody skin.

Hu Yawu had no choice but to send her back to the Demon Sea.

Even after returning to the Magic Sea Beach, Lan Meng's condition did not improve.

Lan Meng knew that she had to return to the Demon Mermaid Palace.

Only by returning to the Demon Shark Palace and receiving the solace of the ocean and the prayers of her people can she possibly recover.

Lan Meng floated in the sea and blew a conch shell that could transmit sound. Soon, a whale swam over to pick her up.

The whale wasn't large, and its deep blue skin was as dreamlike as the sea.

The whale swam to Lanmeng's side and responded to its little princess with melodious sounds.

Hu Yawu flew over the sea to watch her, the sea breeze making his purple hair flutter wildly.

His eyes were full of reluctance.

Lan Meng, lying on the whale's dorsal fin, asked him, "Would you wait for me on the Demon Sea Beach?"

This question filled him with hope, and his eyes lit up with joy as he nodded eagerly in response, "I do! I do!"

Lan Meng smiled weakly at him: "Then wait for me for three months. I'll come back to you when I'm better in three months. If I don't come back, then I must be in bad shape, so don't wait anymore."

Hu Yawu's nose tingled with emotion: "It will definitely get better!"

Lan Meng: "Okay, I'm leaving."

Hu Yawu: "Let's go, come back soon."

The whale was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, it plunged into the deep sea and disappeared with the little princess.

Hu Yawu waited at the Demon Sea Beach for three months, but the little princess did not return.

He waited another three years.

Three years and three years.

He waited for a hundred three-year periods until one day the waves surged and a huge tsunami appeared on the Demon Sea beach.

The waves submerged the Magic Sea Beach and the town near the beach.

Everything was swept into the sea, and the familiar beach was no more. Only then did he resolutely leave the beach and return to the inland.

The deep affection that ended without a trace was buried deep in her heart, but it took root anew in the bewilderment of the young girl.

He would rather save the little princess countless more times in the illusion than wake up.

……

Feng Yu: "It's been three days, why hasn't Brother Wu woken up yet?"

Huo Die did some calculations and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He's a Demon Ancestor, after all. He should have woken up from this little illusion long ago."

"Unless... he himself doesn't want to wake up."

Feng Yu: "You don't want to wake up? What should we do then?"

Huo Die: "It seems he is in a dream world, caught in his own inner turmoil. We can't force him to wake up; we can only rely on him."

"Knock knock knock." Shen Yao knocked on the door from the outside.

Huo Die: "Come in."

Shen Yao pushed open the door and entered, seeing Wu Ge lying blankly on the bed: "Is he still not awake?"

Feng Yu: "Yeah, he trapped himself inside."

Shen Yao: "Then help him close his eyes. He's had his eyes open for three days. He must be so tired."

That makes sense. Feng Yu reached out and helped Hu Yawu close his eyelids.

In the illusion, Hu Yawu's vision went black, and Lan Meng, whom he was holding, also disappeared.

"Meng'er!" Hu Yawu cried out, startled awake from his dream, and sat up.

"Well, another one troubled by love." Huo Die looked at the three of them with utter disdain, giving them all a look that suggested they were all spineless, before getting up and leaving the room.

Hu Yawu glanced at Feng Yu and Shen Yao by the bed, then closed his eyes and lay back down.

Feng Yu and Shen Yao exchanged a helpless glance, then quietly left hand in hand.

No matter how he lay on the couch, Hu Yawu couldn't return to the illusion. Disappointed and saddened, he silently took out a bottle of strong liquor from his storage ring...

The strong liquor burns my throat... it scorches my heart and lungs!

……

Inside the room, Shen Yao and Feng Yu were being affectionate again.

Shen Yao leaned on Feng Yu's shoulder: "This Song'ao Beast House, can it only hover and not fly away?"

Feng Yu: "We can fly, but we don't know what dangers lie ahead, and Brother Wu hasn't recovered yet, so we'll leave the beast house here for now."

Shen Yao: "That's true. I really didn't expect that a demonic cultivator like Brother Wu would be troubled by love."

Feng Yu gently kissed her cheek: "If you leave me, I will also be troubled by love."

Ugh! Here we go again! I'm going to have to keep asking her if she'll leave!

Shen Yao forced a change of topic: "Gou Yue said that Brother Wu is a womanizer, with a constant stream of beautiful girls around him."

Feng Yu: "Hmm... we can't judge a book by its cover. He may appear dissolute on the outside but be devoted on the inside."

Shen Yao suddenly laughed out loud, straightened up and asked him, "And you? Are you the way you seem on the surface?"

Feng Yu: "I am true to myself."

"Hahaha." Shen Yao covered her face and laughed at him: "Consistent inside and out, right? Hahahaha."

Feng Yu asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yao laughed so hard her shoulders shook: "The literal meaning, hahahahaha."

Feng Yu: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Shen Yao pursed her lips, suppressing a smile as she shook her head.

Feng Yu started tickling her waist: "Will you tell me or not?"

"Don't tickle me... Hahaha... It's so itchy... Hahaha..." Shen Yao laughed until tears streamed down her face. She laughed so hard, but then she was tickled and felt weak all over.

Feng Yu: "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Shen Yao: "Hahahaha... I won't tell you, even if you scratch me, I still won't tell you, hahaha..."

The trembling, smiling flower branch was pressed down on the bed.

Shen Yao: "The yellow one... the yellow one is here..."

Feng Yu understood... So that's what it meant...

Then we must solidify the yellow aspect.

I need to show her that I am truly consistent inside and out.
