The moonlight was bright, and the Dark Sun Lake at night had a slight coolness that didn't belong to the daytime.

Dong Chi nudged Nan Mo.

"Nanmo, wake up."

Nan Mo opened his eyes groggily, then his expression became excited.

Nanmo: Big brother, did Mother call me?

Dong Chi: "..."

Ever since Nanmo cleared up the misunderstanding between him and his mother, he has been in a state of great excitement.

Si Yan offered her her hand, and he would quickly take it.

When Si Yan offered him food, he took it as if someone was trying to snatch it from him.

If Si Yan wants a hug, Nan Mo will quickly hug her as soon as she makes a small movement.

He looked incredibly cheap and yet extremely happy and content.

Dong Chi helplessly rubbed his second brother's head and said, "No, Mother, look at that snake-beastman, our cheap father, look."

Nan Mo turned her head towards Si Yan and Wang in a daze; the two of them were sleeping in each other's arms.

Then, Nanmo said through gritted teeth: How annoying!

Dong Chi nodded: "Nan Mo, look, Mother won't hold us to sleep tonight."

Nan Mo felt a pang of jealousy and resentment: He was such a grown-up, why did his mother have to sleep with him?

Dong Chi: "Yeah! That scumbag dad is so annoying!"

Nanmo: I don't care!

Little Nanmo got up from his wooden bed, ran to Si Yan, carefully pulled Si Yan's hand away, and snuggled into Si Yan's arms to sleep.

Dong Chi: "..."

He acted very quickly.

He tossed and turned for a while, then looked at Wang, Si Yan, and Nan Mo, who were huddled together.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

He comforted Nanmo.

But now he has a younger brother who is competing with him for his mother's affections.

Finally, he jumped out of bed and ran to Si Yan's side.

Si Yan has Nan Mo in front of her and Wang behind her.

Having no other choice, he simply lay on top of her.

My mother smells so good.

Sleeping with Mom is so comfortable!

Si Yan was half asleep.

In my dream, the gecko lazily stretched its waist.

Si Yan casually found a place to sit down.

The gecko said, "Look how hard other people work to cultivate, while you cultivate so easily."

"Easy?" Si Yan chuckled insincerely. "You try it and see if it's easy to pester the Great Demon King every day."

The gecko chuckled.

Si Yan said, "You've been quiet for a while now."

Gecko: "I have no choice but to rest too. After all, my old bones and muscles are worn out. I need to rest more to recover."

Si Yan: "You can recover?"

"Of course you can."

The gecko said, "Grandson, there's something I just remembered, so I'll tell you about it."

"Yes, please go ahead."

The gecko chuckled and said, "Didn't you want the world's female lead's life?"

Si Yan smiled: "Didn't you want her dead too?"

The gecko lazily flapped its four claws: "Grandson, we have the same goal."

"You saved the Silver Wolf clan, but you also caught the attention of the False Heaven."

I must remind you, the female protagonist of the world is the center of fate in the fake heaven.

"Having stumbled over the Silver Wolf clan matter, Jia Tian will undoubtedly be more cautious in his next move. He will certainly strengthen the world's female protagonist's luck and power-ups to protect her and fight against you."

Si Yan: "...What is that?" The old man just used the word "cheat code"?

He knows a lot.

"Grandson, you've read the Heavenly Book. In the Heavenly Book, the female protagonist of the world is loved by many people, right? Many men listen to her, right?"

Si Yan nodded.

The gecko smirked: "Is it like casting a spell?"

"To cast a spell?"

"In this world, there are far more males than females, and the more males a female has, the more power she possesses. Therefore, the females in this world use all sorts of methods to secure contracts with high-ranking males."

"But the female protagonist of this world is different. She has the blessing of luck and the advantage of having cheat codes. She doesn't need to make many contributions. She can attract men. It's like being under a spell."

Si Yan: "..."

"After your outburst, I believe that Jia Tian will significantly enhance her abilities."

Si Yan frowned: "Then can I still kill her?"

The gecko chuckled: "Of course you can. Remember this: when you clash with her, every time you win, you'll transfer a bit of her luck. Once all her luck has been transferred to your adopted daughter, you can kill her."

...

In a grove of trees outside Dark Sun Lake.

There were no other tiger-beastmen around; only Jie Ling and Hu Que were in front of them.

The beast-shaped tiger carefully put Jie Ling down, and he squatted down, licking his paws.

The white fox girl, Jie Ling, stroked the fur on Hu Que's back.

Hu Que's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly softened, as if he felt so happy and comfortable being touched like that by Jie Ling.

Jie Ling said softly, "Brother Hu Que, you were so angry with me before. I know I was wrong. Have you forgiven me?"

The little female's voice trembled at the end, and the young male's heart seemed to tremble as well.

A voice kept reminding him from within the young man's ambition.

The Tiger Gate on the left: You love spirit exorcism, you love spirit exorcism. No matter what, you love spirit exorcism so much.

Tiger on the right shook his head: No, I don't like it!

Hu Que felt as if his mind was being torn apart by two conflicting emotions.

She had already decided in her heart that she would not associate with Jie Ling anymore, nor would she become her male partner.

But now, after Jie Ling says just one sentence to him, he feels so sorry for her and wants to forgive her?

Outside, the boy's expression softened. "When has Brother Huque ever blamed you?"
