Jiang Si immediately deactivated her invisibility, not even glancing at the sword pointed at her stomach, and asked Jiang Jiang with a smile, "Isn't it better to be alive? Why do you have to court death?"

Jiang Jiang's innocent smile froze, her grip on the sword tightened, and she pushed the tip of the sword forward again: "Mom, I don't want to die, I want to live, but I don't want to live like this."

He hated that even after more than 3,000 years, he was still the height of a five, six, seven, or eight-year-old child, forever looking like a child who would never grow up.

Jiang Si suddenly realized: "So you wanted to grow up. To grow up, you went to any lengths, even destroying your father's energy storage, so that your father couldn't come to pick me up in time?"

Jiang Jiang admitted, "Yes, I destroyed Dad's energy tank. I originally wanted to go to you in a small ship, but Dad didn't use the ship. He quickly bought energy, replenished the energy, and repaired the energy tank."

Hearing him say that, Jiang Si nodded: "Your father and I boarded this ship. Did you tell the little chick to come and catch us in the act?"

"Yes!" Jiangjiang's voice was clear and childlike, yet it was mixed with a gloom that didn't match her appearance: "Since Mom has asked to this extent, I won't hide it from her."

"I wanted to use that little chick to make Mom and Dad break up, but unfortunately the little chick didn't work. Dad just coaxed him back with a few sweet words!"

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow and clicked her tongue, saying, "Your father coaxed him back with just a few words, and you couldn't hold back. Jiang Jiang, you've really disappointed me."

Jiang Jiang's face contorted in an instant: "I've disappointed you. You never had any hope for me. I'm your child. I'm the child that Shu Xubai bred using your genes. Why won't you acknowledge me? Why won't you recognize me?"

"You would do anything to escape and protect the child in your womb. I am no different from them. Why do you love them but not me?"

"You're no different from them?" Jiang Si chuckled. "Little zombie, you're very different from them."

Jiang Jiang's eyes flashed fiercely: "What's the difference?"

Jiang Si smiled at him and flicked her finger on the tip of the sword.

A snap.

The sharp sword tip was flicked away by Jiang Si and fell to the ground.

Jiang Jiang's expression changed drastically.

Jiang Si kicked the broken sword tip, sending it flying straight at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang focused her mental energy, swung her sword, and slashed at the tip.

The sword tip carried powerful spiritual energy, directly forcing his sword back, slicing his cheek, and embedding itself entirely in the ship's wall behind him.

Fear appeared in Jiangjiang's eyes.

Jiang Si stepped forward, approaching Jiang Jiang. Her body was filled with powerful and boundless spiritual energy, letting Jiang Jiang know what a world of difference it was, and what it meant for her to crush a person as easily as crushing an ant.

Jiang Jiang was forced to retreat repeatedly until her body was pressed against the wall, with nowhere left to go.

Jiang Si stopped, glanced at him, and sneered, "Little zombie, you said you have half of my genes, that you are my child, no different from the child in my belly."

"You're wrong. They won't point swords at me, but they will. That's the biggest difference between you and them, understand?"

Jiangjiang pressed her body tightly against the wall, her fingernails starting to grow, and she tried to raise her head, attempting to make herself look taller: "Mom, I don't want to point a sword at you either, but you forced me to. You know I need to grow up, I want to grow up, and you not only don't help me, but you also suppress me!"

Jiang Si opened her mouth and said, "There must be a reason why you're not allowed to grow up..."

Jiang Jiang interrupted her and growled at her, "What do you mean there's a reason why I can't grow up? Isn't this because of your own selfish desires? You want me to stay with Dad forever?"

"Why should I stay with him forever? You and he are mortal enemies, you love and hate each other. You can't bear to see him all alone, so why should I stay with him?"

"Just because I was bred by him, just because I have your genes, you won't let me grow up, you restrict my growth, you want me to stay with him, to stay with him forever, why should I?"

Hearing his numerous questions, Jiang Si chuckled and said, "Little zombie, you really don't know what's good for you."

Jiangjiang spat and said, "Mom, I don't think it's that I don't appreciate kindness. It's that you're afraid I'll grow up with a face that looks just like yours and steal all of Dad's love, leaving you with nothing!"

Ginger shreds: "!!!!"

What kind of crazy person is this?

The more they talk, the more absurd it becomes.

Whoever wants a vampire's love can take it away.

She doesn't care.

That brat is really unlikable.

Jiang Si exhaled a breath of stale air, put one hand on her stomach, and raised the other hand to slap Jiang Jiang across the face: "You're not that old, but your mouth stinks."

A snap.

Jiang Jiang's face was knocked to the side, and blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth.

Like a madman, he stuck out his tongue and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Mom, I've spoken to your heart, are you angry and ashamed?"

Jiang Si flicked her hand, turned to the side, and said to Shu Xubai, who was hurrying towards her, "Old Bai, control your damn son!"

Shu Xubai came alone. He walked over and, without saying a word, reached out and grabbed Jiang Jiang by the neck, lifting him up: "Beware of thieves, beware of thieves, it's hard to guard against thieves in your own home. Little Jiang Jiang, you've surprised me."

Jiang Jiang's legs were dangling in the air, her face turning pale instantly. She reached out to pry Shu Xubai's hand off her neck: "Daddy, Daddy, I can't breathe, Daddy..."

Shu Xubai ignored his shouts, glanced at Jiang Si, and walked away.

Jiang Si followed him stealthily.

Shu Xubai carried Jiang Jiang into a room, threw him inside, and closed the door.

Jiang Si also came in, sat down on the sofa in the room, pushed off with her feet, and the sofa under her bottom moved to the front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Jiang Si leaned back on the sofa, arms crossed, watching as Shu Xubai kicked Jiang Jiang in the stomach without any politeness, sending Jiang Jiang flying and landing on the ground.

Over and over again, Jiang Jiang, who was originally dressed in overalls, a little suit, and a little bow tie looking pretty, suddenly looked like a beggar.

Her nose was bleeding, her mouth was bleeding, her face was covered in blood, her hair was a mess, and her clothes were torn. She looked nothing like a pretty girl anymore.

Seeing that Shu Xubai had stopped, Jiang Si said coolly, "Old Bai, I told you long ago not to cultivate people casually, but you insisted on doing it. This time you came to pick me up and the energy warehouse was damaged, that was his doing."

Upon hearing this, Shu Xubai launched another round of one-sided beatings at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy. After being beaten to the point of near death, Shu Xubai squatted in front of him and grabbed him, saying, "Jiang Jiang, have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Jiangjiang's face was covered in blood, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were bloodshot: "I haven't forgotten what Dad told me. I just want to grow up. Why won't Dad and Mom grant my wish?"

He didn't want to be bad; he wanted to be a good person.

But they wouldn't let him be a good person; they restricted his growth and suppressed him, one by one.

He had no choice but to be bad, he simply had to be bad!

Shu Xubai laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said, "I'll grant your wish, you can live your whole life..."

Jiang Si interrupted Shu Xubai: "Old Bai, if he wants to grow up, then let him have that wish!"

Shu Xubai suddenly turned his head, his sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Si: "Do you know what you're saying?"

Jiang Si raised her left hand and gently stroked it across her right wrist: "Of course I know what I'm saying, Jiang Jiang. Don't you want to grow up? Come here, I'll make you grow up."

Fresh blood flowed from Jiang Si's right wrist.

The strong smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of herbs made Jiang Jiang's pupils constrict. She used both hands and feet to break free from Shu Xubai and crawled towards Jiang Si, opening her mouth to catch the blood flowing from her wrist.

Shu Xubai stood up, his face ashen, his eyes fixed on Jiang Si.

Fresh blood gushed from Jiang Si's wrist and flowed into Jiang Jiang's mouth.

As Jiangjiang drank her blood, her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

A moment later, his body began to change.

Seeing his body begin to change, Jiang Si wiped the wound with her left finger, stopping the bleeding. Then she took out a spray from her spatial storage.

She originally intended to spray it on her wrist, but then she remembered that she was pregnant with twins and didn't know if the spray would have any side effects, so she didn't spray it and instead tore off a piece of willow and wrapped it around her wrist.

Jiang Dandan rolled onto her wrist like a little bug, rubbed against it vigorously, and then stuck to her wrist without moving.

Jiang Si put her hands on her lap and looked at Jiang Jiang.

Jiangjiang's body made a sound as it began to grow taller.

Originally, the body was that of a five or six-year-old, but it grew to seven or eight, and then grew to ten years older.

When they were around ten years old, they quickly grew to eighteen or nineteen.

He looked exactly like Jiang Si when he was eighteen or nineteen.

He looked at his reflection in the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes filled with surprise. He looked at his hands, his feet, and reached out to touch his face. Even though his clothes were gone, he didn't care.

He thought he wouldn't grow any older, that he would just grow to the age of eighteen or nineteen.

But he didn't expect that after pausing for five or six minutes with this appearance, he would start to grow rapidly like grass in spring.

From looking like he was eighteen or nineteen to twenty-eight or twenty-nine, from twenty-eight or twenty-nine to thirty-eight or thirty-nine, he looked at his reflection in the French windows, his appearance and body changing, and he panicked: "Stop, stop, stop, stop..."

His body's growth didn't listen to him at all; it continued to grow rapidly. By fifty-six or fifty-seven, eighty-six or eighty-seven... wrinkles appeared on his face, his hair began to turn white, and it started to fall out.

Jiangjiang grabbed a handful of her fallen hair and threw it heavily to the ground. Her eyes filled with fear and dread, she begged Jiangsi for mercy: "Mom, I was wrong. I don't want to grow old. I don't want to grow old. Please, please save me, save me!"

"Save you?" Shu Xubai kicked him. "My good son, this is the growing up you've always dreamed of, why should I save you?"

Jiang Jiang was kicked and rolled twice before stopping. Her body was still aging; all the hair on her head had fallen out, leaving her bald. Her hands and feet had become clumsy, and she struggled to crawl over, grabbing Shu Xubai's feet. "Daddy, Daddy, save me! Daddy, save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"

"Mom, I don't want to grow up, I don't want to grow up, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

Jiang Jiang is already very old and frail. She is bald, her face is full of wrinkles, she is thin as a rake, and her skin is stuck to her bones like tree bark, with age spots all over her face.

Jiang Si sat on the sofa, her eyelids slightly lowered, and sneered: "Those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences. I told you there are reasons why you're not allowed to grow up, but you wouldn't believe me. Do you believe me now?"

Jiangjiang cried and cried out, her eyes filled with regret: "I believed... I believed... Mom, I believed, please Mom save me, save me... save me!"

He doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to die.

He's lived for over 3,000 years, and he still hasn't lived enough.

"Jiang Jiang, it's too late!" Shu Xubai looked at the frail Jiang Jiang as if she were a dead object: "What do you think I was afraid of when I restricted your growth?"

"Naive. I just didn't want you to die, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful. Not only did you stab me in the back, but you also stabbed Jiang Si in the back. Don't you know she's mine?"

Ginger shreds: "!!!!"

Teenagers with delusions of grandeur have a lot of fun.

Saying things that could be misunderstood.

Thank goodness Little Phoenix isn't here, otherwise she'd be incredibly jealous.

Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"

Aquaman's classic quote: "Anyone can be kept in the pond, and can shamelessly claim that she is mine."

I've learned it! I've learned it! I've learned it!

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Jiangjiang lay on the ground, feeling her life and strength slipping away. "Dad, Mom, I was wrong, I was really wrong... I never want to grow up again, I never want to grow up again, please, please save me, save me."

"It's hopeless!" Jiang Si's words shattered his hopes. She said coldly, "Jiang Jiang, do you think that more than 3,000 years ago, Lao Bai and I spent decades in the laboratory without being killed and were able to survive the destruction of the world?"

"You don't know? Then let me tell you, it's because the two of us are irreplaceable. No one, nothing, no clone, no breeding can replace us."

"So, we suffered terribly in the lab, but they couldn't bear to kill us. Instead, they desperately fused other genes into us and injected other viruses into us!"

Jiang Jiang was struck dumb, his cloudy eyes filled with fear and apprehension. He didn't know anything. He only knew that he was created by his father. His father missed his mother and used the genetic fragments his mother had kept in the laboratory to create him. He even said that he looked like his mother when she was a child.

Jiang Si slid off the sofa, grabbed Jiang Jiang by the neck, and lifted his upper body up: "Jiang Jiang, I told you before, your father raised you, so you should stay with your father and accompany him, so that you can live a long and peaceful life."

"But you refuse to believe me. You want to grow up, to become like me, to have the same mental and physical strength as me, to replace me. What kind of daydream are you having?"

“More than 3,000 years ago, I spent decades in the laboratory. All those madmen in the laboratory were smarter and more capable than you, yet they couldn’t cultivate an exact replica to replace me. You’re here overestimating yourself and trying to break a rock with an egg?”

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shu Xubai kicked Jiang Si's shin with his toe: "Villains die from talking too much. You talk too much. Let go of him now, or he'll dirty your hands when he dies."

Jiang Si rolled her eyes at Shu Xubai and let go, but Jiang Jiang grabbed her hand as if it were the last straw. With her face full of wrinkles and spots, she urgently threatened, "Mom, save me! If you don't save me, you'll never see your daughter Jiang Tang again!"
