With a crisp "click" sound, Su Yuxi followed behind a man with empty eyes and a blank expression.

They arrived at the monitoring room one after the other, and the scene before them was so shocking that they could hardly bear to look at it.

Throughout the room, screens of all sizes were densely covered with images of various cages, each cage imprisoning a fully formed fairy.

Upon closer inspection, none of these poor fairies were unharmed; most of them were covered in wounds and lay on the ground, barely alive.

Some were trapped in water dungeons, struggling in agony, while others were being injected with different drugs. The pain and torture they endured were beyond imagination.

Su Yuxi's face was as cold as frost. She suppressed her anger and refrained from killing the person in front of her: "Open all these cages for me."

"Yes," the man replied woodenly, completely devoid of self-awareness, doing whatever the person in front of him told him to do.

He numbly typed out a series of complex codes on the keyboard, then pressed the confirmation key heavily.

The video footage shows the combination locks on the cages being opened one after another.

With just a gentle push, they could escape the cage that had tormented them for decades.

Despite the imminent return of freedom, no demon dared to make a move. Their hearts were filled with fear and unease, fearing that it was just another trap or conspiracy set by humans.

Once they leave this cage, there will surely be countless ways to torture them.

Su Yuxi looked at their trembling figures and knew their worries.

She pressed the microphone broadcast button and announced to the fairy inside, "I'm very sorry, I'm late."

The fairy in the cage was stunned for a moment when it heard a strong and clear voice coming from above. All its eyes were focused on the stereo in the room, not understanding what the person inside meant.

Su Yuxi pursed her lips, her voice strained: "Please believe me, from this moment on, you will no longer have to endure this inhuman treatment."

"From now on, I will be responsible for your safety."

The moment the words fell, the entire space seemed to be shaken by an invisible force, and the Demon King's boundless demonic power quietly permeated every corner.

In an instant, bursts of long-suppressed cries erupted from within the cage. It was a catharsis before liberation, a cry for a new life, earth-shattering and soul-stirring.

They finally survived until someone came to rescue them, and they were finally able to escape the inhuman torture.

However, amidst the joy, there was also sorrow and resentment in their hearts, resenting why the Demon King could not have arrived sooner. If he had arrived earlier, perhaps their companions who had suffered together would not have lost their lives in vain.

"Ah! We're free, let's go..."

Immediately afterwards, the cell doors were kicked open, and they rushed out like wild horses. Their eyes were bloodshot, filled with anger and hatred. They showed no mercy to any humans they saw, grabbing anything they could and smashing it around them.

They were venting the pain and humiliation that had been building up in their hearts for years. These were the things that had tormented them to this point, and these things should not exist.

Instantly, the entire research institute descended into bloodshed and chaos, with piercing screams echoing throughout. Crimson blood stained every inch of the floor, and the once arrogant and domineering researchers were now in a panic, fleeing in all directions.

The protective facilities that were supposed to protect them had all failed, and their weapons were nowhere to be found. Without the support of these external forces, they were ultimately just ordinary people.

Faced with this group of ferocious and brutal demons, they were powerless to fight back and could only watch helplessly as those incredibly sharp claws mercilessly tore their bodies apart.

Perhaps they had expected this day to come, but they never imagined it would come so soon. Despite their reluctance to die, they could only close their eyes helplessly in the end.

Su Yuxi stood in front of the monitoring room for an hour, and only after confirming that there were no more fairies there did she start to leave.

At the entrance, Fu Huaijin stood tall and straight, holding the little girl in his arms. The two of them had been waiting impatiently, wanting to go in to find him many times, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they could only stop in their tracks and forcibly suppress their inner impulses.

The short hour felt like an eternity to them. Under their anxious gazes, a familiar figure slowly emerged from inside.

Fu Huaijin immediately strode forward and asked with concern, "Xixi..."

He called out, but before he could finish his sentence, the little girl interrupted impatiently, "Mommy, why are you so slow? I was almost falling asleep waiting."

Su Zhiyi stretched out her chubby little hands to get a hug, but her father wouldn't let her get down. She couldn't even go play, and she was so bored.

Su Yuxi smiled slightly, took the child from Fu Huaijin's hands, kissed Su Zhiyi's rosy cheek affectionately, and said softly, "Then next time you can stay at home and play with your brother."

Su Zhiyi snorted and pouted, "No, my brother won't play with me, so I don't want to stay at home."

Fu Huaijin rubbed her head, put his arm around Su Yuxi's shoulder, and pulled her into his arms. The three of them snuggled together tightly: "Then be a good girl and wait with Daddy on the side. Don't cause Mommy any trouble."

The little girl's face showed grievance and indignation, her tightly furrowed eyebrows seeming to drip water: "You're all bullying me."

"I want to go in next time too."

"No..." Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, carrying an undeniable determination.

"Waaah...you're bullying me again." The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, causing the two boys to smile slightly. They exchanged a glance and then walked out together...

...

That evening, the family of three boarded a plane back to China.

Little Zhiyi sat in a chair, swinging her legs, eating fruit, and watching cartoons on the TV screen. Suddenly, she asked, "Daddy, what kind of person is Great-Grandma?"

"Will she be like the Big Bad Wolf, always scolding people?"

The Big Bad Wolf was very fierce. Whenever she saw children, she would bare her teeth at them and drive them all away.

However, the wolf grandmother dared not chase her away, otherwise her father would go back and punish her.

But her father wasn't here, so when others bullied her, there was no one to stand up for her.

Fu Huaijin picked up a piece of watermelon and put it to Su Yuxi's lips, a slight smile playing on his lips: "No, Great-Grandma is very good. She likes children very much."

"I've also prepared a lot of gifts for you."

They've been waiting for this for a long time.
