He stared at Yu Chen intently, and saw a golden divine pattern faintly appearing between the baby's eyebrows, which disappeared in an instant.
"This is……"
Qingtian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Chenchen, my good grandson!"
His eyes flashed with greed and excitement, his voice was hoarse and fanatical——
"You are..."
"The reincarnation of the God of War?!"
The Demon Lord Qingtian stared at Yu Chen, his eyes flashing with fanatical greed.
"My dear grandson, the power of the God of War in your body is the key for me to break the seal!"
He gathered the black and red devil energy at his fingertips and probed towards Yu Chen's brow again.
"Buzz!"
A golden light suddenly burst out from Yu Chen's body, splitting the evil spirit like a sharp sword!
"Tsk, it's still too small..." Qingtian narrowed his red eyes, "This amount of spiritual power is not enough."
He was about to try again when his expression suddenly changed and he turned his head sharply to look at the palace door.
"Xuan Lang, go in quickly! The children are in danger!"
Sheng Xiyan's voice came from outside the hall, and then the hall door was suddenly pushed open!
Xuan Ling rushed in carrying Sheng Xiyan on his back. The two of them saw the swirling black and red demonic energy at a glance. Their faces changed drastically and they ran straight to the crib!
"Children!"
Sheng Xiyan jumped off Xuan Ling's back and rushed to the crib. Seeing that the three children were safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes sharp as a knife, and a ball of black and red devil flame instantly condensed in her palm, fiercely blasting towards the devil energy -
"What the hell?! You dare to harm my child? I won't forgive you!"
The moment the demonic flame exploded, a deep, wild laugh suddenly rang out from the hall—
"Hahaha! My dear daughter, we meet again!"
The black and red mist suddenly condensed and transformed into a tall, handsome man.
He was wearing a black robe embroidered with gold, his fox eyes slightly raised, with a wicked smile on the corner of his lips, and he reached out to touch Sheng Xiyan's face——
"Don't touch me!" Sheng Xiyan stepped back suddenly and shouted coldly, "Who knows what kind of dirty thing you are!"
——But she had already guessed in her heart that the person in front of her was her father in her previous life, the Demon Lord Qingtian!
Instead of being annoyed, Qingtian smiled, with an indescribable kindness in his eyes: "My dear daughter, the name that old Xuanxi gave you is Yanyan? Not bad at all."
He suddenly changed the subject, his voice bewitching—
"Yan Yan, kill this bastard emperor, and you and your three children will inherit this vast kingdom... Kill him, and you can become a god!"
Sheng Xiyan stood in front of Xuan Ling and sneered, "Oh? Why can I become a god if I kill him?"
Qingtian chuckled softly, "Because you are my daughter, you already have the body of a god or demon! Kill him, and you will be able to successfully overcome the tribulation and return to your divine position."
"Nonsense!" Sheng Xiyan interrupted harshly, "Don't think I don't know! You were sealed in the Abyss by the Emperor, and Xuanlang is the Emperor's reincarnation. If I kill him, you can break free from the seal, right?!"
Qingtian laughed loudly, his eyes full of admiration: "As expected of my daughter, you are indeed smart!"
His tone suddenly became low, with a hint of bewitching tenderness—
"But don't you want to save your father? Didn't old Xuanxi teach you... the word filial piety?"
Sheng Xiyan's eyes were firm: "You were sealed because of your many evil deeds. If I help you, I will be aiding and abetting the evil!"
Qingtian shook his head and sighed, "You've been taught by Xuanxi to be pedantic! Immortals and demons, there's no distinction between good and evil, it's just a matter of different perspectives."
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and the demonic energy condensed in his palm into a vortex leading to the demon world.
"My dear daughter, you are a princess of the demon clan. Why do you need to stay in the human world? Take the children back to the demon world. You will be the queen of the demon world, on par with the emperor of heaven... Wouldn't that be more majestic?"
Xuan Ling stepped forward, protecting Sheng Xiyan behind him, and said coldly: "Demon Lord, there is no need to tempt her. Yanyan will not go with you!"
Killing intent suddenly flashed in Qingtian's eyes: "Good son-in-law, I will kill you myself!"
He swung his sleeves violently, and a stream of black and red demonic energy slashed towards Xuan Ling like a sharp blade!
"Xuan Lang!"
Sheng Xiyan hurriedly urged his magic power to resist, but was repelled several steps by the evil spirit! Seeing that the evil spirit was about to hit Xuan Ling——
"boom!"
A silver-white divine light suddenly burst out from Xuan Ling's body, shattering all of Qingtian's demonic energy!
Qingtian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in astonishment: "You...Xuanxi?! Your soul has returned to its place?!"
Xuan Ling was surrounded by divine light, his eyes were as deep as the abyss, and even his voice became low and majestic.
"Qingtian, not long ago, by chance, half of my soul returned to its place, and now I have a complete godhead."
Sheng Xiyan stared at him blankly, and in a trance, she seemed to see the cold and noble Emperor Xuanxi in the Ninth Heaven...
——Could it be that when Lingling left that day, she returned the half of the Emperor's soul hidden in her body... to Xuanling?
Qingtian laughed wildly, and his figure gradually turned into black mist and dissipated—
"Daughter and son-in-law, please take good care of my good grandson...hahaha!"
Qingtian looked back at Yuchen who was sleeping soundly and said, Chenchen, when you grow up a little, your grandfather will come back.
The evil spirit dissipated, and the divine light around Xuan Ling also subsided.
Sheng Xiyan was still held in his arms, and she couldn't help but look up at him, her eyes full of inquiry -
"Are you... the Emperor, or Xuan Lang?"
Xuan Ling lowered his eyes to look at her, a smile suddenly appeared on his thin lips, and without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her!
“Hmm…”
Sheng Xiyan was pushed against the wall by him, and her breathing became increasingly disordered as their breaths intertwined.
Xuan Ling didn't let her go until her legs were too weak to stand, and asked with a low smile -
"Yanyan, do you know who I am now?"
Sheng Xiyan's cheeks flushed, and she panted and asked, "Do you still remember what happened just now?"
