"Thank you for all these years."

After Zhiyi left, only Li Shushu and Xiucai were left in the room.

When the scholar heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Was she coming here to say goodbye formally?

Although he had accepted his fate and quit a long time ago, he still felt heartbroken when he thought about her leaving his world completely.

"I don't belong to this world. Pingping and An'an should return to their normal lives." Li Shushu said in a low voice, "Perhaps my escape was a mistake."

"However, fortunately, when I came here on the first day of my life, you and Zhiyi kindly took me in." Li Shushu finally dared to look him in the eye.

Over the years, she has been avoiding him and has hardly even looked at his face, not daring to meet his eyes, but in her heart, she has long regarded them as family.

"Don't say that." Xiucai was still lying on the bed, the broken bones in his back preventing him from lying flat. "Rather than saying we took you in, it's better to say you helped us more."

"I'll leave the inn to you," she said. She owed him too much over the years. Although she knew he didn't value money and property, this was the only compensation she could give him.

"I don't want it. It's yours. You can either hire someone to take care of it, or sell it and take the money away." The scholar refused.

"The world we live in doesn't need the money here. It's useless for me to take it, but you and Zhiyi... maybe keeping the inn can be of some use to you."

"Okay." The scholar nodded simply.

"After I leave, find a good girl," she said. "You deserve a better life."

He was so gentle and although he had no martial arts skills, with his talent and ability, if he had not met her, perhaps his life would have been better.

"Okay." The scholar nodded, and his eyes finally became wet.

"Then... let's say goodbye." Li Shushu clasped his fists, "See you later. If there's a chance, I'll bring Ping Ping'an to visit you and Zhiyi again."

She suppressed the sob in her throat and turned around.

One day in the demon world is equal to one year in the mortal world. The life span of mortals is only a few dozen years. In the next few dozen days, she is not sure whether she will have the chance to come to the mortal world again.

Perhaps, even if he comes again, he will be too old to remember her?

In a blink of an eye, it has been several days since I returned to the Demon Realm.

Li Shushu took the Demon Lord to the spiritual spring to heal his wounds every day, and also actively searched for many healing holy medicines and spiritual treasures from heaven and earth, feeding them to him one by one.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, they did not let anyone know that Demon Lord Mingyan was injured, and only told outsiders that Demon Lord Mingyan was going to practice in seclusion for a period of time.

The environment in the demon world is very different from that in the mortal world, but surprisingly, they have adapted well and safely. Perhaps, they belong here.

Every day, led by the maids and palace servants, they happily played and frolicked around the Demon Palace.

Long Xiao also found the best magic instructors and teachers for them to teach them knowledge and skills.

Long Xiao was really convinced by his intuition. Thinking back to when the Demon Lord held the two children under his armpits, he somehow persuaded them to stop. Later, he treated them very well.

At that time, he had a vague premonition, or even expectation: these two children might be His Majesty's flesh and blood.

Unexpectedly, a random guess turned out to be true.

————

Ever since the magic doctor said that he should talk to the patient more and stimulate him to wake up quickly, Li Shushu began to do as he was told.

Whenever she and Ming Yan were the only ones left in the bedroom, she would always babble about the past.

She also talked about some topics that are difficult to talk about in normal times.

She said that she had no intention of betraying him, but he was too crazy and killed people at will. She was very afraid that one day he would be ruthless to her and kill her like he treated others.

She said that originally, they did not belong to the same world and were born in hostility.

She said that stealing the Time Cone was just a last resort to prevent the catastrophe in the six realms, but she never thought of offering the Time Cone to the heaven to seek credit.

She said that when he knew that the hairpin was his phoenix feather, he was actually touched, but why didn't he say it at the time?

"Fool." She couldn't help but scold him again.

The man on the bed moved his fingers imperceptibly.

The time cone in his arms had been activated at some point, and was continuously supplying spiritual power to the person with his eyes closed.

In fact, even if Li Shushu had offered the Time Cone to the heaven after stealing it, it would have been useless because the Time Cone had already recognized its master, and only the master could activate it.

But if the Heaven Realm knew that he had lost the Time Cone, perhaps they would be more unscrupulous in dealing with the Demon Realm.

"Besides, how could you miss me so much? It's really infuriating." She smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I was pregnant when I left the Demon Realm. After the birth of the baby went smoothly, they have been sleeping in the same bed with me. How could I be cheating on you?"

"Besides...", having seen the world before, I can never be impressed by the water. "Am I so short-sighted that I can be attracted to just anyone?"

"When you wake up, I will scold you severely." She threatened him viciously.

As she spoke, Ming Yan recalled her bedroom. As expected, there was no trace of a man. The reason why the step-out bed was bigger than that of an average person was probably because she had two children sleeping together!

Oh, it’s all my fault. When I got angry, my mind was completely lost.

"That's easy for me." Li Shushu continued to ramble, "Your two kids were scared to death the first time they met. You almost killed them. Why don't you think about how to comfort them after they wake up?"
