Chapter 569: Reverse Strategy 28

Their breathing became scorching in this intense deep kiss, lips and teeth entwined, thoughts in disarray.

During this period back at the Yaogong, Chenshu was raised extremely well by Jin Chen, with mountain delicacies and seafood prepared daily, and even his clothing was made of the finest silk satin.

Moreover, various rare treasures were offered by the monsters who wanted to present gifts.

He was already completely different from the dirty-faced child in the Chen family's backyard.

The only thing that remained unchanged was Jin Chen's eternal, daily affection.

His thoughts wandered a bit, then Chenshu was suddenly bitten at a vital spot; his fair skin flushed crimson, and a hint of allure spread to the corners of his eyes.

The water sounds were chaotic.

……

After their intimate moment, Chenshu leaned contentedly in Jin Chen's embrace, his whole person seeming drunk, pitiful yet endearing.

Jin Chen played with the person's fingers in his arms, saying, "The Slay Demon Sect now knows the sect leader is dead and is preparing to summon all sects to attack."

"However, in recent days the Slay Demon Sect has a person named Xuanmo who says he wants to visit me, and also says I will obtain what I desire."

Although it's not a major matter, he just wants to share with Chenshu what he's been busy with these days.

Chenshu narrowed his eyes, his brows slightly raised.

It's this Xuanmo again.

Besides himself, this person could also be considered a variable.

However, with his true soul present in this small world, the Heavenly Dao should not dare to create a reincarnator or something like a transmigrator.

Then what is the reason for this variable?

Amidst these thoughts, Chenshu couldn't help but develop a strong curiosity toward Xuanmo.

"Ah Chen might as well let him come; after all, the Slay Demon Sect can't stir up any waves right now."

Speaking of this, Jin Chen recalled another matter.

He gently stroked Chenshu's chin and told him what he had investigated.

"The spy embedded in the Slay Demon Sect reported that the sect's young master has recently taken a beauty, enjoying spring nights in a warm tent, and is also opposing the Chen Ning people who came seeking protection."

"According to their in-depth investigation, this person seems related to the deceased Chen Yu; you say, isn't that interesting?"

"Of course it's interesting; this is all my own planning."

Chenshu's thoughts turned slightly; he smiled and kissed him, saying, "So Ah Chen has also been watching over the Chen family's affairs for me."

This matter from start to finish was handled by Bai Ze, so he naturally wouldn't think this was Jin Chen testing him.

Jin Chen accepted the kiss and then said, "If that person really is the deceased Chen Yu, then there will be some turmoil inside the Slay Demon Sect; I estimate you won't need to act again."

"Exactly," Chenshu nodded in agreement, "I just need to stay with Jin Chen."

Anything else would not be enough to distract him from handling it.

With Chenshu's persuasion, Jin Chen finally agreed to Xuanmo's visit and even set up a banquet to receive him.

Since the day Langnian caused trouble, Jin Chen has not dared to let Chenshu wait for him inside the barrier; instead, he stays by his side at all times, even attending important meetings concerning the survival of the monster race.

Chenshu, on the other hand, is obedient; if he shouldn't hear something, he simply plugs his ears with two cotton balls, thus preventing the other monsters who originally opposed him from finding any fault.

As for Langnian.

He is seriously injured; Lang Er stubbornly grabbed several Yaogong healers to treat him, and the task Jin Chen assigned to him was completed mediocrely, not outstanding.

After several times, Jin Chen simply let him devote himself entirely to accompanying Langnian, reassigning all his original tasks to other monsters.

They all know that the Yao King is preparing to give up on the two brothers, Lang Er and Langnian.

As for this result, Da Hu is quite puzzled.

"It's just a picked-up younger brother, still a pure-blooded white-eyed wolf; why would Erlang go to such lengths for Langnian?"

"What are you muttering about?"

San Shi glanced at him sideways.

Two monsters were ordered to go outside the Yaogong to greet the visiting Xuanmo; otherwise, relying on himself to find the way, he would never locate the monster race's entrance in his next lifetime.

Da Hu quickly shook his head, "Nothing, I just can't understand why Erlang would go so far for Langnian, even daring to openly defy the Great King's command."

"His life was saved by the Great King; he has long since ingrained loyalty into his bones, so he simply cannot comprehend the reason."

He furtively glanced at the beautiful Lion beside him, thinking their relationship should have eased considerably; Da Hu leaned over and asked, "Third son, do you know why not?"

San Shi's steps paused slightly; through the sunlight filtering down and casting tree shadows in the forest, he asked him, "Do you really want to know?"

Under the blazing sun, his golden hair shone even more brilliantly, his pupils as clear as fine amber.

Da Hu stared, dazed for a good while before nodding, "Ah!"

In their youth, one tiger and one lion showed no noticeable difference.

But after taking human form, Da Hu became more imposing, his stature approaching two meters, handsome and full of manly vigor; if not for San Shi's restraint in his youth, he would have liked to grow a beard.

San Shi is younger; after taking human form, he has a handsome appearance, likely due to having been by Jin Chen's side since childhood, his outward coldness matching that of Jin Chen, his physique slighter than Da Hu's but his combat prowess not lacking in the slightest.

After so many years, the contrast has become even more pronounced.

San Shi stopped his steps, as if only explaining Erlang's matter, or as if using this matter to speak of something else.

"Erlang likes Langnian; because he likes it, he fears nothing, even if this feeling will not be acknowledged by the other party."

Da Hu: "…… ah?"

"But they are brothers… actually, yes, they have no blood relation, yet he has been raising Langnian from a near-dead wolf pup to the present since childhood!"

He still couldn't understand, even feeling the information overload was too great.

"Do you mind the brotherly relationship?"

San Shi asked again, his voice colder, with a slight tremor upon close listening.

"Ah… not really, just feels strange."

Da Hu clicked his tongue, feeling an indescribable strangeness.

They've relied on each other since childhood, sharing everything, even willing to die for each other—why can't they be lovers?

Big Tiger was a bit thrown off by the question, sensing vaguely that this remark wasn't about the two Second Wolves, and they hadn't even grown up together.

He pondered and replied, "Um… because Wolf Nian likes the Great King, they can't be lovers."

The Three Lions blinked, then suddenly asked, "And you?" Do you also have a demon or person you like?

"Huh? Me?" Big Tiger's eyes widened. "I don't like the Great King at all! Don't spread rumors!"

"... Forget it."

The Three Lions seemed to deflate, gave him a deep glance, then continued walking ahead, muttering, "Idiot."

Big Tiger, baffled by the scolding:??

How did he end up offending this ancestor?

He sighed and followed after them.

Since many years ago, on that night when he made wishes for all the demons at the lotus pond in the demon palace, the Three Lions' temper grew more twisted than before, and he even volunteered to switch posts, which is how the Second Wolves became his partner.

But he couldn't recall anything from that night, making it impossible to verify what actually happened.
