Yan Xuanjing was well aware of his father’s casual lifestyle, despite the heavy responsibility he bore as the leader of the Land of Green Mountains. He often acted as if it were no concern of his, and left whenever he wished.
The only time Yan Xuanjing ever saw his father in a majestic light was when he was a child. At that time, Yan Gui had been sabotaged in the palace, and his rage caused him to thoroughly cleanse the palace of all monsters
During this time, a thick and heavy scent of blood filled the air in Land of Green Mountains, and the citizens of the capital were all tensed, and filled with anxiety and fear that they would be in danger.
Apart from that instance, Yan Xuanjing’s only impression of his father was of him lying in the sun like a lazy person.
For monsters of that level, the effects of their battles were great, and it was difficult for them to recover. There was also a good chance that other monsters would sneak in to do something while they were recovering from an injury.
But even if he could understand, Yan Xuanjing also felt that his father was too idle.
He idled about and did nothing everyday, other than slacking off and bullying his son.
Unfortunately, Yan Xuanjing couldn’t defeat him.
This time, that thing that had spread over the whole Great Wilderness wasn’t a small matter. It had already directly gone to the Kunlun Mountains, and that was one of the most prosperous places in the Great Wilderness.
Such a big thing, and his father was actually able to throw this terrible mess aside and run out!
Yan Xuanjing looked at Yan Gui who was sitting in front of him for a long time, blinked, and then turned to Lin Mu, “your dog?
“Yes. This is the Milky I told you about. He’s probably afraid of you, so he’s always been hiding. I don’t know why he suddenly came back today.” Lin Mu didn’t bother thinking too much about it. He crouched down and grabbed the big pile of fluff and rubbed him, “Good looking, huh?”
The dog was rubbed twice and his eyes bent into crescents of happiness, rubbing and nudging back at Lin Mu. With a flick of his tail, he circled around Lin Mu.
Lin Mu was flattered.
Yan Xuanjing was expressionless.
Milky’s unusual behaviour confused Lin Mu a little. He patted the dog’s head, turned Milky over on the floor and patted all over his body, a little worried, “are you uncomfortable somewhere?”
Yan Xuanjing looked at Yan Gui, who had fallen with a single push, showing his belly without any moral integrity, and his expression was very cold.
“He’s probably hungry.” Yan Xuanjing said.
Lin Mu had a sudden realisation and nodded.
After all, Milky hadn’t taken dinner.
However, it wasn’t a big problem and it only took a few minutes to cook a chicken breast.
“Then I’ll go and prepare dinner for Milky first.” Lin Mu said and stood up. He wasn’t worried about Yan Xuanjing — anyways, a great monster couldn’t possibly bully a pet dog.
Yan Xuanjing nodded slightly and watched as Lin Mu enter the house.
Little Ginseng felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was not right, he took a careful look at Yan Xuanjing, and looked at Milky again, plucking up his courage, he said in a trembling yet nasal tone that carried a certain childishness, “You… both of you, don’t fight! If you want to fight, go outside!”
The two nine-tailed foxes turned their heads to look at him, frightening little Ginseng into a hiccup.
Little Ginseng glanced at the his field of spiritual medicine in the courtyard with a sad expression on his face, and rushed into the house with his three little friends, even shutting the door for the two outside with great consideration.
Yan Xuanjing looked at Yan Gui who had been pushed to the ground, and didn’t want to get up.

Yan Gui’s tail swayed, lazily circling the still very faint moon essence. He met eyes with his own son, made an sound of acknowledgement, and said, “what are you doing?”
Tjc Wejcplcu kjr nfgs wfgmlifrr, “ktja jgf sbe vblcu tfgf?”
“Prc’a atlr yfmjerf P ilrafcfv ab sbe ktfc sbe rjlv atja Gl Wle tjv obiibkfv lc Gl Qe’r obbarafqr, rb P mjwf ab tjnf j ibbx.” Tjc Xel rqbxf ijhlis, klat j rilutais cjrji abcf ja atf fcv.

Yan Xuanjing’s face darkened, and he raised his leg and kicked.
Yan Gui rolled around in a circle and was still too lazy to get up. He raised his eyebrows and looked around the courtyard, then his eyes fell on Yan Xuanjing and said in a low tone, “You didn’t tell me that Di Xiu had a son.
Yan Xuanjing didn’t fall for his usual tricks, “you didn’t tell me about Di Xiu.”
“Oh, I didn’t?” Yan Gui remembered carefully and couldn’t remember if he said it or not, but he was never the one to take the blame, so he countered and accused, “You’re already a mature young man, why didn’t you go and check out the things you didn’t know!”
“……” Yan Xuanjing took in a deep breath, and felt that he shouldn’t haggle too much with his father at Lin Mu’s place, “you don’t care about the matter in the Great Wilderness?”
“I raised so many aids, if I have to do everything by myself, what do I need those guys for?” Yan Gui slowly climbed up, “okay, tell me what is going on.”
Yan Xuanjing briefly explained the information that this side had found.
Yan Gui clicked his tongue, and his expression was solemn.
“Di Xiu ran out on his own.” Yan Gui said.
After what happened to Di Wu, there was a struggle that lasted for over a hundred years to fight over the things Di Wu left behind, and many forces had to be restructured.
Meanwhile, the Land of Green Mountains, which had also participated in this competition, joined forces with several other major monster powers that had good relations with Di Wu and won back much of Di Wu’s power.
As a result, after settling matters in the Great Wilderness and preparing to go to the Central Plains to retrieve Di Wu’s soul and original body, they were stabbed in the back by some of their friends.
The result of being betrayed by friends was that not only was there nothing left of Di Wu, but they had been injured and their area of influence had been reduced.
Yan Gui and the others had no choice, and when they received word that a group of monsters who had tasted the sweetness of the Emperor’s Shelter were planning to lay their hands on other Sacred Trees similar to Di Wu, they had managed to protect some of them with great difficulty.
And this protection had lasted for thousands of years.
In those thousands of years, they had naturally wanted revenge, but they hadn’t seen a shadow of anything belonging to Di Wu. They even came to the Central Plains to look for it, but it was still useless.
“Even monsters who are very good at divination or dog-type monsters couldn’t find anything, and we don’t know what was used to suppress Di Wu this year.” Yan Gui said, then paused. “Di Xiu became a monster about 4000 years ago, and until thirty years ago, he was confined to this valley for thousands of years and didn’t go out.”
Normally, creatures with independent minds would find it difficult to accept such a thing, but Di Xiu accepted it.
He knew that the monsters wanted to protect him for his own sake, so he stayed in the valley for thousands of years, rarely talking about things outside the valley. But he always looked forward to and appreciated the books and snacks they brought.
To Yan Gui and the others, Di Xiu was a very, very obedient little brother, so obedient that they could not help but feel guilty.
So when Di Xiu suggested that he could see the world outside on his own, and they knew that humans with power in the Central Plains were weakening and even disappearing, some of the big monsters made a deal with Di Xiu to come back every 30 years, and just let him go.
The next step was to block the information and not bring it up.
“In the beginning, he would send us letters and some local specialities. Then the intervals became longer. We didn’t take it to heart, because it was normal for children to play around.”
Yan Gui said, then calculated the year and found out that in about three or four months it would be the time they had agreed to return.
Thirty years was not a long time for monsters, and if Di Xiu did not return by then, they would know that Di Xiu was in trouble.
Therefore, they never expected to receive such a clue half a year in advance.
Yan Gui remembered what his son had said about Di Wu, and linked it to the moon essence that his son said he had seen in that house before, and thought for a moment, “Look for Di Wu first.
Yan Xuanjing heard him say this and thought about what the old tortoise had told him earlier about Di Wu’s location.
He just gave out an address, directly showing that he wanted his father to get out of there quickly.
“Ah, what’s the hurry, Milky?” Yan Gui laid back down, the tip of his tail swaying leisurely. “Such an obvious clue is definitely a trick. Di Wu isn’t stupid, if you follow it, you won’t be able to find him.”
Yan Xuanjing looked at him and frowned, “you’re planning to stay?”
“I’ll stay here for a few days to check out the situation.” Yan Gui looked at Yan Xuanjing, caught the sound of a door opening and his ears shook, “and take care of my friend’s nephew at the same time.”
As if.
I think you came here to mooch off the sun and moon essence.
Yan Xuanjing looked at Yan Gui who rolled up and ran into the house with light footsteps. He mused for a bit then followed him in.
When Yan Xuanjing came in, Lin Mu was unpacking.
Lin Mu knew that his Milky wasn’t as big as a full-grown Samoyed, and that he still needed to grow.
To give the dog the perfect childhood, when Lin Mu found out that Milky did not like the few dolls that made sounds, he bought a bunch of new things.
A ball, a laser light, a frisbee, a little ring toss. He even bought a small set of slides that human children liked to play on.
If Milky didn’t want to play with them, he could give them to little Ginseng and the others to play with.
Lin Mu thought about it clearly, and after removing a pile of toys, he picked up a chew toy in the shape of a rugby ball and turned to look at his family’s Milky.
Milky had already eaten a big bowl of chicken breast, and was now lying on one side without any care for his image, and there was a lazy atmosphere surrounding him.
Lin Mu paused slightly, feeling that this was a bit wrong.
His family’s dog wasn’t like that. Milky was quiet and liked to be clean, and if he wanted to lie down, he would at least take the dog bed and find a place to lie down.
Other times, when he wasn’t lying on his stomach or sitting, his posture was still very careful and dignified, as if he carried a burden of having a good image.
He would rarely lie on his side.
Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the toy and shook it in front of Milky.
The dog looked at him lazily and showed no interest.
“……”
It was just like Milky not to be interested in toys.
“Milky, you have to digest your food after eating.” Lin Mu was very serious about training the dog and picked up the Frisbee and the dog lying on the floor and went out into the yard, “go and play”.
When Yan Gui was picked up, it took him some time to react. He turned to look at his son who was standing at the door with a shocked expression on his face.
Yan Xuanjing, who was often picked up by Lin Mu, and sometimes even had his whole fox picked up with the bed, had a blank look on his face, and even showed a little mocking expression.
Yan Gui: “……”
Okay then.
“Learn how to catch a Frisbee?” Lin Mu muttered.
His family’s Milky had quickly learned how to shake hands.
Yan Xuanjing leaned against the door and watched his father fall into dog toy hell. He couldn’t stop himself from thinking and actually felt like laughing a little.
Lin Mu was having a good time with his dog and his heart was very happy.
Yan Xuanjing stood in the yard and looked at his father, who wanted to laze around but was instead caught and had to play with a Frisbee, and his heart was very satisfied.
He blew the steaming ginseng tea in his hand and drank it slowly.
“Yan Xuanjing!” Lin Mu put away the toys and saw that Yan xuanjing was still there. He asked in an uncertain manner, “are you not leaving today?”
“En.” Yan Xuanjing gave a slight nod, “You have moon essence here.”
Lin Mu was slightly startled as this was the first time Yan Xuanjing had said he would stay.
Lin Mu had never asked Yan Xuanjing where he lived before, and he felt that a great monster would always have a place to live, so he had never considered the issue of Yan Xuanjing staying overnight.
If he stayed once, there would be a second time.
Lin Mu felt that he had taken a big step towards his dream of ‘waking up to a beauty every morning’.
He happily went to clean up the guest room, took a bath and carried the dog up the stairs, then prepared to rest.
As they all knew, the closer they were to a Relaxed Emperor, the more sun and moon essence they could get.
Yan Gui, who had been tossed around all night by his friend’s nephew, simply jumped onto the bed.
Lin Mu didn’t like turning on the air conditioner. He preferred to open the windows and doors for ventilation and turn on a small fan.
Yan Xuanjing walked past Lin Mu’s room and looked at Lin Mu sleeping all over the place with his shirt riding up to show his belly, then met his father’s eyes and showed another look of mockery.
Yan Gui sensed that something wasn’t right, he looked back at Lin Mu who had already fallen asleep and then looked at his own son. Just as he wanted to open his mouth, his buttock was suddenly kicked hard and he fell off the bed.
Yan Xuanjing stood at the door to Lin Mu’s room, looked at the fluff that rolled onto the ground, and pulled back his lips to make a sneer.
Impersonating me?
Ha.
Never expected, right?
The translator has this to add:
tfw your father barges into your love-nest.
HAHAHAHAH 🤣

Why is Lin Mu kicking everywhere? 😭😭 And I thought I slept badly
Thanks for the chapter!
