Chapter 2483

Er...

Xun Shuang smiled, shook her head, and said: "What's the point of lying to you? We're not ordinary people; could we possibly be nobles and rich people?"

Xiao Feng was also doubtful.

For the past ten years, Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang have lived exactly like ordinary people: making friends when they should, going to work when they should, even the little marital interactions at night while carrying the child are completely the same as ordinary people's, with no trace of immortal expert.

Moreover, their appearances gradually aged with time; although by the false age of 35 they are still relatively young, the faint wrinkles on their faces still show the traces of years.

What about this child feels off?

Xiao Fan looked at his mother and said: "Your demeanor is nothing like ordinary people's, although you pretend to be that way, but the habits in your bones cannot be fooled. I've observed you for a long time; Mom is like a fairy maiden, every frown and smile differs from ordinary people, surely you came down from heaven!"

Xun Shuang couldn't help but laugh: "You little brat, who flatters mom with such roundabout praise? Who taught you that?"

Xiao Feng gave a superficial hehe laugh, saying: "That's right, your mom is a fairy maiden from heaven, attracted by my handsome appearance, so she descended to the mortal world to marry me and give birth to you this little monster."

Inside, he was secretly helpless, never expecting that his son would have noticed the clue from their demeanor.

There's no helping it; although Xun Shuang regards herself as an ordinary person in every way, occasionally she unintentionally reveals a touch of fairy maiden's grace.

The son is exceptionally intelligent, and having himself comprehended the law of life evolution cultivation, he begins to doubt this world, which is perfectly reasonable.

Such a degree of doubt,

A certain amount of doubt; as long as you stubbornly deny it, you can just gloss it over.

The fundamental issue remains whether or not to let the child know.

Whether to speak or not, each has its advantages.

If they speak up, they can formally teach the child cultivation, giving him better conditions for practice.

If they don't speak, the child will explore on his own, and the path he finds will suit him better.

If he explores and finds a cultivation path by feeling his way across the river like crossing on stones, then he himself is the pioneer of that path, and at least in the future he will become a master of his generation.

Which is better, which is worse, cannot be concluded; perhaps time will prove it!

The question of whether Xun Shuang is a fairy maiden quickly passed, without digging deeper.

At night, Xiao Feng and Xun Shuang lay in bed, communicating via Divine Sense.

Xun Shuang sighed and said, "We seem to be unable to keep it hidden much longer."

Xiao Feng said, "Being able to hide it for a while is fine; anyway we have endless time, we can let the son try every way of growing. In this life let him first explore cultivation, see how far he can grow. If he goes astray, when his life is about to end, we can let him return to his juvenile form and start over."

"This… this isn't good for the child." Xun Shuang frowned.

Xiao Feng continued: "By then he won't be a child anymore. Silly wife, you should know: the more you know, the easier you are shackled by existing knowledge. We give the child no guidance; he relies on his imagination to cultivate—that is the best way to comprehend the law and the Dao. My cultivation has been slow these past few years because the Origin Book only records up to this realm; thereafter I must rely on my own exploration. With prior foundations, I find it hard to let go of imagination to open new fields—this is the limitation of learning from others' methods."

」

"Alright, I'll listen to you." Xun Shuang thought it over and felt his words made sense.

"Well, let's be an ordinary couple for another ten years; then in ten years we'll arrange a natural disaster, die together, and let the child cultivate on his own while we observe from the shadows," Xiao Feng said again.

"Ah? We have to leave the son so soon?" Xun Shuang felt reluctant upon hearing that.

The child is only ten; in ten years he'll still be only twenty.

Moreover, judging by his growth, at twenty he'll likely be about the same as a ten-year-old ordinary person.

To lose his parents so young is truly pitiful!

Xiao Feng said, "It's not that early anymore; now Xiao Fan understands everything, we can live well whether we're present or not. The longer we stay, the easier it is for him to notice something's off; better to let go early and let the child carve out his own sky."

"Well…"

Xun Shuang still felt reluctant.

But after thinking it over, she still felt letting go was better.

"Alright, then you arrange it." She said softly, leaning her head on Xiao Feng's shoulder.

"Mm."

Xiao Feng responded with an affirmative.

He immediately pulled the Fairy Maiden into his embrace and, via Divine Sense, said, "It's time to do what an ordinary couple should do."

Xun Shuang punched his chest: "This must be why you're hiding the truth, right?"

Hehe, you've seen through me.

Xiao Feng gave a wicked laugh, admitted it, and right away began to defile the Fairy Maiden.

Xun Shuang half-resisted, half-complied, while complaining, "We've been together ten years—how can you still be like this? Ordinary couples should gradually lose interest."

At the same time she occasionally moved to go along with him.

Xiao Feng laughed and said, "Meeting a fairy wife like you, I'm not impotent—how could I lose interest? Besides, Xun'er has made me hold back for over two thousand years; this is only ten

"Ten years is nowhere near enough to repay that! I will make every scene we simulated in the sea-of-consciousness illusion become real, so you can truly experience them all!"

"You really are…"

Xun Shuang was helpless, unable to speak further, showing a weak, hesitant resistance.

But rather than saying it's resistance, it's more like she's reluctant yet welcoming…

Half an hour later, Xiao Feng lay on the bed with a gloomy expression.

Xun Shuang lay on him, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers, lightly laughing as she sent via Divine Sense: "Regretting it? Ordinary people can only last half an hour at most~"

Xiao Feng replied fiercely: "The remaining three days and three nights I'll put on the tab; after we 'die' I'll pay it all back at once!"

Xun Shuang wasn't afraid of him, smiling charmingly: "By then I won't give you a chance—I'll go into seclusion to cultivate until I become as powerful as you, a Dao Ancestor."

Xiao Feng was momentarily speechless.

After a while he squeezed out: "Otherwise… occasionally use the time domain, turn half an hour into half a year. Anyway the son's cultivation is still low; he won't notice our tricks."

The Dao Ancestor Sister's methods are still quite usable; Xiao Feng felt this could work!

Xun Shuang panicked, quickly shaking her head: "Don't act recklessly—I don't agree."

"That's not up to you." Xiao Feng gave a hehe laugh and slept contentedly.

……

After a few more years, Xiao Fan became increasingly unlike a normal person.

At fourteen, Xiao Fan had never attended school for a single day, and he didn't even have a school record.

But he understood everything; his knowledge was profound and extensive, his studies extremely broad.

In terms of Li Ti, there also occurred a tremendous transformation; at fourteen years old he had the appearance of an eight- or nine-year-old. His genes had undergone a sublimation once, and the strength of his arms had already exceeded ten tonnes.

, reaching the realm of the initial form of superhuman life.

At fourteen, with no one's guidance, relying solely on instinct, feeling his way across the river by touching stones, he had come this far; this could no longer be called 'genius,' he was completely a monster!

Seeing his son so outstanding, Xiao Feng couldn't help but start discussing with his wife, 'Or...... let's die early.'

After waiting a few more years, as his son's strength grew ever stronger, they could even use genetic energy to heal and save people; they would find it hard to die even if they wanted to!
