Xiao Bai shook his head. “No,” he said. He was a little confused by Yang Mu’s attitude and didn’t understand why Yang Mu was so nervous.
Yang Mu breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xiao Bai’s head. “Don’t tell others that I’m your father, and don’t call me daddy.”
“Why?” Xiao Bai felt a little aggrieved. Why couldn’t he even call him daddy? Although he knew there must be a reason why Yang Mu told him not to, he couldn’t help feeling a bit sad.
Yang Mu patted Xiao Bai’s head again. He actually felt a little sorry for him. Since Xiao Bai was young, he had never taken on the responsibility of being a father. Now he couldn’t even let Xiao Bai call him daddy outside.
But there was nothing he could do. He was a human, giving birth to a beastman, which was unheard of. When he was in Xianling Sect before, he could still disguise Xiao Bai as a human child. But here?
As a father, he instinctively worried whether the beastmen could protect Xiao Bai well.
After all, once it was known that Xiao Bai was born to a human and a beastman, how many humans would harbor greedy intentions towards him?
How many humans would want to take Xiao Bai’s body for research? And then try to crossbreed humans with the beastmen to produce more beastman for their own use?
Moreover, if Shi Dixuan knew that after he had taken advantage of him, he had also given birth to a child for him, it would really hurt his pride as a man.
Anyway… in this life, he could be considered a disciple of Shi Dixuan.
Feeling Yang Mu gently stroking his head and seeing Yang Mu standing in front of him with a worried look in his eyes, Xiao Bai gritted his teeth and nodded. “Hmm, I understand.”
Yang Mu was taken aback. Xiao Bai had always been a well-behaved, understanding, and empathetic child. Although he grew extremely fast, transforming from a small bun into a teenage form, his mind was very mature.
This made Yang Mu feel even more guilty.
He glanced at Xiao Huang beside him, who was eagerly watching him and Xiao Bai, and waved to it. Xiao Huang happily bounced over, and Yang Mu patted its head.
There were some cheesy words he couldn’t bring himself to say. He could only express his guilt through repeated physical gestures.
“Yang Mu, why are they trying to capture us?” Xiao Huang asked innocently. Although the beastmen had instilled many of Yang Mu’s so-called “cruel” deeds into Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang hadn’t taken any of it seriously.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Yang Mu was stunned by Xiao Huang’s direct question. He opened his mouth, but like the previous Shi Dixuan, he was at a loss for words… He didn’t know how to explain this issue to Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai.

Xiao Huang didn’t pursue the matter further, and Yang Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Bai looked at Yang Mu, his brows furrowed, feeling hesitant. He had always wanted to ask Yang Mu a question, that is… who his mother really was, but he had never asked.
Should he speak up this time and ask this question?
Just as Xiao Bai hesitated, Shi Dixuan walked in.
Without asking if the three of them had answered well, he directly took Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang away.
Caught off guard, Xiao Bai and Xiao Huang were seized by Shi Dixuan. The two slender young boys were each lifted out of the room by Shi Dixuan.
This time, Xiao Bai didn’t struggle or make a sound. He knew that no matter how he struggled, it would be futile. He looked at Yang Mu’s figure standing in the room, silently clenched his fists, ‘Dad, wait for me. I will definitely bring you and Xiao Huang out of here.’
Yang Mu watched as the three of them left the room, and the only feeling in his heart was surprisingly – it’s been a long time since he had seen Shi Dixuan, he had actually become so tall. The slender and slightly weak boy from before was no longer there… The eyes of that boy from before still showed some emotions, unlike the current man whose eyes were always calm and unwavering.
Shi Dixuan took Xiao Huang into the room next door. He had considered it before while he was outside the room. Xiao Huang could be taught by Xiao Hei and the other beastmen. As for Xiao Bai, he was extremely talented and for some reason, he particularly liked this little one. Although this little beastman often defied his wishes, it would be excellent to cultivate Xiao Bai as a successor.
As the leader, one had to be strong and fearless of any difficulties, even if the person standing in front was ten times stronger than oneself, one should not be afraid.
Moreover… he might not have his own child, he did not have the intention of finding a partner. Although the beastmen around him, including Xiao Hei, often intentionally or unintentionally brought some already transformed beast girls in front of him to admire, the beast girls were graceful and had a bit more wild beauty in temperament than humans, but he still felt nothing.
If he had to find a partner, Shi Dixuan lowered his eyes, and suddenly, Yang Mu’s face flashed through his mind. Shi Dixuan frowned, why did he think of that human?
For this kind of deceitful human, what he wanted to do was to torture him well.
Shi Dixuan walked slowly on the road while carrying Xiao Bai.
Throughout, he had never explored why he had an unwillingness deep in his heart to kill Yang Mu.
—
Time quickly passed, and Yang Mu had been confined to a small room. During this time, Shi Dixuan did not come to see Yang Mu, and Yang Mu did not see Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai again.
Three meals a day were delivered by the beastmen, although their attitude was not very good, the quality of the food was not too bad. Yang Mu was not afraid that they would poison the food, after all, although their attitude towards him was a bit bad, it was clear that they were not malicious.
And every day before eating, he would carefully inspect the food.
If the one who brought him food was the one who killed him in his previous life, then he would have reason to worry.
Yang Mu spent his days in the room practicing, sleeping, and eating, which was much more comfortable than his time at the Xianling Sect.
After all, Shi Dixuan, whom he had been worrying about, had already captured him, and he was prepared to meet Yama at any time, so naturally, he was much more relaxed than before.
During this period, his cultivation base had also made great progress.
Yang Mu’s days were comfortable, but Xiao Huang and Xiao Bai’s days were somewhat bitter.
Xiao Huang lived in the room next to Yang Mu’s, and his room was not locked. He could come and go as he pleased. However, he could not come to see Yang Mu. Every time he was about to leave his room and run towards Yang Mu’s room, several beastmen would suddenly appear to stop him, and then without a word, they would start attacking him.
His cultivation level, while not too low, was still several levels lower than them, so he was always in a stage of being beaten.
After being beaten up, he would be picked up and taken to another place to receive “ideological education” from another group of beastmen.
After some time, Xiao Huang’s cultivation had improved quite a bit, and his skin and calluses had thickened several layers.
Now he was unwilling to go out. He would hide in his small room all day, waiting for other beastmen to deliver food. He was bored to the point of going crazy and didn’t dare to go out.
Being beaten was one thing, but he really couldn’t stand the “ideological education” from those beastmen anymore.
Xiao Bai was a bit better off than Xiao Huang. He also got beaten every day, but only by Shi Dixuan. Shi Dixuan was measured in his actions and didn’t use excessive force. Each time, he would stop at a certain point and let Xiao Bai comprehend the techniques on his own.
Xiao Bai didn’t have to listen to anyone nagging at him like Xiao Huang did.
Over this period, his cultivation had vaguely reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
Such a speed of cultivation improvement was simply unimaginable for the beastmen.
Shi Dixuan had only seen this kind of growth rate on himself, so he was more satisfied with Xiao Bai and more determined to cultivate him as his successor.
Yang Mu was completely unaware of the situation of his two young ones.
One day…
He went about his morning routine as usual: getting up, practicing, and eating the food they’ve brought. After the beastman who brought the food left, the door remained open. Yang Mu looked at the open door and watched as the beastman walked out without looking back.
His mind stalled for a moment, and he suddenly shouted, “Hey, friend, you forgot to lock the door.” After shouting, Yang Mu immediately regretted it.
The beastman heard Yang Mu’s shout, turned around, gave him a disdainful look, and then snorted before reluctantly saying, “It’s the king’s order to open the door to your room.” After speaking, he turned around again and continued walking.
This time, no matter how Yang Mu shouted, the beastman didn’t stop or look back.
Yang Mu sat in his room, feeling puzzled.
Shi Dixuan’s… order?
Could it be a trick?
Would he be torn apart by the beastmen as soon as he walked out?
Or did Shi Dixuan have another plan to deal with him?
Yang Mu it’s not good to just wait around to dieeeee
The lack of curiosity? Or just interest? The passive waiting is frustrating
Go and confront your man already 🔥
I feel pity for Xiao Bai…
Ikr. Why can’t they just have a proper conversation argh! (⚲□⚲)
I feel like going crazy because of them! (๑･`▱´･๑)
Thank You for the new chapter ♡⃛*⁎⋆(꒡ᵋ ꒡ღ)
Shi Dixuan looking at Xiao Bai like he’s a tool he can use 🤢Turns out SDX isn’t so different from the cultivators he hates…
If this drags on for too much longer I’m going to lose my mind
