Bai Yang said sadly, “Your Highness, I really didn’t want to reveal the truth, but circumstances being what they are, I had no other choice.”

As he said this, he turned to Zhou Ying, who was so surprised his head almost fell off, and said emotionally, “Haven’t you been hounding me about why I’ve been helping you? I’ll tell you now, it’s because I’m your father.”

His eyes were shiny with tears, and he walked over to Zhou Ying and said, “Son, I’m your father.”

Zhou Ying recovered from his shock and recoiled. He said, “No, you can’t be….” kX bET

Bai Yang heard his words and almost died of anger, but continued to affectionately spout nonsense, saying, “I really am your father. Your real hometown is not Lijia Village, but Miwu Forest. At that time, I unintentionally entered the Human Realm and was seriously injured. Fortunately, I was saved by your mother. Your mother was a pill master who lived in Miwu Forest. She had no access to the outside world and didn’t know the difference between humans and demons. She saved me out of kindness.”

Bai Yang was resolute, and he spoke more and more smoothly because this information was all described in the book. Xiao Ling was simultaneously looking up the information and feeding it to him.

“After your mother saved me, I was moved. Before we knew it, we had you. When I recovered, I returned to the Demon Realm, originally planning to return to you and your mother, but who could have known that while waiting for my return your mother was killed during a Miwu Forest demonic beast rebellion? I thought that you had also died in that rebellion.”

“After all these years, when I saw you again in the Hidden Flower Mirage, I knew you were my son. You look just like your mother. You got your smooth skin and handsome features from her.”

HUbndf

Bai Yang spoke very solemnly.

Zhou Ying hadn’t believed it at first but gradually became shocked and numb because everything Bai Yang said really had happened. Moreover, it was information that only he knew about.

Could it… could it be that the person in front of him really was his father?

Zhou Ying’s mind was in chaos. 6j20zS

The Demon King recovered from his shock, raised an eyebrow, and said, “Lies!”

“I’m not lying!” Bai Yang explained hastily. “I’m really not. Zhou Ying is my son. Your Highness, the reason I saved him is that he’s my son. We are very close as father and son. You’ll forgive me, won’t you?”

“If he really is your son, I will consider letting him go,” the Demon King said coldly. “But is he?”

“He is!” Bai Yang made a solemn vow. “If you don’t believe me, you can use blood magic.” Rf65zs

Blood magic was one of the ways to check lineage in the Demon Realm. The higher the skill of the user, the more accurate the result.

“Very well, and what if it turns out he’s not your son?” the Demon King asked, smiling angrily.

“If he’s not my son, you won’t have to do anything, I’ll kill him on the spot,” Bai Yang said without the slightest hesitation.

“Good. I’ll give you one chance.” The Demon King didn’t seem to believe him at all. “Now I’ll use blood magic to test you both. We’ll see whether or not he lives.” 2Z1iBA

“Alright, test us as quickly as possible, Your Highness,” Bai Yang said, inclining his body. He took advantage of the fact that the Demon King was completely focused on Zhou Ying to take the mother fruit out of his qiankun pouch and eat it.

Guanyin Bodhisattva, Heavenly Empress Mother, please make sure that this mother fruit works by any means necessary. Otherwise, he could only use martial force to fight the Demon King.

While he was thinking this, the Demon King roughly took Zhou Ying’s blood and then came over and took some of Bai Yang’s.

Bai Yang unhesitatingly held out his arm for him to take blood. 2u0Y1h

The Demon King looked into his eyes and used a fingernail to cut his wrist. He then used magic to collect a drop of blood.

Two bright red drops of blood floated in the air. The sight was very dazzling.

Zhou Ying looked at Bai Yang, who looked back at him affectionately.

Zhou Ying: “….!”

The Demon king: “….!”

Seeing their blood slowly mix together, the Demon King and Zhou Ying’s faces showed equally shocked expressions, which could be summarized in a few words: what the fuck!? t7qbpz

Blood magic was similar to a modern-day paternity or maternity test in that they were both highly credible. If someone else had performed the test, it could have been faked, but this time it was the Demon King himself who performed the test and took the blood. There was no opportunity to fake the results.

It was precisely for this reason that the result had such a big impact on the Demon King.

Zhou Ying couldn’t believe it either. Suddenly gaining another father for no reason, it would be hard for anyone to accept.

The three men looked at each other in dismay, their moods very complicated. Nobody said anything. 9dMFZI

Seeing the success of the blood magic, Bai Yang’s pounding heart finally relaxed. He said solemnly, “Your Highness, do you now see that I didn’t trick you? Zhou Ying really is my son.”

He spoke and sighed as if possessed by a drama queen. “The reason I saved him really wasn’t to oppose Your Highness. It’s just that he’s my son. I failed his mother. If I didn’t save him, could I still be considered a person?”

As he spoke, his expression became passionate, and he looked like he was about to cry.

The Demon King’s expression was very stiff. After hearing Bai Yang’s speech, the muscles in his face moved involuntarily. After a long while, he said with difficulty, “He really is your son?” 5zjg0n

“Yes, of course he is! Otherwise, why would I take great pains to save him?” Bai Yang immediately assured him.

“No, I don’t believe it!”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

It wasn’t the Demon King who said this, but Zhou Ying who’d been off to the side.

All of Bai Yang’s attention had been on the Demon King because he knew that as long as the Demon King believed that Zhou Ying was Bai Yang’s son, he’d still be able to save the mission. When he heard what Zhou Ying shouted, he ached to rush over and slap his dog head. Are you stupid? Just follow my lead! 3jKkey

However, he couldn’t do that. Bai Yang could only forcefully mediate.

“I knew it’d be hard for you to accept, so I never intended to acknowledge you.” Bai Yang assumed a fatherly look and said sadly, “It’s expected that you don’t know me. After all, I abandoned you and your mother for so long. I’m sorry for failing you both.”

Sorry protagonist, today you need to recognize me as your father.

“No.” Probably no matter how smart someone is, if they suddenly encounter this kind of situation of accepting a new father, their IQ would also fall. Zhou Ying unexpectedly didn’t follow Bai Yang’s lead. Rather, he shook his head and retreated, denying and shaking his head. “You’re clearly not much older than me. You can’t be my dad.” FrknfZ

Mentally, Bai Yang stabbed him ten thousand times with a thousand knives. Outwardly, his face was just as emotional and fatherly as before. “Even though I seem young, I’m actually a few thousand years old.”

It was true. Besides Zhou Ying who could be considered in the springtime of his life, fresh, tender, and juicy, the Demon King and Bai Yang were both thousands of years old freaks. Of course, in the cultivation world, age and cultivation were deeply intertwined. Perhaps it was nature’s way of maintaining balance. The higher one’s cultivation, the more difficult it would be for the offspring. The lower one’s cultivation, the stronger one’s fertility.

However, if you lose your virginity before starting cultivation, you could have a child, but the path to cultivation would be very difficult, maybe even cut off.

This is an understandable way for nature to keep things in balance. If the fertility of cultivation masters wasn’t limited, masters could live tens of thousands of years, marry thousands upon thousands of women (or thousands upon thousands of husbands), and have thousands upon thousands of children. The whole world would be the top cultivator’s heir, which would be a great disaster for humankind. AR8E3B

People of Bai Yang’s level generally shouldn’t have children. However, that didn’t mean it wasn’t possible.

“A few thousand years old?” Zhou Ying was shocked.

Bai Yang nodded. Originally, he thought of getting him to follow his lead, but then thought better of it. If Zhou Ying accepted the mistake and thought he was his father, that was fine. This way, his reaction was genuine, rather than having to bluff.

Beside him, the Demon King’s expression fluctuated. Zhou Ying’s aura was oppressive and chaotic, reflecting his violently fluctuating emotions. rdtRCu

There was so much evidence before, that one couldn’t help but believe it.

Zhou Ying’s face was blank as he mumbled, “You really are my father?”

Bai Yang said, “You still doubt it? The blood magic already proved that you and I are related.”

Zhou Ying: “….” XeZFAv

The Demon King: “….”

That’s right. There’s no fooling blood magic. It was the most compelling and powerful evidence.

Bai Yang said to Zhou Ying emotionally, “Son, I would like to hear you call me ‘dad’.”

Zhou Ying: “….” KCWs2Q

Zhou Ying’s handsome face turned red from suppressed emotion.

Bai Yang gave a deep sigh. “It’s alright. I abandoned you and your mother, so it’s normal that you wouldn’t be willing to call me ‘dad’.”

Then he turned toward the Demon King and said with awe-inspiring righteousness, “Your Highness, this is the truth.”

The truth is that the protagonist’s dad was in the Upper Realm, leading a really awesome existence. After the protagonist ascends to the Upper Realm, he meets his father. BzVfTY

The Demon King: “…”

Probably the information was too much. His whole body was rigid, not moving a muscle.

Bai Yang kneeled before him with a thump, straightened his neck and said, “Your Highness, if you really want to kill my son then kill me first. I wish to offer my life in exchange for my son’s.”

These words were risky. He was betting on the Demon King’s feelings for him. If he truly loved him, he shouldn’t do it. yfV2U3

Judging by the Demon King’s attitude towards him before all this, he shouldn’t do it… right?

Bai Yang’s heart pounded. He wasn’t very sure.

The Demon King finally seemed to come back to himself and after a while said, “What use have I for your life?”

He unhurriedly moved his gaze over to Zhou Ying and said coldly, “Even if Zhou Ying really is your son, he is still the prophesied son of Seven Stars.” Fk9K7g

Bai Yang’s heart thumped. The Demon King still wanted to kill Zhou Ying?

As expected, love couldn’t get in the way of the Demon King’s great undertaking.

In the Demon King’s heart, the great undertaking will always be number one.

There’s no other way. It would be really difficult if he had to rely only on brute force to fight him. yJLfXa

It’s just that the difference between his and the Demon King’s cultivation is so big, he definitely couldn’t beat him. The Demon King had long since crossed into and plundered the late stages of cultivation. Even though he hadn’t ascended, his strength only grew with age, climbing step by step. He was extremely frightening. There used to be people who said that it wasn’t for lack of opportunity that the Demon King didn’t ascend. Rather, the Demon King didn’t want to go to the Upper Realm. He first wanted to accomplish his great undertaking and then leave….

No, I don’t want to fight him at all. I can only flee.

Maybe he could stall him and let Zhou Ying escape….

Bai Yang was mentally mapping out an escape route. 1P7YuQ

“I could spare him.”

…what?

Bai Yang’s head was spinning and couldn’t respond fast enough. Only after a while did he react to the Demon King’s words.

“Your Highness?” Bai Yang was both shocked and happy. “You promise to spare Zhou- my son?” ftdFnr

The Demon King said coldly, “I could spare him, but he must pledge his allegiance to the Demon Realm and work for the Demon race.”

Bai Yang: “….!”

Zhou Ying: “Impossible!”

The Demon King laughed grimly, his gaze like ice. “It doesn’t matter if you agree or not. Others think that I spoil your father and let him do whatever he wants. You are you; he is himself. I’m only sparing your life for his sake.” 4irpZd

Zhou Ying probably sensed some underlying meaning in his words and looked at Bai Yang in astonishment.

Bai Yang immediately stood up and walked over to Zhou Ying to protect him. He smiled stiffly at the Demon King and said, “Your Highness, this child is so young, he doesn’t understand matters. Don’t be mad at him. His mother died early so he had no one to teach him. He’s suffered a lot. This year he will be 23. In our Demon Realm he’d still be considered a baby.”

The Demon King: “…”

The 23-year-old baby Zhou Ying: “….” x6dAJe

Both of them looked at Bai Yang with indescribable expressions.

After a long while, Zhou Ying choked out a sentence. “You even know my real age?”

The Demon King stared at them.

Bai Yang immediately said, “You are my son. Of course, I know.” zPQf4t

The Demon King didn’t know what to think, his face gloomy. “Very well!”

After a pause, he said, “What is Zhou Ying’s mother’s name?”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Yang replied quickly, “Lady Yun.”

“Alright. Lady Yun died so long ago. Don’t think about her. Remember, you’re mine,” the Demon King declared overbearingly. “I can promise you that I’ll spare Zhou Ying’s life, but you must forget Lady Yun and Zhou Ying must surrender and pledge allegiance to our Demon Realm.” 7XcmIH

Zhou Ying, who’d just been listening for a while, finally couldn’t take it anymore and said to the Demon King, “Why are you so overbearing towards him? He’s my father. It’s expected that he would think about my mother!”

The Demon King was like a lion whose tail had been stepped on. He roared, “Stop talking nonsense. Your father is married to me. He’s mine, therefore you must also call me father!”

Zhou Ying was so shocked his head almost dropped to the floor. “Wh- what? My dad mar-married you?”

Bai Yang, whose secret had been inadvertently revealed: “….” cSgR4m

The Demon King turned around and stared at him firmly.

Zhou Ying also stared at him in shock.

Faced with their piercing stares, Bai Yang steeled himself and said, “Yes, it’s true. Zhou Ying, this is….”

He pointed at the Demon King, thought about it for a long while, then finally said, “This is… your stepfather.” fYHJU5

Zhou Ying froze.
