[Xu Run] Love Parting

23.

In Xuanji Palace, Xu Feng looked heavy as he watched Li'er happily counting its tails.

Li'er is quite stable in front of outsiders now, but she still doesn't stick to her nature under the knees of her parents. After counting for a long time, she realized that something was wrong with her father.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Feng reluctantly pulled the corners of her lips: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered an old friend."

After a pause, Xu Feng said again: "Li'er, don't tell your father about the tail, father is going to the lower realm now, go back as soon as you go, we will tell him when father comes back, okay?"

Li'er blinked twice: "Okay."

When Lao Hu came to inform Jin Mi in a hurry, Jin Mi was feeding the two children. Hearing this, he ignored the two little snowfoxes lying on his knees waiting to be fed, and hurriedly got up and went to the front hall.

I saw a mess in the hall, two figures, one white and one black, were flying up and down.

Jin Mi hurriedly shouted: "Mo Chen, Xu Feng, what are you doing!"

No one paid any attention to her, the two of them punched to the flesh, and the sword pointed to the heart, it was not like an ordinary competition at all.

Jin Mi was beside him in a panic. He thought that after so many years, the two families got along well, and with the raccoon playing tricks and playing tricks, Mo Chen and Xu Feng had already settled their suspicions, but unexpectedly they fought each other like this.

After watching for a while, seeing that the two people's eyes were gradually turning red, and the scene became more and more tense, Jin Mi couldn't bear it any longer, and plunged into the space between them.

The next moment, both swords stopped half an inch away from Jin Mi, and two voices sounded at the same time: "Jin Mi, get out of the way!"

Jin Mi hurriedly opened his arms to protect Mo Chen, "Xu Feng, what are you going crazy about!"

"What am I going crazy about? Ask him!" Xu Feng's eyes were red, and even the tip of his sword was shaking slightly with anger, "You tell him, how many tails are there?!"

Mo Chen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly bit his lower lip tightly, without saying a word.

Jin Mi asked suspiciously, "Isn't Li'er an eight-tailed spirit fox?"

"Yeah, Bawei... Mo Chen! We treat you as close relatives and friends, and we believe in you, but what about you? You have lied to me and Runyu for more than 1000 years like this!!"

Mo Chen was silent at first, but he also roared when he heard this: "Do you believe me? Do you believe me and let Jin Mi play tricks on me? I am joking with Jin Mi, you must take it seriously!"

Jin Mi felt something was wrong, grabbed Mo Chen's sleeve and shook it vigorously: "Mo Chen, what's going on?!"

Mo Chen's Adam's apple moved, and when he was about to speak, Xu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Jin Mi, let me tell you, Li'er has grown a ninth tail today, he is a genuine nine-tailed black fox, Mo Fei's son."

"Mur Fei's son, then you and Runyu are Lier's father-killing enemies...God," Jin Mi turned around and stared at Mo Chen with wide eyes: "Mo Chen, are you telling me this is true? You can't take a little joke..."

Mo Chen had calmed down at this time, and said calmly: "It's not a joke, Li'er is indeed a nine-tailed black fox. Historically, only the demon king's direct lineage is a nine-tailed fox. There is only one possibility for Li'er's age. He is the illegitimate son of Mo Fei." .”

"When did you know?"

"The first time the fairy next to Runyu took Lier to take refuge in the flower world, I saw it."

Xu Feng suddenly remembered Mo Chen's strange enthusiasm when he came to pick up Li'er and parted, and a surge of anger rushed to Tianling, and he wanted to attack Mo Chen again, but suddenly heard Mo Chen say: "I'm sorry."

Xu Feng paused, pressed the tip of the sword against Mo Chen's heart and said in a bitter voice for a while: "What's the point of saying I'm sorry now!"

"I know nothing can be redeemed, but I was wrong about this matter. I was just playing tricks on you at the beginning, so that you two could taste what it's like to help the Qiu family raise their son. Later, I saw that you were so caring about Li'er. I wanted to tell you the truth, but at that time Li'er was already very dependent on you, I could see that you also regarded him as your own child and placed high hopes on him, if I said it, it would hurt both Li'er and you, so I I didn’t say anything. So Xufeng, I’m sorry for keeping you and Runyu in the dark. Just now I didn’t know you came because of this matter, so I fought with you. Now you do it, I will never resist.”

Xu Feng closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless. After a long time, she slowly retracted her sword and walked towards the exit of the hall in silence.

Mo Chen looked at him as if his spine had been pulled out in an instant, and he suddenly collapsed. He couldn't bear it, and said to his back: "Xufeng, I didn't tell you, but there is actually another reason."

Xu Feng stopped in her tracks.

"Don't you think Li'er really looks like the two of you? Xu Feng, are you sure that your first child really doesn't have a soul left?"

Xu Feng turned around slowly: "Do you think I haven't thought about it? Do you think Runyu didn't try it back then? If it wasn't...how could Runyu be sad for so many years? If it is gone, it will be gone. We have long since given up Fantasy."

Watching Xu Feng gradually walk away until it disappeared, Mo Chen let out a long sigh.

The so-called good luck tricks people, that's it.

Runyu felt that the dinner today was a bit weird, Xufeng and Li'er were silent and depressed.

"What happened to you two?"

Xu Feng was in a daze, and was pushed by Runyu again before she reacted, and hurriedly said: "Ah, it's okay."

"You..." Runyu was about to ask again, when Lier suddenly put down the bowl and said, "Father, Father, the child is full, go and review the spells you learned today, and eat slowly."

After saying that, Li'er ran out, leaving only Runyu and Xufeng in the hall.

Runyu turned around and looked at Xufeng with a puzzled expression: "Did you quarrel with Li'er?"

"It's not a quarrel." Xu Feng put down the bowl and chopsticks, pondered for a moment and said, "Yu'er, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his serious face, Runyu couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and became nervous.

Xu Feng thought about his words, and said intermittently: "Li'er...he grew a ninth tail today, if nothing else...his biological father should be Murphy."

Runyu's eyes widened: "What did you say?"

"I say……"

"I don't believe it!" Runyu stood up suddenly, "I'll go find Li'er."

Xu Feng hurriedly hugged him: "Yu'er, I haven't told Li'er yet. Believe me, I confirmed it several times, and I went to find Mo Chen today, and he also admitted that he lied to us, Li'er... It is indeed Murphy's son."

Runyu's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Then what should we do? We...how should we tell Li'er... that we...killed his father?"

"Yu'er, you don't have to worry too much. There is no record related to Li'er's birth in the demon world. Mo Chen guessed that Li'er should be an illegitimate child. If this is the case, Mo Fei himself may not even know about Li'er's existence, otherwise Li'er Nor will he pee in the mortal world since he was a child. Li'er has never met his biological father, and Mo Fei is a stranger to him. I believe Li'er can understand the importance of life and nourishment."

Xu Feng wrapped Runyu's slightly cool hands in his palms, and comforted him: "Yu'er, the child you raised with your own hands, you know how you treat him and what his temperament is, and he won't deny you because of this. "

"But..." Runyu thought of Suli and Tuyao, and her heart ached like twists and turns, "It is said that being kind is not worth nourishing kindness, but if there is no kindness, how can we nourish kindness?"

"I don't know Murphy!"

Suddenly there was a loud roar from Li'er, and Runyu and Xufeng froze suddenly.

I saw Li'er standing at the gate of the hall, looking at them with tears in his eyes.

The next moment Li'er walked in step by step and knelt down in front of Runyu.

"I don't know Murphy," Li'er repeated, with tears still stubbornly rolling in his eyes, "I only know that it was my mother who saved me when I was on the verge of death and gave me the first full meal in my life." Meal, helped me take the first hot bath in my life; it was Daddy, who fed me the first roast chicken in my life, and took me to shoot the first bird in my life. All my good memories are with my father and mother All my skills and knowledge were taught by my parents. I know I was not born by my parents, but I still remember what my mother said. You said, no matter what I look like in the future, if I make mistakes What's the matter, I am your child. So also, even if I am the nine-tailed black fox, even if I am the son of the demon king, so what? Apart from father and mother, Lier has no other relatives! "

Hearing this, Runyu couldn't help but knelt down and hugged Li'er, and said with a tearful smile: "Li'er... Mother's little Li'er has really grown up..."

Feeling the warmth of Runyu's embrace, Li'er choked up and said, "Mother, Li'er is the child of a big villain, so don't abandon Li'er, okay?"

Runyu caressed his cheek and said with a smile: "Silly fox, repeat the sentence you just repeated."

Li'er looked at Runyu and paused every word: "No matter what Li'er looks like in the future or what he did wrong, Li'er is mother's child..."

Li'er suddenly burst into tears: "Mother! Mother! Li'er will never leave you!"

Xu Feng watched from the side, as if she had returned to the day of Compensation for Meng Zhai. With her long and short hair that looked like being bitten by a dog, Li Er was crying loudly in Runyu's arms; while Runyu was stroking him While patting his back lightly, his eye circles were still red, but he still coaxed the baby in his arms softly...

So Xu Feng smiled again with red eyes, quietly got up and went out to get a handkerchief, wiped away the tears on the faces of the two of them one by one, and then the three of them hugged each other for a long, long time...

A turmoil that made Xu Feng worry for a whole day, or perhaps for more than 1000 years, ended quietly like this.

After only one meal, Xuanji Palace returned to its former state.

After dinner, Runyu sat at the table as usual to test Li'er's homework, and suddenly asked: "Li'er, I didn't mention the Nine-tailed Black Fox and the Demon King in my conversation with Xu Feng, how did you know of?"

Li'er thought for a while, and said: "During the day, when Daddy heard me say that he had grown a tail again, he looked very nervous and asked me not to tell you. I got some references about the demon fox, made some guesses, and then I overheard your conversation, so I'm sure."

"It turns out that during the meal, you deliberately went out first to lure your father to tell the truth, right?"

"Hmm! Daddy's ecstasy, I'm sure I wouldn't tell him about it."

Runyu smiled and shook her head: "Li'er, Li'er, you really deserve to be a little fox."

Li'er hurriedly approached and said with a shy face: "Li'er is a little fox in the first place, but it has to be a little fox raised by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven to be so smart, Father, isn't it?"

Runyu flicked his forehead: "You are a big kid."

Li'er groaned, rubbed his forehead and muttered, "The boy is not young anymore! In another 400 years, the boy will be an adult!"

"One thousand and four hundred years is still too early." Runyu laughed dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Li'er said sternly: "It's not early at all, my child still thinks there is not enough time."

Runyu asked curiously, "Why?"

Li'er moved on the stool, straightened up and sat upright: "Father, my child made a decision in the Provincial Economic Pavilion today."

Seeing Li'er's serious face, Runyu couldn't help smiling: "What decision?"

"My child has decided to return to the demon world when she becomes an adult."

"Why?" Runyu frowned fiercely, "When you become an adult, the father will give you a godly loan, and you don't need to go back to the demon world. Besides, so many generations of demon kings have continued to provoke troubles, isn't it because of Did you owe them a god position to the Fox Clan when you conferred the gods?"

"Father Emperor, it is precisely because so many generations of demon kings have provoked troubles that I want to return to the demon world and become the demon king, so that I will no longer let the demon world become a serious concern for my father."

Runyu was stunned: "Li'er..."

"Father was so kind back then that he only killed Mo Fei and his grown sons, but he still had four underage sons. If one of them became the demon king and took the revenge of killing his father, he would be killed. The disgrace of the half-clan, but ten thousand years, will definitely come back and provoke the war again. Besides, the identity of the child can be concealed for a while, but not forever. If the father's reputation is damaged, the child will not feel at ease even if he stays in the heaven. Therefore, going to the demon world is the best and most balanced way. During the period before adulthood, the child will work harder so that he can have capital Once you win the throne, the day when the child becomes the demon king will be the time when the father will feel at ease."

"Beaver..."

Runyu seemed to be meeting Li'er for the first time, looking at him in disbelief, at his still tender shoulders.

Before he knew it, his liu'er had grown to such a degree.

Runyu seems to have seen that one day in the future, this pair of shoulders will shoulder the burden of the six realms together with her.

When can you be more proud of being a parent?
