Qianyuan held Zhou Zeyuan tightly, urging him to persevere.
The little guy's tears fell in a steady stream onto Zhou Zeyuan's face, as if he were venting the pain that Zhou Zeyuan had been holding back.
Even now, Zhou Zeyuan doesn't cry or shout. He just keeps his eyes down, his body stiff, enduring the excruciating pain time and time again.
Qian Yuan reached out and took Zhou Zeyuan's hand, repeatedly using her spiritual power to cleanse Zhou Zeyuan's spiritual root.
This will alleviate some of Zhou Zeyuan's pain, but it will also be a great test for Qian Yuan.
The spiritual energy he probes in will suffer the same pain as Zhou Zeyuan.
Moreover, since the little guy doesn't know any magic at all yet, nor can he control his spiritual power at will, he uses his innate spiritual power, which is supported by his soul.
Qian Yuan endured even more torment for Zhou Zeyuan's sake.
But it didn't hurt that much...
The little guy comforted himself.
It was slightly worse than the pain he had ever feared most.
After all, he is neither afraid nor desperate now.
He can definitely save Zhou Zeyuan.
Amidst endless torment, Zhou Zeyuan vaguely glimpsed memories of the future.
He also saw Qianyuan with her head touching his, sharing his pain.
Qianyuan must be the one he can never part with...
Zhou Zeyuan's demonic bloodline fully awakened. He immediately knocked Qian Yuan unconscious to prevent his demonic energy from accidentally harming him. Then he carefully placed the little guy in his arms.
After settling the little guy in, he carefully looked through all his memories from the past, present, and future.
This is an innate talent of his demonic branch. No matter when he is, he can return to his peak state through his memories. Once his bloodline is awakened, they will be invincible forever.
And Zhou Zeyuan, the future ruler of the demon race, has also fully recovered.
In an instant, he grew taller, transforming from a child into a mature man, his figure extremely imposing, exuding a dark and oppressive aura.
He lowered his head, glanced at the boy in his arms who looked even smaller and more pitiful, and reached out to touch Qianyuan's face.
"It's not the right time yet..."
As Zhou Zeyuan murmured this, he finally and reluctantly transformed back into his original childhood form.
He still has no way to take Qianyuan away from under the watchful eye of the Azure Dragon Immortal.
So let's keep this disguise and stay with Qianyuan for a while longer.
Zhou Zeyuan casually grabbed a medicine cultivator, ordered him to examine Qian Yuan, and then had him examine himself.
The medicine cultivator had no idea how a demon had infiltrated his sect, but all he could do now was diagnose Zhou Zeyuan with trembling hands, unable to even utter the words to call for someone to capture the guy.
Even though Zhou Zeyuan is currently using a boy's body, the leak of even a little bit of that terrifying demonic energy is enough to bend the medicine cultivator's legs.
Sensing his awakening, Ruo Piaoxue and Ruo Liufeng were also affected and became his left and right protectors when serving the Demon Lord.
They did not have demon blood; they were all cultivating in the righteous sects, and then voluntarily fell into demonic ways to follow Zhou Zeyuan.
Seeing his two trusted subordinates appear, Zhou Zeyuan couldn't help but compare them to their previous foolish appearance, wondering how much they had changed after falling into demonic ways.
The next second, Ruoliufeng was right in front of Qianyuan:
"Huh? Why isn't our child falling into demonhood with us?"
Zhou Zeyuan slapped Ruoliu Feng hard on the head:
"How could divine beasts fall into demonic possession? Wouldn't that turn them into ferocious beasts? They would be punished by heaven!"
This was also the reason why he didn't choose to take Qianyuan with him earlier.
Sigh, it seems he was disappointed. Even if they switched sides, these two guys' husky nature won't change.
Just then, Qianyuan finally woke up. He looked up and saw three little people who looked completely harmless.
The little one immediately grabbed Zhou Zeyuan's hand and asked, "Chirp chirp, are you alright?"
The Demon Lord, who still calls himself "Zhou Qiuqiu"...
While gently coaxing Qianyuan, he pondered how to erase this dark history that had been recorded by the entire Tianyan Sect.
As expected, only by razing the entire sect to the ground can...
As Zhou Zeyuan was thinking, a terrifying gloom appeared in his eyes, but he didn't let the little guy see it.
At that very moment, an uninvited guest arrived.
It is the Azure Dragon.
Qinglong had just noticed that the cub seemed to be acting strangely. When he finished his business and rushed over, he saw this scene.
His child nestled in the arms of the human child with complete trust, held tightly, and from his angle, he could even see the intense possessiveness and obsession in the human child's eyes.
Moreover, he sensed a familiar aura—demonic energy.
But before Azure Dragon could investigate, the nauseating demonic energy had already vanished.
Zhou Zeyuan met Qinglong's cold gaze but remained remarkably calm.
His composure was...unusual for a young man...
Qinglong frowned, but before he could speak, Zhou Zeyuan released his grip and patted Qianyuan's shoulder.
"Your father is here."
The little guy turned to look at the Azure Dragon, then immediately snuggled up to it.
"dad……"
Perhaps it was because the little ones viewed Zhou Zeyuan and Qinglong differently that they also noticed that Qianyuan behaved completely differently in front of Qinglong and in front of Zhou Zeyuan.
Perhaps the little guy felt that Zhou Zeyuan was someone he needed to protect, or maybe he had some other thoughts. So in front of Zhou Zeyuan, Qianyuan paid more attention to her image and whether she was imposing or not. Even when she acted coquettishly, it was done subtly.
In front of the Azure Dragon, the cub had been a father for several lifetimes, so he was quite adept at being a proper cub. That meant being obedient and being incredibly clingy.
There's no way around it; if Dad doesn't have his little one to cuddle with, he'll have to secretly drop his little pearls.
So at this moment, Qianyuan naturally reached out for his father to hold him, snuggling into his father's arms, feeling that the pain he had just suffered had been soothed. He tugged at a strand of his father's hair, burying his head in his father's neck and rubbing against him, just like a well-behaved kitten kneading in his father's arms.
Zhou Zeyuan's eyes turned red with jealousy.
He, however, still pretended to be harmless and said to the Azure Dragon with trepidation, "Immortal Venerable, as a divine beast, it is best not to let my cub out of your sight. There are too many people and eyes on the mountain gate, and given my status, I am not worthy to be my cub's playmate."
As soon as Qinglong felt the soft little cub pressed against him, his mind slowed down, and he no longer had time to doubt Zhou Zeyuan. He simply glanced at him casually:
"Given your self-awareness, I will not pursue the matter of offending the divine beast further."
"However, I will not allow the cubs to come here again in the future."
