This was the second time he had accessed the memories within the white crystal.
Zhou Ping casually sat down next to the image of Chu Changliu, who was planting flowers.
As a child, he had big eyes, the color of spring water, and now he is digging soil and planting flowers in the yard.
Zhou Ping looked down and looked again and again, but in the end he couldn't resist and reached out to gently place his hand on the little guy's head.
Even though I knew I couldn't touch it, I still lingered on the little guy's head for a moment.
Wenyi hasn't come for a while. She's been very busy lately and hasn't been able to find the time to spend with Changliu.
Changliu's father has also disappeared. It is said that there was trouble on the demon side, and he went back to the demon side.
Suddenly, a pebble flew from outside the courtyard and hit Chu Changliu squarely on the head.
"...", Zhou Ping reached out to block the pebble, but watched helplessly as the pebble's shadow passed through his hand. His pupils contracted slightly, and then he looked worriedly at Chu Changliu, whose head was tilted back slightly after being hit.
With his forehead smashed open, Chu Changliu looked up at the sky in the courtyard after regaining his senses.
This courtyard is Wen Yi's residence, equipped with a fourth-order defensive array. Ordinary people would find it difficult to even approach this place, let alone throw anything in.
"A defensive array?" Chu Changliu squinted at the sky. The blue barrier in the sky was slowly dissolving, which meant that... the defensive array was being broken.
Outside the courtyard.
"Young Sect Master, the person inside is the son of the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect. We shouldn't just barge in like this..." Before he could finish his advice, the servant was kicked away.
"You said that person is a bastard born of a human and a demon. Even if I really kill him, what can the Hehuan Sect do to me?" A pebble was tossed high into the air and then caught firmly in the hand of the young man in brocade.
The compass in his hand spun rapidly, and in the next moment, the array set up outside the courtyard was completely broken.
"How dare the fox clan from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons kill my elder brother? Isn't that the child of the new fox clan king inside?"
After kicking the door open, flames surged around him, and light flickered. He was determined to make the fox king taste the bitterness of losing loved ones!
With just one step inside, the fire began to spread from his feet.
After searching every corner of the courtyard, trying to capture the half-demon himself, he still couldn't find him.
"Heh..." Wen Yi should have sensed the formation being broken and rushed over; he didn't have much time left.
Are we going to return empty-handed this time?
Frustrated, he trampled all the flowers in the yard with one kick, then turned to walk out the door.
The courtyard gate had been closed at some point, and the young man in brocade robes reached out to push it open, but he couldn't budge it.
The moment his hand touched the door, the surrounding fire extinguished and shrank.
"A spirit-locking array? Damn it..." We've been tricked.
"Bang!" A small shovel struck his head, knocking him unconscious with just one blow.
Soaked to the bone, Chu Changliu reached out and checked the boy's breath. Seeing that he was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The invisibility and breath-concealing talismans on his body had lost their effectiveness. He had been holding his breath and hiding inside the water tank, which is why he hadn't been found.
He held the shovel to the boy's neck for a while, then finally put it down.
He was always intelligent. He had just heard people outside calling this young sect leader. He was able to break through a fourth-order formation and break in. His identity must be extraordinary.
I mustn't cause trouble for my mother.
But thinking about it still made him angry, so he couldn't help but throw away the shovel, straddle the unconscious boy, and start punching and kicking him.
When Wen Yi arrived, she saw Chang Liu giving the young sect leader of Xuan You Sect a left hook.
My tense heart finally relaxed, but seeing the injury on my son's forehead still made me feel a pang of sadness.
"Changliu..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Changliu looked up towards the door and smiled when he saw Wen Yi. "Mother."
He quickly scrambled to his feet, threw himself into Wen Yi's arms, and said boastfully, "Chang Liu beat up this older brother!"
He quickly recounted the entire incident in one breath.
"He called me a bastard, kicked down the door and barged in, but couldn't find me. He ended up running into the spirit-locking array himself."
“Changliu, my good child… I’m not some bastard, don’t listen to what he says.” Wenyi hugged him tightly with heartache upon hearing this.
The subsequent handling was strange. Chu Changliu only remembered that a grumpy old man came and took the unconscious young sect leader away.
The relationship between the Hehuan Sect and the Xuanyou Sect became increasingly tense.
One night, it was very late, and Dad, who hadn't shown his face for a long time, came.
"Changliu, why did you wake up so suddenly? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Ever since that incident, Wen Yi has never dared to leave Chu Changliu alone again. She now stays here almost all the time and rarely goes out.
But this can't go on forever.
Changliu needs to interact with people; we can't just keep him locked up in the courtyard like this. He sees very few people normally.
Whenever Wenyi sees her talkative son talking only to the flowers and plants he has grown, she feels a pang of heartache.
Even when she takes Changliu out, she is often criticized because of her half-demon bloodline. What's worse, some children will fight with Changliu when she is not around.
This situation cannot be prevented, especially given the current tense situation between humans and demons.
"I slept for a long time during the day, why did you come, Dad?" Changliu rubbed his eyes and looked at his father, who was smiling at him, with some confusion.
"Are you really sure, my wife?" The man leaned in as always, picking Chu Changliu up in his arms. "My wife, why don't you take the child and elope with me? I won't be the Demon King anymore, and we'll find a place to live in seclusion..."
He started talking nonstop, "That matter was clearly not done by our fox clan. Those mad dogs from the Xuanyou Sect have been relentlessly pursuing it. My wife, you and Changliu must have suffered a lot of injustice. If all else fails, I'll invite some of our clan's elders, and then we'll tell everyone that you were kidnapped by me..."
“We’ll get married then. The Wen family patriarch seems quite kind; she’ll definitely be willing to come and have a drink at our wedding…”
"It's my fault, really. I couldn't even give you a wedding..."
"Slap!" Wen Yi slapped him across the face, successfully stunning him.
"Chu Yunqi, put away those romantic notions in your head!"
"The human and demon races are about to go to war. What unrealistic things are you saying?"
"Let me go with you? Where do you place me, where do you place Changliu, and where do you place the Hehuan Sect and the Wen family behind me?"
"Taking Changliu away now is better for both of us."
“My lady…” Chu Yunqi took a step back, his tail drooping behind him.
Without saying another word, he turned and left with Chu Changliu in his arms.
